From Miriam to Priscilla, the story of Scripture calls women into leadership and encourages them to endure as “oaks of righteousness” alongside men. The uniqueness of a woman's position in the world carries with it a different weight than our brothers have. In this workshop, we'll see what God has to say to his daughters and to his sons who work alongside them. Becca Heck is a veteran youth minister who has served in Atlanta, GA for the last 15 years. She recently graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary in Atlanta with her M.Div and a Certificate of Bible and Ethnicity from the Edimston Center at RTS. Becca served on Rooted's Steering Committee in the early years and loves getting to be a part of all things Rooted Ministry. She is currently working in the field of crisis management and relational reconciliation in the Church, partnering with those who are in need of meditation and healing in order to proclaim the gospel clearly and boldly.

There are roughly 9,000 ambulatory surgery centers in the United States, and most of them aren't running at capacity. Ronen Elefant figured out that he didn't need to build another one; he just needed to reach the ones already sitting half empty.My guest this week is a trauma surgeon in Pennsylvania who has been flying his own plane to work for fourteen years. About a year ago he turned that into a business: rent time at an ASC, fly in, do the cases, fly home. One bundled price covering the facility, the anesthesiologist, and the surgeon. No insurance, no three separate bills arriving weeks apart.We get into how the economics work at three or four cases per trip, and why patients drive six hours from the Dakotas to get on a cash schedule. Ronen also explains what certificate of need laws actually protect, why he thinks insurance should only exist for catastrophic care, and how an employer could plug fly-in surgery into a self-funded plan without building anything.If you've been looking at surgical bundles and wondering how the supply side works, this is the episode. Tune in."Burnout doesn't come from surgeons standing up all day. It comes from doing all this stuff on behalf of the insurance company." - Dr. Ronen Elefant, ACESThank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

This week, Tee is joined by Abbie Davidson, founder and editor of The Filtery, where she helps people reduce everyday toxic exposures without fear or overwhelm. Abbie has worked in sustainability and wellbeing for over a decade, a path that deepened after she became severely ill from a moldy air conditioner and was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). She holds a Certificate in Healthier Materials & Sustainable Building from Parsons School of Design and a Building Biology Advocate™ Certification, and is passionate about making safer product swaps accessible and sustainable for the long term. In this episode, Abbie breaks down the exhausting pursuit of a "toxin-free" life and why chasing perfection can backfire, leading to fear, overwhelm, and burnout instead of real health protection. She shares how her own CIRS diagnosis reshaped her relationship with toxic exposures and pushed her toward a more balanced, sustainable approach. Tee and Abbie explore what it actually looks like to protect your health without falling into the perfectionism trap. The conversation also dives into one of Tee's favorite topics: how to actually reduce toxic exposure without the anxiety spiral. Abbie shares how she researches and recommends safer products in a way that's realistic for the long haul, and points listeners to her free Swaps Spreadsheet, featuring her top 2 brand picks across 100+ product categories. Whether you're just starting to rethink what's under your sink or looking for a sustainable middle ground, this episode offers a refreshing, guilt-free way to think about clean living.

Host Sue ‘Rose' Minahan explores the dynamic energy of “Mars Action Squares Saturn” by reviewing evolving cultural consciousness themes during their thirty-year cycles since 1908.Mars Rules AriesMars transits protective Cancer while retrograde Saturn, transits in identity-based Aries. Thus, Mars the ruler of Aries guides Saturn while in the sign of Aries.Their energy influencing us to redetermine directions in addressing what drives our honest needs of identity. These relate to the emotional drives supporting close-knit, family-like relationships. We internally process re-establishing motives and ambitions while Mars squares Saturn in apparent retrograde.30-Year CycleMars in Cancer square Saturn in Aries, repeats only about every 30 years because of their ecliptic orbits. Mars orbits the Sun in two years, and Saturn in 30 years. Most recent exact squares on August 15, 1996, and July 11, 1968.Their current square began August 23 shortly before the Lunar Eclipse. The energy reaches an exact culmination at 13° Cancer/Aries on September 1st – staying in orb until September 8. Mars enters Leo on September 29 and Virgo on November 26.

RI1FJ – Franz Jozef Land - The RI1FJL DXpedition team in Franz Josef Land reports a very weak internet connection, causing log uploads to be slow, fragmented, and unreliable on the first attempt. The team has settled into a work routine but is tired. Propagation has been unstable, with strong signals often fading quickly. Weather has been mostly favorable, though windy, with temperatures around freezing. All of the team are doing well and they will continue to operate for another 8-9 days. 5W – Samoa - SP5AEQ, Jacek, will begin operating as 5W0AF on September 21 from a location near Apia. The operation will cover the 10–40 meter bands using SSB only, with a possible attempt on 80 meters during the final days of his three-week stay. QSL requests should be sent via SP7DQR, and logs will be available online with uploads planned at least once per day. OQRS will also be available, with bureau and LoTW free; LoTW uploads are expected a few weeks after the trip concludes. C5 – The Gambia - C5R, Lui, says he is starting to pack his bags “slowly, slowly,” for Africa. He leaves Milan, Italy for Banjul, The Gambia, via Casablanca, Morocco, arriving in Banjul October 1, for a stay until November 4. He says F5RAV and M0NPT will join him for the CQWW SSB weekend and they plan all bands CW, SSB, FT4, FT8 and satellite, during their days there. They will also be busy doing some humanitarian work leftover from Lui's last visit, at the Wilcos School.S9 - Sao Tome and Principe- S9R, an expedition, is October 17-31, from Tamarindos. Planned is HF, various modes. The antennas are a spiderbeam, hexbeam, 40M vertical, 80-10 EFHW and 6M 5-element Yagi. Digital modes will be FT8 MSHV, multi-slot. The modes are CW, SSB, RTTY and FT8, 160-6M including 60. They will also get on the QO-100 satellite. Operation will be “split at all times.” 6W – Senegal - 6W/I2YSB and 6W/IK2HKT, with operators IV3FSG, I2PJA, IK2AQZ, I2YSB, I1FQH, IK2HKT, I1HJT and IK2CKR will be in October-November with five stations. The antennas that they plan to use are a 6M 5-element yagi, six-band hexbeams, a 30M loop, and verticals for 160, 80, 40, 60 and 30, plus a DHDL receive antenna. From Mid-October to early November: JD1BQP, Ogasawara - JD1BQP by JP1IHD, Koutarou Watanabe, will be on Chichijim October 17-November 2. He will use an end-fed half-wave wire antenna that covers 160-10M, a six-band hexbeam for 20-6M, plus a seven-element Yagi for 6M. CE0Z - Juan Fernandez Islands - CE3VTZ and XQ7IR, Moises and Felipe, are going there for 10 days or so in October. They plan 160-10M FT8, CW and SSB. It will be Alexander Selkirk Island, IOTA SA-101. They will be running on generators. VK9/X – Christmas Island - VK9XY will be a November 16–December 4, 2026 DXpedition to Christmas Island that gives young amateur radio operators real-world leadership and operating experience. Led by N4ML, Max Freedman, eight young hams from the United States, Lithuania, Japan, and Malawi will plan, build, and operate the expedition themselves, with veteran DXpeditioners W6IZT, Gregg, and W0GJ, Glenn, serving only as advisors. In partnership with YOTA and supported by a Northern California DX Foundation equipment grant, VK9XY will also allow 30–40 additional young operators worldwide to gain remote DXpedition experience through NexGenRiB2 stations. Donations help cover every team member's travel and operating expenses so cost does not keep talented young operators from participating, and donors receive a personalized Certificate of Appreciation at vk9xy2026.com.

I Hope to hear you in the pileups! Have a great DX week!
Send us fan responses! If you've ever felt like the system only sees you as a file, a number, or a “person” on paper, this conversation will challenge how you think about money, identity, and power. We go off the record and talk about the commercial mask people wear without realizing it, then trace how paperwork, presentments, and silent agreement can shape everything from debt to ownership.I break down a simple but sticky framework I teach inside DK's Private Business Circle: three pillars that I believe stay relevant in every era preacher, accountant, and “Heaven On Earth.” That leads into ordination and spiritual assembly as a way to claim private standing, accounting and ledger literacy as the real battleground behind bills and credit, and trust-based thinking as a container for asset protection and legacy planning. We also touch UCC language, conditional acceptance, and why arguing with agencies can be a trap if you don't understand jurisdiction and process.Then we zoom out to community wealth: why some groups build banks, land ownership, and durable institutions while others keep paying rent and fees with nothing to show for it. Whether you fully agree, strongly disagree, or land somewhere in the middle, you'll leave with sharper questions to research about trusts, unincorporated associations, tax credits, private education, and long-term family governance.If this sparked something, share it with a friend who cares about legacy, then subscribe and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.

In this solo episode, Amy Wheeler explores a fascinating question: What happens when we look beneath the physical practice of yoga and return to its deeper purpose? Beginning with the history of āsana, Amy traces how yoga postures evolved from simple meditation seats into the diverse practices we know today. Along the way, she examines the Tantric influence of the Śiva Saṃhitā, the rise of embodied awareness in modern somatic practices, and the importance of lived experience as a pathway to understanding ourselves more deeply. The episode invites listeners to consider how yoga therapy can serve as a bridge between ancient wisdom and contemporary understandings of human experience, healing, and transformation.In this episode, Amy discusses:• The Sanskrit root of āsana and its original meaning as a seat or stable posture for meditation• The role of āsana in the Yoga Sūtras and why Patañjali devoted only a few verses to posture• The evolution of āsana through the Haṭha Yoga tradition, including the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā, Gheraṇḍa Saṃhitā, and Śiva Saṃhitā• Why the Śiva Saṃhitā is considered one of the most Tantric of the major Haṭha Yoga texts• The concepts of prāṇa, nāḍīs, chakras, and kuṇḍalinī as experiential maps of human transformation• How modern somatic approaches emphasize interoception, self-awareness, and embodied regulation• The importance of first-hand lived experience in understanding consciousness and healing• The connection between lived experience, yoga therapy, and the study of consciousness• How Indigenous ways of knowing value observation, participation, relationship, and direct experience• Why lived experience may be one of the most important meeting points between yoga, science, and healingClosing ThoughtsOne of the enduring gifts of yoga is its invitation to investigate experience directly. Whether we approach that inquiry through Classical Yoga, Tantra, somatic practice, lived experience, or Indigenous wisdom traditions, each reminds us that transformation begins with attention. The path of yoga therapy is not simply about changing symptoms or improving function. It is also about learning to observe, inhabit, and understand our lived experience more fully. In doing so, we may discover that the body, breath, mind, and spirit have been teaching us all along.Contact Amy Wheeler:www.TheOptimalState.com Optimal State App for iPhone:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/optimal-state/id1604424804 The Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yoga-therapy-hour-with-amy-wheeler/id1564687158 School of Integrative Health at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool

Sports Social Work Is Booming: NIL, Athlete Mental Health & Careers | Dr. Matthew MooreDr. Matthew Moore joins Diversified Game to break down the rapidly growing field of sport social work and what it actually takes to build a career helping athletes beyond the scoreboard.Dr. Moore is Associate Dean of Academic and Student Affairs at the University of Kentucky College of Social Work, co-founder of the Alliance of Social Workers in Sports, founder/editor of the Sport Social Work Journal, and a leader in sport social work education and research.We get into the questions people usually avoid: Do sports social work certificates actually help you get hired? Are relationships and real athletic experience more valuable than credentials? Should social workers pursue a PhD or DSW? Why are many PhD programs funded while DSW programs often are not? Where does AI help research, and where does it fall short?The conversation goes deeper into NIL, athlete protection, dual relationships, financial literacy, youth burnout, international athletes, recruiting in Africa, and the danger of making athletic identity a young person's entire identity. Dr. Moore explains why collegiate and community sports are seeing some of the strongest growth opportunities for social workers and why social work, psychology, psychiatry, coaching, and athletic training should work together instead of competing.We also discuss the University of Kentucky's sport social work education pathways, career networking, his sport social work textbook, and a new comprehensive sport social work handbook being developed with more than 100 international experts.GUESTDr. Matthew MooreUniversity of Kentucky College of Social WorkEmail: mattmoore@uky.eduAlliance of Social Workers in SportsSport Social Work JournalLearn the mindset and moves that lead to real results.

Is it possible to be a strong leader with a healthy soul? Let's be honest — prioritizing soul care can feel at odds with the results-driven culture that sometimes exists in ministry. Even so, the Good Shepherd invites us to slow down to receive the nourishment and refreshment that will not only bless us, but also those we lead. Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Kristi has a conversation with Adam Jungeblut — a pastor of 22 years and soon-to-be graduate of the Soul Shepherding Certificate in Spiritual Direction program. His story illustrates how even the most driven leaders benefit from creating space to heal, grow, and overflow. You'll gain practical insight to help you stay on mission while also prioritizing soul care practices like solitude, silence, and empathy.

Send us Fan MailIn-office lab is one of the most common ancillary additions practices consider, and one of the easiest to get expensively wrong. Part one of two: the framework that decides everything before you spend a dollar. What CLIA is. The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, passed in 1988 and administered by CMS, govern all lab testing on human specimens. Every test your practice runs on a patient sample requires a certificate. Which certificate you need depends on the complexity of the test, not on what you would like to do. The three categories. Waived tests are simple enough for FDA-approved over the counter use: strep, flu, COVID antigen, dipstick, glucose, pregnancy. A Certificate of Waiver runs about $150 every two years with no routine inspection, and the compliance standard is following the manufacturer's instructions exactly. Moderately complex covers CBC, CMP and UA with microscopy, and requires a designated lab director, documented competency, daily QC, proficiency testing and routine inspection. High complexity is hospital and reference lab territory. Getting certified. Confirm your exact analyzer model and test kit are on the CMS waived list, file Form CMS-116 with your state or MAC, expect two to four weeks and about $150, then build your policies and train your staff. Only then buy equipment. CLIA number first, equipment second. The four questions. What are you already referring out that you could run yourself? What does your patient population need at point of care? What is your payer mix for these test types? And do you have the staff capacity and the discipline for the compliance program? The strongest business case is for tests that change the same-day clinical decision. Three actions this week Pull your reference lab orders for the last 90 days and group them by test type. That list is your candidate menu, and it is real demand rather than a projection. Look up your exact analyzer model and test kit on the CMS waived test list at cms.gov before you take a single vendor call. Name who would own the compliance program, and ask them honestly whether they have the bandwidth to do daily QC consistently.

Join Talk Cosmos as we explore the 4° Pisces Lunar Eclipse occurring on August 27–28. As the second celestial marker in this eclipse pair, this show picks up where our August 2nd episode left off, diving deeper into the August 12 Solar Eclipse at 20° Leo.Navigating the EnergyThe Pisces Lunar Eclipse focuses on what part of a dream or vision we must ground—avoiding fantasy—to discern the exact skills needed to transform ideas into reality. Sudden insights guide us in activating this process. Ultimately, the 4°59' Pisces Lunar Eclipse asks us to reset our self-care and heal our sense of self-worth—and possibly our physical well-being—while developing our resources and talents for true self-reliance.Nodal Dynamics & Critical DegreesThis Pisces Lunar Eclipse echoes the lingering residue from the recent 18-month Pisces-Virgo nodal cycle following the earlier Solar Eclipse in Leo. With the nodes having entered their new cycle, they hold at the critical 29th degree for over two months (July 26 through October 9). The 4° Pisces 54' Lunar Eclipse occurs at 12:18 a.m. EDT on August 28, and at 9:8 p.m. PDT on August 27.The Essence of the LuminaryThe Moon regulates how the past—reflected through the Sun's light—flows into the present. Every lunar cycle supports an evolving life story as we navigate shifting emotional energies and find new meanings. Eclipses intensify these dynamics, bringing our focus to pivotal changing factors in our lives.The ConversationJoining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawai'i, will be Talk Cosmos member Amanda Pierce of Seattle, Washington.Connect with inspiration!

Send us fan responses! Most people are one bad assumption away from staying a renter for another decade: they think a mortgage only comes from their bank, on “normal” terms, after years of perfect credit. We break that myth down and replace it with a real-world roadmap to homeownership and real estate investing using programs that already exist, including FHA loans, USDA rural loans, and DSCR investor loans.We start with FHA because it's the on-ramp that many first-time homebuyers overlook. We talk through the real requirements (credit score targets, employment history, debt-to-income), why FHA is federally insured, and why playing it straight protects your future options. Then we get into the move that changes everything: buying a 2 to 4 unit property, living in one unit, and renting the rest so the building helps pay for itself. We also explain the occupancy rule and how refinancing to a conventional mortgage can reset your ability to use FHA again later.From there we widen the lens. We cover USDA rural loan basics for properties outside major city areas, and we touch DSCR loans where approval leans on rental income instead of your W-2, which can matter for investor deals and short-term rentals. Along the way, we share how we look for programs, why local chambers of commerce can surface opportunities early, and how holding companies can keep ownership more private.If you got value from this, subscribe, share it with someone trying to buy their first place, and leave a review so more people can find the playbook.

In this episode of FreightWaves Today, hosts Craig Fuller and Julie Van de Kamp explore key headlines and developments across the logistics, trucking, and transportation sectors. The show features discussions on the state of trailer insurance, driver recruitment and health, alongside live market analysis via FreightWaves SONAR. Andy Kuchar explains that freight brokers and logistics companies utilizing leased trailer pools are frequently exposed to unmanaged liability risks. Many traditional commercial auto policies contain exclusions for trailers when they are over the road. He points out three warning signs of coverage gaps: reliance on "contingent" coverage language, assuming a third-party driver's Certificate of Insurance protects you, and lacking a dedicated trailer policy. In our SONAR Update, we see that tender rejections have moderated around 13.5%, overall rejection metrics and spot rates remain significantly higher compared to recent years (up ~21% year-over-year). Craig and Julie characterize explain that this is typical seasonal behavior before the late-summer and Labor Day ramp-up. Jeremy Reymer introduces Project 61, a non-profit initiative created to address the alarmingly low average lifespan of commercial truck drivers (61 years old). The program focuses on practical, free lifestyle improvements for drivers centered on food/nutrition, movement, sleep/recharge, mental health, and preventative care. The segment highlights how driver health directly correlates to highway safety and accident risk reduction. In our 2nd hour, it's return of the Matt! Matthew Leffler joins Craig for an episode of Freight Expectations. The two cover the FMCSA's proposed rulemaking to codify English language proficiency as an out-of-service violation. They also dive deep into asymmetric warfare, drone technology, and potential vulnerabilities across U.S. logistics infrastructure, fuel refining capacity, and transport hubs.

Apple device prices are soaring due to rising hardware costs, and their newest solution is to offer “forever leases” on iPhones, Macs, and iPads for a fixed monthly fee. While this subscription-style leasing model might make sense if you're a tech enthusiast, it's a dangerous financial trap for the average consumer. Before you fall for the low monthly sticker price—or get tied down by a carrier's misleading "free phone" promotion—understand the long-term cost to your wallet. On the savings front, everyday savers have a prime opportunity now to lock in high returns before interest rates drop. If you have cash you won't need for 1 to 5 years, Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are one of the safest ways to beat inflation. Clark walks us through how to easily purchase broker-placed CDs through top discount brokerages or reputable online banks, why you should strictly avoid giant mega-banks that offer virtually zero interest, and how to protect yourself from the predatory "auto-rollover" trap that slashes your rates the moment your term ends.

Episode OverviewIn this thoughtful and grounded conversation, Amy Wheeler sits down with Marlysa Sullivan, a physical therapist, yoga therapist, and educator working within the Veterans Administration and at Notre Dame of Maryland University. Together, they explore the Niyamas from The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as living practices—less about rigid rules and more about ongoing self-inquiry, ethical reflection, and alignment in daily life.Rather than presenting the Niyamas as fixed ideals, this episode invites a more nuanced approach: one that considers context, relationship, and the evolving nature of what it means to act with integrity. The conversation weaves together classical yoga philosophy, modern clinical experience, and real-world application, offering a grounded pathway for both practitioners and clinicians.Key Themes ExploredEthics as a Living Inquiry Ethical practice is not static. Marlysa emphasizes that what is “right” depends on context, relationship, and discernment. This requires ongoing reflection: What is most relevant, kind, and supportive in this moment?Śauca (Clarity and Inner Cleanliness) The discussion reframes purity away from moral judgment and toward clarity. Rather than “fixing what is wrong,” the practice becomes one of noticing what clouds perception—habit patterns, past impressions, and emotional residue—and gently clearing space for more skillful action. Santoṣa (Contentment as Stability and Action) Contentment is explored as a steady inner ground, not passivity. True contentment allows for both acceptance and meaningful action. The conversation highlights the balance between deficiency (chronic dissatisfaction) and excess (avoidance or spiritual bypassing).Tapas (Right Effort and Friction for Growth) Tapas is described as the willingness to meet discomfort in service of transformation. It is the moment where inner clarity meets outward action—often requiring courage to move beyond familiar patterns.Svādhyāya (Self-Study and Honest Reflection) The practice of self-study calls for humility and relational support. Amy and Marlysa emphasize the importance of trusted relationships that can reflect blind spots and support deeper self-awareness.Īśvara Praṇidhāna (Surrender and Letting Go of Outcome) Surrender is presented as an essential counterbalance to effort. One does the work with integrity, then releases attachment to results. This is especially relevant in complex systems, where control is limited and trust becomes necessary.Integrating Kriyā YogaThe final three Niyamas—Tapas, Svādhyāya, and Īśvara Praṇidhāna—are explored as Kriya Yoga, a practical pathway for transformation.Together, they form a cycle:Act with intentionReflect with honestySurrender the outcomeThis dynamic process supports both personal growth and therapeutic presence.Clinical and Real-World ApplicationDrawing from her work in the Veterans Administration, Marlysa highlights how these teachings translate into practice:Healing is not one-size-fits-all; each individual responds differentlyCuriosity supports humility and clinical effectivenessRelationship and co-reflection are essential for growthYoga therapy must move beyond biomechanics to include meaning, perception, and lived experienceThe conversation reinforces that how we approach a simple movement—like stretching a hamstring—often reflects how we approach life itself.Practical ReflectionFor those beginning to work with the Niyamas:Start with the one that feels most relevant or meaningfulReflect on where you tend toward excess or deficiencyUse curiosity as a guide rather than judgmentEngage trusted others in your process of reflectionClosing InsightThis episode reframes ethics not as obligation, but as an enlivening and relational practice. When approached with curiosity and sincerity, the Niyamas become a guide for living with clarity, integrity, and connection—to oneself and to others.Learn MoreVisit Marlysa Sullivan: www.marlysasullivan.comExplore the foundations in The Yoga Sutras of PatanjaliContact Amy Wheeler:www.TheOptimalState.com Optimal State App for iPhone:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/optimal-state/id1604424804 The Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yoga-therapy-hour-with-amy-wheeler/id1564687158 School of Integrative Health at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool Our new book- https://www.amazon.com/Applying-Therapeutic-Yoga-Integrative-Health/dp/1032888628/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RFZ3L5MCCNPH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.I7harQDOLulfRbd3dx2vVa5VUZa840PHcWB7dDiT3_bB2nravzO7_9Xs9shMhcy2Iwu0wtTA1PxeUG4TTugEQJuK_OEpvzQ-OyVvtsUkXsc.ViqLrL-EQPX7s09wZF6_2eCpLCimHa7Ohfbw-F7Yuk4&dib_tag=se&keywords=applications+in+therapeutic+yoga+wheeler&qid=1775224796&sprefix=applications+in+therapeutic+yoga+wheele%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1

In this episode, Howard Farran sits down with Dr. Chanelle Small, an endodontist who earned her Certificate of Endodontics from Tufts and both her DDS and undergraduate degree from Howard University, and who served as a Clinical Instructor at Columbia. Beyond founding Midtown Endodontics in New York City, Dr. Small works as a dental expert witness, retained by both plaintiff and defense attorneys across multiple states to determine whether the standard of care was met in malpractice cases. The conversation demystifies the legal side of dentistry that most clinicians never see until it's too late. Dr. Small breaks down the four elements of a malpractice claim — duty, breach, causation, and damages — through a real endodontic scenario, and explains how "standard of care" actually gets defined in the courtroom versus the textbook. She walks through the anatomy of a case from the initial complaint to resolution, when and how an expert witness enters the picture, and whether she's ever felt pressured by attorneys to shade her opinion to strengthen a case. The episode closes on the practical side every dentist can act on today: why radiographic documentation matters so much, what's most often missing from the record, and the habits beyond documentation that help protect a practice.

Join Talk Cosmos as we explore the 20° Leo Solar Eclipse occurring a few weeks ahead on August 12. To give each of these powerful celestial markers sufficient attention, we will cover the August 12 Solar Eclipse in this episode and dive into the August 27 Pisces Lunar Eclipse later in the month.Nodal Dynamics & Critical DegreesThe Lunar Nodes move in reverse (clockwise around the zodiac) and have just entered the Aquarius North Node and Leo South Node. This New Moon in Leo comes into orb of a conjunction with the Leo South Node, marking the second solar eclipse of the year and the first under this new nodal axis.Furthermore, the nodes will hold at the critical 29th degree for over two months (from July 26 through October 9). This intense degree echoes the remaining residue of the previous Pisces-Virgo nodal cycle, which permeates through this pair of upcoming eclipses—the Solar Eclipse in Leo and the Lunar Eclipse tipping into Pisces.Navigating the EnergiesWe may feel a bit cautious yet deeply driven to realize our dreams and visions. Meanwhile, our inner life spark thrives on activating and nourishing personal relationships. What we value—and seek to align emotionally with our past—seems to evolve through immediate experience. Ultimately, we are deeply transmuting the foundational strategies and wisdom behind our core desires.Taking time to listen to our heart's internal direction recalibrates how we support our life path. Leo represents heart-centered leadership. By refining subtle, negatively intentional motives—such as unexamined anger or vengeance—we clear the path for fulfilling, authentic Leo leadership. Life invites us to use our creative gifts for the collective good, showing us where to release the ego's subtle demands for entitlement or arrogance so we can step fully into updated leadership roles within our communities. The Essence of the LuminaryAs our most personal luminary, the Moon regulates how the past flows into the present. It allows us to experience emotions, habits, and instinctual feelings, offering energetic input that helps piece together new meaning. In doing so, it supports our ongoing life story as we grow, heal, and evolve in mind, body, heart, and spirit.The ConversationJoining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawai'i, will be Talk Cosmos member Amanda Pierce of Seattle, Washington.Connect with inspiration!

Send us fan responses! Paperwork can feel like power until you realize it's also a trap. We kick things off with real talk about privacy, why we refuse to answer certain “legal” questions in public chats, and why an ID might be a representation of you rather than “you” itself. From there, we go deeper into how the host uses ministry language, private records, and mindset to navigate systems that most people only react to when it's already too late.We also get practical about documentation and organization, especially the overlooked value of family Bible records, baptismal certificates, school records, and other supporting documents often tied to identity and travel processes. The point isn't to obsess over a single template, it's to build a clean private record system you can actually use. Along the way, we talk about using AI tools like Google Gemini to recreate forms, modernize templates, and even build a service business around helping others with private records and documentation.Then we shift into the money side: holding company vs operating company, getting an EIN, using registered agents, building business credit, and focusing on cash flow instead of slow play tactics. You'll hear strong opinions about tax credits, payroll thinking, and why “freedom” looks more like structure and leverage than endless paperwork. We also touch controversial territory like “going foreign” with a Palau ID and what that could mean in real-world interactions, plus a run through vehicle ownership concepts like MSO or MCO. If you want high-level strategy, blunt accountability, and mindset pressure that pushes you to execute, press play, share this with a friend who needs structure, and leave a review with the biggest move you're making next.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com
In this episode, Amy sits down with Posture Ellie, a posture specialist based in the Peak District of England, whose work bridges movement, awareness, and human transformation.Ellie shares her personal journey from corporate burnout and disconnection to discovering yoga as a turning point—one that ultimately led her to specialize in posture as a powerful, accessible entry point into healing.Together, they explore a central reframe: posture is not about “standing up straight.” It is about how the body moves, adapts, and expresses lived experience.What You'll Hear in This EpisodePosture as a Living System Ellie challenges the common idea of posture as rigid alignment. Instead, she describes posture as fluid, responsive movement—an expression of how well the body functions as an integrated whole.From Symptoms to Root Cause Rather than chasing tension or pain, posture work invites us to restore movement where it has been lost. This shift moves the work from symptom relief toward deeper resolution.Interoception as a Learned Language Amy and Ellie discuss how body awareness is not immediate—it develops over time. Many people begin disconnected from sensation and gradually learn to “read” their body through consistent practice.The Missing Middle of Movement Modern life often swings between stillness (desk, car, couch) and intensity (gym, running). Ellie highlights the importance of restoring gentle, everyday movement—the “middle ground” our bodies are designed for.Patterns of Stress in the Body The conversation explores two common expressions of stress:Over-efforting / rigidity (often high-achieving, driven individuals)Collapse / withdrawal (protective, energy-conserving patterns)Both influence breathing, posture, and nervous system regulation in distinct ways.Breath, Posture, and the Nervous System Postural patterns directly affect breathing mechanics. Restricted diaphragmatic breathing can reinforce stress responses, while restoring breath capacity can support regulation.From Numbness to Feeling A powerful theme in this episode is the movement from disconnection to awareness. Many people initially feel “nothing,” only to later recognize long-held tension and emotion as awareness grows.Posture as a Gateway to Self-Relationship Over time, posture work becomes more than physical. It becomes a way of listening, responding, and relating to oneself with greater clarity and care.Key InsightPosture is not something you hold. It is something that emerges when the body is supported, responsive, and free to move.About the GuestPosture Ellie is a posture specialist and educator helping people reduce pain, improve movement, and reconnect with their bodies. Her work draws from yoga, the Egoscue Method, and a deep understanding of how modern lifestyles shape the human body.She is the author of Posture Power, a practical and empowering guide to understanding and improving posture.Website: www.posture-ellie.comInstagram: @postureellieBook: Posture Power → https://watkinspublishinglinks.com/posture-powerContact Amy Wheeler:www.TheOptimalState.com Optimal State App for iPhone:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/optimal-state/id1604424804 The Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yoga-therapy-hour-with-amy-wheeler/id1564687158 School of Integrative Health at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool Our new book- https://www.amazon.com/Applying-Therapeutic-Yoga-Integrative-Health/dp/1032888628/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RFZ3L5MCCNPH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.I7harQDOLulfRbd3dx2vVa5VUZa840PHcWB7dDiT3_bB2nravzO7_9Xs9shMhcy2Iwu0wtTA1PxeUG4TTugEQJuK_OEpvzQ-OyVvtsUkXsc.ViqLrL-EQPX7s09wZF6_2eCpLCimHa7Ohfbw-F7Yuk4&dib_tag=se&keywords=applications+in+therapeutic+yoga+wheeler&qid=1775224796&sprefix=applications+in+therapeutic+yoga+wheele%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1

Episode DescriptionIn this episode, Dr. Amy Wheeler continues the Season 10 exploration of the Eight Limbs of Yoga as a regulatory framework, turning inward toward the Niyamas—the personal disciplines that shape how we care for ourselves and engage in inner work. Rather than presenting the Niyamas as a checklist of ideals, this conversation reframes them as practices that create the internal conditions for nervous system regulation, clarity, and meaningful change.At the heart of this episode is a grounded inquiry: What happens when we reduce internal noise, increase awareness, and release the need to control everything?Through both classical teachings and modern neuroscience, Amy explores how daily practice (sādhana) supports a shift from overwhelm and reactivity toward steadiness, discernment, and trust.Key Themes ExploredThe Niyamas as Inner Regulation The Niyamas are not about perfection or moral pressure. They are about how we stabilize the internal environment so that clarity and integrity can naturally arise.You Cannot Offer What You Do Not Embody Our internal state directly shapes our professional presence. When we are cluttered, overwhelmed, or unreflective, it impacts how we show up with others. From Discipline to Daily Practice The Niyamas are lived through small, consistent actions—organizing our space, pausing for reflection, regulating the body, and observing the mind.Top-Down and Bottom-Up Regulation True transformation includes both:Working with the mind (top-down)Working with the body and physiology (bottom-up)Yoga therapy offers a unique bridge between these two approaches. The Niyamas Through a Neuroscience LensŚauca (Clarity and Purification) Reducing allostatic load—our chronic stress burden—by organizing our external and internal environments. Less clutter leads to less cognitive overload, allowing the mind to settle and the prefrontal cortex to function more effectively. Santoṣa (Contentment) A present-moment orientation that shifts the brain's predictive bias. As regulation increases, the brain becomes less focused on past threat and more open to possibility, safety, and “I am okay right now.” Tapas (Disciplined Effort) The steady repetition that builds new neural pathways. Tapas is neuroplasticity in action—choosing new responses, reinforcing them over time, and gradually reducing reactivity. Svādhyāya (Self-Study) Developing meta-awareness and interoception—the ability to observe thoughts, emotions, and sensations without immediately reacting. This creates a pause where new choices become possible. Īśvara Praṇidhāna (Surrender) Releasing excessive control reduces sympathetic overactivation and increases tolerance for uncertainty. When we soften the need to control everything, the nervous system becomes more flexible, resilient, and open to possibility. Clinical InsightWhen people struggle with the Niyamas, it is rarely a lack of discipline or integrity.More often, it reflects:High allostatic load (chronic stress)Nervous system dysregulationLimited access to internal safetyFrom this perspective, the work is not to try harder, but to create conditions where regulation is possible.A Practical ReframeInstead of asking:Am I doing the Niyamas correctly?We might ask:What is increasing my internal noise?What helps my system settle?Where can I reduce load, even slightly?From there, the Niyamas begin to emerge rather than be forced.Integration with the YamasThe Yamas (social disciplines) and Niyamas (personal disciplines) function as a continuous loop:Inner regulation supports relational clarityRelational harmony reduces internal stressTogether, they create a self-reinforcing cycle of regulation, discernment, and well-being. Reflection for ListenersTake a moment to reflect:Where in your life is there unnecessary cognitive or sensory load?What helps you return to a sense of “okayness” in the present moment?Where might you benefit from more effort—and where might you need to release control?ClosingThe Niyamas invite a steady relationship with yourself.Not as a project to fix— but as a system to support.As internal noise decreases and awareness increases, regulation becomes more accessible, Contact Amy Wheeler:www.TheOptimalState.com Optimal State App for iPhone:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/optimal-state/id1604424804 The Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yoga-therapy-hour-with-amy-wheeler/id1564687158 School of Integrative Health at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool New Book Coming Out August 10th, 2026 https://www.amazon.com/Applying-Therapeutic-Yoga-Integrative-Health/dp/1032888628/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RFZ3L5MCCNPH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.I7harQDOLulfRbd3dx2vVa5VUZa840PHcWB7dDiT3_bB2nravzO7_9Xs9shMhcy2Iwu0wtTA1PxeUG4TTugEQJuK_OEpvzQ-OyVvtsUkXsc.ViqLrL-EQPX7s09wZF6_2eCpLCimHa7Ohfbw-F7Yuk4&dib_tag=se&keywords=applications+in+therapeutic+yoga+wheeler&qid=1775224796&sprefix=applications+in+therapeutic+yoga+wheele%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1
