Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp Sweet Potatoes, Holistic Health, Anti-Aging and a Life of Many Voices Dr. Susan Smith Jones & Jim Messkimen Sweet Potatoes, Many Voices, and the Art of Living Well A Two-Part Hour of Health, Humor, and Performance In this episode of Popp Talk, host Mary Jane Popp presents a two-guest program that moves from holistic nutrition to show-business creativity. The first half features Dr. Susan Smith Jones, who discusses the health benefits of sweet potatoes and her book A Hug in a Mug. The second half features actor, voice artist, impressionist, and performer Jim Messkimen, who talks about impressions, improvisation, acting, audio books, art, and his famous mother, Marion Ross of Happy Days. Dr. Susan Smith Jones and the Power of Sweet Potatoes Mary Jane opens by introducing Dr. Susan Smith Jones as a longtime holistic health expert, author, educator, and advocate for optimum nutrition and balanced living. Dr. Jones says the featured “sweet treat” of the episode is the sweet potato, one of her ten favorite superfoods. She explains that sweet potatoes are often confused with yams, but that they stand apart nutritionally because of their color, antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, minerals, and versatility in meals. A Nutritional Powerhouse From Head to Toe Dr. Jones explains that orange sweet potatoes are rich in beta carotene, which converts into vitamin A and supports vision, immunity, and skin health. She also discusses vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium, fiber, and anthocyanins, especially in purple sweet potatoes. These nutrients, she says, help support cardiovascular health, blood pressure, digestion, gut bacteria, immune defense, brain function, eye health, inflammation reduction, skin elasticity, collagen production, and healthy hair growth. Gut Health, Inflammation, and Everyday Immunity A major part of the health conversation centers on digestion and inflammation. Dr. Jones explains that sweet potatoes contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, supporting healthy gut bacteria while also keeping digestion moving. She connects gut health to overall immune function and explains that antioxidants in sweet potatoes may help reduce systemic inflammation, which she describes as connected to many diseases. She also emphasizes sweet potatoes as immune-supporting food during cold, flu, and COVID seasons. Easy Ways to Eat Sweet Potatoes Dr. Jones gives several practical ways to use sweet potatoes in everyday food. She suggests baking them simply with a little salt and extra virgin olive oil, spiralizing them into pasta, steaming and chilling them for smoothies, adding them to pancakes, salads, soups, muffins, breads, puddings, and desserts, or slicing them into baked chips. She especially recommends a bright orange soup made from sweet potatoes, carrots, and butternut squash, which she says is rich in beta carotene and supportive for vision, immunity, inflammation, and overall health. A Hug in a Mug and Holistic Living Mary Jane asks Dr. Jones about her latest book, A Hug in a Mug, whose subtitle focuses on fruits, vegetables, juices, soups, spices, teas, and healthy living extras. Dr. Jones says the book offers natural approaches for ailments from head to toe, along with more than one hundred recipes and practical guidance on healthy living. She also mentions related topics such as intermittent fasting, cold therapy, motivation, sleep, exercise, and injury prevention. She directs listeners to SusanSmithJones.com, where they can learn about her books, newsletter, X updates, and personalized autographed copies. Jim Messkimen and a Life of Many Voices After the health segment, Mary Jane welcomes Jim Messkimen, describing him as an extraordinary impressionist, actor, voice-over artist, and the son of Happy Days actress Marion Ross. Jim explains that although Mary Jane heard he had thirty-eight voices, he now does well over one hundred. He says he is always listening, collecting, and analyzing voices, especially from politics, entertainment, and public life. His impressions include figures such as George W. Bush, Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson, Robin Williams, Alan Rickman, Judi Dench, Johnny Carson, Jimmy Stewart, Patrick Stewart, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden. Happy Days, Jumping the Shark, and Growing Up Around Talent Mary Jane asks Jim about his connection to Happy Days, and he explains that he appeared in the famous “jump the shark” episode, where Fonzie waterskied over a shark while the cast visited Hollywood. Jim says he was the actor on the beach who announced the shark. He also discusses his mother Marion Ross, noting that she had a good ear for dialects and mimicry and that her tolerance and encouragement helped support his own interest in voices. He says Marion is doing well and approaching her ninety-sixth birthday. Improvisation, Acting, and the Comfort of the Unknown Jim talks about his love of improvisation and says he is often more comfortable improvising than memorizing strict, scripted lines. He credits his training at the National Improv Theatre in New York and reflects on working in settings where exact wording matters, including The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. He also discusses his appearances on Whose Line Is It Anyway? explaining that improvisation is not as mysterious as people think because ordinary conversation is improvised all day long. Impressions as Acting, Listening, and Physical Transformation Jim explains that impressions are not only about vocal sound. He listens for pitch, rhythm, attack, word choices, physical posture, facial structure, and the emotional character of the person he is portraying. He says some voices come naturally because they fit his vocal range, while others require physical adjustment and practice. He uses Alan Rickman as an example of a voice requiring a specific internal and external shape. For Jim, the goal is to become the person enough that their thoughts and speech patterns begin to flow naturally. Audio Books, Writers of the Future, and Galaxy Press Mary Jane and Jim discuss his work with Galaxy Press and the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future anthology. Jim says he, his wife, and his daughter have narrated stories for recent anthology volumes, including volume 40, and he encourages listeners to check out the audiobook or physical book. He also describes directing the large-cast audiobook version of Battlefield Earth, a nearly thousand-page project that took about nine months to record, involved many actors, music, and sound effects, and won an audio award. Art, Cartooning, and the Creative Path Mary Jane asks who Jim Messkimen is beyond the voices, and Jim says he is an artist at heart. His first love was drawing and cartooning, and he once imagined becoming a cartoonist. He drew for school papers and yearbooks, worked at Hanna-Barbera as a storyboard assistant, became a professional illustrator and cartoonist, and later studied classical art in Spain and Northern California. Although acting eventually became his main career, he still paints, draws, and shares artwork occasionally through his website and social media. Closing With Creativity and Curiosity The interview closes with Jim sharing where listeners can find him, including JimMesskimen.com, social media, and his online courses for impressions and voice acting. Mary Jane also expresses interest in having him back to discuss artificial intelligence and its possible impact on voices, performance, and thought. She ends the show by praising Jim's talent and closing with her familiar reminder to “live simply, laugh often, love deeply, and above all else, dare to dream.”

What is the absolute least amount that you can do right now to move, to shift, and to get unstuck?The answer is remarkably simple: just breathe.In this episode of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are diving back into the world of "Movement Morsels" (a direct continuation of last week's Episode #208!). Today, we are exploring a beautiful, powerful truth: simply breathing is movement.This is not your typical podcast episode. There is no formal intro or outro. Instead, after a very brief setup, Lorrie guides you through a short, powerful 3-minute Breath Practice designed to help you tune out the noise of the external world and tune into the magnificent, hidden choreography happening inside your body.What You'll Experience in This Breath Morsel: The Anatomy of the Inhale: Learn how your diaphragm moves downward like a gentle piston, massaging your liver, stomach, and pancreas to create space and boost digestion. The Hug of the Exhale: Visualize your diaphragm doming upward like an upside-down umbrella, nesting against your lungs and giving your heart a physical, soothing "hug." The Internal Pump: Understand how this rhythmic internal tide filters out stagnation, shifts heavy emotions, and signals absolute safety to your nervous system. External Release: Experience how tuning into your internal movement allows tight external muscles—like your neck, shoulders, and lower back—to completely melt and let go.How to use this episode: I highly recommend downloading or saving this specific episode to your favorite player. Come back to it at different times of the day, in different circumstances, and notice how it moves you.Mentioned in this Episode: Episode #208: Movement Morsels (Catch up on last week's episode to learn more about the philosophy behind minimal movement!)Enjoy the show?Please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

In this timely episode, Chris discusses the best ways to avoid becoming a statistic while hiking during desert heat waves. He also points out that the vast majority of people suffering injury and death from extreme heat have little other choice. Migrants, the incarcerated, and outdoor labor all face serious threats from hot weather, with little recourse to protect themselves. That's why state and federal protections for workers and the incarcerated are so crucial. Notable Quotes: "Heat turns minor mistakes into fatal mistakes." "Testosterone is not an electrolyte replacement." Incarcerated people dying from heat injury is a frequent and growing problem that is not tracked in any methodical way." "Hug your dogs."

Last year - Winnipeg Police got a search warrant for an illegal hobo shack on the riverbank in the East Exchange District seemingly operating a bicycle chop shop. Last week - Marty Gold had an exclusive interview with the lawyer of one of the accused, after the controversial case was dropped by the Crown. This week - We review a letter sent to the Winnipeg Sun by police chief Gene Bowers after the warrant was acquired- and in Episode 25 ask listeners to judge whether Bowers owes the citizens of Winnipeg an apology after the case fell apart.Part 1- A brief recap of Marty's report on Sunday about a family told they could leave by employees at an East Kildonan pool after they complained about a pair of “absolutely perfectly symmetrical” breast implants being paraded around by a topless male. Then, an explanation of how his reports about the distortion of annual crime statistics and subsequent interview with lawyer Martin Glazer about the flawed riverbank investigation were incorporated into Kevin Klein's excellent column "Winnipeg's crime statistics no longer reflect lived reality." The publisher of the Sun, Klein stated- "When administrative and legal outcomes become the filter through which crime is counted, the statistics stop reflecting what actually happened in this city. They reflect what the system managed to process and prove... The question worth asking is not whether crime is down on paper. It is whether the paper reflects the street."Every city council candidate should be required to read it and respond.20.05 Part 2- "The article by Mr. Gold demands a response by the Winnipeg Police Service" wrote chief Bowers to the Winnipeg Sun last September, "and Inspector Helen Peters deserves an apology from its author and publisher."Bowers called the column questioning Peter's qualifications to manage the investigation and evaluate if a warrant was needed "a personal attack by a media outlet (that) does not align with the principles of ethical journalism nor does it serve the public interest."As you will hear, considering the flaws Mr. Glazer identified in both the warrant and the investigation - which failed to link the accused to either the shack or to any stolen goods as charged- the last thing Bowers should have been doing was spouting off about how journalists covered the actions of his staff. Bowers and his predecessor, Danny 'Hug-a-Thug' Smyth allowed the mayhem generated by illegal encampments to proliferate and endanger public safety. Was that "ethical"?Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Sun led the way in exposing the violence, theft, and environmental damage allowed by police and elected officials - including former mayor Brian Bowman and then Scott Gillingham - to degrade the quality of life for residents and business owners in the North End, Point Douglas, Downtown, West Broadway, Fort Rouge and West End neighborhoods.35.55- The failure of the high-profile case has attracted the attention of legal minds across Canada- and has resulted in some good questions being raised about how Bowers and his staff could be held accountable. Listen to the potential pathways for members of the public to do so, even if Mayor Gillingham and City Councillors won't. As Kevin Klein wrote- "When major enforcement operationsfall apart in court, police leadership should explain what went wrong rather than go silent. Accountability is not a political attack. It is basic governance."****** The Season Seven Funding Campaign has raised $1630 thus far.

Meeting PurposeDiscussing how to give feedback to high-performing, defensive colleagues.Separate the Person from the Problem: Frame feedback around the "water bottle" (the issue) to avoid activating defensiveness. Use neutral language like "workable" vs. "unworkable" instead of "right" vs. "wrong."Decouple Performance: Unpack "performance" into its component parts (e.g., sales targets + adherence to process). This prevents the person from anchoring to one metric and dismissing feedback on others.Build Relational Capital: Invest in personal conversations ("intimate" vs. "admin") and praise publicly to build trust. Deliver critical feedback privately to avoid triggering face-saving behavior.Manage Internal Friction: Acknowledge that internal and external "friction" (the gap between theory and practice) is constant. The goal is to improve your ability to navigate it, not eliminate it.Scenario: A high-performing colleague (e.g., a top sales rep) makes a costly error (e.g., a quoting mistake) and responds defensively to feedback.Austin's Reaction: Frustration at the person's defensiveness, especially when they are normally receptive.Key Discovery: Austin realized he was applying coaching tools only in formal coaching contexts, not in peer-to-peer colleague interactions.1. Separate the Person from the Problem"Water Bottle" Analogy: Frame the issue as an object separate from the person.Neutral Language: Use terms like "workable" vs. "unworkable" instead of "right" vs. "wrong."Decouple Performance: Define "performance" beyond a single metric (e.g., sales) to include process adherence, quality, and teamwork.2. Build Relational CapitalPraise Publicly, Reprimand Privately: This avoids triggering face-saving behavior.Personal Conversations: Invest in non-work discussions to build trust."Admin" vs. "Intimate" Conversations: Be clear on the type of conversation you're having.3. Manage Your Internal StateDecouple Anger from Passion: Reframe your intensity as passion for the person's success."Angry for you, not at you": A powerful reframe to communicate support."Help, Hug, or Listen?": Before offering advice, ask yourself what the other person needs.Friction (von Clausewitz): The gap between theory and practice is constant. The goal is to improve your ability to overcome it, not eliminate it.Relatability: Leaders should selectively share their own struggles to be more human and relatable, avoiding an "impossible ideal" that discourages the team.Coaching Permission: Coaching is most effective when the other person has granted permission.Austin: Apply the feedback framework (water bottle, neutral language, decoupling performance) in future colleague conversations.Austin: Proactively build relational capital through personal conversations and public praise.Austin: Practice reframing internal frustration as passion for the other person's success.

She was 13. A girl she trusted convinced her she had a gift. She stood up and sang in front of 200 people and only found out afterward that everyone was laughing. That moment didn't just embarrass her. It rewrote her entire script: be whoever you have to be to belong. What followed was a decade of bulimia, drugs, self-hatred, and disappearing into everyone else's version of acceptable. What came after that is why she's on this show. Jennifer K. Hill is an entrepreneur, executive coach, and connector of extraordinary humans and this conversation goes far deeper than business. George and Jennifer unpack the real cost of losing yourself, what it actually takes to come back, and the daily practices that make self-love something you live, not just talk about. Raw, spiritual, and deeply human. What You'll Learn In This Episode: How a single moment of public humiliation can rewrite a person's entire identity What it took Jennifer to go from chronic self-destruction to genuine self-love The Golden Triangle of Connection and why self-connection must come first How to hear God's voice and tell it apart from your ego The Heart Focus Breathing technique you can use anywhere, anytime Why most "self-love" content is actually sophisticated distraction How to empirically test your intuition and trust it more Key Takeaways: ✔️The script "be whoever you have to be to belong" is written young and costs decades to rewrite. ✔️Connection to self is the foundation. Without it, connection to others and to purpose collapses like a house of cards. ✔️The ego yells. God whispers. Stillness is how you hear the difference. ✔️Hug yourself daily. Tell yourself you are loved, cherished, and enough. Science supports it. So does 20+ years of Jennifer's client work. ✔️Heart Focus Breathing (HeartMath) can shift you out of fight-or-flight and into compassion in minutes and it's accessible anywhere. ✔️Your higher brain cannot function until your lower brain first feels safe. All deep work starts there. ✔️Test your intuition empirically. Ask questions you can validate. The more you check, the more you trust. ✔️Self-love isn't soft. It's the hardest, most important work any entrepreneur will ever do. ✔️If peace is to exist in the world, it must first exist within us.

“La lamentatio circa lo stato della critica d'arte, che manca, è mediocre o assente, è un sottogenere letterario in voga.” Scrive lo storico dell'arte Michele Dantini “I punti di vista sono molteplici, persino concorrenti. Sembrano tuttavia convergere in un'amnesia. (…)“ In questa puntata di Voci Dipinte interroghiamo la critica d'arte non solo come genere, ma anche come ruolo di responsabilità verso le opere e verso gli artisti. Parliamo di indagine poetica e discorsi retorici, di crisi della figura del critico d'arte ma anche di opportunità da riscoprire. Il tema è complesso e suscita spesso opinioni conflittuali, come dimostra il confronto fra i nostri due ospiti:Angela Vettese, critica e storica dell'arte italiana, fondatrice e coordinatrice del corso magistrale di Arti visive presso l'università di Venezia Iuav, autrice di libri come “Capire l'arte contemporanea” (Allemandi), “Arte contemporanea tra mercato e nuovi linguaggi” (Il Mulino), “La rivolta del corpo - gli artisti che lo hanno usato, spinto al limite, liberato” (Editori Laterza)Michele Dantini, storico e critico d'arte, saggista, Professore ordinario di Storia dell'Arte Contemporanea all'Università per Stranieri di Perugia e alla IMT Scuola Alti Studi Lucca, autore di libri come e “Arte e sfera pubblica” (Donzelli), “Storia dell'arte e storia civile” (Il Mulino), “Le forme del divino” (Il Mulino).L'inserto della settimana ci porta al Kunsthaus di Zurigo, dove è allestita “The Histories”, la prima grande retrospettiva in area germanofona dedicata all'artista afroamericano Kerry James Marshall: un viaggio fra tele monumentali, riferimenti alla cultura pop e riflessioni su rappresentazione, potere e appartenenza. Marshall mette al centro della propria opera corpi, memorie e identità troppo a lungo esclusi dalla narrazione occidentale. Emanuela Burgazzoli ha incontrato la curatrice Cathérine Hug.

From the opening scene of the brilliant film, GABIN (2026), which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this year, it was clear you were in the hands of a master of the craft of documentary. And it's no wonder: director Maxence Voiseux and producer Élise Hug worked ten years to make this happen.How such brilliance wound up on a screen at Cannes is what I wanted to know from the filmmakers, and they were happy to share.What Maxence and Élise want you to know about the film;why it was made indistinguishably from a narrative film (really!) and what that means for the state of docs;the long ten year journey of getting GABIN made;what makes an "auter-driven" documentary and why GABIN is such a marvelous work from a director with a vision;how each got into documentary film;"distance is the core of documentary" -- how he made that statement happen for GABIN and advice for documentarians for their own films;producing a film for 10 years -- is that easier or harder than a shorter timeframe? -- and the challenges particularly in France;the role of the Cannes Film Festival in elevating documentaries and how to expand that ability to other directors;their strategy coming into the Cannes Film Festival;how people should follow when GABIN will be available.weighing how much directors have to participate on social media.Indie Film Highlight: LA DETENTION (2026) dir. by Guillaume MassartLinks:Lightdox's GABINVARIETY Review of GABIN (2026)

Bouffées de chaleur, fatigue, irritabilité, baisse de la libido voire état dépressif... les symptômes de la ménopause sont nombreux et parfois invalidants.

This week's episode is a very special one… and an emotional one for me. My great friend Joe Pangelinan, a 2-time guest on the podcast (Ep. 219 & Ep. 352), unfortunately passed away last week (April 14th, 2026) after his valiant fight and courageous battle with Stage-IV lung cancer. Therefore, to honor his legacy and life, I am not only resharing one of my favorite conversations with Joe, I share some deep thoughts & lessons in the beginning and end of this episode to make it tremendously personal and special. I've known Joe since 1998. He was there in the early days, and he even helped name my first gym, Fitness Quest 10. He's been a brother to me in every sense of the word. And while this conversation was originally recorded during the fight of his life, what you're about to hear is so much more than a story about cancer—it's about how to live.  Joe was originally diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer on December 31st, 2020. What he thought was walking pneumonia turned into a diagnosis that had already spread throughout his body. It didn't make sense. A healthy, vibrant, fit, non-smoker… and yet, there he was, in the fight of his life. But what will hit you most isn't the diagnosis—it's his mindset. This conversation we had is raw, real, and deeply human. You'll laugh. You might cry. And you will absolutely walk away with a renewed sense of gratitude, perspective, and purpose. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The story behind how Fitness Quest 10 got its name and Joe's role in it A hilarious behind-the-scenes story from Joe's days as a D1 wrestler at Cal Poly, including a run-in with Chuck Liddell Joe's cancer journey and what happened on that life-changing New Year's Eve The emotional rollercoaster after diagnosis—and how he chose to respond What it means to "fight to be on the tail end" and hold onto hope The life lessons Joe learned while staring adversity in the face How a wrestler's mentality shaped his grit, resilience, and refusal to quit The blessings, gratitude, and perspective that defined his final chapter What IMPACT truly means—and the legacy Joe wanted to leave behind This episode is more than a conversation—it's a reminder. A reminder to not live in fear. A reminder to double down on gratitude. A reminder to keep fighting, no matter what battle you're in. Joe's life and legacy will continue to impact me—and I know it will impact you too. Please do me a favor…Hug someone tight this week and don't wait to say, "I'm sorry," "I forgive you" or "I love you." And in honor of Joe's legacy, please share this episode with your following or on your social media. Or share it with anyone who is going through a difficult time right now and needs some perspective on life right now.

Glancing at the calendar, I note that the first day of spring is just a few days away as I write this Warm Thoughts column. Yes, another spring is here this month, and the colors of spring will soon be all around us.The redbird and robins will sing their songs of cheer, The green frogs will start croaking in the babbling brook, The flowers, grass, and trees will come to life. The geese and ducks will fly high as they quack and giggle in the sky. Children's joyful voices will fill the air as farmers plant seeds with hopes and prayer. Another spring will soon be here. We love to welcome sweet springtime. It is indeed a time of promise, hope, and joy.An unknown author once wrote, “Every day can be a spring in your life, even though you are approaching the winter of your life and those sunset years.” As I was deep in thought about spring and the colors of springtime, a dear friend shared a poem entitled, “Winter Colors.” Some call winter dismal. I surely disagree. Winter has its colors, if you only stop to see. Red cardinal skipping through the hedge, The shimmering blue of the pond's water's edge. The mallard's head of velvet green, Made brilliant by the sun's golden sheen. The color of winter is not dead, But filled with colorful hues instead. Author unknown.March 22nd is “As young as you feel day.”Everyone can take this day to remember that they are no older than they feel. March 15th is Hug a Farmer Day, and the week of March 15th is National Agriculture Week, dedicated to the farmers of America, and is designated to educate the people about agriculture in the United States. Farewell winter, and we welcome spring. Each season brings with it colors to brighten our lives.More Warm Thoughts: As we watch for the signs of spring, let us hold the warmth of all those blessings of our seasons on our hearts. May you have many warm thoughts this spring season.Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie, Over a Cup of Tea, written by Dr. Luetta G.

Sab rêvait d'une parentalité comme dans les contes de fées. Mais après six mois d'essais infructueux, son mari demande un spermogramme. Le verdict tombe : FIV nécessaire. Commence alors un parcours de quatre ans et demi, rythmé par les protocoles hormonaux, les ponctions, les échecs répétés et l'attente interminable. Entre les doses massives d'hormones qui amplifient ses troubles latents, les ultrasons internes, la violence de voir des femmes enceintes partout et l'envie de tout abandonner, Sab traverse une véritable épreuve. Anna Sharapova, psychologue et psychothérapeute à l'unité de médecine de la reproduction des HUG, décrypte l'impact psychologique des parcours PMA.

Send a textSometimes a paper comes out that's so practical and relevant to what we do in digital pathology that I know we have to talk about it.In this episode, I dive into “A Guide for the Deployment, Validation and Accreditation of Clinical Digital Pathology Tools” from Geneva University Hospital (HUG) — one of the most useful, real-world frameworks I've seen for bringing digital pathology tools safely into clinical practice.If you've ever built an AI model and wondered, “Now what?”, this episode is for you. Because building the model is often the easy part — deployment is where things get complex.This guide breaks the process into four practical phases every lab can follow:1️⃣ Pre-Development – Define your clinical need, project scope, and validation plan before writing a single line of code. 2️⃣ Development – Build and integrate the algorithm in a production-ready environment. 3️⃣ Validation & Hardening – Turn your research code into a reliable, secure, and compliant clinical tool. 4️⃣ Production & Monitoring – Keep the tool validated and performing consistently over time.We also discuss what makes qualification, validation, and accreditation different — and why that order really matters. You'll hear about the multidisciplinary team behind these deployments, especially the deployment engineer (DE) — the technical linchpin who turns AI research into clinical reality.I share the story of HUG's H. pylori detection tool, which cut diagnostic time by 26% while maintaining a 0% false negative rate. The team's secret? Careful planning, quality control, and continuous user feedback — not just great code.Other highlights include:Why integration often takes longer than building the AI model itselfHow to avoid invalidating your validation dataWhat continuous performance monitoring looks like in real labsAnd why every lab still needs to do local validation, even with proven toolsIf you're working on digital or computational pathology tools — or just want to understand how AI safely moves from research to routine diagnostics — this episode will give you a roadmap grounded in real experience.

Dr. Troy Spurrill of the Synapse Center for Health and Healing joins Susie to talk about how to transition well from season to season. Listen to the identity show mentioned here 10 Tips for Healthy Hope-filled Living Eat the Rainbow: Include a variety of colorful fruits and veggies at every meal. Not only is it healthy, but it's beautiful too. Catch more ZZZ's: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night. This improves health and uses our body's own healing mechanisms. Hydrate: Drink half your weight in ounces per day. This improves your cellular function. Move it: Even 10 minutes of movement can improve both health and mood. Move more, and sit less. Laugh: Laughter is shown to accelerate healing and improve your mental focus and creativity. Find something to laugh about every day.    Love: spend time with people you care about and who care about you in return. Good relationships affect your health and healing. Nature Up: It only takes a few minutes in nature to improve mood. Watch a sunset, walk in the woods, stroll through a garden. Hug it out: Hugs make you happier. Human touch reduces stress, lowers blood pressure and helps stimulate healing. Count Your Blessings: Gratitude and positive thinking have a huge impact on your health and immediately put you in a better mood. Tap into your spiritual side: You are more than flesh and bone. You are a body, soul and spirit that is connected. Each affects the other. Make time for spirit and soul renewal. Dr. Troy's non-profit is State of Grace Foundation. Find out more here.

Das Backwaren- und Guetzli-Imperium Hug feiert ein Rekordjahr, getragen von Schweizer Qualität und teuren Rohstoffen. Doch dieses Erfolgsrezept wird im Ausland zur Hürde, wie die Chefin Anna Hug erklärt. Und: Im Guetzli-Markt haben Innovationen kaum Chancen. In der Schweiz ist Hug mit Kultmarken wie Wernli, Willisauer Ringli und Dar-Vida so erfolgreich wie nie und feiert ein Rekordjahr. Der Luzerner Backwarenhersteller hat 2025 einen Umsatz von 136 Millionen Franken erzielt. Das ist ein Wachstum von 4 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Doch der Erfolg zeigt ein paradoxes Gesicht: Was hierzulande als teures Qualitätsversprechen funktioniert, wird jenseits der Grenze zum Verhängnis. Gerade der Bestseller Dar-Vida scheiterte im Ausland kläglich. Co-Geschäftsführerin Anna Hug über ein Geschäftsmodell, das am Heimmarkt glänzt, aber international an seine Grenzen stösst. Und: Welches ist das erfolgreichste Guetzli und wie will sich das Unternehmen gegen die harte inländische und ausländische Konkurrenz behaupten? Anna Hug ist zu Gast bei David Karasek.

I recently attended a screening of this 2025 documentary about book banning efforts and the librarians on the front lines. I love books.....obviously. I love librarians. I have a bestie who is a librarian. Libraries are nurturing communities. Go watch this documentary. Host a party. Invite friends. Hug a librarian. They are fighting for your right to learn. Book banning seems so archaic and certainly fear based......but here we are again. Let me know what you think. Also, we are of course wanting to do episodes on as many of the 850 books on the list as we can. What are your favorites?

Que se passe-t-il derrière les murs des Établissements de la plaine de lʹOrbe, le plus grand complexe pénitentiaire de Suisse? Plus de 330 détenus y purgent des peines de longue durée, dans un univers fermé ou semi-fermé, régi par des règles strictes et des routines immuables. Mais derrière les barreaux, il y a des hommes, des parcours, des silences et des espoirs. Une réalité soustraite aux regards et rarement accessible aux médias. Comment les détenus qui purgent de longues peines ferme vivent-ils la détention au quotidien? Quelles réflexions mènent-ils sur leurs actes passés? Comment le personnel pénitentiaire envisage-t-il son accompagnement? Une immersion brute et sans fard au cœur de la prison, là où le temps semble suspendu.

Imagine being told you have a terminal illness. Would it change the way you approach each day? Two years ago, Thad Reichley went to the doctor because he had the flu. When initial attempts to address his symptoms were unsuccessful, additional procedures revealed the presence of three dozen tumors in the lining around his lungs. He was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma. There is no known cure for the disease. A father, husband, educator, and pro-level endurance athlete, Thad's “job” over the past 24 months has been to fight cancer and stay alive. In addition to his treatments' side effects (fever, vomiting, inflammation of the eyes, and savage bouts of colitis), Thad has learned to navigate the negative “you are not enough" voices in his head. He's also come to change his expectations about what makes a good day. “Sometimes” he says, that while trying to carpe every diem, “just walking the dog has to be enough.” Thad and I know each other through his wife, Leigh, who was my colleague on the sales team at Facebook in LA. She's a very funny, very committed person who, as you will hear, is no stranger to cancer. I am grateful to Thad for sharing his story and hope it inspires YOU to go to the doctor if you haven't been in a while. As importantly, I hope that it reminds you to cherish and protect your health and loved ones for as long as you have them. Here's how Thad sums it all up: 1. Go to the doctor 2. Listen to your wife 3. Hug your kids, and 4. Tell the people in your life you love them. Prior to his diagnosis, Thad spent two decades as an educator, both as a teacher and an administrator at well-known schools like Crossroads in Santa Monica and Mark Day School in Marin County. He earned his BA at the University of Washington, Master's degrees from both UCLA and Brown University, and his doctorate from the University of Southern California. ✍️Please rate and review Reasonably Happy (https://ratethispodcast.com/paulopod) ✍️

EPISODE 18: Life Lessons From My Pitbull : Saying Goodbye to a Pet This episode is a love letter to my dog, Carlin Joseph Peluso, the happiest pitbull on Earth and the longest relationship I've ever had. As I prepare to say goodbye, I reflect on the weird, beautiful process of anticipatory grief and the lessons he's taught me about loyalty, joy, and letting go. It's funny, raw, and full of love because that's what he gave me every single day. In this episode, I share:– What it's like to prepare for loss before it happens– What pets teach us about love, trust, and living in the moment– Why every new loss is a chance to release an old one– The joy and chaos of owning a pitbull– And how to find laughter, even in heartbreak
