Podcasts about Heike

Geißler überschreibt Kleist. Ein Immobilienhai kapert eine Kneipe. Michaela Kohlhaas übt den zivilen Ungehorsam – und muss die Konsequenzen tragen.

Hallo und herzlich willkommen zur neuesten Folge unseres Podcasts. Diesmal hat sich Christoph mit Heike Rasche von der Landwirtschaftskammer NRW zusammengesetzt und über ein Projekt gesprochen, das in Zukunft für ordentlich Bewegung in Sachen Weiterbildung sorgen könnte: MentoGaLand. Klingt erstmal wie ein Zauberspruch oder ein neues Pflanzenschutzmittel – ist aber ein spannendes Mentoring-Programm für den Gartenbau und die Landwirtschaft. Gemeinsam sprechen die beiden darüber, warum Wissenstransfer in unseren Betrieben immer wichtiger wird, wie Mentoren Mitarbeitende unterstützen können und weshalb Weiterbildung eben nicht nur aus trockenen Seminaren besteht. Außerdem geht's um Fachkräftemangel, neue Chancen für kleine und mittlere Betriebe, persönliche Entwicklung und warum manchmal genau der „Erwin mit dem Rosenwissen“ Gold wert ist. Natürlich bleibt dabei auch genug Raum für lockere Gespräche, einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Landwirtschaftskammer und die ein oder andere humorvolle Spitze von Vorni. Prost auf gute Gespräche, neue Ideen und darauf, dass Lernen niemals aufhört. Und jetzt viel Spaß beim Zuhören. Wünschen euch Markus und Christoph.

Midlife gets labeled as “the beginning of the end,” but that story falls apart the moment you meet women who are building businesses at 80, traveling solo, starting podcasts, or simply reclaiming their strength after a hard season. I sit down with Heike Yates, midlife fitness expert, Pilates teacher, and author of Pursue Your Spark, to talk about why midlife is better understood as an upward turning point and how women can rebuild energy and confidence without extremes, shame, or the exhausting pressure to “start over.”We dig into the mindset shift that changes everything: the idea that you must “let go of the old you” to become “the new you.” Heike pushes back, and I love her take because it honors every chapter you've lived. We talk about identity, roles, and what it means to integrate your experiences instead of discarding them. Her onion metaphor lands hard: peeling back layers can bring tears and grief, but it also reveals what's true underneath and what you want next.Heike shares the real story behind her book, including a caregiver client who finally returns from a break saying, “I feel like myself again,” not as a throwback to youth, but as a return to her power right now. From there, we walk through Heike's SPARK framework (Scan, Plan, Take Action, Overcome Roadblocks, Keep Momentum) and why it works for midlife health goals, menopause seasons, career changes, and any moment where you feel stuck. We close with practical guidance on exercise consistency when you're already exhausted: clear your plate, protect your energy, and let movement support healing instead of becoming another demand.If you know a woman who needs a gentler path to midlife fitness and real momentum we invite you to share this conversation.Connect with Heike - websiteRead Pursue Your Spark hereLet me know what you'd like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI'm Carol Clegg, your host, an accountability coach and curious conversationalist inviting guests from a wide range of backgrounds to share insights on how they live, think, and navigate change.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you'd like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle  a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

Heinrich von Kleists Novelle "Michael Kohlhaas" ist weltbekannt und beruht auf einer wahren Begebenheit. Ein brandenburgischer Pferdehändler führt einen aberwitzigen Rachefeldzug, weil ihn ein Junker um zwei Rösser betrogen hat. Sein Rechtsgefühl macht ihn zum Räuber und Mörder. Die Geschichte aus dem 16. Jahrhundert wurde mehrfach verfilmt, vertont und bearbeitet. Und jetzt holt die allein im letzten Jahr mit drei großen Literaturpreisen ausgezeichnete sächsische Autorin Heike Geißler den Kohlhaas in unsere Gegenwart – und macht ihn zu einer Frau: zu "Michaela Kohlhaas", so heißt das Buch, das heute erscheint. Corinne Orlowski hat es gelesen.

Heike Geißler, Bayerische Buchpreis-Trägerin, Spezialistin für Verzweiflungen, greift Kleists Novelle Michael Kohlhaas auf, über große Ungerechtigkeit und grenzenlose Rache - ein Gespräch mit der Autorin über den Roman "Michaela Kohlhaas" (Suhrkamp)

Heike Geißler erzählt sonst mit Witz und Schwermut von täglichen Überforderungen. In ihrem neuen Roman geht sie einen Schritt weiter.

Eine Frau beschließt in den Widerstand gegen das zu gehen, was ihr am Leben unzumutbar erscheint. Das Widerspenstige trägt sie schon im Namen: "Michaela Kohlhaas" - Mit Heike Geißler sprechen die Literaturagenten über ihren neuen Roman, in dem die Leipziger Schriftstellerin Heinrich von Kleists Novelle "Michael Kohlhaas" aus dem Jahr 1808 überschreibt. Außerdem erforschen sie mit George Perec das "Untergewöhnliche" und machen sich mit Karl Ove Knausgård auf nach "Arendal".

Heike Geißler holt Kleists rachsüchtigen Rosshändler Michael Kohlhaas aus dem 16. Jahrhundert in die Gegenwart und macht ihn zur aufbäumenden Friedhofsverwalterin Michalea.

Longevity – Buzzword oder wirklich möglich? PD Dr. Stephan ist top ausgebildet in dem, was guttut (promoviert in Medizin) und dem was schadet (habilitiert in Toxikologie) – und mit seinem riesigen Wissen durch viel berufliche wie private Expertise perfekt, um diese Frage zu beantworten. Im aktuellen Schnack und Snack im Podcast gibt Stephan viele Antworten auf die Fragen, wie das lange, gute Leben gelingen kann, warum er bei Longevity zwischen Gesundheits- und Lebensspanne unterscheidet und warum die Hallmarks of Aging, also die Kennzeichen des Alterns, in den Mitochondrien zu finden sind. Als Vorgeschmack auf sein Buch (unten mehr) beschreibt Stephan schon jetzt, warum für ihn der echte Longevity-Wirkstoff mit seinen diversen Effekten auf biologische Zielgrößen „Lebensstil“ heißt und wie seine Oma ihm schon als Junge Wegweisendes mitgeteilt hat. „Gesundheit ist kein Zufall!“ postuliert Stephan daher voller Überzeugung. Und so liegt die Frage nahe, ob er sich so – wenn Gesundheit eben kein Zufall ist – auch den Boom der Nahrungsergänzungsmittel erklären kann? Ist es vielleicht einfach der große Wunsch nach Kontrolle, wenn's um die eigene Gesundheit geht? Als öffentlich bestellten und vereidigten Sachverständigen für die Risikobewertung von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln hat Heike einen exzellenten Gesprächspartner zu Gast, der Klarheit in den wilden Westen im Web bringt. Es werden jede Menge Kapseln, Pillen oder auch Dienstleistungen und Reisen angeboten, die in Frage gestellt werden dürfen. Insbesondere, wenn Meinungen über evidenzbasierte Aussagen dominieren. Spannend wird's, wenn Stephan die Unterschiede zwischen Lebensmitteln, Nahrungsergänzungsmittel und Arzneimitteln aufzeigt und warum die lange On-Hold-List der EU ein echtes Problem ist. Stephan, Experte „from soil to cell“, gibt klare Life-Hacks für den Kauf von Produkten (Spoiler: It's easy!), die du direkt anwenden kannst. Viel Freude beim Reinhören! Und wenn du noch mehr Tipps für deine bestmögliche Longevity haben möchtest, wirf mal einen Blick in Stephans aktuelles Buch „Die heimlichen Heldinnen des Stoffwechsels. Superpower Mitochondrien“ (Styria-Verlag, Veröffentlichung am 01.06.2026).

Your brand photos might be the most vulnerable thing you'll ever do for your business. And that's exactly the point.Most women entrepreneurs are walking around with headshots that no longer reflect who they are but images that show who they were three pivots ago. But your photos aren't just marketing assets. They're a signal to the world about who you're becoming, and they have the power to accelerate opportunities before you even open your mouth.In this episode of Embrace the Squiggle, Colleen and Ashleigh sit down with Heike Delmore, personal branding photographer and educator, who helps women entrepreneurs translate their evolving identity into images that actually reflect where they're headed. With a background in international advertising (MasterCard, GM) and a deep study of human behavior and psychology, Heike brings a uniquely intentional approach to the camera.Heike Delmore is the founder of Delmore Personal Brand Photography.

Da sitzen zwei kleine Gestalten auf Kasimirs Bettkante und streiten, wer heute die Träume verteilen darf: Herr Alb oder Frau Wunsch? Warum wird in Grimmelshausen ununterbrochen gegähnt? Was passiert, wenn Onkel Carl abends zum Babysitten kommt? Und was hat es mit der Schnarchdose auf sich? Zum Glück ist eines sicher: Am Ende können alle wunderbar einschlafen.

If the workouts and routines that used to work for you now leave you feeling tired, discouraged, or stuck, you are not alone. In this episode, midlife fitness expert Heike Yates shares 7 realistic ways women can rebuild strength and energy after menopause without guilt, extremes, or feeling like they have to start over. This is an encouraging conversation about listening to your body, adjusting with wisdom, and finding a more supportive path forward in midlife. Many women reach midlife and start to notice that the habits that used to work for their body just do not seem to work the same way anymore. The routines, workouts, and expectations that once felt manageable can suddenly feel draining, frustrating, or completely out of sync with what the body needs. In this episode, I'm joined by Heike Yates, midlife fitness expert, author, and creator of the SPARK Framework, for a thoughtful conversation about what really changes during menopause and how women can rebuild strength and energy in a way that feels more realistic, supportive, and sustainable. Heike shares from both professional and personal experience. With decades in fitness, from teaching classes to bodybuilding, running ultramarathons, and competing in triathlons, she also knows what it feels like when the body begins asking for a different approach. We talk about how hormone changes can affect fatigue, injury risk, confidence, recovery, and motivation — and why midlife often calls for more support, not more self-pressure. A big theme in this conversation is that women do not need to start over. Instead, they can build on what they already know, make small shifts that fit real life, and create momentum in ways that feel kinder and more effective. In this episode, we discuss: How menopause changes the way women respond to exercise and recovery Why pushing harder is not always the answer in midlife How to tell the difference between discipline and the need for more support Small, practical ways to fit movement into everyday life Why joy matters more than willpower when it comes to consistency How to adapt when injuries, arthritis, or limitations change what is possible Why rebuilding in midlife is about moving forward, not starting from scratch About Heike Yates Heike Yates is a midlife fitness expert, author, and creator of the SPARK Framework. She helps midlife women rebuild strength, energy, and confidence without guilt, extremes, or starting over. With more than 35 years of experience in fitness, nutrition, and mindset coaching, her approach is compassionate, practical, and designed for real life. She is also the host of the Pursue Your Spark Podcast and author of Pursue Your Spark. Resources from Heike Heike offers a Midlife Reset Guide on her website to help women rebuild strength and restore energy.

Die letzten Wochen waren bei hy vor allem eines: Management Buyout (MBO). Zwölf Monate Verhandlung, unzählige Fragen von Kunden, Partnern und dem Netzwerk, und jetzt, wo der Staub sich legt, nehmen sich Sebastian Herzog und Dr. Sebastian Voigt endlich die Zeit, den ganzen Prozess einmal offen zu erzählen. Diese Folge erscheint als Sonderfolge bei Pricing Friends und gleichzeitig bei unseren Kolleginnen von Return on Innovation. Und weil Sebastian Voigt bei Pricing Friends normalerweise selbst moderiert, dreht sich heute der Spieß um: Er sitzt gemeinsam mit Sebastian Herzog auf der anderen Seite des Mikros, bei Heike Löffler von Return on Innovation. Im Gespräch nehmen die beiden Geschäftsführer die Hörerinnen und Hörer mit durch zwölf Monate Verhandlung, erklären wie die Loslösung vom bisherigen Mehrheitseigentümer Axel Springer strategisch und operativ ablief, welche Rolle ein professioneller M&A-Partner dabei spielte und wo es wirklich heikel wurde. An konkreten Beispielen wie neuen Joint-Venture-Modellen und erfolgsbasierter Vergütung wird deutlich, was "Skin in the Game" für hy in der Praxis bedeutet. Und sie machen klar, warum dieser MBO für sie kein Exit ist, sondern ein Entry in eine neue Wachstumsphase, in der Internationalisierung, Verdopplung der Unternehmensgröße und der Erhalt der Firmenkultur gleichzeitig auf dem Spiel stehen. Über die Gäste Sebastian Herzog und Dr. Sebastian Voigt sind Geschäftsführer der Unternehmensberatung hy Consulting Group GmbH. Sebastian Herzog verantwortet, unter anderem mit Erfahrung aus der Lufthansa-Transformation, das Feld Strategie und Innovation, während der ehemalige Springer-Manager Sebastian Voigt den Bereich Pricing und Commercial Excellence leitet.

Ambassadors unite to defend Ukraine & keep Europe's attention from drifting. How an Advocacy Coalition is turning solidarity into sustained action. In the studio this week: six female ambassadors plus a Ukrainian representative. Between them, decades of global diplomatic experience. We discuss how to keep a continent's consciousness alive when the news cycle is relentless and fatigue sets in. My guests: Ambassador Barbara Karpetová - Czech Republic Ambassador Carin Lobbezoo - Netherlands Ambassador Jean McDonald - Ireland Ambassador Nieves Blanco - Spain Ambassador Heike Peitsch - Germany Ambassador Joanne Oliver - UK Inna Yaremenko - Representative of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg/Vice President at LUkraine These ladies have frontline diplomatic experience spanning Russia, Kosovo, the Balkans, the Middle East, and beyond. Several have lived in Russia, speak Russian and studied Russian history. Heike met Vladimir Putin; Barbara was in Washington D.C. on the day Crimea was invaded; Carin was studying Soviet history when the wall came down. "When a diplomat stops talking, you end up in a war. The talking needs to restart — and the circumstances for that have to be right." AMBASSADOR CARIN LOBBEZOO — NETHERLANDS The creation of the ‘Advocacy Coalition' was borne out of a desire to keep the support for Ukraine from eroding quietly in the background while other crises clamour for attention. Ambassador Joanne Oliver of the UK underlined the strength of a coalition in that one embassy putting is not putting its head above the parapet, but shows a unified front which is harder to ignore and harder to exhaust. "Ukraine is on the front line of Europe. We have to do it together.” The Advocacy Coalition - Defending Our Future Now launched in early 2026 by LUkraine asbl together with ten partner embassies and the support of the European Commission. It is a year-long programme of monthly public events, a digital advocacy platform of personal testimonies, and a photo exhibition: "How to Destroy a Country" co-hosted by the Czech Embassy. The founding embassies are Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, and the United Kingdom. Spain has since joined and the coalition is open both in Luxembourg and the idea is open to be replicated across more countries. "Each of us can do something. In Ukraine we say: if you do nothing, evil will prevail. This project is solidarity in action not just in slogans" INNA YAREMENKO — VICE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE, LUXEMBOURG The path to peace is long and hard. Ambassador Peitsch, who served as Consul General in St. Petersburg and headed the German Embassy's Economic and Scientific Affairs Department in Moscow, described the slow architecture of mediation: how a trusted broker must talk to each side separately first, map the areas of potential compromise, set aside the intractable issues, and build a minimum of trust before parties can even share a room. Ambassador Lobbezoo, who studied Russian history at Leiden and Russian & Soviet Studies in London when the Berlin Wall still stood (then fell during her second masters), offered the historian's caveat: history doesn't repeat itself exactly, but long lines of behaviour do, and and many of those lines in Russia's current conduct trace back to patterns she began reading about in the 1980s. Ambassador Jean McDonald from Ireland spoke movingly about cultural diplomacy as public diplomacy: the harp on the Irish euro coin, the way a poem by Moya Cannon can open a space for dialogue that policy briefings cannot. Ambassador Karpetová, who grew up in Czechoslovakia during Soviet occupation and watched her country's invasion repeat its patterns in Ukraine, described how she asked herself what Pierre Werner, the Luxembourgish statesman whose family villa houses the Czech Embassy, would have done. The answer was action: look around, count the resources, multiply strength through communication. "Female diplomats tend to focus on getting things done. After 38 years in the German foreign service, that is my consistent experience." AMBASSADOR HEIKE PEITSCH — GERMANY The question of women in diplomacy ran through the conversation. All six ambassadors agreed, carefully, and without reducing it to a binary, that women's presence at peace tables is structural: as Jean McDonald noted, women are 50% of the population, and any peace settlement that excludes them is unlikely to be sustainable. Ambassador Lobbezoo watched women with excellent ideas locked out of the Kosovo-Serbia negotiations despite being ready and willing. Inna Yaremenko noted that there are currently no women at all in the Ukraine-Russia peace negotiation process, a gap flagged publicly by the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk, keynote speaker at the Coalition's opening event. The show ended with a clear call to listeners: exercise your consciousness like a muscle. Be curious. Seek to understand. And do not flinch. "Women need to be at the table, need to be part of the discussions, and need to be part of the solutions. That is a really fundamental point." AMBASSADOR JEAN MCDONALD — IRELAND Advocacy Coalition — Defending Our Future Now A year-long initiative by LUkraine asbl and partner embassies in Luxembourg, supported by the European Commission, featuring monthly public events, a live digital advocacy platform, and the "How to Destroy a Country" photo exhibition.

Most photographers think the challenge is their pricing… or selling. But after this conversation with Heike Delmore, it's clear that's not where the real shift happens. Heike is taking clients who ask for “just a headshot”… and turning those enquiries into $5,000 sales — not by pushing harder, but by helping them see what those images are actually for. Because when a client understands how their photos will be used across their business, they stop thinking in terms of “one image”… and start thinking in terms of everything they need. That shift alone changes the entire sale.

Sustainability pressures in banking are intensifying — even as ESG faces global pushback. In this episode, Heike Schmitz sits down with Ed Woolcock, Co‑Head of Energy Transition and Sustainability at Marsh Risk Consulting, to unpack why ESG‑related challenges continue to escalate across the banking sector. Drawing on insights from the Global Bank Review 2025, they explore how modern banks are navigating an operating environment defined by persistent complexity. From geopolitical fragmentation to rapid technological change and evolving workforce expectations, financial institutions increasingly find themselves at the centre of conflicting demands. A key theme of the discussion is how companies — and by extension, their banks — are being squeezed between diverging geopolitical priorities and mounting sustainability‑related risks. Ed and Heike examine the crucial role regulation may play in helping organisations manage these pressures, and why early recognition of sustainability‑driven risk trends is becoming a critical success factor for banks. The episode also connects to a wider article series produced by colleagues globally, which outlines why sustainability has shifted from a compliance exercise to a strategic imperative for banking operations.

Send a textWhat if public sound worked like Wi‑Fi—discoverable, labeled, and just a tap away? We sit down with Dr. Dave Fabry and Dr. Heike Heuermann to explore Auracast, the new Bluetooth broadcast audio that lets a single source stream to many listeners at once, from hearing aids to everyday earbuds. No more chasing the wrong gate call or straining to hear through echoes; you choose your channel and get clear, direct audio where it counts.We trace the path from proprietary wireless and telecoils to a unified, open approach that scales across homes and venues. Heike explains why Auracast is more than the next Bluetooth spec: it's a usability leap. The MyStarkey  Auracast Assistant makes discovery feel like joining Wi‑Fi, while Google Fast Pair removes pairing pain so users can connect in seconds. Dave shares real‑world wins—targeted airport announcements, cleaner speech in train stations, and labeled streams in places of worship—showing how broadcast audio brings clarity without extra gear or complex apps.This shift also changes who benefits. Instead of infrastructure serving only hearing aid users, venues can offer inclusive audio that welcomes anyone with compatible earbuds or headsets. That broader value speeds adoption: gyms can stream TV audio and class instruction side by side, classrooms can reach every student, and families can share the same TV feed without splitters. Along the way we compare telecoils' strengths with Auracast's flexibility, discuss battery and quality trade‑offs, and map how this technology becomes the default for public listening.If accessible audio has ever felt like a workaround, Auracast points to a simpler future: discover, join, and hear what matters.

This week, the Yoshitsune legend finds its legs with Heike Monogatari--one of the most epic works in Japanese history. Except that while Yoshitsune is a bigger deal here than he is in Azuma Kagami, he's still far from the main character....so where does he show up, what changes does Heike make from the Azuma Kagami version, and what's still missing from our hero's story? Show notes here. 

Send a textWhat if connecting to the right sound felt as simple as joining Wi‑Fi? We dive into Auracast and Google Fast Pair with Dr. Heike Heuermann, to show how broadcast audio, lower latency, and smarter pairing are about to make hearing aids—and earbuds—far more useful in the real world.We start with Heike's rare blend of physics and cognitive psychology, the lens that turns decibels into human experience. From that vantage point, Auracast (Bluetooth LE Audio) makes a decisive shift from one‑to‑one links to one‑to‑many streams: a single TV, airport gate, classroom, or worship service can reach countless listeners at once. The result is practical and inclusive. Travelers subscribe to only their gate's announcements. Partners follow the same show without extra boxes. Gym members pick the instructor over background noise. In places once dominated by telecoils, lightweight transmitters and an Auracast Assistant app replace complex loop installs, and because earbuds connect too, stigma drops while adoption climbs.Sound quality and endurance get a real upgrade. LE Audio's LC3 codec widens bandwidth, cuts latency to keep lips in sync, and reduces power draw so all‑day streaming is realistic. Multi‑stream support unlocks fresh experiences: choose a language in a cinema with a tap, or select exhibit audio in a museum without borrowing headsets that ignore your hearing profile. For work, seamless switching across phones, laptops, and tablets meets modern hybrid life, reducing the friction that once discouraged users from staying connected.We also unpack why partnerships matter. Starkey's collaboration with Google brings global ecosystem strength—Fast Pair discovery, Android reach—together with deep hearing science, DNN‑driven processing, and clinical insight. That combination accelerates a shift away from accessories like TV streamers as televisions adopt LE Audio broadcasting, simplifying homes while expanding access.If you care about hearing technology, accessibility, and the future of connected audio, this conversation offers clear use cases, fewer setup headaches, and a vision that treats connectivity as part of care. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs the update, and leave a review to tell us where Auracast would help you most.Omega AI hearing aids don't just keep up. They redefine what it means to be modern and discreet yet durable and comfortable for all-day wear.They're waterproof, everyday-proof, and designed to go the distance of your day and then some. All while tailored to your unique hearing needs.

The most dangerous lie women believe in midlife is that their best years are behind them. It shows up quietly. It sounds reasonable. It tells us to slow down, step back, and stop wanting more. In Episode 254, When Wanting More In Midlife Starts to Feel Wrong, I sit down with pro-aging advocate Ande Lyons to challenge that lie and reveal how easily women become caged by their age without even realizing it. We talk about how gendered ageism shapes confidence, ambition, and identity for women in midlife — and why wanting more in midlife can suddenly feel inappropriate, risky, or unrealistic, even when women still feel capable, curious, and alive. This conversation introduces a pro-aging mindset and reframes aging not as decline, but as expansion. We explore what it really means to rewire, not retire, why purpose after 60 is not only possible but powerful, and how lived experience becomes an advantage rather than a limitation. We also talk about visibility — saying your age out loud, being comfortable as the oldest woman in the room, and choosing to show up fully instead of shrinking. Ande shares why intergenerational community matters, and how connection helps dissolve ageism while keeping women energized, engaged, and grounded. We cover simple daily practices that support positive aging: gratitude, journaling, intentional movement, protecting balance and strength, and choosing community over isolation. Throughout the episode, one truth is reinforced again and again: self-first is not selfish. This conversation is a reminder that wanting more in midlife is not a problem to fix. You are not done. You are not invisible. And you do not need permission to want more.
