Carolina Allen discusses motherhood with Erica Komisar, LCSW and Madeline Wallin from FEFAF and Haro    “Free women. Free women from feeling terrorized and imprisoned by the narrative that unless they are a hard driving career woman, making lots of money competing with men out in the world, that they have no value. Free women, and give them permission to embrace instincts that they feel, but society doesn't give them permission to feel.” - Erica Komisar   “How can we talk about the future of the world if we can't talk about, and especially in a forum that's supposed to be for women, [if] we are not using the word ‘mother' or ‘family' and we're talking about the future?” - Carolina Allen   “We need to use the words more.

In this episode of Braving Business, we sit down with Ulf Ekberg, co-founder of the iconic Swedish pop group Ace of Base. Rising to global fame in the 1990s with hits like "All That She Wants" and "The Sign," the band sold over 50 million records worldwide, making them one of Sweden's most successful musical exports. Beyond the charts, Ulf's journey is one of transformation. From his early days immersed in Gothenburg's electronic music scene, inspired by bands like Kraftwerk, to co-founding Ace of Base, his passion for technology and music was evident. However, his past associations with extremist groups during his teenage years cast a shadow over his success. Ulf has publicly acknowledged and expressed deep regret for this period, emphasizing that those views are not reflective of who he is today. In recent years, Ulf has channeled his energies into technology and sustainability. He co-founded a music production and management company with Jonas Berggren and has been involved in sustainable impact investing, including serving as a governor for the Stoic Foundation. In this candid conversation, Ulf shares:The origins of Ace of Base and their unexpected rise to fameHis reflections on past mistakes and the journey to personal growthTransitioning from pop stardom to tech entrepreneurship and sustainability initiativesInsights into the music industry's evolution and the role of technologyKey Takeaways:Personal transformation is possible, even after public misstepsDiversifying one's career can lead to fulfilling second actsEmbracing technology and sustainability can drive meaningful changeConnect with Ulf Ekberg:Website: about.me/ulf.ekbergInstagram: @ulfbuddhaLinkedIn: Ulf EkbergContact Us: Visit www.bravingbusiness.com for more episodes and updates.Ulf's story is a testament to the complexities of personal growth, the power of reinvention, and the enduring impact of music and technology.

It's tax day, but some of the important policies that are helping your farm maintain profitability are in jeopardy if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 is allowed to expire this year. Provisions like the Qualified Business Income Deduction, 100% Bonus Depreciation, and the increased Estate Tax Exemption are critically important to producers across the country. So in this episode, we're talking with two of NCGA's foremost experts about how these policies benefit farmers… and what we can do to preserve them. Andy Jobman is a farmer from Gothenburg, Nebraska, and chairs NCGA's Risk Management Action Team, which has been researching the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act at the farm gate and building up our case to preserve it. And Wayne Stoskopf is NCGA's Director of Public Policy, serving as the D.C. staff liaison for all matters involving tax policy. Together, they'll explain why farmers can't afford to lose these tax protections, what it means for rural communities, and why it's critical for growers to contact their legislators about this issue.

“One of the things we know about the brain is that information that is acquired through problem solving is more likely to be retained. I might start rehearsal by saying 'take out the piece in D major,' 'let's start in the climactic moment of the Brahms,' 'take out the piece where fire is used as a metaphor for passion.' You start with a problem, so you're already engaging neurons. This works at any age."Sharon J. Paul holds the Robert M. Trotter Chair of Music at the University of Oregon, where she currently serves as Department Head of Music Performance and Director of Choral Activities. Her teaching includes graduate courses in choral conducting, repertoire, and pedagogy, along with conducting the internationally award-winning Chamber Choir.In March 2020, Oxford University Press published Dr. Paul's book, Art & Science in the Choral Rehearsal, which features many of the creative and evidence-based teaching strategies she has cultivated over her career.The University of Oregon Chamber Choir has placed first or second in four international choral competitions, most recently winning first prize in the Chamber Choir category at the Grand Prix of Nations Competition in Gothenburg, Sweden in August 2019.

In this powerful episode of Finding Harmony Podcast, we welcome back Kate Winter, a registered psychodynamic counselor, yoga teacher, and former police detective, to explore the deep patterns that shape our behavior—and how we can break free from them. Kate shares her personal journey of moving through extremes—from marathon running and bodybuilding to Ashtanga yoga and psychotherapy—and how each phase of her life revealed deeper lessons about control, identity, and healing. Trigger Warning This episode discusses topics that may be sensitive for some listeners, including eating disorders, body image struggles, exercise addiction, trauma, and fertility challenges. If these topics are triggering for you, please listen with care or seek support from a trusted professional.   Key Topics Discussed: The patterns of competition and self-worth that drive overachievers Why resistance isn't something to fight—it's something to listen to The role of therapy in complementing yoga practice for deeper self-awareness How letting go of control allowed Kate to get pregnant after years of struggle The connection between somatic experience, psychotherapy, and healing trauma What happens when we stop pushing and start trusting our bodies This episode is a must-listen if you've ever struggled with perfectionism, discipline, or the fear of slowing down. Kate's story is a beautiful reminder that true transformation often begins with letting go. Kate Winter is a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist based in Brighton in the UK.    As a former Police Officer and senior leader in a Rape Crisis Centre, Kate has spent the past twenty years working on the frontline of trauma. Moving away from the idea that trauma is something to be 'healed', Kate works on the premise that trauma can be used as a vehicle for individual and collective transformation.    With additional experience as an Ashtanga yoga practitioner and Personal Trainer, Kate uses traditional psychoanalysis, yoga philosophy and movement practices to help clients bring about lasting change.

In this meandering journey through consciousness, Henrik explores the complex relationship between certainty and humility, weaving together personal stories from his acting school days with reflections on leadership, fear, and the human need for control. From his first terrifying encounter with a carousel at age 10 to conquering his fears on the "Candy Train" with his daughter years later, Henrik contemplates how we often let ourselves be buried under the "dust of convenience" – and what it takes to shake ourselves free.The episode takes an unexpected turn as Henrik shares his thoughts on the phenomenon of "strong men" in politics and society, questioning why we're drawn to those who claim to have all the answers. Through a vivid recollection of his acting school admission experience in 1995, he illustrates how uncertainty and humility can be more powerful than false confidence.Between discussions of exercise, muscle fibers, and running like the wind in a Gothenburg park, Henrik weaves a tapestry of thoughts about finding authentic ways to feel alive without artificial stimulants. It's a deeply personal exploration of growth, fear, and the courage to admit when we don't have all the answers.For more information on Henrik Ståhl, click here: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Become a supporting member and listen to ad free episodes at: https://plus.acast.com/s/falli-asleep-with-henrik.

Wilma Nielsen, the Swedish mid-distance phenom from Oregon, joins the show today to discuss her recent breakthroughs in running.  Wilma is fresh off breaking the school record in the mile in January at the Dr. Sander Scorcher indoor meet at the Armory in New York. This six-second PR places her number three all time in the NCAA for the indoor mile and number two on Sweden's all-time indoor list.   Wilma is a two-time All-American and three-time Swedish National Champion. She won the bronze medal at the European U23 Championships in Estonia where she ran a 2:02.29 in the 800m. Wilma has run collegiately for Bradley University, the University of Washington and now Oregon. Wilma was born in Gothenburg, Sweden. She has a twin sister, Julia–who was a package deal with her at Bradley–as well as older siblings Simon and Elisabeth, the latter of who was a Swedish National Championship finalist in the 800m in 2019 and 2020. Needless to say, running was a fixture in the Nielsen household.  Wilma was running fast even in her high school days, logging PRs of 58.19 in the 400m, 2:10.01 in the 800m and 4:31.59 in the 1,500m. Since she started running collegiately, she has lowered those to 57.50 in the 400m, 2:02.26 in the 800m, 4:07.38 in the 1500m and the aforementioned 4:25.89 mile. In today's conversation, Wilma dives into her recent 4:25 Mile, her plans to do bigger and better things at the Millrose games, her hopes for her future, how she's grown as an athlete while at Oregon, what it's like to have Shalane Flanagan as a coach, and so much more.  Take the time to learn from and get insights from one of the biggest stars in the NCAA right now!

The way we think about health is changing. It's no longer a question of either science or intuition, either Western medicine or Eastern tradition. It's about the way they inform and expand each other. That's exactly what today's guest, Morgan Lee, has spent his career exploring. He started in the high-pressure world of emergency medicine—first as an EMT, then as a registered nurse—and over time, his focus shifted. He became an authorized Level 2 Ashtanga Yoga teacher, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, and an acupuncturist—an evolution that followed his own personal healing journey. In this conversation, we get into: How acupuncture and yoga work in parallel, despite coming from different traditions The way energy moves through the body—and why it matters The emotional weight we carry in our tissues, and what happens when we start working with it The connection between meridians, chakras, and Western anatomy What it was like to transition from conventional medicine into a world many people still consider “alternative” Morgan's approach is refreshingly practical. He isn't interested in mysticism for mysticism's sake—he's focused on what works, what's real, and what can actually make a difference in how you feel. Whether you're here for the science or the subtlety, there's something in this episode for you.

We've arrived in 2025, and assuming President-Elect Trump is inaugurated, this means he will be the first president to take office convicted of felony crimes.  And since we know that an organization's tone is often set by its leadership, we can't help wondering: how will we see Trump's leadership impact the culture of the United States, and how will this play out in our collective futures?   Let's be real about where we are in this moment in history, courtesy of the Atlantic: “According to a report last year by the Varieties of Democracy Institute at the University of Gothenburg, in Sweden, when it comes to global freedom, we have returned to a level last seen in 1986. About 5.7 billion people—72 percent of the world's population—now live under authoritarian rule. Even the United States, vaunted beacon of democracy, is about to inaugurate a president who openly boasts of wanting to be a “dictator on day one,” who regularly threatens to jail his opponents and sic the military on the “enemy within,” and who jokes about his election being the country's last…..Many Americans understand today what political exhaustion and complacency look and feel like. But the dissident is the one who hopes against hope.”    We can't imagine it'll be particularly easy, but we do believe we have reason to hope. Hope is the consequence of action, and is often self-fulfilling (we act, we hope, we act some more). This is why today, we're asking you this: How are YOU Trump-proofing your life?   What to listen for:  Putting self care first - like, REAL self care - and the story about Sara's thunderclap headaches How to stay informed while keeping your sanity   Necessary mindsets, including trusting yourself, grieving, choosing your lane / letting go of the rest, getting real about power - and asking ourselves what we're willing to sacrifice (comfort, convenience, or more) to stand up for what's right Simple example: Do you believe fact-checking and real people are important parts of social media platforms?

A study led by Leonardo Iasi, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, shows that the mixture happened over a period of 7,000 years, lasting from about 50,000 years ago until the Neanderthals started to disappear. The Neanderthal genes that persist in our genome are tied to metabolism and immunity, which might be because humans were traveling to new places and eating new foods to which Neanderthals were already adapted. Iasi's research was published in the journal Science.What Donner and Blitzen might have been saying to RudolphResearchers from Concordia University have released a new study about caribou vocalizations, and what the animals might be signaling to each other. The vocalizations are similar to those of elk and moose, but as herd animals, caribou signaling is less about summoning mates from a distance, and more about males warning competitors to fly off elsewhere. Biologists Robert Weladji and Laura Puch analyzed recordings of these calls to search for information buried in the grunts. They found that the frequencies gave signals as to the age and size of the animal. The research was published in the journal Bioacoustics.Do crustaceans feel pain? A new study of their neural activity says yesBy monitoring the neural activity in crabs while delivering painful stimuli, researchers concluded the response they measured is associated with what we would think would be a painful experience. This study, in the journal Biology, adds to the evidence that crustaceans can sense painful stimuli as the kind of negative experience that we tend to associate with pain.

Do we have an episode for you? (Yes we do). We discuss all the just-announced details of Disney Tales of Magic, the new Nighttime Spectacular at Disneyland Paris starting January 10th, 2025. We discuss the current state of attractions at DLP compared to Liseberg Park in Gothenburg,  including ride operations and efficiency, and the potential impact of the new show on the Disneyland Paris experience including the limitations of drone usage. The announcement of the first-ever Disney Music Festival gets discussed, as well as the excitement surrounding the Disney Enchanted Christmas season. We also have a two letters from Georgina in Love Our Listeners, as well as a special voice message from her rather unruly buddy.   Don't miss our special Christmas campaign in the middle of the show, in which we call for your generosity during these difficult times.    But the most important part of this show is the return of a very special person, an integral part of this show and one to guide us through the next year of developments at Disneyland Paris with her on-brand, on-topic opinion and insights.    By the way that beautiful piece of music is an arrangement of Magic Everywhere by Mike Attinger and you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew9acVVpJ88   Like so many others in the past week, come join us on Bluesky, we're very active there with a lot of other DLP and Disney parks accounts! https://bsky.app/profile/d2dlp.bsky.social And we're also still posting on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/dedicatedtodlp and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dedicatedtodlp/ and sometimes Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dedicatedtodlp
