In this Conflicted Conversation, journalist Chris Horton talks about his new book Ghost Nation: The Story of Taiwan and Its Struggle for Survival. Chris explains: Why China wants Taiwan and why the island is vital to control of the western Pacific. Taiwan's strategic position in the First Island Chain between China, Japan and the Philippines. How a Chinese invasion, blockade or maritime quarantine of Taiwan could unfold. Why a war over Taiwan could devastate global trade and the world economy. What Taiwan's fall would mean for US power, Japan and the Philippines. Why Taiwan is an independent democracy but still officially called the Republic of China. Who the Taiwanese are: Indigenous peoples, Hoklo, Hakka and post-1949 mainlanders. How martial law, dictatorship and democratisation created modern Taiwanese identity. Why the Kuomintang, once Communist China's enemy, is now Taiwan's most Beijing-friendly major party. Whether Taiwan could eventually choose closer integration with China through democracy rather than war.

Besalynn Mary James was 62 years old when she disappeared from her home on the Lummi Nation reservation in January 2025. Her boyfriend told police she left at 2 AM to go for a walk in freezing temperatures. After she didn't return, it took four days for him to report her missing. What her sister found when she went to check on Besalynn's dogs didn't match his story. The clothes he said Besalynn was wearing were still inside the trailer.In this episode, we walk through the timeline of Besalynn's disappearance, the contradictions in her boyfriend's account, the complicated jurisdictional reality of investigating a major crime on tribal land, and the systemic crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people. We also look at what Washington State has built in response to that crisis, and what it still hasn't been able to deliver to Besalynn's family: answers.As of the time of this recording, Terry Bowman remains an uncharged person of interest. The FBI's Seattle Field Office continues to actively investigate. If you have information about Besalynn's disappearance, contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov, or call the Lummi Nation Police Department at 360-312-2274.Visit our website!

I spoke with Professor Marnie Hughes-Warrington about her 2026 book Artificial Historians, co-authored with Anne Martin and Lewis Yarlupurka O'Brien. A distinguished historian, philosopher, academic leader, and Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) based at the University of Adelaide, my guest explores how the logic of history, defined around trivalent logic (the “maybes,” the “ifs,” the ontological uncertainties), intersects with and challenges the logic of dominant AI algorithms. The book raises urgent questions about the changing status of human agency, the ethics of AI-powered data collection about us, and the de facto histories that AI is writing about us every second—histories that may decide whether we can travel, access education, or receive medical care. We talk about the opportunities that this perspective on AI presents to humans (and historians in particular!), how some non-Western conceptions of history—for instance, those of the Indigenous nations of Australia—complicate the dominant Western understanding of what history is, and the challenges we must address as we hand over more and more data and delegate the writing of actual human histories to AI. Aristotle makes a cameo, and my guest talks about how the economy might be shifting from knowledge bias to ethics bias. Learn more about your ad choices.

Times are tough for most on the planet. If you really think about it most people and nature beings are struggling on some level to try and survive. When we feel so pressured in life that can lead to feeling jealous or comparing what you have to others. But don't be so quick to judge that having more leads to a life of happiness.Join this really potent show as Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman speak about the difference of being “materially wealthy” versus “spiritual wealthy”. Spiritual wealth leads to a life of deep magic that cannot be replaced by what we can manifest purely on material levels.Follow Us Shamanstv.comSupport the show

 Kimberly Lining remembers calling the information number on a flyer for a missing Indigenous woman and learning that the photo on the flyer didn’t even belong to the missing woman. The frustration born in that moment led Lining to launch the MMIW Search and Hope Alliance, a group of volunteers she mobilizes to help look for missing Indigenous women and girls. Lining partners with the Oregon State Police, families, tribes and others to help get the word out on social media and in-person searches. We talk to Lining about her work.

Workplace and leadership surveys show an overwhelming consensus among business leaders regarding the importance of team connection: ·         90% of employers state that fostering a sense of community and connection at work is crucial for business success. ·         71% of executives believe that strong employee engagement—often built through shared goals and team activities—is a core driver of their company's success. ·         47% of executives explicitly invest in employee experience initiatives to improve team collaboration. According to Harvard Business School and workplace satisfaction and engagement surveys, these statistics reinforce an essential reality: human connection, engagement, shared purpose, and collaboration are fundamental ingredients for organizational success. But what happens when those same principles are taken far beyond the traditional workplace—and into the Costa Rican jungle? Jason Westlake is an entrepreneur, adventure travel leader, author of Jungle Whispering, and co-owner of Tierra de Sueños Retreat & Wellness Center in Costa Rica. For 17 years, Jason has guided people toward unforgettable experiences while building a business and lifestyle centered on adventure, connection, courage, and community. The retreat center has hosted more than 267 retreats, supported by a diverse team committed to giving guests an uplifting and memorable experience. Jason's own adventures have taken him far beyond the familiar. From kayaking with killer whales and tracking gorillas in Africa to living deep in the Amazon with Indigenous communities, wrestling anacondas, and coming face-to-face with jaguars, his experiences have reinforced a powerful lesson: some of life's greatest opportunities begin just outside our comfort zones. At Tierra de Sueños, that philosophy extends to the entire guest experience. Nestled in the jungle near Playa Chiquita and Puerto Viejo, the retreat brings together different cultures, languages, locally sourced food, yoga, nature, adventure, and community. Behind it all is a team dedicated to helping visitors experience Costa Rica in an authentic and unforgettable way. In this episode of Let's Have This Conversation, Jason and I explore what happens when business and adventure become partners rather than competitors. We discuss overcoming fear, stepping beyond comfort zones, creating strong teams, building a business that supports the life you actually want to live, embracing cultural experiences, and designing once-in-a-lifetime moments people never forget. How much of the life we want exists just beyond the boundaries we've created for ourselves? And can entrepreneurial success be measured not only by what we build—but by the freedom, connection, adventure, and memories we're able to create along the way? Join us for a conversation about business, adventure, courage, human connection, and what it truly means to build a life on your own terms.   For more information: https://tierradesuenoslodge.com/ Email: jason@jasonwestlakecoach.com Get the Book: https://www.amazon.ca/Jungle-Whispering-Influence-Jason-Westlake-ebook/dp/B01IANR5ZG/ref=sr_1_7?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2WamUAO73OQ4fMKQyx_3YDKABV0NO3kXVNLOO4KpyZwRDdyRePN_QL3w9w4WQEN3JAu0qf_Gy1Fit6Zli0ByVZgZkhZVSol-xG6D9Tt4x0iprcOV1QPyez_R-TZqel8M.-30SXJQvWeXo_P3i8h8uy1zuhz6mMmlv6Ip9Q-j2PU0&dib_tag=se&qid=1788369657&refinements=p_27%3AJason+Westlake&s=digital-text&sr=1-7&text=Jason+Westlake Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1987, Mary P. Lovato, a member of Kewa Pueblo in New Mexico, was diagnosed with acute leukemia. To receive a bone marrow transplant, she had to travel more than 800 miles from home because specialized cancer care was unavailable through the Indian Health Service. When she returned, she discovered another obstacle: many in her community feared cancer so deeply that they avoided speaking about it altogether.This episode examines how cancer survivorship exposed profound inequities in the American healthcare system. Long before health equity became a national priority, advocates from underserved communities were confronting disparities rooted in geography, poverty, racism, language, underfunded healthcare systems, and historical mistrust of medical institutions. Their work demonstrated that scientific advances alone cannot improve survival if patients cannot reach, afford, or trust the care available to them.The story follows pioneers including Mary P. Lovato, who built the first national Native-led cancer support and education program for Indigenous communities, and Maimah Karmo, founder of the Tigerlily Foundation, whose breast cancer diagnosis inspired a movement to improve early detection, clinical trial participation, and representation for Black women. Their advocacy challenged longstanding barriers to culturally competent care while highlighting persistent inequities in access to screening, fertility preservation, navigation, and innovative treatments.The episode also explores why diversity in clinical research matters. For decades, many cancer clinical trials disproportionately enrolled White patients, limiting both access to promising therapies and the scientific understanding of how treatments perform across different populations. Researchers, patient advocates, and community leaders responded by redesigning outreach, improving patient navigation, reducing logistical barriers, and insisting that affected communities help shape the research itself.Cancer survivorship cannot be measured solely by scientific breakthroughs. It also depends on whether every patient has a meaningful opportunity to benefit from them. The pursuit of health equity remains one of the defining challenges and enduring responsibilities of modern oncology.RELATED LINKSNational Cancer Institute | Cancer Health Disparities⁠Indian Health Service⁠Tigerlily Foundation⁠National Cancer Institute | Cancer Clinical Trials⁠American Indian Cancer Foundation⁠Abramson Cancer Center | University of Pennsylvania⁠FEEDBACKLike this episode?

Photo: Bernadette Hartley and other volunteers assemble opioid-reversal kits at an August 29, 2025, event in Anchorage, Alaska. (Yereth Rosen / Alaska Beacon) A new health report has mixed news for Alaskans. The findings come from the Healthy Alaskans program, a partnership between the Alaska Department of Health and the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. As Yereth Rosen reports from the Alaska Beacon, key takeaways from the research show that chronic health problems like obesity and high blood pressure persist and childhood vaccinations continue to lag. Over the last decade, infant mortality rates have shown no improvement with markedly higher rates among Alaska Natives. The state's life expectancy remains unchanged, but the report points to some encouraging trends, particularly for younger Alaskans. The statewide assessment found a significant increase in prenatal care. High school graduation rates are up, and the longstanding graduation gap among Alaska Native students has narrowed. The reports says this is important, because education is linked to better health. It also found that Alaska teens are less likely today to be exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke, a trend the report links to tobacco-free zones and other policies. Drug overdose rates appear to be leveling off. The research found that more food grown in Alaska has become easier to find, while better access to trails supports exercise and traditional subsistence practices. There are some troubling developments on the horizon. Climate change has affected fish runs and the availability of wild foods, important to the diet of rural Alaskans. Environmental changes have also increased the risk of new diseases, while wildfire smoke poses health hazards in some parts of the state. The Voices Not Forgotten page on the FBI website shows current cases. The FBI is increasing rewards for information in cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous people and relatives in North Dakota and nationwide, as Judith Ruiz-Branch reports. Brandon Baity is executive director of the Indigenous Association in Fargo, North Dakota and a White Earth descendant, “We’re left very vulnerable due to a lot of systemic and intergenerational reasons. So the bottom line is addressing some of that vulnerability in our community overall would help us go further up the river, so we’re not always pulling people out of the river, literally and figuratively.” Forty percent of North Dakota's missing population is Indigenous. As part of the Voices Not Forgotten initiative, FBI officials have set a minimum $25,000 reward for help with cracking dozens of nationwide cases. Baity believes the level of attention a case receives can come down to whether a victim is viewed as “worthy”. He raises questions about which lives are deemed deserving of public concern and institutional resources. Factors like addiction or housing instability can lead to victim-blaming, Baity adds, even though every missing person has family, friends and loved ones who want them found. “They’re still people and they’re still deserving of care and support in our community and from our organizations and our institutions that are here to keep us safe. And so I just think we really need to focus more on, why are there so many murdered and missing Indigenous people in our country?” FBI data shows nearly 10,000 American Indian and Alaska Native individuals were reported missing nationwide in 2025. Baity says informal networks in the Fargo-Moorhead area mobilize and organize searches for local families who are impacted, but those efforts can be limited by a lack of resources and formal support. He adds that increased rewards and investigative resources are important, but preventing these cases in the first place requires sustained investment in the safety and stability of Indigenous communities.

Part two of two. Where is the line between honoring a group of people and putting them on a pedestal? And can spirituality really be separated from the history of the places and people it claims to honor?In Part 2 of Daniel's conversation with Marie Major, the discussion takes a more challenging turn as they explore race, racism, privilege, history, and the role these issues should play within the spiritual community.Marie argues that spirituality cannot simply focus on ideas of love, unity, and interconnectedness without also acknowledging the historical injustices experienced by Black and Indigenous people. Daniel agrees on the importance of understanding racism, slavery, colonization, and the systemic barriers that continue to affect marginalized communities, but challenges some of Marie's conclusions along the way.That leads to one of the central disagreements of the conversation: when Marie speaks about honoring Black people as what she considers the “original blueprint of humanity,” Daniel asks whether honoring a group can cross the line into putting that group on a pedestal. From there, they wrestle with what equality actually looks like, white privilege, historical responsibility, cultural appropriation, and whether someone needs to acknowledge the entire history of a place before speaking about its spiritual significance.The conversation eventually returns to the subject that first brought Marie widespread attention: stargates. Marie explains why she believes a stargate in Iran is spiritually connected to the conflict in the region, while Daniel challenges her on how much someone needs to know about a place's political and historical context before offering a spiritual interpretation of what is happening there.Despite their disagreements, the conversation ultimately returns to a principle they largely share: acknowledge what you know, acknowledge what you don't, remain willing to listen, and don't let the fear of being wrong prevent you from asking difficult questions.Marie's bio:Marie Major is a spiritual author and speaker who helps individuals move from feeling lost in time's illusion to resting in the truth of Divine Timing. She looks at time not as a line, but as a living energy record—a cosmic story we are meant to co-author. Her work bridges celestial guidance and practical energy medicine, helping others read the rhythm of their soul and align with the universe's flow.Marie believes true manifestation is sacred resonance. It begins when we harmonize our energy with the cosmos, transform old timelines, and consciously collaborate with life's currents. This is where intention meets grace, and longing becomes embodied creation.She is here to help you translate the universe's whispers, dissolve the myth of "too late" or "too soon," and step into the serene power of your own eternal now. Her guiding principle: we create with time, not against it.Instagram and TikTok - @mariemajor_YouTube - @marie_majorWebsite - mariemajor.love

On this episode of So Fly, we're joined by Nathan Wilbur, President of the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF), to talk about one of the most iconic fish on the planet: the wild Atlantic salmon. Based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Nathan has spent more than a decade with the ASF working to conserve and restore wild Atlantic salmon across eastern Canada. His work has ranged from developing conservation programs and building coalitions and Indigenous partnerships to advocating for stronger salmon management at the government level. In July 2025, Nathan stepped into the role of President of the organization. Nathan is also a Professional Engineer with a background in rivers and fluvial geomorphology. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Forest Engineering from the University of New Brunswick before completing a Master's in Civil Engineering, where his research focused on cold-water habitat for Atlantic salmon. But for Nathan, salmon and rivers are more than a career. He's also a lifelong angler with a deep connection to fish, flowing water and the natural world. We chat with Nathan about the current state of wild Atlantic salmon, the biggest challenges facing populations today, habitat and river restoration, conservation and management, and the work being done to give these incredible fish a better future. Plus, we learn a little about Nathan the angler. Enjoy! Explore the ASF: https://www.asf.ca/ HOW TO HELP SO FLY: Please go leave us a review on APPLE PODCASTS.

In this episode of the AAST Cutting Edge Podcast, host Dr. Caroline Park and co-moderator Dr. Christina Colosimo are joined by Dr. Karyn Butler, chair of the AAST DEI Committee, and Dr. Bethany Strong for an update on the committee's most impactful initiatives. Dr. Butler walks through four current projects including the networking breakfast, now in its third year with over 300 registrants, a manuscript on navigating conflict in surgical training, a critical review of the SCORE curriculum through a DEI lens, and a drowning prevention article highlighting disparate outcomes in Black and Indigenous communities.Dr. Strong then takes the spotlight to describe the DEI pipeline program, now entering its fifth year, which pairs high school students from underrepresented backgrounds with trauma surgeon mentors and provides a structured curriculum covering everything from resume building to suture skills. The episode closes with a candid conversation on workplace violence in trauma settings, why it is more visible now than ever, and what prevention, mitigation, and post-event support need to look like across surgical institutions. If you will be at the annual meeting in Dallas, the pipeline program skills day and networking breakfast are not to be missed.

Sixty years ago, workers at the Wave Hill cattle station in the Northern Territory took a stand against discrimination and poor working conditions and walked off the job in protest. A defining moment for Australia's Indigenous land rights, the Wave Hill walk off lead the way for the Aboriginal Land Rights Act of1976 and its significance is still celebrated today. - Шестьдесят лет назад работники скотоводческой станции Уэйв Хилл в Северной территории выступили против дискриминации и плохих условий труда и в знак протеста покинули свои рабочие места. Забастовка в Уэйв Хилл стала поворотным моментом в борьбе людей из числа Коренных народов Австралии за земельные права и проложила путь к принятию Закона о земельных правах Аборигенных народов 1976 года.

Episode 54: Weaving, Healing and Resilience For generations, our ancestors have woven our stories, our history, and our relationship to the land into the physical fibers of the earth. In a world that often tries to compartmentalize Indigenous art as a relic of the past, our artists are proving that our traditions are living, breathing, and contemporary. Today, we are joined by world-renowned Wabanaki basket maker Jeremy Frey. We dive into how the simple, sacred act of weaving serves as a powerful vessel for personal recovery, cultural preservation, and sovereign expression in the face of rapid ecological change.

In 2019, there was exactly one Black member of the American Elasmobranch Society — the leading U.S. society for shark and ray researchers — out of 500. Then a single tweet during Black Birders Week changed everything. Join us as we sit down with Jasmin Graham, President and CEO of Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS), the organization she and three other Black women scientists built from a viral tweet into a global community with members across four continents — launched just three weeks after that first message, timed deliberately for Juneteenth. Jasmin studies bonnethead sharks and the critically endangered smalltooth sawfish, one of the last "lifeboat populations" left on Earth, now facing a mysterious new spinning disease that's already claimed an estimated 80 animals in Florida. She's also the author of the memoir Sharks Don't Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Shark Scientist, which draws striking parallels between shark conservation and the fight for Black liberation. In this conversation, Jasmin shares her "scientific meet-cute" origin story, why she walked away from a traditional academic career, how local fishers and Indigenous oral histories are reshaping what scientists thought they knew about bull sharks and red tide, and what she'd tell any young woman of color who loves the ocean but isn't sure science was built for her. Whether you're drawn to marine science, representation in STEM, or just want to hear from someone whose stated goal in life is to be sharks' PR person, this episode is a reminder that the people best equipped to change a field are often the ones it wasn't built for in the first place.

In this episode of Crime Bit with Danielle Hallan, the murder of 22-year-old Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind begins with an eight-month pregnant woman leaving her apartment to help a neighbor with a sewing project. What starts as a sudden disappearance becomes repeated police searches, a newborn found inside the neighbors' apartment, conflicting stories from Brooke Crews and William Hoehn, and the discovery of Savanna's body in the Red River. The case later leads to convictions, questions about missed evidence, and Savanna's Act addressing missing and murdered Indigenous people. Learn more about your ad choices.

Damon and Iesha break down what's actually happening, why states are suing, what the courts have ruled, and what Arizona voters need to know before the 2026 midterms.Then it's time for “Did He Really Do That?” Trump has signed an executive order directing the U.S. federal government to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.” We look at Canada's reaction, the Indigenous history behind the Ontario name, and how the controversy connects to the growing U.S.-Canada trade dispute.

Following recent court decisions around Indigenous rights and Aboriginal title in BC, public discourse is full of conflicting assertions. Premier David Eby has criticized the court and called their decisions overreaching and unhelpful. RAVEN works to support Indigenous Nations upholding their rights in court. It published an article to clarify some of the confusion, comparing what they are hearing to what they know to be true. We spoke with Jamie-Leigh Gonzales of RAVEN in February.

On August 29, 1779, 4,000 Continental Army troops led by Major General John Sullivan engaged a combined force of 250 Loyalist rangers (Butler's Rangers) and 350 Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and Lenape warriors. The American victory forced the Indigenous and Loyalist forces to retreat. American Revolution (1765–1783) was a political conflict involving the Thirteen Colonies and Great Britain, culminating in the American Revolutionary War and the independence of the colonies as the United States.

In this episode, Brian welcomes Thomas Sewid of the Kwakwaka'wakw people of northern Vancouver Island for a wide-ranging conversation about Sasquatch traditions, firsthand encounters, Indigenous knowledge, and the debate over the more supernatural claims surrounding the subject.Thomas explains that Sasquatch, known by names including Ćunaq̣, Ts'uunaaka, Tl'onaq'a, Junakwa, and Chunag, holds a significant place within Kwakwaka'wakw culture. The figure appears in traditional masks, potlatch dances, crest imagery, totem poles, and generations of oral teaching. Growing up in a commercial fishing family, Thomas spent much of his life along the remote coast of British Columbia, where stories of Sasquatch were part of the cultural landscape long before the subject became popular in modern cryptozoology.He shares reports he gathered from fishermen, loggers, Indigenous communities, and people living throughout the coastal wilderness, along with several experiences of his own. These include a sighting with his father near Sayward and later encounters while Thomas was living and working deep in the bush and serving as a watchman in isolated areas.Thomas also offers his interpretation of behaviors commonly reported by Sasquatch witnesses.He believes some apparent wood knocks may actually be powerful hand slaps used as warning or communication signals and describes Sasquatch groups as operating within a coordinated clan structure that allows individuals to alert and support one another. He also discusses their ability to use terrain, cover, and wind direction to remain aware of people while avoiding detection.The conversation then turns to what Thomas openly calls the “woo” surrounding Sasquatch.He strongly rejects claims involving cloaking, portals, telepathy, and other paranormal abilities, arguing that fear, stress, and trauma can dramatically affect how people interpret unusual encounters. For Thomas, the investigation should remain focused on physical evidence, observable behavior, and claims that can ultimately be tested.Thomas also explores his belief that Sasquatch could represent an ancient or “original human” population and discusses why official recognition of such a species could create complicated questions involving Indigenous rights, land management, environmental protections, logging, development, and regional economies.It is a conversation that brings together generations of cultural tradition, decades spent in the wilderness, firsthand experience, and a decidedly evidence-focused approach to one of North America's most enduring mysteries.Thomas also discusses his Sasquatch Island work, SasquatchIsland.com, SasquatchLegend.com in Forks, Washington, and plans for an upcoming museum dedicated to preserving and sharing the history and traditions surrounding Sasquatch.Visit Sasquatch Island WebsiteVisit Sasquatch The Legend Website Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

In this solo episode, Amy Wheeler explores a fascinating question: What happens when we look beneath the physical practice of yoga and return to its deeper purpose? Beginning with the history of āsana, Amy traces how yoga postures evolved from simple meditation seats into the diverse practices we know today. Along the way, she examines the Tantric influence of the Śiva Saṃhitā, the rise of embodied awareness in modern somatic practices, and the importance of lived experience as a pathway to understanding ourselves more deeply. The episode invites listeners to consider how yoga therapy can serve as a bridge between ancient wisdom and contemporary understandings of human experience, healing, and transformation.In this episode, Amy discusses:• The Sanskrit root of āsana and its original meaning as a seat or stable posture for meditation• The role of āsana in the Yoga Sūtras and why Patañjali devoted only a few verses to posture• The evolution of āsana through the Haṭha Yoga tradition, including the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā, Gheraṇḍa Saṃhitā, and Śiva Saṃhitā• Why the Śiva Saṃhitā is considered one of the most Tantric of the major Haṭha Yoga texts• The concepts of prāṇa, nāḍīs, chakras, and kuṇḍalinī as experiential maps of human transformation• How modern somatic approaches emphasize interoception, self-awareness, and embodied regulation• The importance of first-hand lived experience in understanding consciousness and healing• The connection between lived experience, yoga therapy, and the study of consciousness• How Indigenous ways of knowing value observation, participation, relationship, and direct experience• Why lived experience may be one of the most important meeting points between yoga, science, and healingClosing ThoughtsOne of the enduring gifts of yoga is its invitation to investigate experience directly. Whether we approach that inquiry through Classical Yoga, Tantra, somatic practice, lived experience, or Indigenous wisdom traditions, each reminds us that transformation begins with attention. The path of yoga therapy is not simply about changing symptoms or improving function. It is also about learning to observe, inhabit, and understand our lived experience more fully. In doing so, we may discover that the body, breath, mind, and spirit have been teaching us all along.Contact Amy Wheeler:www.TheOptimalState.com Optimal State App for iPhone:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/optimal-state/id1604424804 The Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yoga-therapy-hour-with-amy-wheeler/id1564687158 School of Integrative Health at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool

When Legends Turn Deadly is a nearly five-hour Terrifying & True true crime and folklore marathon featuring eight stories about monsters, cultural memory, Spiritualism, murder, extremist violence, and fatal belief. The Hat Man, the Deer Woman, Djinn, the Melonheads, the Fox sisters, the Greenbrier Ghost, the murder of Jeffrey Hall, and the exorcism of Anneliese Michel form one escalating journey from modern nightmare to documented human tragedy. The journey begins between dreaming and waking, where people across cultures report a faceless silhouette in a wide-brimmed hat. Science points to sleep paralysis and suggestion; folklore and online testimony have turned the figure into a modern legend. The Deer Woman then carries a living Indigenous warning about predation and consequence. From there, Djinn traditions reveal what is lost when ancient spiritual beings are reduced to evil genies, while the Melonheads show how regional rumor can transform illness, disability, and exclusion into a monster. The Fox sisters then turn unexplained knocks into modern Spiritualism. The second half crosses into true crime. In 1897 West Virginia, Mary Jane Heaster said the ghost of Zona Heaster Shue revealed her murder. In Riverside, California, a ten-year-old killed his neo-Nazi father, Jeffrey Hall, inside a home saturated with weapons, violence, and hate. In 1976 Bavaria, prolonged exorcisms and abandoned medical care ended with Anneliese Michel dead from malnutrition and dehydration. Together, these cases separate documented history from paranormal claim without draining the fear from either. They ask how stories can protect people, distort a culture, stigmatize outsiders, manipulate believers, expose a crime - or make ordinary warning signs disappear behind absolute certainty. Inside this episode: The Hat Man, sleep paralysis, and a modern nightmare shaped by shared testimony The Deer Woman as warning, consequence, and living Indigenous tradition The Djinn, their place in Middle Eastern and Islamic tradition, and their distortion into evil-genie stereotypes The Melonheads Curse and the way regional folklore transforms abandoned or abused children into monsters The Fox sisters, the Hydesville rappings, and the rise of Spiritualism The Greenbrier Ghost, Zona Heaster Shue, and a West Virginia murder trial The murder of Jeffrey Hall and the effects of racist extremist ideology inside a family home The exorcism and death of Anneliese Michel in Klingenberg, West GermanyDo monsters begin in the dark, or in the explanations we refuse to question?

Susan Herman, LCSW, is a veteran clinical social worker with over three decades of experience spanning child welfare, residential treatment, military social work, and international healing initiatives in Vietnam. In this episode of If You've Come This Far, Susan joins Chris and Shaun to discuss her book, Breaking Up with the Patriarchy, and why true personal fulfillment requires deconstructing our relationship with dominant cultural norms.Rather than framing patriarchy solely as male dominance, Susan defines it as a 10,000-year-old "dominator worldview"—a framework built on fear, hyper-individualism, competition, and consumption. Drawing on Indigenous wisdom, clinical practice, and her own transformative life experiences, Susan offers a practical, pragmatic roadmap toward a kinship-centered worldview grounded in radical presence, bodily intuition, reciprocity, and long-term stewardship for future generations.Key Takeaways:The Abusive Relationship with Our Worldview: Why the 10,000-year-old dominator paradigm traps us in a cycle of compliance, consumption, and empty achievement.Early Roots of Empathy: How childhood encounters with Holocaust survivors and early callings shaped Susan's lifelong dedication to healing.Sovereignty Over Authority: Moving away from outsourcing authority to institutions, and stepping into personal sovereignty paired with relational accountability.Reimagining Needs: Comparing Maslow's hierarchy with the Blackfoot Nation's framework of self-actualization, community actualization, and 7th-generation perpetuity.Fear vs. Intuition: Why most fears are socially programmed to maintain the status quo, and how body-centered practices (Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga) release stored trauma.Duty to Purpose: Shifting daily existence from "have to" (duty/obligation) to "get to" (purpose/meaning).Musical Closing: Susan shares a live, heartfelt rendition of the Prayer of St. Francis.Resources Mentioned: Susan's book: Breaking Up with the PatriarchyThe Hope Effect by Dr. Stephen TrzeciakMaking Peace with Vietnam (Documentary film by Stephen Emanuel)Research by Four Arrows (Don Trent Jacobs) & Darcia Narvaez on Indigenous WorldviewsMental App (getmental.com)

Set against the backdrop of a historic time in Métis history, a young boy's disappearance begins a tense story of justice and defiance in Métis author Blair Palmer Yoxall's debut novel, “Treat Them as Buffalo“. It all takes place during the 1885 Northwest Resistance — a conflict between Métis and the Canadian federal government. When those entrusted to enforce the law turn a blind eye to a disturbing trend of disappearing Indigenous boys, the community members must take things in their own hands. The account is told from the perspective of young Niko, who comes to realize the difficult world of injustice his people are forced to endure. Dubbed an “anti-Western” by the author, it is both triumphant and tragic in its depiction of a time when the conquest of Indigenous peoples were celebrated as progress. Blair Palmer Yoxall joins us for our next Native Bookshelf discussion.
