This week, we welcome the brilliant Dylan Meconis, creator of Queen of the Sea and Bite Me. Here's what we cover: How most colorists actually break in (hint: it's not by “murdering another colorist in single combat” — though that was discussed) What “flatting” is — and why it's often your first step into paid coloring work Why networking is really just “being friends with cartoonists” Portfolio strategy: Why saying “I do everything” is less effective than saying “I do this brilliantly” Analog coloring techniques — watercolor paper, oil-based pencils, and why certain materials go extinct at the worst possible moment The realities of scanning physical art (and why scanners are basically cameras on an arm) How to handle black plates, rich black, and avoiding fuzzy type in print If you've ever wondered whether coloring could be an income stream for you — or how to level up your current process — this episode is a masterclass.

In today's episode, Gina describes how movement can help us in our anxiety recovery, and also how intense movement can work against it. A number of slower, gentler forms of movement and exercised are recommended for realizing the benefits of exercise without risking excessive cortisol release and increasing anxiety. Strenuous exercise does have a place, but it is recommended to be selective with using it, especially during anxiety recovery.Stillpoint Fridays is my once-a-week Friday note — a slower, more personal reflection that's different from what I share on the podcast.

While we've often leaned on the mantra that moving our bodies is a remedy for stress, today I invite you to reconsider the intensity of those workouts. Many people find themselves feeling wired and edgy after a high-intensity session rather than the calm they anticipated—this is not a personal failing. It's essential to understand that when we push our already stressed nervous systems beyond their capacity, we may inadvertently exacerbate our feelings of anxiety.We live in a culture that idolizes rigorous training and relentless commitment to fitness, often overlooking the unique needs of our bodies and minds. When the body is subjected to intense workouts while already managing elevated levels of cortisol, the experience can feel less like a beneficial challenge and more like an added threat. The physiological response triggers a cycle of heightened stress chemistry, leading to difficulties in sleeping, increased irritability, and an overall sense of being overwhelmed.I emphasize the importance of recognizing movement not solely as an endeavor to achieve goals but as a signal to our nervous systems. Intense exercise may communicate urgency and threat, whereas gentler, rhythmic movements convey safety and calm. Activities like slow walking, gentle yoga, or even tasks like gardening, provide a stabilizing rhythm that can nurture the mind and body. This perspective shifts the narrative from one of intensity to one of attunement—listening to our bodies and responding to their needs.#AnxietyRelief #NervousSystemRegulation #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #CortisolControl #VagusNerveHealing #MindfulMovement #TiredButWired #GentleMovement #SomaticHealing #MentalHealthAwareness #WalkingForHealth #LowImpactFitness #BodyAttunement #StressManagement #VagalTone #BilateralStimulation #RestorativeFitness #HolisticHealing #ListenToYourBody #MorningAnxiety #BurnoutRecovery #MindBodyConnection #SelfCareDaily #MentalWellness #CalmMind #YogaForAnxiety #Overstimulation #SlowLiving #PeaceAndCalm #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Anneke Hogeland, co-author of The Trituration Handbook: Into the Heart of Homeopathy, walks us through the practice of triturations, a careful process of preparing remedies that often gets overlooked in homeopathy. She shares how her training in the Netherlands and collaboration with Judy Schriebman led to the creation of their definitive guide, filling a gap in how triturations are taught and practiced. The conversation explores practical examples, from bird remedies to calendula and persimmon, showing how these preparations can reveal both physical and emotional insights. Anneke also talks about the unexpected challenges of triturations and how to approach them with awareness and intention. Stories from her work, including a patient with cancer, highlight the real-world impact these remedies can have when carefully prepared.

HOGELAND, MS, MFT (1948 – present) practiced as a homeopath, psycho therapist, and hypnosis expert in and around Berkeley, California. Anneke leads Family Constellation Therapy workshops worldwide. She graduated from the Pacific Academy of Homeopathy in San Francisco in 2000. A Dutch citizen, she first came to the U.S. in the late sixties for college, but soon after her arrival became completely enchanted with hot air ballooning. She traveled the world for many years as one of the first female commercial balloon pilots and set a world altitude record at 28,036 feet in 1977. Early in her homeopathic career, Anneke studied extensively with European homeopaths and found the quality of teaching, research and practice was frequently moving into realms that were not discussed in American schools. In Germany they were triturating remedies to higher levels (C4 homeopathy) leading to a greater understanding of remedies. Jan Scholten was classifying the minerals and elements. Roger van Zandvoort was working on the Millenium repertory, and researcher Frans Vermeulen was organizing and correcting the entire Materia Medica in significant ways. Alize Timmerman, as the foremost proponent of C4 homeopathy in the Netherlands, was spreading this work far and wide across the world. As the founder of HomeopathyWest, Anneke has organized many homeopathic seminars in the San Francisco Bay Area; Judy continues this work. Anneke is semi-retired now and moved to Portugal in 2018.

Pelvic floor tips to move from tension and guarding to comfort and confidence If you've been listening to this series and thinking… “Okay, I understand what might be causing my pain.” “I see how stress and mental load are affecting my body.” “But what do I actually DO?” This episode is your next step. Pain with intimacy is common — but it is not something you have to push through, numb out, or accept as your new normal. Today we're talking about practical, body-based strategies to reduce pelvic floor tension, rebuild safety, and gradually restore comfort and confidence in the bedroom. Because healing isn't about forcing relaxation. It's about creating safety. In This Episode, We Cover: Why pushing through pain makes it worse The pain → guarding → more pain cycle Why many women with painful intercourse actually have an overactive pelvic floor (not a weak one) The importance of downtraining before strengthening 360 breathing and long exhale techniques to calm tension “Hip breathers” and mobility work that support pelvic relaxation External soft tissue release before internal work How to approach dilators or pelvic wand work safely (if appropriate) The power of slowing down arousal and removing performance pressure Lube, positioning, and small environmental shifts that make a big difference How graded exposure helps retrain the brain and calm pain pathways The Big Reframe Pain with intimacy is not a sign that you are broken. It is information. Your nervous system and pelvic floor are communicating something — often about tension, overwhelm, fear, or past experiences. When we respond with pressure, force, or avoidance, the guarding increases. When we respond with safety, breath, and gradual progression, the body adapts. Your brain and pelvic floor are deeply connected — and both can relearn safety. Practical Starting Points If you're experiencing pain with intercourse, consider: ✔️ Pausing penetration temporarily ✔️ Focusing on breath and long exhales daily ✔️ Addressing hip, inner thigh, and glute tension ✔️ Prioritizing arousal before penetration ✔️ Experimenting with positions that give you control ✔️ Removing pressure to “perform” Remember: intimacy does not equal penetration. Connection and pleasure are broader than we were taught. When to See a Pelvic Floor PT You may benefit from professional support if: Pain persists beyond a few months You have a history of tearing or scar tissue You experience severe guarding or anxiety You're avoiding intimacy entirely DIY approaches aren't helping Inside RESTORE, we focus on breath coordination, nervous system regulation, mobility, and pelvic floor retraining in a progressive, supportive way. For more complex or severe pain, 1:1 pelvic floor physical therapy may be the best next step. You do not have to navigate this alone. Up Next in the Series In our next episode, we'll talk about rebuilding confidence and reclaiming pleasure — not just reducing pain. Because healing is not just about eliminating symptoms. It's about expanding what's possible. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who needs to hear that pain with intimacy is treatable — and that softness is strength. ~ XO Dr. Des

In today's episode, Gina discusses how periods of relaxation can actually lead to increased anxiety and consequently confusion and frustration. The distinction is made between quick-fixes for anxiety, including use of substances like alcohol and other more mundane distractions, and genuine, lasting recovery. Enriching practices like early bed time and meditation can be enacted over time to improve the anxiety recovery process.

It's vital to recognize that reaching for various forms of relief when we feel overwhelmed is a common human experience. We naturally seek comfort, but we must differentiate between activities that provide short-lived relief and those that lead to genuine recovery.I explore the concept that not all forms of relaxation foster true healing. While we often turn to quick fix solutions such as alcohol, late-night screen time, or the excitement of social engagements, these methods can lead to feelings of fragility and heightened anxiety the next day. It's crucial to understand that the nervous system, especially for those living with anxiety, operates differently. Upon exhausting our resources for the day, it's not merely relaxation that we need, but rather a return to a state of balance and safety in our nervous system.During our conversation, I emphasize the distinction between false relief, which may provide immediate distraction or numbing sensations, and genuine recovery—an experience that is slower-paced, steadier, and far more conducive to long-term well-being. This segment of our dialogue highlights how our common leisure activities might not genuinely allow the body to restore itself. For many, the hours spent binge-watching, planning social outings, or consuming substances like alcohol simply shift us into another state of activation rather than facilitating a true calming effect.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #AnxietyRelief #MentalHealthMatters #NervousSystemRegulation #TrueRecovery #FalseRelief #PanicAttackRecovery #Mindfulness #SelfCare #WiredAndTired #BurnoutRecovery #StressManagement #CuesOfSafety #EmotionalWellbeing #HolisticHealing #InnerPeace #MentalHealthAwareness #OvercomingAnxiety #HighFunctioningAnxiety #RestorativeSleep #Stillness #BodyAwareness #NervousSystemHealth #CalmMind #SelfCompassion #AnxietySupport #HealingJourney #MentalHealthTips #PeaceAndCalm #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Voices is a new mini-series from Humanitarian AI Today. In daily five-to-fifteen minute flashpods we pass the mic to humanitarian experts and technology pioneers, to hear about new projects, events, and perspectives on topics of importance to the humanitarian community. In this flashpod, Olena Shevchenko, a data scientist and machine learning engineer, speaks with Humanitarian AI Today producer, Brent Phillips, about Wintertime conditions in Ukraine and her experimentation with Neo4j, a graph intelligence platform, to build a "Personal Knowledge Agent.” Seeking a more structured way to retain and reuse knowledge, Olena explains how her application converts unstructured text into a network of "concepts" and "connections," allowing for precise, context-aware answers to user queries. Her project highlights uses of Neo4j combined with Local Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Olena and Brent help to provide staff from Humanitarian organizations with an introduction to Neo4j and how knowledge graphs could help transform humanitarian aid by mapping complex relationships between organizations, people, and activities across global crises.

Why being alone feels so hard—and how solitude can make you healthier, calmer and more connected. Robert Coplan spent months on the road as a solo musician, driving through the southern U.S. with long stretches of boredom, isolation, and nowhere to escape his own thoughts. Then he made one small shift that turned his misery into meaning. Coplan has since spent his career studying solitude—why we resist it, what it gives us when we stop fighting it, and how too little “me time” can leave us stressed, irritable, and disconnected.

Mike Schrand has spent more than 30 years at St. Louis Public Radio — and his story is a masterclass in curiosity, creativity, and community. In this episode of Mostly Superheroes, Mike joins Logan Janis for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from overnight jazz shifts and Morning Edition to songwriting, cult movies, and why St. Louis is “the world's largest small town.” We talk about the evolution of public radio, nonprofit journalism, and why live, local storytelling still matters in an on-demand world. Mike also opens up about his life as a musician — including his solo albums Late Bloomer and Things Have Changed — plus the role art plays in identity, family, and aging creatively. Along the way, we dig into movie history filmed right here in St. Louis (Escape from New York), James Gunn stories, NPR programming, and what it really means to serve a community through sound.

How comfortable are you with AI in your news? The Tacoma News Tribune, Tri-City Herald, Bellingham Herald, the Olympian. For over a century all of these local papers have brought in-depth reporting and local news to their communities. But new policies instituted by publisher McClatchy Media have left reporters at the papers worried that the company is adopting artificial intelligence tools for efficiency’s sake, at the cost of accurate information. Union members from the Idaho and Washington State Newsguild, a group of five McClatchy owned papers in the region (that includes the four from WA and The Idaho Statesman), are demanding that the publisher change its policy on how it uses artificial intelligence to produce and collate content.

How would you react if thousands of strangers chose to berate you online? Adam Becker, CEO of HeadOn, shares what happened when he, a Jew living in Israel, began video-chatting with complete strangers online right after October 7th, 2023. Some insulted him. Some threatened him. But instead of clicking away, he chose to stick it out. Through thousands of conversations, Adam discovered surprising ways to humanize conversations that usually turn hostile. Those experiments eventually became the foundation for HeadOn, a platform where AI helps match people, set conversational “challenges,” and reduce misunderstanding. ABOUT THE GUEST Adam Becker is the CEO of HeadOn, an online platform designed to help people have good-faith conversations about deeply divisive issues including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, host Giuseppe Ianni, Cloud Wars Analyst and thought leader, sits down with Bob McAdam, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Tasklet and a Programming Committee member for the 2026 AI Agent & Copilot Summit NA. Together, they explore how AI has evolved from hype to hands-on reality, what attendees can expect at this year's summit, and why practical, ERP-focused use cases are now top of mind for partners and end users alike.Key TakeawaysFrom Talk to Tangible Value: AI conversations have evolved rapidly over the past year, and McAdam emphasizes that organizations are now demanding proof of value. Businesses no longer want abstract discussions about Copilots—they want to see how agents improve ERP workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and drive measurable efficiency. This shift reflects a broader maturity in the market, where curiosity has turned into expectation.Session Selection Beyond the Buzzwords: As a Programming Committee member, McAdam looks for sessions that go deeper than hype. He values speakers who bring specificity—manufacturing, distribution, documentation, or customer service—rather than generic AI narratives. Even “unsexy” topics like process documentation earn a place because of their real-world importance.AI as a Career Accelerator: The conversation highlights that AI adoption isn't just about company transformation—it's also about individual growth. Many attendees come to the summit to build personal competitive advantage, learning skills and mental models they can apply immediately. Experimenting with AI in personal workflows often becomes the gateway to professional adoption. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

What happens when a small business coach realizes her clients need more than advice—they need a place to actually work? She converts the loft she's been living in with her family into a coworking space. This week, Jamie Russo sits down with Sue Reardon, co-founder and community connector at Suite Spotte in Forest Park and La Grange, Illinois, for one of the most fascinating origin stories we've heard on this podcast. In this episode, we talk about: How Sue went from coaching micropreneurs to realizing coworking was the missing piece Why it took two years to get the Forest Park location rezoned Her "test and invest" mindset—constantly experimenting with flexible memberships Why she stopped doing evening events and started showing up with soup and wine instead The "Team Mashup" concept—bringing remote and in-office teams together This conversation is proof that coworking works best when you stay curious, listen to your members, and aren't afraid to test unconventional ideas. If you're an operator wondering how to create authentic community without forcing it, or navigating flexible memberships, this episode is for you.

At just six years old, Herbert was safe in his bedroom—until an unearthly voice called him outside. Confused and terrified, he stepped into the night and looked up to see an unknown spacecraft hovering silently above. In an instant, he was aboard.That childhood encounter was only the beginning.For the past thirty years, Herbert has lived a life repeatedly interrupted—abducted without warning by beings not of this world. Taken from his bed or even in broad daylight, he believes he is part of something profound and deeply unsettling: perhaps an alien hybrid program. Are they studying him? Experimenting on him? Using him to bridge two species? At times he has wondered if some of the procedures—quiet, precise interventions—were meant to stabilize an underlying heart condition that has quietly shadowed his life.In this chilling and deeply personal episode, Herbert courageously breaks decades of silence to reveal astonishing details: the crafts, the beings, the procedures, the missing time, and the haunting conviction that he was chosen for a purpose far beyond human understanding.What happens when your life is no longer entirely your own? This is not just a story of contact—it's a lifetime of being taken.https://x.com/eerieceles?s=21&t=wJJwKttqWJrPDYnCiqkr1AWe are thrilled to announce the official launch of Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

We often hear programming referred to as an art grounded in science, and learning to write good programming can take time. You get those with some academic background who struggle to match it with real world application, often leading to programming that is not feasible or that misses the forest for the trees. On the other hand, some coaches may struggle with the theory behind programming, which can create challenges in long term development or in understanding how to go deeper when training certain qualities. A combination of learning the essential theory, like learning basic multiplication, and then using tested and proven programming usually creates a good balance. In this episode we talk about our own experiences in learning how to programme, teaching others how to programme, and learning from our mistakes while trialling programming on ourselves. Check it out to hear more about Jon's first (wild) experience of carb loading as a teenager, tales of early internet training information on T-Nation, and our recommendations for coaches looking to learn how to programme.
