    Exploring the Mind • Healing the Past • Reclaiming the SelfTonight on Teatime with Miss Liz, we welcome Peter McLaughlin — Certified Hypnotherapist, Life Coach, creator of BlueSky Hypnosis, actor, and former volunteer firefighter and EMT.Peter brings a fascinating T-E-A to the table — one shaped by a life-changing leukemia diagnosis, an exploration of the mind, body and spirit, years of helping others explore deeply rooted patterns, emergency service, and a return to the theatrical stage after 22 years as Shakespeare's King Lear.His journey raises a powerful question:What happens when the life we thought we knew changes—and we're forced to look within?Peter's guiding philosophy invites us to explore how our internal experiences can influence how we understand and respond to the world around us.His work includes hypnotherapy, regression, Havening, coaching and spiritually oriented approaches to personal growth and healing.Peter's journey into this work began following a leukemia diagnosis in 2003. That experience led him to explore the connection between mind, spirit, and well-being, and eventually to professional hypnotherapy and life coaching.Peter also created BlueSky Hypnosis, a YouTube channel his official website says has more than 130,000 subscribers and 17 million views.But Peter's story has many chapters.He spent years serving his community as a volunteer firefighter and EMT.He is also an actor.And after 22 years away from the stage, Peter is returning to the theatrical world to take on one of Shakespeare's most demanding roles:King Lear.Tonight, we explore the mind, personal experience, trauma, spirituality, memory, belief, transformation, and the courage it takes to return to something we once loved.If someone watching tonight feels trapped by something that happened years ago and believes their past has already determined the rest of their story:What would you want them to know before they give their past that much power over their future?Our conversation moves from serious illness to exploring mind, body, and spirit.From emergency response to emotional healing.From hypnosis and regression to questions about memory, spirituality and personal meaning.From reaching people through BlueSky Hypnosis to stepping back onto a theatrical stage after 22 years.And perhaps these chapters aren't as disconnected as they first appear.A firefighter enters situations requiring presence.A hypnotherapist asks people to look inward.An actor enters another person's story.And someone who has faced a life-changing diagnosis understands how quickly life can ask us to reconsider what matters.Peter's phrase for tonight is:As Within • So Without.But part of that lesson may be recognizing that we don't control everything that happens around us.We can keep exploring how we respond, what meaning we give our experiences, what support we seek, and what we choose to do with the life in front of us.Peter McLaughlin, thank you for bringing your story, questions, experiences and fire to the Teatime table.Thank you for pouring your T-E-A."Looking within isn't about blaming ourselves for what happened to us. It's about discovering what we still have the power to choose — how we respond, what we carry forward, what we release, and who we decide to become next."— Miss LizAs Within • So Without

    #258 What is BS 99001? Quality Management For The Built Environment

    Many of you will be familiar with ISO 9001, the leading Quality Management Standard, which provides a solid foundation for managing any business. However, for certain industries, ISO 9001 alone is not enough. The built environment is one such sector, as it requires more rigorous controls to keep projects on track, ensuring safety of all involved and processes that enable documented accountability for each and every step until project delivery. BS 99001 was introduced in 2022, not to replace ISO 9001 but rather to add to existing quality management systems for those in the built environment sector. In this episode, Ian Battersby is joined by Darren Morrow, Senior Consultant at Blackmores, to explain what BS 99001 is, how it addresses challenges unique to the built environment sector and explore the clauses and how they differ from ISO 9001. You'll learn ·      What is the built environment sector? ·      Why was BS 99001 created? ·      What is BS 99001's relationship with ISO 9001? ·      How does BS 99001 differ from ISO 9001? ·      Exploring the clauses of BS 99001 ·      Where is BS 99001 going in the industry?     Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      BS 99001   In this episode, we talk about: [02:35] Episode Summary – Ian Battersby is joined by Darren Morrow to explore BS 99001, Quality Management for the Built Environment. Join them as they discuss the reason for the Standards creation, it's relation to ISO 9001 and an overview of it's main clauses. [03:30] What do we mean by the Built Environment Sector? The sector covers the whole human-made environment: ·      buildings (homes, workplaces, hospitals, schools, entertainment), ·      infrastructure (roads, rail, bridges, utilities), ·      public space (parks, squares, streets etc) On top of that, you could also add the urban environment on a large scale, the way cities and towns are planned, developed over time, connected Any profession involved could apply this standard: ·      Design and planning (town planners, architects, interior designers, landscape architects) ·      Engineering (civils, structural, M&E, transport, environmental (planning our waste, water etc) ·      Construction (delivery, PMs, QSs, SMs, trades, contractors) ·      Management (of estates/facilities, property developers, agents, surveyors, valuers) ·      Policy, regulation, compliance (local authorities, planning officials, building control, regulatory authorities, enforcement agencies) [05:00] Why was BS 99001 created?: Despite the widespread adoption of 9001 across the industry (and it being a prerequisite in many circumstances), there has continued to be a series of significant incidents, numerous reports and national enquiries. These all point to an issue with quality that a generic standard appears to have failed to address.  When this is the case, it's a sign that something more sector specific is necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes. The UK Building Safety Act is now being enforced, which has added more implications and requirements on contractors. BS 99001 can help to support compliance with this due to its focus on responsibilities, competency and accountabilities. [09:45] What is BS 99001's relationship with ISO 9001?: BS 99001 doesn't modify or replace ISO 9001, it builds on it for the built environment sector. ISO 9001 creates a solid foundation for any business, but because of this it is deliberately vague in it's requirements. BS 99001 in comparison is very prescriptive with what it what's businesses to do, record and evidence. [10:30] How does BS 99001 differ from ISO 9001? BS 99001 is very much aware of the project based nature of its targeted sector, so the requirements are written with this in mind. Its requirements are written to ensure all parties involved in construction projects are included, accountability is its foundation, and it looks to help facilitate a lessons learned environment for compliant businesses. [11:30] BS 99001 Clauses: 4 Context - We're all used to this clause, but there's a note to consider the nature of the interested parties, as it's a lot more prescriptive and includes: ·      Members of the public are suggested first (users of stations, tenants in social housing) ·      Owners and operators of assets (ie, the built end product) ·      Project funders/investors ·      Project owners/sponsors ·      Project teams It also requires context documents specifically taking into account commitments to social, economic and environmental sustainability. So ESG is being embedded from the start. These interested parties encourage open forums between not only all those involved in the actual construction, but those that will be affected by the project and end product. This commitment to social, economic and environmental sustainability is a theme that continues throughout the whole Standard. Some businesses that already hold certification to Standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 think they may already have all of this covered, and in many ways they would be correct, however those typically apply to the business as a whole whereas BS 99001 incorporates everything in and around the project rather than treating projects as a separate entity – which is how other ISO Standards act in this sector. [15:40] BS 99001 Clauses: 5 Leadership – The specific requirement states: 'Top management shall ensure that a competent person is appointed as the management representative with oversight of quality for projects the organization is involved in or plans to be involved in' This may seem like an old-fashioned approach, however the need for competency in this sector is paramount. Organisational roles, responsibilities and authorities for Quality Management roles with clear competence and impartiality / independence criteria are explicitly stated. What was once a role that may have not held the power to stop a project like Health & Safety roles, now has that ability. If something is raised as a quality concern, then there is a strong argument for that becoming a safety risk down the line. It's better to fix something early on than to have it become a bigger problem, therefore, significance to the roles that point out these issues have been given the power they deserve in the project management process. [20:00] BS 99001 Clauses: 6 Planning – Risk management is an essential part of BS 99001, Clause 6 is where the requirements for risks and opportunities is explicitly stated, however, these are references multiple times throughout the Standard. There are specific Risk requirements to take account of are: ·      Projects it is involved in or plans to be involved in; ·      The process of construction and the subsequent use of the asset; ·      The organization as a whole; and ·      Society the economy and the environment. Many construction companies will be tendering for multiple jobs, so it's a good opportunity to build a robust risk register that gets added to with each project. Learning from one project should be used to help you to bid for the next one. Keeping track of these should also be done so you can inform your interested parties of the risks involved, and any subsequent lessons learnt should also be of value to your supply chain. One key group that often gets overlooked is the Funders, they'll have a particular interest in the risks and to have all the knowledge available about what they're funding. Having records to answer their questions will keep them happy or at least informed. Objective requirements include: ·      Quality objectives for each project, to reflect contractual and other requirements ·      Evidence of the following considerations in objectives: ·      Defined scope, time, cost and project lifecycle ·      Social, economic and environmental commitments ·      Collaboration with interested parties In ISO 9001, the objectives are set from the business level, but in BS 99001 these are aimed at the project level. [24:10] BS 99001 Clauses: 7 Support – As mentioned, people and competence is a big focus for BS 99001. Evidence for competence arrangements include: ·      Project / contract specific roles and responsibilities - formally assigned ·      Formal process(es) for determining competence ·      Competence arrangements relating to all people working on the organisation's behalf There are also verification processes for all external providers, including the need for: ·      Authorities for approval of operations, processes, design, production, inspection and tests ·      Competence arrangements for management representative(s) specifically regarding quality ·      Evidence that competence arrangements take into account requirements of interested parties It's up to the business to make sure they can prove people are competent for the roles they are assigned, which is why there is a lot of detail in this area. Documented information is also key, as this provides a traceable and auditable path of accountability. Again, BS 99001 is a lot more prescriptive on this clause when compared to ISO 9001. BS 99001 requires documentation of: ·      Process(es) to ensure awareness of statutory / regulatory requirements specifically relating to documented information (eg, building information, product safety, structure, maintenance, retention timeframes) ·      Approval methods and authorities for the different types of documented information ·      Communication / availability / control of changes to documented information to interested parties Now this doesn't mean you have to drown yourself in paperwork! These can all be stored as electronic records. This clause also sees a lot of repetition with areas such as risk, however this is simply the nature of Standards. They operate on the Plan Do Check Act cycle, you plan to do something, you do it, you check, you've done it, and you act on it. This repetition is there for a reason, documenting information especially as you need to prove that your final deliverable is safe, that it's operational and that it can be maintained. While documentation may seem like a painful process in the early phases of a construction job, it will serve you well once the project is completed as when you get to the point of handover, everything is already done and all required information is readily available for those interested parties. [31:55] BS 99001 Clauses: 9 Monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation – In ISO 9001, it's largely up to the organisation to determine what they monitor and measure, however in BS 99001 there are specific which must be measured, including: [28:30] BS 99001 Clauses: 8 Operation – This, like in most other Standards, is where the bulk of additional requirements sits. 8.3 Design includes: ·      Re-iterates the need to appropriate design processes at organisation and project level ·      Clear definitions of roles and responsibilities ·      Review, verification, validation, approvals and associated competences ·      Inclusion of interested partes ·      Compatibility between parties and their designs ·      Design maturity/novelty ·      Documentation needs ·      Life-cycle ·      Addressing of regulatory requirements, product safety 8.4 Control of externally provided products and services - Again, 9001 allows an organisation to determine its own controls over the supply chain (according to risk). But here, the standard specifically acknowledges the issues with supply chain which partly gave rise to it. It starts with defining the authority to approve suppliers The rest of clause 8 (Control of production and service provision) continues in similar detailed fashion, matching similar themes When we get to 8.7 (Control of nonconforming process outputs, products and services), we see the need to define specific roles, responsibilities and processes It also includes specific requirements for: ·      Evidence of reports to design team regarding design root causes ·      Close out of corrections ·      Agreements of interested parties to corrective action ·      Concession/design change notifications to design authority [35:45] BS 99001 Clauses: 9 Internal Audit – BS 99001's internal audits must be risk-based and include projects. You also need to evidence audit results being reported to interested parties. It also goes without saying that you need evidence of auditor competence. Where Management review is concerned, you must include specific information on the performance of projects, and also evidence management review outputs being reported to interested parties. [37:45] Where is BS 99001 going in the industry? – Currently, this is a Standard that applies more to bigger multi-million pound projects. However, Darren is seeing more of the requirements being pushed down the supply chain. We do see that happen with the likes of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified organisations doing much the same with their supply chains. But BS 99001 differs as it explicitly promotes pushing its requirements down the supply chain, it's not just a passive affect, it's something to be actioned through leadership by promoting quality management. [39:55] Top Tip – If this Standard is applicable you, we highly recommend you complete a Gap Analysis, even if you're already certified to ISO 9001. This Standard differs quite a bit and ISO 9001 misses the requirements that cover the project life-cycle, sustainability and social aspects that BS 99001 focuses on. At a basic level, ensure that your skilled people have their competences ready and available for if a client requires that information. [41:30] The advantage of BS 99001 – BS 99001 ensure that your business can plan well and protect itself with the required record keeping. If things go wrong, you have the documentation to protect yourself, and with the additional planning requirements, you can minimise the risk involved in projects before things have a chance to go wrong. If you are in the Construction Industry, this Standard is worth looking into. If you'd like any assistance with implementing or supporting BS 99001, get in touch with us, we'd be happy to help!

    Motherhood changes everything—and not just in the ways we expect. While welcoming a child can bring immense joy, it also stirs up unseen emotions, hidden wounds, and internal struggles with guilt, shame, and the daunting pressure to "get it all right." Far from the sugar-coated images often seen on social media, the journey into parenthood can leave many feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and silently wondering, "Is it just me?" In this episode, listeners are invited to explore the nuanced realities of becoming a parent and the powerful, often unspoken, shifts it triggers within. You'll discover how experiences from your own past may resurface, why feelings of disconnection or being "not good enough" are so universal, and how concepts like matrescence and internal family systems can offer understanding—and real tools—for healing, growth, and creating deeper, more authentic connections with yourself and the people you love. Dr. Angele Close is a clinical psychologist, mindfulness meditation teacher, and author who specializes in maternal mental health. She uses the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model to support mothers navigating matrescence, helping them release perfectionism, shame, and self-criticism. Her work empowers women to cultivate self-compassion, confidence, and emotional resilience through trauma-informed, compassionate, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. She is the author of Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-Led Mom.   Episode Highlights 05:21 Parenting challenges with neurodiverse children. 08:08 Parental mental health challenges. 11:43 Struggles with motherhood expectations. 15:27 Pressures and expectations on parents. 16:19 Addressing motherhood burnout. 21:06 Exploring personal growth through motherhood. 24:49 Understanding Internal Family Systems (IFS). 29:24 Understanding self-protective behaviors. 33:42 Understanding the Inner Critic. 39:17 Navigating early parenthood myths. 42:36 Practicing mindfulness and self-compassion. 43:40 Helping moms with healing and guilt.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Pause and Check In: Regularly pause during your day to notice your body sensations, emotions, and thoughts to increase self-awareness and identify when you're getting activated. Acknowledge Your Parts: Recognize when protective parts of you (e.g., inner critic, perfectionist, controller) are taking over and name them to yourself to help de-escalate internal tension. Practice Self-Compassion: Offer yourself kindness, especially when you notice challenging emotions like guilt, shame, or overwhelm arising in your parenting or relationships. Communicate Openly with Your Partner: Initiate honest conversations with your partner about your current struggles, needs, and aspirations as parents and as a couple to foster connection and teamwork. Explore and Discuss Family Values: Identify and discuss with your partner the values and beliefs you hold about what makes a "good" parent or partner, noting where your perspectives align or differ 40:05. Allow Grief and Vulnerability: When old wounds or unmet needs arise (such as grief while parenting), let yourself feel them and seek supportive spaces, rather than pushing them aside. Set Boundaries for Self-Care: Notice patterns of depletion and intentionally set boundaries to prioritize your rest, nutrition, and personal time, even if it means asking for more help or saying no. Seek Support and Normalize the Experience: Join parent groups, seek therapy or coaching, or read supportive resources like Unburdening Motherhood to help normalize the challenges and connect with others who share your experiences.   Mentioned Unburdening Motherhood (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) ERP 261: How To Strengthen Your Relationship From A Polyvagal Perspective – An Interview with Dr. Stephen Porges ERP 276: Understanding The Need For Both Self-Regulation And Co-Regulation In Relationship – An Interview With Deb Dana ERP 423: How To Transcend Trauma (And The Effects Experience In Relationship) — An Interview With Dr. Frank Anderson Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free relationship guide)   Connect with Dr. Angele Close Website: drangeleclose.com Facebook: facebook.com/angele.close.2025/ Instagram: instagram.com/drangeleclose LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-angele-close TikTok: tiktok.com/@cyclebreakingmomma

    Send us Fan MailAdam Greenman on winning the Pawtucket mayoral primary and what residents want nextAdam Greenman, the presumptive next mayor of Pawtucket, talks about his upset primary win over longtime Mayor Don Grebien and why he got into the race in the first place. The conversation centers on what voters were saying on the ground, from affordability and city services to the loss of Memorial Hospital and the need for stronger local-state collaboration.Key topicsIn this episode, Adam Greenman explains that his campaign grew out of a widespread feeling in Pawtucket that things had gone stale after 16 years of the same administration.He describes his background, including Teach for America in Camden, work at United Way of Rhode Island, and eight and a half years leading the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island.Greenman says early conversations in living rooms and backyards confirmed that residents were frustrated with rising taxes, declining services, and a city focus that seemed too centered on the soccer stadium and train station.He says the biggest issue voters raised was affordability, especially for renters, homeowners on fixed incomes, and seniors worried about staying in their homes.Education came up repeatedly, not just school buildings but what is happening inside them, along with frustration that City Hall was not listening closely enough to neighborhood concerns like traffic around the new high school.He says public safety and quality-of-life issues mattered too, including bulk trash pickup, rats, and general bread-and-butter municipal services.Greenman says the campaign's door-to-door operation was decisive, with about 2,500 individual conversations after knocking on close to 15,000 doors.He argues that the biggest long-term loss for Pawtucket residents is Memorial Hospital, saying that people felt the impact of losing a nearby hospital in their daily lives, not just as a headline issue.He connects the hospital closure to the broader problem of paying more while getting less, and says local officials need to think seriously about options like ambulatory or non-major emergency care.Greenman outlines a plan to bring Pawtucket's state delegation together for regular conversations with city leadership, so municipal and state officials can coordinate on funding, emergency services, special education, and multilingual learner support.Timestamps00:00 - Greenman's primary win and the significance of the race 00:20 - Why he entered the mayoral race 01:29 - Background: Teach for America, United Way, and the Jewish Alliance 02:19 - Why Pawtucket felt ready for change 03:00 - Conversations in living rooms, backyards, and on doors 04:24 - How 15,000 doors and 2,500 conversations shaped the campaign 05:35 - Affordability as the top issue for renters, owners, and seniors 06:04 - Schools, traffic concerns, and residents feeling unheard 07:01 - Trash pickup, rats, and other quality-of-life complaints 08:11 - Why the stadium and train station were not the real focus 09:00 - Memorial Hospital as the biggest loss residents feel 09:55 - Exploring possible local care alternatives after the hospital closure 11:58 - How service loss and crowding reinforce the affordability problem 13:26 - What a new mayoral era could mean for collaboration in Rhode Island 14:11 - Plans to bring together state reps, senators, and city leaders 16:33 - Working with Mayor Grebien during the transition Support the showFollow Bill on Instagram and YouTube

Tyler Ramsey is fresh off the playa — and this time, he experienced Burning Man sober. On this episode of Punk Rock Sober, Tyler sits down with travel expert and Travel With Meaning host Mike Shibel to talk about something people don't always associate with sobriety: having completely wild, unforgettable adventures. From Burning Man and Art Basel to New Orleans, Sequoia National Park, swimming with whale sharks in La Paz, sauna culture in Finland, surf trips in Costa Rica and wellness experiences in Austria, Tyler and Mike explore ways to get the rush, connection and sense of discovery people often think they'll lose when they stop drinking or using. Tyler also gets candid about his past — including appearing on Mike's podcast during a period when he was struggling to stay sober — and why he now believes recovery shouldn't mean sitting on the sidelines of life. Can travel become its own natural high? And when you're stable in sobriety, can you still put yourself in the middle of places like Burning Man and come out stronger? Mike's philosophy is simple: meaningful travel isn't just about where you go. As he puts it, not every journey is measured in miles. Punk Rock Sober is about living fully, taking risks, owning your past and discovering what life can look like without needing substances to make it interesting. The episode explicitly moves from Tyler's high-energy destinations — Burning Man, Art Basel and New Orleans — into Mike's nature/adventure approach to sober travel. Mike also describes nature as a different kind of “high” and talks about creating meaningful, memorable travel experiences. 00:00 Tyler Just Got Back From Burning Man 00:42 Meet Travel Expert Mike Shibel 01:48 Tyler Apologizes for His Past Podcast Appearance 05:07 Tyler Opens Up About Not Being Able to Stay Sober 06:05 Addiction, Regret & the MTV Opportunity 07:37 The Best Wild Experiences to Have Sober 08:27 #1 — Burning Man Sober 10:01 Tyler Was Offered Drugs at Burning Man 11:14 Nature as a Natural High 11:52 The Idea of “Sober Debauchery” 14:12 #2 — Art Basel Miami 18:00 #3 — Mardi Gras & New Orleans 20:03 Why Sobriety Shouldn't Limit Your Life 23:07 Mike's Travel With Meaning Philosophy 25:00 National Parks & Sequoia 30:00 Joshua Tree & Adventure Travel 31:00 Swimming With Whale Sharks 32:00 La Paz & the Sea of Cortez 35:00 Cruises, Alaska & the Galápagos 38:00 Finland: The Sauna Capital of the World 44:00 An Art Sauna in the Finnish Forest 46:00 Travel Traditions & Costa Rica 48:00 Surf Trips as a Natural High 50:00 Surf & Yoga Retreats in Costa Rica 52:00 High-End Travel & Meaningful Experiences 54:00 Festivals Around the World 56:00 Yoga, Hiking & Wellness in Austria 58:00 Exploring the Austrian Alps

    Key Takeaways: Use Debt Strategically: Debt can be a useful tool for growing a business, creating liquidity, and potentially receiving tax benefits when used responsibly. Understand Interest Deductions: Interest paid on certain business loans may be tax deductible, which can reduce taxable income. The rules depend on how the borrowed money is used. Know Where Your Payments Go: Loan payments usually include both principal and interest. Understanding the difference helps you track your finances and plan for taxes. Read Your Loan Statements: Reviewing loan statements carefully can help you spot fees, understand your interest costs, and avoid unexpected cash flow problems.

    Long before an entire generation of moviegoers learned that six words — "give my daughter the shot" — could completely wreck them, James L. Brooks crafted one of the most emotionally seismic mother-daughter dramas ever put on film. In this episode, we dive into Terms of Endearment (1983), the Best Picture-winning classic that somehow makes you laugh hysterically one minute and sob uncontrollably the next.We break down Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger's legendary chemistry as Aurora Greenway and her daughter Emma, spanning 30 years of a relationship that's equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. We get into the behind-the-scenes drama — including the studio's fear that the film's wild tonal shifts would tank it at the box office, and how it instead went on to sweep the Academy Awards with five Oscars, including Best Picture.Along the way, we talk Jack Nicholson's iconic supporting performance and on-set improvisation, the evolving nature of movie stardom, some fascinating casting choices and near-misses (Harrison Ford, Paul Newman, and more), the underrated supporting cast including Danny DeVito, Jeff Daniels, and John Lithgow, and whether this 80s classic still hits as hard today as it did in theaters.Whether you remember ugly-crying in a movie theater in 1983 or you've never seen it and want to know what all the fuss is about, this is your deep dive into one of the defining dramas of the decade.Perfect for fans of: Gen X movie podcasts, 80s movie retrospectives, Terms of Endearment reviews, Shirley MacLaine movies, Jack Nicholson movies, classic tearjerker films, Best Picture Oscar winners, 80s drama and comedy classics, retro movie rewatch podcasts.Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Terms of Endearment03:02 – First Time Viewing and Initial Impressions07:20 – Risky Quizness: Behind-the-Scenes Knowledge12:10 – Studio's Fear and Box Office Success15:29 – Casting and Stellar Performances19:47 – The Legacy of Jack Nicholson20:25 – The Changing Landscape of Movie Stars21:24 – The Craft of Acting and Artistry22:04 – Casting Choices and Regrets22:35 – The Impact of Casting Decisions23:32 – The Charisma of Harrison Ford24:01 – The Role of Paul Newman24:53 – The Influence of the Director on the Script and Actors25:14 – Behind-the-Scenes Improvisation25:48 – The Versatility of Danny DeVito26:24 – The Career of Jeff Daniels29:00 – The Versatility of John Lithgow29:27 – The Replacement of an Actor in the Movie30:13 – The Role of Lisa Hart Carroll31:23 – The Original Casting Choices and the Sequel32:37 – The Impact of the Supporting Cast33:33 – Iconic and Favorite Scenes37:43 – Exploring the Comedy Scenes39:15 – Behind the Scenes with Nicholson40:24 – Intense Dramatic Moments41:18 – Pacing and Rushed Plot42:11 – Impact of Cancer Diagnosis43:20 – Rewatchability and Nostalgia Meter

The goal is to celebrate narrative art in all its forms, including paintings, comics, illustrations, murals, photography, cinema artifacts, documentaries, and short films. Taking in all 30 galleries will take several more visits. In fact, we've booked another visit on September 30th. Will we see you there??

    Episode Summary Who is Susie Selby, and what does it take to build an independent winery in Sonoma County? In this episode of the Wine Road Podcast, Katie Ambrosi sits down with Susie Selby, owner, winemaker, and sole proprietor of Selby Winery in downtown Healdsburg, California, for a wide-ranging conversation about winemaking, harvest in Sonoma County, the evolution of Healdsburg, and more than 25 years of making wine under the Selby label. Susie shares the story of founding Selby Winery with her father in the late 1990s and continuing the winery after his unexpected death just a few years later. She talks about her winemaking philosophy, her love of classic, Burgundian-style Chardonnay, and why she has always focused on making wines people can actually afford to open and enjoy. The conversation also uncovers some remarkable chapters in Selby's history. Susie recalls being selected to make Chardonnay for Robert Redford's Sundance program, discovering that "Bob" was actually Robert Redford, and accidentally mistaking Glenn Close for Meryl Streep. She also explains how Selby wines found their way into the White House during three presidential administrations, including becoming a favorite of Laura Bush and having Selby Sauvignon Blanc served as a house white during the Obama administration. Katie and Susie also explore the lighter side of Sonoma County wine country: the story behind the cult-favorite Bobcat Zinfandel, Susie's new Naughty Nancy white port, favorite old and new Healdsburg restaurants, affordable ways to experience Wine Country, and Susie's other passion—playing drums in a local band. It's a conversation about Sonoma County wine, women in winemaking, Healdsburg history, hospitality, family, resilience, and the relationships that make Northern Sonoma County wine country special.

    In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker and Dr. Sara Ailshire examine the available evidence on planned unassisted birth, also known as freebirth, defined as intentionally giving birth without a qualified midwife or physician present.   They explore why some people choose a planned unassisted birth, including previous trauma, distrust of the medical system, barriers to preferred care, and a desire for greater autonomy. Dr. Dekker and Dr. Ailshire also explain how freebirth differs from midwife-attended home birth, what research shows about planned community birth, and the safeguards a trained birth attendant can provide during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the newborn period. Finally, they discuss investigative reporting concerning the Free Birth Society, including allegations of misinformation and preventable harm associated with its community.   Content Note: This episode includes discussions of stillbirth, maternal death, newborn death, birth trauma, and serious complications related to planned unassisted birth.   (00:03:20) What Is Freebirth?

    Nancy recently encouraged you to check out the 1000+ archive episodes here on Tent Talk. Here is a taste from the vault of Tent Talk Podcast! In this archive episode, Nancy speaks into the urgency of becoming a people prepared for the days ahead—not through emotional reactions, human courage, or religious bravado, but through an ever-deepening oneness with the Father. She emphasizes that nothing can replace personally hearing His voice and learning to live, as Jesus did, from every word that proceeds from the Father. Exploring what it means to become “lightning rod people,” Nancy challenges maturing sons to remain exclusively loyal to the Father even when that loyalty disappoints, confuses, or provokes people on every side. Drawing from Luke 1:17, the lives of those who have gone before, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer's writings, this episode is a call to make ready a people in spirit for Him—to allow Holy Spirit to prepare the inward road, develop the mind of Christ, and form sons who can move faithfully with the Father in whatever the coming days require.

    Can an artist who comes from outside a community become an effective partner in creating change?That was the question we explored in an earlier episode of our Building Blocks of Effective Community Arts Practice series. And in our recent conversation with Eric Gottesman, we heard one compelling answer. His experiences in Ethiopia—and later with For Freedoms—taught him to stop acting as the sole author and begin making work with communities through questions, shared authority, and collective storytelling.Our next guest, choreographer and community artist Liz Lerman, takes that conversation further. Through what she calls “the horizontal,” she shows us how artists can bring their knowledge into a community without placing it above everyone else's.In this episode, we explore:The Horizontal — how leadership and expertise can be shared without disappearing.Critical Response — a feedback practice built around curiosity, consent, and respect.The Heretic's Path — how artists can challenge established systems while staying in relationship with them.So, as you listen, consider what becomes possible when expertise is joined by humility, curiosity, and a willingness to share power.Notable MentionsDance Exchange: (Previously, Liz Lerman Dance Exchange) Fueled by generosity and curiosity, Dance Exchange expands who gets to dance, where dance happens, what dance is about, and why dance matters.

In this episode of Oracle On Purpose, I am joined by Linda Lang, an Emotional Alchemist, Master Healer, and founder of ThoughtChange, for a conversation about rekindling magic, prophetic dreams, and the next evolution of her spiritual gifts. Linda brings a powerful question to the Oracle about how to reconnect with the magic and awe that first drew her into this work. What comes through is vivid: an image of a desert pilgrimage, a woman moving through ceremony, and confirmation of a prophetic dream Linda has been living out for over a decade. The message points to a commingling of her gifts and modalities, and a new, fast-moving energetic technology already on its way, echoing the diamond ray work she has channeled before. The invitation is to pause, not pivot, and let the next chapter reveal itself in its own time. If you are an intuitive entrepreneur ready to reconnect with your own sense of magic and awe, or feeling the pull toward a next chapter you can't quite name yet, this conversation on the Oracle On Purpose podcast will meet you in that space.

    “There's a reason they call it a job.” “If it was fun, everyone would do it.” “The grass isn't always greener.” Lawyers who hate their jobs hear some version of this all the time from people outside of the legal profession, usually when they are trying to explain just how miserable their work has become.There is a kernel of truth in the idea that every job involves some amount of work, frustration, and things you would rather not do. The problem is that every job does not suck in the way that being a lawyer can suck. For lawyers who have tied suffering to working hard or doing a good job, that distinction can be especially hard to see.In this episode of The Former Lawyer Podcast, Sarah Cottrell talks about why “every job sucks” is bad advice for lawyers who hate their jobs, what can make legal work uniquely unpleasant, and why believing that suffering is simply part of having a job can make it harder to imagine something better.0:30 - Hearing “there's a reason they call it a job” from people outside the law2:01 - The kinds of misery that can make legal work uniquely unpleasant3:02 - Why every job does not suck in the way being a lawyer can4:42 - When lawyers start believing work is supposed to involve suffering5:49 - Questioning whether worthwhile work can exist without mental and emotional suffering6:25 - Using therapy to unpack the belief that suffering is part of working hard7:46 - You do not have to suffer in your job8:23 - Exploring what might be a better fit despite what other people sayMentioned In Why “Every Job Sucks” Is Bad Advice for Lawyers Who Hate Their JobsFirst Steps to Leaving the Law

The odds of landing a debut novel with a Big Five publisher aren't much better. Andre Hardy has done both—and he's applied for a Guinness World Record to prove it. A former running back for the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, Hardy went on to earn an MFA from Antioch University and secure a two-book deal with Grand Central Publishing. His debut novel, TEAR THE CITY DOWN, publishes September 1, 2026.Andre Hardy has written across multiple genres, including creative nonfiction, essays and short stories, screenwriting, and long-form narrative. Andre's essays, interviews, and critical analysis have been published in L.A. Tribe Magazine, Lunch Ticket, Antioch University's cutting-edge literary and visual arts journal, and The Los Angeles Review of Books. His short story, “Negro in a Hot Tub,” is featured in Made in L.A.: An Anthology of Stories Rooted in the City of Angels, written by Los Angeles-based writers. Andre was the fourth pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1984 National Football League draft. He is a member of the NFL Retired Players Association and the NFL Legends Community, and he earned his MFA through the NFL Players Trust tuition reimbursement program.

    To watch the video of this podcast, please go to: https://youtu.be/Oll0O3sHTRM   What does the latest science reveal about how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) affect the brain, body, and stress response?  How can EFT tapping on acupressure points help regulate the nervous system and shift the physiological patterns underlying cravings, addiction, and unresolved trauma?  How can reducing chronic stress and shame help people move beyond automatic patterns and access greater choice and lasting change in addiction recovery?   In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities, Dr. Adriana Popescu speaks with Dr. Peta Stapleton, a registered clinical and health psychologist, professor at Bond University in Australia, and one of the world's leading researchers in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping). Drawing on more than two decades of EFT research, Dr. Peta explores the science behind tapping and its effects on the stress response, autonomic nervous system, memory reconsolidation, cravings, trauma, and emotional regulation. She shares how she moved from traditional psychology into conducting groundbreaking clinical research on EFT, including her early studies using tapping for food cravings. Dr. Adriana and Dr. Peta also explore the relationship between trauma, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), shame, cravings, and addictive behaviors, and why changing an unwanted behavior often requires more than willpower or simply knowing what we “should” do. Dr. Stapleton also shares a surprising anecdotal observation from her years of EFT research and clinical work involving withdrawal symptoms, and why she believes the phenomenon warrants further study. The conversation is especially timely with the release of Dr. Adriana Popescu's new book, EFT for Addiction, which explores how EFT can be used to address cravings, triggers, trauma, shame, emotional dysregulation, and other factors that can keep addictive and compulsive patterns in place. Together, they offer a fascinating look at the growing scientific evidence behind EFT and how tapping may help people move out of automatic stress responses and toward greater regulation, choice, and lasting change.   In this episode: 00:00 – Meet Dr. Peta Stapleton: A world-leading EFT researcher and the evolution of energy psychology research. 02:45 – From Skeptic to EFT Researcher: How a surprising experience with tapping led Dr. Peta from traditional psychology to pioneering clinical trials for food cravings. 09:30 – How Does EFT Tapping Actually Work? The science of acupressure points, the primovascular system, stress reduction, and the psychophysiological effects of tapping. 11:30 – Memory Reconsolidation and Lasting Change: How EFT may help the brain update old emotional learning rather than simply manage symptoms. 14:00 – Addiction, Cravings, and the Nervous System: Why addictive behaviors can become conditioned ways of regulating distress, and how tapping can create greater choice. 19:00 – Why Addiction Is More Than Willpower: The physiology of cravings, changes in the brain's reward system, and why “just stop” misunderstands addiction. 22:00 – A Surprising Observation About EFT and Withdrawal: Dr. Peta shares an intriguing pattern she has observed over many years of EFT research and clinical work involving cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine, sugary drinks, and other substances and explains why this anecdotal finding deserves further study. 25:30 – Shame, Guilt, and the Addiction Cycle: How shame and self-punishment can perpetuate addictive behaviors and interfere with recovery. 29:30 – Identity and Psychological Reversal: Who are you without the addiction? Exploring unconscious resistance, protective patterns, doubt, and ambivalence about change. 34:30 – Trauma, ACEs, and Addiction: Why adverse childhood experiences and unresolved trauma are so closely connected to addiction and how EFT research protocols address underlying trauma. 39:00 – What the Research Shows About EFT for PTSD: Meta-analyses, effect sizes, and comparisons with established trauma treatments. 40:45 – If the Evidence Is Strong, Why Is There Still Resistance to EFT? Dr. Peta discusses the four-year effort to have clinical EFT recognized by the American Psychological Association and why acceptance may be changing. 47:00 – Dr. Peta on EFT for Addiction: Dr. Peta, who wrote the foreword, shares why she believes the book can help both clinicians and people struggling with addiction, and why EFT offers something beyond willpower. 52:15 – Where to Learn More About EFT: Evidence-Based EFT, EFT Universe, research resources, and ways to learn tapping.   “It's not just psychological. It's not just in your head. It is in the body. So it's physiological. Cravings are physiological.” – Dr. Peta   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Peta Stapleton: Evidence-Based EFT: https://evidencebasedeft.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/petastapleton Books: https://www.petastapleton.com/books   Dr. Adriana's New Book, EFT for Addiction: https://a.co/d/02creweT EFT Universe: https://eftuniverse.com/   About Dr. Peta: Dr. Peta Stapleton is a registered Clinical/Health Psychologist and Professor at Bond University, Australia.

We debate whether making light of the tragedy is inappropriate or people are being overly sensitive. We learn the crazy reason clownfish lose all but one of their stripes as they age. We hear about a man paying a ton of money for a matchmaker, but has been on 40 first dates, and hasn't found Mrs. Right. We think we know why.

    Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. The evolutionary behavioral scientist and public intellectual Gad Saad recently published an influential book entitled Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind. In it, Saad argues that much of the West has, unfortunately, come to embrace a perversely deficient understanding of empathy, twisting the natural and otherwise noble human capacity to feel and respond to other peoples' sufferings into a moral license to upend the moral, economic, and political order. According to the dictates of suicidal empathy, for example, society should prioritize criminals over victims, illegal immigrants over citizens, lawbreakers over law abiders, racial identity over competence, adult sexual expression over childhood innocence, and trans women––that is, men pretending to be women––over real women. Suicidal empathy's endgame, Saad warns, is nothing less than societal ruin and the eventual totalitarian eclipse of the individual. How, from a Catholic perspective, should we assess these claims? Is Saad's characterization of suicidal empathy and its dangers accurate? If so, how should we, as Christians, constructively respond? What role, in particular, should the biblical conception of love play in defining what it means to show true compassion and care for those in need? Here to discuss Saad's book and to explain how authentic Christian charity is—and is not—related to empathy, is Bishop Robert Barron. Topics Covered 00:00 | Introduction 01:40 | Bishop Barron interviews JD Vance 02:45 | How Saad defines "empathy" 04:45 | Saad's argument on the exaggeration of empathy 06:31 | Exploring the concept of "forbidden knowledge" 09:30 | "It will destroy the West"? 11:05 | Connecting wokeism and self-destructive empathy 12:33 | Can we square wokeism's moralizing mandates with its amoral claims? 13:40 | Tracing the movement's origins 16:27 | Mistaking empathy for love 22:01 | Recognizing the fallenness of our emotional lives 27:39 | Does love equate to niceness and kindness? 28:50 | What about "love thy neighbor"? 30:42 | Distinguishing a proper preference for the poor from its unhealthy overemphasis 32:46 | Addressing the Christian impulse beneath the wokeist trappings 34:42 | Listener question: Where was God before time? 36:33 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!
