You're not alone if you have tough, scary, horrible thoughts after ending a wanted pregnancy, terminating a wanted pregnancy, having an abortion for medical reasons. When you've lost a baby in pregnancy after a horrible prenatal diagnosis, of course not all your thoughts are cheery and light.In this episode I talk about some hard thoughts you may be struggling with, and a safe space you could join if you'd like someone to hold you through it.The thoughts that keep you up at 3am after TFMR aren't talked about in regular grief spaces. They're too raw, too complex, too misunderstood. But having these thoughts doesn't make you a monster… it makes you HUMAN.In this solo episode, I share 5 of the toughest thoughts TFMR parents carry, from hoping your baby would die naturally to realizing there's no safe time in pregnancy. These aren't easy to hear, but if you've had them, you need to know you're not alone and you're not broken. We hold these thoughts together because that's the only way they become bearable.Special holiday support package with a 1:1 session AND "Peace of Mind: Audio mindfulness program for TFMR parents" here: https://www.thetfmrdoula.com/holiday-supportSTART 1on1 SUPPORT NOW:

Some stories don't arrive all at once. They surface slowly, across years, places, and moments that don't seem connected—until suddenly, they are. In this episode, one listener takes us through a lifetime marked by strange interruptions in the ordinary: nights where sleep refused to come until something unexplained intervened, roads and bridges that felt wrong long before anything actually happened, and workplaces where unseen presences seemed far too invested in how things were done. What makes this story unsettling isn't just the encounters themselves—it's how casually they slipped into everyday life, as if whatever was there never meant to frighten… just to be noticed. Helpful? Maybe. Judgmental? Possibly. Human? That's up for debate. This is a story about patterns, persistence, and the uneasy feeling that some forces don't fade with time—they adapt. And sometimes, the most unsettling encounters aren't dramatic at all. They're quiet. Routine. And very particular about how things should be. #RealGhostStories #TrueParanormal #HauntedLives #UnexplainedEncounters #ListenerStories #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStory #EverydayHauntings #CreepyButTrue #GhostlyExperiences Love real ghost stories?

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg was built to educate Canadians about stories of global injustice. Yet in the more than 10 years since it opened, it has not meaningfully acknowledged the dispossession of Palestinians in 1948 that resulted from the founding of Israel. But now the CMHR has announced an exhibit titled Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present to launch next year. Jonah Corne is an associate professor in the department of English, Theatre, Film and Media at the University of Manitoba. He joins us to talk about the significance of this move.

This episode covers: • Trump Drug Pricing Deals and Access to Longevity Medications New drug-pricing agreements announced under President Donald Trump aim to lower the cost of high-priced prescription drugs through negotiated rebates and pricing pressure on major pharmaceutical companies. Early reporting suggests these changes could affect cardiometabolic and longevity-relevant medications, including GLP-1 diabetes and obesity drugs. Dave explains why the real question is not headline savings, but whether lower prices actually reach patients at the pharmacy counter. He breaks down how affordability shapes real-world access, adherence, and long-term prevention strategies, and why policy decisions can matter more than new mechanisms when it comes to sustainable longevity care. Source: https://longevity.technology/news/trump-sets-new-drug-pricing-deals-with-big-pharma/ • 5:2 Intermittent Fasting Outperforms Daily Dieting on Metabolic Health A controlled study compared three popular strategies in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes: 5:2 intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, and continuous daily calorie restriction. All approaches improved weight and HbA1c, but the 5:2 protocol produced larger reductions in fasting glucose, triglycerides, and insulin resistance. Dave explains why periodic restriction can outperform constant dieting, how to structure fasting days without tanking performance, and how to pair intermittent fasting with CGM data and training schedules for better metabolic flexibility and long-term health. Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/07/250715043351.htm Full paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-32673-9 • Cocoa's Theobromine Linked to Slower Epigenetic Aging New research highlighted by Aging-US suggests that theobromine, a bioactive compound found in cocoa, is associated with epigenetic markers of slower biological aging. Dave breaks down what epigenetic aging clocks actually measure, why this finding adds credibility to cocoa's cardiometabolic benefits, and why most chocolate products cancel out the upside with sugar and ultra-processing. He explains how to think about food-derived bioactives without turning them into hype-driven anti-aging shortcuts. Source: https://www.aging-us.com/news-room/theobromine-from-cocoa-linked-to-slower-biological-aging • Organ-Specific Biological Age Clocks Predict Disease Risk More Accurately A large Nature study built biological aging clocks for individual organs using blood-based proteomics, showing that organ-specific aging predicts disease and mortality better than a single “bio age” number. Dave explains why you can be biologically young overall but still have an aging brain, arteries, or kidneys, and how this reframes longevity from generic anti-aging to targeted organ protection. He explores how sleep, blood pressure, glucose control, and exercise map differently to different organs, and why precision aging metrics are the future of prevention. Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-025-01016-8 • Copper Peptides and the Rise of Skin Longevity Copper peptides like GHK-Cu are moving from niche skincare into serious longevity conversations. Human data show strong effects on collagen synthesis, barrier repair, and wound healing, in some cases outperforming traditional retinoids. Dave explains why skin is not just cosmetic but a key immune and environmental interface, how copper peptides fit into repair-focused protocols, and why cycling repair and stress mirrors smarter approaches to training and recovery across the body.

“Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 The book of Joshua stands at a hinge in Israel's history. The wilderness years end, the promises to Abraham begin to unfold in full view, and the people of God cross a boundary that is both geographical and spiritual. Joshua teaches us that the living God is not an abstraction, a fairy tale or myth. He guides, commands, judges, and saves. Human action is sometimes God's means to achieve His will, but human strength is never the source. The story moves forward because God keeps His word. Again and again Joshua confronts us with this truth. The Jordan does not part until the priests step into the waters. Jericho's walls fall by obedience rather than force. Israel's presumption at Ai yields defeat, and humility restores what pride had lost. Each scene presses the same lesson into the heart. Trust in God is not passive. It is a posture of obedience and submission, taken in the confidence that the Lord Himself goes before His people. Nowhere is this clearer than at the threshold of Jericho. Joshua encounters a mysterious warrior with drawn sword, who identifies Himself as Captain of the Lord's armies. Joshua falls on his face. He removes his sandals. The ground is holy. The One who spoke to Moses from the burning bush now stands before Joshua as Commander. The battle that follows is not Israel's achievement. It is the Lord's, just as he promised. This moment reveals the true theme of the book. The comes through God's presence. He is not simply giving Israel a land. He is forming a people who know Him, follow Him, and entrust their future to His faithfulness. They were to be God's messenger (malak) to the nations, the means to return exiled humanity to Himself. Near the end Joshua gathers the tribes at Shechem and places the decision before them with absolute clarity. “Choose this day whom you will serve.” That call is not merely ancient. It is perennial. Every generation must decide whether to trust the Lord who keeps His promises or to follow the idols of its age. Joshua concludes on a quiet and triumphant note. The Lord gave Israel rest. Not one of His promises failed. May this reading help us see the same God at work in our own lives, faithful in every generation, leading His people into the inheritance He has prepared.

What is the Jewish response to existential threat? Is political activism, investment in physical security and self protection the Jewish response? Is increased prayer and good deeds enough, to the exclusion of all else?Using the biblical record of Yaakov's response to Esav in his moment of danger, the Purim story, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe's response to the 1954 massacre in Kfar Chabad, we explore when it is a time to grieve, when it is a time to pray, and when it is a time to mobilize to confront the realities of our world.Episode dedicated to the Refuah Sheleima, the complete healing, of Yehudah Leib Ben Manya._____To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.

Jack Swift is a West Point graduate, former CEO of TIFIN and Liminal Collective, and co-founder of Pacific Current Group and Sangha. He now advises frontier AI ventures, including Vantage Discovery (sold to Shopify), Brightwave, and Grid Aero, and co-founded Sangha, a community for conscious leadership. In this episode, Jack explains why the biggest threat to your organization isn't outside pressure. It's your need to be right. He shows why old leadership habits—command and control, chasing quarterly targets, and relying only on past wins—no longer work. He offers a different approach built on deep listening, less ego, and faster instincts. Jack talks about the blind spots he sees on boards, from big companies ignoring rapid change to startups burning cash to prove a point. He also shares how to spot the moment when governance stops supporting durability and starts blocking innovation—and what to do before bureaucracy kills your edge. Listen to this episode to learn how to drop old frameworks, trust your gut, and build a learning culture that works with AI instead of fighting it.

Watch this Episode on YouTube | Jack Swift on Letting Go of Old Frameworks https://bit.ly/TLP-491 Key Takeaways [02:28] Jack shares that stopping drinking a few years ago has been "incredibly clarifying" for his decision making and presence as a leader. [05:19] Jack shares how his perspective on leadership has evolved from military to entrepreneurship to board service. [10:11] Jack emphasizes three critical elements that make an effective independent board director: maintaining independence to evaluate organizational health, stepping into conflict early, and the ability to "look around corners" and anticipate future disruption. [15:07] Jack identifies the biggest blind spot for larger companies and the biggest blind spot for early-stage companies and founders. [19:26] Jack reflects on how his experiences as an entrepreneur shaped how he evaluates opportunities and risks. [21:48] Jack reflects on something 18 years ago that helped him learn without screwing up. [23:00] Jack discusses the role of ego versus intuition in leadership. [25:34] Jack defines governance in highly regulated industries like insurance and financial services versus the AI space. [29:56] Jack agrees AI works best in regulated spaces because "machine based learning and models work really well in systems, rules based systems" where regulatory review "may have taken humans six months to do, it can be done in like six minutes." [33:16] Jack describes how Boulder's ecosystem has influenced his approach to leadership and growth. [36:35] Jack advises traditional industry leaders to "let go of old frameworks" and "be open to how it might be done" because entrenched industries are "specifically ripe for innovation and disruption." [37:36] Jack says one piece of advice for leaders navigating uncertainty today. He explains why whole-body listening matters for the future of leadership. [41:19] And remember..."I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor." - Henry David Thoreau Quotable Quotes "Leaders make decisions and they look for and create alignment within an organization." "The need to be right is the biggest blind spot. Taking the position that I want to be right, I'm gonna burn capital to show the world that I'm right is a very risky way to go about your business." "I made a lot of mistakes. I screwed a lot of things up. Sometimes because I didn't know any better, sometimes because I let my ego make decisions, and sometimes because I was relying on old frameworks that just wouldn't work anymore." "Your go mind shouldn't always drive the car. Sometimes you need to put instinct in the driver's seat and let your brain be the passenger." "Let go of old frameworks. Don't think you know better. Work on self awareness, work on your personal growth edges. Better at you is better at what you do." "Listen with your whole body. Your body knows—that's your gut, your instinct, your intuition. The faster you can listen, receive, and act, the faster you'll be able to go." "Human beings are the only species that can imagine infinite future potentials and bring them into reality. That creative capability is uniquely human and incredibly special." Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by | www.darley.com Rafti Advisors.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Christmas Eve, the end of Advent, is a day of much joyous expectation, with families gathered in a Silent and Holy Night. It's the anticipation of the arrival of the Savior of the Human race, the Light of the World.The liturgy proclaims, "Today you shall know that the Lord shall come and tomorrow you shall see His glory."Throughout Advent, we have seen how the preparation for Jesus' coming was heralded by Isaiah, John the Baptist, and the Virgin Mother.The King of Kings, according to His human nature, was born at Bethlehem of the Virgin Mary and conceived of the Spirit of holiness.Since our first parents were cast forth from the earthly paradise, the gate of eternity was closed. The Redeemer alone opens this door and enters in. On Christmas Eve, we stand before the gate of paradise, as the Psalm 23 of the vigil states,Lift up your gates, O princes,Open wide, eternal gates,That the King of Glory may enter inWith a quiet mind, we devote ourselves to the great mystery of the Holy Night, with our prayer, the Christmas carols, and the tradition of the exchange of gifts, after the Christ-Child has been placed in the manger in Bethlehem.Then on Midnight Mass, we can concentrate on the Greatest Gift given to all: the love of Christ.Ave MariaCome, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

On the podcast, we talk about the ways we live in and with data, as well as the ways data shape our lives and our politics. Public discourse around data is often wrapped up in the negative ways it can impact our lives. A movement among statisticians, data scientists, and other researchers shows the positive impacts of data when used to work towards solutions to humanitarian problems. The data for good movement is a focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest David Corliss. David Corliss is the founder and director of Peace Work, a volunteer cooperative of statisticians and data scientists applying statistical methods to issue-driven advocacy. Human trafficking research is a major initiative at Peace Work. Corliss is also a research scholar and a member of the Global Association of Human Trafficking Scholars.

“Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 The book of Joshua stands at a hinge in Israel's history. The wilderness years end, the promises to Abraham begin to unfold in full view, and the people of God cross a boundary that is both geographical and spiritual. Joshua teaches us that the living God is not an abstraction, a fairy tale or myth. He guides, commands, judges, and saves. Human action is sometimes God's means to achieve His will, but human strength is never the source. The story moves forward because God keeps His word. Again and again Joshua confronts us with this truth. The Jordan does not part until the priests step into the waters. Jericho's walls fall by obedience rather than force. Israel's presumption at Ai yields defeat, and humility restores what pride had lost. Each scene presses the same lesson into the heart. Trust in God is not passive. It is a posture of obedience and submission, taken in the confidence that the Lord Himself goes before His people. Nowhere is this clearer than at the threshold of Jericho. Joshua encounters a mysterious warrior with drawn sword, who identifies Himself as Captain of the Lord's armies. Joshua falls on his face. He removes his sandals. The ground is holy. The One who spoke to Moses from the burning bush now stands before Joshua as Commander. The battle that follows is not Israel's achievement. It is the Lord's, just as he promised. This moment reveals the true theme of the book. The comes through God's presence. He is not simply giving Israel a land. He is forming a people who know Him, follow Him, and entrust their future to His faithfulness. They were to be God's messenger (malak) to the nations, the means to return exiled humanity to Himself. Near the end Joshua gathers the tribes at Shechem and places the decision before them with absolute clarity. “Choose this day whom you will serve.” That call is not merely ancient. It is perennial. Every generation must decide whether to trust the Lord who keeps His promises or to follow the idols of its age. Joshua concludes on a quiet and triumphant note. The Lord gave Israel rest. Not one of His promises failed. May this reading help us see the same God at work in our own lives, faithful in every generation, leading His people into the inheritance He has prepared.

In this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, second edit ofthis special series dedicacted to AI, I'm delighted to welcome Navrina Singh, Founder and CEO of Credo AI, and one of the most influential voices shaping the future of responsible artificial intelligence. Navrina is a technology leader with nearly two decades of experience at Qualcomm and Microsoft, and today she stands at the crossroads of AI, leadership, and public policy. She advises governments and global institutions on AI governance, serves on the U.S. National AI Advisory Committee, works with the United Nations and the OECD, and was recently named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI. In our conversation, Navrina shares her remarkable journey — from growing up in India in a family that instilled resilience and courage, to moving to the United States at 19, and eventually becoming a global advocate for trust, accountability, and human values in AI. We explore the pivotal moment when she realized that AI systems were making women and other groups “invisible,” and how that awakening shaped her mission. Together, we discuss why the real risks of AI are not about the power of the technology itself, but about the absence of governance, measurement, and responsibility. Navrina also explains why she founded Credo AI in the middle of a global pandemic, and how her company is helping organizations turn AI ethics into practical, measurable, and auditable systems of trust. We dive into the evolution of global AI governance, the importance of diversity in AI development, and the leadership mindsets required to thrive in an AI-driven world. Throughout the episode, Navrina reminds us that AI will inevitably reflect the values of those who build it, and that positive leadership — grounded in empathy, accountability, and courage — is essential if we want AI to truly serve humanity. This conversation is for leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and anyone who believes technology must be guided by purpose, trust, and human-centered values. I hope you'll enjoy this deep and inspiring conversation with Navrina Singh. To extend the conversation, I invite you to revisit three previous episodes of the Positive Leadership Podcast:  Peggy Johnson: Leading a Human-Centric Future of AI and Robotics https://www.jpcourtois.com/podcast/peggy-johnson-leading-a-human-centric-future-of-ai-and-robotics  Human centric AI (with Rana el Kaliouby): https://www.jpcourtois.com/podcast/human-centric-ai-with-rana-el-kaliouby  How to fail well (with Amy Edmondson): https://www.jpcourtois.com/podcast/how-to-fail-well-with-amy-edmondson  Subscribe now to JP's free monthly newsletter "Positive Leadership and You" on LinkedIn to transform your positive impact today: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/positive-leadership-you-6970390170017669121/

What if the year ahead isn't something you survive but something you intentionally design? As we close out this MAXOUT Your Mind Masterclass series, I want to talk to you about something that might be the most important skill you can develop going into 2026: designing your life on purpose. Too many people drift into a new year hoping things change instead of deciding what they will change. In this final masterclass, I walk you through how to step back, take inventory of your life, and consciously choose what stays, what goes, and what gets rebuilt. I break down the difference between inventing and reinventing your life and why both matter. Your body is constantly renewing itself, shedding old cells and rebuilding new ones. Your mind and spirit deserve the same intentional renewal. I challenge you to stop living on autopilot and start asking better questions. What do you want to feel when you wake up? What kind of progress excites you? What are you actually looking forward to? Because progress creates power, and having something meaningful to move toward is one of the greatest sources of happiness we have. We also talk about why living fully present does not mean abandoning the future. Human beings need something to look forward to. I explain why growth, momentum, and forward vision fuel fulfillment and how chasing progress releases more joy than the moment of achievement itself. If you feel stuck, bored, or disconnected, it might not be because something is wrong with you. It might be because you stopped designing your life and started repeating it. This episode goes deeper into what real happiness and fulfillment actually are. Happiness is fleeting. Fulfillment is lasting. I introduce the concept of blissful dissatisfaction, which allows you to love your life today while still being hungry to grow. We talk about self worth, identity, vulnerability, and why you must be willing to fully engage with your dreams even when there is risk. Playing small protects nothing and costs everything. As you head into 2026, this is your invitation to become the co author of your life again. You are not behind. You are not broken. You are capable of more than you think. This masterclass will help you raise your standards, renew your mindset, and step into the next chapter with clarity, courage, and conviction. The year ahead does not need to be a repeat of the last one. You get to design it. Key Takeaways Why designing your life is a responsibility, not a luxury The difference between happiness and fulfillment and how to build both How progress and growth create lasting motivation and joy What blissful dissatisfaction really means and why it prevents burnout How self worth, vulnerability, and identity shape your results Practical questions to help you intentionally design your best year yet This is the foundation for 2026.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers explores with Jason Prall how mitochondrial health and the gut microbiome are deeply connected, shaping energy, inflammation, and long-term resilience. You'll learn why mitochondria are far more than energy producers and how their communication drives whole-body health.   In this episode, you'll discover how the microbiome helps translate food into signals that influence mitochondrial function, metabolism, and cellular repair.

“Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 The book of Joshua stands at a hinge in Israel's history. The wilderness years end, the promises to Abraham begin to unfold in full view, and the people of God cross a boundary that is both geographical and spiritual. Joshua teaches us that the living God is not an abstraction, a fairy tale or myth. He guides, commands, judges, and saves. Human action is sometimes God's means to achieve His will, but human strength is never the source. The story moves forward because God keeps His word. Again and again Joshua confronts us with this truth. The Jordan does not part until the priests step into the waters. Jericho's walls fall by obedience rather than force. Israel's presumption at Ai yields defeat, and humility restores what pride had lost. Each scene presses the same lesson into the heart. Trust in God is not passive. It is a posture of obedience and submission, taken in the confidence that the Lord Himself goes before His people. Nowhere is this clearer than at the threshold of Jericho. Joshua encounters a mysterious warrior with drawn sword, who identifies Himself as Captain of the Lord's armies. Joshua falls on his face. He removes his sandals. The ground is holy. The One who spoke to Moses from the burning bush now stands before Joshua as Commander. The battle that follows is not Israel's achievement. It is the Lord's, just as he promised. This moment reveals the true theme of the book. The comes through God's presence. He is not simply giving Israel a land. He is forming a people who know Him, follow Him, and entrust their future to His faithfulness. They were to be God's messenger (malak) to the nations, the means to return exiled humanity to Himself. Near the end Joshua gathers the tribes at Shechem and places the decision before them with absolute clarity. “Choose this day whom you will serve.” That call is not merely ancient. It is perennial. Every generation must decide whether to trust the Lord who keeps His promises or to follow the idols of its age. Joshua concludes on a quiet and triumphant note. The Lord gave Israel rest. Not one of His promises failed. May this reading help us see the same God at work in our own lives, faithful in every generation, leading His people into the inheritance He has prepared.

The Artifact Research Foundation conducts archaeological, metrological, and historical research to explore the technological capabilities of prehistoric human cultures.​Human evolution is long and mysterious.  Today, we know very little about our ancient ancestors, save for stories passed down through time.  Physical remains of archaic human civilization may seem elusive, yet modern forensic methods can uncover more than we ever thought possible.​We approach forensic archaeology from a multi-disciplinary perspective.  The world's biggest story is also the world's biggest mystery.  To unlock it requires a different approach.  Our researchers come from diverse fields such as Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Manufacturing, Geology, Computer Science, History, Art, and Literature.Adam YoungFounder and ResearcherAdam is an independent researcher with a background in mathematical statistics. Over the past decade, he has researched ancient artifacts throughout the world, most notably in Egypt. He was the first researcher to apply modern Metrology to analyze predynastic stone vessels in a controlled setting. With the help of other dedicated professionals, he founded the Artifact Research Foundation to study advanced machining in ancient Egypt and elsewhere. Members of the foundation have diverse backgrounds, but are united in a common purpose:  to analyze, document, and publish results to help further our understanding of ancient cultures.https://www.artifactfoundation.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
