In this episode, I'm back with Roman Bystrianyk, co-author of Dissolving Illusions, and y'all—we go deep. We break down the story behind polio, and spoiler alert: it's not what we were taught. From DDT and lead arsenate to the shifting definitions of polio cases post-vaccine rollout, Roman shows how much of what we “know” has been shaped by fear, not facts. We talk about how public health declined when we started relying on meds instead of nutrition, and how the obsession with vaccination overshadowed basic immune system support like sunlight, vitamin C, and, I don't know—eating real food?We also hit on MMR, the autism connection, and the crazy idea that maybe, just maybe, you can take charge of your health without waiting on the government or your pediatrician to get it right. If you're a parent trying to make sense of a very confusing system, this is one you need to hear.And yes—I'm still fired up. Let's go.- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

Today's episode is a real eye-opener. I'm sitting down with Roman Bystrianyk, co-author of Dissolving Illusions, and we're diving into some seriously uncomfortable truths about the Industrial Revolution. We've all heard about how vaccines saved the day, right? Well, Roman's here to flip that narrative. We talk about the grim reality of life back then—think poor sanitation, awful working conditions, and unhealthy living.Roman breaks it down: it wasn't vaccines that dropped those mortality rates, it was public health improvements, like better living conditions, cleaner water, and, yep, hygiene. We also unpack the history of vaccines, how people fought back against mandatory shots, and how, shocker, a lot of the time they didn't work the way we were told.This episode is a wake-up call, and trust me, it'll make you rethink a lot of what you thought you knew about health, medicine, and how we got here today. And that's not all-- stay tuned for part II, dropping next Thursday.- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

From Defense to Deep Tech: A Mission-Driven PivotSam's professional path began in defense and humanitarian operations, where she witnessed firsthand the enormous waste created by high-tech, mission-critical gear—aircraft components, body armor, and more. Frustrated by the environmental impact and economic loss of disposal, she teamed up with Jamie Meighan, a former RAF officer, to co-found Uplift360: a company that chemically recycles advanced materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber composites, turning waste into high-value resources.Building Uplift360: Science First, Then Everything ElseFounded in 2021 in the UK and now headquartered in Luxembourg, Uplift360 has grown to 16 team members—mostly scientists focused on R&D in materials, chemistry, and engineering. Their Series A launch was announced live on stage at JEC. Until recently, the company operated with no dedicated marketing team, a common thread in the composites industry. That changed with the arrival of an intern named Trisha, who helped reshape their brand presence, website, and press strategy—proving marketing matters, even in deep tech.Dissolving the Indestructible: Breakthrough with KevlarAt JEC, Sam unveiled a major milestone: Uplift360 successfully dissolved and respun para-aramid fibers (known commercially as Kevlar and Twaron) using a proprietary chemical process. These materials, once considered unrecyclable, can now be transformed into new high-performance fibers. With a price tag of nearly €100/kg, this isn't just a sustainability win—it's an economic one.“Kevlar is 80 times more expensive than steel—and we're turning it from a waste burden into a circular asset.”Scaling Impact Across IndustriesWhile Uplift360's first use case is defense, the applications are expanding into aerospace, mass transit, and even outdoor gear—industries previously wary of para-aramid's carbon footprint. Uplift's regenerated fibers offer up to 75% less CO₂ impact compared to virgin materials, making circularity a business case, not just a moral one.The Power of Circular EconomicsSam emphasizes that sustainability alone isn't enough to drive industrial change. What works is circular innovation that aligns with business incentives. Uplift360's pitch: transform waste into supply chain independence and margin growth. In a world increasingly focused on strategic autonomy, especially in Europe, that message is resonating—especially with defense and aerospace leaders.Regulation, Resilience, and European AdvantageUplift360's growth is partly enabled by Europe's progressive stance on waste regulation, green R&D funding, and climate goals. Being based in Luxembourg gives them access to EU-level policy and markets, and Sam sees the region as both a testing ground and a launchpad for global expansion.“Europe may not be sitting on mountains of fossil fuels—but we're sitting on mountains of waste. That's our strategic resource.”Learn MoreUplift360 – Pioneering material regenerationJEC World – The leading international composites show Be sure to follow Sesamers on Instagram, LinkedIn, and X for more cool stories from the people we catch during the best Tech events!

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we're going Skin Deep—and yes, Stacy's literally joining us from inside a closet. We're airing out more than just clothes in this jam-packed episode that blends style, self-care, and a little soul-searching. In “Bec's in the News,” we unpack a fresh take on wardrobe and life clutter: Dissolving. It's the new wave of wellness that digs deeper than decluttering—less about what you're getting rid of, and more about why you're holding on. Whether it's your closet, your home, or your headspace, this four-step process helps you clean with clarity. Emotional baggage, begone! And speaking of cleansing… we welcome special guest Brook Kennedy, owner of Suite B Hair and Skin Lounge in Issaquah. She gives us the glow down on all things' skincare from SPF facts (spoiler: the sunscreen in your makeup probably isn't enough), to how your skincare should shift with the seasons of life. We also get the truth about dermaplaning—does the hair grow back thicker, and how often should you do it? So, grab your gua sha and your emotional inventory—we're scrubbing the surface and what's underneath. Because when it comes to style and skincare, the glow must go on. Happy Listening!

Prepare for a significant global shift as Neptune, the planet of illusion, spirituality, and transcendence, moves into the fiery sign of Aries from roughly from 2025 to 2039, marking a profound decade of revolution and change, unlike anything most of us have witnessed in our lifetimes. Key Takeaways: -Major shift towards revolutionary change & reinvention -Dissolving old conflict paradigms & moving into inclusion and unity -Learning to trust your intuition & act on it courageously -Take inventory of your fears and turn them into productive forces -Time for action-based growth and developing spiritual connection -Reflect on old toxicity & how you healed it Aries, as the initiator of the zodiac, embodies pioneering spirit, fiery boldness, courage, and the drive to fight for a cause. It's the energy of the warrior, eager to initiate something new and stand up for what it believes in. When Aries’ fire merges alchemically with Neptune's watery, illusive nature, which dissolves old structures and beliefs, it will gradually dissolve old paradigms of conflict, transforming the way we fight and stand up for what is greater, higher, and truer. This era asks us to move towards inclusion rather than division. As Neptune enters Aries, consider what is shifting and dissolving within you. Aries governs our gut instinct – will we trust and act upon it, or ignore it to our detriment? Neptune's influence can highlight toxic relationships and addictive behaviors. Embrace the courage of Aries to make definitive changes, follow through with your actions, and have faith in the process. Neptune in Aries signifies action-based transformation. It's about "putting your money where your mouth is," aligning your actions with your deepest beliefs. Prepare for a shift in your rational mind as you increasingly tap into your intuition, telepathy, and psychic clarity – flex these inner muscles. This is a beautiful time for reinvention and self-discovery, allowing us to evolve individually and collectively. Take a fear inventory, identify your deepest anxieties, and create an action plan to transform them into productive forces. Think about what you’re afraid of losing and what you’re afraid of not getting. While this transit offers incredible potential, be careful to avoid blindly following external narratives; prioritize listening to your own inner truth. Resist the urge to over-analyze or make hasty decisions. Instead, strive to be in the flow, noticing when your actions stem from anger or aggression. Prioritize your gut instinct over practical rationalization – overthinking is often a sign you are pushing aside your intuition. Neptune in Aries is about connecting with the higher power flowing through you. Listen more deeply to your instincts and intuition, balancing decisive action with thoughtful reflection. Ask for divine guidance and be open to receiving it. Neptune exists on the fine line between genius and madness, making this a potentially confusing time. Recognize when you are caught in a web of your own making, not centered in your truth. Notice the difference between genuine insights and plotting delusions, becoming aware of any "crazy-making" behaviors or feelings. Reflect on past experiences where toxicity pervaded your life – what initiated healing and change? Are there areas where you are limiting yourself, trapped by your ego? Remember, as spiritual beings in a human experience, you are capable of unlimited potential.

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Her Marriage Was "Dissolving", Now It's Saved & Growing: Kalee's Story Before she began the Delighted Wife program, Kalee was in a place of deep discouragement. She and her husband, Chris, had been married for eight years, built a beautiful family together, and yet, they felt utterly lost. Their marriage was dissolving, and hopelessness had settled in. She didn't see a way out. But God did. In His divine intervention, Chris was introduced to the program through a friend who had experienced transformation in his own marriage. Chris took a step of faith, signed up for the program, and invited Kalee to do the same. What she didn't realize was that the biggest transformation wouldn't just be in her marriage—it would be in herself. Finding Confidence, Finding Herself Kalee entered the program believing that her marriage was the only problem. But as she journeyed through the teachings, she came to see something deeper. She lacked confidence. She didn't understand her worth. She had been seeking validation in others, rather than allowing God to restore her from the inside out. Through the program, Kaylee began to see how deeply God loved her, how valuable she was, and how her identity wasn't defined by the struggles of the past. And as she changed, so did her marriage. A Marriage Restored Kalee and Chris both went through the program separately, which turned out to be a gift. After years of couples' therapy, they found that what this program allowed them to do was heal separately rather than working together. Instead of coming at each other with blame, they were each able to focus on their own growth, healing, and the changes they personally needed to make. The result? A marriage that was once on the brink of destruction was now filled with trust, forgiveness, and connection. The barriers of past hurts were broken down, and they began to see each other through fresh eyes. Kalee describes it as the first time in years she didn't feel fear lingering in her mind about the future of their marriage. She and Chris were finally on solid ground, and for the first time in a long time, they had peace. A Ripple Effect of Joy in Her Home But this transformation didn't just stay between Kalee and Chris—it overflowed into their home. Their children, especially their oldest daughter, began to experience the difference. Their daughter, who had been cautious and unsure about marriage because of what she had witnessed in their home, was now talking about her own future as a wife and mother. In her playtime, she began to play “Mom” and “Wife”, something that Kalee had never seen before.Where once there was tension and uncertainty, now there was joy. She saw her parents in a new light—loving, affectionate, and truly connected. There is Hope for You Maybe you find yourself where Kalee once was. Maybe you feel hopeless, uncertain, and afraid that your marriage won't survive. But let me encourage you—God is still in the business of restoring marriages. He still brings beauty from ashes. He still makes all things new. If Kalee's story resonates with you, I invite you to take a step toward healing. Don't let fear or hopelessness hold you back. Your marriage can be transformed. Your home can be filled with peace and joy. It starts with taking that first step. God bless you on your journey. He is able, and He is faithful. Love, Belah & Team PS - If you're ready to take the step that Kalee made, schedule a free Clarity Call here. Not quite ready for that yet? Take our free online Marital Health Assessment to learn more about the current health of your marriage and next steps to take. PPS - Here is a quote from (another) recent graduate: "I feel so much more joyful. I have learned how to be playful and silly again…I am growing in my understanding of my value based on Christ's righteousness, not my own accomplishments. My eyes have been opened to many areas where I am Martha instead of Mary…I have so much more hope for the future…We are a more joy-filled family…there is HOPE and we are healing!”

In this episode, we sit down with Valeria Becattini, a cognitive scientist and philosopher, to explore the paradoxical effects of body-scan meditation on our sense of self. Drawing from her research, Valeria explains how this Theravada Buddhist practice challenges our typical understanding of attention and sensory awareness. Using the predictive processing framework, she reveals how focused attention can lead to the dissolution of bodily boundaries, a phenomenon known as bhaṅga. Together, we delve into the implications of her findings for well-being and discuss how this meditative technique could inform therapeutic approaches for addiction, emotional dysregulation, and self-regulation. Join us for a thought-provoking journey into the intersection of philosophy, neuroscience, and contemplative practices.
Host Scott Riley speaks with Dr. Allison Duffy, PharmD, BCOP, UMB's Mentor of the Year about her thoughts on what defines mentoring, what it means to be a good mentor, and her suggestions for how to become a better mentor.
In this episode of Shed and Shine, Gino Wickman unpacks the ego's role in shaping our fears, anxieties, and judgments. He explains how the ego acts as a protective shell formed by past experiences, but also how it can block us from connecting with our True Self. Gino contrasts these “ego states” with soul-driven emotions like love and joy, highlighting the power of dissolving the ego to gain clarity and peace. Drawing from his journey with meditation, therapy, and plant medicine, Gino shares how these practices helped him quiet the ego and embrace life more fully. He explores the “judgment triple whammy” of judging others, self-criticism, and fearing others' judgments, encouraging listeners to cultivate awareness and reframe mistakes as opportunities for growth. Through self-reflection and honest conversations, we can shed ego-driven reactions, embrace imperfection, and move closer to our authentic selves. What might you let go of to shine more brightly?

In this episode I am joined by Dr. William Rory Dickson an associate professor of Islamic Religion and Culture at The University of Winnipeg and author of “Dissolving into Being: The Wisdom of Sufi Philosophy”. Professor Dickson takes a deep dive into the life and works of Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī (1207-1273 AD), a 13th century Sufi poet whose works have become famous all around the world.

What I mean by it is the different parts of ourselves that drain us, that cause us to be not free. In fact, the word mara, which is the word for demon in Sanskrit, means that which blocks freedom.” – Lama Tsultrim AllioneSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Daily 10 #2! Coming at you from the beach after my brain tried to convince me that the blissful beach goers would judge me for something I do regularly. All good always. Happy new year!
Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes and to listen to all episodes of The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Lawrence Yeo is a storytelling teacher and the founder and writer at MoreToThat.com. He writes stories about the nuances of the human condition. He's become one of my favorite writers over the past few years and regularly makes me rethink what I believe. Notes Envy: Envy is inversely correlated with self-examination. The less you know yourself, the more you look to others to get an idea of your worth. But the more you delve into who you are, the less you seek from others, and the dissolution of envy begins. Curiosity is gratitude for the unknown – “The key to cultivating curiosity is to have a healthy relationship with uncertainty.” Lawrence is called the L.S.E. by his wife. The Life Story Extractor. Ask More Questions to Those You Love - It's quite shocking how few questions you ask when you're with people you're comfortable with. If you're no longer curious to know about the person in front of you (friend, wife, parent), then that relationship is devoid of life. Your Values: Your values are as unique as your genes because no one shares the exact set of experiences and insights that were required to form them. They are the fingerprints of your being, and they are the invisible forces that guide everything you touch. Integrity is the ability to navigate the outer world without discounting your inner values. There is an anchor of authenticity that you're unwilling to budge, no matter how fervently people want you to.” Confidence is a commitment to trusting your inner compass, despite how strong the outer winds are. If you do the work to know yourself, then you'll realize that no external voice can convey the inner complexities you embody. And through that awareness, you'll reliably choose your intuition above all else. The Problem with Following Your Passion - Ultimately, you can't live off your love for something. It doesn't matter how powerful your inner engine of expression is; without the fuel of money, you will stall out and be left on the side of the road. And like it or not, the only way for this fuel to be provided to you is to create something valuable enough to warrant that exchange. Ambition - Ambition is critical to the development of a healthy mind. Not only does it allow you to know who you truly are, but it also acts as a gateway to humility. Since ambition is about putting the bar ahead of you, you'll understand your shortcomings in a visceral way." Ambition breeds humility. Always setting the bar ahead of where you are. "I'm not quite there yet." “This email brought me to tears.” -"Hi Lawrence, I just came across your site and love what I am reading. Great insights and reflects a lot of my thoughts lately, like the last 20 years. I'm 72, stage four cancer, and the happiest I've ever been because I have the luxury of being able to examine my life. Best self-help ever. I'm looking forward to reading more of your writing." Writing: 2 types of writing: Writing to think. Writing to present. Journal vs. Diary. Journal is asking why you feel the way you do. A diary is a catalog of what happened. Have a job that acts as a patron for your creative work. Moretothat.com -- There's always something deeper. Advice - Learn storytelling. Consistency is the driving force of your curiosity.
It's the last show of the week as tomorrow night is the first night of some much-needed deep cleaning and weekend redecorating at the studio. So this evening we are just going to continue analyzing media reaction, mental health issues on display, and more. The 250th Anniversary of the United States is being talked about in big ways, which will include state/world fairs, and more! KrisAnne Hall gets on the phone with us in the second half to answer some questions about Income Tax and dissolving federal agencies/departments.
