In this deeply personal episode of the Say Yes Anyway Podcast, I open up about one of the most important and heartbreaking topics I've ever explored—human trafficking. As I record this episode from Thailand, a country known for both its beauty and its dark realities surrounding exploitation, I reflect on the journey that led me to dedicate my life to raising awareness and creating change.I share how my awakening to this issue began over 16 years ago in Seattle when I first learned about trafficking happening right in my own community. That discovery ignited a lifelong mission that has since taken me around the world—from Los Angeles to Thailand—working alongside organizations fighting for freedom and restoration.We explored:The global realities and human stories behind sex trafficking in Thailand and beyondThe emotional and psychological manipulation that keeps individuals trapped in exploitationThe power of compassion and radical love as tools for transformation and justiceMy experiences serving women on the streets of Los Angeles and what those encounters taught me about resilience and hopeThe heart behind Wholeness Journey and how it brings healing, identity, and community to survivorsWhy it's time for all of us to step up, speak up, and become changemakers in our own waysThis episode is a call to action—to see, to care, and to do something. Change starts when we say yes to awareness and allow compassion to move us toward action. Together, we can create a ripple effect of hope and healing.It would mean the world if you can share this episode with a friend who's ready to step into her zone of genius and create lasting transformation. One brave YES can change everything.If you liked it, download and share it with a friend or on social media and tag @jessdahl_. Follow along our impact work @wholenessjourney

In this episode of Ethnocynology, host David Ian Howe sits down with archaeologist and anthropologist Dr. William Taylor (University of Colorado Boulder), author of Hoofbeats: How Horses Shaped Human History.While this show usually focuses on dogs, today we shift to the other animal that transformed humanity: the horse. Dr. Taylor walks us through the evolutionary history of horses, their domestication on the Eurasian steppe, and their reintroduction to the Americas after the Ice Age. Together we explore how humans first interacted with horses—as prey, symbols in cave art, sources of milk and meat, and eventually as partners in transport, warfare, and belief systems.Topics include:The origins of domestic horses around 2000 BC in the Caucasus steppesHorses evolving in North America, going extinct, and being reintroduced by the SpanishHunting evidence from sites like Schöningen in Germany and Bluefish Caves in the YukonHorses in Paleolithic cave art (Lascaux, Chauvet) and the Vogelherd ivory carvingEvidence for early horse riding and chariot use in Egypt, Assyria, and beyondThe role of horses in indigenous North and South American societies before widespread European contactEthno-equine parallels in Mongolia, Australia, and Patagonia, where horses shaped cultural, spiritual, and economic lifeThis is Part 1 of a two-part series: next time, David speaks with Cassidy Thornhill of the University of Wyoming, who researches the protohistoric introduction of horses into the Americas.If you enjoy the episode, please rate and review Ethnocynology on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

What if ageing well had less to do with your genes, your skincare routine or the supplements you take ... and more to do with your immune system?Most of us think about immunity as something that only matters when we're fighting off a cold or flu. But actually, it's quietly working behind the scenes every single day shaping how we feel, how we recover and how long we stay well.Our immune health is also constantly evolving and changing over our lifecycle. From birth to our 20s, midlife and beyond our immune system plays a critical role in how we feel, our risk of disease and how well we age.Dr Jenna Macciochi is an immunologist specialising in the intersection of nutrition, movement, mind-body practices and lifestyle with the immune system in health and disease. She's also a brilliant science communicator who has a beautiful way of weaving science with story.

During RSAC Conference 2025, Andrew Carney, Program Manager at DARPA, and (remotely via video) Dr. Kathleen Fisher, Professor at Tufts University and Program Manager for the AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC), guide attendees through an immersive experience called Northbridge—a fictional city designed to showcase the critical role of AI in securing infrastructure through the DARPA-led AI Cyber Challenge.Inside Northbridge: The Stakes Are RealNorthbridge simulates the future of cybersecurity, blending AI, infrastructure, and human collaboration. It's not just a walkthrough — it's a call to action. Through simulated attacks on water systems, healthcare networks, and cyber operations, visitors witness firsthand the tangible impacts of vulnerabilities in critical systems. Dr. Fisher emphasizes that the AI Cyber Challenge isn't theoretical: the vulnerabilities competitors find and fix directly apply to real open-source software relied on by society today.The AI Cyber Challenge: Pairing Generative AI with Cyber ReasoningThe AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) invites teams from universities, small businesses, and consortiums to create cyber reasoning systems capable of autonomously identifying and fixing vulnerabilities. Leveraging leading foundation models from Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, the teams operate with tight constraints—working with limited time, compute, and LLM credits—to uncover and patch vulnerabilities at scale. Remarkably, during semifinals, teams found and fixed nearly half of the synthetic vulnerabilities, and even discovered a real-world zero-day in SQLite.Building Toward DEFCON Finals and BeyondThe journey doesn't end at RSA. As the teams prepare for the AIxCC finals at DEFCON 2025, DARPA is increasing the complexity of the challenge—and the available resources. Beyond the competition, a core goal is public benefit: all cyber reasoning systems developed through AIxCC will be open-sourced under permissive licenses, encouraging widespread adoption across industries and government sectors.From Competition to CollaborationCarney and Fisher stress that the ultimate victory isn't in individual wins, but in strengthening cybersecurity collectively. Whether securing hospitals, water plants, or financial institutions, the future demands cooperation across public and private sectors.The Northbridge experience offers a powerful reminder: resilience in cybersecurity is built not through fear, but through innovation, collaboration, and a relentless drive to secure the systems we all depend on.___________Guest: Andrew Carney, AI Cyber Challenge Program Manager, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) | https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-carney-945458a6/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com______________________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebSandboxAQ: https://itspm.ag/sandboxaq-j2enArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebDropzone AI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________ResourcesThe DARPA AIxCC Experience at RSAC 2025 Innovation Sandbox: https://www.rsaconference.com/usa/programs/sandbox/darpaLearn more and catch more stories from RSAC Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25___________KEYWORDSandrew carney, kathleen fisher, marco ciappelli, sean martin, darpa, aixcc, cybersecurity, rsac 2025, defcon, ai cybersecurity, event coverage, on location, conference______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Episode Summary In this episode of Think Thursday, we're diving into the psychology and neuroscience of reminiscing. Why does it feel so comforting to revisit our past? What is actually happening in our brains when we do it? And how can we intentionally use this experience to feel more grounded, present, and connected?This isn't just about nostalgia—it's about using our memories as a powerful tool for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and identity reinforcement. You'll learn why reminiscing matters, what research says about its benefits, and how to intentionally evoke it to support a life of peace, meaning, and alignment.In this episode, you'll learn:How the brain's default mode network supports self-reflection and memoryWhy reminiscing lights up the brain's reward system and releases dopamineThe therapeutic power of reminiscence and its effect on mood and stressFive ways to trigger positive, intentional reminiscingHow reminiscing supports personal growth, especially in midlife and beyondThe role of life review and reflection in building wisdom and inner calmResearch Highlights:Speer et al., 2014 (Cognitive, Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience): Positive memory recall activates the ventral striatum, part of the brain's reward system2013 study in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience: Reminiscing increases self-esteem, social connection, and perceived life meaningMeta-analysis in Aging & Mental Health (2014): Structured reminiscence therapy improves mood and well-being in both clinical and non-clinical groupsHarvard Grant Study: Individuals who reflect on life with curiosity and compassion report higher satisfaction in later yearsErik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development: Life review in midlife and later years is a key developmental task for achieving wisdom and integrationPractice This Week:Take ten minutes to intentionally revisit a positive memory. Choose one of the following:Play a song from your younger yearsLight a candle or smell that reminds you of homeLook through old photographsHold a personal keepsakeCall a friend and share a “remember when” momentThen ask yourself:What strengths or values were alive in me during that memory?What part of myself am I reconnecting with?What could I bring forward into today?Reminiscing is not about living in the past. It's about building strength and clarity in the present by remembering who you've always been.Support the Show: If this episode resonated with you, consider sharing it with a friend or leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Why do so many students (and adults) believe they “just aren't good at math”? How can educators shift that mindset and build confidence in STEM learning?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Kathy Meyers, a veteran high school teacher who blends sports psychology with math instruction to help students overcome self-doubt, develop resilience, and master problem-solving—critical skills for both the classroom and the workforce.Kathy shares how techniques used by elite athletes—positive self-talk, goal-setting, and focus strategies—can transform student outcomes in STEM education. From tackling math anxiety to fostering leadership and teamwork, she provides practical strategies that educators and parents can use to support student success.Listen to learn:The role of self-talk, confidence, and mindset in learning math and technical subjectsHow Sudoku puzzles teach problem-solving and resilience from day oneWhy playing to win vs. playing not to lose matters in both sports and educationHow to help students reframe failure as growth in STEM classroomsReal-life stories of students who applied these lessons in college, careers, and beyondThe power of a positive mindset can completely change the trajectory of a student's life! Educators and leaders, these are great tools to instill in your classroom and workplace.3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Mindset Matters in Math and STEMStudents often struggle not because they lack ability, but because they believe they aren't “math people.” Applying sports psychology techniques like positive self-talk and goal-setting helps reframe their approach to learning.2. Failure is Part of the Learning ProcessJust like in sports, students need a growth mindset to push through challenges. Teaching strategies like trying different problem-solving methods (as with Sudoku puzzles) encourages resilience and adaptability.3. Confidence and Preparation Lead to SuccessWhether it's a test, a job interview, or a big presentation, students perform best when they train their minds like athletes—visualizing success, controlling self-doubt, and focusing on small, actionable steps.Resources in this Episode:View Kathy's YouTube channel with math tips & tricks!Other resources:The Happiness Advantage by Shawn AchorNapoleon Hill booksNorman Vincent Peale booksTony Robbins resourcesRudy - A football movie about perseverance and goal-settingWe want to hear from you!

We're thrilled to celebrate this milestone with you by sharing an incredible conversation with TV icon, Stacy London.

Now, she's shining a spotlight on menopause and women's health in midlife–topics long overlooked in both media and medical circles. Stacy's mission is crystal clear: it's time to rewrite the story on women and aging.Join Stacy and Erin for an engaging and informative conversation on the intersection of perimenopause, menopause, aging, sexuality, and women's health. Here's what we explore:Why Gen X is spearheading the revolution in conversations around women and agingThe importance of destigmatizing menopause and prioritizing women's health in medical research and educationBanishing the "anti" in front of aging and instead, embracing it as a natural, vibrant phase of life.How a study with flawed data halted scientific research on menopause for the last two decadesHow the choices we make in midlife directly impact our vitality and longevity as we ageDissecting the gaps in research on female physiology and women's health, menopause and beyondThe importance of having representation of midlife women in media The vital role that real-life connections and community building play in educating women on their healthOUR GUEST: Stacy London is best known as the co-host of the iconic TLC show, What Not To Wear. She has been a regular correspondent on the Today Show, The Oprah Show, Access Hollywood, and Rachael Ray. She served as the spokesperson for Pantene, Dr. Scholls, Lee Jeans, and Woolite. Her book, The Truth About Style, was a NYT bestseller. She is also an advisor to Wile, a wellness brand for women, and Evernow, a telehealth and menopause treatment platform. After her own debilitating experience with menopause, she now focuses on education and healthcare advocacy for those in mid-life and menopause. Her next project, a media platform, dedicated to these same issues will debut early in 2024.Want more Stacy?
