Episode 263 is with the Director of the new film "The Shift," Brock Heasley. The Shift is a modern-day retelling of the book of Job. Kevin Garner (Kristoffer Polaha) gets separated from Molly (Liz Tabish), the love of his life, when a mysterious adversary known as The Benefactor (Neal McDonough) sends him to an alternate dystopian reality. Will hope and faith be enough to find his way back? https://www.angel.com/movies/the-shift Brock Heasley Brock Heasley is a writer, filmmaker, and artist. After graduating from California State University Fresno with a degree in Graphic Design, Brock became a full-time Graphic Designer and, later, an Art Director. In 2006, he launched the online comic The SuperFogeys, and then co-created the online comic Monsterplex in 2010, which went on to win the DC Comics Zuda competition. In 2018, Brock's YA Contemporary novel Paper Bag Mask (Pen Name Publishing) was published, reaching the top of Amazon's Young Adult Fiction New Release chart in the first week. Brock's debut memoir, The Other Side of Fear: A True Coming-of-Age Story of Murder, Forgiveness, and the Peace Only Faith Can Bring, released in Fall 2020 from Cedar Fort Publishing. His writing has appeared on the Independent Journal Review and at ForEveryMom.com. In 2015, Brock left the Graphic Design world for the film world, working on and producing feature films for Tremendum Pictures, Blumhouse Productions, New Line Cinema, Warner Bros., and Lionsgate. In 2017 he released his directorial debut, "The Shift," about an ordinary man receiving a job offer from the Devil himself. The short film earned him an Outstanding Filmmaker of the Year Award from the Hollywood Dreamz International Film Festival and you can watch it here. His second short film, "The Two Hundred Fifth," about a young college girl with a dark past that comes back to haunt her on the day she chooses to reveal all to her best friend, had its World Premiere at the renowned Fantasia International Film Festival in 2019. In early 2023, Brock turned his short film, THE SHIFT, into a feature film to be released theatrically by Angel Studios in December 2023. Expanding on the story from the short, it stars Kristoffer Polaha, Neal McDonough, Elizabeth Tabish, John Billingsley, Rose Reid, Paras Patel, Jordan Alexandra, Jordan Walker Ross, and Sean Astin. Brock lives with his wife, three daughters, two dogs, and one cat in California.

Alex Choi has been involved in various professional pursuits since graduating. He joined a consulting company and worked as a research associate before moving back home to Indiana to pursue medical school. Alex obtained a master's in biology and physiology to secure admission to Indiana University School of Medicine. He met his wife in the second year of med school and they have two children. After medical school, Choi joined a private practice in Indianapolis, where he became the managing partner and president of the Anesthesia Consultants of Indianapolis. Alex also received a master's in public health and policy management, which helped him become more involved in public policy issues. He was the physician leader for the division at IU Health until last year when he stepped down to go into pre-retirement.  Alex left IU Health and joined another surgery center practice and was asked to be the Indiana Medical Director for the organization. He has been involved in various organizations, including the national society and state societies of organized medicine. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder over a decade ago and has since recovered from it. This inspired Alex to partner with people who formed the Zionsville Alliance for Mental Wellness Exam, a nonprofit that helps people navigate the mental health network system. He talks about his experiences in police and has been involved in public policy, working on the transition team for governors and serving on the Zionsville Town Council. However, he decided not to run for reelection to focus on his family and watch his children grow up. Misconceptions about Bipolar Disorder Alex discusses the challenges and misconceptions about bipolar disorder, a mental health issue that is a spectrum. He emphasizes the importance of not stigmatizing anyone with bipolar disorder or any mental health issues. Alex shares his own experiences with rapidly cycling episodes of mania and depression, which can last months, weeks, or months. He emphasizes the need for support networks and the importance of understanding that bipolar disorder is a chronic illness that can be overcome with the right therapy, support, and medications. He has been open about his journey and has used his town council status to put messages out about mental health treatment for mental health disorders. His openness has encouraged others to seek help.  A Governor's Role in Healthcare Alex has also worked on the healthcare transition team for two different governors and a new mayor. In the governors' case, he helped determine healthcare priorities for the state, discussing data and determining priorities. He had a one-sheet agenda and an open forum for discussing these topics. In the mayor's role, he became involved in the town's finances, overseeing the town's finances and overseeing the city's budget. The governor oversees the Department of Health and public health systems, which are interconnected and heavily influenced by Medicaid. In Indiana, the Medicaid system is administered by the governor's office through the Family and Social Services Administration, providing a safety net for those suffering from chronic illnesses or those unable to afford health care due to income or special status. As an unpaid lobbyist, Alex was involved in lobbying state representatives and advocating for better health care in Indiana. He ran for a state representative in a caucus election in 2015. Alex talks about why he wanted to be a state legislator and his efforts in that area, including pushing for the licensure of anesthesiologist assistants, a group of advanced providers, and establishing a program that graduates 24 anesthesiologist assistants annually to address shortages and anesthesia in the state. He talks about medical liability insurance in Indiana, and lobbying from the Trial Lawyers Association which led to increased limits on liability insurance costs. Despite these challenges, Alex believes that the state has made progress in improving healthcare policies and addressing the challenges faced by physicians and patients in Indiana. Expanding the Potential of Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants Alex discusses the potential of nurse practitioners and physician assistants to perform additional procedures that current regulations prohibit. He acknowledges that these areas vary from state to state, and medical schools and residencies must adhere to strict guidelines. However, he believes that there is higher variability in what is taught in medical schools and residencies, which can lead to a lack of qualified clinicians. He believes that medical schools and residencies will continue to train physicians to more complex procedures and specialties, leading to a shortage of doctors for certain procedures or patient types. As a result, physicians will need to push towards greater involvement from nurses and physician assistants but also ensure proper oversight.    Running a Political Campaign Alex talks about what he learned when running a campaign, which involves getting people to believe in oneself and their views. He found it challenging to run for office due to his full-time job and campaigning, but also appreciated the support of his family and friends. During his campaign, he faced opposition from the General Assembly, which passed one of the harshest anti-abortion laws after the DODDS decision. He had to navigate the public reaction and find a balance between advocating for pro-choice and expressing different views within a party.    Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Alex shares his personal and professional experiences with several courses and professors. He attended a church near his freshman year and was an usher. While there, he found the sermons of Professor Gomes helpful and realized the importance of his involvement in student lives.    Timestamps: 04:46 Bipolar disorder, treatment, and advocacy 12:14 Mental health treatment and government policy 18:52 Healthcare policy and legislation in Indiana 31:34 Medical professional scope of practice and campaign lessons learned 39:03 Mental health, politics, and career with former Indiana state senate candidate   Links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aschoi/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-choi-a4005b47/   CONTACT:  Email:alexander_choi@yahoo.com

In Part 2 Anita Schnee, a Feldenkrais Practitioner who is familiar with my work, introduced us to the Feldenkrais Work. In Part 3 she shared an Awareness Through Movement lesson. And now in Part 4 Dominique and I share our impressions of that lesson and the questions that emerged from it. Dominique is new to the Feldenkrais work so she asked questions I am sure many of you must have. So before Anita and I could get too carried away into the poetry of this work, Dominique kept us grounded in some practical questions that I think contribute very much to a basic understanding of the method.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Naomi Klein, professor of Climate Justice at the University of British Columbia, to discuss her recent book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israel and Hamas' prisoner exchanges and ceasefire, the arrest of an individual over the shooting of three Palestinian men in Vermont, the return from Congressional recess, labor action with Portland's teachers, Seattle's Macy's workers, and European Amazon workers, COP28, Meta's exploitation of kids, and Twitter's ad-emergency, also touching on Christ Murphy's comments regarding conditioning aid to Israel (like we do with everyone else). Naomi Klein then jumps right into her metaphor of “doppelgangers” in politics, and the mirroring and corruption of various political movements in the age of the internet. Expanding on this, Klein dives into the role of COVID as a major accelerant in this corruption, looking to the sudden unified radicalization of the wellness left and the ultra-religious right, and how it played into an increasing trend of rapidly dropping faith in US political institutions and their systems of accountability, with right-wing conspiracy offering a (pseudo) solution as the center and left continuously failed to provide theirs. Next, Naomi walks Sam and Emma through the far-right's active organizing around this tactic, with Steve Bannon's global network of far-right parties fusing the age-old phobias of fascism with weak claims of economic populism, and why the only true counter to that is a strong left-wing that presents and fights for genuine solutions to rampant economic and social inequality. After briefly touching on Israel's role as a doppelganger of Bannon's politics, attempting to solve anti-semitism not through acceptance and justice, but a hyper-nationalist project, before wrapping up with the coincidence of the loss of Bernie's campaign with the COVID-19 pandemic, and how it forced the left to reflect on its failures. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Dave Rubin and Trump's Ambassador to Israel rant about the immigrants behind rising anti-semitism, Meir Baruchin discusses his arrest and abuse by Israeli police over pro-Palestinian Facebook posts, and Lisa Booth and Charlie Hurt reflect on the biggest political story of the year – the woke crusade against gas stoves. They also reflect on the recent history of US-Israel relations, and Biden's legacy of an extreme commitment to Israel's imperialism goals, plus, your IMs!

In this episode host Peterson Toscano guides us through an exploration of the role forests play in addressing the causes and impacts of climate change, both in urban and rural settings. Six guests provide personal narratives, expert insights, and actionable strategies that will inform and inspire climate advocates. This episode also delves into Pennsylvania's rich forest history, from its old-growth forests to modern-day conservation efforts, highlighting the legacy of sustainable stewardship by its original inhabitants. Toscano notes, "PA has a legacy of being one of the more heavily-wooded states in the USA... But If you walk through the over 15 million acres of forests in Pennsylvania, only 1% of that is original old growth forest." This fact highlights the dramatic changes our landscapes have undergone and the need for renewed focus on forest conservation. Creating a Campus Food Forest If you want to make a difference on your own campus or in your community, students at Allegheny college have an answer for you. A Food Forest. Ashlynn Peachey, Nicholas Waddington, and Katie Mallory, students at Allegheny College talk about their pioneering Food Forest project.   Ashlynn Peachey: "It really started when one student years ago came to Allegheny College with a passion for permaculture... We like to look around the college landscape and see, not what it is, but what it can be." That student, Sebastian McRae, helped to found a campus Sustainable Design Team.  Nicholas Waddington, describes their project: "A food forest is a diverse planting... it provides a lot of climate and ecosystem services." He emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between different plant species and their collective role in enhancing ecosystem health. It was at the Northeast Student Farmer Conference held at Penn State University that CCR host, Peterson Toscano attended the students' breakout group about their successes in building campus support for the Food Forest. During the presentation they explain the steps they took to engage stakeholders, to design the Food Forest and to follow through once the project was approved.  Their story is a testament to the power of collaborative efforts and the importance of gaining community support. Nicholas Waddington: "From our combined years of engagement with this project, we've really taken away that climate and campus resilience is hugely community-driven... We're stronger and more productive when we work together." In this episode you will learn about sustainable agriculture and permaculture, (a word Bill Mollison coined,) and how you can replicate their success on your own campus or community. Raising the Awareness of a Healthy Forest Sustainability Legacy and our Responsibility Today Former forester and coal miner, Van Wagner, now teaches Agriculture Science at the Area High School in Danville, Pennsylvania. He is also a singer/songwriter and storyteller. Van Wagner offers a historical perspective, emphasizing the longevity of sustainable practices.  "I laugh when I read in my textbook, and in the textbook it says that the environmental movement began in 1970 with the first Earth Day... That's not when it started. My German ancestors here in the Susquehanna River Valley, they knew about sustainability, you didn't ruin the family farm, you didn't cut all the trees down." -Van Wagner In order to increase efforts to maintain and protect forests in the US Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Van has committed himself to visiting the highest point in the 67 counties and climbing the tallest tree he can find. Van explains, I'm trying to get the press's attention. And when they stick a microphone in my face, I talk about trees and forestry.” You can follow his progress on the site Van Wagner Highest Climbs. Also, see him climbing in videos on his YouTube channel.  Expanding the Legacy of Tree Growing in Small Country Towns and Big Cities Forests and Climate Change: Urban Renewal and Rural Stewardship Taylor Lightman grew up in the Borough of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, (population 5232) “a delightfully cozy little town nestled on the banks, the Susquehanna River, one of the oldest river valleys in the world, older than the Nile.” He then went to college in Northfield, Minnesota and then to grad school in Lund, Sweden where he completed a Master's in disaster risk management and climate change adaptation.  Today Taylor is the program Manager for Lewisburg Neighborhoods. He says, “I'm trying to figure out a way to do climate smart neighborhood revitalization. I think there's no better place to do that than in one's hometown” In this episode Taylor talks about the importance of growing trees in towns and cities.  "Trees are doing a lot of things for us. Streets with trees on them, the shops do better...people are driving on streets and roads with trees, they behave less aggressively too."  His insights reveal the extensive benefits of urban trees beyond just environmental impact.  Nerd Corner Dana Nuccitelli considers the question: what are the different ways we would benefit from planting more trees in cities and towns? This question is critical to CCLs healthy forest policy area. In regards to addressing the causes of climate change, Dana says, "Planting more urban trees in the U.S. has the potential to capture up to 100 million tons of carbon dioxide pollution per year."  But wait there's more! Urban tree planting offers multifaceted benefits, enhancing climate resilience, physical and mental health, and fostering active lifestyles and community well-being. And there is important work for us to do. Dana says,   "But while people in communities with more trees live longer, happier, healthier lives on average, America has a tree inequity problem. Communities of color have 33% less tree canopy on average than majority white communities."  To learn more Dana encourages you to visit Check TreeEquityScore.org to see where tree planting would be the most effective in your community to remedy this tree inequity problem.  Check out Dana's recent post about The little-known physical and mental health benefits of urban trees.

In this episode, Carrie, Rebecca, and Zack discuss: Why Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a proven treatment for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Why only 5% of clinicians are licensed to prescribe buprenorphine and how this drives traffic to the black market How telemedicine breaks down barriers and stigmas for clinicians and patients in the treatment of OUD, making them an ideal combination for addressing the opioid epidemic in the U.SKey Takeaways: What many people don't know is that we already have working solutions for opioid addiction and have for a very long time. A widely accepted treatment called Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is highly effective at keeping people alive. Breaking down barriers for clinicians as well as for patients is critical to the solution. Only 5% of clinicians are licensed to prescribe buprenorphine, a medication used in medication-assisted treatment. Many people who seek treatment are forced to get medication through the black market. There are two main problems that telemedicine solves in regards to getting a patient into a healthy long-term treatment: getting patients to opt-in and getting them to stick with treatment. “Telemedicine is great for allowing people to get treated privately, and do so in a way that fits into their schedule. It's also great at helping people stick with treatment.” - Zack GrayConnect with Zack Gray: Website: https://ophelia.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zack-gray-58437936 Twitter: https://twitter.com/zarkgray Learn more from Carrie and Rebecca: Healthcare Insights (a monthly deep dive into specific topics for innovators): https://nixongwiltlaw.com/healthcare-insightsTelehealth/Virtual Care Mgmt Update (a biweekly LinkedIn newsletter tracking legal and policy changes across the nation): https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/telehealth-virtual-care-update-6901900767960068096/ Website: https://nixongwiltlaw.com/ Carrie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrienixon/ Rebecca on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccagwilt/NGL on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nixon-gwilt-law/ Decoding Healthcare Innovation on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/decoding-healthcare-innovation/

Don't miss this episode if you're ready to redefine pleasure in birth, parenting, and birthwork! We explore not only the techniques for achieving orgasmic births but also the often-overlooked aspects of postpartum sex and reclaiming one's sexual life after childbirth. Our insightful guest navigates the political landscape surrounding the cultural tendency to sterilize and desexualize birth, shedding light on the empowering potential of intuitive, instinct-driven birthing experiences.    Suzannah Weiss is a writer, Certified Sex Educator, Sex/Love Coach, and a birth doula. Her writing on gender, sexuality, love, and social justice has been published and featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, and more. And most recently, Suzannah attended our Orgasmic Birth Practitioner Training. Her latest book "Subjectified: Becoming a Sexual Subject," is available for pre-ordering on Amazon.   In This Episode: Techniques for orgasmic birth and postpartum sex explored Addressing the politics of sterilizing and desexualizing birth in our culture The beauty of intuition and instinct in home births, shared by a gynecologist Recommendation of the Orgasmic Birth Practitioners program for doulas, midwives, nurses, and educators The intersection of orgasmic birth and somatic sexology, emphasizing the overlap in practices Expanding the definition of orgasm to include sensations beyond a sexual climax Practical tips for preparing body, mind, and spirit for an orgasmic birth experience   Key Takeaways: Orgasmic birth is not solely about the climax but extends to various sensations and experiences during childbirth Embracing pleasure in birth involves saying yes to the moment, being present, and surrendering to uncomfortable sensations Cultivating a lifestyle that promotes relaxation, outdoor activities, and self-nurturing enhances the potential for orgasmic birth Practices like breathwork, breast massages, and sexual exploration contribute to preparing for orgasmic birth Connecting with the intuition and instinct of mothers in home births can lead to beautiful and empowering experiences The Orgasmic Birth Practitioners program is recommended for birth professionals seeking a holistic approach     Key Quotes:   “Learning from a gynecologist that 80 percent of births can happen at home is eye-opening. It's beautiful to see mothers trust their intuition and instincts when allowed the freedom to birth in their own way." - Suzannah Weiss   "Orgasmic birth is not just an orgasm; it's about expanding your definition of orgasmic sensations during birth." - Suzannah Weiss     Connect with Suzannah!

PAUSE… We wait and we watch, Counting the moments as we stare, Completely oblivious to anything else around us. PAUSE… What we don't realize, Is that we're suffocating our desires,  The tighter we hold. And we become blind to the manifestations of our dreams, That aren't born inside of our fists. PAUSE… So dream, sweet one, Visualize and hope, And take action every single day. But peel back those fingers,  And loosen that grip. Widen your gaze, And detach from the outcome. So creativity can flow, And you can breathe. Breathe now, Pulling the air in deep into you, As it fills you up. And then release, As you exhale all that air out.  PAUSE… One more deep breath in, Expanding your belly and chest to their max, Gathering up those details, Thoughts, And worries, And then releasing them all, As you breathe out. PAUSE… Now, bring your breathing to a soft, easy rhythm, And be here for a bit. One with the movement of your body, One with the openness of your mind. LONG PAUSE… Holding on tightly to the outcome we want, Will not ensure we get it.  But it will steal our attention, Intensify our emotions, And cause our minds to obsess. PAUSE… So imagine your hand opening gently, On the outcomes it desperately holds. Imagine your fingers slowly peeling back. PAUSE… Watch those petals of desires,  Unfurl and expand, Free from the pressure, Free to breathe. PAUSE… Breathe here with them, And find a gentle rhythm that nourishes. PAUSE… Feel the soft breeze kiss your face, And dance with the colorful petals in your open hand. PAUSE… Slowly and beautifully, The petals ride the waves of the breeze, As they float away in all directions,  Free to land where they're meant to be.  LONG PAUSE… And here you are, Light and peaceful, Relaxed and calm. Surrendered to the magic of the petals, That will dance and spin, Until they're ready to land. Namaste, Beautiful

3220 - Beyond Zionism w/ Jonathan Graubart

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Jonathan Graubart, professor of political science at San Diego State University, to discuss his recent book Jewish Self-Determination beyond Zionism: Lessons from Hannah Arendt and other Pariahs. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the growing death toll in Gaza, Israel's turn towards Indonesian Hospital in Gaza, potential conditions on US aid to Israel, Biden's cratering poll numbers, North Dakota's violation of the Voting Rights Act, and flight attendant labor action, before parsing through the election of Javier Milei to the presidency of Argentina. Next, they're joined by Jonathan Graubart as dives right into his work exploring the competing visions for Jewish self-determination outside of the extremist revisionist Zionism that dominates the conversation today. After touching on the pushback to his work, as well as the inspiration behind it, Graubart dives into the contrasting strains of Martin Buber's vision of “cultural Zionism” – one that emphasized a non-statist revival of the Jewish community in the holy lands of Palestine – the mainstream, statist Zionism of Theodor Herzl, and the vitriolic revisionist Zionism of Ze'ev Jabotinsky (a legacy carried by Netanyahu), all of which were prevalent at the start of the 20th Century. Professor Graubart explores the central influence of European imperialism on Buber's explicit rejection of Jewish nationalism in favor of a broader independent, spiritual, and socialist egalitarianism, before stepping into the practical application of Buber's Zionism with the creation of various multi-faith and multi-cultural federations in the 1920s and ‘30s, alongside increasing pleas to his opponents in the Zionist community to embrace the presence of Palestinians as neighbors and community members. After briefly walking through the political leverage behind the various Zionist movements – and the particular role the British played in bolstering the plan for an exclusionary Jewish state – Graubart dives into the critiques of Zionism leveled by Hannah Arendt, contrasting Buber's affirmative vision of Hebrew Humanism he hoped to create with her pathologizing of a Zionist movement that had once inspired her, as she explore the influence of “Eternal Anti-semitism Syndrome” (the belief that everyone, everywhere is against the Jews, at all times) and Tribal Nationalism in completely undermining the cultivation of Jewish culture, Jewish community, Jewish safety, and Jewish self-determination. Expanding on this, Professor Graubart explores the concept of “self-determination” itself, and the contradictory relationship between self-determination for a community that is moving into a region, and the continued autonomy of the pre-existing community. After parsing through the eventual breakdown of Buber's Humanist Zionism amid increasing power and violence exercised by the Zionist right, as well as Palestinian resistance to a bi-national solution (while supporting the presence of Jews as community members with equal rights), and the role of the 1948 Nakba in officially destroying the unique possibilities of a productive Zionism, Sam, Emma, and Jonathan wrap up with a tentative discussion on the future of any solution to this conflict. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Anderson Cooper let active rhetoric of genocide go unchecked, Biden's torpedoing approval ratings, and the expansion of the cleansing of Gaza to regional conflict. They also discuss the inequality of marriage for disabled Americans, Francisco from Buenos Aires reflects on his country's election of Javier Milei and the historical context, Chris Christie has an embarrassing appearance on Meet the Press, Rep. Clay Higgins perfectly shows the insanity of the GOP, and Russell Brand perfectly shows the insanity of both himself and Alex Jones, plus, your calls and IMs!

November is recognized as National Family Caregivers Month, which is an important part of the Parkinson's Foundation efforts to honor the contributions of the 65 million people in the U.S. who care for a loved one who is aging or living with a chronic condition like Parkinson's disease (PD).

In and out. Cool and warm. Expanding and releasing.  Breathe… PAUSE… It's all going to be okay. Here in this moment, you have no control over that which you desperately want. A specific outcome, Another person's actions, Mother Nature. There is no amount of worrying or thinking that will change this moment. So surrender your desires to the stillness of the night, And trust in her and the wisdom of the universe. PAUSE… Inhale to touch the stillness,  Exhale to release control.  Breathe in, Breathe out. PAUSE… Unwind the tension in your body, Setting free all the tight parts so they can sink even further into your bed. PAUSE... Stress lives in the dark, Love is in the light.  So invite every cell in your body to shift from control to faith, From worry to hope, From dark to light. PAUSE… Be here in the light, Bathing in the soft yellow blankets of hope. Let them soothe you as you dream of possibilities,  And whisper your prayers to the Universe. And then let go, You have no more control right now. PAUSE… So feel your body melt further into your bed, And your mind hum with spaciousness. No more thinking. No more doing.  Just being,  One with love. One with trust.  PAUSE… Sweet Dreams, Beautiful
