Explore how students are using simple mindful breathing practices to navigate stress, stay grounded, and support their classmates.Summary: Classrooms often are confronted with difficult topics that can leave students overwhelmed and anxious. In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we highlight how college student Evelyn Mata brought calm to herself and peers during an Immigration Studies class through simple collective breathing practices. How to Do Box Breathing: Sit comfortably: Find a quiet spot and focus on your breath, keeping a relaxed posture.  Inhale (4 counts): Breathe in slowly through your nose, letting the air fill your belly and chest. Keep the pace steady, not strained for a count of four.  Hold (4 counts): Pause gently at the top of the inhale. This isn't a tense hold, just a moment of stillness to let the body register calm. Hold your breath for four slow counts.  Exhale (4 counts): Release the breath through your nose or mouth in a smooth, even flow. Imagine tension leaving the body as the breath moves out for a count of four, emptying your lungs.  Hold (4 counts): Let yourself rest briefly in the empty space before the next inhale. This completes the “box.” Repeat: Continue this cycle for several minutes, or for 3-4 rounds, until you feel calmer. Stop sooner if you feel lightheaded; return to natural breathing when you're done.

“If you don't forage for Za'atar, how are you going to feel connected to the land? How are you going to understand what your ancestors have been doing for thousands of years here?” - Aya Gazawi FaourIn For The Wild's series in collaboration with Olive Odyssey, we hear from Aya Gazawi Faour, their co-founder, who shares about plants indigenous to the Palestinian landscape and their deep ties to culture, resistance, and enduring lifeways. In this episode, Aya shares about the herb Za'atar and its role in Palestinian kitchens. Aya details the ban placed on foraging Za'atar by Israel and its selective enforcement against Palestinians. Despite encroachments on their land and these restrictive practices, Aya emphasizes connection to the land down to the very flavor of Palestinian food and the scent of Palestinian kitchens. Colonizing forces try to separate people and the land, but as Aya speaks, it is clear that this separation is neither sustainable nor wholly possible. Let this conversation be an invitation to look more closely at the lands and living beings of Palestine. If Aya's stories moved you, take the next step: learn from the farmers and stewards keeping these lifeways alive. Explore the work of Palestinian growers, deepen your understanding of their traditions, and support their harvests through Olive Odyssey. Every gesture of connection helps nourish a culture, a landscape, and a people rooted in resilience.Olive Odyssey brings together farmers from across Palestine with a shared purpose: to tell the story of the Palestinian people through olive oil. Their mission is simple yet powerful — each bottle reflects a deep connection to the land and a commitment to sustainable, community-centered practices. To learn more about the farmers, their methods, and to source olive oil, za'atar, recipes, and more, visit https://oliveodyssey.com.Plants Are Political is based on Olive Odyssey's series by the same name.CreditsMusic for this episode is “Rosa” and “Anima” composed by Doe Paoro from her album “Living Through Collapse.” For The Wild is created by Ayana Young, Erica, Ekrem, Julia Jackson, and Victoria Pham. Learn more at https://www.forthewild.worldSupport the show

This episode kicks off the Career Growth Accelerator series, focused on the specific hurdles faced by mid-to-senior level engineers, managers, and leaders who are looking to move to the next level. Before diving into specific strategies, I'm addressing the fundamental prerequisite for real growth: getting out of your own way. We often block our own progress because our ego conflates our self-worth with our career position, making it impossible to see the real problems or lessons we need to learn. In this episode, I share a vital mental exercise to help you disconnect your identity from your job title and begin diagnosing your career challenges honestly.Understand why protecting your ego is one of the most dangerous ways to control your career, leading you to discount valid reasons for stagnation or failure by focusing only on external factors.Discover the fundamental shift needed: disconnecting your self-worth from your career aspirations. Your position is merely a fact and has little bearing on your innate value or capacity to succeed more generally.Learn how to use a distancing thought experiment—viewing your situation as if it were an acquaintance's story—to remove your ego from the diagnostic process and gain necessary clarity and perspective.Explore why effective growth advice, whether for promotion or post-mortem analysis, requires focusing almost exclusively on the diagnostic aspect ("What happened and why?") rather than building justifications based on your worthiness or past performance.

With nearly four decades in IT security, Bruce shares how opening the door to any discipline builds stronger teams and real-world readiness. How do these student SOCs keep organizations safe while students learn? What does a typical shift and escalation look like? Can a philosophy or nursing major really become an analyst? How is success measured—placements, detection speed, or something else? Where does AI help without replacing humans?

Are you facing a challenge right now? A trial, a tragedy, a crisis, a loss? God knows what you’re going through. He’s concerned about what you’re going through.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! In this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses strategies for setting performance goals and training effectively in 2026. He emphasizes the importance of starting now, before the holidays, to avoid the "New Year, New You" pressure.

He advises against chasing specific events and instead focuses on a year-long journey of progression. Key strategies include building a flexible training plan, prioritizing strength sessions, and maintaining consistent habits.

"Money is one of those things that people just consider as an afterthought. The older you get and the more responsibilities you have, you start to realize money is a tool, and it's required for health and happiness." In this episode, Heather sits down with Douglas and Heather Boneparth to dig into the often uncomfortable but wholly necessary work of talking about finances with your partner. Together, they unpack what really happens beneath the surface when couples avoid money conversations, and how bringing these truths forward can transform the intimacy, teamwork, and emotional safety in your relationship. Explore the stories we inherit around money, why it feels so vulnerable to speak up, and the simple shifts that help you feel like you're on the same team again. What to listen for: ✨ Money is not an afterthought; it's a tool for cultivating health and happiness ✨ How Douglas and Heather first understood that they needed to talk about money ✨ Overcoming the fear of speaking up with your partner about finances "You're communicating even when you're not communicating. Your body language, your actions, and the way that you're passive-aggressive about it. You're just failing to say the thing that needs to be said." ✨ Opening the door to teamwork and shared responsibility in your relationship ✨ Letting go of the "Prince Charming is going to save me" and taking ownership ✨ The importance of acknowledging the impact partners have on one another "The collective ambition needs to come to life here because you share a life together. You still get to be your own person, but you're playing a team game. Championships are won through team efforts, and this is what collaboration is all about. Your marriage is essentially a collaboration of life, and money is this game that you don't get to opt out of." ✨ Why freedom is emotionally uncomfortable and how to navigate that ✨ The question Douglas and Heather ask every couple to bring them together ✨ The power of energetic time management and chasing the feeling you're after "It's not the thing you want, it's the feeling. You say you want more money, more accolades, another book, this, this, this. Amazing. Take it. But what's the feeling you're after?" ✨ The importance of valuing the journey as much as you value the end goal ✨ Benchmarking your money goals and navigating the resistance that comes up ✨ Understanding that intimacy is directly connected to your financial health About Douglas and Heather Boneparth: Heather and Douglas Boneparth are the co-authors of Money Together: How to find fairness in your relationship and become an unstoppable financial team.

What if the reason healing, manifestation, or real transformation hasn't fully clicked yet has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with how the "F-word" — follow-through — has been misunderstood? In this quick IQ episode, Brandy dives into why the belief that everything should be effortless can quietly block mind-body healing, subconscious reprogramming, and lasting change. You'll discover: The crucial difference between effort and struggle (and why confusing them keeps people stuck) How "effortless manifesting" can subtly program the subconscious mind to stop following through Why genuine healing and transformation require follow-through — and how that follow-through can feel freeing, empowering, and even fun How consistent follow-through helps establish new neural pathways that support real, lasting change Brandy also shares a simple real-life moment that beautifully illustrates how effort and effortless manifestation can coexist, along with insights from her work helping people release pain and create change using the power of the mind. If you've been meditating, using affirmations, or "doing all the right things" but still feel stuck, this  episode may reveal what's been missing, and how to move forward without struggle. ✨ Follow-through isn't force. ✨ It isn't pressure. ✨ It's freedom. Listen now, and if it resonates, share it with someone who could use a loving reminder of their power. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal? Here's a demonstration of Brandy Gillmore working with volunteers under medical equipment, as featured in a medical journal.

For the 238th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes adoptive mother and writer Marjie Alonso. In this interview, Marjie unpacks what ethical adoption actually looks like—and why the familiar “better life” narrative so often obscures power imbalances, secrecy, and profound loss. Drawing from her experience adopting two sons from Paraguay and later taking them back to meet their birth mothers, she explains the concept of the primal wound, how adoption can impact adoptees (and everyone involved) across a lifetime, and why infertility or loss is not, on its own, a reason to adopt. We dig into the hidden economics of adoption, the business of family-making, and how a system built around demand can slide into coercion and trafficking. Marjie also speaks candidly about reckoning with her own choices, what she wishes she had understood earlier, and why flipping the script—from “adults who want children” to “children who need families”—is essential to imagining a more ethical future for adoption.

Here we are at the last episode of the STaR Coach Show for 2025, as I'll be taking some time off, as I usually do, to fully enjoy the holiday season. We have logged 50 episodes this year, exploring what it takes to build coaching skills, grow sustainable businesses, and develop authentic leadership. Coaching is all about the messy, uncertain, courageous work of transformation and building something meaningful. As I look toward 2026, I'm asking myself the same questions I'm asking you today: “What matters most? Where do I need to focus? How do I make sure I'm spending my energy on what actually moves the needle?” Here's what I know: the problem isn't that we don't work hard enough; the problem is that we say YES to too many things, which scatters our energy and hinders our progress. We mistake busyness for progress. In today's episode, I'm sharing my three words for 2026, along with guidelines for choosing your three words to serve as guideposts, decision filters, and energy anchors.

What if hearing from God was never about chasing a voice—but awakening to the One already speaking within you?In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock unpack Cory's eBook How to Hear From God, addressing one of the most common—and most anxiety-producing—questions in the Christian life. Together they dismantle fear-based spirituality, unspook the Holy Spirit, and offer a deeply relational, peace-filled framework for recognizing God's voice in everyday life.This conversation is especially for anyone who's ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?” or felt insecure comparing how God “speaks” to others.You'll hear:

Longtime sweethearts turn 24 years of spicy role-play into a wild Vegas reality: a handsome stranger buys her a drink, ends up in their room, and delivers their first-ever threesome—complete with deep-throating his 9-inch cock, doggy while she sucks hubby, reverse cowgirl DP that makes her orgasm for over a minute, and a double cum-shot finale all over her tongue, face, and tits.Solo traveler in Paris, already on a hot sex journey, gets accidentally stranded again—this time landing in bed with a sexy, open-minded French couple for an hours-long M/F/F threesome: mutual thigh grinding, pussy-eating masterclass, face-sitting, hard missionary on the guest's tight cunt, and a rare near-simultaneous triple orgasm that leaves everyone shaking.One grateful listener finally acts on years of flirty neighbor vibes after the Playful Neighbor's hot-tub story lights the fire: invites her gorgeous widowed 70-something silver fox over to celebrate good health news, moves the party to her hot tub in a tiny bikini, strokes him hard under the bubbles, rides him slow under the stars until he fills her with the creampie he hasn't felt in years—then drains him again on the couch. Multiple nights since, and he still looks at her like she hung the moon.Fanmail question: Do the filthy stories Nikky reads ever make her touch herself before or after recording?Holiday riddle answer: A Christmas stocking!Submit Your Story: Got a secret fantasy or steamy confession?

In a new portrait series displayed at St. Louis Lambert International Airport, St. Louis-based painter, illustrator, and photographer Cristina Fletes-Mach explores the complex challenge of responding to the question: “Where are you from?” She shares where themes of migration and identity have been part of her personal experiences, why maps are incorporated into the portraits, and what makes an international airport — inherently an in-between space — a fitting venue to show this series of paintings.
