Today is the international day of the 'ciotóg', or left-handed people, known for their creativity, problem-solving skills and unique brain connections. But could our handedness be something we learn rather than something we're born with? A new study suggests hand dominance may develop through practice, challenging what we thought we knew about why some of us become lefties and other righties.Joining John Fardy to discuss is Dr. Natalie Uomini, Scientific Consultant and Editor.

What if the next level of leadership isn't about doing more—but learning to lead differently from within?In this episode of the Conscious Leadership Revolution, Susan Hobson sits down with high-performance leadership advisor and Inner Space Mindfulness founder Sher Rana to explore what it means to lead with calm power in a world defined by pressure, disruption, uncertainty, and accelerating change.After a traumatic brain injury disrupted Sher's career and sense of identity, she began a profound journey into neuroplasticity, mindfulness, self-compassion, and the deeper architecture of sustainable high performance.Together, Susan and Sher unpack why awareness is foundational to conscious leadership, how attachment to achievement and identity can create suffering, and why today's leaders need the capacity to regulate their nervous systems, maintain clarity under pressure, and remain deeply connected to their humanity.They also explore the evolution from self-actualization to self-transcendence—the point where leadership becomes less about proving yourself and more about serving something bigger than yourself.In this conversation, you'll discover:• Why conscious leadership begins with awareness• What “calm power” looks like in high-pressure environments• Why self-compassion can become a high-performance advantage• How leaders can move beyond autopilot and reactivity• Why the inner game matters even more in the age of AI• The connection between conscious leadership, parenting, teams, and culture• Why legacy leadership ultimately requires moving beyond the egoThe future of leadership will demand more than intelligence, strategy, and execution. It will require clarity, presence, compassion, emotional regulation, and the courage to lead from the inside out.Because when leaders change how they lead themselves, they change what becomes possible for everyone around them.

The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is observed annually on August 9, celebrating indigenous cultures, achievements, and rights worldwide. The indigenous Aztec people still exist today. While the Aztec Empire fell to the Spanish in 1521, the actual ethnic groups—primarily known as the Nahua—survived. Today, over 1.5 million people in Mexico speak Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs), and millions more are of direct Aztec descent. Náhuatl is still the most widely spoken Indigenous language family in Mexico.

We marked International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples on the 9th of August, a day to recognise Indigenous cultures, communities and their ongoing struggles for rights and recognition. In Sarawak, few issues are more fundamental to those struggles than land. The documentary Long Moh takes us to the Kenyah Lepu Tau community in Ulu Baram, where people are defending their ancestral forest from logging while creating their own community-led approach to conservation. But aside from one village's story and struggle, it's also about who gets to decide what happens to ancestral land, and what Indigenous-led conservation and development can look like. We catch up with filmmaker Albert Bansa to discuss his own story and roots in Sarawak, what led him to tell stories about Indigenous communities and their relationship with the land, and also to dissect his film “Long Moh” and the bigger questions behind it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Burkina Faso, the military-led government has launched a controversial campaign targeting what it describes as religious extremism. Transitional leader Captain Ibrahim Traoré, appears to be at odds with sections of the country's Muslim community after the arrests of some clerics and signing of a new law aimed at curbing radicalisation and extremist preaching. The government has announced plans to recall about 800 Burkinabè students studying Islamic law in Arab countries, while introducing a requirement for government approval before students can pursue similar studies abroad.And today marks International Day of Friendship by the United Nations, a day that recognises how friendships between individuals, communities and cultures can foster understanding, strengthen connections and even contribute to peace.

Azim Ahmed goes on a journey to explore spiritual vocation across our rich faith traditions in Wales. The word vocation originates from the Latin vocatio meaning 'a call' or 'summons', and while it remains closely tied to religious calling, the modern concept includes a broader range of paths and life pursuits. In the programme today, Azim explores this range of callings; from a young woman training for ordination at a Buddhist Retreat Centre in rural Brecon, to a Muslim teacher helping children in the centre of Cardiff to learn about their religion. We'll hear from a Jewish educator supporting adults to reconnect with Judaism, and from a young Hindu woman at the Shree Swaminarayan Hindu Temple in Cardiff who's supporting her community to prepare for celebrations for the International Day of Yoga.

According to statistics from the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic, 68 criminal offenses with a racial or extremist motive were recorded in 2025. However, these figures do not reflect the large number of cases that go unreported. Hate crimes are a problem affecting society as a whole because they target victims based on their perceived “difference” — such as nationality, ethnic origin, religion, language, skin color, or sexual orientation. For years, the Human Rights League, with the support of the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic, has provided accredited professional assistance—including legal, social, and psychological support—to victims of such crimes. On the occasion of the International Day for Countering Hate Speech (June 18), we spoke about the situation in Slovakia, the impact of hate crimes, and the support available to victims with Lukáš Novák, lawyer at the Human Rights League and coordinator of its victim-support project, Silvia Moravčíková, a social worker, and Marianna Heřmánková, a psychologist from IPčko.

Yoga is often portrayed as a series of poses performed on a mat, perhaps accompanied by incense, calming music, and the promise of becoming more flexible. But for millions of people around the world, yoga is far more than exercise. It's a philosophy, a spiritual practice, a community, a way of life, and a framework for navigating life's inevitable ups and downs. In this special episode of The Happier Life Project, Gabby Sanderson sits down in person with Zoe Taylor, founder of Ministry of Yoga in Lisbon, to look beyond the clichés and explore what yoga can really offer us. Tying into International Day of Yoga on 21 June and this year's theme of Yoga for Healthy Ageing, the conversation examines how yoga can help us not just live longer, but live well for longer; mentally, emotionally, and physically. Fresh from her own yoga teacher training with Zoe, Gabby brings a personal perspective to a discussion exploring yoga's philosophy and spiritual roots, the relevance of the Yamas and Niyamas – yoga's ethical guidelines – in modern life, the connection between yoga and mental wellbeing, and the importance of community, resilience, and finding calm in an increasingly chaotic world. Whether you're a devoted yogi, yoga-curious, sceptical of the stereotypes, or someone who's never stepped foot on a mat, this episode invites you to see yoga through a different lens - not as a performance of flexibility, but as a lifelong companion for wellbeing, helping us move through life with greater awareness, intention, and compassion. About Zoe Taylor: Originally from Tasmania, Australia, Zoe discovered yoga in 2010 and has since completed more than 700 hours of teacher training across Europe and Asia. She founded Ministry of Yoga in Lisbon in 2016 and has led over 5,000 classes, retreats, and workshops, blending movement, philosophy, and meditation to support wellbeing both on and off the mat.

Children in Ukraine have spent years living with air raid sirens, disrupted education and the daily uncertainty of war. Many are forced to learn online or in underground classrooms as communities adapt to the realities of a prolonged conflict.During recent visits to Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the UN's Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Vanessa Frazier, met children, families, and officials on both sides of the border. Ahead of the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, observed on 4 June, she spoke to UN News's Evgeniya Kleshcheva about what she witnessed and why keeping children at the centre of all responses remains essential.

This is not an episode. Not a proper episode. But...Today's topic is some absolutely killer, very old Slayer footage that is bustin' out all over the internet. This is probably the best Slayer video I have ever seen. And I've seen most of it. It's live footage. It's a long, long interview. It's live from the Slaytanic inner sanctum. It's ALL. It's everything. And it's from a truly historical junction for the band: in that zero-gravity moment between when Reign in Blood was finished and released.Click the link below to watch ⁠Markit Aneight⁠'s breathtaking act of Indiana Jones-level Slaytanic archeology.

In this powerful message from Elevate City Church's Half-Hearted series, Peachtree Corners Campus Pastor Thomas Cheeseman challenges believers to put to death missional apathy and live wholeheartedly for Jesus. Preached on International Day for the Unreached and Pentecost Sunday, this sermon explores Mark 5 and the story of the demon-possessed man who was radically transformed by Jesus and sent to reach his city with the Gospel. Thomas shares a passionate call to repentance, consecration, evangelism, and revival, reminding us that there are still 3.4 billion unreached people around the world who have never heard the name of Jesus. If you've been feeling spiritually complacent, distant from God, or stuck going through the motions, this message will reignite your passion for the Great Commission, the secret place, and sharing your testimony. Discover how your story can be a weapon against darkness and why God is calling everyday believers to boldly make Jesus known in their neighborhoods, cities, and the nations.

A Third of Us: What It Takes to Reach the Unreached "There are about 9.2 billion people in the world today, and of those, about a third of them have yet to have access to the gospel." "A third of humanity has yet to have a clear presentation of the gospel." Matthew 28:18-20 "The core of what we're to do is to make disciples of the nations." "The sending role is as important as the going role." Mark 16:15 "People who have these three 'nos' - no church, no Bible, and no [Christian] individual around them - are the ones that we're focusing on when it comes to the unreached."

John 20:21 "It takes human beings to share the gospel in a way that other human beings will truly understand it."

We need to know that God is preparing hearts ahead of us as we take the gospel to these people groups." "We are commanded to take the gospel [...] to all the world to every creature, so we see that as our task and we don't lose heart."

We've got a special delivery coming your way… a brand-new miniseries! Life of a Midwife brings you raw, honest, and deeply personal stories from midwives — past and present — as they share the moments that shaped not just their careers, but their lives.Our first episode drops on Tuesday 5th May, perfectly timed to celebrate International Day of the Midwife! And new episodes delivered every Thursday after that.So join us as we honour the voices behind some of life's most extraordinary moments

Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!*** Correction: "I did notice one mistake at the end of the conversation regarding a statistic. I said that maternal mortality is 4 women per 1,000 live births in The Netherlands versus 1,000 out of 1,000 live births in other countries. What I meant to say was 4 per 100,000 and 1,000 per 100,000 live births." - LiselotteMay 5 is International Day of the Midwife and the theme this year is "One Million More Midwives". The message is simple but urgent: the world is facing a critical shortage of midwives, and without investment in the workforce, women and newborns will continue to pay the price. Every two minutes, a woman dies from pregnancy or childbirth complications, most of them preventable. Evidence shows that with one million more midwives, we could prevent 67% of maternal deaths, 64% of newborn deaths and 65% of stillbirths — saving more than 4.3 million lives by 2035. To discuss all of this and more, our guest this week is Liselotte Kweekel - a midwife with 15 years of experience in community-based care in the Netherlands, including home births and running an independent midwifery practice. She currently works as a Midwife Advisor at the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM). Alongside her clinical work, Liselotte has worked for and with midwives' associations for many years, supporting their development and strengthening their role at national and international level. She has extensive experience building partnerships through twinning, supporting long-term exchange, learning, and collaboration between midwives across different countries and care settings. In recent years, her work has focused on supporting midwives and midwives' associations in humanitarian and crisis-affected contexts, working closely with UN partners and national stakeholders to strengthen midwifery leadership and response capacity. Liselotte also volunteers with Doctors of the World in the Netherlands, supporting undocumented migrants in accessing appropriate sexual and reproductive healthcare. She is also a mother of two daughters.Where to find more information:International Confederation of Midwives website: https://millionmore.org/ICM petition: https://millionmore.org/petition/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/world_midwives/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-confederation-of-midwives/posts/?feedView=allSupport the showBe part of the conversation by sharing your thoughts about this episode, what you may have learned, how the conversation affected you.
