Human trafficking is an ugly reality that has been overshadowed by partisan politics in recent years, but that might begin to change, thanks to the effort of these two senators. Co-Authors of the Enhancing Detection of Human Trafficking Act, Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) discuss the importance of combating human trafficking, and what their plans are to stop it.

Welcome back to The Birth Lounge Podcast—where we challenge the status quo, ask the questions the system hopes you won't, and take your family's health seriously (without fear-mongering or fluff). In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Kelly Ryerson, co-executive director of American ReGen and founder of Glyphosate Facts. With degrees from Dartmouth and Stanford, Kelly brings the heat and the receipts on one of the most important (and honestly, infuriating) topics in modern health: glyphosate. Yup, that's the same chemical in Roundup—the most widely used pesticide on Earth. And spoiler alert: it's likely in your pantry right now. We dive deep into: The truth about glyphosate's impact on your gut, your mental health, and your baby's long-term development How companies like Monsanto (now Bayer) are still running the show—and why we can't trust the system to keep us safe What you can do today to reduce your exposure (hello, water filters + better food choices) Why baby food is a big red flag (yes, even organic) What's actually happening on farms, and how regenerative practices can change the game This episode is part science, part scandal, and fully focused on helping you take back control of your health—because no one is coming to do that for you. If you've ever wondered what's actually in your food, how it's affecting your hormones, fertility, or your growing baby, or why the U.S. is behind other countries in banning toxic chemicals… This is your episode.

This is the fourth episode of Overcoming Polarisation: Paths to Common Ground, a podcast series from Debating Europe, Friends of Europe's citizen engagement unit. In this episode, we're discussing how citizens can influence climate policy. Europe is feeling fractured. Whether it's politics, climate, tech, or trust in institutions, more and more people are feeling left out, unheard, and uncertain about the future. But what if we could flip the script? What if instead of fuelling division, we looked for common ground? In this series, we're diving into the real issues behind polarisation. Economic inequality, climate anxiety, digital disruption, and bringing together voices from across the spectrum. From policymakers, activists, business leaders, and most importantly, citizens' voices via our latest study “Voices for Choices”. In today's show, former host Catarina Vila Nova sat down with Chloé Mikolajczak, an environmental and social justice activist bridging European policy and grassroots organising, to discuss the accessibility of a more sustainable life, inspiring figures driving a greener future, and the divide between citizens' desires and institutions' willingness to act. Host Sabina Șancu spoke with Graham Smith, professor of politics at the University of Westminster, about climate assemblies – a unique model for citizen participation in policymaking.

While President Trump was successful in passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, he did so by only a narrow margin, an emerging pattern representative of a divided Congress. For Co-Chairs of the Problem Solvers Caucus, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY), the problem doesn't lie with President Trump's ideas, but rather with the lack of room for compromise.   The Congressmen discuss what they do and don't support about President Trump's agenda, how the DOJ's handling of the Epstein case might affect midterms, and what message Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign sends to the rest of the Democratic party.

Host: Timothy Boston Editor: Clare Boland Common Ground Radio is an hour-long discussion of local food and organic agriculture with people here in the state of Maine and beyond. This month: According to lifelong gardener Barbara Damrosch, growing food is an undeniably radical act. In her latest book, “A Life in the Garden: Tales and Tips for Growing Food in Every Season,” Damrosch, now in her 80s, invites others to join her in tending the earth and celebrating the harvest — and she shares practical and personal advice for novice and experienced gardeners alike. This month's episode of Common Ground Radio is a special conversation with Damrosch about her new book and her life in the garden. We talked in her Brooksville, Maine, home, which she shares with Eliot Coleman. After they married in 1991, the two began collaborating in the field, as Four Season Farm, as well as on the page — similar to another iconic gardener-author duo, Helen and Scott Nearing of “Living the Good Life” fame. Damrosch counts the Nearings as a major influence on her relationship to the land, and Four Season Farm is sited on acreage previously owned by the Nearings, purchased by Coleman in 1968. List of subjects: – Homesteading – Gardening – Self-Sufficiency – History of Maine – Back to the Land Movement Guest/s: Barbara Damrosch, author of “A Life in the Garden: Tales and Tips for Growing Food in Every Season.” FMI- “A Life in the Garden: Tales and Tips for Growing Food in Every Season” by Barbara Damrosch — eliotbarbara.com/read-our-books/a-life-in-the-garden “Barbara Damrosch's Life in the Garden” — barnraisingmedia.com/barbara-damrosch-a-life-in-the-garden About the hosts: Holli Cederholm has been involved in organic agriculture since 2005 when she first apprenticed on a small farm. She has worked on organic farms in Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Scotland and Italy and, in 2010, founded a small farm focused on celebrating open-pollinated and heirloom vegetables. As the former manager of a national nonprofit dedicated to organic seed growers, she authored a peer-reviewed handbook on GMO avoidance strategies for seed growers. Holli has also been a steward at Forest Farm, the iconic homestead of “The Good Life” authors Helen and Scott Nearing; a host of “The Farm Report” on Heritage Radio Network; and a lo0ng-time contributor for The Maine Organic Farmer & Gardener, which she now edits in her role as content creator and editor at MOFGA.

Former Obama speechwriter and bestselling author David Litt joins Dave Prodan on The Lineup to talk about his newest and most personal project yet, It's Only Drowning: A True Story of Learning to Surf and a Search for Common Ground. Litt opens up about how a pandemic-era battle with depression led him into the ocean, and how a mismatched surf adventure with his brother-in-law Matt became an unlikely bridge across political, personal, and cultural divides. From his first freezing New Jersey paddle-outs in a 5/4 wetsuit to wipeouts in 8-10 foot Zurriola in Spain, Litt shares a raw, humorous, and deeply human journey into surfing from the outside in and explores how surfing restructured his sense of time, identity, and connection.

A conversation with Anat Shenker-Osorio, founder of A.S.O. Communications, a progressive political communication bureau known for slogans such as “Don't take the temperature, change it” and “A great message doesn't say what's already popular; a great message makes popular what needs to be said".We try so hard in the regenerative (and probably any other progressive) space to work on our messaging, how to communicate, how to reach people inside our bubble and beyond. We try to speak to those within the agrochemical and food industry, to make them see how environmentally sound, healthy, and economically interesting a different food and agriculture system could be. But somehow, we haven't gotten very far. We're constantly out-lobbied and outsmarted by the very well-organised extractive ag industry. (No, this isn't an evil conspiracy, but it is definitely well-organised.)With Anat we dive deep into the world of effective campaigning, messaging, and communication. Because we're always going to be up against a much higher budget, but let's at least use the airspace we do have as effectively as possible.But we've got news for you: most people don't want to join the losing team. So, stop communicating like we've already lost. Start getting people to join the small but winning team. Don't deny reality and never lie. But do understand what makes people listen, and more importantly, what makes them take action: consume differently, protest, organise, vote (if you can).Because in the end, this is all about who has the power.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Ever feel like your brain just won't quit, and traditional meditation only makes it worse? Thinkydoers host Sara Lobkovich gets it. She lives mostly in her head, and practices like meditation or breathwork have often felt out of reach. They seemed like they were designed for people who are naturally calm and centered — not her.But this conversation with Chauna Bryant shifted everything. Chauna is a trauma-informed breathwork professional, and founder of Breath Liberation Society. She also describes herself as “probably the least chill meditation teacher you'll ever meet.”Together, they explore how breathwork can offer a more accessible entry point for overthinkers and busy brains. Instead of forcing stillness, breathwork gives the mind something active to focus on — what Chauna compares to “giving your brain an iPad” to occupy it — while the body does its own work.They also talk about how breathwork differs from traditional meditation, why it's particularly helpful for people with trauma histories, and how starting small (even just two breaths or two minutes) can be helpful.If mindfulness has ever felt like it wasn't made for your kind of mind, this episode is for you.Episode Highlights:Why breathwork succeeds where traditional meditation fails for many peopleThe difference between activating and calming breathwork techniquesHow to start a somatic practice when you're resistant to body-based workTrauma-informed approaches to breathwork and nervous system regulationThe power of "titration" - starting with just 2 minutes instead of diving inWhy consent and agency are crucial in breathwork practiceUnderstanding breathwork as "nervous system pushups" for stress resilienceKey Concepts Explored:Conscious connected breathing and three-part breath techniquesThe origins and cultural lineages of breathwork practicesHow breathwork allows nonverbal processing of emotions and traumaThe importance of finding trauma-informed, skilled practitionersWhy patience becomes "your first form of body connection"Common Questions Answered:What exactly is breathwork and how is it different from meditation?How can I start if I'm resistant to body-based practices?Is breathwork safe for people with trauma history?What should I expect from my first breathwork experience?Notable Quotes: “Breathwork gives the brain something to do. It's just weird enough that it helps the body start to process what we've shelved or ignored.” — Chauna Bryant [00:04:00]“Whatever you're doing, try like a minute. Try two minutes. Give it two minutes and then get out. That's the way to start to build that body connection.” — Chauna Bryant [00:14:00]“For a lot of us with busy brains, patience is going to be our first form of body connection.” — Chauna Bryant [00:16:00]“Just let the experience exist without having to slap words on it.” — Chauna Bryant [00:31:00]“In breathwork, you get to choose as much or as little as you do—and whatever you choose, you'll be cheered on fiercely.” — Chauna Bryant [00:34:00]Chapters:[00:00:00] Introduction: Welcome to Thinkydoers and Meet Chauna Bryant[00:02:00] What is Breathwork? Active Meditation for Busy Brains[00:05:00] Origins and Cultural Lineages of Breathwork Practices[00:06:00] From Brain-Centered to Body-Aware: Sara and Chauna's Common Ground[00:08:00] Chauna's Journey: From Gymnast to "Least Chill Meditation Teacher"[00:11:00] The Meditation Failure and Discovering Breathwork[00:12:00] Getting Started: Overcoming Resistance to Somatic Practices[00:15:00] Perfectionism and All-or-Nothing Thinking in Body

Filmmaker, environmental advocate and Ojai neighbor Rebecca Tickell joins us to talk about storytelling as activism and how she and her husband, Josh Tickell, are using their cameras and their land at Big Picture Ranch to shift the global conversation on food, farming, and the future.From the Netflix hit Kiss the Ground to its award-winning follow-up Common Ground — and the hyper-local lens of Regenerate Ojai — Rebecca shares what it takes to grow a movement, one compost pile and one story at a time. We dig into the power of regenerative agriculture, why it matters for our community, and how Ojai can lead by example.Rebecca grew up a farm girl in Vermont, where she became a lifelong environmentalist. Identified early for acting talent, she earned high praise in her childhood for her star turn in the nostalgic holiday film "Prancer," but pivoted to directing when she and Josh teamed up for "Fuel" and other films taking on Big Oil. We talked about Ojai's role as a test case for a sustainable, inclusive, healthy future. We did not talk about condor restoration, trout-fishing pioneers Dame Julia Berners and Isaac Walton or the Who's rock-opera "Tommy."Check out more about Big Picture Ranch at BigPictureRanch.com, where they are hard at work on the third installment of the soils trilogy, with "Groundswell."

In the face of mounting challenges, 40 leaders from across the livestock industry convened at the Common Ground Summit April 23–25 at Denver’s Brown Palace Hotel. Their shared mission: to safeguard rural communities, ensure America’s food independence and preserve a way of life central to the nation’s agricultural heritage. Today, we hear from some of the leaders who are involved with the historic movement. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our common ground isn't our shared perspective, our shared opinion or even our shared experience. What truly brings us together and unites our hearts, is our shared connection with Jesus.

Our health and the health of our soil are deeply intertwined. Modern agriculture has become heavily dependent on synthetic inputs and industrial practices that strip the land of vitality, and the farmers of agency. Many farmers no longer eat what they grow, suffer from poor health, and experience alarming rates of depression and suicide. But there's a path forward: regenerative farming not only restores soil health and increases nutrient density in food, it also revitalizes rural communities and offers economic resilience. By reconnecting with natural systems and rebuilding diversity in our soil, food, and microbiomes, we reclaim both ecological balance and human well-being. In this episode, I discuss, along with Allen Williams, Dr. Daphne Miller, and Ian Somerhalder the many facets of modern-day farming, including what we need to pay attention to and why we need to reclaim our soil. Allen Williams is a founding partner of Understanding Ag, LLC and the Soil Health Academy, and is a partner in Joyce Farms, Inc. He has consulted with more than 4,000 farmers and ranchers in the US and other countries, on operations ranging from a few acres to over 1 million acres. Allen and his partners pioneered many of the early regenerative agriculture principles and practices and now teach those to farmers globally. He is a “recovering academic,” having served 15 years on the faculty at Louisiana Tech University and Mississippi State University teaching genetics and physiology. Allen has been featured in the Carbon Nation film series, Soil Carbon Cowboys, on the Dr. Oz show, ABC Food Forecast News, and in Kiss The Ground, A Regenerative Secret, The Farmer's Footprint film series, and the Sacred Cow film series.  Dr. Daphne Miller is a practicing family physician, Clinical Professor at the University of California San Francisco, and Founder of the Health from the Soil Up Initiative. She is the author of two books: The Jungle Effect: Healthiest Diets from Around the World and Farmacology: Total Health from the Soil Up. A pioneer in the “Healthy Parks, Healthy People” initiative, Miller helped build linkages between our medical system and our park system and writes her patients “park prescriptions” to get outdoors. She also developed a soil learning lab for health professionals at Paicines Ranch in Hollister California. Ian Somerhalder is an American actor, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. Best known for his iconic roles on "Lost" and "The Vampire Diaries," he is co-founder of The Absorption Company (a revolutionary supplement company formulated for increased absorption) and co-owner of Brother's Bond Bourbon. His recent work includes executive producing the documentary "Common Ground" (2023), which highlights regenerative agriculture's innovative solutions to combat climate change.

As President Trump calls on American companies to ramp up domestic production and reduce reliance on countries like China, many lawmakers are welcoming the push — seeing it as an alignment with priorities they've been working on for years. Today, Bret revisits his conversation with Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL), who have been leading the charge to bring shipbuilding back to America. They discuss how public-private partnerships and strategic incentives can jumpstart the industry, the critical role naval power plays on the global stage, and why investing in shipbuilding is not just an economic boost — but a matter of national security.  Follow Bret on X: @BretBaier Learn more about your ad choices.

Coming out of Memorial Day Weekend, Americans across the country are reminded of just how many men and women have valiantly sacrificed their lives for the nation. In the eyes of Congressman Jake Ellzey (R-TX) and Congressman Don Davis (D-NC), the two veterans who co-chair the Four Country Caucus, the least we can do is ensure their families, and the veterans who return from war are taken care of. Today, Rep. Ellzey and Rep. Davis share how they've worked across the aisle on efforts to support veterans through meaningful legislation—efforts that have contributed to a record-low rate of veteran homelessness in the United States. They also discuss the encouraging increase being seen in military recruitment and how they work to put country over party on Capitol Hill.

We cover several worrying provisions in the U.S. Budget Reconciliation bill; how the outdoor community helped get some of the worst additions removed from the current version; and why there's still a need for all of us to take action to ensure that our public lands are responsibly managed and utilized in the future.RELATED LINKS:Contact Your SenatorsGet Yourself Covered: BLISTER+Details on the Budget BillSenate Energy & Natural Resources Committee: MembersMore Info on Ambler RoadAnalysis from Outdoor AlliancePublic Land Use Polling DataTOPICS & TIMES:New BLISTER+ Members (2:07)Recent Developments re: Public Lands (4:33)Ambler Road Development (13:18)What's Still In This Bill & the Boundary Waters Mine (18:06)Mandatory Oil, Gas, & Coal Leasing + Lower Royalty Fees (20:30)Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (22:51)Pay-To-Play Environmental Review Changes (28:04)Calling Your Representatives (37:37)Public Lands Are A Bipartisan Issue (41:25)CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTED Bikes & Big IdeasGEAR:30 Hosted on Acast.
