Podcasts about beautifully

We're experiencing an epidemic of chronic fatigue and burnout, especially for women, and people with marginalised identities. It's part of our modern day polycrisis, and in many ways the exhaustion we're experiencing in our individual bodies mirrors the environmental challenges that are ravaging our earth, our larger body. We're driving both to the very edges of their capacity. Beautifully, the practice of menstrual cycle awareness can help us to live in alignment with our natural rhythms, to embrace rest and prevent overwhelm and burnout. We can connect with the four phases of the menstrual cycle as our own personal energy management system. And when we listen for and cooperate with the natural ebb and flow of our inner seasons, we rebel against the subtle but pervasive messaging that we should be more, bigger, faster. We feel better, we're more creative, more powerful and we model the much-needed art of sustainable living. We explore:What Sjanie learned about sustainable, cyclical living from a fierce lioness she encountered in a dream.The creative power that opens up within us when we dare (and are able) to step out of hustle mode, stop producing and surrender into non-doing at menstruation. Alexandra's personal story of discovering the power of stopping, through years of intense menstrual pain, which she was eventually able to heal through the power of rest and listening to her body. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

This episode offers a judgment-free zone for women curious about eyelid procedures, with practical advice, honest recovery stories, and the empowering reminder that at this age and stage, you don't owe anyone an explanation for your personal choices. This honest chat dives into navigating the judgment that comes with beauty decisions—whether you choose interventions or age naturally—and the surprising psychological journey of seeing your face change after surgery. Host Natalie Jill and guest Karen Karlsen both emphasize that cosmetic procedures aren't about "hating yourself" but rather aligning your appearance with your vibrant internal self. They explore the disconnect that happens when your reflection doesn't match how you feel inside, and provide a detailed breakdown of different eye rejuvenation options, recovery expectations, and crucial factors to consider when selecting a surgeon. Whether you're considering similar procedures or simply interested in conversations about pro-aging (not anti-aging), this discussion provides the real talk that's often missing from beauty conversations.

Ben and Rob wash up on ‘The Island Of Dr Moreau', the 1996 commercial and critical flop starring Marlon Brando, Val Kilmer, David Thewlis, and Fairuza Balk. This film is an absolute fever dream involving cloning, body horror and nonsense plotting; only overshadowed by the drama happening behind the scenes. Marlon Brando improvised what lines he wasn't fed via earpiece, Val Kilmer was a walking menace and the lead role was recast three times.So how does such a famous book get adapted into one of the messiest films of all time? How did the original director employ literal wizards to help him secure the film? Why did a crew member's hand melt? And why is this film so entertaining to watch even today?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

To continue the idea of ‘Type Ensouled', Sammy and Kristen reflect on their own dreams and how they've correlated with their personality and life experiences. We use the power of stories and myth to amplify the purpose of our personal enneagram types. To be able to ‘catch the thread' of our human and soul path became a fun and interesting attempt to play with the creative energies that are present. “Storytelling is at the heart of life... In finding our own story, we assemble all the parts of ourselves. Whatever kind of mess we have made of it, we can somehow see the totality of who we are and recognize how our blunderings are related. We can own what we did and value who we are, not because of the outcome but because of the soul story that propelled us.” - Marion Woodman

Broken Country by Clare Lesley Hall. Set in a small English farming community in the 1960s, this is the story of a love triangle which goes horribly wrong. Beth and Gabriel were young lovers whose lives then took very different turns and when they reconnect years later, a lot of things have changed. You know from the first page that someone is dead, and the weight of secrets which Beth and her husband Frank are holding becomes insurmountable as a murder trial looms and nothing will ever be the same again. Beautifully written and highly recommended. Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy. Dominic Salt and his three children live on the remote island of Shearwater where he's the custodian of the world's largest seed bank. A woman is washed ashore in a storm, but her arrival can't be random as the island is so remote and it soon becomes clear she's come searching for something which the family may not want to give her. The isolation, the depth of these characters and the unfurling of the story is couched in some exceptional writing. This book is a miracle.

Show notes provided Joe PelusoWorlds will live! Worlds will Die! And the DC Universe will never be the same!" That was the slogan--the catch-all that DC comics showcased in all their books in late 1984 for the coming company-wide event of 1985 that would make comic book publishing history! Characters, past events, time-lines, origins, and fifth years of publishing history, in an ever-expanding universe, was about to implode!    Join hosts, James, Keith and Joe as they rocket into themultiverse and try to stay ahead of the wave of destruction unleashed by master storytellers Marv Wolfman and George Perez. It was time for a change, and for twelve issues hitting the shelves every month in 1985, that change was steaming toward a cataclysmic and transformational conclusion of unprecedented proportions!    Beautifully illustrated by the great George Perez, Marv Wolfman's scintillating script came to life in the most shocking, awe-inspiring way. Tragedy, self-sacrifice, and mind-blowing super-heroics assaulted the senses of avid DC fans for an entire year! To the devoted reader, it was the equivalent of discovering "the lost city of gold"!   The boys deep dive into the first three issues with recollections, reviews, and raucous remarks that will delight and inform. If you have never read this seminal work, or are coming back to it after a period of time, join the guys as they are buffeted from one reality to the next as only this special medium of entertainment could exert! But be forewarned, there are spectral shadows of unspeakable peril that will terminate some of your favorite super-friends! Themultiverse is no place for the faint of heart!

Tights and Fights is on TikTok! New videos will be posted throughout the week. And to get ready for WrestleMania, check out our new Las Vegas themed shirts at MaxFunStore.com.It was an Elimination Chamber event for the ages!The women's edition of the event started off with a wicked Jade Cargill heel run. Her attack on Naomi was sold BEAUTIFULLY by Bianca Belair, who eventually won the match and will wrestle for the World Title at Mania.Trishy Time was a fun way to keep the Canadians happy (necessary after they booed the national anthem).With how badly Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn beat each other, we have to wonder if this was just the first of two brawls between the two former besties– with the next one to come at WrestleMania.And the highlight of the night was the men's elimination chamber. With tons of rivalries playing out and all won by the beloved John Cena… put a pin in that. Main Event: John Cena turns heelAfter a brief stare down between Cena and Cody, The Rock came out to the ring to collect on his demand for the champion's soul. When Cody dropped an F Bomb to refuse, that would lead to one of WWE's biggest taboos: John Cena turning heel, kicking Cody right in the balls, smacking him bloody with the belt and aligning with the Final Boss… and Travis Scott.Three CountDanielle put over The Alliance For All Wrestling.Lindsey put over Jon Stewart x John Cena.Hal put over CM Punk cookin'. Hosted by Danielle Radford, Lindsey Kelk and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

This week we are discussing “Helping Our Kids Grieve Loss” with Annie F. Downs and Tatum Green - authors of Where Did TJ Go?   None of us are exempt from loss. We have all lost someone we love in some way or another. This is a painful subject that we often don't know how to talk to our kids about—but it's also incredibly crucial that we do. How do we talk to our kids about grief and loss in a healthy, honest, and appropriate way? Our guests this week, New York Times bestselling author, Annie F. Downs and her sister, Tatum Green are Co-Authors on a new book - Where Did TJ Go? (Baker Books) and they will help us navigate this challenging topic.    Where Did TJ Go? helps children and families deal with grief and loss, offering comfort and hope.   After Green suffered the loss of a baby, Downs wrote a story for her nephew, Sam, about where his baby brother TJ went. Beautifully illustrated by Jennie Poh, Where Did TJ Go? helps grieving families explain what happened and what kind of experiences a child might be having in heaven with the God who loves them and makes everything good in its time.Tender and sincere, this story doesn't shy away from the hurt even as it offers comfort and hope to those left behind. "We are so hopeful that this book will serve families in their grief- giving parents some tools for starting conversations with their kids, and giving kids some vision and hope about eternity."   https://wheredidtjgo.com/ LINK TO SHOW NOTES For all the detailed show notes, tips and links click - https://soloparent.org/show-notes-blog   ASK US ANYTHING!

Season 07 Episode 07: AI Ethics: A Beautifully Shambolic DisasterWARNING: This episode includes discussion on a workplace fatality – we advise listener discretion.“Artificial Intelligence (AI) is off its tree!” protests Trajce. “This stuff is dangerous. Its hallucinogenic – a beautifully shambolic disaster. Society must put the rails on it.” “Are you going to try to reign in Sara?” asks Alan, “Impossible!” he follows.Trajce explains his experiencing on using AI to research case law. Tested three times, the AI spit out a different version of events. He warns against the implications to legal practitioners on relying on such inconsistent data and poor research. In contrast, the team reflect on the benefits of closed-domain decision-support systems that are vetted and validated by domain experts, like they've learned through Sara's association with Livemind AI, Lachlan Phillips.The case in question, poorly tested by AI, is one from the rail industry. It involves the dismissal of a long-standing employee who tested positive for a banned substance upon his return to work from his leave. The rabble rousing team, Alan, Trajce, and Sara, can't help but descend into Cheech and Chong and other such movie references. “Say ‘hello' to my little friend,” mimics Trajce from Al Pacino Scarface movie nostalgia. The crew turn this upside down on their debate and wagers on the case outcome – listen in for more!

We talk about how your grip and its ability to square the face allows you to stay with your shot which is the most important key for consistency.

“Mice — whatever it means to you.“   Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Jamie, and Torie.  They break down the CAPs resurgence and a great 2018 moment — off the ice and in the water.  They debate what's behind the  resurgence of brick and mortar book stores.   Award winning author Charlotte Wood zooms in from down under to share “Stone Yard Devotional.”  Released in Australia in 2023 and a Booker Prize finalist in '24, Wood tells the story of a disillusioned conservationist who moves into a convent.  Beautifully spare, it's “extraordinary” as WashPost critic Ron Charles said.  And it makes you work — a good thing!

In this episode, we sit down with Bianca Medina-Leal, Program Director at AECOM, to discuss the challenges and triumphs of managing multi-billion dollar school construction projects.00:57 – Meet BiancaBianca introduces her role at AECOM and how her team helps Austin ISD manage massive school construction projects.02:31 – The $2.4 Billion BondAustin voters approved a $2.4 billion bond to modernize over 130 school facilities. Bianca's team oversees more than $1 billion of the work.03:41 – The Challenge of Aging SchoolsMany Austin ISD buildings are over 50 years old. Deciding whether to renovate or rebuild is a complex process driven by facility assessments and community needs.09:00 – Race Against the ClockWith Austin's rapid growth, the district must move fast. Their aggressive five-year timeline puts pressure on every phase of construction.09:52 – Competing with Mega ProjectsTesla's Gigafactory and Samsung's plant are pulling contractors away. Bianca shares how Austin ISD retains labor despite the competition. 14:05 – Navigating Construction During COVIDCOVID disrupted timelines, but school projects were deemed essential. Bianca details how her team adapted to keep things moving.20:37 – Scaling Up: The Current State of the ProgramFour new schools are opening soon, with more in design and construction. Managing this level of activity requires constant coordination. 21:17 – Why Owners Push Fast ConstructionDelays mean rising costs. With a fixed budget, Austin ISD must act quickly or risk cutting projects due to inflation.26:03 – Choosing the Right Delivery MethodBianca explains why Design-Build and CMAR are the preferred models, emphasizing the importance of strong contractor-architect relationships. 33:20 – Community Engagement in School DesignNo two schools look the same—community input ensures designs reflect local culture and student needs.36:41 – Prefabrication & InnovationPrefab construction offers speed and cost savings, but not every site is a good fit. Lessons learned from past projects guide future decisions.39:20 – The Data DilemmaManaging a $2.4 billion program requires massive data tracking.

Seamless tech integration and better alignment between school construction and district-wide operations.55:00 – The Megaphone QuestionHer message to the industry: Trust, collaboration, and communication are the foundation of every successful project. Construction is about more than just buildings—it's about people.58:48 – Closing ThoughtsBianca reflects on the impact of building schools and why it's all worth it. If you're in construction, take pride in the work you do—it shapes the future.Go build something awesome! -----CHECK OUT THE PARTNERS THAT MAKE OUR SHOW POSSIBLE: https://www.brospodcast.com/partnersFIND US ONLINE:-Our website: https://www.brospodcast.com-LinkedIn: / constructionbrospodcast-Instagram: / constructionbrospodcast-TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@constructionbrothers?lang=en-Eddie on LinkedIn: / eddie-c-057b3b11-Tyler on LinkedIn: / tylerscottcampbellIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to us!

Christen has been a photographer for 17 years and started shooting boudoir about 12 years ago.  When she did, she never looked back. Boudoir is now her specialty and passion and it shows!   I visited her studio in Amesbury, MA and got the full experience from hair and make up with the talented Christine Rutledge to choosing just the right outfits and yes, the shoot. Christen is incredible at not only showing her clients how to pose but bringing those poses to life in amazing photos.

Some seek connection through aggression and conformity, while others embrace vulnerability, allowing rejection to refine their circles of belonging. Through powerful stories including one from motivational speaker Nick Santonastasso this piece challenges us to choose authenticity over approval, faith over fear, and true connection over performative acceptance. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drkellyflanagan.com/how-to-find-belonging-either-beautifully-or-violently/ Quotes to ponder: "Who do you become in order to attract companionship? What do you do in order to keep your companionship?" "The other way is to show up as you actually are, with all your countless imperfections and inabilities and insecurities just laid bare, vulnerable, and alone and to allow the rejecting of you to become the thing that purifies your circles of belonging." "As your sense of belonging grows, your faith in everything else does, too." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's a challenge and I'm not going to pretend that it isn't. Often times, I will be producing an episode of the show as there are unspeakable tragedies happening around the world and in my own backyard. As I produce this episode of the show, I am still in contact with many of my industry friends as well as family who have been directly impacted by the wildfires in and around the Los Angeles area. Thoughts and prayers just are not an acceptable response any more. And let's be honest, that hasn't been a suitable response for a very long time. As we get into our episode today with Erika Cross, I would love for a few things to happen. First, if this podcast can serve as a respite for those who are suffering, even if it's only for a few minutes to think about something else and second, to provide an opportunity to think differently about what we know and what is possible. What do I mean by that? Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Monogram - It's the details that define Monogram ThermaSol - Redefining the modern shower experience. Without steam, it's just a bathroom. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep I believe that we need to reimagine what we know if we want to change things for the better. I also believe that creatives are the ones who manifest it, create it and make those changes real for the rest of us. A while back, you heard an episode of the show discussing Venetian chimneys. These were crafted centuries ago by creative types who suffered the types of fires that demolished entire communities. Beautifully crafted chimneys that also served as spark arresters in the highly dense communities of Venice, Italy. Is art going to keep California from wildfires or floods, or landslides that follow fires and floods? No. But looking to creative types allows us to think differently about things which often puts us in the right mental space to address new ways to approach these challenges. It's certainly not going to be the politicians. SO, for a few minutes, sit back, drive carefully, enjoy your workout or whatever you're doing while you listen, do it safely and we'll be right back with artist, Erika Cross. Thank you, Erika. Loved our chat, love your work. Thank you to my incredible partner/ sponsors; ThermaSol, Design Hardware, pacific Sales, Monogram and TimberTech for your support for the show and the industry as a whole. We are a stronger because of industry partners like you. And of course, thank you for listening to the podcast, subscribing to the show and sharing it with friends and colleagues. Please keep the show and guest suggestions coming, I do appreciate them and do my best to respond to every one.  Convo By Design @ Outlook dot com and on Instagram, convoXDesign, with an “X”.  Thanks again for listening. Happy New Year, make this the year you've been hoping it would be. Until the next episode, Stay focused and rise above the chaos.

Send us a textBeautifully GiftedDeploy Your Gift | Part 3Senior Pastor Keith StewartJanuary 19, 2025You are beautifully gifted - created on purpose and for a purpose. It's been said,“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” That's what this series has been all about; discovering the unique blend of gifts God has placed in you, developing them to their maximum potential, and finally, deploying those gifts in service to God and others. It's time for your gifts to shine!____DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Where did God challenge you most through this message? What did you learn from the Parable of the Talents that you hadn't known before or made you think about it in a new or different way?2. Do you know what your gifts are? Do you have a clear understanding of your purpose? Why or why not? For those of you who lack clarity, share with the group what things get you excited, motivated or you can talk about easily? What qualities do others affirm in you? Have you had any “God moments” – times when you think God was especially at work through something you did or said?3. Have you ever sensed a nudge from the Holy Spirit prompting you to say something or do something but you resisted it? What was the thing you felt compelled to do or say? What held you back? How much of a factor was it that you were afraid of looking stupid or your old wounding was discouraging you or was it something else?4. One of the keys to discovering and refining our sense of who we are and why we are here is simply to make a beginning by using what we have at our disposal to service others. What are some natural talents that you have, areas of experience, or even work-related skills that might be useful to other people? Have you ever put those skills to work outside of your job?5. What are some needs you have noticed in the church? Your community? The world? What is it about this need That moves your heart?6. In what ways have you learned the importance of consistency in the way you serve? What habits or disciplines have helped you become more consistent? In what ways have you made progress, even incremental changes in the way you serve or operate in your gifting?

With a background in theme park management that spans Six Flags, SeaWorld, and Crayola, Richard brought his expertise to Morgan's Wonderland in 2023. Known for being the world's first ultra-accessible theme park, Morgan's Wonderland creates a space where everyone, regardless of ability, can enjoy the magic of theme parks. In this interview, Richard talks about solving complex problems beautifully, ultra accessibility, and shifting mindsets. Solving Complex Problems Beautifully "In architecture, you combine the beauty of art with the science of engineering. Here, we solve complex problems beautifully for our guests and team members alike." Richard's background in architecture shaped his ability to approach problems with creativity and practicality. At Morgan's Wonderland, this approach manifests in seamless solutions for accessibility challenges that preserve the guest experience. Whether it's redesigning a ride's layout or addressing operational hurdles, Richard emphasizes the importance of learning directly from frontline team members. By understanding the root causes of issues and collaborating with his staff, Morgan's Wonderland crafts solutions that prioritize inclusivity while maintaining operational excellence. Ultra Accessibility "Ultra accessibility means nobody is separated from their mobility or life-support devices." Richard shared the unique commitment Morgan's Wonderland has made to create a truly inclusive environment. Unlike typical accessibility accommodations, ultra-accessible rides allow guests to remain in their wheelchairs or bring essential devices on attractions, ensuring no one feels separated from their mobility aids. From flat-surface carousels to harnesses designed for torso stability, every detail is considered. This philosophy extends beyond rides, with accessible retail spaces and policies like allowing outside food for guests with special dietary needs. Shifting Mindsets "The mindset here is to say ‘yes' instead of ‘no.' We look for ways to make the impossible possible." Richard highlighted how Morgan's Wonderland challenges industry norms by rethinking what's possible for both guests and employees. For example, the park employs individuals with disabilities in a range of roles, including positions previously considered unsuitable. A visually impaired ride operator exemplifies this shift, leveraging heightened sensory awareness to manage operations with precision. This inclusive mindset not only enriches the guest experience but also serves as a model for other parks to expand opportunities for individuals with diverse abilities.   Richard Pretlow's leadership at Morgan's Wonderland exemplifies how shifting mindsets and solving problems creatively can lead to groundbreaking inclusivity.
