In this special holiday replay episode, we revisit our conversation with Ashley Beckwith, founder of Foray Biosciences, who shares her groundbreaking work in plant cell culture and tissue engineering. Growing up in Colorado, Ashley watched forests disappear to housing development and wildfire—experiences that sparked her lifelong mission to reimagine how we produce plant materials. After training as an engineer and working in medical device development, she pivoted to apply tissue engineering concepts to plants, initially exploring lab-grown wood before discovering a more fundamental problem: the lack of accessible, efficient plant cell culture processes. Today, Foray develops fabricated seeds for forest restoration, creates harvest-free plant products, and builds AI-powered tools to accelerate plant science R&D. Ashley explains why plant cells are the fundamental building blocks for everything from molecules to materials to entire ecosystems, and how her company is working to solve the seed shortage crisis that prevents us from restoring 94% of post-wildfire sites. She also discusses the potential for de-extinction of recently lost plant species in California and the importance of creating regenerative rather than extractive relationships with plant systems. This conversation explores the intersection of synthetic biology, forestry, and biomanufacturing while reminding us that we are all, whether we know it or not, plant people.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life. Hosts Karl Schmieder and Erum Azeez Khan share stories and interview the leaders and influencers changing the world by growing everything. Biology is the oldest technology. And it can be engineered.

Host GG Hawkins sits down with filmmaker Charlie Polinger to unpack the making of his debut feature, The Plague. Polinger discusses his transition from theater to film, the personal childhood memories that shaped the story, and how embracing chaos—rather than controlling it—became central to his directing process. From casting an electrifying ensemble of young actors to shaping dread through sound design and editing, the conversation explores how specificity, vulnerability, and trust can turn a coming-of-age story into psychological horror. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest discuss… Transitioning from theater directing to feature filmmaking Drawing from childhood memory to create visceral, psychological horror Why a boys' water polo camp became the perfect contained setting Casting and directing a large ensemble of young actors Letting location do the storytelling heavy lifting Embracing chaos on set instead of fighting it Building anxiety through sound design and post-production rhythm Hands-on collaboration in the edit and score development Advice for emerging filmmakers on making work consistently Memorable Quotes: “I just wanted to create a really kind of visceral, subjective, psychological experience of being a 12-year-old boy.” “There's strategy built into the cruelty and the violence and getting away with it—and that felt really ripe cinematically. “The space is sort of like a character in this film.” “The more I put out into the world, the more that the world gave back.” Guest: Charlie Polinger Resources: The Plague EP by Lexi Tannenholtz on Cannes first-timers: A First-Timer's Guide to the Cannes Film Festival Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

In episode 1189, Daytime Confidential marks Season 19 with a special Reflections episode featuring Melodie Aikels. Melodie Aikels looks back on how she went from a teenage listener on a Guiding Light message board to a core member of the Daytime Confidential team. She talks about discovering the podcast in high school, setting iTunes alerts so she would never miss an episode, and what it felt like to be "the baby" among a group of veteran soap fans and journalists. She remembers breaking Guiding Light's cancellation story, covering So Long Springfield events, and how a last minute call from Jamey Giddens led to her very first flight: a Guiding Light media trip to Universal Studios that threw her into the deep end of the soap press pool. From red carpets and Emmys to Performer of the Week "checkboxes," Melodie explains how she found her voice as a critic while still fangirling over icons like Melody Thomas Scott, Eric Braeden and Lawrence Saint-Victor. Melodie also digs into how the genre has changed over the past 19 seasons: the loss of the New York soaps and the Broadway pipeline, the shift from slow burn storytelling to fast, condensed arcs, and the frustration of "telling not showing." She shares why Beyond the Gates gives her hope, why she will always defend Nikki Newman, and what it means to literally grow up on a podcast while the soap world reshapes itself around you. 00:00 – From Listener to "the Baby" of the Podcast Melodie remembers discovering Daytime Confidential in high school, listening on the way to and from school, and falling in love with the rants and top fives. 06:00 – Message Boards, Early Podcasts and Becoming DC Family Old school SoapNet and TWoP message boards, Luke and Lisa's early days, Jamey debuting as "Jay," and how different ages and perspectives shaped the show. 12:00 – Guiding Light, Mel's Guiding Gossip and Breaking a Cancellation Running a Guiding Light board, launching Mel's Guiding Gossip, and how a connection through Nikki led to writing for Daytime Confidential and later breaking the GL cancellation story. 18:00 – First Flight, Universal Studios and So Long Springfield Jamey's call that sent Mel on her first ever plane trip, Guiding Light's media shoot at Universal, meeting other soap press, and covering the So Long Springfield events with Mike. 24:00 – Red Carpets, Emmys and Seeing Legends Up Close Why red carpets feel like a circus, building rapport with actors, and the surreal experience of interviewing people she grew up watching, from Melody Thomas Scott to Eric Braeden and Lawrence Saint-Victor. 31:00 – Top Fives, Checkboxes and DC's Running Jokes Favorite top five episodes, Performer of the Week "checkbox" hall of fame, awkward Guiding Light moments, and the inside jokes that became part of DC's language. 39:00 – How Soaps Have Changed: Speed, New York and Lost Pipelines The last great era of mid-2000s soaps, losing the New York shows, what the Broadway pipeline meant for performance, and how faster pacing has cost the genre key emotional beats. 49:00 – Beyond the Gates, Bread and Butter Actors and Soap Optimism Why Beyond the Gates makes her hopeful, the importance of a predominantly Black cast, and the renewed focus on veterans like Jane Elliott, Susan Seaforth Hayes and Melody Thomas Scott. 56:00 – Rewrites, "Tell, Not Show" and What Still Drives Her Crazy The problems with rewriting on-screen history, off-screen "tell" instead of "show," and why the genre has to get smarter about how it uses limited time and budgets. 1:04:00 – Growing Up on the Podcast and Meeting DC Listeners Melodie reflects on literally growing up on DC, building real friendships online, being recognized by voice at plays and fan events, and why she still finds joy in doing the work.

Messy Family Podcast : Catholic conversations on marriage and family
Summary What's it really like growing up in a big family? In this special Hernon kids takeover podcast, Mike and Alicia's children gather around the mic to tell the honest, funny, and heartfelt story of their upbringing. From loud dinner tables and sibling fights to deep bonds, meaningful traditions, and moments of feeling unseen, the Hernon siblings share what shaped them—for better and for worse. They talk openly about the challenges of a large family, how sibling relationships filled the gaps when parents were stretched thin, and why intentional traditions mattered more than perfection. Along the way, they relive unforgettable childhood stories (including melted crayons, camping disasters, and a legendary vomiting incident), reflect on personality differences, and offer wisdom for parents raising kids today. This episode is a gift to parents wondering if they're "doing enough"—and a reminder that love multiplies, even when life is messy. Key Takeways: 1. Big Families Are Hard—And That's Not a Bad Thing Most of the siblings admitted they didn't always love growing up in a large family—especially as teenagers. But looking back, they see how it built character, resilience, and lifelong relationships. 2. Parents Won't Always Get It Perfect Several siblings shared moments when they felt overlooked or unseen. Yet the overwhelming takeaway was this: they knew they were loved, even when time and energy were limited. 3. Siblings Matter More Than We Realize In a big family, siblings often become secondary parents, confidants, and companions. Those relationships became one of the greatest gifts of their upbringing. 4. Traditions Shape Identity From Christmas breakfasts and dinner games to family retreats and service visits, traditions created a shared story and sense of belonging that lasted into adulthood. 5. Conflict Isn't Failure—It's Formation Fighting, disagreements, and personality clashes were part of the family culture. Learning forgiveness, conflict resolution, and reconciliation turned those struggles into growth. 6. Intentionality Beats Perfection What stood out most wasn't flawless parenting—but parents who cared, listened, showed interest, and tried to be present whenever possible. Couple Discussion Questions: How do sibling relationships function in your family right now? How might you help strengthen them? How do you currently handle conflict in your home—and what might forgiveness look like more intentionally? What kind of family culture do you hope your children will talk about someday?

In this conversation, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Jamie Lee, a trauma-forged, intuition-led mother who has become a leading voice in the Heavy Metal Detox Mom Movement. Jamie shares her powerful origin story and walks us through her daughter's early developmental delays, the intense pressure to vaccinate, the dismissive responses from pediatricians, and the moment she said "enough" and took healing into her own hands. Together, they unpack how children are programmed by media, pharma marketing, and the medical system, why speech delays, regressions, ADHD, eczema, and "autism" have been normalized but are not normal, Jamie's experience with heavy metal detox, fulvic, zeolite, and gut healing, and much more! If you're a parent questioning the narrative, feeling the intuitive nudge that "something's off," and wanting practical solutions, this episode will both challenge and empower you. Highlights: "These issues have been normalized. They are common, but they are not normal." "No child should ever move backward in speech or development. A regression is not normal, mamas." "I just knew I needed to do something now. I was done with this rigamarole with doctors." "I want a future generation of kids who are unfuckwithable."

Note: This episode originally aired on June 24, 2025. Generation X, those born roughly between 1965 and 1980, has long occupied a unique place in our cultural narrative. These 45-to-60-year-olds are sometimes called the "forgotten" generation— caught between two larger and more-studied generations— Baby Boomers and Millennials. Often described as independent and self-reliant, Gen X has played a pivotal role in bridging two very different worlds: the analog past and the digital present. They came of age during a time of upheaval and transformation, witnessing the end of the Vietnam War, the fallout from the Watergate scandal and the cinematic rise of The Godfather and Star Wars. They grew up with the debut of MTV, the dawn of the internet and the arrival of personal computers and video games in American homes. Many Gen Xers navigated childhood with minimal supervision, earning them the nickname "Latchkey Generation." And nearly a quarter of Gen X adults are sandwiched between raising kids and caregiving older relatives, according to a study from the University of Michigan. Monday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll hear a conversation with former host Jenny Hamel and a panel of Gen-Xers from Northeast Ohio. They'll discuss the issues that matter most to them, from politics and social change to personal milestones like homeownership, aging and financial security. We'll ask how they feel about the lives they've built, what concerns they carry into the future and how they see their place in the world. Guests:- Dan Bruce, Faculty, Cleveland State University- Emilia Lombardi, Ph.D., Former Professor, Baldwin Wallace University- Lora Gay, Federal Employee, Cleveland Field Office- Lee Chilcote, Executive Director and Housing Program Manager, FutureHeights

What does it really look like to live as a professional high-stakes gambler at the very top of the casino food chain? In this episode, Johnny sits down with RJ “Chip” Ryan — a legendary blackjack whale who spent decades betting millions per hand in casinos from Atlantic City to Las Vegas to Macau. RJ tells the raw, unfiltered story of how he went from a broke gambler driving to Atlantic City with his last $5,000, to carrying $10 million in checks, flying private jets, rubbing shoulders with billionaires and celebrities, and taking casinos for millions of dollars at a time. RJ is also known to many as “Robin Hood of Las Vegas” from the Cocaine Cowboys universe — the man who helped launder cartel money through casinos, later cooperating with the feds and offering a very different version of events than what's been told on screen. This episode dives deep into: -The real math and psychology behind winning at high-stakes blackjack -How casinos court, reward, and ultimately try to break whales -Blowing millions in a single night — and coming back the next day to win it all back -Private jets, penthouse suites, celebrity parties, and casino politics The emotional toll of gambling, addiction, loyalty, karma, and survival -RJ's personal reckoning after caring for his mother, losing everything, and betting his life on one final run This is not a glamorized gambling story — it's a brutally honest look at the highs, lows, wins, losses, and moral gray zones of a life lived on the edge. Stick around until the end and decide for yourself: Was RJ a genius, a degenerate, a hustler — or all three? This Episode Is #Sponsored By The Following: Ridge!

In this episode, we sit down with Efrat Fenigson—independent journalist, public speaker, and host of You're the Voice—for a courageous conversation about sovereignty, power, and the systems that shape human behavior. Drawing from her lived experience growing up in Israel, Efrat speaks openly about identity, collective trauma, propaganda, and the psychological cost of questioning state narratives from within. From there, the conversation quickly widens to examine how control operates at a deeper structural level—through money. Efrat breaks down how the modern fiat monetary system erodes human agency and why Bitcoin represents a radically different model rooted in decentralization and personal sovereignty. This is a nuanced, unsanitized dialogue connecting geopolitics, psychology, sound money and a sober yet inspiring look at what it means to reclaim authority over your life in an age of control.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser (00:22) Opening Conversation (04:29) Guest Introduction & Personal Journey (09:02) Growing Up in Israel (16:51) Peace Activism and Political Realizations (21:06) Complexities of Israeli-Palestinian Relations (38:52) Understanding Sovereignty (47:51) Fraudulent Fiat Economic System (55:03) Fractional Reserve Banking Explained (01:01:08) Bitcoin…The Solution to Fiat's Failures (01:18:56) Bitcoin's Origins and Global Impact (01:23:50) El Salvador's Bitcoin AdoptionGuest Linkshttps://linktr.ee/efenigson Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

A “home” tournament that isn't at home.No ref for a girls' gold medal game.A 13-year-old boy watching for three seconds before saying, “They suck.”In this episode, Gender Inequality On Ice With Our Daughters, I talk about what it's like trying to raise two girls in a man's world… while sitting in freezing arenas that quietly remind them they're second. From girls' teams getting leftover ice times and four-hour playoff drives, to boys' hockey treated like the main event, we dig into the quiet ways gender inequality in youth sports shows up long before anyone talks about pay gaps or pro leagues.If you're a woman who's had to work twice as hard to be taken half as seriously…If you're a nurse, medic, frontline worker, partner of a veteran, in or around recovery…If you're a tired, bookish, trauma-literate soul who's so done with bullshit…this conversation is for you.We'll talk about:Girls hockey vs boys hockey and who gets the prime iceThe invisible messages our daughters hear when they're treated as an afterthoughtHow boys learn it's okay to dismiss girls' effort as a jokeWhy “men's sports bring in more money” can't keep being the only answerWhat this does to self-worth, mental health, and identity as they growThis is not an anti-boy rant. It's a dad, a former army medic and paramedic, trying to make sense of what his daughters are being taught about their value—on the ice and far beyond it.
NBA champion Lamar Odom joins the show to reflect on his life story — from growing up in South Jamaica, Queens and becoming a top NBA draft pick, to winning championships with Kobe Bryant on the Lakers, navigating fame, addiction, and the pressures that came with his rise. Lamar opens up about the challenges he faced during the height of his career, his marriage to Khloé Kardashian, the 2015 incident in Nevada that nearly cost him his life, the strokes and medical aftermath he fought through, and how an ibogaine treatment helped him rebuild and reconnect with himself. We discuss childhood trauma, the start of addiction, the intensity of NBA life, loss, recovery, rebuilding relationships, and what he hopes others can take from his journey. This episode highlights Lamar's rise, fall, and comeback — a story of resilience, survival, and growth that continues to inspire people around the world. __________________________________________________________________________ #LamarOdom #NBAStories #LakersNation #KobeBryantEra #AddictionRecovery #RedemptionStory #CelebrityInterview #lockedinpodcast __________________________________________________________________________ Connect with Lamar Odom: https://www.instagram.com/lamarodom/ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop __________________________________________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Lamar Odom on Health, Fame & Surviving Rock Bottom 00:54 Growing Up Without a Father: Childhood, Family & Adversity 03:54 Fatherless Upbringing and the Impact on Identity 05:56 Basketball as an Escape and Early Passion for Sports 08:50 High School Years: Shyness, Loss & NBA Dreams 13:13 College Basketball, Pressure & Early Exposure 17:45 Growing Up in Queens: Friends, Streets & Staying Focused 18:49 NBA Draft Night, LA Clippers & Rookie Year Reality 23:19 Early NBA Money Mistakes & Adjusting to Life in Los Angeles 27:07 Miami to Lakers: Playing Alongside Kobe Bryant 30:01 NBA Championships, Sacrifice & Life Off the Court 32:36 Addiction, Family Tragedy & Coping with Pain 36:16 Marriage to Khloé Kardashian & Reality TV Fame 41:52 The End of the NBA Career & Personal Regrets 44:00 First Use & the Beginning of Addiction 47:00 Rehab, Recovery Attempts & Ibogaine Therapy 50:00 The Vegas Incident, Overdose & Fighting to Survive 56:00 Recovery, Public Scrutiny & Second Chances 01:00:01 Life After Kardashian & Rebuilding After 2015 01:03:43 Lessons Learned, Motivation & Helping Others 01:06:03 Fatherhood, Growth & Lamar Odom's Final Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
According to Chinese Communist official Xi Zhongxun, his first revolutionary act was an attempt to poison one of his school's administrators when he was 14. He was faithful to the revolution, and the Chinese Communist Party, until his death at age 88 in 2002. In between those ages was a remarkable life. He fought Nationalists and Japanese. He was a right-hand man to both Zhou Enlai in the 1950s, and Hu Yaobang in the 1980s. As the Party administrator responsible for dealing with religious groups, he negotiated with the Dalai Lama–and would show off the wristwatch that the Dalai Lama gave him. But Xi also spent sixteen years in house arrest, internal exile, under suspicion, or at least out of power, from 1962 to 1978. “In the early 1990s, Xi even boasted to a Western historian that although Deng Xiaoping had suffered at the hands of the party on three occasions, he had been persecuted five times.” All this would make Xi Zhongxun fascinating simply as a psychological study of a Communist functionary who, despite everything, remained devoted to the system that oppressed him. But Xi Zhongxun was also the father of Xi Jinping, now effectively the dictator of China. If we are to understand the younger Xi, argues my guest Joseph Torigian, then we must understand his father.Joseph Torigian is an associate professor in the School of International Service at American University in Washington, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and a center associate of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. He was previously on the podcast to discuss his book Prestige, Manipulation, and Coercion: Elite Power Struggles in the Soviet Union and China after Stalin and Mao, a conversation that was published on May 23, 2022. His latest book is The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping was released with Stanford University Press in June 2025. It was a Financial Times Book of the Summer and an Economist Best Book of the Year So Far.00:00 — Introduction02:19 — Overview of Xi Zhongxun's Life07:15 — Early Life and Revolutionary Beginnings11:44 — Growing Up as a Peasant in Shaanxi15:02 — Path to the Communist Base Areas19:21 — The United Front Work24:10 — Work with Ethnic Minorities26:00 — The 1935 Arrest by Fellow Communists27:56 — Patronage and Party Relationships30:51 — The Northwest Bureau and China's Territorial Expansion33:43 — Personal Life and Family36:37 — The 1962 Purge41:50 — Sixteen Years of Persecution44:37 — Why Bring Him Back?46:53 — Deng Xiaoping's Distrust50:55 — Grudges and Party History52:33 — Xi Jinping and His Father's Legacy59:17 — Conclusion

What if your most formative identity traits come from people you didn’t grow up with? In this powerful episode of Identified, rapper and queer icon Cakes Da Killa reflects on growing up in Teaneck, New Jersey, raised by his teenage mother and grandmother. He shares openly about the complexities of reconciling with an absent father, discovering inherited traits in unexpected family members, and why — as a queer person — chosen family has always played a central role in his life. This episode touches on: Intergenerational strength from women in his family The slow repair of fractured paternal relationships The trauma of losing family homes and generational wealth The nuance of chosen vs. biological family And why his mother’s strength remains his biggest inspiration With clarity, wit, and raw honesty, Cakes shows that family — like identity — is something you get to define on your own terms.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To snowy Ontario, Canada for our 2026 Christmas Special! Living out the dream of countless exhausted women, Laura Lee Davidson retreated to an island in the middle of a lake, and lived there alone through a long Canadian winter. But she wasn't really alone. Wild creatures became her friends, and she was constantly the recipient of neighborly kindness from folks on the mainland. Laura Lee's 1922 book about her winter on the island is now considered a classic of Canadian literature, and a vivid portrait of time gone by. Katie reads some of her favorite excerpts from the book, and we all tag along with Laura Lee Davidson, retreating into a remote winter solitude, and marveling at the wonders of nature. ___________________________________ Find Laura Lee Davidson's A Winter of Content HERE, or read a digital copy HERE.

Fu Banger sits down to breakdown his involvement with the Nine Trey Gangsters, surviving Rikers, and navigating the federal system after the 6ix9ine RICO case exploded. He details what really happened inside Manhattan Correctional Center's SHU the night Jeffrey Epstein died — what he saw, what inmates were saying, and why the entire unit felt off. Fu also explains why he believes 6ix9ine staged his recent “home invasion robbery,” and gives his honest reaction to Diddy's viral prison photos and the trouble they may bring. He opens up about his time at a federal low-security prison, including how the yard handled high-risk inmates, predators, and those with serious charges, and what daily life at a low really looks like. #FuBanger #NineTrey #RICOCase #6ix9ine #Epstein #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #lockedinwithianbick Thanks to AURA FRAMES, BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

In this profound conversation, Dr. Daniel Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine, founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center, and bestselling author—shares groundbreaking insights on parenting, brain development, and human flourishing.Dr. Daniel Siegel is one of the world's leading experts on interpersonal neurobiology and author of influential books including "The Developing Mind," "Parenting from the Inside Out," "The Whole-Brain Child," and "Mindsight." His work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice.THE CORE PRINCIPLE: INTEGRATIONDaniel Siegel introduces the foundational concept governing well-being across all scales—from neurons to nations.Integration means honoring differences (differentiation) while creating connections (linkage). When integration is blocked, we experience chaos, rigidity, or both. The revolutionary equation: integrative relationships create integrated brains, which generate resilient minds, meaningful relationships, and flourishing lives.TEMPERAMENT VS. PERSONALITY: THE NEUROSCIENCEDr. Siegel reveals cutting-edge research on how temperament—rooted in brain stem connectivity formed in the womb—differs from personality. Temperament is inborn (not necessarily genetic) and characterised by sensitivity and intensity across three core motivational drives: Agency (embodied empowerment), Bonding (relational connection), and Certainty (predictability and safety). Personality develops as we adapt our temperament through experience, particularly attachment relationships.THE BEST PREDICTOR OF CHILD OUTCOMESThe most powerful finding in attachment research: how parents make sense of their own life history predicts their child's development better than what actually happened to them. PRACTICAL PARENTING WISDOMLearn the "4 S's" framework—how children need to be Seen, Soothed, Safe, and Secure. Discover why humans evolved for "alloparenting" with multiple caregivers. Understand the COAL state of mind (Curious, Open, Accepting, Loving) when navigating challenging behaviors.NINE DOMAINS OF INTEGRATIONDr. Siegel explains practical applications: Left-Right Integration (your infant's right-hemisphere communication), Vertical Integration (accessing body wisdom), Memory Integration (transforming implicit memories), and Consciousness Integration (the "Wheel of Awareness" practice).THE MWE IDENTITYDaniel Siegel offers hope: we can raise the next generation with expanded identity—not just "me" but "MWE" (me + we), recognizing we're part of interconnected systems. This shift could transform humanity's trajectory toward collaboration and thriving.Other References: "Mothers and Others" by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Roger Sperry's Nobel Prize work (1981), Carol Dweck's research, Ed Tronick's "Still Face Experiment," Jaak Panksepp's affective neuroscience, Mary Helen Immordino-Yang's research(00:00) Introduction (02:59) What is Integration?

When The Mama's Den podcast first began, two of our 9 children hadn't even been born yet. Fast-forward to today, and those two babies are now 4 years old, three of them are 7, three are 9, and one is 16 — and the emotional weight of that growth is hitting us in real time.This week, we open up about what it feels like to watch our children grow up right before our eyes. From the excitement (and fear) of driver's licenses to overnight trips and realizing that some of our kids are no longer “little,” we talk honestly about the joy, nerves, pride, and anxiety that come with each new milestone.We reflect on how motherhood evolves as our kids become more independent — and how their growth forces us to confront our own: learning to let go, redefining our roles, and holding space for nostalgia while celebrating who our children are becoming. This conversation is for every parent navigating the bittersweet reality of raising kids who don't stay kids forever.Whether your child is a toddler, a tween, or on the brink of adulthood, this episode will make you feel seen — and remind you that you're not alone in this season.Follow The Mama's Den on Instagram at www.instagram.com/themamasdenpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Some people meet the paranormal by accident. Lance Anderson met it at home. Long before he ever stepped foot in a morgue, Lance's childhood was shaped by the quiet—yet unmistakable—presence of visitors no one else could see. Footsteps that knew the hallways too well. Doors that seemed to remember when to open. Sounds that belonged to someone who shouldn't have been there at all. Those early experiences didn't scare Lance away from the unknown—they prepared him for a career spent alongside it. Working in a morgue isn't for everyone, but for someone raised with an awareness of the other side, it felt strangely natural. Still, even he learned quickly that spirits don't always respect working hours… or silence. And sometimes, humor becomes the only way to bridge a world the living and the dead share. Lance reflects on a lifetime of haunted moments, unexplained encounters, and a vocation where the line between the natural and the supernatural blurs nightly. What does it take to coexist with those who haven't fully moved on? And how do you handle a spirit who refuses to rest? #morguestories #ghoststories #paranormalencounters #trueghoststories #hauntedchildhood #supernatural #workingwiththedead #spirits Love real ghost stories?
