In 2025, he returned. And now, in 2026, the planet is in dire trouble. As a result of Sky's presence, the Earth has been covered in a calyx, a deadly web of foliage which blocks out the sun. It's up to the unearthly traveller and his friends to save the planet - but they might need the help of Sky's own people. The Confluence Arby and Jack are lost in the Juganet. Bex and Kyle take Sky to meet an old friend. Jane Briggs and her grief counsellor go through many weeks of sessions about Roy's death until the Juganet reunites them with the others but six months in Jane's future. But is everything, and everyone, quite what they seem? The Place of Darkness Another trip through the Juganet sees the Briggs family forced to confront their past while Arby and Cerys confront a twisted future. Who or what is the Skygod, and why does it demand tribune? And what is Kyle Brannock wearing on his head? This Far and No Further The Calyx has almost destroyed Earth and Sky is forced to do the one thing he dreads - he brings his own people to the planet to ask for help. But the Travellers have helped Earth in the past and are not very inclined to give this failed world yet another chance.

Bex sends Dan to Greenwich for a face your fears challenge, and he turns up on the riverside with no idea what is coming. Inside his envelope is the mission: climb to the top of the Cutty Sark, the famous tea clipper that once raced tea leaves from Asia to Europe and now sits in dry dock in south London. The problem is that Dan is terrified of heights, and so is producer Paul! Strapped into harnesses, safety lines and heart rate monitors, they head up the ratlines, the rope ladders that sailors once climbed with nothing attached to them at all. The Cutty Sark Rig Climb Experience takes you to the tops platform and then out along the lower topsail yard, around 21 metres above the main deck, with huge views across the Thames and London. Getting down is the strangest bit, because you lean back, take your hands off the ropes and get winched gently to the deck. Does Dan's heart rate survive? Climbers need to be at least 8 years old, and you can find out more by searching for Cutty Sark Rig Climb Experience.

Bex sends Adam back to the 15th century as he visits the Loxwood Joust, an entire medieval fantasy kingdom hidden away in an ancient woodland at Loxwood, right on the West Sussex and Surrey border. You park your car in the 21st century, walk through a marquee, and come out somewhere completely different! Adam meets founder Morris Bacon, who runs the event with his son Danny, to hear how a small family medieval festival grew over 14 years into one of the biggest events of its kind in the UK, with an artistic director, actors as well as reenactors, and proper storylines you can join in with. Along the way there are witches, a talking wall, a working replica of the rack from the Tower of London, blacksmiths and scribes to have a go with, archery, axe throwing, a jester, puppets, and a band all the way from Spain called Trobar de Morte. Adam also watches the Meat Grinder, where around forty fighters in full armour charge at each other with swords and axes! The Loxwood Joust runs across the first three weekends of August.Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailBex Spiller is the founder of The Anti-Burnout Club and creator of the Right to Recover campaign — joins Ela to talk burnout, workplace culture, and why recovery should be a right, not a luxury.We covered Bex's Burnout StoryBex built a marketing agency from her bedroom at 21, then hit a wall physically and mentally while studying for an MBA in addition to long working hours. A GP eventually named what she'd been feeling: burnout — a word she'd never heard before. That crisis, plus losing her father to stress-related heart disease, led her to start a small blog in 2020 that grew into The Anti-Burnout Club, now used by tens of thousands.We discussed where "Push Yourself" Beliefs Come FromBex traces her own drive back to childhood — poverty, losing her mum young, and feeling she had to prove herself. We discussed how hustle culture, school attendance awards, and even old Protestant beliefs about idleness being sinful have taught us that rest equals laziness — when most "laziness" is really overwhelm or unaddressed struggle.We explained why Individual Wellness Fixes Aren't EnoughYoga and meditation apps, whilst certainly great resources, put the burden of recovery on the individual and ignore root causes (e.g. understaffing and poor management in organisations, overcommitment and complex life circumstance in private lives). Bex now focuses on organisations — training managers to have honest conversations about stress, rather than offering wellness perks as a substitute for real change.Bex explained the Right to Recover CampaignEmployees take 9–11 official sick days a year on average, but "presenteeism" (working while unwell) costs roughly 44 lost productive days per person annually! Bex argues that giving people genuine time to recover is both more humane and better for business — and discusses how mistrust and guilt make it harder for people to ask for rest.We talked about the physical toll of burnoutChronic stress has real physiological effects — weakened immunity, stress-related heart disease, allostatic load. Bex reflects on a funeral where a woman's career barely came up compared to how she lived and loved. The takeaway: systemic change is needed, but individuals can start by knowing their own capacity, having honest conversations, and treating recovery as normal, not a failure.About Bex SpillerBex Spiller is an award-winning burnout speaker, author and changemaker. She's the founder of The Anti-Burnout Club and heads up the Right to Recover campaign, which aims to reduce the number of people working when unwell. Connect with Bex: The Anti Burnout Club (free app available) https://bexspeaks.com/ Support the showPlease reach out if you would like some support with your relationship to food OR movement.

The Beggar, The Boss, and The Bold Speaker: Pastor Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 John 5:14-15 1 John Series, Part 22 Episode Summary Returning to the 1 John series, Pastor Michael uses an original skit about three siblings trying to ask their Dad for a puppy to illustrate three very different approaches to prayer. Are you a Beggar - too timid to bother God? A Boss - trying to manipulate or demand your way? Or Bold - a child who trusts a loving Father to hear and answer wisely? John gives us a better way to pray. Key Points - Our confidence in prayer is not based on who we are, but on Who God Is - Believers are not beggars at the door - we are children of the household, with a claim rooted in The Blood of Christ - Praying "according to His will" means trusting God more than we trust ourselves - The problem is wanting the promises of prayer without the surrender of prayer - God hears, God cares, and God will act - we can pray with boldness AND trust Main Takeaway Pray like a bold child asking a loving Father. Not with the timidity of a beggar who fears being turned away, and not with the arrogance of a boss who demands his own way. Come honestly, come confidently, and trust that a Father Who loves you will do what is best - even when the answer is not what you expected. Memorable Quotes - "Your confidence for prayer is not based on who you are. It is based on Who God Is." - "A kid doesn't have to make an appointment to ask Dad a question." - "Prayer is not me taking the throne; it's me coming boldly to the throne." - "It's a problem when we want the promises of prayer without the surrender of prayer." - "The beggar is afraid God will not listen. The boss is angry if God does not obey. But the bold child has learned something better." - "If my Father hears me, I am not forgotten. If my Father loves me, I am not unsafe. If my Father is wise, His Answer is better than anything I can ask for." Reflection Question When you pray, which are you most like - Bex the Beggar, Boz the Boss, or Bo the Bold? What would it look like to bring your requests to God with confidence and trust this week? Tune in to hear the hilarious skit featuring three siblings hoping for a dog, and the legendary fate of Mister Nibbles the hamster - and discover what it really means to pray like a bold child asking a loving Father.

It's not news that there are changes afoot in the world of education. You're probably already well aware of the closure, over the past few years, of schools with a long history. There are concerns with loan debt that have been an issue since Obama was president. Most recently, the changes to student loans that not only fundamentally affect the acupuncture trade, but will change the landscape for graduate education in a notable way. In this conversation with Bex Groebner we untangle the intersection of education, accreditation, federal student loan programs and professional accountability. We explore how changes in funding will put financial pressure on schools that built a business model based on the higher loan caps of GRAD+ loans. How student debt affects those who are mortgaging their future on loans that many cannot pay back. Along with what could happen if the levels of student enrollment drop to the point where our accreditor (ACAHM) and certification organization (NCBAHM) lose the funding needed to sustain their business activities.Bex suggests that in an uncertain world, it's best to have a back up, and that is a large part of the motivation behind her work at the Acupuncture Workforce Alliance. Most of all, she'd like to see an acupuncture education be accessible, affordable and within reach of anyone who'd like to learn this medicine so they can serve their communities, and be able to support themselves and their families.

Camilla desperately wants a new pet: a guinea pig, or better yet, a dog! Mum sets out her defence: dogs are a huge long-term commitment, cost a lot, and when Camilla goes to university, guess who'll be left scooping poop? (Hint: Not Camilla!) Meanwhile, sibling roommates Emily and William are at war over early mornings. Emily’s beauty sleep is regularly shattered by William, who’s wide awake after a doggy face-lick alarm clock. William blames the dog, Emily wants to join morning video games but not at 4 or 5am – and mum has resorted to earplugs! Family life isn’t always purrfect, but there’s always a way to make it work.

In this episode Bex & Laura answer a question from the community. Bex also tries to make up a jingle for ‘questions from the community' but it's fair to say, she fails. The question this week is around navigating life after loss - How to handle pregnant people around you. The girls talk about the importance of boundaries and setting expectations, prepping your partner or friends during social visits, navigating the painful feelings like guilt, shame and ‘feeling like a diva' They chat about whats app groups, being angry when invited to baby showers, being angry when not invited to baby showers and the injustice and unfairness of the situation as a whole. They also discuss how communication can help almost every situation. If you have any questions you'd like answered in a future episode, please email it over, no question too small or silly - info@twgge.co.uk We are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation. We're all about bringing people together who are going through the tough stuff — baby loss, infertility, and everything in between — and making sure no one has to face it alone. Our community is full of honesty, compassion, and real talk, offering support, understanding, and hope when it's needed most.

Welcome to Season Seven of Nobody Should Believe Me. Andrea revisits the case of Maya Kowalski—the story at the center of the Netflix film Take Care of Maya–and the family's high-profile lawsuit against Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. What became widely framed as a story about “medical kidnapping” began when hospital staff reported suspected medical child abuse after Maya arrived with a history of extreme ketamine treatments.  How did a case of horrific abuse become a story about evil doctors kidnapping children? Featuring: Ethen Shapiro, Attorney for Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital *** Listen to our 4-part recap of the Kowalski Case: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/revisiting-kowalski-part-one-the-turn/id1615637188?i=1000750439578 Listen to our season 3 coverage of the Kowalski Case: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s03-e01-special-report-watching-take-care-of-maya-re-release/id1615637188 Listen to Andrea and Dr. Bex's coverage of the Kowalski v Johns Hopkins Trial: https://www.patreon.com/collection/548199 Try out Andrea's Podcaster Coaching App: https://studio.com/apps/andrea/podcaster Order Andrea's book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy: https://read.macmillan.com/lp/the-mother-next-door-9781250284273/ View our sponsors: https://www.nobodyshouldbelieveme.com/sponsors/ Remember that using our codes helps advertisers know you're listening and helps us keep making the show!   Subscribe on YouTube where we have bonus content: https://www.youtube.com/@NobodyShouldBelieveMePod Follow Andrea on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreadunlop/ Buy Andrea's books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Andrea-Dunlop/author/B005VFWJPI For more information and resources on Munchausen by Proxy, please visit: https://www.munchausensupport.com/ The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children's MBP Practice Guidelines: https://apsac.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Munchausen-by-Proxy-Clinical-and-Case-Management-Guidance-.pdf Learn more about your ad choices.

We're taking it back to basics Lads... This week Bex & Laura take on a couple of questions from the community around sharing loss stories - when is the right time? How do we advocate while protecting our wellbeing? and how to navigate the fear of judgement. There's also some singing and some laughter - although Bex's rendition of 'Earth song' was so bad that our editing software recognised it as unwanted background noise so we're afraid that didn't make it to the final cut - she's happy to voice note anyone who wants it. If you have any questions for the next 'community questions' episode, please email them over to us at info@twgge.co.uk - with 'community questions' in the subject line. You can ask anything at all - about us, the work we do or how to navigate certain situations - nothing is off limits! Also, we mention our lovely friends Shaun & Kieran over at NeXYs fertility - you can find them @themalefertilitypodcast & @nexysfertility on instagram - a fantastic support for men & all things male fertility. Ciao for now xxxWe are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation.
