In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the rich and often complicated stories of women in Genesis 37–41, shining a thoughtful Latter-day Saint lens on narratives that are frequently overshadowed by the story of Joseph. Dr. Wilson brings depth and cultural insight to the account of Dinah, whose story in Genesis 34 echoes into the later family tensions surrounding Joseph; Tamar, whose courageous and calculated actions in Genesis 38 preserve covenant lineage; and Potiphar's wife, a powerful yet unnamed Egyptian woman whose encounter with Joseph in Genesis 39 raises questions about power, agency, morality, and voice. With careful attention to ancient Near Eastern context and covenant theology, this episode highlights how these women—whether victims, heroines, or antagonists—play essential roles in moving the Abrahamic story forward. Dr. Wilson invites viewers to look beyond surface readings and consider issues of honor, inheritance, justice, and faith in a patriarchal world. As Joseph rises from slavery to leadership in Egypt, the stories of these women remind us that God's purposes unfold through complex human experiences—and that even the most difficult narratives in Genesis offer profound spiritual lessons for modern disciples.
In this episode, Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the rich Old Testament narratives surrounding the matriarchs of Israel, highlighting the faith, courage, and covenant loyalty of women in the Jacob cycle. Beginning with the well-known scene of Rebekah's generosity in Book of Genesis—where she offers water not only to Abraham's servant but to his camels—Dr. Wilson connects this act of selfless service to the covenant marriages that shape the house of Israel. The story then moves to Rachel and Leah, daughters of Laban, whose lives intertwine with Jacob's through love, deception, longing, and divine promise. Through their marriages, and through the faithful contributions of Zilpah and Bilhah, the foundations of the twelve tribes are laid. Dr. Wilson carefully examines the births of Gad and Asher through Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, and reflects on the complex family dynamics that shaped Jacob's household. She also addresses the wives of Esau and the contrasting covenant paths chosen by Jacob and his brother. With insight drawn from ancient context and Latter-day Saint theology, this episode brings forward the voices of these often-overlooked women—Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, Bilhah, Rebekah, and Esau's wives—showing how their choices, sacrifices, and faith played a central role in God's covenant story.

Genesis 18–23 highlights several remarkable women whose stories, read through an LDS lens, reveal faith, covenant, and the quiet influence of righteous women in God's plan. Sarah stands at the center: in Genesis 18 she hears the promise that she will bear a son in her old age and initially laughs, a deeply human reaction that the Lord gently turns into a lesson about divine power and timing. Latter-day Saints often see in Sarah a model of covenant partnership with Abraham—someone who grows into faith and ultimately receives the miracle promised. Genesis 19 introduces Lot's wife and daughters, whose experiences near the destruction of Sodom show both the dangers of looking back spiritually and the complexity of preserving family in a fallen world. An LDS perspective emphasizes agency and accountability, while also recognizing the difficult circumstances these women faced. Genesis 20–23 continues to show how women are woven into the covenant story. Sarah's protection in foreign courts underscores the Lord's watchful care over covenant mothers through whom promises flow. Her eventual joy in Isaac's birth (Genesis 21) fulfills God's word and highlights the doctrine that nothing is impossible for the Lord. Hagar and her son Ishmael are also remembered compassionately in Latter-day Saint thought: though separated from Abraham's household, they are seen as recipients of God's mercy and promises. Finally, Sarah's death in Genesis 23 is treated with great honor, showing her importance as a matriarch in Israel. Altogether, these chapters present women not as side characters but as vital participants in the Abrahamic covenant, whose faith, struggles, and divine encounters still teach modern disciples about trust in God's promises.

Last week the opera world joined in unanimous celebration as Leontyne Price celebrated her 99th birthday. Though I'm a trifle late to the party, I do have a Price episode today, and one with a twist, featuring the beloved diva in a repertoire she only occasionally performed: the operas of Richard Strauss. Today let's imagine ourselves back in the 1960s and early 1970s in an alternate universe, one in which Leontyne Price was one of the leading interpreters of the operas of Richard Strauss. Fortunately, there are enough live and studio recordings for us to create such a universe: over the course of her career, Price performed and recorded Strauss repertoire ranging from Guntram, his first opera from 1893, through his penultimate opera, Die Liebe der Danae, completed in 1940, but first officially premiered posthumously in 1952. The excerpts heard range from an early British radio recording of Danae in 1959, through a remarkably viable performance of the final scene of Salome from as late as1986. She is also heard in an extended live excerpt from Ariadne auf Naxos, the one Strauss role she performed onstage. I have remarked repeatedly elsewhere that the music of Strauss seemed to bring out the very best in Leontyne Price, and that is certainly true of the performances heard here, tantalizing teasers of what might have been, had she chosen to explore more of these roles onstage.

In this Healing Heroine episode, Chandler sits down with Depth Hypnosis facilitator Olive Evans, and our Hero + Psychic Medium on the show, Lea Morgan to explore what happens when intuition becomes impossible to ignore, even when it scares us.Olive's story begins at what felt like rock bottom: a divorce, chronic illness, insomnia, anxiety, and a life that looked nothing like the one she imagined. Through meditation, yoga, and small moments of light, she slowly rebuilt her health. But it wasn't until an intuitive reading with Lea that everything clicked into place — including the abilities she'd carried since childhood but never understood; the very abilities that have become her purpose and her path.This episode is for anyone curious about hypnosis, intuitive work, or learning how to trust inner guidance in a practical way.

Claire Huangcis Repertoire ist breit gefächert, es reicht von Tschaikowsky bis Schubert, von Beethoven bis Gershwin, von Bach bis Rachmaninow. Jetzt hat sie ein Konzeptalbum herausgebracht mit Klaviermusik von Komponistinnen. Sie kommen aus unterschiedlichen Zeiten und Welten. Teils sind sie wohlbekannt, wie Fanny Hensel und Clara Wieck-Schumann, teils halbwegs bekannt geworden in jüngster Zeit, dank der Bemühungen der Genderforschung, wie Amy Beach. Und teils müssen sie erst noch entdeckt werden, wie die afroamerikanische Florence Price, die doppelt diskriminiert wurde.
In this episode, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the stories of faithful women in the Old Testament who demonstrated deep obedience, covenant loyalty, and unwavering trust in God—even when their discipleship required real sacrifice. Through an LDS lens, she highlights how women were vital participants in God's covenant work, not merely background figures. Their lives show that faith in the Lord often requires courage, patience, and a willingness to place divine promises above personal comfort or social expectations. A special focus is given to Sarah in Genesis 12 and the Book of Abraham, following the journey she and Abraham make to Egypt during a time of famine. There, they encounter serious danger as Abraham fears for his life because of Sarah's beauty, leading to complex moral and spiritual tests. From an LDS perspective, Sarah's faith, unity with Abraham, and trust in God's protection reveal a woman deeply committed to the covenant path. Her story—marked by risk, displacement, and divine deliverance—invites viewers to appreciate the spiritual strength of covenant women and to see how their examples still guide Latter-day Saints striving to live faithfully today.
Das Album "Piano Heroines" beweist, dass sich Komponistinnen wie Fanny Hensel oder Amy Beach vor keinem männlichen Kollegen verstecken müssen.

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with the Hormone Heroines, Dr. Serena Russum and Dr. Heidi Codino, to unpack what women actually need to thrive hormonally from puberty through menopause and beyond. Dr. Serena and Dr. Heidi are award-winning speakers and nationally recognized experts in women's health, with extensive training in longevity medicine, hormonal health, peptides, and BHRT. Their passion lies in helping women address root causes, not just symptoms, using a holistic functional medicine approach so they can feel strong, energized, and supported at every stage of life. This episode is a must-listen for any woman who wants to build strength, protect her hormones, and age with power instead of burnout. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Muscle Is Medicine—Especially for Women Muscle isn't just about strength or metabolism—it's a hormone-regulating, longevity-protecting organ. Lose muscle, and everything from blood sugar to estrogen balance takes a hit. Protein Timing Matters More Than You Think It's not just how much protein you eat—it's how evenly you spread it throughout the day that determines whether your body can actually build and repair muscle. Estrogen Protects More Than Your Bones Estrogen plays a critical role in muscle recovery, injury prevention, and resilience. Ignoring this connection leaves women vulnerable to pain, plateaus, and faster aging. Longevity Isn't a Supplement—It's a Strategy Yes, tools like Urolithin A can support muscle and brain health—but nutrition, stress management, strength training, and the right practitioner are the real foundation for thriving long-term.

In this episode, we dive into Moses chapter 8 and Genesis 6–11, exploring the powerful stories surrounding Noah, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel through a Latter-day Saint lens. These chapters highlight a world struggling with increasing wickedness, yet still touched by prophetic warnings, covenants, and divine mercy. Viewers will gain insight into how the Joseph Smith Translation in the book of Moses expands the biblical account, especially in emphasizing the role of preaching, repentance, and moral agency before the Flood. The discussion connects these ancient events to modern discipleship, asking what it means to remain faithful in a corrupt society. Special attention is given to the women mentioned or implied in these chapters—such as the “daughters of men” in Genesis 6, Noah's wife, and the wives of his sons—who are often overlooked but are essential to the story of preservation and covenant continuity. Their presence reminds us that families, marriages, and righteous women were central to God's plan to carry humanity forward after the Flood. By noticing these women in the text, this episode invites viewers to read more carefully and see how both men and women participate in God's work across generations, helping build a bridge from the world before the Flood to the renewed world that followed.

Why do Bible translations matter?

Moses chapter 7 centers on the rise of the City of Enoch, a people who learned to build Zion by becoming “of one heart and one mind,” dwelling in righteousness, and caring deeply for one another. Under Enoch's prophetic leadership, the people rejected violence, pride, and inequality, choosing instead to live the law of consecration so fully that there were “no poor among them.” Their society was marked not only by moral purity but by profound compassion—so much so that the Lord Himself wept over the suffering and wickedness of the world. In contrast to the surrounding nations, Zion stood as a covenant community defined by love, justice, and unity with God. The chapter also teaches that Zion is not merely a place, but a condition of the heart that any people can strive to achieve. Moses 7 makes clear that Zion is built through repentance, obedience, humility, and collective commitment to God's ways. As Enoch's people aligned their lives with heaven, they became sanctified and were ultimately taken into God's presence, symbolizing the destiny of a truly Zion-like society. For modern readers, the City of Enoch becomes both a model and an invitation: Zion is achieved when individuals and communities choose righteousness, unity, and selfless care for the vulnerable, preparing the world—and themselves—for the return of the Lord.
In this Healing Heroines episode, Chandler sits down with award-winning health journalist and author Meghan Rabbitt to explore what it means to truly listen to your body in her new book, The New Rules of Women's Health: Your Guide to Thriving at Every Age. Meghan shares her experience navigating severe fibroids, anemia, and ultimately a hysterectomy. She reflects on the physical, emotional, and identity shifts that followed. Drawing from Meghan's reporting and lived experience, this conversation offers a clear-eyed look at healing that integrates medicine, self-trust, and the courage to slow down. What You Will Learn[00:07:30] How years of “powering through” symptoms can delay necessary medical intervention[00:10:00] What led Meghan to pursue multiple medical opinions before choosing surgery[00:12:30] Why hysterectomy decisions are highly individualized and not one-size-fits-all[00:16:30] How preparing emotionally and physically before surgery supported recovery[00:19:00] The role of community and shared experience in normalizing women's health challenges[00:26:00] Why deep rest and slowing down were critical parts of post-surgical healing[00:28:30] How somatic and energetic work helped process emotional healing after surgery[00:46:00] Why trusting intuition is essential when navigating women's health concernsResources MentionedThe New Rules of Women's Health by Meghan RabbittThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkTyrer-Cuzick Breast Cancer Risk Assessment ToolLet's Connect!Meghan RabbittWebsite | Instagram | LinkedInChandler StroudWebsite: https://healingheroespodcast.com/ Mixing, editing, and show notes provided by Next Day Podcast.
Genesis chapter 5 and Moses chapter 6 take us into the earliest generations of God's covenant people, tracing the lineage from Adam through Enoch and revealing why these names matter far more than a list of ages and ancestors. In this video, Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson explains how these chapters preserve temple-centered themes of covenant, posterity, and divine identity. Genesis 5 quietly emphasizes continuity—life, death, and faith passed from one generation to the next—while Moses 6 expands the story, restoring prophetic voices, priesthood authority, and the doctrine that humans are literal children of God. Together, these texts teach that genealogy in scripture is theology: it shows how God works through families to move His plan forward. Dr. Wilson also highlights Moses 6 as a powerful doctrinal restoration that deepens our understanding of repentance, baptism, and spiritual rebirth. Through the ministry of Enoch and the teachings given to Adam, we learn that salvation comes through Jesus Christ, that hearts can be changed, and that Zion is built when people choose righteousness in a fallen world. This video helps viewers see how the Joseph Smith Translation clarifies missing or obscured truths, transforming familiar passages into a compelling invitation to walk with God—just as Enoch did—and to claim our own place in God's eternal family.

In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines: Find Their Messiah in the Old Testament, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the Fall of Adam and Eve through the lens of Moses 4 and Genesis 3, highlighting how careful attention to language, context, and covenant reveals Jesus Christ at the center of the story. Rather than portraying Eve as reckless or malicious, Dr. Wilson explains that the Hebrew text suggests growth, perception, and timing—Eve sought wisdom, but before the appointed time and outside the proper divine order. The Fall is shown not simply as a mistake, but as a necessary step in humanity's journey toward knowledge, accountability, and ultimately redemption. Dr. Wilson emphasizes the profound symbolism of nakedness and covering, teaching that Adam and Eve's attempt to clothe themselves with fig leaves represents human self-reliance, while God's gift of coats of skins represents divine atonement. The Hebrew concept of kaffar, meaning “covering,” points directly to Christ's role in covering humanity's sin and vulnerability. The Lord's questions—“Where goest thou?”—underscore that disobedience moves us away from God, yet His response is still merciful, structured around accountability, repentance, and hope rather than abandonment. Ultimately, this lesson reframes the banishment from Eden as an act of mercy, not punishment. By preventing Adam and Eve from partaking of the tree of life too soon, God ensures they have time to repent and be spiritually prepared. Throughout the narrative, Christ emerges as the promised seed who will overcome Satan and restore what was lost. Through scripture that is carefully illuminated and faithfully defended, Lynne Hilton Wilson shows how the stories of the Old Testament—even those involving transgression, sorrow, and consequence—are deeply rooted in the redemptive power of Jesus Christ.
This special Healing Heroines compilation brings together real women speaking honestly about grief, chronic illness, anxiety, faith, motherhood, and the slow rebuilding of self-trust — not from a place of having it all figured out, but while they're still living it.We created the Healing Heroines series to make healing feel more human, more possible, and less lonely. These clips capture some of the most tender and illuminating moments so far — reminders that there is no single path forward, and that change often begins quietly: with small shifts, supportive relationships, and compassion replacing self-judgment.What You Will Learn[00:03:23] Why community plays a critical role in grief, and how shared experiences can normalize emotions that feel isolating or confusing[00:05:34] How giving yourself permission to grieve without a timeline can reduce internal pressure and self-judgment[00:10:06] What it looks like to trust your body's capacity to heal when conventional medical answers fall short[00:12:58] How feeling empowered—rather than “fixed”—can change the relationship you have with chronic symptoms[00:13:31] Why consistent, small acts of care often create more stability than waiting for big emotional breakthroughs[00:15:58] How reframing personal traits as strengths can support self-acceptance and emotional clarity[00:18:45] What compassionate accountability can look like during periods of physical pain, stress, and major life transitions[00:27:25] How specific spiritual experiences can open curiosity about life, death, and connection beyond the physical worldResources MentionedHiring Heaven by Jean SlatterLet's Connect!Follow The Healing Heroes on Instagram & LinkedIn.Chandler StroudWebsite | LinkedIn | InstagramMixing and editing provided by Next Day Podcast.
The Creation accounts in Genesis, Moses, and Abraham invite us to reflect on a world that began “without form, and void” and was gradually shaped by divine power into something beautiful and full of life. These scriptures teach that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are creators who work patiently and purposefully, bringing light out of darkness and order out of chaos. That truth offers hope in our own lives: when things feel empty or disorganized, God is still at work. Being created in His image means we have divine potential—to grow, to change, and ultimately to become more like Him. These Creation stories also help us better understand who God is and who we are. They testify that we are made in God's likeness, male and female, and that our bodies are sacred gifts. This knowledge shapes how we see ourselves and others, especially when we struggle with self-doubt or negative messages from the world. Rather than suggesting that we are already finished or perfect, the scriptures teach that God's creative work in us continues. Through humility and grace, weaknesses can become strengths, and we can be refined into who God intends us to be. Finally, the Creation narrative teaches us about sacred relationships and responsibilities. Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and central to His plan, and we are entrusted with the stewardship of the earth and all living things. God also set apart the Sabbath day as holy—a time for rest, worship, and renewal. Together, these truths remind us that creation is not just a past event, but an ongoing invitation to live with reverence, gratitude, and purpose as we care for God's creations and honor the divine image within ourselves.
In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines, we explore two of the most expansive and identity-shaping chapters in all of scripture: Moses chapter 1 and Abraham chapter 3. Together, these chapters lift our eyes beyond the mortal world and remind us who we really are—and why we are here. Beginning with Moses 1, we witness a powerful confrontation between Moses and Satan. This chapter teaches how spiritual clarity comes from knowing our divine identity as children of God, and how that knowledge gives us strength to resist the temptations, deceptions, and counterfeits of the adversary. Moses's declaration—“I am a son of God”—becomes a model for discipleship in a world filled with competing voices. Turning to Abraham 3, we are invited into a grand vision of the cosmos and the premortal life. Abraham learns of intelligences, divine order, and God's eternal plan—revealing that we existed before this life and were chosen to participate in God's great work. These verses help us see mortality not as an accident, but as a purposeful step in a loving, eternal design. Together, Moses 1 and Abraham 3 testify of the work and glory of God: to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of His children. This study encourages faith, spiritual courage, and a deeper sense of divine belonging—reminding us that knowing who we are changes how we live.
Join Lynne Hilton Wilson for an inspiring journey through the Old Testament, centered on Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah. For many, approaching the Old Testament can bring mixed emotions—eagerness, uncertainty, even apprehension. As one of the oldest collections of sacred writings in the world, its ancient cultures and stories can feel distant or unfamiliar. Yet within these pages are deeply recognizable human experiences and powerful gospel truths. In this video, Lynne Hilton Wilson helps viewers see how the lives of men and women from the Old Testament point us to Christ. Though their circumstances were different from ours, they knew family joy and conflict, faith and doubt, success and failure. Most importantly, they exercised faith, repented, made covenants, and held fast to the promise of a Savior. As we learn how God moved in their lives, we begin to see how He moves in ours. This episode invites you to rediscover the Old Testament not as a distant or intimidating book, but as a living witness of Jesus Christ, echoing the psalmist's testimony: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

What if the moment that nearly broke you became the one that set you free? In episode 234 of Joy Found Here, author Megan Michelle shares how life-saving open-heart surgery became the spark for her debut novel Skylark. What began as weeks of darkness turned into a flood of inspiration—a story that would change her life and redefine her purpose.

This week's Healing Heroine is none other than Liz, a long-time small-business owner. She joins Hero and Confidence Coach Cait DeMello and host Chandler to explore what happens when entrepreneurship becomes an unexpected path of self-development. Liz walks us through the moments that pushed her into deeper personal work — scaling a business, outgrowing a role that no longer fit, and facing the emotional cost of leadership. Cait offers practical inner-child practices, parts-work, and somatic exercises that helped Liz reconnect with her authentic self and enhance her confidence as an entrepreneur.This conversation is for anyone trying to build a life and a business without losing themselves in the process.What You Will Learn[00:08:47] The shift from “doing it all” to realizing that the version of you who built the business isn't necessarily who you need to be now.[00:24:14] How an initial outreach and simple connection call led to a coaching relationship that felt like a true fit.[00:25:41] What the throat/edging exercise looked like in practice and why leaning into the sensation helped it ease.[00:26:11] Why enlarging the feeling instead of pushing it away can make distress move through faster.[00:29:11] How the “wild woman / lion” movement practice was used as a somatic, liberating tool and continues to be part of Liz's routine.[00:30:32] That Liz is now “much more in touch with my inner child” and can identify that part's needs when it shows up.[00:32:12] The Five Personality Patterns (the “leaving pattern”) helped Liz name a root theme about safety that reframed many of her life choices.[00:51:52] A simple daily practice: carving out five minutes to notice feelings and re-learn how to be with yourself.Resources MentionedThe 5 Personality Patterns by Steven Kessler (Book).Let's Connect!Follow The Healing Heroes on Instagram & LinkedIn.Cait DeMelloWebsite | Instagram | LinkedInChandler StroudWebsite | LinkedIn | InstagramMixing and editing provided by Next Day Podcast.

This episode is for anyone curious about integrating Western medicine with somatic practices to reclaim steadiness and agency in the midst of chronic pain.What You Will Learn[00:08:57] How moving during COVID and juggling childcare, work, and a new community contributed to loneliness and stress in daily life.[00:13:00] Cluster headaches as a neurological condition tied to trigeminal nerve misfiring and hypothalamic/circadian rhythms, often presenting seasonally and with intense pain.[00:16:30] The lengthy diagnostic path — multiple specialists, imaging, and the moment Lexi self-identified her condition in college.[00:18:30] Acute treatments (triptan injections, oxygen, verapamil) can reduce pain quickly, but responses vary and some patients remain treatment-resistant.[00:20:30] Why Lexi became open to complementary approaches (nature, intranasal oils, emerging research like psilocybin) alongside medical care.[00:23:30] How connection with a practitioner — Nicole's sequencing, intention, and presence — made somatic practices feel safe and effective for Lexi.[00:31:15] The experience of a palpable energy release during Thai bodywork that felt like a meaningful shift in tension and affect.[00:39:30] The value of tracking symptoms and responding early — combining Western tools with yoga, sound, and bodywork helped soften episodes and create more days of steadiness.Let's Connect!Follow The Healing Heroes on Instagram & LinkedIn.Nicole KimWebsiteChandler StroudWebsite | LinkedIn | InstagramMixing and editing provided by Next Day Podcast.

The Heroines of Jiangyong were women in rural China who made a secret language – Nüshu – to communicate with each other. Nüshu translates directly to “women's writing” and is a series of phonetic scripts. The practice is estimated to go back as far as the Shang Dynasty 1600 to 1046 BCE. For centuries it was the language of female defiance to the Chinese patriarchy, legitimizing the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of rural women who had been denied access to an education.For Further Reading:Heroines of JiangyongNüshu: China's secret female-only languageReviewed Work: Heroines of Jiangyong: Chinese Narrative Ballads in Women's ScriptNüshu, the women-only language that recorded a hidden perspective of history A centuries-old secret script called nüshu is empowering young Chinese women For the past six years, we've been telling the stories of women you may or may now know– but definitely should.

Chandler speaks with Hero and Accountability Coach Bonnie Heim about how compassionate accountability changed our Heroine Diedra's life. Diedra is a high-achieving finance professional with an overwhelming schedule, and had lived with an undiagnosed physical illness as well as weight struggles prior to working with Bonnie. Through Bonnie's unique approach to accountability, Diedra not only lost weight and was able to overcome her symptoms, but most importantly, she learned that showing up for yourself despite experiencing big life changes, has a way of positively impacting all areas of your life.As Bonnie eloquently puts it, " accountability is not a hammer — it's a hug” and small daily reminders alongside simple tools can create sustained change. What You Will Learn[00:08:37] Diedra's lifelong drive to be involved and give back, alongside long-standing struggles with body image and confidence.[00:11:30] How a major cross-country move and subsequent, undiagnosed illness compounded stress and made self-care harder.[00:17:30] How the book, The Body Keeps the Score, helped spark Chandler's curiosity about unprocessed stress and the body's role in healing.[00:22:22] The specific turning point that made Diedra decide something had to change.[00:24:47] Why starting a program during a chaotic life transition was possible — and how small first steps mattered more than waiting for “the perfect Monday.”[00:26:30] What positive accountability looks like in practice: encouragement + structure + daily, nonjudgmental check-ins.[00:31:30] How simple, concrete tools and permission to rest (e.g., specific self-care moves Bonnie suggests) help manage flare-ups and keep progress steady.[00:45:00] The moment Diedra recognized the change as a lifestyle shift — choosing nourishing meals and feeling the difference in daily life, not just the scale.Resources MentionedThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk (Book).Let's Connect!Follow The Healing Heroes on Instagram & LinkedIn.Bonnie HeimInstagramChandler StroudWebsite | LinkedIn | InstagramMixing and editing provided by Next Day Podcast.

We're back with another Healing Heroine conversation, this time with Sam, a longtime client of Hero and Myofascial Release Therapist Karen. For over 15 years, Sam suffered from severe undiagnosed dizziness with symptoms comparable to vertigo. After experiencing imbalance, nausea, and fatigue daily, Sam desperately sought answers from countless physicians and specialists, but to no avail. Eventually, Sam learned to live with the constant dizziness just to make it through each day. It wasn't until she met Hero Karen and experienced the healing effects of MFR that Sam started to regain control over this debilitating and recurring health issue. Sam explains how learning the tools to reduce intense symptoms was the start of her healing journey. This episode is for anyone who's felt stuck living with chronic symptoms and is ready to explore a body-first path toward steadiness.

In this heartfelt conversation we discuss his passions, the community that loved him, and her journey of navigating life after his suicide learning to carry her grief while still honoring his story.Almost a year after Pao's passing, Jodi attended Katie's Happy Camp retreat, where she began to discover that healing isn't about “moving on,” but about finding small ways to move forward—sometimes just one moment at a time.

"She has many rare & charming qualities, but Sobriety is not one of them."—Jane Austen, Jack and AliceDrunken brawls. Cannibalism. Heroines behaving very badly. Such mayhem may seem worlds apart from the sedate drawing rooms of Austen's novels, but it is par for the course in her teenage writings. In this episode, we welcome Lesley Peterson for an exploration of the whimsical world of Austen's juvenilia—the hilarious and often absurd stories she penned in her youth. Along the way, we'll see how young Jane, growing up in a lively, intellectual household, was already testing boundaries and sharpening the wit that would one day captivate readers everywhere.Lesley Peterson is the editor of the Journal of Juvenilia Studies and, before her retirement, was Professor of English at the University of North Alabama. She has published numerous articles in JASNA's journals, Persuasions and Persuasions On-Line, and is a frequent presenter at JASNA's Annual General Meetings. In 2024, she served as a JASNA Traveling Lecturer and was awarded a fellowship through the JASNA International Visitor Program.For a transcript and show notes, visit https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep27/.*********Visit our website: www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookSubscribe to the podcast on our YouTube channelEmail: podcast@jasna.org
