What happens when a pharma trainer, academic workshop lead, and high school teacher are all the same person? You get a blueprint for science education that actually prepares students for real biotech work. We sit down with Maria Bennes, a biotech instructor at Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational High School, to unpack how tailored communication, hands-on practice, and community support turn nervous ninth graders into lab-ready talent.Maria traces the throughline of her career—education as audience-aware communication—from teaching doctors and patients about new therapies to running stem cell workshops for researchers, and now guiding teens through tissue culture, ELISAs, and bioreactors. She explains why BioBuilder stands out: a soup-to-nuts ecosystem of curriculum, purchasing pathways, troubleshooting support, and an active community that helps teachers deliver impactful labs under real-world constraints. The result is a PD model that's flexible, accessible, and grounded in biomanufacturing fundamentals like aseptic technique, upstream processes, and quality mindset.We also dive into the vocational program design that mirrors a workday: safety briefings, lab coats on, then hours of wet lab practice. Students earn OSHA 10, ACS safety, and Six Sigma micro-credentials while mastering pipetting, chromatography, Western blots, gel electrophoresis, transformations, and transfections. With equipment like biosafety cabinets, CO2 incubators, spectrophotometers, and small bioreactors, learners build muscle memory and judgment—not just vocabulary. The culture reframes “failure” as iteration, so confidence grows alongside competence.If you care about STEM pipelines, workforce readiness, or simply making science feel possible, this conversation offers practical takeaways for teachers, students, and industry partners. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review with the one lab skill you think every student should learn first.Learn more about BioBuilder's programs for students, educators, and industry professionals here

The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It's hosted by Liv Bolton. In this episode, Liv Bolton is in the beautiful Wythenshawe Park in Greater Manchester with someone who's truly impacting lives through nature — Beth Craigen. Beth is an Outdoors Youth Worker for the charity Nacro Greater Manchester Outdoor Learning, a qualified Lowland Leader, and a dedicated volunteer who seems to live and breathe the outdoors. The park is her classroom, her community hub, and the heart of so much of her work. Her passion for nature has helped hundreds of young people discover confidence and connection outside, and she's opening doors for women from diverse communities — breaking down barriers that often stand in the way of accessing green spaces. A couple of weeks ago, Beth took Liv on an autumnal tour of the park's 270 acres — from quiet woodlands to the vegetable patch— and she shared her journey into outdoor education. They talked about everything from mountain biking and bushcraft to tree identification and the magic of helping others find their own love of the outdoors. They even bumped into one of her special colleagues! We hope you enjoy the conversation — and a big thank you to Beth!

This conversation was first recorded for Homeopathy is Changing Lives with the brilliant Wren Lloyd, and I'm delighted to share it here with you here on What Heals. I also encourage you to check out Wren's podcast — she's doing incredible work and you can find it here.Wren and I go deep into how homeopathy can be the ultimate form of preventative medicine.

And yes — we even touch on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., homeoprophylaxis, and what might be possible if mainstream medicine truly opened its doors.Resources MentionedWren's website: International Homeopaths for AutismWren's podcast: Homeopathy is Changing LivesWant the inside scoop on Lisa's game-changing Practitioner-level course launching in January 2026?

Host: Elaine Kurceba Guests: Phil Winand and Dale Johnson Description: This episode features Willow Valley residents Elaine Kurceba, Dale Johnson, and Phil Winand discussing the concept and practice of global volunteerism.

It's easy to forget how something as simple as a pair of shoes can change a life. But for vulnerable children around the world, shoes mean protection, dignity, and the chance to dream.Today, we'll hear how Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls is meeting this need with the love of Christ. Shawn Spurrier joins us to share the incredible impact that is being made all around the world, one pair of shoes at a time.Shawn Spurrier is the Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls at Buckner International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Heart of Buckner InternationalFounded in Dallas, Texas, Buckner International has been serving vulnerable children, families, and seniors for more than 146 years. Their mission is clear: to follow the example of Jesus by serving the most vulnerable in every phase of life. From foster care and adoption to family-strengthening programs and senior care, Buckner demonstrates Christ's love in tangible ways.The Shoes for Orphan Souls initiative began 25 years ago in Dallas as a small effort to provide children in orphanages with something they lacked: their own pair of shoes. Many had to borrow communal shoes from a basket just to attend school.Since then, the ministry has distributed more than 5 million pairs of shoes in 86 countries. These shoes do more than protect feet—they open doors to health, education, dignity, and the hope of Christ.Why Shoes MatterA new pair of shoes provides more than comfort:Health Protection – In many regions, shoes prevent devastating illnesses like hookworm or podoconiosis.Access to Education – In many countries, schools require shoes as part of their uniform, making footwear a key factor in attending class.Economic Stability – Protecting children from illness reduces financial strain on families already in vulnerable situations.Hope and Dignity – Every pair is delivered with prayer, encouragement, and the gospel, often through partnerships with local churches.Stories of TransformationShawn shared two moving stories that reveal the ministry's impact:Romina in Mexico – A seven-year-old girl was overwhelmed with tears when she realized someone cared enough to give her a pair of shoes. That moment reminded Sean why this work matters—it's a tangible expression of Christ's love. Dulce in Guatemala – An eight-year-old girl received pink-and-white shoes so she could attend school. That simple gift opened the door for her family to receive housing, literacy training for her mother, and ultimately, salvation and discipleship for her father.A small act of generosity became the seed of a transformed family story.Your Opportunity to GiveThis month, we're partnering with Buckner to put shoes on the feet of 1,000 children worldwide. Each pair represents health, education, dignity, and an opportunity for children and families to hear the gospel.$15 provides a pair of shoes.$150 provides shoes for 10 children.You can be part of this life-changing work by visiting GiveShoesToday.org. Together, we can share the love of Christ one pair of shoes at a time.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm retiring and turning 65 in February. Right now, I'm covered by my employer's health insurance, but I'm running into issues with prescription coverage. Should I sign up for Medicare now, keep my employer insurance as primary, and then wait until my younger wife becomes eligible for Medicare?I've managed to pay off all my credit card debt, but now my mortgage company has started foreclosure proceedings. They're demanding $2,160, and I'm not sure how to handle it. The FDIC says they shouldn't be taking this action, but I haven't received any formal notification yet.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Buckner Shoes for Orphan SoulsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Dr. Rebecca Bockow is a highly skilled clinician who has achieved dual board certification as both a Periodontist and Orthodontist.Her exceptional expertise and dedication have allowed her to build a thriving practice, even in a challenging market.Dr. Bockow's success can be attributed to her ability to seamlessly integrate scientifically-based airway orthodontics into her practice, as well as her remarkable ability to balance a busy professional and personal life.While airway orthodontics has gained some recognition and acceptance, it is important to acknowledge that there are orthodontists who remain skeptical about this approach.Some orthodontists express skepticism due to what they claim is relatively limited scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of airway orthodontics.They argue that more robust studies and long-term data are needed to establish the effectiveness and durability of these treatments.I was one of these skeptics for a long time until Dr. Rebecca Bockow managed to open my eyes with the help of mainstream literature from places like Stanford, which is as compelling and legitimate as anything I've seen in orthodontics.In this episode in our Greatest Hits series, we get the chance to hear Dr. Bockow take us through Airway Orthodontics, the literature behind it, how it differentiates your practice, and, most importantly, the life-changing impact it has on our patients.Tune in!Key TakeawaysMeet Dr. Rebecca Bockow (01:31)The secret sauce to stand out and grow your practice (08:46)Interdisciplinary cases to set you apart (10:30)What exactly is Airway Orthodontics?
