Can science, beauty, and faith converge in our quest for truth? Joining us to discuss this topic is Dr. Francis Collins: a pioneer physician-scientist who led the Human Genome Project and has been director of the National Institutes of Health during the tenures of three U.S. presidents. Dr. Collins shares insights from his impressive career: from the discovery of genes linked to many diseases to addressing public health challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and his efforts to bring harmony between science and faith. We will also discuss the intersection of beauty and science, public health leadership, and the critical task of bridging societal divides in our polarized times. Dr. Collins's latest book, The Road to Wisdom, deals with the relationship between truth, science, faith, and trust.In this first part of our conversation, we talk about:The transformative power of scienceWhy Francis wrote The Road to WisdomHow politics has led to misinformationThe importance of trust in institutions despite failuresThe search for truth in science amidst uncertaintyTo learn more about Dr. Francis Collins's work, you can find him at: Website: https://biologos.org/?campaign=539861Twitter: https://x.com/BioLogosOrgLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/biologosorg/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biologosorgThis episode is sponsored by:John Templeton Foundation (https://www.templeton.org/)Templeton Religion Trust (https://templetonreligiontrust.org/)Support the show

Let's look at this “risky” business of dating. I was inspired to do this episode after a friend recently reached out asking for some dating advice when it comes to a situation where she wasn't sure if it was worth the risk and it really got me thinking. I think it's natural to approach our dating lives from the mindset that it's a risk. But is it really? Of course there are situations where we may be in danger or at risk, but when we are in the mindset of dating being risky, is it really, or, are we just afraid of gettin hurt? In this episode, let's look at the idea of riskyness and how you are thinking about your dating life so that you have aligned thoughts and can call in the love of your life. Dating doesn't have to be as risky as we make it out to be. Coaching is all about looking at our thoughts and investigating our actions so that we can create what it is we desire. It's critical to know yourself and what best serves you and I show you how to get clear on these things through my course, Stop Wanting Him Back and Find Someone Better. In this 60-video course, I walk you through how to heal your heart, fall the fuck in love with you, and find someone better. And if you really want to take your healing to the next level, I also offer a one-year group coaching program.

ALL genders and sexual orientations are encouraged to listen and apply Claire's tools into their own lives!Editing and show notes by Roth Media

After all, it's made up of imperfect humans interacting with other imperfect humans. And while perfection isn't the goal, we all secretly wish for a workplace where people find ways to bring out the best in each other. Unfortunately, that's not always an intuitive skill. It takes guidance, practice, and then more guidance and practice... but with the right leadership, it's definitely achievable.

In this inspiring interview, you will hear from Celeste Hartwell on how can we bring in the feminine energy (intuition) into the masculine structure (action, strategy) to find balance and to fulfil your vision. No matter whether you are working in a corporate environment or you are an entrepreneur, you can relate to our conversation on why women have a tendency to play small or deflect compliments. You will learn about why it is vital for us to understand and acknowledge our worth, not when we want to ask for a pay rise, but as an act to practise receiving. 2020 and 2021 have been challenging for many people, for many different reasons. We also talked about how can we ride through this time and become more present and honest with our emotions. More importantly, how to find strength in the middle of a crisis, and peace, in a time of uncertainty. Celeste Hartwell, the creator of Divine Feminine Leaders, a spiritual leader and money mindset mentor. She is also the managing director at eWomenNetwork in Greater Burlington. After 18 years working in a corporate environment, Celeste now helps her clients to step into their power, become more magnetised, visible and inspired. You can also connect with Celeste via Facebook here.
