Witchcraft is where former St. Louis County councilwoman Kelli Dunaway found empowerment. Soon after stepping down as councilwoman in 2024, she launched Legal Witchcraft. The new venture combines her experiences as an attorney and witch to provide personal development counseling through tarot card readings, moon phase classes and shadow work. Dunaway shares how she found witchcraft before leaving her position as a lawmaker, and how she helps people find magic and power in their own lives.

Have you ever wished people could truly understand what fibromyalgia feels like, or what it's like to live with a condition that never really goes away? You are not alone. Explaining fibromyalgia to the people you love is one of the hardest parts of living with an invisible illness. From the outside, you might look perfectly fine, but inside, you feel like you've been run over by a truck. It's even harder when your symptoms change from day to day. You might manage errands or a social event one day and need to rest the next, leaving people confused or questioning what's going on. Trying to explain that experience to someone who has never experienced chronic pain feels impossible. Today, Tami is sharing tools you can use to make these difficult conversations a little easier without wearing yourself out in the process. Using the right strategies and language can make a world of difference. Whether it's a simple analogy, a short story that captures the daily challenges, or setting clear boundaries around what you can and can't explain, these conversations can make all the difference in whether you feel supported or alone. In this episode, Tami shares why fibromyalgia is so hard to explain, how its invisibility, fluctuating symptoms, and emotional weight affect daily life, simple, relatable analogies others without chronic pain can relate to, the power of using tactile demonstrations to show pain and sensitivity, the Spoon Theory and other analogies to explain daily limits, sharing books and other media to educate others, how you can use stealth tactics to help your loved ones understand what you're experiencing, understanding the three circles of trust, setting boundaries and learning to say no without guilt, resources that help with explaining fibromyalgia to children, how growing up with a family member with a chronic illness can teach empathy and resilience, choosing the right time and place to have these fibro conversations, accepting imperfect help and building a supportive team, why you need to create a flare survival plan, how professionals and coaches can help to improve your quality of life, and more. Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice. Every person and every situation is unique. The information you learn in this episode should be shared and discussed with your own healthcare providers. Join us for the Living Well with Fibromyalgia Summit: Holiday Edition.

What happens when compassion, science, and family come together to reshape the way we understand addiction? In this powerful episode, I talk with Dr. Carrie Wilkens co-founder of the Center for Motivation and Change (CMC) and co-author of Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change.We talk about the origins of CMC and how that created a blueprint that challenged the “tough love” approach so many families have been told is their only option. Together, we explore what has changed in addiction science over the past decade, what remains misunderstood, and how kindness continues to transform lives.You'll hear us dig into:• What's new in the 10th Anniversary Edition of Beyond Addiction—and how the science has evolved in the last decade.• Why relapse doesn't erase progress and how parents can reframe it in ways that bring more peace of mind.• The harmful oversimplification of “choice” in addiction and how to think about it in a more accurate and compassionate way.• How parents can move beyond the paralyzing fear of “enabling” and make decisions that truly serve their family.This is a conversation filled with wisdom, validation, and forward-looking hope for families who want a different path. One based on connection, science, and love.CMC Resources and Links:Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change (10th Anniversary Edition) https://cmcffc.org/resources/books-and-workbooksSupport the Center for Motivation and Change: https://motivationandchange.com https://cmcffc.org/ways-to-giveResources From Heather Ross Coaching If you want answers and support to help you and your child Sign up for a 45-minute $17 Road to Recovery call with Heather using the link below. https://heatherrosscoachingcalendar.as.me/RoadtoRecoveryThe truth about enabling - If you've ever worried about enabling, this guide is for you! https://heatherrosscoaching.com/perspective-about-enabling/Boundaries That Create Connection Masterclasshttps://heatherrosscoaching.com/boundaries-that-create-connection-masterclass/How to leave a podcast reviewhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/5xkPZM8mj-E

But while raising this kind of money is the dream of many developers, its creator Ritchie Vink didn't set out to do so. Also, making democracy work isn't easy, as recent events have made clear. Some critics would argue that technology is making it worse. But one startup is hoping that AI could help bridge some differences instead of widen them. Learn more about your ad choices.

Erik and Rob dig into why co-intelligence is the future, not artificial intelligence alone.

We're celebrating 10 years of God's faithfulness and revisiting why we exist: to help people know God John 17:3. Not just to know about Him, but to truly know Him. Our hearts are resetting around our mission—Practicing the Way of Jesus—and the four Pursuits that shape us as a church: Presence of God, Transformational Discipleship, Kingdom Community, and Sacrificial Mission.Today's message calls us to move from information to true relationship with the Father who loved the Son before creation John 17:24. We'll explore practical pathways to host His presence, be formed into Christlikeness, belong as family, and live a daily life of surrender and mission—because this next decade is all about keeping Jesus at the center.So grab your Bible, your BTJ, or something to write on—and let's step in together.
Imagine walking through a peaceful forest, listening to birdsong, or watching the waves roll in on a sunny beach. Now imagine doing all of that without ever leaving your chair. New research published in the American Journal of Health Behaviour took a group of older adults living with dementia and gave them this experience in a study exploring the benefits of virtual reality. The study looked at how nature-themed virtual reality sessions could help improve emotional well-being and quality of life for people with Alzheimer's disease. The research team worked with 11 residents at a long-term memory care facility, all diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer's. Over five weeks, participants took part in two 20 to 30-minute VR sessions each week. Using a program called Nature Treks VR, they were transported to peaceful landscapes like forests, meadows, and oceans complete with animated animals and plants they could interact with. While nature is known to have powerful calming and restorative effects, many people living with dementia face challenges getting outdoors. Limited mobility, safety concerns, and lack of access to green spaces can make it hard to enjoy the real thing. That's where virtual reality came in offering a safe, indoor way to connect with the natural world. After five weeks of virtual nature sessions, participants reported feeling more positive emotions like pleasure and alertness and fewer negative ones, such as sadness, anxiety, and anger. They also said their overall quality of life had improved. And it wasn't just the numbers that told the story. In interviews, both participants and their caregivers shared heart-warming feedback. Many spoke of how much they enjoyed exploring the virtual environments, how exciting it was to try something new, and how the experiences sparked fond memories from the past. One key moment came when participants recalled special places from their childhoods, or family holidays by the sea showing that virtual nature didn't just offer relaxation, but also helped trigger meaningful memories and emotional connections. The study offers a hopeful glimpse into how technology can be used in care settings not to replace real-world experiences, but to offer new ways to connect, explore, and improve quality of life when the real world isn't always accessible.

It Takes Leaders with Vision to Help People with Dreams Have you ever stopped to remember that every single person you meet has a dream? Some of those dreams are massive—building companies, creating wealth, impacting millions of people. And some are simple but just as powerful—a dream for peace, joy, or to be truly happy again. In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most important truths I've ever learned: it takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams. I share how your love—love for your family, your spouse, your children, your team—has to be greater than your fear, your adversity, or your obstacles. Because if you're not attaching your vision to something bigger than yourself, it's too easy to quit. I walk you through the difference between being motivational, inspirational, and aspirational—and why only one of these creates lasting transformation. We talk about the role of vision in leadership, not just in business, but in your home and in your own life. Whether you're leading a company, raising a family, or leading yourself, your job is to sell the dream—again and again—until everyone around you can see what you see. And here's the key: it can't just be words. You have to validate that vision with massive action so others know it's real. I share how leaders from Jesus to Martin Luther King Jr. to Steve Jobs created movements because they didn't just speak dreams, they embodied them. And I give you a roadmap for becoming that kind of leader—the kind whose love and vision make them unstoppable. Because the truth is, your dream isn't just about you. It's about the people whose lives you're meant to change when you finally step into your calling. Key Takeaways: Why every person you meet carries a dream in their heart The difference between being motivational, inspirational, and aspirational How to attach your love to your vision so obstacles can't stop you The importance of repeatedly “selling the dream” in your family, business, and life Why your actions must validate your vision if you want to inspire others Your dream is waiting—and so are the people counting on you to lead them. Let's rise together. Max out.

Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, aim to enable people to control various adaptive devices directly with their thoughts. There are many BCI devices currently in various stages of development, with the potential to help people with ALS and similar conditions across many different activities of daily life. One particular area in which BCI devices may be able to support people with advanced ALS symptoms is communication. Many people with ALS rely on devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops to write or speak. All tools like these, collectively known as augmentative and alternative communication or AAC devices, need some kind of input to work. This could mean using a keyboard, a touchscreen, or, for people with advanced paralysis, an eye-gaze device. As ALS progresses, however, even eye gaze devices may become difficult for some people to use. BCIs—by allowing people to control AAC devices with their minds—could be a potential solution to this problem. Today, on Endpoints, we’re joined by two experts to discuss BCI technology and, in particular, its potential to help people with ALS continue to communicate. The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not represent official endorsements by any organization. Kate Nilsen currently serves as an advisor to Synchron, a company developing a brain-computer interface (BCI) device.

Pieter Engelbrecht, CEO of South Africa's largest supermarket group Shoprite Holdings, is interviewed by Jewel Kiriungi, BBC Africa Business Correspondent. His company employs 163,000 people, the largest in the country's private sector, with three thousand stores across nine African countries. Pieter Engelbrecht describes to Jewel how he believes the company helps people on low incomes by producing food at prices they can afford, in a country where a quarter of all South Africa children don't eat enough protein. He says they have a purpose to help people survive. He talks about the success of the company's loyalty card programme and how everything they do is data driven. He says he sees potential to grow the business in South Africa and beyond despite Shoprite having closed its operation in several parts of the continent, including Nigeria and Kenya.(Image: Pieter Engelbrecht, Credit: Getty Images/Bloomberg)

Host Jodi Katz sat down with two women at the forefront of redefining health care as we know it: Liz Josefsberg, Founder & CEO of Target 100 Inc and Sarah Pesce, COO of stealth-mode wellness startup Radence.Despite wildly different paths—Liz went from Broadway star to Weight Watchers executive, while Sarah pivoted from nurse practitioner to health-tech builder—both share a mission: to help people move from “sick care” to well care.Liz's early career was center stage—literally. She spent years performing in Showboat and Les Misérables, all while privately battling weight fluctuations. That struggle led her to Weight Watchers, first as a member, then as a team member, and ultimately as their Director of Brand Advocacy. She helped build programs, consulted for the CEO, and guided celebrities like Jennifer Hudson and Charles Barkley through their own wellness transformations.But Liz wanted more than just the Weight Watchers playbook. She authored Target 100, a behavioral weight loss book that evolved into an app platform connecting hydration tracking, biometrics, and movement. Her mission? To give people a simple, evidence-based way to understand their bodies—and stay in the game without guilt or shame.Sarah began in cardiology, treating patients already facing chronic illness. It didn't sit right. She saw an opportunity to move upstream—to build better systems for prevention. That led her to advanced degrees, hospital innovation work, and eventually to launching wellness labs that deliver “digital twins” of users through biomarker testing, wearables, and environmental data.Now, at Radence, Sarah's team is developing a member-based preventative screening experience backed by a powerhouse science team. Her focus? Making cutting-edge longevity care accessible, personalized, and understandable—without needing an advanced medical degree to interpret your own labs.Liz and Sarah agreed on nearly everything: that bio-data is only helpful if it's explained clearly. That technology is outpacing consumer understanding. That shame is a sales tool used too often—and that emotional support is what most health programs are missing. Whether it's using AI to build “Liz in your pocket” or designing a membership that meets people where they are, their north star is clarity, context, and compassion.As Liz put it: “No woman has ever come to me and said she doesn't know an apple is better than a Snickers. The problem isn't information. It's behavior—and how we stay in the game.”

Wes Adams: Meaningful Work Wes Adams is the CEO of SV Consulting Group, a firm partnering with Fortune 500s and scaling companies to develop high-impact leaders and support high-performing teams. He is also a positive psychology researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, where he studies the leadership practices and organizational structures that help employees thrive. He's the author, along with Tamara Myles, of Meaningful Work: How to Ignite Passion and Performance in Every Employee*. A generation ago, work was just work for a lot of folks. Today, we expect more out of our careers than past generations ever did. That means leaders need to be better at helping people find meaning at work. In this conversation, Wes and I discuss how leaders can do better at being catalysts for connection. Key Points We expect so much more from work than we did a generation ago. Work is increasingly a place where people seek belonging, purpose, and meaning. Supporting community in the workplace is a combination of building trust and designing shared experiences. Just like a balanced investment portfolio, community is a combination of diverse avenues that build a strong foundation. Consider a simple structure for synchronized breaks to help people connect more intentionally during work. Invite team members to share a story of them at their best or reflect on a photo/story that has meaning for them at the start of team meetings. When responding to a joy that a colleague shares, ask a follow-up question that engages and elevates. Higher difficulty (yet strongly meaningful) activities include shared volunteer work and funding or support for community activities. By occasionally sharing personal plans, stories, reading lists, or other activities, the leader sets the tone for others feeling safe to connect in this way.
