I broke down in the middle of a hurricane—sobbing, soaked, and desperately trying to keep my barn from blowing away—while sick kittens cried in a barely-secured shed. That's when I realized: something had to change.In this raw, no-holds-barred solo episode, I share the story kept quiet for too long—the mental, emotional, and physical toll of being "the yes person" in animal rescue for far too long.With over 4,000 animals fostered, a 7-acre property turned full-blown sanctuary, and a rescue organization I've poured my soul into, I finally hit my limit. From losing my husband to COVID, to battling cancer while still saving animals, to holding things together through Hurricane Beryl, I've lived the reality behind the glossy social media posts—and it nearly destroyed me.This episode covers:Why saying yes to every animal can mean saying no to the ones you could saveThe emotional damage of euthanasia decisions and the savior complex in rescue cultureThe moment I knew my passion had become a compulsionWhy I'm not leaving rescue, but stepping back to lead with clarityHow I'm building a leaner, foster-based model focused on advocacy and sustainabilityA preview of my upcoming interview on why the no-kill movement is failing—and what ethical, SMART sheltering could look likeIt's time for a new chapter—for me, and for the rescue world—one rooted in balance, boundaries, and better outcomes for everyone.

Two South Wales firefighters, Geraint Roberts and Matt Norman, sit down for a raw, unfiltered conversation on what it really means to live with the mental toll of frontline duty.From tragic scenes that never leave their minds, to the dark humour that helps them cope, this episode shines a light on the often-unspoken reality of being a firefighter in the UK.

This episode is the second in our new panel discussion series People of the Thames on Talk of the Thames, where we explore how different communities work, create, and engage with the river. Hosted by Chloe Russell, this series brings together experts, storytellers, and practitioners whose lives and work are directly tied to the Thames.In this panel, recorded aboard the working Theatreship in Canary Wharf, we explore the rich cultural and emotional connections people form with the Thames through art, music, history, and heritage. This is a conversation about creativity, community, and the personal stories that flow through the river's current.

Phillip Scott delivers a clear message to other communities who continue to expect Foundational Black Americans (FBAs) to join protest movements that don't prioritize FBA issues. In this bold commentary, he explains why FBAs are choosing strategic separation, political focus, and self-preservation over performative activism.

Is your team more afraid of sharing a bad idea or missing out on a great one? In this episode, Mike and Kristen dig into what truly makes a culture innovative - and it's probably not what you think. Most companies claim to value innovation, but few actually design their culture to support it. Through a framework Kristen calls the "Improvation Matrix," they explore how openness to new ideas and commitment to execution create the foundation for genuine innovation. Plus, Mike takes a delightful detour through the Museum of Failure (featuring gems like Colgate Lasagna and Limeade Oreos) to illustrate why embracing failure might be the most important element in fostering creativity. Whether your team is stuck in stagnation, drowning in noise, or trapped in rigid thinking, this episode offers practical strategies to shift your culture toward true innovation.Highlights:Kristen introduces the Improvation Matrix with two axes: openness to new ideas and level of commitmentTeams can exist in four states: Stagnation, Noise, Rigidity, or Innovation depending on their cultureThe "Yes, And" mindset from improv fosters divergent thinking and gives creative ideas room to breatheThe Museum of Failure showcases products like New Coke and Colgate Lasagna as examples of how even successful companies failThree levels of listening: listening to respond, listening to hear, and listening to understandThe Golden State Warriors' "Strength in Numbers" philosophy demonstrates how supporting teammates leads to successIncorporating play at work reduces stress, improves cognitive function, and enhances creativityLinks & Resources Mentioned:Museum of Failure Episode #7: 10 Ways Improv Makes You a Better LeaderGet your FREE 5 Day Leadership Reset Challenge guide here: https://llpod.link/challengePodcast Website: www.loveandleadershippod.comInstagram: @loveleaderpodFollow us on LinkedIn!Kristen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristenbsharkey/ Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-s-364970111/Learn more about Kristen's leadership coaching and facilitation services: http://www.emboldify.com

We've been sold this idea that work and life are two separate things—one to survive, the other to enjoy. But here's the truth: It's all just life. The best workplaces don't force people to "balance" their time between stress and fulfillment. They create cultures where work itself is a source of purpose, growth, and well-being.That's exactly what Teresa Roche, Chair of the Learning Innovation Laboratory at Harvard and CHRO at the City of Fort Collins, has helped build—an adaptive and well-being-driven organization where people don't just work, they flourish. Teresa Roche is a transformational HR leader with expertise in building well-being-driven workplaces. As CHRO of the City of Fort Collins, she has led innovative talent strategies, inclusion initiatives, and the Future of Work, shaping a culture where people and performance thrive. Previously, she drove leadership development at Agilent Technologies, ensuring 90% of senior roles were filled internally. In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Teresa Roche explore how leaders can start designing purposeful workplaces that fuel both performance and well-being.Things you will learn in this episode:• The myth of work-life balance• The importance of building a workplace culture that prioritizes well-being• Why well-being must be an organizational priority• Why organizations need to make the systemic shift to promote wellness• The ROI of creating flourishing organizations• The role of leaders in driving a flourishing cultureThe system needs to change!

 https://www.iservalan.com https://www.taletellerclub.comChapter 2: Classical Antiquity – Pleasure, Power, and Myth(Greece, Rome, India, China, Japan)Erotic Art in the Classical World: Sensuality, Divinity, and the Human FormThe civilizations of Greece and Rome profoundly shaped Western attitudes toward eroticism, beauty, and the human body. Meanwhile, in Asia, India, China, and Japan developed their own rich traditions of erotic art, where sexuality was intertwined with spirituality, aesthetics, and philosophy. Across these cultures, erotic imagery was not just about desire—it was deeply connected to mythology, religious devotion, and social identity.The Greek Celebration of the Nude and the DivineAncient Greek art (c. 800–146 BCE) is renowned for its idealized representations of the human form, including sensual and erotic depictions. Unlike later Western traditions, which often moralized sexuality, the Greeks saw eroticism as an essential aspect of life, closely tied to their gods, heroes, and social structures.The Male Nude and Homoeroticism in Greek ArtGreek sculptures and vase paintings frequently depicted the nude male body as a symbol of beauty, strength, and divine perfection. The kouroi (statues of young men) and later the works of sculptors like Phidias, Polykleitos, and Praxiteles showcased a balance of realism and idealism.Homoeroticism played a significant role in Greek culture, particularly in the institution of pederasty, where older men (erastai) mentored and formed relationships with younger men (eromenoi). While controversial today, these relationships were embedded in Greek education, social bonding, and military camaraderie. Erotic vase paintings and sculptures, such as those on the Warren Cup, openly depicted same-sex relationships without stigma.Aphrodite and the Feminine EroticThe goddess Aphrodite, associated with love and beauty, was a central figure in Greek erotic art. The first known fully nude female sculpture, Aphrodite of Knidos by Praxiteles (c. 360 BCE), marked a shift in the portrayal of female sensuality. While earlier depictions of women were clothed, this work introduced the eroticized nude female body as an artistic norm in Western art.Rome: Eroticism, Excess, and Moral ContradictionsThe Romans inherited much from Greek artistic traditions but added their own flair for luxury, satire, and explicit eroticism. Roman erotic art ranged from refined frescoes in wealthy villas to bawdy graffiti in brothels, revealing a culture that embraced sexuality in both elite and everyday contexts.Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Window into Roman EroticismThe eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE preserved vast amounts of erotic art in Pompeii and Herculaneum, offering an unparalleled glimpse into Roman attitudes toward sexuality. Frescoes from the Villa of the Mysteries and Lupanar (brothel) depict explicit scenes, suggesting that sexuality was not hidden but woven into public and private life.One of the most famous artifacts, the Priapus fresco, shows the god Priapus weighing his exaggerated phallus against a bag of money—a humorous but symbolic image of fertility and prosperity. Romans often associated large phallic imagery with protection, luck, and virility.Satire and Social Commentary in Roman EroticaWhile erotic art was common, Rome also saw moral pushback against sexual excess. Writers like Ovid (Metamorphoses, Ars Amatoria) celebrated love and seduction, while others, like Juvenal, satirized the decadence of Roman society. The Augustan moral reforms (1st century BCE) attempted to impose sexual restraint, yet erotic art continued to flourish, reflecting the contradictions within Roman attitudes toward pleasure.Erotic Art in Ancient India: The Sacred and the SensualEroticism in ancient India was deeply entwined with spirituality, particularly through Hinduism and Tantra. Unlike in the West, where sexuality was often seen in opposition to religious purity, Indian art frequently depicted sensuality as an extension of divine energy.Temple Eroticism: Khajuraho and KonarkThe Khajuraho temple complex (c. 950–1050 CE) and the Konark Sun Temple (c. 13th century CE) feature intricate sculptures of deities, lovers, and erotic acts. These reliefs, far from being mere decoration, reflect the Hindu belief that sexual union mirrors cosmic unity and divine creation.The Kama Sutra and Indian Erotic TextsAttributed to Vātsyāyana, the Kama Sutra (3rd century CE) is one of the most famous texts on love and eroticism. Contrary to its popular perception as a sex manual, it is a sophisticated treatise on pleasure, relationships, and aesthetics. Accompanying illustrations in later manuscripts helped visualize its teachings, making it one of the most influential works of erotic literature.Erotic Art in Ancient China: Daoism and Sensual BalanceIn China, erotic art was shaped by Confucian ideals, Daoist philosophy, and later Buddhist influences. While Confucianism promoted restraint, Daoism embraced sexuality as a path to harmony and longevity.Daoist Sexual Arts and Painted ScrollsDaoist texts, such as the "Art of the Bedchamber", describe sexual practices believed to extend life and health. Erotic scroll paintings from the Tang (618–907 CE) and Song (960–1279 CE) dynasties often depicted intimate scenes with poetic inscriptions, emphasizing sensuality rather than crude explicitness.Later, during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1912) dynasties, erotic books known as "spring pictures" (春宫图) became popular among the elite, blending humor, philosophy, and eroticism.Japan's Shunga: The Floating World of SensualityJapanese erotic art, or Shunga (春画), flourished during the Edo period (1603–1868). These woodblock prints, created by masters such as Hokusai and Utamaro, depicted erotic encounters with both aesthetic refinement and explicit detail. Unlike in the West, where erotic art often faced suppression, Shunga was widely enjoyed across social classes.Shunga as Art, Satire, and InstructionShunga prints were not just pornographic; they served multiple purposes, including sexual education, humor, and even political satire. Some depicted fantastical elements, such as Hokusai's famous "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife", blending eroticism with mythology.Conclusion: Classical Eroticism as a Reflection of CultureThe erotic art of classical antiquity reveals a diversity of attitudes toward sexuality:Idealized beauty and divine connection – Greek and Roman art celebrated the nude as an emblem of perfection.Religious and cosmic symbolism – Hindu and Daoist traditions saw sexuality as a path to spiritual enlightenment.Humor and satire – Roman and Japanese art often infused eroticism with wit and social commentary.While some traditions embraced erotic art as sacred, others saw it as a source of indulgence or controversy. The tension between openness and censorship would continue to shape erotic art in the centuries to come.The Warren Cup (1st century CE, Roman) A silver drinking cup featuring detailed homoerotic scenes, the Warren Cup provides insight into Roman attitudes toward male-male relationships. Hidden for centuries, it is now a key artifact in LGBTQ+ art history.Khajuraho Temple Reliefs (10th–11th century CE, India)These intricate sculptures depict a range of erotic acts, reinforcing the Hindu belief in sexuality as a divine force. Unlike Western art, which often separated the sacred from the sensual, Khajuraho integrates both seamlessly.The Frescoes of the Villa of the Mysteries (1st Century BCE, Pompeii, Roman Empire)The Villa of the Mysteries in Pompeii contains one of the most famous and enigmatic fresco cycles from ancient Rome. While not explicitly erotic, many scholars believe the images depict a Dionysian initiation ritual, potentially related to sacred sexuality and mystery cults. The frescoes feature semi-nude figures, suggestive interactions, and themes of divine ecstasy, linking sexuality to spiritual transformation. This example highlights how Romans often blended eroticism with religious and ritualistic themes rather than treating it as purely physical pleasure.Shunga by Kitagawa Utamaro (1753–1806, Edo Period, Japan)Kitagawa Utamaro, one of the most celebrated ukiyo-e artists, created numerous Shunga (春画, "spring pictures"), which depicted intimate encounters with exquisite detail and elegance. His prints, such as Poem of the Pillow, emphasized the sensuality of touch, fabric, and movement, offering a refined and almost poetic take on erotic imagery. His work also often featured women's pleasure and agency, making it a significant contribution to the study of feminine desire in erotic art.#stencilart #originalart #investment art #blinkfrictionart #blinkfrictionfashion #reclaimart #reclaimfashion

Much of modern work is defined by routine, efficiency targets, and the need to appear productive. But how much of it is actually necessary? Dennis Nørmark, Danish anthropologist, author, and speaker, argues that a significant part of today's work culture is built on pseudo-work—tasks that maintain appearances rather than create real value. As the co-author of Pseudo-Work: How We Ended Up Being Busy Doing Nothing, he examines why unnecessary work persists and how it shapes our perception of productivity. In I Wish My Boss Was a Chief, he applies leadership lessons from indigenous cultures to modern management, questioning whether our current systems are as effective as we assume.This conversation explores how unfreedom has become a feature of work and society, limiting personal agency and reinforcing structures of control. Predictions from a century ago suggested that technological progress would reduce working hours, yet most people today work as much as ever. Why has this happened? How do schools, workplaces, and governments encourage dependence rather than autonomy? And what can be done to reclaim control over our time and choices?Key TopicsWhat pseudo-work is and why it persistsHow bureaucracy and control shape modern work cultureThe shift from work as necessity to work as identityWhy predictions of reduced working hours never materializedHow education reinforces compliance rather than independenceRethinking work, freedom, and personal agencyDennis Nørmark challenges assumptions about work and productivity, raising questions about what it means to contribute meaningfully in a system that values busyness over results.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Your struggles with food rooted in a lack of safety in your body are not just a response to trauma, they're also shaped by the commodification of health. The idea that a product, supplement, protocol, or routine could "fix" you and make you feel safe often triggers your fight-or-flight response. This constant sense of danger can intensify binge or restrictive food behaviors as your body seeks regulation. When health is commodified, it can never feel like enough. There's always another longevity bio-hack, another supplement, another "should" to do for your health that your body never gets the chance to feel safe and relax into the health that is here right now.There were a lot of health trends in 2024 including ozempic, cortisol face, the continued focus on eating enough protein, lifting weights, and the demonization of foods like hyper-palatable foods, seed oils, and sugar. So what's to come in 2025?In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with my dear friend and colleague Michelle Shapiro, Integrative & Functional Registered Dietitian and the host of the Quiet the Diet Podcast about: The evolving landscape of wellness and diet cultureThe commodification of health practicesThe trends of 2024 and what we hope to see in 2025Healing from long covid and other health issuesCreating the foundations of healthThe role of self authority and curiosity in your healingAnd so much more....You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/2025-forecast-of-trendsWe go deep in this episode!

Matthew and Riki dive deep into Indigenous representation in media, using the 2022 film Prey as a launching point for a broader discussion about the evolution of Native American portrayals in Hollywood. The conversation explores how this Predator franchise entry breaks new ground while honoring both the source material and Indigenous culture.How does Prey set a new standard for Indigenous representation? The hosts discuss the film's groundbreaking achievements, including its predominantly Native cast led by Amber Midthunder, authentic cultural consultation, and the historic creation of a Comanche language dub – a first in movie history. The discussion highlights how producer Jane Myers' involvement as a Comanche and Blackfoot consultant helped ensure cultural authenticity throughout production.What can we learn from revisiting Dances With Wolves (1990)? Riki presents a compelling case for reexamining the film's legacy, arguing that while imperfect, it represented a significant step forward in Native American representation. The hosts explore how the film launched the careers of prominent Native actors like Graham Greene and Wes Studi, while setting new standards for language authenticity and cultural portrayal in mainstream Hollywood.How do these films compare to other attempts at cultural representation? The conversation expands to examine other films like The Last Samurai and Avatar, discussing the complex dynamics of white savior narratives and the importance of authentic cultural consultation in historical dramas.Other topics covered:The evolution of the Predator franchise and how Prey reinvents itThe role of French trappers in the film and their thematic significanceThe importance of authentic language use in Indigenous filmsThe impact of Dances With Wolves on subsequent Native American representation in HollywoodThe complexities of casting Native actors across different tribal affiliationsThe problematic aspects of The Last Samurai and its historical inaccuraciesThe representation of Indigenous peoples in modern media and tourist cultureThe episode concludes by emphasizing the ongoing journey toward better Indigenous representation in media, highlighting both the progress made and the work still needed. While Prey represents a significant step forward, the hosts acknowledge that authentic representation requires continued commitment from the entertainment industry to elevate Indigenous voices both in front of and behind the camera.Use these links to get some of the books and movies we mention on the podcast, while helping us keep the lights on!Comanche Marker Trees of Texas by Jimmy Arterberry, one of the authenticity consultants on PreyPreyDances with WolvesThe Last SamuraiAvatar**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

The symbolism has a way of highlighting many complex things at once.

Happy Satiated Saturday! It has become this norm that we "should" all be trying to lose weight all the time. And because of this, of course, you would want to lose weight. Your body seeks attunement with other bodies. When everyone around you is also trying to lose weight, your body interprets this as the path to safety and connection. Releasing the need to change your body's weight can feel scary and even threatening to your well-being. We need others to survive. If those you rely on connect with you over dieting and losing weight, an association can occur that not dieting is dangerous to your survival.It can take time and practice to question the impulse to change your body's appearance. By practicing this though, you will start to be the person who sends a message to other bodies that safety and belonging can occur simply through being together as we are.In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Alexis Conason, Clinical Psychologist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist about: The anti-diet movement and what it isDiet culture trying to co-opt mindful eatingBody image challengesBuilding resiliency against diet cultureThe importance of self compassionNavigating food choices mindfullyWhat eating what you want actually meansAction steps you can take to practice anti-dietingYou can read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/what-it-means-to-love-your-body-and-eat-what-you-wantDoors closing to the Somatic Eating® Program on Monday at midnight. JOIN THE SOMATIC EATING® PROGRAM!: https://www.somaticeating.com/With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Alexis:Website: https://drconason.com/ https://www.conasonpsychologicalservices.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theantidietplan/Book: The Diet Free RevolutionSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/discount/STEPHANIEMARA?rfsn=7433250.c99684Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensound.co...
