In this soulful yet grounded conversation, Hannah and her Reiki teacher, spiritual mentor, and now dear friend Nieve Tierney come together to explore the world of Reiki — what it actually is, how it works, what it can help with, and why more people are being drawn to energy healing than ever before.As well as sharing their own experiences, Nieve turns the tables and asks Hannah thoughtful, heartfelt questions about her personal journey, including what she would say to the version of herself who was just beginning to walk this path.Together, they unpack some of the most common myths (yes, distant Reiki is a thing and just as powerful), and dive into the science behind energy work (it's physics, hunz). They reflect on the power of frequency, intention, and intuition, and offer a grounded, practical introduction to the energetic world we all live in. They also speak to the soft strength it takes to lead a life with love and embrace vulnerability, and how, when we learn to trust our inner guidance, life becomes more expansive and aligned than ever before.Hannah and Nieve are on a mission to normalise the woo-woo, and guide others to reclaim their true power in this often chaotic world.Whether you're Reiki-curious, newly-attuned, or simply wondering what all this “energy stuff” is really about, this episode is a beautiful place to begin.Listener Perks:​ Get 15% off Nieve's upcoming Energy Tank event with the code ENERGYTANKHANNAH • Get 10% off a 1:1 Reiki session with Hannah throughout August using the code PODCAST10

In this episode, the conversation centres on embedded finance and digital transformation with Christie Kristensen, Partnership Manager at Danske Bank. Christie shares her experience working across fintech and banking, and how Danske is evolving to meet the needs of corporate clients by embedding financial services directly into enterprise systems such as ERPs and treasury platforms. The discussion explores how Danske is moving beyond regulatory open banking APIs to offer premium APIs that support real-time, data-driven decision-making. These APIs are designed to automate traditionally manual workflows like financial reporting and cash management, reducing reliance on outdated file-based systems. Christie emphasises a strong co-creation model, where product development is informed directly by customer and partner feedback, ensuring relevance and tangible impact. She also describes how Danske's strategy, known as the 428 plan, aims to position the bank as a vital infrastructure player in the ecosystem—focusing on powering finance rather than owning the user interface. The integration of AI and real-time data is also touched upon, with a view towards future-proofing financial operations and enabling predictive insights for finance professionals. With a culture that mirrors fintech agility, cross-functional collaboration between tech and business, and a firm commitment to customer-centric innovation, Danske Bank is setting a benchmark for how traditional institutions can reinvent themselves in the embedded finance era.

#181: Death doesn't have to be a cold, clinical experience tucked away in hospital corners. Yet the word "hospice" still strikes fear in the hearts of so many, often because we fundamentally misunderstand what hospice truly offers.In this profound conversation with Karissa, a veteran hospice nurse with eight years of experience across four different states, we peel back the layers of misconception surrounding end-of-life care. "If death is inevitable, it matters where and when and how," she explains, challenging our cultural tendency to avoid these conversations until it's often too late.What exactly happens when hospice steps in? Far from being just for the imminently dying, hospice provides comprehensive support for both patients and families, sometimes for years rather than days. Karissa walks us through the full spectrum of resources available – from 24/7 nursing support and equipment to spiritual care and family counseling – all covered 100% by Medicare and Medicaid. We explore the telltale signs that it might be time to consider hospice for conditions like CHF, COPD, Alzheimer's, and cancer, and why waiting too long often leads to preventable suffering.Perhaps most beautifully, Karissa describes her role as "midwifery for the dying," drawing a powerful parallel between how we usher life into this world and how we can compassionately guide it out. Whether you're a healthcare provider hesitant to broach this topic with patients, a family member wondering if it's time to consider additional support, or simply someone wanting to understand this inevitable part of the human experience, this episode offers practical wisdom, honest insights, and unexpected moments of lightness in what's typically considered a heavy subject. Listen, share, and join the conversation about making the end of life as meaningful and comfortable as possible.You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show.

Live Action Role Players embody fantasy and sci/fi characters of their own creation, coming together as a community to "live" out their fantasy realm in real life ... whether that be as a convention center, a city park, or at someone's residence.

In this episode, Savannah asks Julie whether its fair that marginalized groups should need to hold themselves to a higher standard of empathy and social expectations in the face of a society that prefers to attack and marginalize those groups? In a just world, no — it is not fair.Marginalized groups should not have to hold themselves to a higher standard of empathy or moral behavior than those who hold power or privilege. The expectation that oppressed people must be kinder, more understanding, or more patient than their oppressors is rooted in systemic inequality itself. It's an unfair double standard — one that demands emotional labor and restraint from those already burdened with discrimination, violence, and exclusion.But in practice, many marginalized individuals feel compelled to do exactly that — to hold themselves to a higher standard — as a means of survival, resistance, or advocacy.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

Perhaps the most controversial and divisive subject that dominates Israeli society today is the question of the blanket army exemption given to Yeshiva students. Someone whose Torah is their profession is entitled to defer and ultimately bypass mandatory constriction to the IDF. What is the rationale for this exemption? Why are the ultra-orthodox (Chareidi) communities so adamantly opposed to serving in the army? Don't they know the imperative to help contribute towards the safety and protection of the nation? Don't they know the chastisement that Moshe levied on the tribes of Reuben and Gad when they asked to stay on the East Bank of the Jordan? What are the ways by which these seemingly intractable gaps can be bridged? In this podcast we attempt to demystify the subject of Chareidi refusal to enlist in the IDF.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –This special podcast is dedicated in loving memory of R' Shlomo Ben Avigdor Moshe and R' Yitzchak Yaakov ben Eliyahu.

All we hear about is AI this, AI that. And yet trying to keep up with all the changes can be overwhelming. Many operators are simply rejecting it outright, or knowingly keeping their heads buried in the sand.So Mitch Bach sat down with Janette Roush, the "Chief AI Officer" for Brand USA, to ask a fundamental question: what are some practical ways a tour operator can get started using AI effectively for their tour business? This isn't a technical, advanced conversation, but rather a clear-eyed overview of the benefits of just getting started and a practical approach to do just that. It's a great first step for those wondering where to begin.Janette is a master communicator on this topic, and everyone should follow her on LinkedIn!

In this episode, Julie shares with Savannah a recent client experience that highlighted the need for the trans-expansive partner to always remember their significant one while they, themselves, are going through their own journey of discovery.

This episode is different. It is personal.Because for the first time, I will be sharing something I have not yet spoken about publicly.My father passed away this March. Just two days before my birthday.And in the weeks that followed, I gave myself permission to fully grieve, to feel, to remember, to process.It was a conscious act of mourning, supported by ceremony, solitude, and also by ketamine therapy, medically supervised at our clinic in Santa Monica.It helped me meet the waves of grief and let them move through me, not around me.And in that space, I kept returning to one question: Why, in our culture, is death treated as something to avoid, deny, or sanitize?Why is something so universal, so sacred, still held in so much fear?Today's guest has devoted her entire life to shifting that.Barbara Karnes is a hospice pioneer and one of the most respected voices in end-of-life education.Her booklet Gone From My Sight, known as The Little Blue Book, has sold over 40 million copies and changed how countless families understand and approach death.In this conversation, Barbara offers profound wisdom: she offers a map, a presence, a way of holding death that allows us to also hold life more fully.This is much more than a conversation about dying. It is a conversation about what it means to live without fear, and to love more openly, even at the edge of goodbye.Episode highlights:02:45 Ariana's Personal Story of Grief and Healing05:29 Understanding the Dying Process10:40 The Role of Caregivers and Cultural Myths About Dying21:51 The Emotional and Spiritual Costs of Caregiving31:36 The Role of the Witness in the Dying Process33:04 Creating a Sacred Experience Before Death34:08 Saying Goodbye and Processing Grief42:16 The Importance of Personal Choice in End-of-Life Care44:44 Cultural Perspectives on Death and Aging52:32 Rehearsing for Death Through Life's Changes54:25 Barbara's Personal Relationship with Death56:22 Understanding Grief as Part of the Dying Process01:02:39 Barbara's Legacy and ResourcesResources mentioned:https://bkbooks.com/pages/about-barbarahttps://bkbooks.com/collections/allSOCIAL MEDIALinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbarakarnesrnInstagram https://www.instagram.com/barbarakarnesrnFacebook https://www.facebook.com/barbarakarnesrnYouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXVqIQdyP2OBTop8-jboRww

Happy Pride month, y'all! Please help me to welcome lifelong activist and Arizona Drag Show organizer, Christopher Jay Hall, to the pod. Earlier this week, Christopher and his father were featured in a CNN article & this episode is a timely follow-up. Listen in as Christopher shares about his upbringing in rural Arizona, and how he & his dad have repaired their relationship in recent years. Despite his dad's early-on rejection of his queerness, Christopher came out as a teen and fell heart-first into LGBTQ+ activism. He shares how working with countless nonprofits led to the emergence of his drag persona, Miss Nature. Miss Nature LLC travels regionally, working in collaboration with rural organizers to create inclusive spaces and provide information and resources to underserved communities. Arizona Drag Show performances are generally family-friendly events, which in recent years has led to some virulent pushback from the right, more specifically in the city I currently call home, Cottonwood, Arizona. Thankfully, Miss Nature and local organizers have refused to be bullied & this year the production is offering a larger-than-ever, sold-out performance. Christopher and I dig into some of the common misconceptions about drag (especially as it relates to children), and he shares why he remains steadfast when it comes to bringing LGBTQ+ support to rural areas similar to the one he grew up in. Miss Nature carries on, fierce and full of heart, even when she has to dance on culture-war eggshells to bring her and her glorious entourage on stage. I think my bestie said it best: "Drag Queens have always and will always exist & thank the gay gods for that!!!"Christopher Jay Hall was born in Phoenix, AZ. He has lived all over the U.S. as a child, but spent much of his time growing up in Arizona. He has been in Tucson since 2013. He is a graduate of Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor's in Public Administration. Christopher loves bringing people together from all walks of life to help support a common cause amongst groups that normally might not come together. He does this best as his persona, Miss Nature, whom he has been bringing to stages across the country for more than a decade. Miss Nature looks forward to bringing the art of drag to new communities that have yet to experience it. She produces the annual Arizona Pride Tour, which is set to expand into New Mexico in 2026. To learn more about her, visit ⁦MissNatureLLC.com.⁩Referenced in this episode:Read the CNN article Interview with David Gallegos-RoybalFree Held (Movie 2015)Support the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

In this episode, Julie and Savannah discuss a topic that a couple listeners and fans have been asking about ... autogynephilia. Popularized as a theory by Ray Blanchard in the 1980s and 1990s, this paraphilia is based on the idea that heterosexual transexuals want to transition to the female gender because they are aroused by the notion of being female. While this paraphilia persists even today, the concept that a person's sexuality and arousal are causation for gender transition is flawed and too simplistic to be realistic. Julie and Savannah strap in and give the topic their best effort!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

This week we're busting the “all debt is bad” myth and setting the record straight! If no one has told you this before, I'll happily be the first:    Borrowing money doesn't mean you're behind, it means you're building.   In this new episode, we're kicking shame, blame, and guilt to the curb for a fresh, feel-good way to look at growing your photography business.
