What does it mean to be an artist for the people? In this episode of Rising for Our Motherlands, we talk with muralists and cultural workers Cece Carpio and Chris “C” Gazaleh about making art in movement spaces — from the Philippines and Palestine to the murals that filled downtown Oakland after the George Floyd uprisings.Cece Carpio uses acrylic, ink, aerosol, and installations to tell stories of immigration, ancestry, resistance, and resilience. Her bold portraits blend folkloric forms with urban art techniques, honoring everyday people and their thriving presence. Cece has created and exhibited work across the world and currently serves as Galleries Manager for the San Francisco Arts Commission and Public Art Advisor for the City of Oakland.More: CeceCarpio.com | @CeceCarpioChris “C” Gazaleh is a San Francisco–born visual artist, musician, writer, organizer, and educator whose work uplifts Palestinian history, culture, and the struggle for freedom. Rooted in hip hop and graffiti, he developed his style early on and deepened his connection to his heritage while learning Arabic in Detroit. After returning home, he joined General Union of Palestine Students (GUPS) at San Francisco State University, helped create the Edward Said mural, and began painting murals throughout the community, working with youth to spread knowledge, love, and cultural pride.More: CGazaleh.com | @CGazalehTogether, we explore how art becomes a language for our families, nurtures collaboration, and uplifts community voices — and what it means to create under capitalist and imperialist systems.Special thanks to Women's Audio Mission and DJ Ari for hosting the recording of this episode.Featuring Music by Excentrik & Chris Gazaleh, Ruby Ibarra, Abe Batshon, Kimmortal, Public Enemy, Anderson Paak, & GingeeA huge thank you to Salma Taleb, Hesham Jarmakani, Francesca Juico, Chris Wanis, and Carmelo Ibanez for our beautiful theme music and to our co-conspirator & We Rise producer Cat Petru for weaving our voices and songs together.Podcast art created by nicole gervacio.
We've got a special conversation to wrap up the year before a holiday break. The Perrys are joined by their friend and Gospel-music artist CeCe Winans. CeCe shares how meeting the Lord at a young age shaped both her music and her priorities in life. The love of God has always been her motivator and she strives to please Him in all she does. From the fear of the Lord helping her navigate the music industry to choosing home and church over public calling, CeCe reflects on what has kept her grounded, She says, “I don't worship what I do. I worship who He is.” CeCe's challenge to listeners is to stay consistent in the things that matter, because you honor God, He'll honor you.Follow CeCe: https://www.instagram.com/cecewinansFind CeCe on her MORE THAN THIS Tour: https://cecewinans.com/tour/This Episode is Sponsored By:https://fieldofgreens.com — Get 20% off when you use promo code PERRY at checkout!

Welcome back to the Iron Sight Podcast. Today I'm in the studio with Cece and Ryan, and we're digging into one of the most persistent myths in the fitness world: the repetition continuum. You've heard it before — heavy weights for strength, moderate reps for hypertrophy, and light loads for endurance. It's simple, it's clean… and it's not really true.In this episode, we break down where that model came from, why it stuck around for so long, and what the current research actually says. We talk about some of the voices online influencing this conversation, and a well-known researcher who pretty much takes a sledgehammer to the old rep-range chart. We're going to cover what really drives strength, growth, and endurance — and how to use that information to train smarter, adapt better, and get more out of the work you're already doing.Enjoy the show!-25% OFF!

Richard Schwartz and Cece Sykes, who—along with Martha Sweezy— have recently co-authored a book on Internal Family Systems for Addictions. Richard is the Founder of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model, a pioneering approach to psychotherapy which can be used to treat a wide range of problems, including eating disorders, self harm, addiction, and trauma. Cece is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and IFS Senior Trainer with over thirty years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples and families, specialising in working with the effects of trauma and addiction. In this lively and wide-ranging discussion, we cover: — A basic intro to the IFS Model — The root causes of addiction from an IFS lens — Why IFS offers a highly effective treatment modality for addictive processes — Best practices for using IFS when treating addiction and also important things to avoid. And more. You can learn more about Cece's work at www.cecesykeslcsw.com and find out information about Dr Schwartz's upcoming IFS trainings by visiting www.ifs-institute.com. --- Cece Sykes, LCSW, ACSW; IFS Senior Trainer, US and international. Contributed to Levels 1 and 2 IFS training manuals and teaches L1 as well as L2 Trauma and Addiction. Cece has over thirty years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples and families, specializing in work with the effects of trauma and addiction. Her chapter on compassionate approaches to addictive process appears in IFS: Innovations and Elaborations, 2016, Routledge. Cece also has special interests in spiritual practices intersecting with therapy and in the impact of psychotherapy upon the life of the therapist and she lectures, consults and leads workshops on all of these topics. Cece lives and works in the city of Chicago. Richard Schwartz, PhD., began his career as a systemic family therapist and an academic. Grounded in systems thinking, Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients' descriptions of various parts within themselves. He focused on the relationships among these parts and noticed that there were systemic patterns to the way they were organized across clients. He also found that when the clients' parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, the clients would experience spontaneously the qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion that Dr. Schwartz came to call the Self. He found that when in that state of Self, clients would know how to heal their parts. A featured speaker for national professional organizations, Dr. Schwartz has published many books and over fifty articles about IFS.

Are you holding back a piece of your heart from God? Pastor CeCe Love returns with a powerful message that challenges the comfort of partial commitment. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6, Revelation 3, and Jesus' own words, she argues that "all in" isn't extreme—it's the only response worthy of a God who gave everything for us. In this awakening episode, you'll discover why: Partial love can be a form of betrayal. Lukewarm faith is inherently dangerous. True discipleship means doing the Father's will. Prepare to examine your allegiance and be encouraged to live a life of total surrender that blesses generations to come. If you're ready to follow Jesus with your whole heart, this message is for you. Scripture references: Deuteronomy 6:5-15 Revelation 3:15-16 Matthew 12:30 James 4:17 Jeremiah 29:11 Deuteronomy 30:6 ABOUT US At Nashville Life Church, our vision is dedicated to following Jesus & building leaders.

Today, we're so excited to share a conversation with our good friend and teammate at Faith Matters, Cece Proffit. If you've followed Faith Matters for a while, you've felt Cece's influence—her energy, creativity, and care shape so much of what we do behind the scenes. And so today, we're thrilled she's stepping in front of the mic to talk about one of her very favorite subjects—Advent.In this conversation, Cece offers a beautiful and grounding introduction to Advent. If this tradition is new to you, you'll come away with simple, meaningful ways to begin. But beyond that, she invites us to experience Advent as a season of sacred longing—a time to hold both the beauty and the ache of our lives, and to trust that God will meet us in all of it.Cece helps us see that Advent prepares us for the joy of Christ's coming, not by turning away from the hard and the real, but by teaching us to stay with it. In that presence, something holy unfolds. And maybe most beautifully, she reminds us that we are part of this unfolding—that Christ comes not only to us in this season, but through us. Through our love, our creativity, we join in the work of “hasten[ing] the time” of peace on earth, goodwill toward men.For even more resources on Advent, including music, past essays, and more, be sure to check out our newsletter for this episode at faithmatters.org, and be sure to become a free subscriber to Wayfare at wayfaremagazine.org to receive beautiful, thoughtful essays to accompany your Advent observance this season.

Crafty Adventures During Gabriella & Zachary's sleepover we pained and made plastic ornaments with spiraled pipe cleaners inside. So cute and easy! Knitting in Passing A cute preteen girl came over when I was crocheting on the train to ask what kind of hook I was using and then asked if I was making a stocking for Christmas. I asked if she crocheted. She said yes but didn't offer more. When she went back to the grown up she was with, they gave her a big high five. So cute. Then the gentleman across from me who saw me counting rows then asked what happened if I lose count. Told him I could read the stitches. He congratulated me onto who new addition to our family. In My Travels I shared highlights from a recent trip to New York City. I spent a wonderful morning at the MET Aida Silvestri- artist from Eritrea who had a triptych of pieces on display. Her work is motivated by social concern, but it also explores the camera's ability to connect people to a place. In these portraits of immigrant women, the artist strategically blurs her subjects' faces. This gesture, born of a need for protective anonymity, seems to evoke a greater enigma of the self. Mapping the course of migration to London are lines of thread stitched into the surfaces of the print- permanent, identity-altering interventions. Silvestri regards her series as a documentary project dedicated to those travelers who never reached their destination. Two embroidery samplers from Bostonian women from the late 1700s that were just beautiful.

Commentator Update (links in this section go to Ravelry) Quarter 2 is in full swing and, when I looked today, 9 players had already submitted for points for the Q2 challenge! Are you still thinking of what you can make that is at least 60 rows, using a row counter? Here are some ideas! Hats! Many of our early Q2 finishers completed hats. Neferetri, Hollyelyse and Janknitdun completed beautiful cabled hats...I bet the row counter came in handy for those projects! Kimbuktu7 completed a lovely colorwork hat Adrie9 completed a lovely two colored musselburgh hat Neckwear is also a popular choice among our early Q2 finishers Mikkaelab completed a lovely crocheted cowl and a knit bandana! Sandyrlevin also completed a cowl in steelers colors (note--she used a pattern by PSP Knitty Natty too)--Way to rack up those points! There's still plenty of time for you to get your projects in for Q2. These finishers have definitely demonstrated that there are plenty of patterns with at least 60 rows that work up in a flash! PepperRN added in Pigskin Party Tips Thread on Ravelry If you are budgeting but still want to support sponsors buy something re usable. Stitch markers can be used in 1 project and then when finished in the next. I like knitting hats for charity so I bought a hat pattern from a sponsor. I put that pattern with a sponsor bag and sponsor stitch markers and can knit it over and over during the PSP. On a Happy Note New York City! I took the train this time which was a great option. Laura and I had dinner with two of her pilates clients. We all enjoyed Gabriella and Zachary's first sleepover. We watched the KPOP Demon Hunters movie and after going to bed early and reading the Hot Air Balloon book, wehad fun hunting for the orange eyed monster! Dan made the kids pancakes and we'll put their photos on the collage wall in the guest room. Gabriella asked for a unicorn and a ghost Spiderman. Zach wanted Spiderman. I received a really nice message from my cousin Gayle who was visiting her friend in NH and let me know that Mom's shawl that she chose was keeping her warm. Love you Gayle! My childhood friend Maribeth has shared a few photos of things her family has found when cleaning out her parents' attic- costumes and things my mom made. It was sweet of her to send me those photos so we could reminisce. I finally got to join Beth's Karaoke Night Zoom (part of the Love in Stitches Membership). Dad is recovering from a back injury but doing better. We successfully moved my grandmother into the Memory Care side of the independent living home she's lived at for 5 years. Hope this will be a good fit for her. I got a massage this week! Quote of the Week "In November, the earth is growing quiet. It is making its bed, a winter bed for flowers and small creatures.

Carmen had a power outage last night while she was trying to sleep. Amazon had an outage that effected millions trying to do work. There's good news for those that have had to do without peanuts because of an allergy. Carmen and Pete were outside when they heard the music of an ice cream truck nearby. So they tracked it down for a sweet treat last night. Can we go without a CeCe song for our Midweek Praise Break? Sort of... This week's songs include Thank You...

Jay Hook, is an 88-year-old former Major League Baseball pitcher and Grayslake native. Jay shares vivid stories about his childhood in Grayslake, his journey to the big leagues, and memorable moments with the Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets. The conversation highlights Grayslake's rich history, the impact of local mentors, and Jay's enduring ties to the community. Jay also reflects on life lessons, family, and the importance of kindness, offering listeners inspiration and a heartfelt glimpse into small-town American life. Discovering Grayslake: A Journey Through Time with Jay Hook Hey there, Grayslake enthusiasts! I'm thrilled to share some highlights from my latest episode featuring the incredible Jay Hook. Jay, an 88-year-old former professional baseball player, has a treasure trove of stories that span from his childhood in Grayslake to his days pitching in Major League Baseball. Here's a sneak peek at what you'll discover in this episode: Key Takeaways and Curiosities: Grayslake Roots**: Jay's family has deep ties to Grayslake, with his father owning Cece's Drugstore on Center Street and his uncle running Hook's Lumber Yard. Jay's childhood was filled with community spirit and hard work, which laid the foundation for his athletic career. Athletic Prowess**: Jay was a multi-sport star in high school, excelling in football, basketball, and baseball. His talents earned him a scholarship to Northwestern University, where he balanced sports with studying engineering. Major League Debut**: Jay's journey to the majors is a tale of perseverance and opportunity. He signed with the Cincinnati Reds and made a memorable debut, nearly pitching a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Braves. Historic Moments**: Jay pitched the first game the New York Mets ever won, a historic moment that still brings him fan mail. He also shares anecdotes about facing legendary hitters like Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. Community and Mentorship**: Jay's stories highlight the importance of community support and mentorship. From his grade school principal helping him get into Northwestern to his high school coaches shaping his character, Jay's success is a testament to the power of positive influences. Family and Legacy**: Jay's family life is just as rich as his professional career. He shares charming stories about meeting his wife, Joanne, and their nearly 68-year marriage. Their partnership and mutual support have been the bedrock of their family's success. Life After Baseball**: Jay's post-sports career is equally impressive. He worked in advanced product planning at Chrysler, held leadership roles at Rockwell International and Masco Corporation, and even became a professor at Northwestern University. Preserving History**: Jay and I discuss the importance of preserving Grayslake's history through the local historical society. His reflections on the town's growth and changes over the years offer a nostalgic glimpse into the past. Random Acts of Kindness**: We close the episode with a heartfelt challenge to perform random acts of kindness. Jay's life is a shining example of how small gestures can make a big difference. I hope these highlights spark your curiosity and entice you to listen to the full episode. Jay Hook's stories are a rich tapestry of Grayslake's history, filled with lessons on perseverance, community, and the enduring spirit of small-town America. Tune in to "Discovering Grayslake" and join me on this fascinating journey through time. Don't forget to subscribe and share your thoughts—I'd love to hear from you! P.S. Remember, a small act of kindness can brighten someone's day. Let's keep the spirit of Grayslake alive!

Welcome back to the Iron Sights Podcast. I'm in the studio today with CeCe and Ryan, and we're diving into how to build real power in the gym—without Olympic lifts or endless box jumps.A lot of people think power training is reserved for elite athletes or requires advanced lifts like cleans and snatches. While those are great tools, the truth is you can develop explosive strength and speed in safer, more practical ways that work for everyday lifters.We'll break down the key principles of power development, how to program it effectively, and how to train for explosive results without fancy tools or velocity-based devices. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or just someone who wants to move better and stronger, this episode will give you a clear roadmap for building power that lasts.25% OFF!

Welcome back to the Iron Sights Podcast! I'm back in the Red Dot Fitness studio with Ryan and CeCe to tackle a hot topic that's all over the internet right now: the clash between science-based training and so-called “bro science.” We break down what exercise science research really tells us—and where it often gets taken out of context—so you can make smarter decisions about your own training. We also share practical best practices for applying both evidence-based principles and time-tested gym wisdom, so you can find the sweet spot between research and real-world results. Whether you're a coach, a serious lifter, or just curious about the science behind your workouts, this episode gives you the tools to bridge the gap and train with confidence.25% OFF!

Ever notice how one “wrong” brushstroke can send you into a spiral? You're standing in your studio, brush in hand, and suddenly the inner courtroom opens up. The judge, jury, and executioner? All you.This episode is about what I call self-aggression. Those tiny but brutal ways we attack ourselves for daring to experiment, for not being perfect, for being… human. And here's the thing: it's costing you way more than you realize.I'll walk you through why we confuse self-criticism with professionalism, how it's secretly strangling your creativity, and what happens when you trade all that punishment for curiosity instead. (Hint: your studio becomes the safest, most exciting place to create.)You'll hear real stories from Growth Studio: Leslie catching herself in an “auction spiral,” Megan reframing her supply list, Scott protecting his energy, and Cece navigating the push-pull of play vs. control. Plus, I'll share a micro-meltdown of my own and how I turned it around.If you've ever started an apology tour before showing your work, or if you've ever thought “I'm such an idiot” mid-painting—this one's for you.Your Episode Map0:23 – The brushstroke that ruins everything (or does it?)1:59 – How “I'm such an idiot” sneaks into your studio5:49 – Why being hard on yourself isn't “professional” (it's poison)7:39 – Curiosity vs. criticism: the C in CREATE that changes everything8:32 – What self-aggression is secretly costing you (spoiler: it's huge)13:12 – Real Growth Studio stories: auctions, supply lists, and saying no25:00 – My own meltdown over a 2-inch drawing36:01 – The truth bomb: self-trust is the ultimate creative flexFor Your Studio WallWords worth pinning next to your easel:“Curiosity opens possibilities. Criticism shuts them down.”“Failure isn't evidence against you—it's information for you.”“Your studio is not a courtroom. Make it a laboratory.”“Treat yourself like your favorite student.”“The way you talk to yourself shows up on the canvas.”What to Bring Into the Studio With YouA daily rep: catch one micro-aggression and reframe it with curiosity.Neutral share rule: present your work without the apology preface.Constraints as safety: same size, same tools, familiar setups = freedom to explore.A pre-painting intention: I'm here to explore, not to be perfect.Support the showAnd hey - if this episode hit home, do me a favor, leave a review on Apple Podcast or come say hi on Instagram: @savvypainterpodcastI'd love to hear this episode resonated you. ❤️
