In this episode I got to talk with author and death doula Jule Wright Halbert. Formerly a lawyer and national education attorney, after the death of her husband Jim she found that she needed to shift her focus and began a new chapter with a different meaning and purpose. We talk about her book, "Divine Ashes Descending," a memoir about her own experiences as a newly bereaved widow and her journey of discovering an alternative career. As an advocate for end-of-life care and hospice models, she speaks openly about the different ways we all deal with the pressure of how to say goodbye.

When a dry-goods robbery in a river town leaves one clerk shot dead and two thieves drowned, a down-at-heel Ravenmill private eye is called in to put a name to the lone survivor — a soft-spoken scholar who keeps walking out of cages no man should be able to open.EPISODE PAGE (includes list of sources): https://weirddarkness.com/noir-mancagescouldntholdTHE REAL CASE BEHIND THIS STORY: This episode is inspired by the case of Edward H. Rulloff (1819–1871), a Canadian-born polymath who lived as both a respected scholar and a career criminal. A doctor, lawyer, schoolmaster, photographer, inventor, and self-taught philologist, Rulloff devoted his life to a language manuscript he believed would revolutionize the field — work he financed through theft and largely wrote in prison cells. In 1844 his wife, Harriet Schutt, and their infant daughter, Priscilla, vanished from Lansing, New York. No bodies were ever found despite repeated dragging of Cayuga Lake, and Rulloff was convicted of abduction rather than murder, serving ten years in Auburn Prison. A later murder conviction was overturned on appeal, and he was ultimately freed. He moved to New York City, where he and his associates Albert Jarvis and Billy Dexter robbed stores, specializing in hard-to-trace sewing silk. On August 17, 1870, the three men broke into Halbert's dry goods store in Binghamton, New York. A clerk and night watchman, Fred Merrick, was shot dead during the struggle. Jarvis and Dexter drowned in the Chenango River while fleeing; Rulloff was captured after giving false names and hiding in a farm outhouse. He was recognized as the long-suspected Lansing killer, tried for Merrick's murder, and convicted of first-degree murder. His case drew national debate — Horace Greeley argued his intellect was too valuable to waste, while Mark Twain mocked the sentiment in a satirical letter to the Tribune. Rulloff was hanged on May 18, 1871. Before his execution he confessed to killing his wife with a medicine pestle but never admitted to harming his daughter, who some believed survived and was raised by his brother. His body was displayed, a death mask was made, and his head was kept for study; his brain remains part of the Wilder Brain Collection at Cornell University to this day.WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

In this episode, Julie Wright Halbert speaks about the power of Presence; how we honor our loved ones by continuing to live; and how we move from the deep pain of grief to joy-- the bridge between grief and happiness (spoiler alert: it's Love). Julie is a death doula, end-of-life educator and leading national voice for grief literacy. Her work is grounded in decades of public service and shaped by the sudden loss of her husband. After his death, her work shifted from institutional advocacy to accompanying individuals and families through end-of-life transitions and early grief. Formerly a legislative counsel and national education attorney, she brings systems-level insight to the deeply human experiences of dying, bridging ethics, presence, and practical guidance around living, dying, death, and bereavement to hospice systems. She speaks and writes on death literacy, ethical presence, identity after loss, and what it means to live and die awake, consciously choosing intention and meaning in each moment. Julie is also the founder of 'Rising Phoenix LIFE' and author of the forthcoming book Divine Ashes Ascending. She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, NPR, Education Week, and The 74.

Natalie Tealdi from The Best Podcast Guest team welcomes death doula, end-of-life educator, transformational soul coach, author and national advocate for grief literacy, Julie Wright Halbert to the podcast.They talk about:The role of a death doulaWhat it means to live and die awakeWhat grieving people truly need from othersAbout Julie Wright HalbertJulie Wright Halbert, Esq. is a death doula, end-of-life educator, transformational soul coach, author and national advocate for grief literacy whose work bridges legal rigor, lived experience, and soul-centered presence.A former Legislative Counsel for the Council of the Great City Schools, Julie spent decades shaping education policy and advancing civil rights, earning multiple honors including the Education Law Association's Best Brief Award for impactful work before the U.S. Supreme Court.Julie's professional path pivoted following the sudden death of her husband, an experience that transformed her relationship to grief, identity, and meaning. What emerged was a calling to accompany individuals and families through the complex terrain of dying, death, and bereavement work that emphasizes presence over fixing, honesty over platitudes, and dignity at every stage of life.Today, Julie speaks and writes about death literacy, widowhood, emotional integration, and the cultural consequences of avoiding mortality. Her work invites individuals, professionals, and institutions to engage death not as a failure, but as a profound human threshold that shapes how we live, love, and lead.Julie is the founder of Rising Phoenix LIFE, where she integrates end-of-life education, grief support, and advocacy to support people navigating life's most significant transitions. She is the author of the forthcoming book Divine Ashes Ascending, which explores grief, presence, and the possibility of meaning after profound loss.Julie's work has been featured in: The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, NPR, Education Week, and The 74.She lives a life grounded in nature and connection, finding restoration through water activities, hiking, snow skiing, and time with her two sons and life partner.Key TakeawaysLoss reshapes our identity and the way we move through the world. While grief never truly disappears, we can learn to carry it with meaning and compassion. Living 'awake' means being fully present in each moment, approaching life with intention, gratitude, and connection. Grieving can feel isolating, but healing often begins when we allow others to support us and accept help from our community. Many cultures avoid conversations about death, yet openness around the end of life can help reduce fear and create more meaningful experiences for individuals and families. Death doulas support people emotionally, spiritually, and practically at the end of life, helping individuals plan how they wish to experience their final stage of life.QuoteGrief doesn't just end. It's something that we carry and we learn to move into presence.Connect with Julie Wright HalbertWebsite: www.RisingPhoenix.lifeInstagram: instagram.com/transformational_soul_coachingLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julie-wright-halbertJulie's free gift to you is a meditation which is designed to support growth, clarity, and emotional alignment.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Dr. Paul Hall, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Pastor Ron Greer Guest, Will Hobbs, The Faithfulness of God Friends, Join us this evening for an uplifting discussion with our dear friend, Pastor Will Hobbs, on 'Raising Expectations!' as he shares inspiring insights on 'The Faithfulness of God.' Amidst unfolding events in our nation and worldwide, let's stand firm in faith, trusting in God's unwavering presence, power, and faithfulness that shape our lives. His plans unfold with purpose, bringing glory to Him, guidance to us, and proof of His love. His presence will be felt, and encouragement will bring His peace that surpasses our understanding. John 14:27! Pastor Will and our ‘Raising Expectations' team invite you to pray ahead, hear the facts, and ask God what your part is to be in His plans for your life and nation! This episode of Raising Expectations features a profound dialogue on the nature of divine faithfulness, exploring its manifestation through historical trials, global revivals, and personal resiliency. Host Joe Schofield and guest Pastor Will Hobbs, alongside a panel of co-hosts, examine how God's consistent character provides a foundation for hope in a turbulent world. The Nature and Definition of Faithfulness The discussion defines God's faithfulness not as a static concept, but as an active, consistent demonstration of His character and loyalty to His Word. Participants emphasize that while human circumstances are volatile—likened to withering grass and fading flowers—the Word of God remains an immutable anchor. Faith is described as a "verb" that requires demonstration, such as the repentance shown by the thief on the cross, which invites grace and mercy. This divine consistency ensures that God always delivers on His promises, whether they are unconditional expressions of love or conditional covenants requiring human obedience. Historical and Global Evidence of Divine Providence The panel shares extraordinary accounts of providence, notably the story of Edward Halbert, a WWII POW. After being aided by a Nazi guard who provided a knife for an emergency medical procedure in a camp, Halbert miraculously reunited with the same man—who had become a chiropractor in Houston—decades later. Furthermore, the discussion highlights a massive spiritual revival currently occurring in Iran. Despite severe persecution and Sharia law, an underground church movement, bolstered by Chinese believers, has reportedly seen millions of converts in recent years, demonstrating that spiritual growth often flourishes in the most restrictive environments. Resiliency and the Power of Testimony Drawing parallels to Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, the speakers discuss the "resiliency of humanity" as a reflection of being made in God's image. They argue that personal testimonies of overcoming hardship are the most effective tools for ministry, as they provide tangible proof of God's presence to a "hurting and dying world." The act of worship is also recontextualized as a "fight position"—a spiritual strategy where glorifying God precedes the battle, as seen in the biblical accounts of Joshua and Exodus. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder that God's faithfulness is multi-generational and transcends global crises. By recognizing the consistency of His character and the power of personal testimony, believers are encouraged to act as "salt and light," offering a message of hope and reconciliation to those navigating the complexities of modern life.

The government has announced that Te Pūkenga is set to return to ‘regional governance,' re-establishing 10 polytechnics that were merged under the previous Labour-led government. In 2020 under the previous Labour-led government, 16 polytechnics and nine industry training organisations were merged into the mega-institute Te Pūkenga, as a “head office”. Despite this, the polytechnics were allowed to maintain their unique images and continue operating. Vocational Education Minister, Penny Simmonds, announced the move, to establish a vocational education system that is “locally led, regionally responsible, and future-focused”. The move has faced backlash. The Tertiary Education Union's national secretary, Sandra Grey, says the move would be a disaster for regional education and that the sector is being treated as a “political football”. For our weekly catchup with the Labour Party, News and Editorial Director Joel spoke with MP Shanon Halbert, about this move from the government. They also discussed Te Pāti Māori members expressing concerns over Labour's choice of running MP Peeni Henare in the upcoming Tāmaki Makaurau by-election. Te Pāti Māori media liaison, Kiri Tamihere-Waititi, says a vote for Henare would be “wasted,” as Henare already has a seat in Parliament. She has called for people to vote for Te Pāti Māori's candidate, Oriini Kaipara, so that there would be two Tāmaki Makaurau-based Māori MPs in Parliament. But first, they discussed vocational education.

As the U.S. looks ahead to Donald Trump once again taking office in January, the real estate and housing industry is watching closely. Given Trump's previous term and recent rhetoric on the campaign trail, when the president-elect returns to the White House on January 20, the property market landscape could shift dramatically.A Trump administration has historically leaned toward deregulation, favoring less federal oversight. This could mean a rollback of initiatives championed by the previous Biden administration and could spell major changes for property professionals, particularly in areas like climate policy, housing affordability, and regulatory reform.From regulatory rollbacks to bipartisan debates over zoning, host Maiclaire Bolton Smith and Chay Halbert, a principal public policy and industry relations at CoreLogic, discuss the likely rollback of Biden-era climate initiatives, shifts in regulatory scrutiny, and the potential changes surrounding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac oversight. Halbert also sheds light on potential flood risk management alterations and how these moves could reshape lending and affordability across the country.Tune in to this episode of Core Conversations hear a comprehensive breakdown of the policy changes that property professionals should watch for as they prepare for what lies ahead.In This Episode2:24 – What types of housing policies do we expect Donald Trump to favor?3:50 – Are there any specific changes we can expect around climate policy?4:58 – Will there be any changes to Biden-era policies?8:34 – How will the new administration influence interest rates?10:32 – Affordability is complex, but will the rules around institutional and foreign investment change to help with this?11:52 – Will there be any international ramifications from these possible policy changes?13:43 – Erika Stanley does the numbers in the housing market in The Sip.14:57 – How could federal policy changes affect local jurisdictions?19:40 – Erika Stanley reviews natural catastrophes and extreme weather events across the world.20:58 – What should property professionals pay attention to in the months leading up to an administration change?Up Next: How to Solve the US Affordable Housing CrisisLinks: Hazard HQ Command CentralRead CoreLogic Intelligence Find full episodes with all our guests in our podcast archive here: https://clgx.co/3HFslXD4 Copyright 2024 CoreLogic Hazard HQ Command CentralRead CoreLogic Intelligence
