This week, join us for the 5th episode of our collaboration with Inspiring Minds, a campus-wide partnership between Western Research, the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, the Writing Support Centre, Western Libraries, Student Experience and Western's 11 faculties. Inspiring Minds seeks to broaden awareness and impact of graduate student research while enhancing transferrable skills.  Hosts Maris Schneider and Anthony Cruz sit down with guest Lisa Zhu, a master's student in clinical psychology, to explore the psychological impacts of today's fitness trends that idealize muscularity. Lisa's research investigates the often-overlooked connection between fitness ideals and food-related behaviours, revealing how disordered eating can be masked as "healthy" habits. She sheds light on how these unrealistic muscular ideals perpetuate harmful perceptions of health, especially among men, whose experiences with body image and disordered eating are frequently ignored. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional ideas of fitness and wellness. Check out Lisa's Inspiring Minds showcase here! Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of body image and disordered eating. Recorded on April 8, 2025. Produced by Anthony Cruz.

Dr. Hannah Spier, a psychiatrist from Zurich, Switzerland, calls herself an "anti-feminist psychiatrist.” We delve into the complexities of women's mental health, particularly how feminist ideologies can lead to feelings of inadequacy and burnout. Hannah shares her insights from years of treating women who often find themselves stuck in therapy, grappling with anxiety and unfulfilled desires, particularly around relationships and motherhood.We explore the concept of dating with intention, emphasizing the importance for women of knowing what we want while we still retain the advantages of youth. Hannah discusses the common patterns she sees in her patients, such as the pressure to achieve academically while neglecting emotional needs, which can lead to a cycle of anxiety and dissatisfaction. We also touch on the societal expectations placed on women and how these can create a disconnect between their true desires and their life choices.Throughout our conversation, we challenge the notion of self-esteem and discuss the role of gratitude in overcoming resentment. Hannah argues that understanding the realities of both women's and men's experiences can help shift perspectives and foster healthier relationships. This episode aims to provoke thought about the choices women make and the societal narratives that shape those choices, ultimately encouraging listeners to reflect on their own paths and desires.Hannah Spier is a Norwegian-born medical doctor trained in Psychiatry in Norway and Switzerland, with a degree in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy from the University of Zurich. Now based in Zurich with her husband and three children, she launched the Psychobabble publication and podcast in October 2022 to challenge postmodern influences and champion traditional values in the mental health field.YouTube: @psychobabblewithspierPsychobabble Substack 00:00 Start[00:01:27] Anti-feminist psychiatrist explained.[00:07:26] Biological clock and priorities shift.[00:11:08] Success redefined for mothers.[00:14:06] Choices and leverage for women.[00:20:18] Biological realities of women's choices.[00:25:46] Antidote to resentment is gratitude.[00:30:00] Narcissism and self-perception.[00:34:48] Resentment in motherhood and relationships.[00:36:10] Women's relationship goals and challenges.[00:43:34] Choosing the right partner.[00:48:05] Evolutionary psychology and motherhood.[00:52:17] Dating with intention.[00:54:23] Postmodernism's impact on self-improvement.[01:02:27] Expecting more from ourselves.[01:03:21] Flaws in psychiatric treatment.[01:10:06] Maternal instincts and self-care.[01:15:36] Lies of feminism.[01:16:43] Vulnerability and relationship dynamics.[01:22:01] Confusion between love and passion.[01:28:06] Healing from domestic violence.[01:30:14] Maternal instincts and nurturing energy.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

We introduce listeners to Thaddeus Stevens, a significant yet often overlooked figure in American history. As an ardent opponent of slavery, Stevens played crucial roles in the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and led efforts to impeach President Andrew Johnson. Bruce Levine, author of Thaddeus Stevens: Civil War Revolutionary and Fighter for Racial Justice, joins the discussion to provide in-depth insights into Stevens' life, his relentless fight for abolition, equal rights, and free public education, and the powerful legacy he left behind. The episode delves into Steven's contributions, his complex relationship with Abraham Lincoln, and his radical yet unfulfilled vision for racial equality and land redistribution during the Reconstruction era.[00:00] Introduction to a Historical Figure[01:22] Meet the Hosts[02:01] Sponsor Message and Listener Engagement[03:32] Introducing the Guest: Bruce Levine[04:56] Thaddeus Stevens: Early Life and Influences[08:42] Stevens' Political Career and Ideals[18:57] Stevens' Role in the Anti-Slavery Movement[27:07] Sponsor Message and Historical Recording[30:07] Thaddeus Stevens and the Underground Railroad[32:30] Stevens' Political Career and Opposition[36:33] Stevens' Radical Ideas and Reconstruction[43:29] Stevens' Views on Tariffs and Capitalism[46:56] Legacy and Recognition of Thaddeus Stevens[49:13] Conclusion and Final ThoughtsTakeaways: Thaddeus Stevens was a pivotal figure against slavery, known for his radical ideas and determination. Stevens played a crucial role in the passage of the 13th and 14th amendments, pushing for racial equality. Despite his significant contributions, Stevens faced backlash and was often marginalized in historical accounts. His vision for land redistribution to freed slaves, known as '40 acres and a mule,' was ahead of its time but ultimately rejected. Stevens' fierce opposition to President Andrew Johnson's policies showcased his commitment to Reconstruction efforts. His legacy reminds us that true progress often requires bold action and unwavering conviction, even in the face of adversity. Bruce Levine Ph.

If we look hard enough, or far back enough, we are all connected to an immigrant story. Businessman and restaurant owner Andrew Revy drew upon his Hungarian roots to name his successful Lakewood brewery and restaurant, Immigrant Son Brewery. In this episode we talk about how our upbringing and family stories inform and drive us to create and share what we love. In a few weeks ISB will have a sister restaurant called Sofia's Kitchen and Bar (named for his daughter) that will expand on the warm hospitality and good food for which he is known. We talk about award-winning beer, collaborations with other locals, Hungarian food, and the importance of a gathering place open to all.This episode is made possible with support from Edgewater Hospitality and Kate's Fish, two of my "pod partners" and businesses I respect and patronize.

Chris Anderson, head of TED, discusses why the collapse of the ideals of the tech industry over the last 15 years, embodied by the behaviour Elon Musk, represents a crushing disappointment.  Anderson took over TED – which hosts viral talks at its conferences – from its founder Richard Saul Wurman in 2000. He turned the business into a non-profit and has spent years curating its eclectic list of speakers. Anderson discusses why developments in AI technology are terrifying and the future of TED as he plans to step back.

“I never intend to adjust myself to mob rule. I never intend to adjust myself to the tragic effects of the methods of physical violence and to the tragic militarism…God grant that we will be so maladjusted that we will be able to go out and change our world and our civilization …” MLK   In the event of full societal regression, the Agents of Durin had a plan. In its inception it seemed foolproof, but as a practice we realized just how foolish it could be. Trusted positions are flipped and war rooms enraged with the deception of others. With Lindbury in the shadows one last push to gain the realm is the only way forward, and all that we can hope is that the dice rolls lay on our side in episode 63 of Dungeonetics.   Thank you all for listening to our insanely DIY pod.

He has recently been looking into a topic that's dear to our hearts - the role that Chrstianity played in the social evolution of human society for the last two thousand years. Morgan proposes that the Bible goes far beyond the creation of the believer vs nonbeliever - it actually establishes a metaphysical frame for everything that follows, wherein the foundational premise of the death and resurrection of the Crucifixion is intended to be literally *beyond belief.* We explore the social features that are required downstream of this central premise, and how the world we inhabit today is shaped by principles established in a wildly different age.

I "SHOULD" be in better shape.SHOULDThat one word often sabotages the mindset changes we need to make and habit actions we need to take.“I “should” be further along.”Only makes us frustrated and feel broken and like a failure. It doesn't help us learn or want to make more changes.“I “should” workout 6 days a week.” “I “should” track my macros.”Ideals are fabulous. But if you can't do them? We often do NOTHING.We need to, as one of my fabulous coaches says “Stop SHOULDING all over ourselves.”Because when we say all the things that SHOULD be happening, we don't focus on what we actually CAN do.SHOULD prevents us from making a change. I'd encourage you right now to even ask, “Why SHOULD you do this? Why SHOULD you be further along?”Because so often we never really ask this important question.And when we do, we pause to assess what we are actually doing and what we need to move forward. The mindsets we CAN shift and the actions we CAN take.That's why in this video I want to share 3 steps you can take TODAY to honestly create an action plan to move forward toward your goals.The video version of this episode is live on youtube!

In this episode of Let's Talk, Yvie Jones dives into the hidden costs of body dissatisfaction and appearance-based discrimination in Australia. This discussion centres around the ground breaking "Appearance Ideals" report, commissioned by the Butterfly Foundation, to uncover the societal and economic toll of body image concerns. Joining Yvie are Sarah Squire, Head of Knowledge, Research, and Policy at Butterfly Foundation, Elizabeth Clark, a partner and researcher from KPMG and lived experience advocate Evie Gardiner. Together, they explore the staggering statistics behind body dissatisfaction, the widespread impact of appearance-based discrimination, and the urgent need for policy reform. This episode shares how body dissatisfaction affects over four million Australians, leading to significant mental and physical health challenges, economic strain, and social exclusion. The discussion highlights the role of social and cultural pressures, the financial burden of appearance-related expenses, and the intersectional nature of discrimination affecting diverse communities.

Happy birthday Mr. President! Today for George Washington's birthday we invited Washington scholar Craig Bruce Smith to talk about why we still don't have a biopic of the First American, plus Craig's top five presidents ever.About our guest:Craig Bruce Smith is an associate professor of history at National Defense University in the Joint Advanced Warfighting School (JAWS) in Norfolk, VA. He authored American Honor: The Creation of the Nation's Ideals during the Revolutionary Era and co-authored George Washington's Lessons in Ethical Leadership.Smith earned his PhD in American history from Brandeis University.

What if the way we've been reading the Bible has been missing something essential? What if the Scriptures aren't just a collection of propositional truths, but a grand narrative - a story that Jesus Himself used to unveil the deepest realities of the Kingdom of God? That's the argument made by author and storyteller Daniel Schwabauer as we dive into the power of story in this conversation. Dan points us to a pivotal moment in the Gospels - when Jesus tells the parable of the sower in Mark 4. Here, he reveals a secret about the Kingdom, saying "The secret of the Kingdom of God has been given to you." But why parables? Why not just lay out the truth plainly? Well, Jesus was doing something profound - He was inviting His disciples, and us, into a narrative journey. One that requires engagement, interpretation, and the work of the Holy Spirit to truly understand. By recovering this narrative lens, the church can rediscover the true power of the gospel message. It's a fascinating exploration of how the way we communicate shapes what we communicate - and how applying the principles of great storytelling can breathe new life into the ancient story of redemption. Join us as we discover the God of story. Daniel Schwabauer, ThD, teaches English at MidAmerica Nazarene University and writes award-winning fantasy and science fiction novels. He earned an MA in creative writing under science fiction legend James Gunn and completed his doctoral work in semiotic theology with Leonard Sweet.

Ep. #1156 Preparing for World War III – Are We Sleepwalking Into Global Catastrophe? The world is hurtling toward an all-domain conflict unlike anything humanity has ever seen. Are we prepared? Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis, author of Preparing for World War III: A Global Conflict That Redefines Tomorrow, joins Strange Planet to break down the chilling realities of an impending showdown between the West and a rapidly forming “axis of evil” – China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

OUTWEIGH: In the final episode of our series, Leanne sits down with Natalie Borrell of Life Success for Teens to tackle one of the biggest pitfalls facing today’s youth: the constant battle for external validation. With social media, peer pressure, and cultural standards all shouting for attention, teens’ developing brains are especially vulnerable to body comparisons, perfectionism, and crippling self-doubt. In this episode, Natalie and Leanne break down how these external ideals can distort self-image and push teenagers toward dangerous habits with food and beyond. They also share actionable strategies for flipping the script—focusing on inner growth, values, and resilience rather than the quick-fix highs of likes, followers, or fitting a narrow beauty standard. The result? When teens learn to stand in their own worth, the pull to “measure up” fades, and the need to chase approval through their body or appearance naturally loses its grip. If you want to see your teen thrive with genuine self-confidence, rather than frantic comparison-itis, don’t miss this conversation.

Welcome to the new season of Musings. As you've likely noticed from the artwork, Musings is taking a new direction — we're broadening our horizons to consider the idea of "wellbeing" as a whole. What does it mean to be truly "well," physically, mentally, and emotionally?  In this first episode, Charlie Bresler swaps his host chair for the guest chair, and long-time friend and colleague Stacey Black is asking the questions.  Stacey and Charlie discuss the new direction for Musings — the idea of pursuing wellbeing as a whole — and how what Charlie has termed "effective hedonism" plays into his sense of wellness. Also self-confidence, self-efficacy, ideals, pleasure, and conscience all can have roles to play in our ultimate sense of wellbeing. Stacey and Charlie also discuss Charlie's new project, EH Walkers, and how it's a great example of marrying personal pleasure with your values to truly get the most wellbeing bang for your buck.  Musing on Wellbeing is sponsored by EH Walkers.

Kehlan Morgan is  @Formscapes , a philosopher whose work is focused on esoteric science. He brings to the table a great depth of insights about how Goethian and Stienerian metaphysics have silently shaped our approach to understanding nature, and how our abandonment of those metaphysics has produced a kind of science that is both perplexed and incapable. As modern science studies the world, it locks up at the stage of the Experimentum Crucis. Instead of mapping the dizzying variety of experiences, it lasers in on a single proof. Instead of creating a map of the universe that encompasses it's inherently perspectival nature, we attempt to hone it to a fine point. We discuss how this came to be the default approach, how it affects the stories we tell about ourselves and the rest of nature, and how transhumanism - the blending of man and machine - is the inherent, disastrous outcome of this approach.

When season seven started in January of 2024, we set out to explore the progress and challenges in building a more equitable society. Anchored by milestone anniversaries -- Brown v. Board of Education (70th), Freedom Summer (60th), and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (60th) -- we discussed judicial diversity, justice reform, education, and voting rights, among other issues. Reflecting on these themes months later, we see glimmers of progress but are reminded that the work of building an America as good as its ideals is far from linear. This episode will consider what's been accomplished in about a year's time since our earlier podcast conversations this season. We will also discuss the work that remains with Leadership Conference advocates who work tirelessly to push the arc of the moral universe toward justice.

Send us a textAre your goals holding you back? Chasing perfection can feel overwhelming—but what if the secret to real progress is starting small? In today's episode, Kevin and Alan reveal why aiming for “realistic” goals beats striving for the “ideal” every time. From crafting morning routines that stick to exploring how self-worth shapes comparisons, this conversation offers actionable tips to build habits that genuinely work. Join us for a relatable and encouraging discussion packed with humor, honesty, and practical strategies for holistic self-improvement.Links mentioned:Subscribe  - https://www.buzzsprout.com/742955/shareNext Level Book Club Registration - https://bit.ly/42E4n8M______________________NLU is not just a podcast; it's a gateway to a wealth of resources designed to help you achieve your goals and dreams.

Brother Phap Luu, the eldest non-Vietnamese American monk in the Plum Village tradition, graduated from Dartmouth College and started meditating after going through a depression.  "What is more satisfying in life than helping people to transform their suffering? I mean, who cares about money and all this other stuff? The biggest happiness I get is if I can help myself, first of all, but others to transform suffering in a real way. My goodness, if we can do that with only a few people in our life, that's already worth a lifetime, right?"

This podcast episode, Meet the Monastics, hosted by Brother Minh An from Deer Park Monastery, introduces Brother Phap Luu (Brother Stream), the most senior non-Vietnamese American monastic in the Plum Village tradition. Brother Phap Luu shares his transformative journey, including his struggles with identity, community, and purpose before encountering the Dharma.  Early Life and Search for Meaning: Growing up in Connecticut, Brother Phap Luu studied English literature at Dartmouth College. He explored anarchist movements in Europe and lived in organic farming communities, experiencing both inspiration and disillusionment. These experiences deepened his inquiry into suffering, community, and personal transformation. Meeting Spiritual Teachers: His encounter with a Western teacher and later Thích Nhất Hạnh (Thầy) provided clarity and inspiration. The advice, “Don't be a Buddhist; be the Buddha,” profoundly influenced his approach to the path. Discovering Mindfulness Practice: Practicing the Four Establishments of Mindfulness during a difficult period helped him overcome depression and cultivate joy. This marked the beginning of his commitment to mindfulness and monastic life. Becoming a Monastic: Ordained in 2003 at Plum Village, France, Brother Phap Luu describes monastic life as a profound practice of non-self and community living. He values the precepts and ethics as foundational to transformation and expresses gratitude for Thầy's teachings and legacy. Community and Projects: Known for his boundless energy, Brother Phap Luu has contributed to initiatives like Wake Up for young practitioners, the Happy Farm, and hiking and science retreats. He reflects on balancing projects with mindfulness, cultivating non-attachment, and fostering harmony in the Sangha. Role of Monastics: Brother Phap Luu emphasizes the importance of monastics in balancing collective energy in society. He highlights the need for mindfulness, non-ideological approaches, and cultivating community harmony to address modern challenges like polarization and ecological crises.

Frederick Douglass' 1852 speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” remains one of the defining rebukes to the work of the Founders.  While Douglass admired the ideals of the Founders, their inability to extend their precepts of liberty to people of color Douglass considered a breach of the promise of America.  Frederick Douglass scholar and performer Nathan Richardson talks with us about Douglass' use of the founding ideals to fight for the emancipation of people of color and the absolute abolition of slavery.Nathan Richardson is a published author, performance poet, and Frederick Douglass Historian.Tell us what you think!

Delson Armstrong is a spiritual teacher, meditation virtuoso, and author of ‘A Mind Without Craving'. In this interview, Delson renounces all of his previous claims to spiritual attainment. Delson details recent changes in his inner experiences that saw him question the nature of his awakening, including the arising of emotions and desires that he thought had long been expunged.
