In this warm and wonderfully meandering episode of The Forest School Podcast, Lewis and Wem dive into The Joys and Shapes of Autistic Play by Max Alexander. Nestled among tangents about shouting sparrowhawks, jewel-encrusted slugs, and beloved sticks, they explore how Max's taxonomy of autistic play shapes offers both validation and practical insights for outdoor educators. Together, they unpack play types like pancake stacking, relational mapping, and object harmonising, and reflect on how this lens supports more inclusive, curious, and non-judgemental practice. The conversation touches on inner worlds, the limits of Bob Hughes' taxonomy, and the value of reframing behaviours through a neurodivergent-affirming perspective. With humour, honesty, and deep respect for Max's work, this episode is a love letter to the strange, sincere, and silly world of play.

Feminism's Damage: The Lost Joys of Motherhood

The American Soul

What happens when a society decides that separating infants from their mothers is normal? As I drove past a daycare at 6:00 AM, I witnessed a heartbreaking scene—a child less than a year old being handed to a complete stranger. This moment crystallized one of modern America's greatest tragedies: we've systematically removed children from their mothers in pursuit of a distorted vision of progress.These children are denied experiences once considered fundamental—crawling into mom's bed in the morning, taking afternoon naps at home, playing freely in their own yards, or making messes in the kitchen alongside their mothers. When exactly did we convince ourselves this arrangement was best for children? The feminist revolution promised liberation but delivered a different reality, one where children spend their formative years with strangers while mothers rush between work and home, perpetually exhausted and guilt-ridden.Scripture provides clear guidance on marriage and family that we've largely ignored. God designed men and women differently—not to compete but to complement each other. Marriage isn't meant to be a 50-50 arrangement where spouses battle for power and autonomy. Rather, it functions best when husbands and wives embrace their distinct, God-given roles as outlined in passages like 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, and 1 Peter 3. When we reject this divine blueprint, we don't achieve equality—we diminish both men and women, making them less than they could be together.Are we ready to honestly assess what we've lost? Our collective rebellion against God's design—through feminism, abortion, or the rejection of biblical marriage—carries consequences beyond individual families to our entire society. The deteriorating state of American family life suggests the bill for these choices is coming due. Perhaps it's time to reconsider the divine pattern that once provided a foundation for human flourishing and family stability.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

PINCHUSThe saying goes “Life is what happens to us while we're busy making other plans.”Reality presents us with challenging situations that tear us between the life we want and the life we receive.We find ourselves in a dispute with Divine Providence over what could have been different.However, life becomes joyful when we manage to ride the wave and accept what is happening— when we let go of what we wanted and go with what we've been given.The secret to happiness lies in the ability to understand that the main decisions are made by destiny.They are determined in a way that is beyond human understanding, and therefore it is impossible to judge life using our own sense of logic or reason.To understand this deeply, we want to explore an important question: Why was the division of the land of Israel done by lottery?After all, the decision was backed by the Urim and Thummim—wasn't that enough?Especially since a lottery often suggests weakness or a lack of ability to decide. Lotteries are used in democratic systems where every vote counts, and no single authority can arbitrarily decide.But a king, who is the sole voice, does not hold lotteries or consultations—he gives commands.So where is the honor of the Holy One, Blessed be He, who seemingly needed to convince through a lottery?

 This week was pretty special for me; I had the absolute joy and delight of attending my son's graduation ceremony. Watching him receive his BA honours in computer games development was not just a proud parent moment, but a celebration of dedication and achievement. You could feel the excitement and emotions in the air, alongside the bittersweet farewells, as all these budding talents prepare to embrace new beginnings. This episode delves deeply into the theme of choice and how it shapes our lives at every turn. Just like my son, who's stepping into the unpredictable yet thrilling world of the games industry—where networking and perseverance are key—we all reach points where the path ahead requires us to make choices. Whether transitioning from university or facing midlife changes, the necessity of deciding our own directions becomes crucial. I've been there too, shifting from marketing into something completely different during COVID, embracing new choices that align more with my passions. It got me pondering, how often do we consciously make choices about our current place in life? Are we in jobs, relationships, or routines by choice, or by lack of choosing? It's interesting because not choosing is also a choice, isn't it? We explore this idea in today's podcast. We consider what success means and how to become intentional with our choices. Choices can be daunting, right? Even selecting from a menu at a restaurant can be a struggle, let alone making life-altering decisions! However, with a little introspection and the right tools, we can navigate more effectively and align our choices with our true desires. Join me as we discuss making choices, big and small, and ponder where those choices might lead us. And hey, remember, the key to any great journey is movement—whether you choose to choose, or choose not to choose, the power is in your hands.   Thank you for participating in this conversation and for your ongoing support.

Formed in Community & Formed in Service: Joys & Challenges of Community

In this lecture, Jenny explores the profound significance of community in spiritual transformation. She begins by framing her discussion around two key scriptures—Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 and Romans 12:9-21—emphasizing the importance of connection and support among individuals. Through these verses, she highlights that partnership not only brings strength during hardships but also cultivates warmth and protection against life's adversities. Jenny introduces the summer series, which will delve into the practices of community and serving, aiming to foster spiritual growth and transformation.Building on the foundational imagery of spiritual formation, she explains a cyclical process that includes formation, malformation, and counterformation—illustrating how to overcome the influences that can derail one's spiritual journey. Through a call to engage in prayer, she encourages attendees to surrender their burdens, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of community's role in healing and transformation.The narrative takes an empathetic turn as Jenny recounts the experience of a young boy named Sam. She parallels his journey through middle school, highlighting both the excitement and trepidation he feels on his first day, ultimately culminating in the profound loneliness he experiences during a gym class, where he is picked last for a soccer team. This poignant storytelling resonates with the lecture's overarching theme—that everyone shares an innate desire to belong and be known, reinforcing the idea that humans are created for community. By contrasting Sam's isolation with the biblical depiction of community, Jenny asserts that societal connections are critical for emotional and spiritual well-being.Jenny revisits the essence of community as articulated in scripture, mentioning how God's intention for mankind is rooted in the collaborative nature of the Trinity. She quotes John Donne to stress that “no man is an island,” reinforcing that isolation does not allow for true flourishing. Furthermore, she takes reflections from experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring community's vital role in transcending isolation. Distressingly, Jenny notes that despite advancements in technology and social media, loneliness remains an epidemic. She weaves in stories of communities rallying together for mutual support during difficult times, emphasizing the power of collective effort and encouragement.The lecture further delves into the complexities of human interactions and the roots of distrust that can form barriers to community engagement. Jenny discusses how personal traumas can lead to isolation and a defensive posture against forming new connections. By sharing Sam's journey through math class following his humiliating experience, she illustrates how past events shape our willingness to engage with others.Transitioning into practical applications, Jenny proposes that spiritual practices can help combat the tendencies towards isolation. She emphasizes the necessity of trust in God and the need to embrace vulnerability within community settings. Providing insight from personal experiences, she reflects on the transformative journey of forming deep relationships within small groups, demonstrating how these settings allow individuals to support each other during life's peaks and valleys.She also revisits Paul's epistle to the Romans, extracting principles for cultivating a healthy community—from sincere love and honor to the shared burdens of community life. Highlighting that love acts on behalf of others, Jenny urges the audience to foster genuine connections by actively reaching out and believing the best about those around them.As she draws her discussion to a close, Jenny reiterates the call for participants to take actionable steps towards deeper community engagement. By creating spaces for vulnerability and support, individuals can build a robust and loving environment reflective of Jesus's command to love one another. She encourages attendees to actively participate in fostering community, reinforcing that such actions can lead to transformative experiences not only for individuals but for entire families and communities.In her concluding prayer, Jenny encapsulates the essence of her message by affirming the gift of community, acknowledging its challenges, and inviting everyone to embark on a journey toward genuine love and togetherness in their spiritual walk.

Welcome to the Personal Development Trailblazers Podcast! In today's episode, we're sharing the hidden joys of solo travel and why every woman should try it at least once.Experience the “JOY” of confident, safe, and unforgettable solo travel—with Joy Huber as your guide. Joy empowers women to embrace solo travel with enthusiasm—going alone, yet never feeling lonely. As the founder of Travel with Joy TV, she helps women create lives filled with freedom, purpose, and memorable experiences. Women tend to outlive men—so learning to travel solo safely isn't a luxury, it's a life skill. Joy believes every woman, at any age or stage of life, deserves the chance to explore on her own terms. With over two decades of solo travel experience, Joy has successfully navigated challenging safety situations while speaking and leading seminars across the United States. As the author of “Cancer with JOY,” and a professional speaker & individual coach, she's picked up valuable tips, insider tricks, and affordable must-haves that make solo travel not only possible—but powerful. After recovering from stage four cancer at only 33, Joy made a life-changing decision: she wouldn't wait to travel for fun. Three years of hard-hitting cancer treatment caused the devastating complete loss of her shoulder length hair and taught her how fragile life really is. She realized we're all a moment away from a completely different reality. So, she started prioritizing solo travel—going where she wanted and doing what made her feel alive. As she shared her vibrant stories, photos, and videos, women began reaching out, eager to learn how they could travel solo safely too. Joy turned those questions into a mission—helping women everywhere travel solo joyfully. If you're waiting for the right time to start your own journey, this is it. Act now while you still have your good health. Don't wait for ‘someday'—start today. Solo travel isn't just a getaway—it's a gateway to discovering your strength, independence, and contentment. Explore boldly, travel safely, and live life fully without regrets.

It's a glimpse into the unique challenges and 'profound' rewards of being a humanist voice in Westminster, and how MPs can work within the system to create collective and meaningful change. This podcast was recorded on 11 June 2025. What I Believe was the title of two separate essays by the philosopher Bertrand Russell and the philosopher EM Forster in the early 20th century. These two humanists set out their approach to life, their fundamental worldview, in a way that was accessible to all. In this podcast, Chief Executive of Humanists UK, Andrew Copson, speaks to humanists today to understand more about what they believe, to understand more about the values, convictions, and opinions they live by.

An estimated 100 million people in the United States have some sort of “step” relationship. This could be a stepchild, a stepparent, or even a stepsibling. These relationships are often part of what's known as a “blended” family, where individuals come together from previous relationships to form a new, unique family unit.Blended families face many challenges and difficulties that other families don't necessarily have to navigate. They have to build new relationships within the parent-child and sibling dynamics that have already been established. It can feel awkward at times, and kids may even struggle with feeling like their stepparent is trying to replace or force a bond.While we don't have personal experience on this topic, our guests do—and they are here to share their wisdom with us.

The live episodes are recorded on Ken's YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook channels.Get Ken's Comedy Album⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ IN MY DAY⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Purchase Ken's book ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Why We Love Stars: The Great Moments That Built A Galaxy Far, Far Away.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enjoy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Moonagers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠kennapzok.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

Our story tonight is called Wallpaper and Paint, and it's a story about a room in a cottage by the lake, that is ready for redoing. It's also about a claw foot tub and an airy kitchen with beams crisscrossing the ceiling, the faded patches of wall behind pictures, ferns and seagrass, binoculars and stir sticks, and the wonderfully satisfying feeling of peeling away the old and laying out the new.
