Sacred Window Podcast: Nurturing Awareness in Postpartum Care
In this episode of the Sacred Window Podcast, Christine Eck sits down with postpartum doula and lactation consultant Daisi Kuuse from Estonia to explore the identity of the “strong woman” and how this role can shape the postpartum experience.Many women are raised to be independent, capable, and resilient. They hold families together, solve problems, and carry responsibilities without asking for help. But pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum window often reveal something deeper — healing after birth requires support, rest, and the willingness to receive care.Daisi shares her personal journey through miscarriage, birth, and postpartum recovery, as well as what she has witnessed while supporting families in her community. Together, Christine and Daisi discuss the cultural expectations placed on mothers, the hidden burden of always being strong, and why postpartum care is essential for maternal healing and wellbeing.This episode offers an important reminder: strength does not disappear in motherhood — it simply takes a new form. Sometimes the most powerful step a mother can take is allowing herself to be supported.In This EpisodeWhat it means to carry the identity of the “strong woman”How generational and cultural patterns shape motherhoodPregnancy loss and surrendering control in birthThe emotional and physical vulnerability of postpartumBreastfeeding challenges and early motherhood realitiesWhy asking for help can feel so difficult for many mothersHow postpartum planning can create a foundation of supportThe role of community care in maternal healingAbout Daisi:Daisi is a mother, postpartum doula, and lactation consultant from Estonia, supporting families with compassionate guidance, practical help, and evidence-based knowledge. She offers postpartum doula support, breastfeeding guidance, baby care, early parenting support, and parent education both online and in homes, as well as postpartum treatments and nurturing baby showers in person.Links:Neljas Trimester – sünnitusjärgne tugi, imetamisnõustaja, beebipiduAre you feeling the call to know more about Conscious Postpartum Care?Reach out!

Tahra Zafar is a costume and creature effects designer. She designed the Paddington Bear puppet featured in the hit West End production Paddington: The Musical.Born into a theatre family, she grew up with an Armenian American father who worked as a choreographer in the first West End production of West Side Story, and a mother who moved from a career as a ballerina to theatre work around the world. Her interest in making began early, helping her father with practical projects such as restoring their house, even learning to build walls and spending her spare time model making, with Airfix creations suspended from her bedroom ceiling.After studying theatre design at Central Saint Martins, she began her career making theatre costumes. She spent some time at the Jim Henson creature workshop where she made some of the creatures for the first Harry Potter film including Hedwig the owl and Scabbers the rat.After her daughter was born, Tahra worked on some of the characters for In the Night Garden with her daughter, a willing judge of what worked for toddlers. In 2012, Tahra was in charge of 23,000 costumes for the London 2012 Olympic opening and closing ceremonies.

Sacred Window Podcast: Nurturing Awareness in Postpartum Care
There are seasons when life stretches us beyond what we thought we could hold.In this conversation, Christine shares openly about mothering four sons, discovering Ayurveda, and answering the quiet but persistent call to restore reverence to the postpartum window. What began as her own search for healing after early motherhood slowly unfolded into a vocation—one rooted in ancient wisdom, embodied presence, and the Universal Mother Principles.Together, we explore motherhood not simply as a role, but as initiation. We speak about the courage it takes to do hard things—whether you are a sixth grader walking into something new, or a woman standing at the edge of a calling that won't leave her alone.This episode is for the woman who feels the longing for meaningful, heart-led work. For the mother healing her own postpartum story. For the birth worker seeking depth beyond technique. And for anyone who senses that caregiving—when done consciously—is sacred work.In this episode, we reflect on:Motherhood as a path of spiritual growthDiscovering Ayurveda as remembered wisdomThe sacred postpartum window as a threshold of transformationGrowing a caregiving practice through relationship, not hustleThe Universal Mother Principles as a foundation for life and serviceTrusting the inner voice that calls us forwardIf you find yourself in a season of quiet yearning, you are not alone. The path will teach you. And sometimes, it begins with simply listening.Connect with Christine and explore conscious postpartum education at the Center for Sacred Window Studies.We are more powerful in community than in isolation.About Grace:Grace Allerdice is a spiritual writer, teacher, healer, and facilitator; and is currently on a multi-year initiatory path to become an ordained Priestess.

Over a six-month period from October 2024 until March 2025, CEAS Associate Director David Fields had the incredible opportunity to record an extensive oral history with Hyuk YU, emeritus professor of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. While he is best known as a chemist, this oral history focused on Professor Yu's early life in Korea. Born in 1933, Professor YU was an eye-witness to many of the historical events that shaped the Korean peninsula in the first half of the 20th century. In this episode, we will discuss his experiences during the opening weeks of the Korean War. Unlike millions of other Koreans, Professor YU's family chose not to flee further south during the war, but to ride out the conflict in Incheon. This decision surely spared them from some hardships, but exposed them to others. This episode was co-produced, edited, and mastered by Nate Gass. Jihoon Suk selected, restored, and digitally transferred the music on this episode.

Sacred Window Podcast: Nurturing Awareness in Postpartum Care
There are moments in a woman's life that shape her quietly, permanently.Birth is one of them.In this episode, we explore the truth that how we birth matters — not just in outcome, but in experience. Not just in safety, but in imprint.Birth is more than a clinical event. It is a rite of passage. It is an initiation that touches the nervous system, identity, embodiment, and the bond between mother and baby. And when that initiation is rushed, over-managed, or unsupported, the body remembers.We speak about the subtle but powerful imprint of birth — how women internalize whether they felt heard, whether they felt safe, whether they felt like participants in their own becoming. We reflect on how these early experiences shape postpartum healing, maternal confidence, and even generational patterns.Because birth does not end when the baby arrives.It continues in the sacred postpartum window.This window is not simply about recovery. It is about integration. It is where warmth, nourishment, rest, and conscious care help a woman metabolize one of the most significant thresholds of her life. When we protect this time, we protect the mother's nervous system. We protect attachment. We protect the emotional tone of a family.And when it is not protected, many women carry stories that remain tender for years.In this conversation, we also speak to those who feel called to serve in this work. Many caregivers come to postpartum support because of their own experiences — because something in them knows that it could have been different. That it should have been different. That we can do better for women.This is not about blame.It is about remembering.Remembering that birth is sacred.Remembering that postpartum is foundational.Remembering that conscious caregiving shapes generations.If you feel something stirring as you listen — a memory, a longing, a quiet yes — we invite you to stay with that. Often the call to this work begins as a whisper.At the Center for Sacred Window Studies, we are devoted to restoring reverence, nourishment, and embodied wisdom to the postpartum time through Ayurveda and the Universal Mother Principles. We train heart-led women to offer conscious, grounded postpartum care that bridges ancient tradition and modern understanding.This work is practical.This work is embodied.This work is deeply needed.You are not alone in feeling the weight and beauty of it.In This Episode We Explore:• Why the way we birth leaves a lasting imprint• Birth as rite of passage, not just medical event• The connection between birth experience and nervous system regulation• The sacred postpartum window as a time of integration• How conscious caregiving supports generational healing• The quiet call many women feel toward postpartum workAbout Carrie:Carrie Lavie is a Clinical Nutritionist and certified Ayurvedic Practitioner from London, Ontario, who has dedicated three decades to the study of healing arts, including specialized training in perinatal Ayurvedic protocols through The Sacred Window.

What if this beautiful day is just a dream? What if it's a story contrived by someone with ulterior motives? What does a guy gotta do to get some shut-eye around here? Listen to find out!On the Gunny Side of the Street, episode 146 of This Gun in My Hand, was brought to light by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. With what do I pierce the veil between our illusory existence and the dark truth underlying it all? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. For Cherry Pachyderm's arguments that chili does not exist, listen to episode 73, “Escalating Pitch.”https://archive.org/details/tgimh-73-escalating-pitch2. In an earlier episode, Cherry Pachyderm describes the emblem on his chest as a cherry tree. The elephant is hiding in the cherry tree so you can't see it. People were confused by his emblem and started calling him “Cherry Tree,” so he changed it to a red elephant at some point. [This is a retcon. Outside of the story, I just forgot what his emblem was and thought it was always an elephant. I caught this mistake before recording the episode and wrote dialog for him to explain it, but it was too boring. Now it's a little lagniappe for people who read the show notes!]3.

Over a six-month period from October 2024 until March 2025, CEAS Associate Director David Fields had the incredible opportunity to record an extensive oral history with Hyuk YU, emeritus professor of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. While he is best known as a chemist, this oral history focused on Professor Yu's early life in Korea. Born in 1933, Professor YU was an eye-witness to many of the historical events that shaped the Korean peninsula in the first half of the 20th century. In this episode, we will discuss his family's experience under Soviet occupation, their flight from North Korea communism, and their life in South Korea as North Korean refugees.

Sacred Window Podcast: Nurturing Awareness in Postpartum Care
At six weeks postpartum, many mothers are told they are “cleared.”Cleared to exercise.Cleared to return to work.Cleared to resume life as it was before.But what if postpartum isn't something that ends at six weeks?In this episode, we explore what Western medicine often overlooks — and why the Ayurvedic understanding of the sacred postpartum window offers a deeper, more complete view of healing.Through the lens of Ayurveda and the Universal Mother Principles, I share:Why postpartum is a year of transformation, not a brief recoveryThe meaning of “42 days for 42 years”The difference between pathology-based care and prevention through nourishmentHow depletion in early postpartum can echo for decadesWhy the nervous system, digestion, and emotional integration matter just as much as physical healingThis conversation is not about rejecting modern medicine. It is about restoring reverence to a threshold that shapes a woman's life for years to come.If you are a mother, a birth professional, or a woman quietly feeling called to support families in deeper ways, this episode will speak to that knowing inside you.Postpartum is not simply a medical event.It is a sacred window of becoming.You are not meant to walk through it alone.Are you feeling the call to know more about Conscious Postpartum Care?Reach out! Schedule a time with Christine to find out how this work can transform your care business or provide a meaningful career path.Here is the link to our free class@sacredwindowstudiesJoin our Facebook GroupPodcast Music is Composed by Sara Emmitt, graduate of the Center for Sacred Window Studies.

In this episode of One Symphony, conductor Devin Patrick Hughes sits down with acclaimed film and television composer Lesley Barber for a wide-ranging, behind-the-scenes conversation about writing music that reveals what characters can't say out loud. Lesley shares how improvising and composing before formal training shaped her voice, how pop, R&B, and composers like Schubert, Bach, and Chopin influenced her musical language, and why her chamber-score approach to Maurice Sendak's Little Bear became so enduring that listeners now pass it down to the next generation. The conversation then dives deep into Manchester by the Sea—from the time-crunch sprint to Sundance, to recording her daughter's a cappella vocals in a dorm room for intimate “in-your-head” sound, then expanding into a large hall for an almost omniscient sense of space. Along the way, Lesley unpacks her fascination with fate, time, and music that can feel “mathematical” yet emotionally unavoidable, and why the most powerful film music often lives in the story's absences—making the invisible audible. Devin and Lesley also explore international orchestras, building creative teams across time zones, writing the Late Nighttheme under extreme deadline pressure, and what the future could look like for film music in the concert hall. Music Selections Featured in This Episode “Boarding School Titles” from the film Boarding School. Composed and performed by Lesley Barber. “Sentimental Journey” from the film Mansfield Park.

Keren Ann was born in Israel, spent her early years in the Netherlands, and later moved to France. The daughter of a Russian-Jewish father and a Dutch-Javanese mother, she grew up multilingual and deeply aware that identity, language, and place are always in motion. She began writing songs as a teenager and, by her mid-twenties, was already making her living as a professional songwriter — thanks in part to an unexpected collaboration with the legendary French singer Henri Salvador, for whom she co-wrote several late-career songs, including the hit "Jardin d'hiver." From her debut album La Biographie de Luka Philipsen, Keren Ann established herself as a distinctive writer, singer, and producer. Over the next two decades, she moved fluidly between French and English, between Europe and New York, releasing a body of work shaped by solitude, curiosity, and an openness to change. Along the way, her songs have been recorded by artists including Iggy Pop and Jane Birkin, and she has collaborated with musicians such as David Byrne, Questlove, and Barði Jóhannsson. In 2025, she released Paris Amour, an album inspired by and written from Paris, but not a record about Paris. Composed from her apartment in Montmartre, overlooking the city, the songs reflect a creative process rooted less in place than in solitude. Paris Amour is shaped by stillness and interior life. It's a record that acknowledges its surroundings while turning inward. In this conversation, recorded in Paris, Keren Ann reflects on creativity, solitude, and the shift from inspiration to discipline, and on why, after twenty-five years, the process still matters. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story
Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Caneiro brothers were supposed to be best friends. They were each other's best man. They talked every day. They built a business together. But prosecutors say one brother was bleeding the other dry — stealing from his life insurance trust, doctoring bank statements, living a $700,000 lifestyle funded by fraud. When Keith Caneiro finally demanded answers about missing money, prosecutors allege Paul responded by driving to his brother's Colts Neck mansion in the predawn darkness and executing the entire family.Keith was shot five times on the front lawn. Jennifer was shot and stabbed inside. The children — eleven-year-old Jesse and eight-year-old Sophia — were stabbed repeatedly. A detective testified that Sophia had a stab wound to her left eye. Prosecutors say both kids were still alive when the fire started. They died from smoke inhalation while bleeding out in their own home.Then, according to the state, Paul went home and set his own house on fire — with his wife and daughters inside — to make it look like both families were being targeted. When first responders arrived, the family was outside. Officers testified they were sitting in one of the family's cars, a Porsche. Calm. Composed. Giving statements.The evidence trail prosecutors have laid out is staggering: the murder weapon in his basement, DNA evidence on clothing, altered bank records, security footage showing him disabling cameras at 1:28 AM. This is a case about masks — the kind a man wears when he's pretending to be successful, and the kind that slips when the lie finally catches up.#PaulCaneiro #ColtsNeckMurders #MansionMurders #FamilyAnnihilator #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #KeithCaneiro #NewJerseyMurder #SiblingRivalry #MonmouthCountyTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius was one of the medieval world's most popular and widely translated texts. Composed in Syriac in Mesopotamia in the seventh century, this supposed revelation presented a new, salvific role for the Roman Empire, whose last emperor, it prophesied, would help bring about the end of the ages. In this first book-length study of Pseudo-Methodius, Christopher J. Bonura uncovers the under-appreciated Syriac origins of this apocalyptic tract, revealing it as a remarkable response to political realities faced by Christians living under a new Islamic regime. Tracing the spread of Pseudo-Methodius from the early medieval Mediterranean to its dissemination via the printing presses of early modern Europe, Bonura then demonstrates how different cultures used this new vision of empire's role in the end times to reconfigure their own realities. The book also features a new, complete, and annotated English translation of the Syriac text of Pseudo-Methodius. New books in Late Antiquity is Presented by Ancient Jew Review. Christopher J. Bonura is Assistant Professor of History at Mount St. Mary's University in Maryland, and Visiting Assistant Professor Costigan Distinguished Lecturer at the University of Washington.

Margaret Atwood is a Canadian writer. She has published more than sixty books spanning novels, poetry, short stories, non-fiction, children's literature, and graphic novels, and has been called “one of the sharpest and most imaginative novelists writing in English”. She is one of only four writers to have won the Booker Prize twice: for The Blind Assassin in 2000 and for her 2019 follow-up to The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments.Margaret was born in Ottawa in November 1939, shortly after the outbreak of World War II, the second of three children to Carl Atwood, an entomologist. During her early life, she would spend the warmer months in the remote forests of northern Quebec and Ontario where her father tracked insect infestations, and the winters in the city (first Ottawa, later Toronto). She didn't attend school for a full year until the age of twelve.Her childhood scribblings – a “novel” about an ant called Annie, a volume of rhyming poems about cats, and a play about a giant – turned into a more serious ambition to become a writer when Margaret was sixteen. After studying English at the University of Toronto, where she began publishing poems in the college magazine, her first novel, The Edible Woman, came out in 1969, following five collections of poetry. Her most famous work, The Handmaid's Tale, was published in 1985 and depicted a dystopian vision of the United States as a patriarchal and totalitarian place called Gilead. Although it was written during the Reagan era, it has become eerily relevant again in the wake of the election of Donald Trump. Margaret lost her life partner, the writer Graeme Gibson, in 2019. She lives in Toronto.DISC ONE: Anchors Aweigh - US Navy Band DISC TWO: Hearts of Stone - The Charms DISC THREE: Offenbach: Les contes d'Hoffmann, Giulietta Act: Barcarolle.
