Podcasts about Bonding

In this episode of Unexpected Turns, host Laura Wilcox has a conversation with Madison, who recalls her worst day ever as a high school student years ago. On the same day, Madison experiences a breakup with her boyfriend, the discovery of a terrible rumor circulating in school about her, and a grade that falls well below the perfectionistic standards she places upon herself. At the end of this terrible day, Madison comes home, refuses to eat dinner, and buries herself deep under her covers to pour out her complaints to God.As Madison cries out to God about the disconnect that she feels between God's promises and her current reality, an increasingly loud thunderstorm rages outside her bedside window. Expressing her anger and sorrow over her day, she finally tells God she has no intention of ever going back to school or even leaving her bed. At that moment, the cacophony of the wild thunderstorm suddenly and completely stops. She realizes just as suddenly that God is present and has never left her alone. As her perspective shifts, Madison begins to pray in a different way, and the rain begins falling softly again. God reminds her that evening and in the following days back at school that he is close and constant. As she faces the situations that devastated her on that horrible day, she slowly learns to find her security, identity, and worth in God's love, instead of in uncertain and unsteady circumstances.When Madison's story, High School Hope, was released on the Sacred Story website, Madison shared it with her current friends. Conversations about the challenges of high school followed, and Madison found those friendships growing closer. Bonding between women often occurs when they share how difficult experiences have led to deeper faith. Schedule a Sacred Story Retreat for your women's group to experience the power of sharing stories.

In 2024, Sydney resident Nikhil Kulkarni describes it as a landmark year, defined by his strong involvement in cricket and community work. He strengthened his bond with his daughter through the nine-week Daughters and Dads Cricket Program, while also advancing Australia–India collaboration as part of the Australia India Youth Dialogue. His involvement with the Indian diaspora fueled his passion for using cricket to connect the two countries, inspiring him to debut with a book titled 'My Summer of Cricket.'

Tell us about your Adventure!This past summer, 25 out of 29 of my cousins on my Mother's side  gathered in the beautiful family resort of Bertelson Corner out side of Bemidji, Minnesota, for a reunion that will be etched in our memories forever. The sun shone brightly, and laughter filled the air, creating the perfect backdrop for 5 days of fun, games, and family bonding. The excitement was palpable as cousins arrived from nearby states and even farther locations, each bringing unique stories and experiences. It was heartwarming to reconnect, reminisce about childhood adventures, and share updates about our lives. This gathering served as a powerful reminder of the strong family ties that bind us together.

It's time for... grief! TNG's The Bonding has come up, which does mean we are talking A Lot about a dead mom. Sorry! We also talk about weird aliens and badly taking care of an orphan, so there's that.

Troy hosts a solo episode of Bonding, opening up about turning 30, relationship struggles, career setbacks, and the mental toll of a rough year and canceled shows. He dives into a heated politics rant about Charlie Kirk and Dan Crenshaw, shares candid stories about his Michael Jackson impersonations and past substance use, and runs through his favorite music picks. The episode ends with a listener Q&A, tour dates, and a preview of a new co-host joining soon.

On the podcast today, I have lovely Tayla, who shares with us her two caesarean births, both unexpected - and both very different. Tayla discusses how she had to adjust to plan B for both births, and what she learnt about herself as a result. She believes women are strong, and we can get through hard things. We also discuss bonding after birth and how the experience is different every time you have a baby. I really appreciated Tayla's openness to share with us her remarkable adjustments to the unexpected. A powerful story. Enjoy!

In this episode of The Pulling Curls Podcast, hosts Hilary Erickson and Dr. Janene Fuerch, a neonatologist at Stanford, dive into what every pregnant family should know about the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). They discuss why it's important to understand NICU basics—even if you're planning a smooth delivery—and share practical tips on how to cope if your baby needs extra care, including ways to stay connected, manage stress, and support bonding. The episode also highlights exciting innovations aimed at making NICU stays safer and more comfortable for babies and families, plus insights on hospital levels and advocacy for neonatal advancements.   Big thanks to our sponsor Laborie -- LifeBubble® Umbilical Catheter Securement System LifeBubble is made of a Soft Medical Grade Silicone to minimize skin irritation, Reduces the Risk of Catheter Migration and Early Discontinuation, and Protects the Insertion Site of our most vulnerable patients. Find them on Instagram @laborie_ob Today's guest is Janene Fuerch, MD. She is a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine, Associate Director of the Biodesign Innovation Fellowship Program at Stanford University, and Co-Director of Impact1 where she mentors and advises entrepreneurs in the pediatric and maternal space through all aspects of medical device development, from identifying clinical needs to commercialization. Her specific areas of investigational interest include the development and commercialization process of neonatal, pediatric and maternal health medical devices. She is a national leader in neonatal resuscitation, ECMO, device development and has been an AHRQ, FDA and NSF funded investigator. But her work extends outside of the academic realm to industry having co-founded EMME (acquired by Simple Health 2022) an award-winning reproductive health company, medical director for Novonate (acquired by Laborie 2023) a neonatal umbilical catheter securement company and notable consultant for Vitara (EXTEND - artificial environment to decrease complications of prematurity), Laborie, Ceribell, Novocuff and Avanos™.

The NICU can range from having just a couple of extra staff in the delivery room to having 15 people if a baby needs help, making the birth experience much more intense and involved. Planning ahead with your partner about who will go with the baby in case of separation can help make a stressful situation a little easier. About 10% of babies need some help breathing at birth, but most recover quickly; only a small percentage require NICU care beyond the basic interventions. NICUs are graded by levels (I-IV), and knowing what level your hospital offers can help families prepare—higher-level NICUs can treat more complex issues but aren't always necessary for uncomplicated births. If your hospital isn't a level III or IV, babies needing higher-level care may need to be transferred, which could mean temporary separation from parents; hospitals always work to reunite families as quickly as possible. NICU nurses are passionate, skilled, and deeply care about the babies and their families, creating a loving and safe environment even during stressful times. Parents can support their recovery and milk production by getting rest and using NICU technologies (like webcams) to stay connected—it's okay to take breaks and trust the NICU staff. Emerging technologies like Labry's Life Bubble are making NICU stays safer and more comfortable, allowing parents to hold their babies even when special catheters are in place. Skin-to-skin contact in the NICU is highly beneficial for both babies and parents, helping with bonding, milk production, and even neurodevelopment; parents are encouraged to ask staff about timing and any concerns about wires or tubes.

Send us a textYour postpartum clients aren't just "busy"—they're breaking down. Here's the truth your assessments are missing: The invisible mental load is a chronic state of cognitive overload that's hijacking her body. This isn't a failure of willpower; it's a physiological response to chronic stress that causes everything from unexplained anxiety and low milk supply to pelvic pain and insomnia. Maranda reveals how this unacknowledged cognitive burden triggers the HPA axis, shuts down nervous system regulation, and creates a cascade of physical symptoms. Every postpartum provider—from lactation consultants to functional health experts—must recognize this root cause. Stop treating the symptoms (the fatigue, the rage, the anxiety) and start addressing the overload. Learn the red flags and the Postpartum Restoration Method framework to deliver the lasting solutions your clients desperately need.Check out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-invisible-mental-load-why-mothers-are-breaking-down-ep-238/Key time stamps: 1:03 -  Defining The Invisible Mental Load & The Shocking Case of Low Milk Supply3:33 - The Physiology of Cognitive Overload: HPA Axis and Systemic Effects6:53 - Clinical Patterns Providers Miss: The Hyper-Vigilant Manager, Overwhelmed Perfectionist, and Depleted Default Parent9:37 - Pelvic Floor Tension & The Bonding "Disconnection"22:15 - The Red Flags and "Better Questions" for Assessment NEXT STEPS:

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My husband and I are in the process of adopting a waiting child internationally. This is our first adoption and we will soon be waiting to be matched with a child. I teach in higher education and my schedule is coordinated about nine months out. I am working with my supervisors to try and make sure my schedule for the next year is flexible to account for uncertain adoption timing. It has been so difficult to try and navigate this with my job, especially because my institution has very limited options for paid parental leave. I'm wondering if you have any insight into how to discuss a few of my questions with my employer:How to manage unpredictable adoption timelines that may require mid-semester leave on minimal notice,Explaining the necessity of time off work to bond with our new child, without the physical recovery needs that traditional birth includes, and That while teaching online is an option, balancing teaching online with international travel and a critical bonding period is very daunting. If you have any insight into how to discuss these topics with my employer, or any additional details I should be considering, I would love to hear your thoughts. I should say that my supervisors are very supportive and excited for my family, and they are open to creative solutions. These are just uncharted waters at my institution.

Join us on the MuppeTrek Podcast! On Fraggle Rock, we learn some mysterious Gorg lore in "Sir Hubris and the Gorgs." And Star Trek TNG episode, "The Bonding." Worf bonds with a boy on the Enterprise over being orphans while an alien shapeshifter tries to gaslight them.

Vicky Thinks that Worf will be bonding with a Klingon female but actually its way different then she thinks

Strong friendships increase survival rates by about 50%, making them as important for your health as diet, exercise, or quitting smoking Oxytocin, often called the bonding hormone, determines who you trust and how quickly you form lasting connections When oxytocin signaling is disrupted, friendships take longer to form, feel weaker, and lose their emotional reward Research in animals shows that friendship is an evolved survival strategy found across many species, not just humans You can strengthen your own friendships by focusing on fewer, deeper connections, sharing rewarding experiences, and maintaining consistent contact

many markers had disappeared, and the water had risen high.Sv: "Vi får improvisera", föreslog Johan med ett leende när Sofie tittade förskräckt på kaoset.En: "We'll have to improvise," suggested Johan with a smile when Sofie looked horrified at the chaos.Sv: "Kanske kan vi göra det till en teamwork-övning att bygga banan från grunden tillsammans?"En: "Maybe we can turn it into a teamwork exercise to build the course from scratch together?"Sv: Sofie tvekade.En: Sofie hesitated.Sv: Listan i hennes hand kändes plötsligt meningslös.En: The list in her hand suddenly felt meaningless.Sv: Men det fanns ingen tid att tveka, och innan hon visste ordet av det, höll hon på att planera nya stationer med kollegorna – även ledda av Johan.En: But there was no time to hesitate, and before she knew it, she was planning new stations with her colleagues—even led by Johan.Sv: De började samla stenar, grenar och allt som kunde användas för att markera rutten.En: They began gathering stones, branches, and anything that could be used to mark the route.Sv: Det dröjde inte länge innan de alla skrattade och samarbetade, mer än någonsin.En: It didn't take long before they were all laughing and collaborating, more than ever.Sv: Det var under en särskilt knepig passage nära strandkanten som Johan tog initiativet och instruerade gruppen hur de skulle övervinna en glänta av hala stenar.En: It was during a particularly tricky passage near the water's edge that Johan took the initiative and instructed the group on how to overcome a clearing of slippery stones.Sv: "Små steg, och lita på varandra", hann han ropa innan alla klarade sig igenom utan en skråma.En: "Small steps, and trust each other," he managed to shout before everyone made it through without a scratch.Sv: När dagen gick mot sitt slut och solen började dala vid horisonten, satt Sofie och Johan på verandan och såg hur laget de arbetat så hårt för att stärka, belönades av en fantastisk gemenskap.En: As the day drew to a close and the sun began to set on the horizon, Sofie and Johan sat on the porch and watched as the team they had worked so hard to strengthen was rewarded with an amazing sense of community.Sv: "Jag uppskattar hur du hjälpte till idag", erkände Sofie och såg på Johan.En: "I appreciate how you helped today," Sofie acknowledged, looking at Johan.Sv: "Jag lärde mig verkligen något om flexibilitet."En: "I really learned something about flexibility."Sv: "Vi har alla något att bidra med", svarade Johan.En: "We all have something to contribute," Johan replied.Sv: "Jag inser nu fördelarna med att ha en plan att utgå från."En: "I now realize the benefits of having a plan to start from."Sv: De log mot varandra, och vinden förde med sig löftena om framtida samarbeten som skulle bli ännu starkare tack vare den balans de nu förstått vikten av.En: They smiled at each other, and the wind carried with it promises of future collaborations that would be even stronger thanks to the balance they now understood the importance of.

  https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs/p/preparing-for-a-new-piglet                  In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn takes listeners on a thoughtful exploration of one of the most common yet most misunderstood piglet behaviors: rooting. We all know piglets root for food, for warmth, or just because it's instinct — but what if there's more happening beneath the surface? What if rooting is not just a survival behavior, but also a powerful tool for bonding, comfort, and brain development?          Autumn draws fascinating connections between piglets and human infants, showing how both species use rooting, nursing, and touch to regulate emotions, build trust, and shape healthy brain chemistry. From dopamine and oxytocin — the “feel-good” chemicals of bonding — to the way gentle handling, warmth, and predictability can impact a piglet's lifelong behavior, this episode sheds light on the deeper meaning behind those tiny snouts pushing into blankets, littermates, or even your lap.          Listeners will also hear why piglets who are pulled from their mothers too early sometimes grow up a little “off” — more anxious, more demanding, or more unsettled — and how this may be linked to missing out on the natural cycle of comfort and reward that rooting provides. Autumn discusses the importance of understanding rooting not as a “bad habit,” but as a window into a piglet's emotional world, much like a human baby's cry for closeness or the comfort they find in a pacifier.         This episode is a blend of science, observation, and heart — part educational deep dive, part reflection on the universal needs we all share for safety, love, and connection. Whether you're raising a piglet, preparing to bring one home, or simply curious about the hidden science of behavior, this conversation will give you a fresh appreciation for how much is happening in those early days of a pig's life.   Autumn's Links:  Website: https://www.autumnacresminipetpigs.com/ Email: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs Educational Membership Group: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs/p/autumn-acres-educational-membership-group Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/autumnacresminipetpigs/ Facebook:  HTTP://Facebook.com/autumnacresminipetpigs Free Community: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs/p/autumn-acres-free-community YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCGue5Kp5AwOXkReCGPUyImA Stan Store: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs Newsletter: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigsb

In this episode, we talk about how God is at work in our lives even when sorrow feels overwhelming. This Jubilee year of hope is still a light for us, especially when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tempted to despair. We talk about the “fatigue of living”, what happens when we isolate ourselves, and why the micromovements of our hearts are so important. God has not guaranteed us an easy life, but He abundantly offers us Himself. With Him, we can encounter Jesus deeply, allow the Spirit to help us overcome our fears, and journey through this life with more hope than we thought possible.   Heather's One Thing - Join me on a pilgrimage to Denmark & Norway | August 3 - 12, 2026   Sister Miriam's One Thing - Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us by Father Wilfrid Stinissen Michelle's One Thing - I Will Come to You: A Story of Adoption and the Relentless Love of God by Jamie McAleer   Other Resources Mentioned:  Pope Leo XIV's Homily for Pentecost   Journal Questions: When did I last pour my heart out to the Lord? How have I been tempted to isolate myself? What distractions do I turn to in suffering? What heartbreaks have I been holding back from the Lord in prayer? Where am I feeling afraid?   Discussion Questions: Where in your life are you struggling to see the Lord? How has the Lord given you daily bread today? What lessons have you learned throughout the Jubilee Year of Hope? Where in your life are you waiting for a personal Pentecost? What resonated with you in Sister Miriam's prayer?   Quote to Ponder: “The Holy Spirit bestows understanding. The Spirit overcomes the ‘breach' that began in Babel, the confusion of mind and heart that sets us one against the other. The Spirit opens borders... The Church must always become anew what she already is. She must open the borders between peoples and break down the barriers between class and race. In her, there cannot be those who are neglected or disdained. In the Church there are only free men and women, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.” (Homily for Pentecost, 15 May 2005, Pope Benedict XVI)   Scripture for Lectio: “Daughter, your faith has saved you.

Billy, founder of Intuition Systems (ex–VC/early crypto), digs into the biggest risk in AI: models trained on garbage, regurgitated data and algorithm-shaped behavior.
