What does becoming a mother do to your brain, body and sense of self? Anita — currently in her third trimester —  puts that question to science writer Lucy Jones. Lucy spent years studying matrescence, a word for the shift that happens during pregnancy, childbirth and becoming a parent. They talk about Lucy's own path through motherhood and why we need new ways to support mothers through this transformation that never really ends. Meet the guest:- Lucy Jones is the author of “Matrescence: On Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood”Read the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied

What if you've been surviving your life instead of actually living it, and you didn't even know it? ✨ Enrollment for the Ziva Experience is officially open. Meditation to dissolve stress at the root, embodied manifesting to turn emotion into fuel, and a community built to hold you through all of it. Join us now → experience.zivameditation.com In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Tammy Lewis, a business owner, mother of two, and now a Ziva Guide, to trace what changed between the version of her quietly holding everything together and the version of her now manifesting a cross-country move, a new school, and an entirely different marriage, with speed and ease. Before Ziva, nothing was broken, but everything was heavy: she was managing everyone else's emotions while hers sat at the bottom of the list. "It was getting by," she says. "I was surviving my life instead of actually living it." She found Ziva in 2021, and between being consistent with her daily Ziva Meditation practice, two pilgrimages, and years of practicing Ziva Magic's embodied manifesting formula, she learned to tell a thought that's “of her” from guidance that moves “through her.” Now her emotional lows resolve in minutes instead of days, manifestations show up almost daily, and she sums up her reality in one line: "Honestly, everything feels like magic." In this episode, they explore: The “before” picture: a good, full, busy life that was still a constant clench in the body — holding, managing, getting by The internal tool of asking what's “of me” versus what's “through me” during meditation, and how it sharpened her guidance How clearing childhood-level stuff she didn't know needed clearing kept expanding her capacity to receive Manifesting a cross-country move, a new school, and a mountain home in the same ten days she got clear on what her family truly wanted Her first, reluctant encounter with emotional alchemy at a Costa Rica retreat, and why part of her still resists it today Growing up Catholic and the jolt of first hearing “use your pleasure to pray” Why the Ziva circles, not just the meditation, became the real differentiator — and her new role guiding them Key Moments: 00:00 – Meet Tammy Lewis: the before and after 03:21 – “It's literally all magic”: journaling on Persephone before the call 06:53 – Her most recent evidence of magic: leaving expat life in Panama 09:06 – Turning guidance into action, Michael Jackson-style 10:51 – The tool: what's “of me” and what's “through me” 12:11 – The before picture: who was Tammy pre-Ziva 13:43 – The weight of life as a constant clench in the body 15:19 – Clearing invisible cages she didn't know were there 17:47 – Life now: shorter lows, funnier meetings 20:59 – Her son's word of the year: friendship 23:15 – Describing the meditation: the first practice she's ever craved 25:31 – Embodied manifesting: it's the feeling, not the thing 28:26 – The speed of manifesting and collapsing timelines 31:39 – Her first emotional alchemy experience, reluctantly, in Costa Rica 34:39 – The myth of Persephone and the underworld 38:03 – Pleasure as prayer, and her Catholic upbringing 43:03 – Leading the Ziva circles: community as the real differentiator ✨ The Ziva Experience is open for enrollment. Meditation to dissolve stress at the root. Embodied manifesting to turn your emotions into fuel. A mantra ceremony and a community built to hold you through all of it.

What happens when life invites you to slow down, listen within, and rediscover who you truly are? In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Healing You Method Podcast, Gloria Lybecker and Gail Donohue welcome Saloua Lahlou for a deeply honest conversation about identity shifts, motherhood, corporate burnout, emotional healing, nervous system regulation, self-discovery, and conscious living. Saloua shares her journey through personal transformation, navigating loss, emotional pain, and the tender process of letting go of old versions of herself. Through her story, she offers insight into what it means to move from disconnection and striving into greater alignment, self-awareness, holistic success, and inner healing. Together, Gloria, Gail, and Saloua explore how life transitions can become sacred invitations — not to force change, but to pause, listen, and reconnect with what is true. In this episode, we explore: • Women in transition and identity change • Nervous system regulation and emotional healing • Letting go of old versions of yourself • Self-love, self-awareness, and inner healing • Corporate burnout and finding alignment • Motherhood, purpose, and holistic success • Healing through mindfulness, nature, and community • Conscious living and personal transformation • Trusting the wisdom of slowing down • Creating a life that feels aligned from the inside out This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, disconnected, burned out, or afraid of change. It is a reminder that transformation does not always begin with doing more — sometimes it begins with slowing down enough to hear yourself again. If you are navigating a season of transition, healing, personal growth, motherhood, identity change, or emotional renewal, this episode offers grounded wisdom, compassion, and encouragement for the journey. Transformation begins within.

China is rapidly emerging as a global leader in robotics and embodied artificial intelligence, leveraging its manufacturing scale and deep supply chains to shape the future of automation. In this episode of Pekingology, CSIS Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Wendy Chang, Senior Analyst at MERICS, to unpack the significant advances – and limitations – of China's robotics sector and its embodied AI ecosystem. They discuss the politics that have driven huge amounts of capital towards innovative Chinese robotics companies, why China's humanoid robots may not be quite as impressive as they initially appear, and the global implications of China's robotics ambitions. To learn more about China's embodied AI strategy, you can read the new MERICS report from Wendy Chang, Rebecca Arcesati, and Altynay Junusova: Embodied AI: China's Ambitious Path to Transform Its Robotics Industry.

Confidence isn't something you think your way into, it's something you build through evidence, one kept promise to yourself at a time. In this episode of Embody Radio, I'm breaking down the real, unglamorous habits behind my own grounded, embodied confidence: committing to hard goals and actually seeing them through, learning to be more bite than bark, having the hard conversations I used to avoid, unmasking the performed version of myself I built to seem more "palatable," developing personal style instead of chasing trends, raising my risk tolerance, and getting honest about my own blind spots.   This isn't a surface-level pep talk about loving yourself. It's the actual mechanics of how self-trust gets built, and why so many women who seem confident on the outside performing confidence instead of deeply embodying it. If Part 1 of this arc was about why body trends can never deliver the confidence they promise, this episode is the answer to what does: proof, not performance. - For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get up to 39% off Mitopure Gummies with code EMDUNC and make wellness easier than ever.

A call to place disability at the center of climate and disaster responsesEvery disaster is a disability disaster, argues Angela Frederick. Disabled Power: A Storm, A Grid, and Embodied Harm in the Age of Disaster (NYU Press, 2025) tells the stories of Texans with disabilities who endured the 2021 Texas power crisis, which forced millions of Texas residents to endure a dayslong winter storm without heat or water. Based on 58 in-depth interviews with disabled Texans and parents of disabled children, Frederick highlights how disabled people and those with chronic health conditions are uniquely harmed when basic infrastructure such as power and water systems fail. She argues that the vulnerability people with disabilities experienced during this disaster was not an inevitable consequence of individual disabled bodies. Rather, disability vulnerability was “produced” by policies that “disabled” vital infrastructure.Frederick also emphasizes another meaning of the phrase “disabled power:” the individual and collective resilience and creativity Texans with disabilities exercised to survive the disaster. Despite common perceptions of people with disabilities as passive victims, Frederick shows how many found strategies to survive and to provide and receive care within their communities. Ultimately, the implications of this disaster extend far beyond Texas and underscore our increased vulnerability to infrastructural failures as extreme weather events become more common. Disabled Power offers a blueprint for reimagining vulnerability and resilience to center people with disabilities in disaster research and emergency response.

Why do we feel the need to play small in our lives? What keeps us from sharing our gifts and living in our fullness? It turns out that the nervous system impacts our expression more than we might have realized. We're wired for survival and safety, so stepping outside of the box, even to take a healthy risk, feels deeply dangerous. Knowing this, is there a way to expand oneself while also acknowledging the human need to stay protected? As we wander through the forest, consider your own narrative. Have you chosen to stay hidden? If so, are you ready to emerge into the fullness of who you came here to be? What am I reading?Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness (Book 2: The All Souls Series)https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780143123620The Black Bird Oracle Deckhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593976227The Book of Ritual Baths: A Guide to Spiritual Cleansing and Renewal by Chanda Parkinsonhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780738780139https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega What's for dinner? Black Bean Burgers Ingredients2 cans black beans, drained, rinsed, and patted dry1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil3/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper1 cup finely chopped yellow onion 3 garlic cloves, minced 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin1 teaspoon chili powder1/2 teaspoon garlic powder1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika1/2 cup bread crumbs 1/2 cup feta cheese2 large eggs 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce2 Tablespoons ketchup, mayo, orBBQ saucepinch salt + pepperInstructions:Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).

Somewhere between 20-50% of children are picky eaters at some point in early childhood, and many of us assume that's just how kids naturally are. But after historian Helen Zoe Veit spent more than a decade reading memoirs, cookbooks and parenting manuals from the past 200 years, she came to a radically different conclusion: picky eating is not inevitable. It is a modern cultural phenomenon. She tells Anita how we got here — to the age of bland kids' menus and dinner tables ruled by toddlers yelling ‘yucky!' Plus what lessons history has for modern-day parents.Meet the guest:- Helen Zoe Veit is the author of “Picky: How American Children Became the Fussiest Eaters in History” and an associate professor of history at Michigan State UniversityRead the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied

In business, we often focus on what needs to get done: the task list, the launch plan, the sales strategy, the priorities, the action steps. But the deeper question is not just what needs to happen. It is who you need to be in order to do what needs to be done most effectively. In this episode, Cait invites you into a simple but powerful reflection on the energy behind your execution. As entrepreneurs, especially during seasons of discipline, devotion, selling, and finishing strong, it can be easy to move into productivity mode and focus only on checking boxes. But your results are not just determined by what you do. They are deeply influenced by who you are being while you do it. Tune in to hear: Why your energy matters just as much as your action The difference between doing from force and doing from embodied power How to bring feminine wisdom into business discipline and execution Why checking the box is not always enough to create the result you want The question that can help you clear stagnant energy and move forward with more potency How who you are being while selling impacts whether people feel compelled to buy Why devotion, discipline, and feminine embodiment can coexist A simple reflection to help you finish strong without disconnecting from your power If this episode resonates with you, don't forget to share it to your stories and tag @themillionairemother, or leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts-it helps more mamas find this show.

In this episode, I speak with Ukrainian psychologist and trauma trainer Kateryna about what it means to practice embodiment, resilience, and trauma-informed care while living through the ongoing reality of war. Drawing on four years of frontline experience training therapists, healthcare professionals, lawyers, veterans, and humanitarian workers, Kateryna shares what she's learned about supporting others when safety is not something that can simply be restored. We explore what this means for coaches and therapists, examining the challenge of working with nervous systems that cannot fully leave survival mode. Kateryna reflects on the limits of conventional trauma models in the context of prolonged crisis, why self-regulation must become an everyday practice rather than a one-off intervention, and how embodiment helps practitioners stay connected to themselves while continuing to serve others. Together, we discuss burnout, sustainable helping, and the importance of building capacity rather than waiting for ideal conditions. The conversation also explores the personal impact of growing up professionally in the midst of war, the relationship between meaning and resilience, and how purpose can become one of our greatest psychological resources. Mark brings both warmth and curiosity to the discussion, asking how years of witnessing suffering, loss, and moral complexity have shaped Kateryna not only as a trauma specialist, but as a human being. Along the way, we discuss trauma-informed communication, working with veterans, the importance of community in recovery, the realities of long-term humanitarian work, and why embodiment offers more than regulation alone—it provides an anchor for meaning, connection, and the capacity to remain fully human in the most challenging of circumstances. ----------------------------------------------- Become a certified embodiment coach.

Our bodies, relationships, culture, suffering, work, spiritual battles, and life experiences all shape us in significant ways. Yet none of these influences alone defines who we are. As image bearers created by God, we are embodied souls who live before him, responding to both blessings and hardships in a world full of competing influences. In this episode, Mike Emlet, Jonathan Holmes, and Gunner Gundersen continue CCEF's series on our seven distinctives by exploring the third distinctive: We are embodied souls shaped by a world of influences. Together they discuss: Why our bodies matter for faithful care How relationships, culture, and suffering shape our lives Why spiritual warfare remains an important reality in counseling The danger of reducing people to a single explanation or diagnosis How slowing down helps us care for people more wisely Why the local church is uniquely equipped to know, love, and walk alongside people in all their complexity This conversation invites us to see people more fully—and to reflect the patient, compassionate care of Christ as we walk with them.

Hello Interactors,Welcome to summer where Interplace turns its attention to physical geography and the environment. It's already a crazy El Niño — thanks in large part to global warming — and the United States is having a big birthday. How might these be related and what to do about it?What follows is not a celebration or a condemnation, but more of a reckoning. I look at what was built, what was deliberately forgotten, and what is now continually arriving, season by season, in forms of weather the founders could not have imagined.Although Alexander Humboldt — one of the world's most famous scientists at the time — did warn Jefferson of the effects of human-induced climate change in 1804. He based his prediction on changes he observed in forests and water systems as a result of mono-crops and industrial “steam and gas”. Jefferson ignored him.BUILDING, BURNING, BILLOWING BACKOn this momentous 250th Fourth of July, when the world is experiencing record level extreme weather events, let's reflect on how over the last 250 years the United States helped build, extract, and then burn the material and political conditions that made climate change possible. From the beginning, it tied itself to land, extraction, mobility, and expansion. Over time those commitments became an energy system built on coal, oil, gas, highways, suburbs, industrial agriculture, and a development model that treated nature as an inexhaustible storehouse. That legacy is now legible in the atmosphere itself. Let's light a Roman Candle in celebration!Even before the 4th of July fireworks celebrations create another nationwide 42% average increase in fine particulate matter (Seidel, et al., 2015), the United States bears the single largest share of cumulative historical CO₂ emissions of any nation . We represent roughly 20 percent of the global total since 1850 contributing approximately 0.2°C of warming to date (Carbon Brief, 2021; UNEP, 2023). To represent four percent of the world's current population and be responsible for nearly a fifth of its cumulative warming is not a coincidence of geography or fake news. It is the outcome of deliberate choices about how a republic would be organized, energized, and expanded across two and a half centuries.The United States has long imagined freedom in spatial terms: movement, property, settlement, mastery, frontier, and circulation. Those abstract ideals were made real through land theft and remade landscapes, as well as through infrastructure built in significant part by African and African American enslaved labor. Each step along the way depended on ever-greater throughput of energy, labor, and material. In that sense, the country's history is also a history of how thought became organized around extraction and exploitation, until those thoughts and actions themselves became a kind of common sense. But by the late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries increased industrialization meant emissions grew. They surged during the postwar era and peaked in the early 2000s — a trajectory that maps almost exactly onto the spatial project of suburban expansion, highway construction, and fossil-fuel-dependent agriculture (Climate Change Tracker, 2024). Two-thirds of the country's cumulative warming impact derives from fossil CO₂ alone. The built environment of American freedom is as inseparable from the chemical footprint it left behind as a firecracker's scattered debris and carbon residue.This leaves us with a climate crisis that is not just the result of a few bad policy choices in the late twentieth century. We exist in a cumulative outcome of a long national project that normalized combustion as prosperity and treated atmospheric consequence as some distant abstraction. Kind of like turning up the radio to drowned out the sound of your car making a funny noise. The federal state government played a central role in this process. Not only through direct policy and subsidies, but through the development of roads, ports, power systems, agricultural regimes, and military logistics that expanded the scale of fossil dependence at every scale of national life.The fossil fuel industry understood this trajectory earlier than the public was permitted to know. A systematic analysis published in Science found that ExxonMobil's own scientists accurately projected and skillfully modeled global warming due to fossil fuel burning from as early as 1977. These projections are consistent with subsequent observations. And yet, for decades, the company publicly pushed doubt and denial (Supran, Rahmstorf, & Oreskes, 2023). Consequently, what America projects as “economic growth”, fueled enormously by the fossil fuel industry, is embedded not only in a collective national memory but in the scientific record.The irony is that America's confidence in its own permanence rested on a false sense of geography. The landscape seemed stable because the costs were displaced in the form of upstream mining, downstream pollution, hidden emissions, imported and exported harm, and deferred climate effects. The effects on the atmosphere made that displacement impossible to sustain. The ‘progress' that had been scattered across space and time returns as heat, drought, fire, flood, and increasingly volatile weather. We built a world in which the rewards of extraction were immediate while the penalties were delayed. Call it what you will — the climate crisis is just the debt of delay, dressed as disaster.KNOWING, NEGLECTING, NEUTERING KNOWLEDGEThe USA did not simply keep burning and expanding on autopilot. By the late twentieth century, it had also begun to lose the institutional capacity to understand what its own trajectory meant. The problem was no longer that the 1970's scientific picture Exxon had already portrayed was absent. The evidence was clear. By the early 1990s the United States had ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and formally accepted the goal of returning greenhouse-gas emissions to 1990 levels by the end of the decade.The barrier to progress was not ignorance, but a degraded relationship between knowledge and power. This was engineered in part by more fossil fuel industry campaigns to sow doubt about science it privately accepted. Historians of science Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway documented how a loose-knit network of industry-connected scientists ran effective campaigns to mislead the public on issues from tobacco to climate change. They exploited the media's tendency toward false balance and keeping controversy alive long after scientific consensus had been reached (Oreskes & Conway, 2010). The strategy was to make certainty seem uncertain, and it worked. For decades, political inaction persisted through every window of action that may have helped.By the mid-1990s, climate change had become legible enough for federal institutions to name, study, and plan around, but the machinery of governance was being bent in the opposite direction. Newt Gingrich and the Republicans who rose with him may not have invented anti-government politics, but they weaponized it. Curiously, through pro-governmental politics. While their rhetoric promised efficiency and modernization, in practice it often meant cutting staffs, weakening committees, abolishing subcommittees, and treating the legislature less as a site of deliberation than as a theater of permanent combat. After all, their own staffers affectionately referred to Gingrich and his wrecking crew as ‘jihadists' — even as those same politicians promulgated and attached that term as a slur toward Muslims. One of the most consequential acts of this period was the 1995 defunding of the Office of Technology Assessment. This was a bipartisan, independent body that had produced over 750 reports on complex scientific and technical questions since 1974, including major studies on energy policy, environmental risk, and the long-range consequences of atmospheric change. Gingrich had vowed to kill the OTA during his 1994 election campaign. He kept his promise, and with it eliminated one of Congress's primary mechanisms for converting scientific knowledge into durable legislative capacity (Wikipedia, Office of Technology Assessment; AAAS Science, 2019).A legislature cannot respond intelligently to a long-range atmospheric crisis if it has stripped away the very mechanisms designed to synthesize evidence, test assumptions, and tackle complex questions over time. What replaced deliberations mediated by experts was a vacuum quickly filled by industry lobbyists — the same industry that, amongst themselves, knew exactly what Gingrich was doing. Research on institutional dynamics in climate governance consistently finds that fragmented policy, weak intergovernmental coordination, and the erosion of technical capacity are among the most significant barriers to effective long-range climate action (Jaisridhar et al., 2025; Birchall, Bonnett, & Kehler, 2023).The thinning of Congress's own cognitive infrastructure in 1995 was a bureaucratic adjustment that disabled the country's capacity to govern on topics beyond the timescales and dimensions of a single administration. The political system was becoming less capable of converting recognition into sustained action precisely as the need for that conversion became most urgent. The United States not only helped create the conditions for warming but undermined its own capacity to govern the effects warming created. The atmosphere was warming and so was the willful weakening of the world's most powerful potential partner in planetary protection.CASCADES, CRISES, AND COMING TO TERMSWhat follows is not simply a warmer world, but a less legible and actionable one. Once a political system weakens its own capacity to think long-term, it becomes ill-equipped to face a future that arrives not as a single rupture but as a cascade of self-reinforcing disruptions. We've all experienced or read about hotter summers, fire, more erratic rainfall, stressed coasts, shifting storm tracks, and weather that no longer behaves as the old seasonal calendar once did. Anthropogenic warming is already increasing variability in frequency and severity of weather systems. This in turn can alter local precipitation variability, storm behavior, and the climatic conditions on which seasonal expectations have long depended (Robinson, 2021; Wang et al., 2017; Scher & Messori, 2019). In several regions, climate change is expected not only to shift average conditions but to change seasonal predictability itself — especially for rainfall — making the future harder to read through the calendars and risk assumptions modeled and built from the past (Le et al., 2023; Delsole et al., 2014).Even now, the atmosphere offers a live demonstration of this instability. On June 11, 2026, NOAA officially declared that El Niño has arrived — with a 63 percent probability of reaching “very strong” intensity, defined as sea surface temperature anomalies of at least +2°C in the equatorial Pacific. This would rank it among the largest events in the historical record (NOAA, 2026). What makes 2026 categorically different from prior super events is not just its projected intensity but its baseline. This El Niño begins from the warmest ocean temperatures in human history, layered onto anthropogenic warming that has already pushed the planet to 1.55°C above preindustrial levels.As one paper argued in April, the El Niño is the accelerant; the fuel was already stacked (Hansen et al., 2026). The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has placed an 86 percent probability on at least one year between 2026 and 2030 surpassing 2024 as the warmest on record, with 2027 — when El Niño's thermal lag typically produces its most extreme global signals — as the most likely candidate (WMO, 2026).When that variability is layered onto long-term warming, the result is not just discomfort but a deeper erosion of climatic predictability. ENSO — the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, the coupled ocean-atmosphere system that drives El Niño's periodic warming and its counterpart La Niña's cooling across the tropical Pacific — is not a new phenomenon, but its behavior is changing. Model evidence indicates that ENSO-related rainfall variability is likely to intensify and shift eastward under greenhouse warming, creating more severe and sometimes novel climate conditions across the terrestrial tropics (Cai et al., 2021; Rifai, Li, & Malhi, 2019). The question is no longer whether the climate will change, but how many of the social and political structures built on climatic regularity can survive that change.Climate change is often presented as a technical or environmental problem to be solved. Especially amidst a culture of pervasive techno-optimism. But climate change is way more fundamental than this. It's a reordering of the relationship between how we need to think and the geography in which we exist. This includes political geography and a reordering of political imagination as it relates to physical geography. The old originally envisioned republic of the USA assumed that land could be mastered, seasons could be predicted, and institutions could absorb shock without losing coherence. Those assumptions no longer hold.The old assumption that infrastructure could be planned around stationary baselines is increasingly at odds with the evidence. We can already see how energy systems show measurable vulnerability to climatic uncertainty and extremes. Modeled systems evidence declines in reliability and large performance gaps when future weather variation is not adequately incorporated into planning (Perera et al., 2020; Ouyang et al., 2023).As a result, the challenge ahead is not adaptation to these changes in the narrow sense, but reconstruction of our relationship to them in the broad sense. This may seem impossible in today's American political system, but truly Democratic societies will need stronger scientific institutions, more durable legislative capacity, and trustworthy public agencies able to interpret risk before disaster becomes routine. They will need not only infrastructure, but intelligence. Embodied intelligence — embodied engagement with physical and social environments rather than as a purely singular-brain augmented by LLM computation. This includes a renewed ability to gather, preserve, and act on knowledge over long horizons.The literature on adaptation governance is clear that resilience depends on organizational learning, intergovernmental collaboration, inclusive planning, and long-term institutional capacity. Short-term, reactive, market or donor-driven interventions that respond to emergencies without building the durable frameworks that prevent them won't work (Birchall et al., 2026; Rahman & Islam, 2024). What this means practically is the reconstitution of the kind of congressional expertise that was dismantled in 1995. We need not merely revive the OTA but to imagine a broader democratic intelligence infrastructure capable of thinking on the timescales that climate change demands — decades, generations, and centuries. Without that, climate change will continue to be experienced as a succession of emergency, political, or market conditions rather than as a governable transformation.We can do this. After all, a country that once imagined itself through movement, expansion, and mastery made a certain kind of freedom seem natural. A new kind of freedom can be made to seem natural too. But right now our current system returns prosperity for many — but heat, flood, instability, and constraint for all. What was built now must be lived within — good and bad — while what was extracted must now live in the atmosphere — all bad. What gets burned today, will burn more later. The political order that was built through extraction, combustion, and territorial expansion must confront the atmospheric and hydrological consequences of those choices.That confrontation will only intensify. Past century's cumulative emissions have already committed the planet to changes that will outlast any government, living generation, or institution that exists. Including you and me. The next 250 years will belong less to societies that imagine escape than to those that can build the institutional intelligence, infrastructural redundancy, and long-term public capacity required to inhabit a less legible and hospitable climate (Ouyang et al., 2023; Jaisridhar et al., 2025).So, as you watch the rocket's red glare and bombs bursting in air — sending even more smoke, chemicals and debris everywhere — know the flag will still be there. But to endure, it must repair an institution to be once again knowledgeable and fair.ReferencesBirchall, S. J., Villeneuve, K., Rose, D., Baran, N. N., & Adams, S. (2026).

In this episode of the Passive House Podcast, Jay Fox talks with Mikhail Haramati, NRDC's state industrial decarbonization lead, about her path from California energy efficiency programs and policy work at UC Berkeley and LBNL, through the California Energy Commission and NYSERDA, to her current focus on embodied carbon in building materials.They discuss the scale of the problem (cement and concrete alone account for about 8% of global emissions) and state-level policy momentum like Buy Clean initiatives and New York's Executive Order 22, which mandates EPDs and sets GWP limits for key materials. The conversation covers pathways to decarbonization—reuse and deconstruction, steel's reliance on recycled scrap and hydrogen-ready direct reduced iron, lower-clinker concrete mixes and SCMs, and mass timber—along with practical first steps for designers and policymakers: better data, smarter specs, and the right incentives and financing tools.https://www.nrdc.org/bio/mikhail-haramatihttps://collective.reimaginebuildings.comhttps://www.nyserda.ny.gov/Thank you for listening to the Passive House Podcast!

The Drone Contest and the Existential War in the East. Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. The speakers examine the significant shift in modern warfare embodied by the "drone contest" between Russia and Ukraine. This new form of engagement has produced a fuel crisis in Russia, with reports of diesel rationing and shortages in Crimea following Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries and storage facilities. Despite these disruptions, the front lines remain relatively static, as mass drone attacks have prevented major Russian breakthroughs. Germanicus frames the conflict as an existential engagement for the Kremlin, which believes it is waging a total national effort against NATOsurrogates who supply the funding, equipment, and operational data sustaining the war.1890 BRUSSELS

Tara and Priscilla talk about bodies. And teaching.  And learning.  In supposedly digital times.

Distinguishing Intuition vs Anxiety: Embodied Trauma Integration PracticesChristel Arcucci welcomes listeners to the Ecstatic Empath Show and explains an embodied soul purpose practice: learning to distinguish intuitive body wisdom from anxiety, the pain body, and trauma-based survival strategies. She frames the podcast on the assumption that every adult has experienced trauma, including both obvious events and seemingly small experiences that can leave imprints, and emphasizes that struggling with anxiety or depression does not mean you are broken. Through simple, low-stakes daily practices—choosing what to wear, what to eat, and whether to attend events—she teaches grounding with breath, present-moment awareness, and observing whether guidance feels loving, grounded, and clear or urgent, shaming, and fear-driven. She shares business training examples to illustrate FOMO-based wounding versus calm, firm intuition, offers journaling prompts.HYPNOSIS RECODE: If you're ready to consciously install a new operating system a Hypnosis Recode session is designed to Delete the default program, stop pouring energy into the life you've outgrown, and start living on your own terms. Book your session at https://www.empathrecode.com00:00 Intuition vs Anxiety00:12 Show Welcome01:20 Trauma and Pain Body04:26 Closet Choice Practice09:27 Eating Intuition Practice10:40 Events Fear vs Wisdom12:30 FOMO Training Story15:51 Rebuild Trust Practice18:40 Journal Prompts Guide19:47 Signs of Wisdom21:26 Daily Practice Invitation22:22 Closing and Recode OfferQuestions?

Movement and Identity: Multiculturalism, Somatic Awareness and Embodied Code-Switching (Singing Dragon, 2025) is a trauma-informed approach to counselling and bodywork explores the ways in which varying facets of identity and culture manifest in the body, allowing a much more nuanced, person-centred approach to client care. Marcia Bonato Warren, MA, MA, LPC describes how our bodies interpret our identities, often informed by cultural norms, communication styles, trauma, and systems of power and oppression. Therapists and bodyworkers reading this book will have the opportunity to engage personally and professionally, learning to build on their own somatic awareness in order to engage with compassionate curiosity rather than resistance when confronted with identity-based differences. Each section uses the SIA Loop, a mechanism representing three entry-points we use to process information: Sensation, Interpretation, Action, which supports the deeper work offered by the Identity Expression Infinity Loop, where identities are invited to move with strength and skill. These pioneering tools allow readers to examine their own somatic experiences, beliefs, behaviours, and choices, all of which is supplemented with journal prompts and questions. In guiding readers in how to interpret the body's expression of identity, this unique guide maximises the potential of therapists to foster change, increase empathy, and nurture connection through trauma-informed, somatically aware bodywork. Marcia Bonato Warren, MA, MA, LPC is a Somatic Counselor/Body Psychotherapist and Interculturalist with over 10 years of experience in the fields of somatic counseling and education, as well as 15 years of experience in international educational exchange and Native American policy and advocacy. She works with individuals and groups in the areas of cultural awareness, social justice, and intercultural communication through a trauma-informed lens, and is passionate about developing the potential in human beings to embrace diversity through cultural embodiment and the sharing of stories and creativity. Marcia is an enrolled member of the Santa Clara Pueblo (Tewa) in the state of New Mexico, U.S. and is of Brazilian-Italian heritage.

What it Takes to Be an Authentic, Embodied and Sustainable Leader While Staying Aligned With Your Core Values with Barbara San-Roman

A brief note. These episodes are prerecorded during a five-week period away. I am not tracking current events in real time. Hold what I offer here alongside what you are actually living.Tend What Is RealWe are in the first full week of Cancer season. The Solstice has turned. The light is beginning its slow arc back toward darkness, not as loss, but as the natural rhythm of a living world that knows how to move between fullness and rest. This week is quieter in its archetypal signature — an invitation to let what has moved through in recent weeks begin to settle into meaning.Key Cycles This Week:Thursday, June 25: Venus in Leo trines Saturn in Aries. Sun in Cancer squares Neptune in Aries. Two movements pulling in different directions. Venus trine Saturn brings grounding to the heart. After recent intensity, this transit supports commitment to what genuinely matters — relationships, creative work, values lived as practice rather than ideal. At the same time the Sun squares Neptune, bringing emotional blur and permeability alongside that clarity. Stay close to what grounds you. Let the blur be present without letting it make decisions.Saturday, June 27: Mars in Taurus sextiles Jupiter in Cancer. A genuinely nourishing contact. Embodied action in service of what genuinely nourishes. What you are doing and what you genuinely value may feel more aligned than usual today. Let this ease be felt. Mars is preparing for a significant transition and Saturday offers a good closing note before the crossing.Sunday, June 28: Mars enters Gemini, remaining until August 11. Six weeks of deliberate Taurus momentum gives way to something quicker and more multi-directional. Mars in Gemini brings ideas that become impulses, communication that becomes action. In a field already electrified by Uranus in Gemini, this adds further activation to the mental field. The invitation is to carry something of Taurus into the new sign — the deliberateness, the knowing of genuine resource — so that speed and discernment move together.Larger FrameCancer season asks not what you are building or achieving but what you are genuinely tending — with care, with patience, with attention that nourishes rather than extracts. That question is its own orientation in uncertain times.The large thresholds of recent weeks are working in the background as large transits do. Slowly. In the body. In ways that will take months and years to fully reveal themselves. This week offers something simpler: a moment of grounding in what genuinely matters, a closing of one chapter of action and the opening of another.Reflection QuestionsWhere this week does what I am doing and what I genuinely value feel more aligned than usual, and what does that alignment want me to notice?As Mars moves from Taurus into Gemini, what quality of the deliberate and embodied do I want to carry into faster more multi-directional terrain?In Cancer season's invitation to tend rather than achieve, what in my life is asking for more patient nourishing attention?Tend what is real. Move with discernment into what is new. Let Cancer season do its deeper work in you.The web of life is patient. It knows how to hold what is growing even when we cannot yet see it.If the themes of this transmission are resonating — the healing of our relationship to body, earth, and what genuinely nourishes — I want to let you know about two upcoming offerings rooted in exactly this territory.On July 11 I am offering a free Earth element taster workshop, Root in the Sacred. And on July 16, the Root in the Sacred group coaching program begins — a deeper container for those ready for sustained work with the Earth element, with the body, with what it means to belong to the living world on your own terms.You can find details on both at ontheedgesofchange.com under What's Open Now.Both are invitations, not urgencies. If they are calling to you, trust that.Support the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comThis episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

What it Takes to Be an Authentic, Embodied and Sustainable Leader While Staying Aligned With Your Core Values with Barbara San-Roman

What happens when a society possesses extraordinary technological power but lacks a shared sense of what that power is for? John Vervaeke, Jordan Hall, Guy Sengstock, and Christopher Mastropietro reunite for a sustained inquiry into normativity: the structures by which human beings perceive direction, value, responsibility, and the difference between better and worse action. The question becomes urgent in the context of artificial intelligence, where increasingly consequential decisions are being made inside a culture that struggles to articulate a coherent basis for judgment. The conversation begins with Guy's encounters with the AI community and the fear that humanity may soon make decisions it cannot reverse. From there, the group investigates modernity's technological understanding of being, the reduction of creation to artifacts, and the modern self's attachment to sole authorship. John and Jordan propose that meaning is participatory: intelligibility is not manufactured by isolated selves but emerges through shared authorship with other people, traditions, practices, and reality itself. The dialogue then turns toward virtue. If the problem is not simply ignorance but malformed attention and desire, knowing what should be done is insufficient. The deeper difficulty is how people become capable of wanting, perceiving, and participating in what is good. Socratic aporia, vulnerability, kenosis, embodied practice, pilgrimage, and dialogue are explored as ways of undergoing reorientation rather than merely acquiring information. In the final movement, the speakers discuss bad-faith dialogue, leisure, lingering, tourism, linguistic lostness, and doomscrolling. These apparently different subjects converge on one insight: when people remain sealed inside environments engineered around their existing capacities and preferences, they lose access to the forms of friction, surprise, and participation that can transform them. Key Insights Normativity is the directional structure through which actions appear better, worse, appropriate, or necessary. The AI crisis exposes a deeper cultural inability to answer what technology should serve. Modernity often confuses participation in creation with ownership of the resulting artifact. Meaning and intelligibility require shared authorship rather than sovereign individual control. Virtue cannot be transmitted as information alone; it requires transformed attention and participation. Embodied practices can reorganize abstractions because higher cognition remains rooted in sensorimotor life. Pilgrimage, leisure, and dialogos help people cross boundaries between worlds rather than consuming only familiar inputs. Doomscrolling is an efficient example of technology feeding hypertrophied capacities while narrowing participation in reality.

For most of the first few decades of his life, Indigenous writer and filmmaker Julian Brave NoiseCat didn't see much of his father, who left the family when Julian was 6. In the handful of times they did see each other over the years, that history of abandonment made it hard to connect. But when Julian was 28, he moved across the country and moved in with his dad to make a documentary and write a book about their family's history. Julian talks to Anita about how the decision to dig into his family's past and Indigenous history broke open his relationship with his dad and led to healing. He also shares how his questions about Native fatherhood have become more urgent now that he has his own son.Meet the guest:- Julian Brave NoiseCat is the co-director of the Oscar-nominated documentary Sugarcane and the author of "We Survived the Night" Read the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied

Mark Scandrette has spent over twenty years wrestling with a hard realization: knowing a lot about God doesn't mean you're good at following Jesus. Dave Kludt spent fifteen years in pastoral ministry learning that everything, down to how you arrange the chairs in a room, forms people. Together they co-teach a Doctor of Ministry cohort at Fuller Seminary built around two words: integral and embodied. Mark is the founder of Reimagine and author of Practicing the Way of Jesus and The Ninefold Path of Jesus, and a longtime friend of the podcast (he first joined us back on episode 112). Dave is the president of Reimagine's board, a former pastor of 15 years, and Mark's partner in this new cohort, a Substack, and an upcoming podcast.IN THIS CONVERSATION:Why "getting more information" doesn't lead to transformation, and what doesWhat Dave means by an "integral" approach to formation, and why it starts with facing the world's fractures honestlyWhat Mark means by "embodied" formation, and the Learning Lab model Reimagine uses to teach by doingWhy the leader of a Learning Lab has to be a participant, not just an expertMoving from a "closed fist" to an "open hand" posture toward your next stepWhy discomfort with failure gets in the way of formation in many churchesHow Mark and Dave use the Enneagram as a formation tool, not a personality quizThe "formation edges" Mark and Dave are each working on right nowMark and Dave's hopes for the Fuller Doctor of Ministry cohort on integral and embodied formationRELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:markscandrette.com — Mark's websitereimagine.org — Mark and Dave's organizationFuller Seminary's Doctor of Ministry programBooks mentioned:Practicing the Way of Jesus, by Mark ScandretteThe Ninefold Path of Jesus, by Mark ScandretteRELATED EPISODES:The Beatitudes and Spiritual Leadership, with Mark ScandretteThe Spiritual Life of a Leader, with Tod BolsingerThe Neuroscience of Spiritual Formation, with Jim WilderSend me a text!

Send me a some feedback!In this episode, Mike introduces a powerful new framework for understanding the creation process: The Ladder of Desire. After nearly a decade of studying creation, consciousness, and human potential, he explores the emotional and energetic states from which we create our lives—and why the feeling behind our desires may matter more than the desire itself.At the center of this conversation is the understanding that the soul carries the dream, the mind creates the vision, and the body receives the experience. The journey from need, to want, to preference, to vision, and ultimately to anticipation is the process of releasing attachment, building internal certainty, and preparing the nervous system to receive what the soul is calling you toward.Key Takeaways1. The state you create from determines the experience of creating.Creating from need and lack creates pressure, attachment, and fear. As you move up the Ladder of Desire, you release internal conflict and move toward a place of openness and receptivity.2. The soul carries the dream, the mind creates it, and the body must be willing to receive it.True creation requires more than a vision. The nervous system must feel safe enough to embody and receive the life you are creating.3. Most people confuse wants with needs.When we believe external circumstances are required for us to be okay, we create from scarcity rather than from conscious desire.4. Vision creates the possibility, but anticipation creates embodiment.The highest expression of desire is not hoping something will happen—it is developing the internal certainty that allows you to receive it when it arrives.5. Self-sabotage is often a nervous system response, not a lack of discipline.The body naturally seeks familiar circumstances. Growth requires teaching the nervous system that new levels of success, love, abundance, and fulfillment are safe to hold.Notable Quotes“The soul carries the dream. The mind creates. The body receives.”“You do not need more things to be okay. You need to stop turning your wants into needs.”“The creation process becomes easier when you release your attachment to the outcome.”“Hope is a wish. Anticipation is knowing it's on its way.”“Your nervous system's job is to keep you alive by keeping you in familiar circumstances.”Call to ActionClick Here for Mike's Meditation BundleClick Here for the YouTube Link: Installing Future You MeditationIf this episode resonates with you, spend some time working with the practices that help your body become receptive to the life you are creating. The Installing Future You meditation is designed to help you move from simply seeing your vision in your mind to embodying it within your nervous system.If you're ready to go deeper into this work and explore how your own patterns around receiving, creation, and embodiment may be impacting your life, reach out to Mike directly.

Hey friends, every month I do bonus episodes where I tackle questions from my Patreon community. For May, I hit 16 questions (see below). For this free bonus, I've included the first few questions. For the full thing, join a bronze, silver, or gold tier on my Patreon! You'll also get access to Extra Innings, Exiles conference content, free tickets, Zoom chats and more! Questions:0:52. If a pastor commits adultery, but repents, is he still disqualified from his office for the rest of his life in view of elder reqs in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1?7:55. What were your thoughts on the Pete Enns session at Exiles? In particular, how would you steel man his position about the flood narrative? 22:27. When Pete Enns spoke at Exiles I think he mentioned maybe Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses did not actually exist. What are your thoughts on this? 29:16. Advice for initiating movement into mutualism in practice & policy?31:50. How do "non-affirming" traditions engage the practice of ecumenical unity with "affirming" traditions? Does "Side A" operate outside the bounds of orthodoxy? 37:39. Is your family's current church egalitarian? If not, now that you've landed on a position, has that impacted your ability to serve/teach/etc?42:19. Why follow some OT laws (lying) but not others (shellfish, polyester)? Had an OT prof that taught that ‘ceremonial/civil/moral' distinction doesn't hold water46:07. If the annihilation theory is correct, how does that help people see their need for a savior? If you don't believe in God, ceasing to exist seems preferable. 48:13. Do you think the accommodating and not judging mentioned in Romans 14 could be applied to pronoun hospitality and how we interact with others we disagree with? 49:04. What spiritual rhythms feel most grounding for you in your ministry? And how do you balance a rhythm like scripture reading with scholarly work?50:46. How do you interact with non-Christian Biblical scholars? I have a hard time taking them seriously if they don't actually believe in what they're studying.52:56. I've read recently claims that most Israelites worshipped Asherah as Yahweh's wife and that it wasn't until later that she was condemned. Any insight?54:05. Has there been any updates or significant changes in research around gender dysphoria since Embodied was released?58:36. Do Jesus' statements in Matthew 19 and the Sermon on the Mount imply that anyone has grounds for divorce because lusting after someone is committing adultery?01:00:43. At what point does being wrong about theology become sin? I'm thinking of pre-civil-war churches preaching slavery was OK, and extrapolating to today's issues.01:02:41. I heard a conservative Christian reporter refer to individuals experiencing gender dysphoria as "gender confused." Do you consider this term pejorative?
