Dr. Bunge served as a professor of religion from 1962 to 1999 and was the co-author of Transformed by the Journey, a book covering 150 years of history from its founding through its sesquicentennial date of 2011. Dr. Bunge discussed the writing of Transformed by the Journey and shared his own journey from a farm outside of Spring Grove, Minnesota to Luther College to Harvard and back to Decorah, Iowa serving over three decades in the religion department. For those of you who love ideas, the liberal arts, and Luther College, this is the episode for you! In one hour, we covered all things Luther College from Wil's own journey at Luther and his observations about other leading lights in Luther history including Vilhelm and Elisabeth Koren, J.W. Ylvisaker, Elwin Farwell, and Weston Noble. Much gratitude to Dr. Bunge for sharing his journey and for his service to Luther College!

Join Sarah Noll Wilson and guest Courageous Fire as they delve into the challenges faced by Black women in predominantly white spaces. Courageous shares insights into her journey of embracing authenticity and self worth, highlighting the power of vulnerability, trust, and empathy in building inclusive spaces. About Our Guest Courageous Fire is a Black woman and diligent part of the workforce who learned it was important to have a safe space to do safety planning, what it looked like to get help outside the workplace during the crisis of domestic violence, how far reaching the cost of DV is to health, how disruptive it is to work performance, how expensive it can be for years into the future, and how uniquely this health, economic, social justice issue specifically impacts Black women. Once Courageous executed her plan to free herself and her daughters, she began to furiously RESEARCH. She wanted to find and/or create the best solutions. She wanted to know if she could find employer partners to create spaces within the work environment for safety planning if she provided the training and materials. She wanted to know if they realized how much money she could save them in employee absenteeism and healthcare costs if she provided them with cultural resources for their Black women employees. And she wanted to teach them how to utilize their position in Black women DV victim-survivor's lives to be disruptors of the oftentime end result of DV - homicide. She began Courageous Fire, LLC nearly 5 years ago to educate with a concentration on two distinct groups - Centers of Trust and Centers of Must - to increase the spaces where Black women can be treated with dignity, compassion, and stop being refused services or having services terminated for showing up fully as a Black woman during crisis. Courageous has always known her work would need to broaden to mitigate the harm of systems holding Black women accountable for the perpetrator's violence against them and their children. That's why she is moving toward those state-operated systems in her collaborative work with organizations such as Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, Children and Families of Iowa, and Safe and Together Institute to make that happen. Nearly 5 years later, Courageous has successfully charted relationships with over 30 organizations to increase safe spaces for Black women. These places in Iowa include many cities: Waterloo, Dubuque, Davenport, Iowa City, Decorah, Cedar Rapids, Ankeny, and Des Moines, as well as Illinois and New York. In this time she has 1 organization that has set up a place for safety planning, but she knows there are many more needed. Courageous is a consultant, trainer, and women's empowerment speaker who comes with 12+ years of curriculum development and delivery experience, 6+ years as a motivational speaker, and 5+ years of independent studies in historical and systemic racial impact on Black women in DV. She often says her approach is never “shame on you!” which closes people down, but instead it is one of “did you know?” to give people a safe place for consideration. Courageous is aware that there is a temptation to assume how a Black woman will “teach”, but experience has shown her that knowledge, authenticity, and comfort with who she is creates a safe for her audience to be comfortable with themselves while they learn, question, seek, discard, relearn, and grow. She comes ready to invite everyone that attends that level of #permission.

On this week's podcast, we are joined by Dr. Andrea Vitz, D.C. author of "The You've Never Met" and Emotional Sobriety Educator. We talk leadership and mental health through the lens of emotional sobriety. I share a glass of Radiant Haze IPA from Radiant Beer Co. in Decorah, IA.About Dr. Vitz:Dr. Vitz is a keynote speaker, bestselling author, podcaster, and doctor of chiropractic. Her acclaimed book, "The You You've Never Met," has guided numerous individuals to heal their emotional and behavioral patterns as well as past and present relationships.

Her anticipated second and third books are set to be released in 2024, further solidifying her status as an influential voice in personal growth and an expert in Emotional Sobriety. The foundation of her teachings are based on her own humility, coming from many mistakes and failures which she was gifted with the grace to overcome. She strongly believes in the practice of remembering where we have made our own errs and therefore can begin to use less judgment on others.As the co-founder of LIFTED Academy, Levelheaded Doc, LLC, owner of Vitz Chiropractic, and team doctor at California's Strongest Gym, Diablo Barbell, she has dedicated her life to helping individuals tap into their ultimate potency and create real change in their lives, emotionally, mentally, physically, and energetically.One of Dr. Vitz's most notable contributions to the field is the development of EMSO (Emotional Sobriety) Training, a groundbreaking rep-based approach that has brought relief and healing to hundreds of individuals in their marriages, companies, and personal lives. This has fostered a global movement for Emotional Sobriety providing people with the tools they need to master emotional fluency and to release shame, anger, and all forms of destructive emotional pain. She coaches all types of people and is often sought after by high-level executives and/or their teams to lead executive retreats, 1:1 coaching, or run leadership training both in-person and virtual. You can hear her every weekday on her podcast, Levelheaded Talk.Dr. Vitz also has a nearly two-decade background as a distinguished doctor of chiropractic and injury rehabilitation which she continues to practice to this day.

Want to destress your mind? Start with your body. Progressive Muscle Relaxation is a practice where you methodically tense and release your muscles to help unwind.  Studies show it can reduce anxiety, help you get better sleep and lower depression levels. Link to episode transcript: https://tinyurl.com/y6stdy3b Episode summary: As a war correspondent and an Afghani refugee, Nelufar Hedayat is acutely aware of how stress feels in her body. For our show, Nelufar tried Progressive Muscle Relaxation: But what the practice's title doesn't mention is that you methodically tense your muscles,  before releasing them.. At first, it triggered feelings of distress for her. But after recently being diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder, Nelufar was able to reframe her relationship to the exercise. By separating the sensation of tensing from stress, she completed the practice feeling empowered and euphoric. Later, we hear from psychologist Loren Toussaint about the importance of intentionally engaging our body's relaxation response. We also learn how Progressive Muscle Relaxation compares to other well-known relaxation techniques, like deep breathing and visualization.

Collin Tweten is a young hammer bass angler from darn near the same town as our title sponsor; Grizzly Coolers, in Decorah, Iowa. The dude is just 25 years old and knows his way around the deer woods and the local pools of the Mississippi River. Just a couple days ago Collin was fishing a BFL tournament on pool 9 of the Miss . He decided to run a skinny part of the river to access a new spot that he's run through, according to him, hundreds of times. In the video, which we will release in two days (chances are you've already seen it), you can BARELY see a small section of log sticking up above the water as Collin approaches it. With the wind blowing, the waves created enough ripple effect that Collin, even while boating totally responsibly, couldn't see the log, struck it going about 60 MPH, and ripped his entire engine off the back of his Legend Bass Boat, snapping the motor mounts clean through. SIDENOTE - the engine was a nearly impossible to find brand new Mercury 4 stroke 225HP. We talk with Collin about the accident, tacos, deer hunting, YouTube, Bass Fishing, Jordan sings "Sleeping Single in a Double Bed" by Barbara Mandrell for some reason, and a lot lot more. https://www.grizzlycoolers.com/shop-kenai/ - code WCB https://hookandarrowsupply.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@tackleandtacos https://www.workingclassbowhunter.com/ COLLIN'S SOCIAL AND LINKS https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR73vKLMVGLkjKT09-e4Dag https://www.facebook.com/grindseasonoutdoors/ https://majorleaguefishing.com/anglers/collin-tweten-2/ Learn more about your ad choices.
