Today's guest is Laurie Handlers — Tantra educator, talk show host, and intimacy coach. She's the author of Sex & Happiness: The Tantric Laws of Intimacy and leads programs through Butterfly Workshops, Inc. and the International School of Temple Arts. In this ~40-minute episode, you'll learn: Why long-term sex gets better only with intentional effort (after the honeymoon & kids). The starter “effort stack”: schedule date night, learn to dance, have the conversation. How to decode complaints into clear requests—without hurting feelings. The training mindset: treat intimacy as a skill (courses/coaching > guessing). The presence playbook: breathe together, watch her face, phones down. The 10/10 framework women name: Presence, Connection, Safety, Communication, Skill. A simple boundary script and the repair rule: “First to return to love wins.” Listen now. ________________________________________________________________

Hello and welcome to episode #2 of season 2 of the LILA Lions Athletics Podcast! This bilingual athletics podcast contains interviews, news and recaps from coaches, student-athletes, and the Athletics team at the International School of Los Angeles.

At the core of Jungian psychology lies the concept of individuation, a lifelong journey of growing into one's whole self. It's a process of self-discovery that can feel both inspiring and challenging as each layer of inauthenticity or protective strategy surfaces, then sloughs away. One therapist combines her Jungian background with NARM's spirit of inquiry to help her clients embrace the nature of individuation and reconnect to their unique selves. On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes Megan Holm (LMFT), NARM® Master Therapist, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner to discuss the beautiful and unsettling unfolding that can occur when we commit to exploring depth within ourselves. The pair also explores where NARM and Jungian psychology overlap––developing the capacity to hold tension that arises with deeper self-exploration and creating space for noticing rather than judging. About Megan Holm: Megan Holm is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), NARM® Master Therapist, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner in private practice. She has served as a training assistant in NARM Therapist and Master Therapist Trainings. Megan is currently a training candidate at the International School of Analytical Psychology (ISAP) in Zurich, Switzerland. She continues to see clients in the US, working on themes of relationship patterns, belonging, grief and loss, and self-discovery. Megan is most interested in what Carl Jung calls Individuation: the lifelong process of becoming one's own unique and whole self. It is a process of self-realization and discovery, seeing ourselves as we are rather than as we wish to be. Our symptoms are a door for this work – they invite us to look inwards, to listen to what has gone untended or under-nourished. Fantasy, imagination, and dreams offer further guidance, helping us to see more clearly who we are and what we uniquely bring to the world. Knowing oneself is an undertaking – a humbling journey that Megan feels honored to take together.

Facing tightening SGMA regulations and the specter of future droughts, how should we be designing the almond orchard of the future? On the podcast, Franz Niederholzer discusses his idea of a test almond orchard at the Nickels Soil Lab with different rootstocks provided reduced irrigation treatments from planting onward. Should a grower provide full irrigation to fewer acres, or reduced irrigation to their existing farming footprint?Come to an upcoming extension meeting!2025 International School on Microirrigation for Crop Production: Class Lectures at UC Davis October 13-15, and field trips October 16-17.

Researchers have been conducting almond irrigation and other studies at the Nickels Soil Lab in Arbuckle, CA for over 50 years! On the podcast, Franz Niederholzer revisited research on early microirrigation, the consequences of late season drought in young almonds, and the implications of one-year of season-long drought in mature almonds. Dialing in irrigation is the greatest task for California orchardists, and we should continue to learn from the lessons of our predecessors.

In this episode Kim talks about how we can build teacher agency during coaching conversations - by providing structure to their thoughts.  This episode was inspired by a conversation with one of Kim's clients in The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program when they were going through the “In Practice” module of the course. They were starting to have coaching conversations for the first time and realized that even though their conversations with Kim during the Office Hours in the program felt so natural, there was actually a structure and a process that she was following, even though it felt so seamless in the moment! If we want our coaching conversations to feel seamless and natural, we need to create space for unpacking a lot of ideas, while at the same time providing structure - this is part of the art of coaching. Being able to make a complex conversation feel “easy”. Find the show notes for this episode here.

Environmental bud failure showed up in almonds in a big way in 2025. From a subtle delay of leafing in parts of Nonpareil canopies throughout the Central Valley to some orchards in the northern Sacramento Valley with only half leaf out. This disorder also called leafing failure, severely affected many growers in the northern Sacramento Valley. Dr. Tom Gradziel (UC Davis) gets into the complexities of this disorder, as well as discussing the unusual bloom in 2025.

If you work in the almond industry, you likely know non-infectious bud failure (NBF) is bad news. However, do you understand why NBF happens, and that we're likely to see it on future almond varieties, not just on Carmel? Tom Gradziel discusses the science behind NBF and the work UC researchers together with nurseries have done to make massive gains in addressing the problem.

This is the first #coachbetter episode for season seven of the podcast and Kim highlights 5 key themes that have been percolating to the surface in her work over the past academic year. All of these topics have been a big feature of the in-person work Kim has been doing, our global cohorts of The Coach, and the long term consulting work she does with schools.  The themes are: Maintaining confidentiality (with transparency) in coaching relationships (and the importance of separating coaching from any aspect of evaluation, supervision and appraisal) The power of data as a pathway to understanding the impact of coaching The importance of case studies & sharing your impact within your school community; and Developing a coaching mindset and coachability on staff; Finding hope, joy and presence in our work in schools Kim is sharing these because so many of the coaches that she works with, particularly in our global cohort of The Coach, feel like they are alone in these conversations. They wonder if they are the only one who is thinking about and trying to start conversations about these topics in their school. If that sounds like you, you are not alone.  Find the show notes for this episode here.

Regenerative agriculture is currently all the rage these days in some circles. With a broad range of practices that can be classified as regenerative, it still can feel like a mushy term that means different things to different people (which is actually by design). Amelie Gaudin sits down with Phoebe Gordon to discuss what qualifies as a regenerative practice, how the focus differs from “conventional” agriculture, and the science behind it (spoiler alert: you're probably already familiar with a lot of it!).

Unsere heutige Folge ist eine besondere, denn sie ist nicht nur ein Gespräch, sondern auch ein Wiedersehen. Unser Gast hat an unserem New Work Masterskills Executive Programm teilgenommen, und wie ihr wisst: Wenn wir mit Menschen in engerem Austausch stehen, merkt man das auch in unseren Gesprächen. Unser heutiger Gast gründete bereits mit 17 Jahren sein erstes Unternehmen, anfangs baute er Rechner zusammen, später Webseiten. Seine Leidenschaft für Technik, Unternehmertum und digitale Geschäftsmodelle hat ihn seither nicht mehr losgelassen. Es folgten Stationen als Geschäftsführer, Interimsmanager, CTO, Head of Engineering, immer mit einem klaren Fokus: wie man Technologie in die Breite bringt, Menschen einbindet und Organisationen wirklich zukunftsfähig macht. Er war mehrere Jahre in führender Rolle bei Lensing Media tätig, ist heute selbstständig als Berater und Facilitator aktiv, unter anderem als Dozent an der International School of Management und als Initiator und Gründungsmitglied von unfold e.V., einer Organisation, die sich für das Thema Stärkenorintierung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen einsetzt. Seit mehr als acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 500 Gesprächen mit mehr als 600 Persönlichkeiten haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat – und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wie prägt es einen, wenn man als Erster in der Familie ein akademisches Berufsleben einschlägt und sich seinen Weg Schritt für Schritt selbst erarbeitet? Wie verändert es den Blick auf Technologie und Zusammenarbeit, wenn man mit 15 verstanden hat, was ein Computer alles ermöglichen kann? Und wie beeinflusst das eigene Stärkenprofil die berufliche Richtung – insbesondere, wenn man beginnt, Stärken bewusst in die Arbeit mit Menschen und Organisationen zu integrieren? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei „On the Way to New Work“ – heute mit Sebastian Schipper. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

Michigan-based Saroki's Crispy Chicken & Pizza pairs delicious chicken and pizza in a mega gas station setting. However, it wasn't always this way. The brand, which has 19 location, used to have good pizza, but not great pizza. Owner Todd Saroki went to California to study under master pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani. What he brought back was a pizza product customers love.Todd Saroki and his brother Curtis Saroki cut their teeth working in a kitchen in a uncle's gas station. They eventually took what they learned and opened Saroki's in a large gas station pavilion."We opened up with just our own recipes," Todd Saroki said. "We learned as we went, and we were doing well in the pizza space. We liked our pizza, but we didn't love it. When we were thinking about opening up our second location ... we said we have to have better pizza."Todd Saroki went to a pizza show, sat in one of Gemignani's seminars, and eventually went to Gemignani's International School of Pizza.Today they use high-quality ingredients and brick ovens to make their pizzas. Curtis Saroki said they tried using conveyor ovens in some of their restaurants but didn't like the way the pizza came out, so they eventually went back to brick ovens again."We're very involved in operations," Curtis Saroki said. "Both of us were operations guys before we started franchising and I'm still going to locations to make sure that everyone's keeping up with the quality."To learn more about the Sarokis' pizza journey, click the link at the top of the page to view the podcast in its entirety.

“Facilitation isn't about what you know. It's about how empty you're willing to be.” -Winter Jade Icely Winter is an international teacher, writer, and facilitator whose work bridges the mystical arts and the feminine mysteries.

A faculty member of the International School of Temple Arts (ISTA), Winter is also the founder of Magdalena, a global training program devoted to the feminine mysteries. Her teachings challenge conventional narratives around gender and sexuality, inviting participants into non-dual, embodied experiences of soul and interconnectedness. Through her work, Winter creates transformative spaces that guide people into deeper realms of being, where the mystical meets the grounded, and the personal touches the universal. In this episode, Winter shares: How a life-altering health crisis stripped away everything she thought she knew, and what remained. Why she no longer teaches from knowledge, but from emptiness. What it means to facilitate from the mystery, not mastery. The forgotten wisdom of death, grief, and the animal body. Why embodiment is more than the body, and how her view of it has radically changed. Her relationship to Magdalena and the feminine principle that lives in our bones.     Join our Patreon for access to monthly Facilitation teachings and webinars with Rachel Patreon.com/inpresencewetrust Connect with Winter www.winterjade.net www.magdalena.com.au Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/winter_jade_icely/ Connect with Rachel Rachel's Email List: subscribe Rachel's Website: rachelrickards.com The Field Facilitator Training: www.the-field.com Find us on Instagram The Field Facilitator Training: instagram.com/thefieldfacilitation Rachel Rickards: instagram.com/rachel.rickards/ Our Cover Art was Designed by Oana Serbana Instagram: Oana_flowingart Etsy:  Oana Flowing Art Etsy

This week I speak with Julia Taves who is an experienced educator with an M.A. in Educational Leadership. She served for 26 years as a teacher in the states and Principal of two International Schools, in Uganda, Africa, and the Dominican Republic. Julia has seen God work through her own children, and kids worldwide. Realizing these kids could be an encouragement to others, she collected their writings with a variety of experiences, voices, and perspectives who knew God's truth and want to share the things that matter most. Her free time may involve dance parties with her grandkids or kayaking with her husband. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life.

Show Notes: Gregory Mose, an English major, currently lives in Aix-en-Provence where he is the director of international relations and professor of International Law at a small American University program called the American College of the Mediterranean.  When he graduated, his parents wanted him to go to Law School, but Greg wanted to travel. He was offered a teaching fellow position at Athens College in Greece, and he fell in love with the place and the experience. He returned to the US and law school at Duke where he met his wife.   Working for United Nations Greg's interest in international public international law led him to work for the UN during Yugoslavia's war crimes tribunal research project. He secured a two-year contract with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Conakry, Guinea, which was a paranoid, isolated place. He worked with refugees there for two years, traveling through Mali, Timbuktu, Dakar, Freetown, Abidjan, and upcountry Guinea. During this time, he helped resettle some people to the United States. Greg's experience in Conakry was both powerful and passionate. He helped resettle some people to the United States who wouldn't be able to be resettled today. However, he returned home underweight and suffering from malaria and PTSD. A Career Changes: Director of International Relations - Stay-at-home Dad Greg joined his fiance in London. After a period of recovery, Greg secured a job in corporate law at an international firm in London. He worked on IPOs and was hired as a young US lawyer in securities practices. After three years, he moved to a London-based firm, Freshfields, Brookhouse, Deringer.  Greg and his wife had their son in 2002 and decided to raise their son themselves rather than handing him over to a nanny. He decided to leave his job to write a novel and raise their son while his wife worked at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. They considered downsizing and moving to the English countryside or getting more remote to facilitate a change in lifestyle. However, after spending time in the South West of France, they decided to do something radical and bought a medieval farmhouse and land in the South West of France, near a village called Montcabrier.  Village Life in Wine Country Greg describes their experience living in a wine region called the Lot, near the Dordogne, in the southwest. The village had about 30 full-time residents, but most people  lived in farmhouses outside the village. The village had a two-room schoolhouse, a bakery, and a mayor's office. Greg and his family rented out renovated three holiday cottages in summers to families with small children. They built a playground, swimming pool, and a beautiful field on their property. Greg also shares his experiences with their neighbors. He also learned how to use a chainsaw and finished his novel, Stunt Road. However, as their son grew older, they decided they needed a bigger centre with more activities and schools. They moved to Aix-en-Provence. Working in Education Greg didn't know what he was going to do there, but they enrolled their son in the International School where he was hired to teach a critical thinking course called Theory of Knowledge at the International Baccalaureate program. He became a high school teacher for 10 years and realized his love for teaching, and eventually wanted to teach at university. He decided to pursue a PhD program at French universities, which were affordable. The tuition for a PhD was about $500 a year.  Greg mentions the benefits of social programs in France. He eventually became a full-time professor at the American College in Aix and runs a master's program in international relations. Integration with French Culture Greg's life is different from what people think it is like living in Southern France. He finds it challenging to integrate into the country. In the rural areas, French culture is radically different, with people being warm but also private. Weekends are spent with family, and they do not easily invite people into their homes. However, he finds warmth in the greetings and the respect shown to others. This reinforces a tradition of treating each other as equals and respect. He also talks about how his students from abroad adjust to French culture.  Back to London and Recovery Greg thinks back to 1998 when he  arrived in North London with his fiance and was unemployed. He had been working at UNHCR, which provided decent pay. However, he was always physically cold and underweight due to his previous experiences with malaria and the constant heat in the tropical climate. He was exhausted from the work and the influx of refugees during the renewed violence in Freetown. One of his bouts of malaria occurred while doing a refugee census in the forest region. He spent three days in a room full of bugs and had limited access to food. He talks about how he broke down and found it was cathartic for him. He talks about a particularly difficult time, and how he teaches a course on armed conflict, linking it to genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and refugees. Large glass He often shares anecdotes from his time there, but admits that sometimes he struggles to get through them. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Greg mentions his first year English course with Helen Vendler. He recalls a kind act of kindness from her. He also mentions professor Burriss Young, who was the Associate Dean of freshmen at the time and lived in Mass Hall. Burriss was an archeologist, and he invited students to tea in his apartment filled with archeological artifacts. This made his first year at Harvard a magical experience. Greg, coming from LA, idealized Harvard. He had a wonderful time in Cabot House, and Greg believes that these experiences will be a lasting memory for him.  Timestamps: 04:44: Early Career and UN Experience 09:31: Transition to Corporate Law and Family Life  22:55: Return to Education and Teaching Career  30:10: Life in Southern France and Cultural Adjustments  40:37: Personal Reflections and Professional Growth  45:02: Memorable Experiences and Influences from Harvard    Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregorymose/ Stunt Road, by Gregory Mose: https://amzn.to/46Orq4X The American College of the Mediterranean: https://www.acmfrance.org/ Greg's Blog: https://quercychronicles.wordpress.com/ Featured Non-profit: The featured non-profit of this week's episode is recommended by Keith Quinn who reports: “Hi.

They speak about some of the most controversial sexual practices, and polarities of non-consensual enlightenment vs. a hyper-individualised society and cult of consent. Furthermore, at which point an individual is a set of habits, beliefs and preconceptions, with experiences informed by discomfort and ego, etc. They share a need for a happy medium, over the tendency to lean towards extremes.

Send us a textIn this insightful conversation, Conrad Hughes, Director General at the International School of Geneva, shares his 30-year journey in education across three continents. Beginning with his roots in South Africa and schooling, Conrad discusses his educational philosophy centered on "seeing" people—recognizing their inherent gifts and helping transform those gifts into talents Educational Journey and PhilosophyConrad reflects on his challenging experiences in an all-boys Catholic school during apartheid and his transformative high school years where literature and art became his passion. He credits his father's gift of books for fostering his lifelong love of knowledge.Leadership and FeedbackDrawing on John Hattie and Helen Temporal's model, Conrad emphasizes the importance of contextual understanding in feedback and planning for growth. He highlights how his coaching experience with Ericsson taught him the value of self-awareness and perspective-taking in leadership.AI in EducationConrad discusses his school's thoughtful approach to AI integration, developed in collaboration with UNESCO. Rather than seeing technology as an end goal, he demonstrates how AI can enhance thinking when used intentionally—from generating exam questions to extending brainstorming activities.Reimagining AssessmentConrad introduces his alternative assessment model, the "learner passport," which recognizes students' interdisciplinary skills and personal growth beyond traditional high-stakes testing. This system acknowledges competencies in various areas, including extracurricular activities and entrepreneurial work.Creating Psychological SafetyThroughout the conversation, Conrad emphasizes the importance of creating environments where students feel safe, supported, and free to develop their unique potential—a philosophy that extends to his leadership approach with colleagues as well.Conrad's book on assessment is available on the Brill website, and he welcomes connections through LinkedIn for those interested in continuing the conversation about educational innovation.Connect with Conrad: LinkedIn  WebsiteYou can also get free access to Conrad's latest book here.

Kim developed the Thrive Model after a decade of working with coaches and school leaders around the world. It brings together all of her own experience as an instructional coach, as well as the experiences of her clients, and all the expert guests she's interviewed on this podcast.  We use this model to structure all of our courses for coaches, and in particular The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program. You'll get an overview of the model in this series, and how the three elements of Clarity, Consistency and Community can be used to develop and refine your individual coaching practice and your coaching program in your school.  This series is designed to be an annual refresh of your coaching practice - even if you've heard some of the episodes before, every time you listen, when you reflect back on your growth over the last academic year, you'll be able to take something new away to apply in your practice in the next academic year.
