Für Bürgermeister kleinerer Orte ist es oft doppelt schwer, eine Perspektive von außen einzunehmen. Auf den Ort, den man seit der Kindheit kennt. Wenn aber der Bürgermeister des schwäbischen Dorfs Ostelsheim spricht, merkt man schnell: Hier ist was anders! Dort ist ein Mann Bürgermeister, der 2015 als Flüchtling aus Syrien kam. Ryyan Alshebl will seine Sicht auf die Welt einbringen, Aufbruchstimmung verbreiten und gestalten. Für ihn sind zum Beispiel Windräder kein Kulturkampf, sondern die Möglichkeit vor Ort wenigstens einen Teil der Energieversorgung selbst in der Hand zu haben.
Islam: Wie friedlich ist die Religion?Die Zahl der Muslime in Deutschland ist laut Pew Research Center von rund 3,3 Millionen im Jahr 2010 auf etwa 5,5 Millionen gestiegen. Mit dem Wachstum verschärften sich Debatten über Integration, politischen Islam und gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt.Autor Hasnain Kazim wuchs in einem indisch-pakistanischen Elternhaus auf. Als Korrespondent in Islamabad und Istanbul erlebte er, was für eine Sprengkraft hinter der Verknüpfung aus Politik und Religion steckt.Kazim hält die Debatte, ob der Islam zu Deutschland gehöre, für wenig sinnvoll: Muslime seien längst Teil der Gesellschaft. Gleichzeitig warnt er vor dem Verschwinden von Frauen aus der Öffentlichkeit durch Teile des Islams.Zum Buch von Kazim: https://amzn.eu/d/0bSWqrhlHeute an den Mikros: Benjamin Scherp und Dominik Steffens-----------------Unterstütze uns auf Paypal oder werde Patreon und erhalte Exklusiv-Content!Folgt uns auf Instagram, um nichts zu verpassen: @based_medienbasedpodcast.de
What happens when a lifelong friendship meets a shared frustration with broken systems? Mike Ranfone and Dr. Marko Lujic did something most people only talk about — they actually built the gym-medical hybrid model that the health and fitness industry has been circling around for years. In this episode, Dr. Lujic opens up about the moment he realized he wasn't practicing healthcare — he was practicing sick care — and how that wake-up call led him and Mike to launch RTS Health in Hampton, Connecticut. Together, they walk us through their full client experience: from DEXA scans and comprehensive biomarker labs to concierge medicine, personalized training, and registered dietitian support — all under one roof for around $1,000/month. They also get real about why collaboration beats territorialism, why most people are "majoring in the minors" when it comes to longevity, and what it actually takes to build a business model at the intersection of fitness and functional medicine. If you've ever felt like the fitness and medical worlds should be talking to each other but aren't — this episode is for you. Episode Takeaways:

In this solo episode of Psyche, I reflect on a provocative article by Manu Bazzano titled Against Integration. Bazzano challenges one of the deepest assumptions in modern psychotherapy—the idea that the goal of therapy is to integrate the self into a unified whole. Drawing on philosophical currents influenced by thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche as well as Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, he invites us to consider whether the human psyche might be better understood as a multiplicity rather than a singular identity.In this episode, I explore why I find Bazzano's work so compelling while also sitting with the tension it creates for me as a practicing therapist. On one hand, I resonate deeply with the critique of reducing a person to a single, unified self. Anyone who has spent time in a therapy room knows that human beings are complex, contradictory, and often composed of multiple voices pulling in different directions.At the same time, I also wrestle with a practical question that emerges both in my own life and in the lives of my clients: is a radically multiple self actually livable? When identity becomes too fragmented, people often experience anxiety, instability, and the unsettling feeling that they are not really a self at all.Rather than choosing between the ideal of perfect integration and the chaos of pure multiplicity, I explore the possibility that psychological health might lie somewhere in between. Perhaps the task of therapy is not to eliminate our inner plurality but to learn how to negotiate among the different parts of ourselves—creating enough coherence to live meaningfully while still honoring the multiplicity that makes us human.This episode is less about settling the debate and more about dwelling inside the tension. Because sometimes the most important conversations in psychology are the ones that refuse to offer easy answers.

How can companies invest heavily in AI and still struggle to see meaningful returns? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Thomas Scott, CEO of Wrike, to unpack a growing tension many organizations are facing right now. Artificial intelligence adoption is accelerating rapidly across the workplace, yet the structures needed to support it are struggling to keep pace. Wrike's latest research into the "Age of Connected Intelligence" reveals that more than 80 percent of employees are already using AI at work. Yet fewer than half have received any formal training, guidance, or governance around how these tools should be used. That gap between enthusiasm and enablement is creating a new workplace phenomenon that many leaders are only just beginning to notice. Shadow AI. When employees cannot find approved tools that solve their problems quickly, they often turn to unapproved applications or personal accounts instead. Wrike's data shows that 42 percent of workers admit they have already done this. For organizations handling sensitive data, intellectual property, or regulated information, that trend raises serious questions about security, compliance, and trust. Thomas explains why this pattern is not surprising. Whenever a new technology emerges, the builders and experimenters move first. They explore possibilities, test new tools, and discover productivity gains long before formal policies or training frameworks arrive. The challenge for leadership teams is learning how to harness that momentum without letting experimentation turn into fragmentation. We also explore one of the most overlooked barriers to AI return on investment. Integration. Many employees are now juggling multiple AI tools every week, yet those systems rarely communicate with one another or connect deeply into the core business platforms where real work happens. As a result, context gets lost, workflows become fragmented, and organizations end up running expensive pilots that never scale into meaningful transformation. Thomas introduces the idea of connected intelligence as a possible solution. Instead of deploying AI tools in isolation, companies need systems that understand context across projects, teams, and workflows. When AI can access structured data, shared history, and operational context, it becomes far more capable of supporting real decision making rather than simply generating isolated outputs. Our conversation also explores how leaders can move beyond scattered experimentation and start building structured AI adoption across their organizations. Thomas argues that the most successful companies start with highly specific problems, empower small groups of motivated builders, and maintain strong executive involvement throughout the process. AI transformation is rarely driven by technology alone. It requires people, process, and leadership alignment working together. So if your organization has already deployed AI tools but still struggles to see real impact, perhaps the question is not whether you are using AI. The real question might be whether those tools are truly connected to the work your teams are trying to do every day.

In this episode, we unpack why so many people hold onto things they don't use, don't enjoy, and don't even like, and why over-keeping actually increases anxiety instead of creating security.As part of this ongoing decluttering series, this conversation connects the dots between mental clutter, emotional clutter, and environmental clutter—and exposes how fear of the future quietly keeps you stuck in the past.You'll learn:Why “just in case” thinking keeps decisions unfinishedHow clutter signals distrust in your ability to handle what's aheadWhy preparing for every possible scenario costs you peace in the presentHow clutter becomes a physical reminder of postponed choicesThis episode answers the question:Why do I keep things I don't even like or use?If you've been following this series, this episode builds directly on the themes of overload, depletion, invisible commitments, undefined “enough,” and emotional weight—bringing it all back to one core belief that fuels clutter at every level.Awareness is the first step.

Jen Davenport joins Psychedelics Today to interview co-founder Joe Moore about the growth of Psychedelics Today, the broader psychedelic ecosystem, and how professionals are beginning to engage with psychedelic ideas. Davenport is the founder of Iron Thread Partners and a graduate of the Vital psychedelic training program. Her work focuses on executive leadership, decision making, and organizational development. In this conversation she asks Moore about the evolution of Psychedelics Today and the changes he has witnessed across the psychedelic field over the past decade. Moore explains that Psychedelics Today began as a podcast exploring psychedelic research, therapy, and culture. Over time the project expanded into a media and education platform covering psychedelic science, harm reduction, and professional training. The organization now produces podcasts, journalism, courses, and public conversations about psychedelics and their place in modern society. A central part of the discussion is psychedelic integration. Moore notes that insight during a psychedelic experience does not automatically lead to lasting change. The integration process often requires continued work through journaling, meditation, therapy, and community support. These practices help people translate insights into stable changes in behavior and perspective. The conversation also explores policy changes in the United States. Colorado's Natural Medicine framework is creating a regulated system for psychedelic services while the state also maintains a broader decriminalization approach. Moore discusses the tension between regulated access and grassroots psychedelic culture, as well as the questions around accessibility, pricing, and corporate participation. Davenport asks how executives and professionals are approaching psychedelics. In some circles psychedelics are framed as tools for creativity or performance. Moore cautions against this framing. Psychedelics often open difficult personal material and should be approached with care rather than treated as productivity tools. Education remains a recurring theme throughout the episode. As public interest grows, Moore stresses the importance of studying the legal landscape, understanding the scientific literature, and developing responsible practices for preparation and integration. The conversation offers a grounded look at how Psychedelics Today approaches the psychedelic resurgence. Rather than focusing on hype, Moore emphasizes education, safety, and thoughtful engagement with psychedelic experiences.

In this episode, Jin Ong explores why being specific is essential when it comes to processing your emotions. Rather than trying to “release anger” or “clear sadness” in a vague, general way, Jin explains why it's far more powerful to work with concrete experiences, memories, events, and interactions where those emotions first arose but were never fully expressed. Jin shares how true healing happens when we gently revisit these specific moments and finally give our emotions the time, space, and safety they didn't have at the time. She also announces some exciting new changes to how you can enter the Release world, including more integration support before live rounds begin. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why trying to “process anger” or “release sadness” in general often isn't enoughThe real reason emotions like anger, sadness, guilt, shame, and fear get stored in the bodyHow unprocessed emotions can manifest physically, mentally, behaviourally, energetically, or spirituallyCommon reasons you didn't process emotions at the time: The difference between: Processing on an emotional state (e.g. anger, sadness) Processing on a specific experience, memory, or interaction Why specificity makes emotional work more tangible, grounded, and effective About Release – Jin's Signature Emotional Processing Program Release is Jin's signature program where she teaches you how to process your emotions through specific experiences, rather than staying in vague emotional labels.

WelcomeHello and blessings, welcome to Episode 5 of Season 3 of The Calling Podcast: Integration and Embodiment for Healers. I'm your host, Homaya.This episode is part 5 of an 8-part series inspired by one of my most important masterclasses, The Healer. Today I'm opening a transmission on integration and embodiment, and on what it means to live your truth beyond the session.Take a deep breath. Welcome yourself into this space. Give yourself permission to receive the downloads. Do not try to grasp it only through your mind. Let it land fully in your aura.Episode SummaryIn this conversation, I speak about integration as the bridge between spiritual experience and embodiment.I share why your medicine is not only what happens in a healing space, but what people feel in your presence, in your relationships, and in the way you carry yourself when no one is watching.I also invite you to notice where you are still making yourself small so life feels safer, and what becomes possible when you stop minimising your light and allow yourself to be fully seen and fully felt.Key TakeawaysIntegration is embodiment, it is living your truth, not only understanding itYour medicine is your presence, not only what happens in sessionsAsk yourself where you are still making yourself small to feel safeWhen you stop minimising your light, your impact, ease, and prosperity expandTransmission moves people through frequency, not performanceNotice where you divide yourself, spiritual in one place and guarded in anotherAs we close, take a deep breath and feel what is true for you.Not what you learned, not what you understood mentally, but what you are actually living.Notice where you are still separating yourself. Spiritual in one place, guarded in another. Powerful in one moment, reserved in the next. This is not a calling to become more. It is a calling to stop minimising what is already here.If this episode of The Calling Podcast touched you, please leave a review, like and subscribe, and share it with your friends, family, and colleagues, because everyone has a calling.I'd love to hear your thoughts, text the show.

Today we meet EWP adjunct faculty Suryamayi Aswini Clarence-Smith to explore her work in Utopian studies, shaped by her upbringing in Auroville and her roots in Integral Yoga. We discuss integral approaches to education and her CIIS course, Prefiguring Utopia, which asks what a utopian learning experience might look like. We discuss the limits of rational teleology in utopian praxis and the importance of integral frameworks, like the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, that emphasize the complementarity of multiple ways of knowing, harmonizing the planes and parts of the self, necessary to support collective transformation. The conversation also explores the scholar-practitioner as a site of transformation, and she shares a little about her course at CIIS, Awareness Through the Body, which guides students in exploring embodiment and contemplation, experimenting with their physical and psychic constitution, and we discuss this as a practice of cultivating conditions for transformative experiences grounded in revolutionary, evolutionary, and utopian ideals. Book - Prefiguring Utopia: The Auroville Experiment Book Talk - here Dr. Suryamayi Clarence-Smith is an award-winning scholar, educator and facilitator based in Auroville, India, the largest intentional community in the world. Suryamayi holds a PhD in International Development from the University of Sussex, and a BA from the University of California, Berkeley; she is currently affiliated with the Sri Aurobindo International Institute for Educational Research (SAIIER) in Auroville. Her research on utopian and prefigurative practice has been published by leading editors and publishers in the field, notably in the Ralahine Utopian Studies series (Peter Lang), the Alternatives to Capitalism in the 21st century series (Bristol University Press), and the Antipode Book Series (Wiley). Dedicated to sharing the outcomes of her research to various audiences, she lectures internationally in both academic and activist settings.

Rose shares her life's purpose, to be a channel for dharmic work for the benefit of all beings' happiness and freedom from suffering.
Beloved, Scientifically, we only access about 1% of the light spectrum and frequency bands. We call this "real," but it is only a fraction of what exists.While this may be FAR LEFT FIELD as you read this - it would be irresponsible of me NOT to share - in the month's ahead.Aliens, UFO's and what's ahead.RIGHT NOW WE ARE WITNESSING….Government secrecy is crumbling as its costs exceed the risks of transparency.Instead of chaos or Hollywood-style invasions, world leaders, scientists, and the media will gradually normalize extraterrestrial presence.This shift is less about seeing ships in the sky and more about a fundamental identity change—moving from cosmic isolation to realizing we've never been truly alone.The Big PictureWhat's Actually Happening Something remarkable is occurring at the cellular level of every human being on Earth right now. While spiritual communities have long discussed “DNA activation” and “ascension,” there's actually a fascinating interplay between cosmic physics and human biology driving these changes.The Science Behind the construct of the “Veil Thinning”Our sun creates something called a heliosphere - essentially a protective bubble that extends beyond our solar system. This barrier has historically filtered out much of the cosmic radiation and light particles coming from the rest of the galaxy.Fear is the primary anchor that keeps consciousness locked in the body. When the body starts to "shut down" during deep meditation or an exit, the ego panics. Letting go of the fear of other dimensions or of dying - is actually the key to truly living and exploring the beyond.Here's what's changing:* The sun itself is transforming - becoming whiter and brighter than previous decades* The heliosphere is becoming more permeable, allowing more interstellar particles through* Earth's gravitational field is also shifting, permitting more of these “light codes” to reach us* These aren't mystical concepts - they're measurable electromagnetic frequenciesWhat This Means at the Cellular LevelAccording to channeled information - the energies are interacting with our biology in specific ways:The Telomere Connection: The telomeres (protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes) are allowing electromagnetic frequencies to pass through the DNA coils. This is triggering genetic expressions that have been dormant - essentially “remembering” capabilities that were switched off long ago.Mitochondrial Changes: The energy-producing structures in our cells are adapting. The suggestion is that eventually, human cells will be able to hold light directly, potentially reducing our dependence on food for energy.Why We Feel So Tired: The fatigue many people experience isn't random. When these cosmic frequencies interact with our cellular structures, it creates a kind of beneficial stress - similar to how a sauna creates stress proteins that ultimately strengthen the body. Our systems are working overtime to integrate these new frequencies.Ascension Symptoms - not just for EmpathsExplained…..Many people report experiencing:* Chronic fatigue and disrupted sleep patterns* Heart palpitations* Ringing in the ears* Skin issues and sensitivities* Watery eyes* Feeling mentally “scattered” or anxiousYour body is literally acting as a conduit - pulling cosmic energy down through your personal energy field, processing it through your cells, and anchoring it into Earth's crystalline grid system. Where you have emotional, mental, or energetic blockages, this energy has to push through, creating discomfort.Why some people feel it more than others: It depends on where you are in relation to what's called “the singularity” - a convergence point of timelines:* Those “ahead” of it feel energized and clear* Those “in the middle” experience neutral observation* Those “behind” it feel heavy, sluggish, and lost* Earth is a “Free Will Planet”The Bigger Context? You Chose It. Earth holds a unique position in our galaxy as a free will zone. This means:* We've been largely left alone to develop and make our own choices* That changed with nuclear weapons - when the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the effects rippled through quantum fields across the universe, affecting beings everywhere* This triggered intervention - not control, but assistance from various cosmic intelligences who recognized that “the children found the matches”The Living Library ConceptThrough my experience as a intuitive and Akashic Reader, just as the astral has a library of resonance - the Earth is also a “living library” - for every animal species on this planet, there exists an extraterrestrial race that resembles it. This planet was seeded with incredible biodiversity as a kind of cosmic repository.The Hybridization ProgramsThere are ongoing programs creating human-extraterrestrial hybrid children. Some live on ships, others on Earth. The purpose isn't sinister - it's about creating beings who can be a genetic and frequency match for where Earth is heading, since not all current humans will be able to adapt to the higher frequencies.The Timeline We're InWe're currently about 75-78% through an 18-year window (2012-2030) that represents the most significant consciousness expansion in human history.Key markers “suggested”* 1987 (Harmonic Convergence): The starting gun for this shift* 2012: Earth/Gaia herself ascended; karmic laws that had been held in the grids were released* 2025: A year of pushing through density and difficulty - necessary preparation* 2026: A “one year” in numerology - about renewal, not repair; what we create this year sets the cycle for where we're heading through 2030* 2030: The completion of this particular ascension windowThe 3D/5D SplitRather than everyone moving to “5D” as a destination, what's actually happening is more nuanced:* Multiple dimensions exist simultaneously (it's called “multi-dimensional” for a reason)* We fluctuate through various density perspectives constantly* The 3D and 5D “timelines” are being pulled apart - people will increasingly experience very different realities based on their frequencyThe Human Hybridization HistoryOur DNA carries contributions from multiple cosmic sources:The Anunnaki (approximately 350,000 years ago): The primary encoders who created a significant jump in human evolution. They contributed what's called “Enki's gift” - dormant potential in our DNA that's now reactivating. RH negative blood is Anunnaki blood, which explains why RH negative women sometimes have difficulty conceiving - that blood carries programming that resists mixing with the standard human genome.The Pleiadian's contributed quantum aspects to our chromosomes.It's why we process in 12's and 24's. This isn't arbitrary - it's genetic encoding from these cosmic ancestors that determines how we can perceive dimensional realities. Currently, we can only process up to 12 dimensions; expanding beyond that will take approximately 3,000 more years of evolution.Practical Wisdom for Navigating This TimeHOW IT EFFECTS OUR NERVOUS SYSTEM AND MENTAL HEALTHWhen powerful energy waves hit Earth, many people experience anxiety spikes. Here's why:The brain's synapses can't always handle the acceleration of these frequencies. When the mind can't process what's happening, it spirals into fear responses - “I'm being attacked,” “something terrible is happening.” This creates anxiety that feels sourceless.The solution?Self compassion and for the love of God, get off social media. Ground yourself. Stay in your heart rather than your head. The heart processes feeling and compassion; the mind processes logic and fear. During intense energy periods, the heart is your anchor.The Self-Love ParadoxTrue self-love isn't “love and light” without boundaries. That's actually toxic because it:* Doesn't create self-worth* Doesn't allow you to know yourself* Avoids the necessary work of integrationReal self-love means:* Discovering the parts of yourself you've rejected* Learning to love what you've pushed into shadow* Integrating these aspects* Setting firm, compassionate boundaries with othersThe Awakening TruthAwakening isn't awakening to love and light - it's awakening to your trauma. You cannot skip straight to being an “ascended being” without walking through all your density. There are no shortcuts. You have to run the marathon.Key Principles for This Time* Go within, not without - All answers exist inside you. External teachers and resources are helpful, but they're not necessary if you can access your own inner knowing.* Feel, don't think - You don't think energy; you feel it. The ego wants timelines and logic; source wants to guide you through feeling and authenticity.* Surrender, don't trust - Trust is conditional (”I'll do my part if you do yours”). Surrender is unconditional allowing.* Internalize, don't externalize - Stop projecting onto external mirrors. Learn from what life shows you by looking inward.* Stay in compassionate detachment - Observe without judgment. Detach without disconnecting.* Release victimhood - The belief that “rogue aliens did this to us” or “we have no free will” is the ego avoiding responsibility. Starseeds and lightworkers are just as powerful as any cosmic being - they simply don't believe it yet.The Deeper MeaningThe purpose of this entire journey? To allow source - your higher self, your soul - to work through you in a state of non-resistance, creating healing and synchronicity for yourself and everything around you.We're not just passive recipients of cosmic change. We're active participants in ascending a planet - something that's never been done quite this way before.The “great experiment” is seeing if a free-will planet can raise its consciousness collectively, and we're well ahead of schedule.The work isn't easy. It requires releasing everything built from fear, trauma, and conditioning. It means becoming unrecognizable to those who knew the old version of you. It often means losing relationships that can't match your new frequency.But it's also the most profound opportunity any soul could choose - to be here, now, participating in this transformation.Stay in your hearts. Where your heart is, where your feeling is, where your compassion is - that's where we save each other. I truly believe every single soul here without question becomes free.Love, KassandraPS: If this lit up your heart and mind to go deeper into infinite love, then I'd love for you to experience the LIGHT BETWEEN ORACLE.

This week, we'll be joined by Marc Walrod, Controls Integration Leader at Clearsulting. Marc shares why controls integration needs to start far earlier than most organizations think, often in what he calls phase zero of a major transformation. From ERP implementations to rolling out AI across the enterprise, he explains how waiting too long to involve controls can create costly rework and unnecessary risk. He also walks through common myths management holds about controls, like assuming a well-known ERP system comes with sufficient controls already built in and outlines practical warning signs teams can watch for to ensure controls are part of the conversation before go live.

In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner unpacks one of the most mysterious visions in scripture: Jacob's Ladder (Genesis 28).Far from a story about life after death, Jacob's Ladder is revealed as a living blueprint for spiritual embodiment — the pattern of descending into matter and reascending into divine awareness while still in the flesh.Drawing connections across ancient traditions, Kabbalah, alchemy, astrology, Gnostic cosmology, Egyptian initiation, and Christian mysticism, Meghan explores:The seven (and eighth) rungs of spiritual ascentThe process of overcoming the natural manShame, pride, attachment, fear, and spiritual authorityEmotional regulation and embodied wisdomPersonal sovereignty vs. outsourcing authorityIntegration of heaven and earth within the selfMary Magdalene's ascent vision as a parallel ladderWhat it means to encounter Christ withinThis episode reframes Jacob's declaration — “This is the gate of heaven” — as an inward revelation: the temple is you.If you are studying the Old Testament, exploring esoteric Christianity, or walking the path of spiritual initiation, this episode offers a grounded yet expansive lens on the ladder that exists within your own anatomy, psychology, and soul.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction & app announcements 04:22 Genesis 28: Jacob's vision 07:13 The ladder across ancient traditions 09:15 The law of correspondence (“as above, so below”) 10:58 Descension into matter & reascension 12:42 The cyclical, chiastic nature of the ladderThe Seven Rungs18:27 Rung 1 – From shame to purification 22:47 Rung 2 – From intellectual pride to embodied wisdom 25:55 Rung 3 – Attachment to emotional regulation 30:02 Rung 4 – Fear to courage (center of the chiasm) 34:24 Rung 5 – Aggression to clarity & truth 37:57 Rung 6 – External authority to spiritual sovereignty 39:59 Rung 7 – Integration & joy 41:51 Rung 8 – Encountering Christ44:58 Mary Magdalene's ascent vision 55:41 “The house of God is within you” 57:19 Invitation into spiritual educationResources: The Ascent Vision of Mary Magdalene Questions about Return to the Garden?

Many investors feel a real tension today. They want their portfolios to reflect biblical convictions. They care about justice, stewardship, and human dignity. Yet they're also navigating volatility, inflation, and economic uncertainty. When markets feel unstable, the question quietly surfaces: Do I have to choose between faithfulness and financial performance? The answer may surprise you. Today, we sat down with Stella Tai, Stewardship Investing Impact and Analysis Manager at Praxis Investment Management, one of the country's oldest faith-based mutual fund families and a valued underwriter of this program. Our conversation centered on whether values-aligned investing can truly pursue both impact and competitive returns—even in uncertain times. The Tension Investors Feel In strong markets, impact investing can sound inspiring and straightforward. But when markets grow choppy, many investors feel drawn into survival mode. “I need to focus on returns.” “I can't afford to think about impact right now.” Stella noted that this tension isn't just financial—it's spiritual. People of faith don't want to pull back from caring about stewardship or community flourishing. But they also worry: Will my returns suffer if I invest with conviction? That's an honest question. Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 21:5 that “the plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance.” There's a difference between being responsive and being reactionary. When anxiety drives decisions, fear often replaces conviction—and that's when costly mistakes happen. Discipline Over Panic At Praxis, stewardship in uncertain markets begins with discipline. Stella described three anchors: Financial rigor in every market cycle. Serious analysis, ongoing evaluation of risk and opportunity, and team-based decision-making help ensure emotions don't drive the ship. Integration of impact with fundamentals. Impact and performance are not competing priorities. They are designed to work together. A long-term orientation. Rooted in stewardship, not speculation. Hebrews 12:11 reminds us that discipline may feel painful in the moment, but it yields a peaceful fruit of righteousness. That's true in spiritual formation—and in investing. What Values-Aligned Performance Actually Looks Like One common misconception is that screening companies based on faith convictions automatically sacrifices performance. Stella explained that Praxis uses what's called benchmark tracking. In simple terms, that means aiming to closely track the broader market while thoughtfully excluding companies that don't align with biblical values. The goal isn't to “beat the market.” It's to minimize what's known as “tracking error”—the gap between a fund's returns and its benchmark. In other words, you can seek market-level returns while owning companies that better reflect your convictions. Over full market cycles—not just in a single quarter—faith-based investors should expect competitive returns. That commitment to consistency is central. Impact Beyond Screening Screening is often the most familiar strategy in values-aligned investing. But real impact doesn't stop there. Praxis recently released its Real Impact Report, highlighting a framework that includes multiple strategies—from screening and shareholder advocacy to direct community investing. One powerful example involved long-term engagement with a large utility company in the Southeast. Instead of divesting, Praxis used its ownership stake to advocate for: A just transition for workers and communities as coal plants retire Science-based emissions reduction targets Responsible planning tied to renewable energy growth The company published just transition metrics and began tracking progress. That's what patient, long-term engagement looks like. Rather than stepping away, they stayed invested—believing transformation often happens through steady, faithful presence. Where to Begin If you're intrigued by impact investing but feel overwhelmed, start with clarity. Ask yourself: What values matter most to me? What kind of world do I want my capital to help build? What are my long-term financial goals? Then consider working with an advisor familiar with faith-based investing options. You don't have to master every strategy. Firms like Praxis Investment Management handle the research, engagement, and implementation. Your role is simpler—and profound: to say, "I want my money to reflect my values." When multiplied across many investors, even small portfolio decisions can move markets toward greater justice, dignity, and stewardship. And in uncertain times, that kind of disciplined conviction may be one of the most faithful investments you can make. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 60 and recently lost a long-time job. I have about $1.5 million in a volatile 401(k) and would prefer not to draw from it yet. With my wife working part-time and income limited, how should I reposition this account to make it safer and navigate this transition? If I take Social Security before full retirement age and accept the reduced benefit, how do cost-of-living adjustments factor in? Do future COLAs help offset that early-retirement reduction?

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything “right,” yet still feel off, disconnected, or overwhelmed? In this deeply insightful episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau takes us on an extraordinary journey through the concept of soul healing, exploring the profound truth that your soul is never broken. Healing doesn't come from fixing your soul; rather, it is about allowing your soul to recalibrate your human experience.Susan reveals how painful disruptions in life, from grief to rejection, serve as moments of recalibration and the soul's powerful call to re-align with truth. With compassion, Susan offers a gentle yet firm approach to letting go of false identities, shedding the narratives that hold us back, and embracing the clarity that comes from honoring our soul's wisdom. It's time to stop running from pain and start integrating it, allowing the soul to guide you toward true healing and steady inner peace.In this episode, Susan highlights the importance of not only emotional regulation but embodying personal truths and creating boundaries. By integrating shadow work, recognizing the true source of wounds, and releasing what no longer serves us, we allow the soul's clarity to shine through. This is not just about surviving, it's about thriving and growing, even when life feels uncertain or out of control.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction[01:30] Understanding the Soul's True Nature[03:05] Recalibrating the Human Experience[05:00] Releasing False Identities[07:10] Grief and Emotional Healing[09:00] Radical Honesty with Yourself[11:40] Regulating Your Nervous System[13:00] Shadow Work: Integrating the Wounds[16:25] The Importance of Boundaries[18:30] Releasing Control[21:10] Moving Through Disruptions[23:00] Aligning with Your Soul's Truth[25:00] Living with Grace[27:00] Practical Tools for Recalibration[30:00] ConclusionNotable Quotes[12:00] "The wound is not what happened, but the moment you left yourself to survive what happened."[14:00] "Boundaries aren't about changing others, they're about how you choose to respond when others' behavior challenges you."[16:30] "Grief comes to clear distortion, and when it does, your soul will lead you to healing."[20:00] "When life feels like it's falling apart, it's often the soul's way of reorganizing what no longer serves you."[22:50] "Pain doesn't punish; it illuminates. It shows you where the misalignment is, so you can heal it."[25:15] "Integration is not about fixing yourself; it's about embracing every part of you with compassion and truth."Susan GrauSusan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

Your psyche becomes fragmented because of suppressed emotions and unintegrated past experiences. These suppressed energies block the natural upward flow of Shakti, which leads to psychological suffering and confusion. Trying to fix internal issues by changing the outside world only results in temporary relief and greater entanglement. True spiritual growth comes from releasing the suppressed parts of yourself, practicing non-resistance, and refusing to store more disturbances. By doing this, you become whole, integrated, and attuned to the divine energy within, realizing you were always a great being all along. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2026 Michael A. Singer.

This episode revisits Dr. Sui Wong's insights on how the eyes are neural tissue that can reveal early signs of brain, vascular, and metabolic issues, and reframes migraine as a common, often invisible neurological condition that causes brain fog and cognitive symptoms. Actionable takeaways include scheduling regular dilated eye exams, stabilizing blood sugar, prioritizing sleep and retinal blood flow, reducing digital strain, and tracking migraine triggers to prevent worsening symptoms. In today's review of EP 342 with Dr. Sui Wong from August 2024, we cover: • Why the eyes are considered an extension of the brain — and how the retina is neural tissue • How eye exams may provide early insight into overall neurological and vascular health • What drusen are, why small amounts can be age-related, and why monitoring retinal changes matters • The powerful idea that prevention begins before symptoms become severe • Why migraine is not “just a headache,” but a neurological condition affecting 1 in 7 people globally • The hidden symptoms of migraine — including brain fog, mood changes, word-finding difficulty, and cognitive slowing • Why migraine is a leading cause of disability in young women and often goes unrecognized • The connection between blood sugar regulation, sleep, stress, and neurological function • Practical ways to support long-term brain health through awareness, monitoring, and daily lifestyle habits • How small, consistent actions build cognitive resilience over time Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and here we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience—so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. When we launched this podcast seven years ago, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask— not in school, not in business, and not in life: If results matter—and they matter now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make these results happen? Most of us were taught what to do. Very few of us were taught how to think under pressure, how to regulate emotion, how to sustain motivation, or even how to produce consistent results without burning out. That question led me into a deep exploration of the mind–brain–results connection—and how neuroscience applies to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, we bring you leading experts to break down complex science and translate it into practical strategies you can apply immediately. When the brain, body, and emotions are aligned, performance stops feeling forced—and starts to feel sustainable. Season 14 showed us what alignment looks like in real life. We looked at goals and mental direction, rewiring the brain, future-ready learning and leadership, self-leadership, which ALL led us to inner alignment. And now, Season 15 is about understanding how that alignment is built—so we can build it ourselves, using predictable, science-backed principles. Because alignment doesn't happen all at once. It happens by using a sequence. And when we understand the order of that sequence — we can replicate it. By repeating this sequence over and over again, until magically (or predictably) we notice our results have changed. Season 15 we've organized as a review roadmap, where each episode explores one foundational brain system—and each phase builds on the one before it. Season 15 Roadmap: Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety Phase 2 — Neurochemistry & Motivation Phase 3 — Movement, Learning & Cognition Phase 4 — Perception, Emotion & Social Intelligence Phase 5 — Integration, Insight & Meaning PHASE 1: REGULATION & SAFETY Staples: Sleep + Stress Regulation Core Question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Anchor Episodes Episode 384[i] — Baland Jalal How learning begins: curiosity, sleep, imagination, creativity Episode 385[ii] — Bruce Perry “What happened to you?” — trauma, rhythm, relational safety Episode 387 Sui Wong Autonomic balance, lifestyle medicine, brain resilience Episode 388 Rohan Dixit HRV, real-time self-regulation, nervous system literacy Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety We have reviewed Dr. Baland Jalal where we were reminded that before learning can happen, before curiosity can emerge, before motivation or growth is possible—the brain must feel safe. Then we looked at trauma and relational safety with Dr. Bruce Perry's Book, What Happened to You, and we move onto Dr. Sui Wong, with autonomic balance, lifestyle medicine and brain resilience.
AI is settling in as infrastructure within newsrooms, a layer quietly reshaping how journalists discover information, how stories move through production, and how audiences increasingly expect news to reach them.In this episode of Newsroom Robots, recorded live in New York City at TV News Check's News Tech Forum, host Nikita Roy brings together four industry leaders to examine the tangible ways AI is transforming newsroom operations. The conversation features Ryan Struyk, Director of AI Initiatives at CNN; Rubina Madan Fillion, Associate Editorial Director of AI Initiatives at The New York Times; Arlyn Gajilan, Global Editor of AI Development and Integration at Reuters; and Burt Herman, Co-Founder and Principal of Hacks/Hackers.The discussion focuses on defining questions for the news industry: Where is AI already delivering real operational impact? How should newsrooms adapt to a world of “liquid content” and AI-mediated distribution? Is human-in-the-loop governance sustainable, or is it already breaking down? As trust in news declines and trust in AI interfaces rises, what becomes journalism's true competitive advantage?In this episode, they cover:03:10 — Where AI is already embedded inside CNN's newsroom workflows04:25 — How The New York Times uses AI to power investigative reporting and the “Manosphere Report”07:30 — How Reuters compressed story production from minutes to seconds and feature development from three months to three weeks11:44 — Why Hacks/Hackers is urging small newsrooms to think from first principles before adopting AI15:15 — The rise of liquid content and what it means when audiences reshape journalism into their preferred formats23:24 — Why local news holds a unique advantage in an AI-mediated information landscape29:12 — Five years from now: What newsrooms hope they get right Hosted on Acast.

Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://thriving-leader-2026.lovable.app/Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode of The Intentional Agribusiness Leader, Mark reconnects with one of the first CEOs he ever worked for, Rich Reynertson, President of Cultura Technologies.Rich oversees a portfolio of 14 agricultural software companies that touch nearly every part of the ag supply chain—from grain scale systems to compliance tracking in global fruit and vegetable markets. With more than 500 employees and consistent double-digit growth, the complexity is real.But this conversation isn't about software.It's about intentional leadership.Rich defines intentionality through mission clarity: deploy capital at strong returns while improving the agricultural supply chain. Everything filters through those two commitments.During COVID, he embraced a powerful leadership insight: you can't give employees certainty—but you can give them clarity. He challenges leaders to help their teams focus on three things:Know who you are.Know your role.Be a positive influence in your community.As Cultura expanded through acquisitions, Rich faced a common growth challenge: strong independent companies that lacked a shared identity. Instead of forcing alignment through top-down mandates, he adopted a different model.“Circles are better than rows.”Rows create spectators. Circles create ownership.By forming intentional circles—small groups committed to shared outcomes—Cultura fostered collaboration across businesses that once operated independently. These circles duplicate each year, growing culture organically rather than imposing it from above.The conversation also dives into the friction of mergers and acquisitions. Integration always creates resistance—on both sides. Employees worry about job security. Acquirers sometimes underestimate the emotional impact on their own teams. Rich reminds leaders that friction isn't failure—it's part of the process.Beyond business growth, Rich shares two books that shaped his leadership journey:Corporate Life Cycles by Ichak Adizes — a framework comparing business growth stages to human development, helping leaders anticipate natural organizational transitions.Strength to Strength by Arthur Brooks — a reflection on career transitions, long-term happiness, and preparing for the next season of contribution beyond traditional career milestones.The episode closes with a powerful reminder: leadership isn't about holding onto people. It's about helping them grow—even if that growth eventually leads them elsewhere.If you can help people know who they are, understand their role, and become a positive force in their community—you've done your job.Listen if you are:Leading through acquisitions or rapid growthTrying to unify independent teams under one cultureNavigating merger frictionBuilding leadership pipelines inside your organizationThinking about your own next season of leadership

Arthur Herman argues that the American worldview rests on three Scottish pillars: unity of knowledge, common sense, and the harmonious integration of modern scientific discovery with ancient religious revelation. 4.1900 MEXICO
What if the strategies you've used to avoid pain are the same ones keeping you disconnected from your soul? So much of our desire to strive and optimize is simply the ego's way of protecting us from discomfort. We call it growth, but in reality, it's avoidance. My guest today is my good friend Kyle Cease. Kyle was named one of Comedy Central's Top 10 Comics to Watch in 2009, and he's the author of my favorite book I read in 2025, The Illusion of Money. He was on the path to Hollywood stardom until something deeper called him to do what he was destined to do: become a spiritual teacher. Not to achieve more fame or money, but to develop a deeper connection to God, truth, and spiritual growth. In this episode, we go deeper than I've ever gone on this podcast. We talk about how the internet is bombarding us with first-level insights, why "positive thinking" fails to overcome our personal struggles, and how our addiction to impact, productivity, and even self-help can keep us from real healing. Kyle also shares how he's learning to let his ego die, how suffering is necessary in order to truly heal, and why connecting with your soul on a deeper level will unlock your biggest breakthroughs to achieve your goals.
