Kate Marvel spends her days playing with climate models, which she says are “like a very expensive version of The Sims.” As a physicist she gets tired of being asked to weigh in on economics, geopolitics, and despair — but she still defends the right of scientists to have strong feelings about the planet. SOURCES:Kate Marvel, climate scientist and science writer. RESOURCES:Human Nature: Nine Ways to Feel About Our Changing Planet, by Kate Marvel (2025)."Are Americans Concerned About Global Warming?"

In this episode of The Care Ministry Podcast, Laura Howe welcomes Rebecca Bailey, a licensed professional counselor and coach for Hope Made Strong, to unpack the unique mental health needs of ministry leaders. With decades of experience in both clinical and church settings, Rebecca shares how leaders can manage the pressures of leadership, recognize signs of burnout, and build rhythms that lead to health and sustainability. This episode provides honest, encouraging insight for anyone serving in a caregiving role in the church. Quotes Rebecca Bailey:“The cost of caring is real—and if we're not intentional, it will catch up to us.” Laura Howe:“We often underestimate the emotional labor of ministry—it's not just about what we do, but what we carry.” Rebecca Bailey:“One of the most spiritual things you can do is take a nap. Rest is holy.” Laura Howe:“Leaders need space to process their own pain while they hold space for others.” Rebecca Bailey:“You don't have to wait until you're falling apart to seek support. Preventative care is powerful.” Resources Church Care Coordinator Job Description Connect with Hope Made Strong Website: HopeMadeStrong.org Socials: Facebook – Instagram – Twitter – YouTube

Mark 10:35–45 In today’s episode, we hear the surprising story of James and John asking Jesus a very big question — and how the other disciples reacted! Jesus teaches them (and us!) something amazing — true greatness doesn’t come from bossing people around or being first. It comes from serving others, just like Jesus did. He is the King of kings, but He came to help, love, and give His life for us. At the end, we talk about simple ways kids can follow Jesus’ example this week - to keep their eyes open for ways to be a helper. Helpers serve and whether it’s big or small, it makes a difference. They are reminded that when you help someone, you are serving — just like Jesus did. He is our perfect example.------------

In this academic-themed interview episode of Decoding the Gurus, Matt and Chris sit down to chat with Dorsa Amir and Chaz Firestone (@chazfirestone) about their recent paper 'Is Visual Perception WEIRD? The Müller-Lyer Illusion and the Cultural Byproduct Hypothesis.'In a conversation that serves as a welcome tonic to the endless lamentations of the gurus about academic groupthink and closed-minded silos, Dorsa and Chaz discuss the interdisciplinary nature of their work, debates around universal vs. culturally specific psychology, and the strength of evidence that visual perception varies between cultures.

Send us a text#34: This week on Rise Recover Live, Liz takes the mic for her first-ever solo epiosde, connecting with the listeners one-on-one.In this snack-sized conversation, Liz opens up about her personal journey with anxiety—her ever-present "companion" through life. Liz reflects on how anxiety showed up during active addiction, and how her relationship with it has evolved through recovery and age. Thanks to amazing friends, family, and clinical support, Liz has learned to recognize when anxiety tries to take the front seat. Where she once reached for a drink, now she reaches for the helpers—the people and routines that remind her she's not alone. Though anxiety may always be along for the ride, Liz shares how she acknowledges it, breathes deeply, and keeps moving forward. As parting words, Liz reminds us: you are not alone. It's okay to feel anxious, and it's okay to not want to feel that way.

CodeRabbit, led by founder Harjot Gill, is tackling one of software development's biggest bottlenecks: the human code review process. While AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot have sped up code generation, they've inadvertently slowed down shipping due to increased complexity in code reviews. Developers now often review AI-generated code they didn't write, leading to misunderstandings, bugs, and security risks. In an episode of The New Stack Makers, Gill discusses how Code Rabbit leverages advanced reasoning models—OpenAI's o1, o3 mini, and Anthropic's Claude series—to automate and enhance code reviews. Unlike rigid, rule-based static analysis tools, Code Rabbit builds rich context at scale by spinning up sandbox environments for pull requests and allowing AI agents to navigate codebases like human reviewers. These agents can run CLI commands, analyze syntax trees, and pull in external context from Jira or vulnerability databases. Gill envisions a hybrid future where AI handles the grunt work of code review, empowering humans to focus on architecture and intent—ultimately reducing bugs, delays, and development costs.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest insights about AI code reviews: CodeRabbit's AI Code Reviews Now Live Free in VS Code, Cursor AI Coding Agents Level Up from Helpers to Team Players Augment Code: An AI Coding Tool for 'Real' Development WorkJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game. 

Episode 151: Why Creativity Isn't Optional Anymore for Therapists and Helpers (Season 5 Finale) What if your burnout is actually a signal that it's time to shift?What if the path back to fulfillment isn't more certifications or better time management—but more creativity, play, and aligned living? If you're a therapist, helping professional, or creative entrepreneur feeling burned out, stuck, or unsure how to keep showing up in this field you used to love… this episode is for you. In this solo season finale of The Innovative Therapist Podcast, I share what I've learned in Season 5—and in my own life—about why creativity isn't optional anymore. Not just as a bonus. But as a necessary part of sustainable, meaningful work. A Season of Alignment, Creativity, and Courage This season has been the most “me” the podcast has ever felt. We talked about creative living, storytelling, nervous system regulation, entrepreneurship, embodiment, and how to do more of the work that lights us up. And behind the scenes? I turned 40.I danced in a contemporary show.I choreographed a duet with my friend Allie about perfectionism and authenticity.I celebrated, rested, cried, and reimagined what I want to build. And most importantly—I listened.To my body. To my joy. And to the parts of me that still get scared when I try something new. If You're Asking “What Else Can I Do With My Therapy Skills?”… You're Not Alone. Many of us became therapists or helpers because we're deeply empathetic and want to create change. But somewhere along the way, you might find yourself asking: How do I keep going when I'm burned out? What other career paths exist for therapists like me? How can I use my gifts without sacrificing my well-being? Is it okay to want something different—even if I've invested so much into this path? I hear these questions all the time from folks in my community. And I've asked them myself. Which is why this episode is about offering both reflection and direction. Because creativity, when we make space for it, helps us unlock new answers to these questions. Why Creativity Matters—Especially Now Here's what I believe:Creativity and joy aren't frivolous. They're essential. They help us connect with our own aliveness. They open up possibilities. They offer healing not only for ourselves, but for our clients and communities. And they are especially important for therapists and helping professionals navigating: Burnout and compassion fatigue A changing mental health landscape Systems that reward overworking and self-sacrifice The desire for more flexibility, freedom, and fulfillment In short? Creativity is your asset.Not a distraction. Not a hobby. But a path to deeper alignment and more sustainable impact. Tools + Resources for Burned Out Therapists & Creative Helpers If you're feeling stuck, uninspired, or unsure how to move forward, here are two simple ways to begin reconnecting with your Zone of Genius:

This week, Pastor Jena delivered a powerful Mother's Day message, calling women to embrace their God-given identity as helpers, life-givers, and warriors. As helpers, we are strong, life-giving supporters modeled after God's own help; As mothers (both biological and spiritual), we are nurturers who birth and sustain life through love, care, and sacrifice; and as warriors, we are called to rise up, intercede, and stand against darkness with God's truth. Each role reflects a divine calling to walk in the works God prepared for us, living as reflections of His strength, compassion, and courage. 

In August 2022, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall made a guest appearance on a local conservative talk radio show. It was two months after the US Supreme Court had overturned Roe v. Wade, and abortion was now illegal in Alabama. And Marshall addressed rumors that he planned to prosecute anyone helping people get abortions out of state.  “If someone was promoting themselves out as a funder of abortion out of state,” Marshall explained to the host, “then that is potentially criminally actionable for us.” This particular threat launched an epic legal battle with implications for some of the most basic American rights: the right to travel, the right to free speech, the right to give and receive help. This week on Reveal, reporter Nina Martin spends time with abortion rights groups in Alabama, following how they've adapted to one of the nation's strictest anti-abortion policies—and evolved their definition of help.

Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!  Ch cha changes.... I actually don't like when things change, but I've learned to appreciate the growth. If I'm abiding with Jesus, then when things change (not all) it's for my growth of more fruit. I have been in quite the pruning season and one thing that's been affected is this podcast. For one, I dropped to one episode a week. For two, I'm going to talk more to the person I was...which is a burnt out nurse.

Have you ever trusted a professional—only to feel blindsided when they stepped out of line? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a real, raw experience my husband and I had with a hospice social worker who crossed major boundaries. From questioning financial decisions to challenging legal authority, this episode exposes what happens when people in power overreach, and why it's crucial to stand firm in what you know is true. You'll learn: What a hospice social worker is supposed to do (and NOT supposed to do). How to spot when someone is overstepping in care situations. Why lucid moments don't equal mental capacity—and how to trust the deeper patterns. How to hold your power when professionals or family try to make you question yourself. What POA really means, and how to navigate manipulation from both loved ones and caregivers. This is for anyone who's ever been gaslit by a professional—or felt like they had to defend themselves for just doing what's right.

Late one night, a Kenyan elephant sanctuary received a call that an elephant calf had fallen into a well. The rescue team arrived to cries of despair flooding the darkness and discovered that two-thirds of the baby’s trunk had been lost to hyenas. Transporting the calf to their safe haven, they named him Long’uro, which means “something that has been cut.” Though he possessed only one-third of his trunk, Long’uro healed and was embraced by the rest of the herd at the sanctuary. Elephants innately know they need each other, so they help each other. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul underscores our need to help each other within the body of Christ. He uses the metaphor of the human body and its individual parts to describe how God intends His people to welcome all gifts in all people because all are needed for His body to function (vv. 12-26). Then Paul explains how unity in diversity is accomplished. “God has put the body together,” he wrote, “giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other” (vv. 24-25). Whether weak or strong, fancy or common, let’s help each other. Like the elephants, people need each other too.

No one gets through life without help. That's the topic this week and the specifics Brent's sharing are all examples of people needing help and people helping. It's a perfect example of how we can make big differences with just a little effort. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood and you'll know why after listening to this week's episode of MeatEater's "This Country Life" podcast.
