Why is the sky blue? Why do only birds get to fly? Is there a God? And if so, why does God let bad things happen? Why do people die? It's natural for children to ask questions, big and small. But too often, adults brush off such questions as an annoyance, or scold kids for being rude, or even respond to their asking with punishment. When that happens, many children stop asking and grow up to become adults who believe it's safer to stay quiet and squelch their inherent, and essential, sense of wonder.A deeply personal memoir and richly insightful, empowering guide, THE WILD WHY interweaves stories, awakenings, and lessons with teachings, exercises of exploration, and calls to action for the reader to find their own wild why. At the heart of it all is wonder. What is wonder anyway? As Laura Munson explains, wonder is what even cynics feel and think when they see a rainbow: curiosity mixed with awe. And because the experience is universal, wonder drives empathy.Following Laura Munson's evolution as a writer and a wonderer through life's unexpected turns, including success and divorce, THE WILD WHY also welcomes readers to come along on her travels to wonderful places all over the world. From the woods of Montana, to a hammam in Morocco, to hill towns in Mexico and Tuscany, to an ancient stone circle in Ireland…we revel in what she receives: the ability to surrender, the power of kindness, and a greater appreciation for life's mysteries, the universe, others, and, yes, herself. THE WILD WHY affirms a universal truth - as Laura Munson attests: “We're all creative! Every act of living is creative. Every step we take, every choice we make, every word that comes out of our mouth—it's all an act of creation!” What could be more wonderful than that?

A beautiful and compelling family memoir retracing the love story between Sabrin Hasbun's Palestinian father and Italian mother, and the life of her half-Italian, half-Palestinian family from the 1960s to 2020. After the loss of her mother, Sabrin tries to renegotiate her mixed identity and understand her mother's choices which led her from an oppressive childhood in a village in Tuscany to finding love and community activism in Palestine. This is a story about overcoming grief and what it means to lose not only loved ones, but also a place in the world and a sense of belonging. Sabrin Hasbun was born in Palestine, spent her childhood in Palestine and Italy, and now lives in the UK.

This episode features our live audience conversation with members of FORTH Club in Atlanta, GA and Nicola Lenci, the co-owner of Fattoria di Magliano, a winery located in the Maremma region of Tuscany. Nicola has been working at the estate since 2010, first in the vineyards and later in the cellar. He became an AIS Sommelier and started traveling, mainly North America, Germany and the UK, as the National Sales Manager of Fattoria di Magliano. Additionally, he currently is the Export Manager of the company and also the assistant winemaker. Nicola brought a flight of 4 of his family's wines to share with us while talking about his family's history, their experience starting a winery business, and their dedication to hospitality in the wine industry. We dive deep into what makes the region so unique, and you'll hear some interesting insights about Italian wine classifications and the estate's specific growing conditions. In 1996, Nicola's father, Agostino Lenci - a fashion professional - turned his passion for wine into a business by investing in a 97-hectare property. At the time, Maremma was not recognized for producing high quality wines, but Lenci endeavored to bring notoriety to this little-known wine-producing region situated a mere 10 miles from the Tyrrhenian coast in southeastern Tuscany. His vision was realized a few years later when Maremma Toscana was granted DOC status by the Italian government. Now at the estate, there is a restaurant serving local cuisine as well as a boutique inn with 30 guest rooms and a swimming pool overlooking the rolling hills. Our audience brought such a great energy of curiosity to this episode, and there was a line that formed behind the mic when we opened it up for the live Q&A at the end of the episode. Recorded May 13, 2025-----------------Our presenting sponsor for May is The Monticello Wine Trail in Virginia. The Monticello Wine Trail proudly announces Monticello Wine Week, an immersive celebration of Virginia's premier wine region, taking place from June 5-8, 2025.

In this 17-minute episode, I explore the deep emotional impact of body comments and the silent shame many of us carry around our appearance.Drawing from my work as a mental health professional, personal conversations, and my brother's powerful transformation story, we dive into how societal standards, cultural conditioning, and generational wounds shape our relationship with our bodies.We unpack the emotional weight of seemingly innocent comments, the lack of body literacy in areas like menstruation and perimenopause, and why healing requires safe, supportive community.I also share how our upcoming Tuscany retreat is designed to help women reconnect with their bodies, food, and inner wisdom...with love, not judgment.This episode is an invitation to reclaim your body, rewrite the story, and feel safe in your own skin.♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets.

Marie-Louise Sciò is CEO of the Pellicano Hotels group in Italy, which today comprises Hotel Il Pellicano in Porto Ercole in Tuscany, La Posta Vecchia Hotel near Rome, and Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa in Ischia.

When we think of bravery and self-sacrifice, we usually think of heroic acts during war. We focus on famous battles and epic outcomes. As we consider what it means to sacrifice for others, it's fitting that we spotlight a woman who gave up much to save many.John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.”Florence Nightingale was born into a rich family and lived in Tuscany. Not exactly a training ground for self-sacrifice!Florence, though, made a decision to dedicate her life to helping others. By making this choice, she gave up her own personal dreams.During the Crimean War, she made the rounds at night to check on wounded soldiers. Later, she used her writing skills to build support for better nursing techniques and hospital facilities.

Johan Bruyneel, George Hincapie, and Spencer Martin break down Sunday's stage of the Giro d'Italia, which saw Wout van Aert take an emotional victory over UAE's Isaac del Toro, who rode into the race lead after getting with an elite group after a mid-stage crash on the white gravel roads of Tuscany. They discuss how this win, along with Primož Roglič's time loss, frames the GC battle heading into the second week, and how they will expect UAE to manage having the Maglia Rosa and a total of four riders in the top ten. Before they take off, they predict who will win Stage 10's critical time trial and how the GC picture will look afterward. OneSkin - OneSkin is the world's first skin longevity company.

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Fifth Week of Easter Lectionary: 285The Saint of the day is Saint Theophilus of CorteSaint Theophilus of Corte's Story If we expect saints to do marvelous things continually and to leave us many memorable quotes, we are bound to be disappointed with Saint Theophilus. The mystery of God's grace in a person's life, however, has a beauty all its own. Theophilus was born in Corsica of rich and noble parents. As a young man, he entered the Franciscans and soon showed his love for solitude and prayer. After admirably completing his studies, he was ordained and assigned to a retreat house near Subiaco. Inspired by the austere life of the Franciscans there, he founded other such houses in Corsica and Tuscany. Over the years, he became famous for his preaching as well as his missionary efforts. Though he was always somewhat sickly, Theophilus generously served the needs of God's people in the confessional, in the sickroom, and at the graveside. Worn out by his labors, he died on June 17, 1740. He was canonized in 1930. Reflection There is a certain dynamism in all the saints that prompts them to find ever more selfless ways of responding to God's grace. As time went on, Theophilus gave more and more single-hearted service to God and to God's sons and daughters. Honoring the saints will make no sense unless we are thus drawn to live as generously as they did. Their holiness can never substitute for our own. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Hello wine friends, and welcome back! This week we dive into Part Two of my conversation with Ernst Loosen of Dr.Loosen. If Part One was all about Riesling royalty, this one is for the Pinot aficionados. While Ernie is globally known for his Riesling, he's also been quietly and passionately cultivating a deep connection with Pinot Noir from Germany's rolling hills of the Pfalz with Villa Wolf, to the expressive soils of Oregon's Willamette Valley at Appassionata Estate, and now into the sacred vineyards of Burgundy itself with Perron de Mypont. In this episode, Ernie shares why Pinot Noir captured his heart, the styles he's chasing, and what makes Pinot from the Pfalz, Oregon, and Burgundy so distinct. Stick around until the end, Ernie doesn't hold back when it comes to sharing his truth. If you want to skip ahead: 02.24: Origins of Villa Wolf – Established in 1996 to focus on Pinot varieties in Pfalz 03.30: Pinot varieties have centuries of tradition in the Rhine and Pfalz regions 04.30: Aged Pinot Noir and Riesling share similar aromas – “sous bois” character 05.00: Use of “Pinot Noir” vs. “Spätburgunder” depending on export market 07.00: Tasting and discussing the Villa Wolf Pinot Noir 2022 £12.95 Cheers Wine Merchants 11.30: Comparing German clones with French 14.00: Comparing the terroir Pfalz vs. Mosel 17.00: Why Pfalz is nicknamed “Tuscany of Germany” 20.00: Introducing Loosen's Oregon project: Appassionata Estate 22.00: Appassionata named after Beethoven's passionate composition 22.30: Wines aged longer before release, unlike typical U.S. practice 24.00: Volcanic soils require longer aging before release 26.30: Longest-aged wines come from basalt-rich plots 28.00: Ernst acquisition of the Vieux Château de Puligny-Montrachet in 2019 and it's history in Burgundy 30.32: The style of Pinot Noir that Ernst is crafting 32.30: Whole bunch fermentation vs destemming 34.43: Stem use in winemaking: positives and negatives 36.30: Ernst's oak philosophy with Pinot Noir 39.30: Ernst favors 2019 Burgundy vintage and 2014 in Oregon 41.30: Winemaking focus to avoid high alcohol styles 42.30: Ernst speaks his truth: Low yields in this current climate does not just mean a better wine 46.24: Where is the world Ernst would want to plant next 47.45: Most memorable Pinot: Domaine Armand Rousseau 1969 Chambertin 49.00: Ernst's advice for the next generation of winemakers Any thoughts or questions, do email me: janina@eatsleepwinerepeat.co.uk Or contact me on Instagram @eatsleep_winerepeat If you fancy watching some videos on my youtube channel: Eat Sleep Wine Repeat Or come say hi at www.eatsleepwinerepeat.co.uk Until next time, Cheers to you! ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- THE EAT SLEEP WINE REPEAT PODCAST HAS BEEN FEATURED IN DECANTER MAGAZINE, RADIO TIMES AND FEED SPOT AS THE 6TH BEST UK WINE MAKING PODCAST.
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin discuss today's stage of the Giro d'Italia, which Jayco-AlUla's Luke Plapp won with a long-range breakaway and saw Primož Roglič intentionally cede the race lead to XDS-Astana's Diego Ulissi. They discuss Plapp's impressive win, what this means for his career in the future, and what to make of UAE and Ayuso's aggressive riding during the stage, before previewing Sunday's critical Stage 9, which takes the peloton over the white gravel roads of Tuscany to finish in the Piazza del Campo. They predict who will win, how the action will play out, and which riders present the best betting value.

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 283The Saint of the day is Saint Margaret of CortonaSaint Margaret of Cortona's Story Margaret was born of farming parents in Laviano, Tuscany. Her mother died when Margaret was seven; life with her stepmother was so difficult that Margaret moved out. For nine years she lived with Arsenio, though they were not married, and she bore him a son. In those years, she had doubts about her situation. Somewhat like Saint Augustine, she prayed for purity—but not just yet. One day she was waiting for Arsenio and was instead met by his dog. The animal led Margaret into the forest where she found Arsenio murdered. This crime shocked Margaret into a life of penance. She and her son returned to Laviano, where she was not well received by her stepmother. They then went to Cortona, where her son eventually became a friar. In 1277, three years after her conversion, Margaret became a Franciscan tertiary. Under the direction of her confessor, who sometimes had to order her to moderate her self-denial, she pursued a life of prayer and penance at Cortona. There she established a hospital and founded a congregation of tertiary sisters. The poor and humble Margaret was, like Francis, devoted to the Eucharist and to the passion of Jesus. These devotions fueled her great charity and drew sinners to her for advice and inspiration. She was canonized in 1728. St. Margaret of Cortona’s liturgical feast is celebrated on February 22. Reflection Seeking forgiveness is sometimes difficult work. It is made easier by meeting people who, without trivializing our sins, assure us that God rejoices over our repentance. Being forgiven lifts a weight and prompts us to acts of charity. Click here for more on Saint Margaret of Cortona! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads go into one of the juiciest debates of the season — if Spurs win the Europa League… have they had a BETTER season than Arsenal?Pete, Sids and Chris weigh up silverware vs second place, and whether finishing runners-up in the league without a trophy holds a candle to lifting something in Europe — even if it comes with a 17th place finish. The Arsenal-Spurs dynamic is shifting, and the boys aren't sitting on the fence.Away from the football, there's plenty of nonsense… we get stories of seagull muggings in Cornwall, monkeys raiding hotel fridges, and Chris' recent dolphin safari. Plus, one listener's mum is not letting him attend Spurs' potential big night, and the pod receives its first ever official fishmonger application.To top it all off, there's a very serious warning: never go full ‘Rod' unless you're medically cleared.Chumbawamba 00:02:00 – Chris' dolphin safari?!

In a rapidly changing world, how do we best prepare our children for the future? Press play on the latest episode of the Transform with Travel podcast where Kelly interviews Rekha Magon, co-founder and Chief Education Officer of Boundless Life. Rekha's insights challenge the status quo of traditional education, advocating for a model that's dynamic, adaptive, and in tune with the needs of our global society.Many parents are reconsidering the traditional methods of schooling, where education often feels like a factory model—with rigid schedules and standardized tests that reward compliance over creativity. Rekha shares how Boundless Life integrates multi-age classrooms, enabling students to learn alongside peers who are both older and younger, fostering leadership, empathy, and more natural learning relationships.In the episode, we discuss the importance of adapting education to be more personalized, hands-on, and globally focused. Through experiences like cultural immersion at Boundless Life locations, children learn not just academics but also empathy, cultural awareness, and global-mindedness as they interact with local communities and tackle real-world problems.For parents eager to implement global learning without boarding an international flight, Rekha offers practical tips. Invite the world into your home by cooking meals from different countries, participating in cultural festivals, or simply engaging with families from different backgrounds in your community.As Boundless Life expands, Rekha envisions a world with more immersive education centers, making global learning accessible to even more families. Current destinations include Portugal, Tuscany, Greece, Bali, and Montenegro, with the newest location in Uruguay, offering rich cultural experiences in breathtaking settings.In this episode:0:00 Intro 02:56 Meet the Co-Founder of Boundless Life04:58 The Vision Behind Boundless Life11:50 Ad - Mindful Traveler14:04 Challenges of Traditional Education22:17 The Importance of Global Citizenship25:47 Place-Based Learning in Action28:34 Transformational Stories from Boundless Life31:58 Cultural Immersion in Italy and Israel33:33 Managing Family Transitions Between Cohorts34:36 Personalized Education and 360 Profiles36:11 Experiencing Nepi in Bali39:32 Integrating Global Learning at Home45:57 Boundless Life's Vision for Education47:19 New Destinations and Future Plans49:59 Getting Started with Boundless Life55:22 Rapid Fire Questions and Closing ThoughtsReady to join Boundless Life?

Today, we're talking with Nancy De Losa from AQTO Cycling Tours in Italy. For AQTO, the magic of riding in Italy is all about the challenge and reward. You get testing yourself on Italy's most exhilarating climbs and descents while immersing yourself in authentic Italian hospitality. Facebook Twitter Instagram Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! Sign up for my Newsletter HERE I'd love to hear your feedback about the show! You can contact me here: rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com What Happened: We didn't mean to start a cycling tour business in Italy. No, really. It all started with a blog post. Damien rode a legendary vintage bike ride in Tuscany, blogged about it for his cycling apparel brand, and boom—emails started rolling in: “Do you run tours?” Cue the two of us looking at each other with raised eyebrows and saying, “...Maybe we do?” One spontaneous road trip, a few door knocks, and a hotel booking later—AQTO Cycling Tours was born. Here's the kicker: I'm not a cyclist. Not even close. I married one. I live with one. But cycling? Doesn't sing to my soul. Yoga and red wine, yes. Lycra and bike grease? Not so much. So I created something for the others like me—the non-cycling partners, the half-riders, the aspiring adventurers who want the Italian magic without the saddle sores. From curated cooking classes to 3,000-year-old olive trees, that little side program became a unique (and very loved) part of our brand. Principle: Just because you're not the “typical” expert in the room doesn't mean you don't belong in the business. In fact, your “different lens” might be the very thing that makes the experience more complete, more inclusive, and more memorable for everyone involved. Transition: A lot of us think we need to be “all in” on something to make it work—like being a hardcore cyclist to lead cycling tours. But the truth is, many adventure-based brands get stuck trying to serve only the enthusiasts. And in doing so, they forget about the partners, the dreamers, and the curious souls who crave the journey, just not the climbs. That's why so many businesses feel out of reach for the average person. They're built on the assumption that only experts belong. That's Why: That's why this episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast exists—to show how Nancy and Damien built a boutique Italian adventure company that doesn't just cater to cyclists, but to humans who crave culture, community, and challenge. Whether you ride or not, their approach is a masterclass in designing an inclusive, enriching experience that welcomes everyone at the table (and on the trail). Call to Action: Tired of feeling like adventures are only for “serious” athletes? It's frustrating when travel feels like a test, not a treat. That's why this episode is a must-listen—because there's a different way to explore. One that fits you. [Listen here to episode 506 now] Show Notes What what advice would you give someone who's never done an international cycling tour before but wants to give it a shot? I probably would say stop thinking about it and just do it.- Nancy De Losa Do you have a favorite book? Yes, it's called "Italian Joy" by Carla Olson.
