    Every Midsummer's Eve, a sparrow flies into the Owens house and circles three times before being ushered back out—an omen, a tradition, and a mystery woven through all four books in the Practical Magic series. In this enchanting episode, we unravel the deeper meaning of the sparrow: as a messenger of liminal spaces, a symbol of the Threefold Law, and a harbinger of magical thresholds.

Clarity is kindness; unclear expectations lead to failed associateships. Compensation should be discussed in terms of take-home pay, not just percentages. Cultural fit is crucial for successful associate relationships. Associates should ask about practice growth and performance history. Hiring should focus on long-term goals, not just immediate needs. Continuous communication is essential to prevent misunderstandings. Hunger and integrity are unteachable qualities in associates. Practice owners should be transparent about financials and opportunities. Shadowing can help assess cultural fit before hiring.

    How did this happen? The most dominant cultural form turned out to be the most depraved ever produced in this country or anywhere else. Researchers have discovered that the hip hop cultural form outpaced the Beatles in its pervasive and omnipresent influence upon American culture. Their study looked at differences in chords, rhythms and tonal properties over 50 years of top chart hits.

    Today we open a field of inquiry and healing around women's mental health, reclaiming wholeness, and reshaping the way we understand treatment, addiction, and embodiment.Our guest is Dr. Stacy Cohen, a double board-certified psychiatrist, addiction specialist, and founder of The Moment Health, a revolutionary holistic health and wellness clinic that integrates science, soul, and social impact.What drew me to Dr. Cohen's work is not only her clinical depth, but her fiercely compassionate, woman-centered lens, a lens that acknowledges that mental health and also addiction looks different in women, that healing must honor biology and story, and that reclaiming joy, clarity, and inner coherence is a personal, political, and spiritual act.As someone who has walked this path of healing myself, I know the power of what happens when we shift from symptom management to soul-based medicine.This conversation is not merely about treatment, it is about remembering what wholeness feels like, and choosing it again.Episode highlights:[02:00] What “fragmentation” looks like in traditional psychiatry[04:00] How The Moment Health was born[05:45] Building a collaborative care team rooted in interdependence[08:00] Why addiction and mental health look different in women[10:00] The clinical blind spot around hormones, perimenopause, and gynecological factors[13:30] Cultural differences in how menopause is experienced[16:00] Psychedelics and the danger of one-size-fits-all thinking[20:00] Embracing the middle passage: Stillness as power[23:00] The importance of interconnection between women and men[26:30] Why Dr. Cohen brought ketamine therapy into her practice[29:30] Addiction psychiatry, recovery culture, and psychedelics[33:30] Healing trauma and reinterpreting AA for female empowerment[36:00] Embracing the lioness: Anger, motherhood, and power[38:00] Returning to ancestral ways of raising children[41:00] The power of play, embodiment, and creative self-expression[43:30] Embracing duality: Complexity and simplicity in healing[44:00] Repainting the system: A new vision for women's mental health[48:00] Practical first steps for reclaiming your mental health[49:30] Honoring postmenopausal women and the second springResources mentioned:Dr Stacy Cohenhttps://www.stacycohenmd.com/The Moment Healthhttps://www.themomenthealth.com/who-we-areThe Middle Passage by James HollisAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/Middle-Passage-From-Misery-Meaning/dp/0919123600Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66679.The_Middle_PassageInternal Family Systems (IFS) – Richard SchwartzIFS Institute official site: https://ifs-institute.comIntro video on YouTube by Richard Schwartz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99NF6K8vN00Gateway Sciences / Gateway ClinicGateway Sciences: https://gatewaysciences.comGateway Clinic page: https://gatewaysciences.com/clinicSOCIAL MEDIALinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/the-moment-by-dr-stacy-cohenInstagram https://www.instagram.com/themomenthealth/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/themomenthealth/

    Summary: This conversation explores the hunting, cooking, and ecological impact of invasive species, focusing on nutria, audad, and European hares. The hosts discuss the history of these species in the U.S., their effects on local ecosystems, and the potential culinary uses of their meat. They emphasize the importance of hunting as a conservation strategy and the need to shift cultural perceptions around consuming invasive species. This conversation explores the ecological and culinary implications of invasive species, focusing on the European hare, feral horses, and wild pigs. The discussion highlights the challenges these species pose to native ecosystems and agriculture, while also considering the potential benefits of hunting and consuming them as a means of conservation. The hosts delve into cultural attitudes towards eating these animals, particularly horses, and advocate for a shift in perspective towards invasive species as a valuable food source. - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave a Review of the Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Takeaways: Wild pigs are tough, smart, and destructive. Nutria were introduced for fur farming and became invasive. Nutria cause significant damage to wetlands and crops. Hunting nutria can aid in conservation efforts. Nutria meat is lean and has a mild flavor. Cultural stigma exists around eating invasive species. Audad are invasive and threaten native species. Audad meat varies in flavor based on age and diet. European hares compete with native species for resources. European hare meat is dark, lean, and flavorful. European hares were introduced to the US for hunting and have become invasive. Feral horses are not native to North America and compete with native wildlife. Eating horse meat is culturally accepted in many countries but controversial in the US. Wild pigs are highly adaptable and cause significant ecological damage. Hunting invasive species can aid in conservation efforts and provide food security. Culinary traditions around invasive species can help shift public perception. The management of feral horses is costly and politically sensitive. Wild pigs offer a nutritious and flavorful alternative to domestic pork. Cultural attitudes towards eating certain animals can hinder conservation efforts. Engaging in culinary conservation can benefit both ecosystems and communities.

    Welcome to episode 207 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we continue in our series on Christian citizenship.  Today, we tackle the topic of cultural engagement.  Key takeaways:  As followers of Christ, we're called to a distinctive way of life that sometimes aligns with and sometimes challenges the prevailing culture.   Three principles for cultural engagement: Christians should be distinctively Christian. Christians must be engaged. Christians should be thoughtful about our influence. Three models of cultural engagement: Critical consumption - examine cultural content thoughtfully.  Common grace collaboration - God's common grace enables non-believers to create good things, discover truth, and promote justice. Counter-cultural community -  some aspects of our faith and practice will inevitably stand in contrast to the surrounding culture.  Quotable:  Compromise for the sake of relevance ultimately leads to irrelevance.   Application:  A balanced approach to cultural engagement requires wisdom and discernment. It means constantly asking questions like:  What aspects of this cultural element reflect God's truth, goodness, and beauty?  What aspects distort or contradict God's design?  How can I appreciate the good while respectfully challenging the problematic?  How can my engagement bear witness to a more excellent way?  Cultivate deep biblical knowledge. The better we understand Scripture, the more clearly we can discern what in culture aligns with or contradicts God's design. Practice intentional cultural awareness. Pay attention to the messages in the media you consume, the assumptions in the education system, and the values celebrated in entertainment. Build relationships with non-believers. Find like-minded community. Cultural engagement is challenging to sustain alone. Recognize that our ultimate goal isn't just cultural analysis or even cultural transformation, but pointing to Christ through our engagement.  Connect with us:  Web site:  https://springbaptist.org  Facebook:    https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)  https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)  Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/    If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.

    Today's guest shares her story of postpartum psychosis, including the contributing factors, navigating the healthcare system, the overall lack of understanding of PMADs, and the preventative actions she took for her second pregnancy. She shares how her experience propelled her to take considerable steps to help and support others. Nancy Di Nuzzo, a mother of two, is an accountant-turned-postpartum doula. She is the founder of Anamav Postnatal Care, an agency providing comprehensive postpartum care in the Greater Toronto area. Their services include doula support, lactation support, psychotherapy, and sleep coaching. Nancy was inspired to create Anamav after her own traumatic postpartum experiences. As a perinatal mental health advocate, she is fiercely determined to support new parents and families to help fill the gaps in our healthcare system.  Show Highlights: Nancy's first pregnancy experience with her daughter, born in 2020: In summary, sleep deprivation led to the first postpartum psychotic episode and subsequent hospitalization. The labor and delivery and the first five days postpartum, when everything changed for Nancy Feeling the intensity of hyperdrive and an overwhelming need for perfection Hallucinations (not threatening or violent) and a break from reality that prompted a call to 911 A shocking twist: The ER records showed suspected postpartum psychosis, but they still discharged Nancy and prescribed sleeping pills; she ended up back there three days later. Cultural stigma and family interference that did not help Nancy Nancy's misdiagnosis from the psychiatrist: A bipolar disorder that required lifelong medication The first night in the hospital and the traumatic events that still haunt Nancy's memories Reconnecting with her daughter after a week-long stay in the hospital Preparing for a second pregnancy with preventative measures–and finding a very different birth and postpartum experience in 2023 Nancy's perspective on what SHOULD have happened during her first pregnancy and how we can do better in the area of awareness The facts: Every postpartum journey is different; problems can happen with a first, second, or third pregnancy—or with none at all.  Anamav Postnatal and how they work to help others Resources: Connect with Nancy Di Nuzzo and Anamav Postnatal: Website and Instagram Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone or text at 1-800-944-4773.

    Leveraging Thought Leadership with Peter Winick
    Why Thought Leaders Must Learn to Lead Across Cultures | Jane Hyun | 653

    Leveraging Thought Leadership with Peter Winick

    What if cultural fluency was the leadership skill no one taught you—but every global leader needs? Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jane Hyun—global leadership strategist, executive coach, and author of three books including "Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling"—to explore how high-performing teams thrive on difference, not in spite of it. Jane shares how her early years as an immigrant in New York shaped a lifelong commitment to helping people lead across cultural lines with authenticity and impact. We unpack her concept of “cultural fluency”—the skill of working effectively with people who don't look, think, or act like you. It's not about checking boxes. It's about making the invisible visible and using difference as a leadership advantage. Jane explains how organizations often overlook deep cultural factors that influence trust, motivation, and team dynamics—and what happens when they start to notice. From keynotes to executive coaching, Jane builds frameworks that help leaders and organizations lead better, sell better, and grow smarter—especially in a world that's only becoming more complex and connected. We also talk about the emotional and intellectual work of carrying an idea like “breaking the bamboo ceiling” for over 20 years—and how thought leadership evolves when it's lived, not just taught. If you lead teams, create culture, or want to sharpen your edge as a communicator—this conversation is your wake-up call. Cultural fluency isn't optional anymore. It's mission-critical. Three Key Takeaways: • Cultural Fluency Is a Learnable Leadership Skill Cultural fluency—Jane's signature concept—isn't innate, and it's not just about surface-level etiquette. It's the ability to recognize, respect, and leverage human differences to drive better business outcomes. Leaders who develop this skill are more effective at collaboration, innovation, and navigating global complexity. • Difference Drives Performance—When It's Understood Multicultural teams only outperform homogeneous ones when leaders understand how to harness cultural differences. Suppressing difference creates friction and missed opportunity. Embracing it—with intention—unlocks trust, engagement, and results. • Thought Leadership Is a Lifelong Journey, Not a Title Jane didn't set out to become a thought leader—she followed her curiosity and passion to solve a problem she lived through. Over time, that experience evolved into frameworks, language (“breaking the bamboo ceiling,” “cultural fluency”), and a platform that empowers others. The best thought leadership emerges from lived experience, not just expertise. If today's episode sparked your thinking on cultural fluency and leading across differences, you'll want to dive into our conversation on "The Intersection of Leadership, Business, Culture, and Spirituality" with Eboni Adams Monk. It explores similar themes—like authentic leadership, navigating complexity, and creating inclusive spaces—but adds a powerful lens of purpose and spiritual alignment. Both episodes offer insight into what it really takes to lead with intention in today's diverse, fast-changing world. Don't miss it.

    Fire is a means of control and has been deployed or constrained to levy power over individuals, societies, and ecologies. In Burn Scars: A Documentary History of Fire Suppression, from Colonial Origins to the Resurgence of Cultural Burning (Oregon State UP, 2024), Pomona College professor Char Miller has edited a collection of documents and essays tracing the history of fire and human interactions in the West and across North America. Indigenous people in California and elsewhere used fire for their own benefit, allowing naturally occurring wildfires to replenish landscapes, and controlling "light burns" to better suit their own hunting, gathering, and agricultural means. It was only with the arrival of first the Spanish and then other European and American settlers that fire took on a decidedly "uncivilized" connotation. As Americans instituted fire regimes across the continent, wildfires grew larger and forests unhealthier. It's only been in recent years that Native people, using traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and settler forest science have begun to combine as a means of restoring fires as a central component of forest health.

Anthony brings a wealth of knowledge on agriculture, offering insightful tips on growing basil and how to prevent it from flowering in order to preserve its robust flavor. Our conversation delves into the fascinating intersection of cultural traditions and agricultural wisdom, with Anthony's passion for gardening shining throughout. We also take time to reflect on the cultural nuances between Italian Canadians and Italian Americans. Our discussion highlights how the more recent waves of Italian immigration to Canada have fostered a community still deeply rooted in its Italian heritage. In contrast, the Italian American experience reveals a different, though equally rich, perspective on identity and tradition. Through personal stories and historical context, we explore how these communities continue to navigate and preserve their cultural legacies.  This episode is rich with stories that span gardening practices, historical narratives, and cultural traditions. From protecting fig trees against harsh winters to the shared histories of Italian families, we unpack the unique evolution of Italian American and Italian Canadian identities. Whether you're seeking gardening tips, cultural reflections, or historical anecdotes, this conversation offers something for everyone.    Don't miss this engaging and heartfelt episode, filled with humor, warmth, and the joy of learning from Anthony's experience and enthusiasm.    HIS SOCIALS  Instagram: @theyoungnonno Youtube:  @TheYoungNonno  TIkTok: @theyoungnonno   HIS WEBSITE: https://theyoungnonno.com/

    Fire is a means of control and has been deployed or constrained to levy power over individuals, societies, and ecologies.

Indigenous people in California and elsewhere used fire for their own benefit, allowing naturally occurring wildfires to replenish landscapes, and controlling "light burns" to better suit their own hunting, gathering, and agricultural means. It was only with the arrival of first the Spanish and then other European and American settlers that fire took on a decidedly "uncivilized" connotation.

    Ever since Franz Anton Mesmer induced trance-like states in his Parisian subjects in the late eighteenth century, dressed in long purple robes, hypnosis has been associated with performance, power and the occult.  It has exerted a powerful hold over the cultural imagination, featuring in novels and films including Bram Stoker's Dracula and George du Maurier's Trilby - and it was even practiced by Charles Dickens himself.But despite some debate within the medical establishment about the scientific validity of hypnosis, it continues to be used today as a successful treatment for physical and psychological conditions. Scientists are also using hypnosis to learn more about the power of suggestion and belief.

They share personal insights and practical tools to help you set boundaries, heal your inner child, and start replacing unnecessary “sorrys” with confident, empowered language. If you've ever apologized just for having feelings or taking up space, this one's for you.

    In this episode from the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Joseph Torigian joins host Bonny Lin to discuss his newly released book, The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping. Dr. Torigian describes the life and struggle of Xi Zhongxun as a party official during the Cultural revolution and specifically the impact he had on the life and political views of Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Dr. Torigian notes that his book utilizes the story of Xi Zhongxun's life as a lens to better understand how the Party works and why both Xi Zhongxun and Xi Jinping believe certain values, such as those of sacrifice and suffering for the greater good, are highly important. He describes how Xi Jinping was viewed positively by his father due to the idea that his son had “eaten more bitterness” than other children, even going as far as to state that Xi Jinping had “the makings of a premier.” Dr. Torigian describes how deeply involved Xi Zhongxun was during his time in the party on the United Front, ethnic policy in Tibet and Xinjiang, and policy towards Taiwan, and how, because of his father's dedication to these issues, Xi Jinping views them as personal unfinished business. Finally, Dr. Torigian describes how Xi Zhongxun's influence on his son has left Xi Jinping with a Hobbesian view of the world and with the idea that the Party is the best tool for helping China assert its rightful place in the world and secure its inevitable march towards greatness.

    Exploring Corporate Culture and M&A with Matthew Person Townsquare-advisors.com About the Guest(s): Matthew Person is the founder and managing director of Town Square Advisors, a firm dedicated to serving the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. He is a certified M&A advisor with extensive experience in buy-side mergers and acquisitions, having led private equity-backed global corporate development departments for firms like IDG, Blackstone, Vista, and TA Associates. Additionally, Matthew has experience as a Vice President at Capstone Partners and has worked with startups and growth-stage companies, exemplified by his tenure at Breakaway Innovation and Hybrid VC. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of The Chris Voss Show, Chris dives into the multifaceted world of corporate culture and organizational alignment with his guest, Matthew Person. Matthew, an expert in mergers and acquisitions, introduces his innovative Square Management System, a comprehensive framework designed to help businesses understand and intentionally cultivate corporate culture to achieve optimal staff alignment and business success. Matthew discusses the often overlooked but critical role of culture in the business environment, especially during mergers and acquisitions. Using his Square Management System, he highlights the importance of understanding corporate culture and the individual work preferences of employees to create a harmonious and productive workplace. This episode emphasizes that successful mergers often hinge on cultural fit more so than financial metrics and that understanding the preferences for independence or constraint can lead to better job satisfaction and performance. Chris and Matthew explore how culture isn't just about perks like ping-pong tables but is deeply tied to identity, instruction, intercommunication, and feedback within a company. Key Takeaways: The Square Management System emphasizes four elements—identity, instruction, intercommunication, and information feedback—as crucial for understanding and shaping corporate culture. Employers and employees benefit significantly from cultural alignment, impacting individual job satisfaction and overall business success. Cultural fit in mergers and acquisitions can often predict the success or failure of such ventures, as seen in both infamous and successful M&A cases. Matthew's approach underscores that there is no universally right or wrong culture; it's about finding the fit that aligns the company's processes with employees' natural work styles. Taking self-assessment quizzes can help both employees and executives understand their ideal work environments, ensuring better placement and higher retention. Notable Quotes: "Culture isn't just the ping-pong tables or Thursday beers; it's about identity, instruction, intercommunication, and feedback." "There's no wrong culture, just your culture, and it's crucial for executives to understand what aligns best with their organizational goals." "Successful mergers often hinge on cultural fit more than any financial metric; it's about bringing together compatible systems and people." "Great culture is alignment between the employee and the company. We've often focused too much on broad appeal instead of individual fit." "Our goal is to let people make decisions and own them within a framework that respects their independence and contributes to a high-performing team."

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Larry Connor is an entrepreneur, non-profit activist investor, and adventurist. In business, he is best known for founding The Connor Group, a real estate investment firm, and growing it from $0 to $5 billion in assets. Outside of work, Larry lives an adventurous life. Within a 12 month period Larry did something that had never been done before. He completed 3 dives to the deepest part of the ocean (the Mariana Trench) AND traveled to the International Space Station as an astronaut. In addition to that, Larry is a private pilot and was part of a Le Mans racing team that has won championships. “At The Connor Group, we don't have, and never will have, a mission statement. We have culture. When you have the latter, the former is not necessary.” The culture is built on 5 core values, on which we don't compromise: Do the right thing People count Live the Circle of Success Think long-term, not short-term Relentless pursuit of excellence “We exist, quite simply, to be the best.” “We don't hire for experience. We don't hire for knowledge. We don't care where you went to school. We hire for personality traits. Especially in leadership roles. You have to have the big 6. You have to have all 6. They are: 1. Be able to motivate and inspire others. 2. Self-accountability and ability to hold others accountable in an honest, direct manner. 3. Organizational multi-tasking. The speed of the game is fast. 4. Cultural fit. 5. Grit. Doing the thing that others say are impossible. 6. Work orientation. If you want to come in at 8:30, take a 90-minute lunch, and leave at 4:30, The Connor Group is not for you. “People never outperform their own self-image. So aim high!” “Mediocre people don't like high achievers and high achievers don't like mediocre people.” “By definition, if you want to be exceptional, you have to be different. If you're like everybody else, you're going to end up like everybody else.” In 2008, Larry said, “We simply decided we weren't going to participate in the global recession.” 3 P's - People, Plan, Process People's performances are measured through daily, weekly, and monthly IAMs (Individual Accountability Meetings). Clear expectations and clear management. When I asked him about becoming a billionaire, Larry immediately jumped to the impact he's having on others. “There are far more important standards than money. How well have you treated your associates? Have you made them better people? How much have you done to help other people? Have you made a difference?” All of that is available to all of us regardless of us being a billionaire or not. The company headquarters are next door to a hangar that houses a working model of the “Wright B Flyer” - The Wright Brothers' first production airplane.
