In this heart-centered episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Jody Durand—author of Country Boy Soul—to explore how life's unexpected storms can lead us back to purpose. From losing his father at 20 and running a call center during 9/11, to discovering healing through vulnerability, mentorship, and authentic leadership in sales, Jody shares a raw, real-life blueprint of resilience. His story is a reminder that we don't have to be perfect to live a purposeful life. About the Guest:Jody Durand is a farmer-turned-sales mentor, author, and advocate for emotional honesty—especially among men. His memoir Country Boy Soul chronicles his transformation through loss, burnout, and rebuilding, offering powerful insights into self-worth, mental health, and fulfillment. Now living on a farm with his wife Laura, Jody mentors others in leadership and sales while staying grounded in gratitude and truth. Key Takeaways: "It all looks good from the road" masks the real struggles behind success and survival. Jody's story reveals how unchecked burnout, grief, and societal expectations can silently erode mental well-being.

Good morning. ‘Her own thoughts and reflections were habitually her best companions.' So says Jane Austen of Fanny Price in Mansfield Park. But she could equally have said it of herself. Jane Austen's 250th birthday this week is being widely celebrated on this network. She was swathed in the practice of faith: her father and two of her brothers were ordained, and two visits to church on Sunday were her lifelong pattern. She certainly knew the shortcomings of religion: parodying the servility and self-importance of the parson Mr Collins, she says he ‘was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society.' Her gift is to turn the interactions of family and community, and especially the elaborate dance and fragility of finding a marriage partner, into a whole moral universe. Her characters transcend their surroundings. One, Mr Bennet, says laconically, ‘For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?' Another, Mr Knightley, says poignantly to Emma Woodhouse, ‘If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.' It's a truth universally acknowledged that it's never been clear what it actually means to be a Christian. Some insist on adherence to specific doctrines. Others on obedience to identifiable moral codes. Others point to formation in a traditional culture. A woman of her time, Jane Austen's participation in worship and devotion was socially conventional. But she has her own answers to this perennial question. If she were to identify a favourite parable, my guess is she'd choose the story of the two sons, one of whom refused his father's request to go into the vineyard, but did; while his brother said, ‘I will,' but didn't. For Austen, Christianity's about actions not words. ‘Christian' is more of a verb than a noun. The many suitors are sifted out not by their protestations of love, but by their true character. Of Fanny Price, we're told, ‘She made herself indispensable to those she loved.' Which connects Jane Austen in a significant way to Christmas. For the Christmas story's not about what God says. It's about what God does. In Northanger Abbey, Isabella Thorpe exclaims, ‘There's nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves. It's not my nature.' Coming in person as a vulnerable baby is communicating by action rather than by word. Maybe Jane Austen knew exactly what she thought being a Christian meant. It meant not loving by halves. Perhaps she's more of a theologian than she's usually given credit for.

De värsta pandemier som drabbat mänskligheten var när européerna på 1500-talet tog med sig en dödlig cocktail av sina vanligaste smittsamma sjukdomar till Amerika. Idag tror man att 90 procent av urbefolkningen strök med i sjukdomar de saknade immunitet mot. Hela kulturer gick under.Under 1700-talet började de växande nationalstaterna i Europa att utveckla metoder för att hantera pandemier – trots att den tidens läkevetenskap ofta missförstod hur smittor spreds. Samtidigt som böldpesten i stort sett försvann, uppstod nya pandemier till följd av industrialismens trånga, osanitära städer.Detta är det andra av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu om pandemier, där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist, professor i historia, särskilt historisk geografi, vid Stockholms universitet, om hur farsoter har påverkat samhällen genom tiderna – från medeltidens pest till spanska sjukan.När européerna anlände till Amerika på 1500-talet förde de med sig sjukdomar som smittkoppor, mässling och influensa – sjukdomar som den amerikanska ursprungsbefolkningen saknade immunitet mot. Resultatet blev en demografisk kollaps: upp till 90 procent av urbefolkningen dog inom ett sekel.Denna ”mikrobiella erövring” möjliggjorde den europeiska kolonisationen av Nord- och Sydamerika. Avfolkningen ledde till omfattande återförskogning, vilket i sin tur påverkade koldioxidnivåerna i atmosfären – ett exempel på hur pandemier kan få långtgående konsekvenser bortom människans hälsa.Det är först på 1800-talet som vetenskapen gradvis börjar förstå smittspridningens mekanismer. Kolera blev århundradets mest fruktade pandemi – men också den som ledde till avgörande förändringar i folkhälsopolitik och stadsplanering.På 1800-talet svepte koleraepidemier fram över världen. Flera pandemier startade i Asien och nådde Europa via handelsvägar. Koleran var vattenburen och slog särskilt hårt mot tätbefolkade städer med bristfällig sanitet. Under perioden 1834–73 drabbades Sverige av nio koleraepidemier. Vid den största av dessa, 1834, insjuknade mer än 25 000 personer, av vilka drygt hälften dog.Den engelske läkaren John Snow revolutionerade smittspårningen 1854 när han identifierade en förorenad vattenpump som kolerans källa i London – en insats som lade grunden för modern epidemiologi. Hans upptäckt blev en katalysator för utvecklingen av moderna avloppssystem, säkrare dricksvatten och en ny syn på urban hygien. Koleran blev med andra ord en drivkraft bakom avgörande samhällsreformer.Mellan 1918 och 1920 dödade spanska sjukan mellan 25 och 100 miljoner människor världen över – fler än första världskriget. Pandemin slog särskilt hårt mot unga vuxna, vilket bröt det klassiska U-formade dödlighetsmönstret för influensa. Trots dess enorma påverkan föll sjukdomen snabbt i glömska – kanske för att samhället redan var traumatiserat av krigets fasor.Senare forskning har visat att pandemin lämnade djupa men ofta osynliga spår. Barn till mödrar som varit sjuka under graviditeten löpte högre risk för kroniska sjukdomar senare i livet – en påminnelse om att pandemiers effekter kan vara långvariga, subtila och påverka generationer framåt.Bild: Smittkoppor under den spanska erövringen, ur bok XII i Florentinska kodexen (1540–1585).

In our final episode of Nurturing Financial Freedom for 2025, we take a deep dive into the rapidly evolving world of education and what that means for families planning ahead. College isn't what it used to be, and as we head into 2026, we unpack how demographic shifts, cost pressures, and emerging technologies like AI are reshaping higher education—and what families can do to stay ahead of the curve.Alex explains how college enrollment has been declining steadily since its peak in 2010. While part of that is due to lower birth rates post-2007, we focus on the bigger shift—young people increasingly turning toward trade careers, certifications, and alternative learning paths. Fields like HVAC, welding, and nursing are growing in demand, and students are seeking out stable, well-paying jobs that don't require a four-year degree.For those who do choose college, we're seeing a clear shift in preferred majors. STEM fields like engineering, computer science, and data science are growing, along with healthcare and business, while traditional liberal arts majors are shrinking. Rising costs are a huge part of the conversation, with many families questioning whether a $320,000 undergraduate degree truly delivers a return on investment. This economic pressure has pushed many toward more flexible paths like community college, online programs, or hybrid models that offer practical value without the high price tag.We also examine how universities themselves are evolving—sometimes in the wrong direction. From luxury dorms to reduced tenure-track faculty, schools are spending more to attract students but aren't always investing in what really matters: quality education. Alex shares a personal story from his alma mater, Washington University that perfectly illustrates this disconnect.Next, we turn to the financial side. Ed walks us through how 529 plans remain one of the best tools families can use, even in this uncertain educational landscape. These plans are far more flexible than many realize—they now cover trade schools, certifications, online degrees, and even some K–12 costs. Plus, any leftover funds can be rolled into a Roth IRA, offering tax-free growth and long-term retirement benefits for beneficiaries. The ability to change the plan's beneficiary and the favorable tax treatment make 529s an incredibly versatile, powerful savings option.Even if the future of education is less predictable, we agree the cost will still be significant. That's why saving early and often—while staying flexible—is more important than ever.

In this episode of Cryptid Warfare i have Returning Guest Dr. Dennis Carroll, we confront a hard but necessary question: What does the Bible say about evil—and our responsibility to stand against it? We break down the idea that evil doesn't thrive because it's powerful, but because good people choose silence, comfort, or compliance. Scripture makes it clear: peace with evil is not peace at all. To ignore it, excuse it, or coexist with it is to participate in its growth. This episode challenges listeners to examine their own stance. Are we called to be passive observers—or warriors of truth? Is neutrality a virtue, or a disguise for fear? Warrior or Coward? The line is drawn. The choice is personal. And doing nothing is still a decision.

It's a banner day here on the pod, Slushies. We welcome a very special guest, American Poetry Review's Elizabeth Scanlon to the table as we discuss three prose poems from Sara Burant. Dagne sends out birthday wishes to Canada's own Margaret Atwood while Lisa shows the team her Margaret Atwood-as-saint candle. We note the recent poetry trend towards raising the profile of female visual artists whose work has been overlooked during their lifetimes. Artists like Sonia Delaunay, mentioned in Burant's poem “Fields,” and Hilma af Kilmt, whose art inspired Didi Jackson's recent book “My Infinity.”  The mention of a clay pipe in one poem sends Marion running for a treasure her husband found while mudlarking. Kathy cops to her blue-collar resistance to a precious ars poetica and we discuss what it takes to win her over in the end. Elizabeth relates how John Ashbery likens waiting for a poem to a cat's finicky arrival. We note Frank O'Hara's notion of “deep gossip,” name checking his own friends along with celebrities in his poems, a gesture Burant employs in her poem “Heat wave.” And we come full circle with a shout out to American Poetry Review's own podcast where Elizabeth interviewed Margaret Atwood during the pandemic. As always, thanks for listening! At the table: Dagne Forrest, Samantha Neugebauer, Elizabeth Scanlon, Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Lisa Zerkle, and Lillie Volpe (sound engineer) Bio: Sara Burant's poems, reviews, and collaborative translations of Paul Éluard's poems have appeared in journals such as OmniVerse, Pedestal, periodicities, Ruminate, and The Denver Quarterly. Her work has been honored with a fellowship from Oregon Literary Arts and a residency at Playa. At 55, she received an MFA in Poetry from Saint Mary's College of California. She's the author of a chapbook, Verge. Fields after Frank O'Hara And the truck driver I was made in the image of has a tattoo reminiscent of a Sonia Delaunay on her chest. And on her upper left arm, a nude torso of Apollo reminiscent not only of Rilke but of the male figure who loved her passionately in a dream—my god, he knew how to kiss and be kissed and knew her better than she'll ever know herself. Nobody sees these tattoos except her, looking in the mirror in a cheap motel's bathroom. At home she has no mirrors, just the phone she occasionally snaps a selfie with to make sure she has no spinach or gristle lodged between her teeth before heading to the bar. Actually, the truck driver I was made in the image of is undercover. She's really a Jungian analyst. Those cows in another dream, her heaviest self, chewing the cud of the past, farting, trampling the delicate vegetation, forming a tight circle around the calves when threatened, bellowing when all else fails. Hauling 30 tons in her 35-ton rig, she speeds past field after field which are all the same field. Oh field of dreams, why hasn't she built you? Instead she deletes photos to make room for more photos, wondering why this sunset, that face, this puddle's reflection, that abstract painting. She fished and caught and couldn't filet the tender meat that smelled too much like drowning. One rainy winter in Paris she nearly did drown. Creeping water-logged from museum to museum, finally she clung to Cézanne's misshapen fruit as if to a buoy. The apples and pears, just one man's apprehension of apples and pears, not thoughts inside thought-balloons, not some parable of ancient September. Just tilting tabletops, shapes, colors, the suggestion of shadows and light. Ars poetica For the chickens I save tidbits, potato skins, and the outer cabbage leaves which make me think of hats. The red wobble of the hens' combs and the smell of their fecal heat, unaccountably dear to me. Awaiting a match to warm me, I chew on a clay pipe's stem, contemplating the waning moon of its bowl and my pink lipstick past. The silence behind words spoken or thought clucks softly in my inner ear. Sitting inside, I can't help looking out, a lifting, carrying blue, the wind's little pull on the earlobe of my heart. Lately I've been cutting paper into shapes that mean Feed me or Take me to your leader, wishing I'd been taught to name feelings as they arise. Tenderness for the apple still hanging from winter's limb. Loneliness drunk down with morning's darjeeling. There are conspirators for beauty. Like rabbits, they leave tracks in the snow. Like geese, they arrow through hallways of night. Without sentiment or self-pity they gaze at certain slants of light. They chip away the ice with a pick to get at the lock. Then they pick the lock. And oh, what a view. I want to walk in the dark to get there, not following anyone's directions. To enter the fortune teller's crystal ball with bread in my pocket and a botanist's loupe. Though I don't know your name, I move forward only beside you, your imaginary hand in mine.  Heat wave The woman at the table next to mine gives up loud-talking in favor of song, but it's not looking for love, it's looking for FUN—& feeling groovy. Maybe I should warn her—today's theme isn't love or fun, it's submarine & skedaddle, it's danger-danger, hold your breath & sound. This avalanche of heat, these record-shattering days. See the breakage piling up on sidewalks so hot the barefoot babies weep as they learn to toddle. Maybe, as you like to point out, I'm catastrophizing, when what I really want is to feel groovy again. To butter my skin with baby oil & sizzle, walking barefoot along the burning sand, Bradford Beach where I fell in love unrequited for the umpteenth time. Back then, who was counting? Back then summer lasted for years & still wasn't long enough. 1978, despite Mother's reservations, I saved my babysitting money for a ticket to Fleetwood Mac at County Stadium. Eilleen, Maggie, Liz, Jean, Mary, me—& Stevie Nicks & Christine McVie, the elm trees & long summer dusk of those women's voices. A dusk so filled with the orange, violet & chartreuse silk of its immense flag flying above, beside & through you, you neglect to notice shadows splotching the periphery & forget your curfew. I didn't notice much, so stoned I was, we were, melting into the moment's spotlessness, our adolescent hips grooving, our tan arms waving, here, now, this, this, this—I mean there, then, that, that, that—no one yet suspended for drinking, no one yet strung out, dropping out, running off with boys to Oregon or Wyoming, limping home pregnant or in rags. The elms, gone. Mom, Vince, Rob & Christine McVie, too. I've had to swear off many things due to poor digestion—but oblivion, I'd still like to indulge in that sometimes, diving into it like a bee into a flower, a morning glory, its dumb, purple, one day only show.

In this third week of Advent, Pastor Nate explores the theme of joy through the powerful moment when God reveals His glory and the message of Christ's birth; Not to kings or religious elites, but to ordinary shepherds in the fields. Drawing from Luke 2:8–20 and 1 Corinthians 1:27–29, we were reminded that God delights in using the overlooked and the humble so that He alone will be glorified and no one can boast in their own merit.We also reflect on how an encounter with God's glory produces lasting joy. This joy then overflows into witness, even in suffering, as seen in the life of Betsie ten Boom. True joy is not tied to circumstances but rooted in Christ, and it shines as a powerful testimony to the world.Never underestimate what God can do through a surrendered, ordinary life, and to ask Him to fill us anew with the joy that comes from encountering His glory. As Jesus reminds us in Matthew 5:14–16, we are called to let that light and joy shine to everyone around us!

Spain is the European Union's largest fruit and vegetable producer, with exports topping €18 billion in 2024. Yet those whose work sustains this lucrative sector face widespread underpayment and labour rights violations - with some facing extreme exploitation bordering on modern slavery.As Eoghan tells Alan, this model should not be seen as some antiqued part of the Spanish economy but rather in its employment of digital surveillance techniques and with the growing financialization of the agricultural sector, Spain is at the cutting edge of European farming.If you like what we produce, and want more, please think of contributing and making the podcast sustainable going forward:⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/thesobremeyThe investigation discussed in this episode:1.
