Previously available only to our Patreon supporters, this special episode of So I Married a Relationship Expert is now being released to the full Marriage Therapy Radio audience. In this candid and heartfelt conversation, Zach interviews his longtime co-host, Laura Heck, and her husband, Ryan Heck, to explore what it's really like to be married to a relationship expert. You'll hear honest reflections, unexpected challenges, and plenty of humor as they open up about the reality behind the podcast mic. Laura and Ryan talk about how therapy shaped (and sometimes complicated) their dynamic, what they've learned about conflict and connection over the years, and how their relationship continues to grow. It's real, it's vulnerable, and it's full of insights that any couple, expert or not, can relate to. This is real life, not a therapy room: Laura explains how her skills as a therapist don't always transfer cleanly into her marriage. Conflict isn't failure: Ryan shares how he used to fear that fighting meant something was wrong, and how he's redefined that belief. Growth takes time (and patience): Both Laura and Ryan open up about how emotional literacy didn't come naturally, and still requires practice. Connection over perfection: A recurring theme in the conversation is letting go of being right or perfectly understood, and focusing instead on meaningful connection.

Gather round, friends, because we've got a real treat for you today! We had the pleasure of chatting with two incredible authors who are using their books to spread messages of love, acceptance, and the power of the arts.  First up, we met Laura Meredith, the author of the delightful children's book "Christopher's New Home." Laura shared the heartwarming story of how she adopted a tiny, sickly lamb named Christopher and gave him a loving forever home on her little farm in Scotland. With her passion for animals and her own experiences of feeling like an outsider, Laura wove an uplifting tale about finding your place in the world.  We learned that Laura's home is a veritable Noah's Ark, filled with all sorts of rescued critters - from sheep and goats to a mini Pomeranian and even a pig! She has a real gift for seeing the beauty in every creature and helping them feel safe and loved. Laura's message of acceptance and the transformative power of love really resonated with us. Next, we chatted with Bruce Weinberg, the author of "The Fabulous Feats of Mister B" series. As a former drama teacher, Bruce is a huge advocate for the arts in education. He shared how drama classes can be a haven for kids to express themselves, build confidence, and find their tribe. Bruce's latest book, "Jarobi from Nairobi," tackles themes of diversity and inclusion in a heartwarming way. Both Laura and Bruce are using their talents to create stories that inspire kindness, empathy, and a deeper appreciation for the world around us.

Larger encompasses a variety of body types: taller than average, more muscle, or higher body mass. Both Laura and Amanda are taller than the average female runner and have worked with runners of a wide range of body sizes. However, we've noticed that a lot of the online advice that focuses mostly on how to start running if you have a larger body - but what about if you are a seasoned runner who is taller, more muscular, or heavier?  Discussion points include: What are the Athena and Clydesdale categories? Do you need to lose weight to start running?  Understanding “metabolically healthy” How does running in a larger body increase your injury risk? Do larger runners need more fuel during long runs/races?

Laura invites Melissa McCall of Moving Little Minds to chat about early literacy, play, and explicit instruction. Both Laura and Melissa have experience in preschool classrooms where there are curricula that must be implemented to explicitly teach early literacy skills like phonological awareness. Together they discuss how to embrace a play-based approach, while also recognizing that some skills have to be directly taught by adults. Highlights: Components of Early Literacy: Melissa discusses the six components of early literacy and shares about which are really important to be taught explicitly. Multi-sensory Activities: Laura and Melissa give some ideas on ways to incorporate explicit instruction into playful activities. They share about how there is a polarizing idea that someone cannot be play based and also have teacher led learning.

Getting your first shot working within this industry shouldn't come down to luck or privilege. Take it from Tara, who got her dream internship based on what she refers to as a fluke. Tara says “this needs to change…we need to make those pathways for junior talent much clearer.” Tara McKenty and Laura Florence are both leaders in their field and while sitting down with host Merlee Jayme, they said they feel they have a responsibility to create change and provide more opportunities for people coming into the industry and those already in it.  Tara, Laura and Jayme are passionate about giving back and discuss the initiatives they founded to provide more opportunities for training underrepresented talent, retaining underrepresented talent and helping them grow into leadership positions. These include More Girls, Google Rare and The Misfits Camp. This year, Tara judged on the 2023 LIA Digital and Use of Social Media & Influencers Jury and Laura sat on the Pharma & Medical jury.  Laura said that a lot of the work had a focus on health literacy and sharing information to ensure patients get a better outcome.Tara's focus was on content creation and says that influencers who are native users of platforms like TikTok know how to design creative for the platform far more easily than people who are coming from more traditional film backgrounds. Both Laura and Tara leave the following message: For those who are privileged, be a transformer, not someone who is learning about diversity; you have the power to do something.” Show Notes  MORE Girls: https://dare.havas.com/news-archive/the-time-is-now/The misfits camp: https://themisfitscamp.com/ Guests: Tara McKenty, Chief Innovation Officer and Co-Executive Creative Director at BMF, Sydney Laura Florence, Executive Creative Director, Havas Health & You, São Paulo  Host: Merlee Jayme, Chairmom / Founder at The Misfits Camp, Makati City Producer: Sarah Knights, Eardrum  Music: Brian Yessian, Yessian Music Manager: Laurissa Levy, London International Awards Production Company: Eardrum

Both Laura and Lenny think Trump's name should not be taken off the ballot, it should be left up to the voters. They also hit on Haley blowing the slavery question.

While this interview episode focuses on hope – and how Laura V. is healing from severe trauma more quickly and easily than she had thought possible – it does contain graphic descriptions that may upset some listeners. This episode is definitely not suitable for children, so please don't listen if you're under eighteen. Even if you're an adult, if the thought of a five-year-old girl being pulled into a sex trafficking operation, then experiencing extreme abuse for more than eight years, is too much for you to bear, please stop right here.  Laura V, one of my healing clients, gives frank descriptions of her ten years as a victim of incest and sex trafficking. Her father, one of many men who abused her, sold her into sexual slavery when she was a young girl.  This 80-minute episode includes details of how she and many other children experienced severe abuse, which some did not survive. She also describes how Dissociative Identity Disorder has helped her cope with these traumatic experiences.  Laura discusses her experiences in the context of how she's healing from these traumas using quick and effective modalities, especially Internal Family Systems Therapy and my Instant Divine Assistance Invocations.  Both Laura and I have been amazed at how rapidly she's been healing during the sessions I've been facilitating for her. Our intention with this episode is to show you that, no matter how severe the trauma you've experienced, quick and effective healing might be possible.  After our interview, I'll give you a brief overview of child sex trafficking. This will help you put Laura's experience into a larger context. I've included links to Laura's recommended books and support resources for childhood sexual abuse and Dissociative Identity Disorder below. Laura offers these key takeaways from her interview: 1. No matter how long ago or how recent the abuse, no matter how minor or severe the abuse, healing is possible. 2. Healing doesn't have to be grueling, exhausting or hard. It can be quick, effortless, and uplifting! 3. With the Instant Divine Assistance Invocations and Internal Family Systems Therapy, you can confront, process and completely heal difficult and even terrifying trauma memories. And you can do it safely and quickly. Experience had taught me that facing the terrors I experienced would put me in crisis.  With Benjamin's skilled help, I faced those terrors and found compassion for my abusers and myself. After I transmuted those painful, burdensome memories, I found peace and joy on the other side. I did not have to recover from these sessions for even a few minutes! 4. There is hope. It is possible to find freedom, joy, and a future that is good. Your Higher Self, or God, is guiding you to that future every step of the way! If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking, you can get help at humantraffickinghotline.org/, or by calling 1-888-373-7888. ******************** Laura highly recommends these resources on childhood sexual abuse and Dissociative Identity Disorder: Discussing Dissociation site by Kathy Broady, MSW.

Child Rescue Coalition.

Laura and Benjamin just bring the possibilities to a whole new level in this interview. Benjamin is a genius at knowing what to bring to light and Laura is extraordinary as a being of light! These are two experts with big hearts. The interview was not upsetting to me in any way, it was a demonstration of how IFS works and not a scary interview just on child trafficking. The warning at the beginning is appropriate because some individuals may be triggered by any mention of such a horrendous crime. Do be aware that you can stop listening at any point if you do begin listening to the interview and want to stop, of course.      -- @jeannieszaboky4204 Benjamin's Usual Resources Check out Benjamin's #1 Amazon bestseller: Instant Divine Assistance: Your Complete Guide to Fast and Easy Spiritual Awakening, Healing, and More.  Available as an audiobook narrated by Benjamin.

Dr. Laura welcomes guests Laura Cohen, counsellor and founder of her own nature therapy practice, and Philip Vanhoutte, ITC industry professional and author of “The Smarter Working Manifesto”, to the show to talk about the power of Vitamin N, nature. Both Laura and Philip are champions of the benefits of a connection with nature at work and in life.Laura Cohen, who works with Dr. Laura through Canada Career Counselling, details studies that show people to be happiest in coastal environments and outdoors. She also cites the profound benefits of nature for those living with ADHD. Philip Vanhoutte is a proponent of Biophilic Design, which includes identifying fourteen patterns of nature that would ideally be included in a building to directly impact the wellness of individuals within. The ways in which nature improves our work lives and overall health are compelling and it becomes apparent that we need to set ourselves up to maximize our interactions with nature. Laura and Philip share their individual expertise on the transformative power of nature and how they each advise incorporating more of the outdoors into our daily lives. “There's also this idea that I think a lot of the time we see nature as this thing that's separate from us or that it's a commodity to fulfill us and make us feel good… it reduces our stress hormones and we see it as something that's beneficial. But the next level is kind of understanding the reciprocity and how do I give back to nature, and developing that sort of deeper relationship with nature.” Laura CohenAbout Laura Cohen:Originally from Montreal, Laura is now based in Halifax with a 10 minute walk to the ocean. For the last 6 years, Laura has worked as a counsellor in universities, Employee Assistance Programs, and in private practice, including her own nature therapy practice and Canada Career Counselling.  Laura holds a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology from McGill University and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a minor in Psychology from Concordia University.

She is also an intuitive, creative, and finds herself exploring the intersection of psychospiritual concepts and western psychology in her work as a nature therapist  guiding her clients through the lens of transpersonal psychology, polyvagal theory, creative arts, and other modalities like Acceptance & commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems.   About Philip Vanhoutte:Leveraging a rewarding international career in the ITC industry, Philip Vanhoutte's passion for personal productivity tools and communication & collaboration solutions morphed into a singular purpose: accelerating the realization of human potential.Philip champions the adoption of Smarter Working: a holistic human centred work design practice that unifies space, technology, and people disciplines. He co-authored The Smarter Working Manifesto, a definitive guide on how to shape the best work style. In his quest for health and joy at work he learned that Nature Deficit Disorder has produced highest ever burnouts, work induced sickness, and a struggling workforce. He campaigned for more nature at work with Ozadi at SXSW in Austin and GCUC in Denver.Philip graduated from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium with a combined Applied Economics and Engineering degree and a major in Marketing.

Cinematographer Laura Merians Gonçalves was extremely intrigued to work on the new Prime Video series, Dead Ringers. The show is based on the 1988 David Cronenberg movie, which starred Jeremy Irons as twin gynecologists. When she read the script for the series, Laura thought changing the genders of the twins to female gave the show more interest. She liked that over six episodes, they could explore a deeper, more complicated story about women. Laura shot the bulk of the series, episodes three, four, five and six. Both Laura and DP Jody Lee Lipes, who shot episodes one and two, worked closely together to share ideas and find the look of the show. There is a restraint to the color palette, with the exception of red as a theme- just as in the movie. They used red scrubs and even red latex gloves in the operating rooms. The style of the show is very stark and elegant, making it easier to cleanly insert the twinning shots. The biggest challenge for Dead Ringers was ensuring that the twinning for actor Rachel Weisz was seamless and convincing. Jody had previous experience shooting twin shots with VFX supervisor Eric Pascarelli on the HBO series I Know This Much Is True. For Dead Ringers, the twinning shots were done with the assistance of an old motion control camera system that actually used floppy disk drives. Anything involving twinning was discussed in advance and carefully planned and blocked. A body double, Kitty Hawthorne, was also essential for the twinning effect to work. Rachel would do rehearsals and then takes for side A, with Kitty miming the other twin. Then they would switch and do side B, with Kitty now mimicking the A side twin. The motion control camera exactly synched the camera so that the scene could be composited seamlessly together in post. Laura found that with the real-time movie magic they were able to create, it was easy to forget that actor Rachel Weisz was actually just one person. She is a huge fan of motion control and doing things technically in camera, rather than relying on special effects in post. The actor can be invested in their performance as their character and they don't have to have a face replacement or deep fake special effect. Dead Ringers is currently streaming on Prime Video.

Laura has since worked in Hong Kong, Australia and in the new year she will be moving to Canada. Mel has since worked in Beijing and Dusseldorf in Germany. We will be diving into the highs and lows of having a career in fashion abroad and providing you with an idea of what the process looks like from visas to relocation packages. With so much experience of starting a life overseas between the 3 of us, I can't wait for you to listen to our conversation, so sit back and enjoy as we get into our chat..

This podcast had be shopifying from the first cha-ching! Laura Campbell joins me today to chat all things switching her sitch from a corporate creative to creating an e-commerce product, Hackerlily and launching online. Laura and I were introduced through the Mums & Co. Community as 2 business owners solving potentially hazardous problems in the child safety space (her with Hackerlily and myself with Buckle Bandage). Laura and I share the journey of creating a product from scratch, with no previous product design or manufacturing experience. We chew the logistics on what can right and what can go wrong with materials and supply. We also discuss the beauty of having no commercial rental space and launching purely online. Both Laura and I have completely bootstrapped our products ourselves with no external funding and not having to mortgage our family homes! This is a must listen for anyone who is thinking of, or is in the midst of growing an e-commerce business. This is especially important for those who want to self fund and minimise financial risk.

To download the transcript CLICK HERE This is part 2 with Dr Laura Catena and we are going deeper into what makes great wines: Terroir. And this takes us to THE ADRIANNA VINEYARD: the vineyard, situated in the Gualtallary sub-region of the Tupungato region (which in itself is part of the Uco Valley) lies at almost 5,000 feet in elevation. This is considered to be the most studied vineyard in the world, and their discoveries are fascinating. Both Laura and her father Nicolas have moved the bar for Malbec and premium winemaking in Argentina and so this episode Laura tells us more stories of what is was like working with her father, how he ‘cheated' her into the world of wine, how they have pushed the boundaries and you will of course learn about some of the most exciting wines coming out of this very special vineyard. If you want to skip ahead: 1.30: A look at the different temperatures of the sub regions of Mendoza 3.11: The Vision of Nicolas Catena, Decanter Person of the Year – and how this changed things for Argentine wine 8.25: Founding the Catena Institute of Wine and what Laura has done to understand terroir and Malbec 13.58: Adrianna Vineyard – the grand cru site of South America 23.20: Fortuna Terrae Malbec 2019 £96 Vinissimus /  Jeroboams is doing 2019 in bond 30.31: River Malbec 2019 £129 Lay and Wheeler / Jeroboams is doing 2019 in bond 33.06: Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2019 £196 Vinissimus / Cru worldwide, Berry Bros and Rudd are doing 2019 in bond 36.10: The difference soils can offer to Chardonnay in Adrianna Vineyard White bones and White Stones Chardonnay 2020 Both £88 Vinissimus 41.01: Laura and Alejandro's new book: Malbec Mon Amour 46.06: Wine and music 47.13: DV Catena Cabernet Franc 2019 £10 Tesco And if the podcast isn't enough....

As a business owner, do you take the time to evaluate who you are surrounding yourself with? If you haven't thought about this question recently, you should! Both Laura and I are motivated, optimistic, and realistic which is important to us as partners, business owners, colleagues, and friends who can constantly match each other and push each other to be our absolute best. Who you choose to spend your time with and who you choose to be surrounded with makes a HUGE difference and can either make or break your energy. REMEMBER: The people that you are spending the most time with, are going to be the people that influence you the most.

Welcome to a new series, “Treasures in the Desert”, in the month of May! Both Laura and Debbie have spent time in deserts: Debbie visited Palm Desert in California and Laura visited Dubai, a city in the United Arab Emirates. There is a powerful parallel to be shared as we focus on Isaiah 58:11 and how each believer has the same reservoir of rivers of living water available to them. The question that needs to be asked is “why then do some believers live like they are dried up and lacking life while others are thriving?

Think back 5 or 10 years, did you know what your life would look like then? Could you imagine who you would be working with, or the projects you have completed? What about where you live? As a high achieving woman, you will have done your utmost to succeed in every situation you faced. You will have studied what worked for others, you will have practised your pitches, you'll have made sure you were walking into the right rooms. But you can't control every variable and I bet there have been some surprises along the way.  Perhaps there was that contract that appeared out of nowhere. And then there was the time you found yourself in a conversation you never expected, which led to something else amazing. One of the biggest lessons I have learned in the last year is about the power of radical detachment and I learned it from Laura Wright and Amber Annette. They are the Sould Sisters, and they're my guests on the podcast this week. Laura and Amber work with the conscious, ambitious business owner who is actively taking her 6-figure service-based empire to 7 figures (and beyond)... and is here to live a freakin' incredible life while doing it. Both Laura and Amber have been on the show before but separately, Laura in Episode 38 and Amber in Episode 78, so you'll recognise their voices.  We talk about: Knowing what you want but not being stuck on how that's going to come about Showing up in different ways and how that takes the pressure off yourself Documenting your desires and energy through journaling Curiosity and being open to possibilities Aligning yourself to your energy in different phases of the month   Useful links Find out more about Laura and Amber on their website Business Magic with the Elements Masterclass Follow them on Instagram or join the Facebook community Listen to Episode 78: Running Your Business In Line With Your Energy, with Amber Annette Listen to Episode 38: Speeding Up Your Sales Cycle, with Laura Wright Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Jessica's LinkedIn profile

This week Laura Beddoe is joined with guest Lesley Moule and we discuss her story around her growing up with a Christian family and her Grandmother teaching her tools of manifestation and paganism. How she developed a rare allergy-related illness, allergic to most things called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome  after the trauma of her Dad passing away. The doctors told her she would be on medication for the rest of her life. She decided to research natural remedies and healing of the mind, body, and spirit and managed to heal her symptoms herself which lead her to get her certifications to help others with overcoming trauma and negative patterns much like host Laura Beddoe's story of overcoming trauma, co-dependency, PTSD and addiction. Both Laura and Lesley channel and co-create with energy to live a life in the vibration of 5D which is explained in this episode. These light seeds are here to help the awakening and help support people with living from the heart space, become attuned to work with guides and angels, and keep grounded and centered for the process.

Who is Westwind Orchard and their cider Fabio Chizzola & Laura Ferrara are the owners/farmers of Westwind Orchard located in Accord, New York on the west dies of the Hudson River. The orchard was bought in 2002 and was as Fabio described it "abandoned". Over time her pruned and replanted and open the area for Pick Your Own in 2008.  In addition to offering the apples, pizza was being made and sold. In time Fabio noticed that many of teh patrons were bringing their own wine, beer and perhaps cider to drink with the food. That was an a-ha moment, when he realized that they could do more than just offer apples to take home but instead ferment the select crop into cider! Both Laura and Fabio are of Italian descendent with Fabio growing up in Rome, which leads to an obvious statement that rings true. "I'm Italian I know food.…I know how food should taste.” Today the orchard has 70-80 varieties of apples and  the Pick Your Own option is no longer available with all the apples going into the production of Westwind Orchard's Cider. Say Fabio, "We are using every single spot in the orchard for apples trees." Fabio Chizzola What to expect at Westwind Orchard Cider is poured by the glass and bottles are available for purchase. There is a restaurant with pasta offerings and wood fired pizza The main seating is all outdoors on picnic benches and even open in the winter (there is some heating but dress warmly). The Ciders of Westwind All ciders are fermented to a dry profile There are single varietal ciders available and also blends Barrel aged ciders Occasional ciders made with unsprayed apples and wild yeast Cultured yeast are used because Fabio doesn't use sulfites Contact for Westwind Orchard Website: https://www.westwindorchard.com/ Address: 215 LOWER WHITFIELD ROAD ACCORD, NY 12404 Mentions in this Chat Mentions in this Chat Northwest Cider Club - The final special cider box for the end of the year features Montana, Idaho ciders in the Discover Box and Elevated Box 281: Cider Fueled Road Trip to NY and PA Help Support Cider Chat Please donate today.

Doug Pagitt is joined by filmmaker and activist Laura Peniche and Nanci Palacios of Faith in Florida to talk about the Fasting For Freedom initiative. Both Laura and Nanci are DACA recipients and are leading the effort to make DACA permanent and provide a pathway to citizenship.   Faith leaders and directly impacted immigrants are holding the #WeAreEssential Fast for Freedom to shine a spotlight on our nation's moral obligation to fully and finally include our immigrant siblings as part of the American family.  Several dozen fasters are gathering in stages for at least 3 weeks to encourage Congress to utilize the jobs and infrastructure package and budget reconciliation to codify a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented community members – many of whom have kept our families and our economy functioning as essential workers during the pandemic. faithinaction.org/fastforfreedom   Originally from Puebla, Mexico, Laura Peniche is an undocumented storyteller, based in Colorado. Her documentary film debut: “No One Shall Be Called Illegal” showcased at the Denver International Starz Film Festival(2011); and she was a key producer in the documentary film: “Five Dreamers”(2018) which has continuously aired on Rocky Mountain and National PBS since its release.  Laura has worked as project manager for Motus Theater's UndocuAmerica Project, and actively shared her own immigrant experience on local and national stages as a Motus Theater UndocuAmerica Monologist. Since 2016, she has also been a leader with Together Colorado's immigration committee, doing grassroots organizing with multi-faith leaders.

In the first episode of the Female Changemakers Podcast, Laura and Sanna talk through the effects of birth trauma, miscarriage and gaining control that led Laura to create Lola&Lykke, a support platform for mums. When Laura´s first baby was born, she experienced severe complications that were nearly fatal due to her not getting the care she urgently needed. Laura considers herself lucky for having fully recovered from the experience with a healthy baby – although as the women agree, living or dying at birth should not be about luck. During her second pregnancy, Laura was not as lucky, and she ended up losing her baby at nearly four months pregnant. The women discuss the importance of being prepared and being in control of your birth experience. There is a lot of influence from the social media expectations of wanting a drug-free, water birth with no emergency caesarean, but it doesn't go to plan for so many of us. When things do not go to plan, this can easily lead to the loss of power and control. Women are in a very vulnerable position physically and emotionally at birth, and a sense of being in control can make a huge difference to the experience of birth, as Laura explains about her third pregnancy. Women are often made to feel that their experience does not matter, all that matters is a healthy baby. Both Laura and Sanna agree that we need to work towards improving women´s experiences at birth and during postpartum: simply surviving birth is not a good enough outcome for mums. There is a need to start supporting mums as much as we support babies, and to create change we need to get our collective voices heard.

This week: Both Laura and Backstage Ben celebrated their birthday's so we unpacked that, ended up talking about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, plus "Question Master" and weekly show highlights.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to two of SYKE's brightest sparks, Laura and Becca. Both of whom started out as junior engineers, but since joining the company have had the opportunity to work on some high profile projects.They tell me what it is like being given responsibility, access to customers, and the trust to try things out and learn by making mistakes.Becca joined from the University of Manchester where she studied law and politics, having flipped a coin.Both Laura and Becca have had the courage to say yes, whenever an opportunity to learn has presented itself, and would encourage others in their old shoes at Uni or studying A levels to do the same.As an old fogie it's inspiring to hear their stories.

Welcome to Friends Fit Forties Episode 4, nutrition (fun sound effect here??).   We talk about food  in this episode- so grab a snack and listen away.  Stephanie has an educational background in nutrition, so we began the podcast discussing the expanse of nutrition research and the need to evolve as we learn new things.  We gave a shout out to eatright.org as foundation for dietary guidelines, and we honor that each person has different nutritional needs. We also discuss Biceps After Babies podcast hosted by Amber Brueezeke and the My Fitness Pal app as two additional resources.  Both Laura and Stephanie have followed different nutritional plans.  Laura counts macros while Stephanie follows an intermittent fasting plan.  Both of us have found success with our varied nutritional focuses.  We point to an article by Alexandria Sifferlin titled Why Your Diet isn't Working as an explanation for different dietary needs. Finally, we discussed the way nutrition leads to overall energy.  Our holiday diets helped us realize how a healthier diet helps with focus, energy, and overall positive outlook.

Hosted by António Vieira Santos, Debra Ruh and Neil Milliken.The Ramble Tag was invented and designed by two friends and neighbours – Laura 39yrs and Tom 65 yrs, Tom himself is blind.Both Laura and Tom have creative backgrounds and a love for dogs.Tom and LauraTom lost his sight gradually over a period of 20 years through Type 1 diabetes, so Laura would help walk him walk his dog when needed, acting as his guide when his partner wasn't around.  They soon became great friends, shared laughs, ideas and inspired each other to go into business after their best spark of an idea, a loop on the arm to give more space and to be more secure… (their dogs pulling them apart gave them the idea)A year from start-up, which was Kickstarted (crowdfunded), the Ramble Tag became a finalist in the RNIB Innovation of the Year awards 2019 and is also being sold by the RNIB shop.  It was snapped up by Glasgow airport promptly and then other UK airports followed.They soon recognized its potential as more than just a daily guiding tool to be used with a friend, it could be used by various assistance staff while respecting physical boundaries, alleviate repetitive strain, improve comfort, give more independence to the likes of teenagers with their parents and many other practicalities.They daydream the day that the Ramble Tag is as known as well as the white cane.  It's another option, a choice, and choice equals inclusion.#axschat Twitter Chat - March 3rd9 pm Berlin8 pm London3 pm NYC

Pornography is often talked about as this abstract alien “thing” that has no connection to the real-world experience of any “decent” or “good” person. The thinking goes that since pornography is this anti-feminist and morally damaging abstraction, it must originate from a dark place consumed with hate and misogyny. But what if I told you that, in fact, there’s a whole spectrum of pornography dedicated to paying homage to the most cherished children’s stories and beloved horror classics like Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1965), The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr, Hyde (1886), and Dracula (1897)? And how would your opinions of pornographers change if you knew that they loved these books as much as you do? Well, that’s part of the story being told by professor Laura Helen Marks in her book: Alice in Pornoland: Hardcore Encounters with the Victorian Gothic. Unsurprisingly, Laura’s academic background is in English, and this book is a product of her attempt to unite Victorian era gender and sexual politics with contemporary pornographic narratives. While many people don’t consider pornographic narratives too deeply, Laura argues that many pornographic tropes that we are familiar with today, including notions around a loss of innocence, the bisexual erotic undercurrents of Dracula biting both men and women, and the dual personality traits of pornography viewers themselves, originate from Victorian literature. While we often think of pornography as a medium indulging shamelessly in all types of sexual practices, pornography still needs to establish some type of taboo within their narratives for one of their characters to subversively upend sexual norms. Incorporating conventions from Victorian literature within these pornographic narratives provides both the cultural norms—and characters willing to subvert those norms—all within one book! Additionally, the obvious tension within Victorian novels where sexuality is alluded to with metaphor, is finally liberated within pornographic narratives where the underlining sexuality of these books are realized within pornography. Laura’s creative approach to pornography studies has quickly made her one of the most essential voices in contemporary pornography studies. Alice in Pornoland is one of the most unique pornography studies books you’ll ever read because of the ways it makes you rethink both classical literature and pornography itself. This is a special episode of the Porno Cultures Podcast because it’s our first live episode recorded at Babeland (ironically, another Victorian era reference!) in Seattle Washington. Both Laura and I were in Seattle for the annual Society for Film and Media Studies conference, and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to have a live episode where a bunch of pornography scholars could come together to not only celebrate Laura’s amazing book, but also honor the history of one of the country’s most important sex shops, Babeland!  Laura Helen Marks’ website  Laura’s twitter  “#Following: Laura Helen Marks”  Laura’s Porn Studies article from Feminist Media Histories  Laura’s Rialto Report feature on Jeff Stryker  “Merry XXX-mas: A Brief History of Yuletide Smut”  “The Duce: Porn, Nostalgia and Late Capitalism”  Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Comedy & Fantasy (1976)  “Alice in Wonderland (1976): What Really Happened?”  buy or rent Dracula Erotica (1980)  Rare photos from Dracula Exotica found by the Rialto Report.  Shaun Costello’s open letter To Lauran Helen Marks about Dracula Exotica.  Interview with Vanessa Del Rio  Dr. Jerkoff and Mr. Hard (1997)  “Still Alice Director: Escaping a Religious Cult, Making Porn and Celebrating Julianne Moore’s Oscar”  buy Fuckenstein (2012)  adultdvdtalk.com  upcoming events at Babeland in Seattle   facebook.com/AcademicSex @PornoCultures Help Support the Podcast!

Sarah has a virtual sit-down with the two women behind the Best of Both Worlds Podcast, Laura Vanderkam and Sarah Hart-Unger, M.D. Both Laura and “SHU” are mother runners, and the trio was delighted this special episode was a suggestion from a listener of both pods. The BBW duo turn the tables, getting SBS to answer questions about the start of AMR and her own running-and-racing background. The Sarahs conceive a brilliant plan for SHU’s first post-baby marathon. Laura and SBS bond over exercise streaks, and Laura details her the intriguing inspiration of her 600+-day running streak. The trio debate the beautiful necessity of morning workouts, then they offer opinions and advice on balancing parental work-related screentime around offspring. In the intro, Sarah gets her BRF, Molly Williams, to tell the tale about her attempt to hike around Mt. Rainier. (Spoiler alert: Molly’s current theme song is “Lonesome Loser.” Just try to get rid of that earworm!) The crossover portion of pod starts at 17:40.

Many of you have asked "What is coercive control and what is the new law in England and Wales that Laura spearheaded and Evan was an adviser on?" Both Laura and Evan were in the UK at the same time, speaking at the same conference on coercive control. They sat down in a dressing room to discuss it. New to Real Crime Profile?

Laura Rosecrans “Sixty-five percent of the women who will have an abortion this week were in church yesterday. Evangelical and Catholic women will pay Planned Parenthood $100 million this year for abortions.” Both Laura and Lynnette shared their moving testimony on having gone through an abortion and abuse. If you would like them to speak at your Church, just email me and I will hook you up with these strong women of God! The Reserve Community showed up yesterday! I was thinking before I went to bed that Catron County has got to be one of the strongest Christian Counties in New Mexico! If we took a ranking of the top Christian Counties in New Mexico…where would your County stand? Please visit Catron County soon, beautiful people of God, beautiful scenery! God’s Country! The Counties website has this slogan on it, “The Best Kept Secret in New Mexico” I am always sadden by the number of people IN NEW MEXICO who do not know where Reserve is located! I will never forget…about 5 or 6 years ago, after I preached at a Church in Albuquerque a man came up to me and said, “I liked most of your sermon, but why did you preach so much on abortion?” So many Christians do not want to face the facts that we continue to kill God’s babies! We, the people of God, must stand in the gap for God! We must not be silent!

Laura Bennett, Elizabeth Shassere and Johnny Pawlik returned to the radio studio.Elizabeth and Laura recently traveled to Gaza and mentored entrepreneurs at a bootcamp for the Gaza Sky Geeks programme. They were two of only seven mentors selected from all over the world – and gave their expertise as volunteers.We discussed the specific challenges that entrepreneurs face in Gaza; how Laura and Elizabeth were able to support participants; and how previous programmes have enabled startups to secure investment. The bootcamp's inclusive approach was praised too, with Elizabeth and Laura noting how it puts many tech events to shame.Both Laura and Elizabeth hauled luggage to Gaza containing useful items: including many and varied pieces of technology, and 35 copies of Rob Fitzpatrick's book, The Mom Test, which Laura describes as invaluable to startups. Have a listen to learn why.Also on the programme: Johnny Pawlik of Mantra Media. Operating in Sheffield, London and now Japan, Johnny explained how the business is growing and winning new clients, internationally – he's just returned from Kyoto – and in the UK. Make sure you listen to his comments about empathy in business and observations about doing business in Japan.Timings:0 - 7:30 introduction and updates.7:30 - 32:25 Laura Bennett and Elizabeth Shassere.32:25 - 46:15 Johnny Pawlik.46:15 - 48:42 wrapping up and some forthcoming events.

A little about our guests. Alex & Laura have been together for 6 years and started in business together right away. Alex fell madly in love when he saw how well Laura could prep a window. At age 8 Alex started a paper route, so he started being an entrepreneur very young. Alex served in the Air Force and was a survival instructor. He and Laura hope to create another business teaching survival training classes like those you see on Bear Grylls.  Laura met Alex in 2009 on a blind date. She started working with him soon after. She became more involved with the business. She has a Bachelor’s in Organizational Management. Before meeting Alex, Laura had several businesses in construction clean-up, house-cleaning and elder care. They have a son, Gunner, age 13. He is already being trained in the business.  A little about their business. Both Laura and Alex work on the installation of the window films. Laura also takes care of the back-office including all finances while Alex does all the bidding, estimates and sales. Laura is dipping her toe into the sales arena. They are also creating a civilian survival school based on shows like Naked and Afraid and Bear Gryllis. Look for a future announcement, especially if you enjoy hiking, back-country skiing, or camping. One piece of advice (the nutshell version) Laura: Choose wisely. If you are not a good mate in marriage. If you are not good mates, you won’t make good business partners. Alex: Eat, sleep, and breath your business. If you don’t live your business, you won’t be successful. You must be 100% committed to the business.

Laura Bates, journalist and curator of the Everyday Sexism Project, explains to Matthew Parris why the 19th century children's author Louisa May Alcott has her vote for a Great Life. They are joined by Sarah Churchwell, Professor of American Literature at the University of East Anglia. Louisa May Alcott is best known as the writer of "Little Women", the story of four sisters growing up during the Civil War in America. Generations of girls have read the book, which at first sight seems to be an improving tract on growing up and becoming a good Christian wife. Both Laura and Sarah have a very different reading of the book and believe Louisa May Alcott to have been a remarkable woman and a dedicated feminist. Producer Christine Hall First heard on BBC Radio 4 in 2014.
