Ik ontmoet Katja Schuurman op de dijk in Uitdam. We nemen een duik in het IJmeer en wandelen daarna haar tuin in.Al snel vertelt ze over een gevoel dat de laatste jaren steeds sterker is geworden. Niet dat er iets mis is met haar leven. Integendeel. Maar dat er óók een ander leven aan haar trekt. Een ander verlangen.We praten over intuïtie, ouder worden, grenzen stellen en de moed om te luisteren naar dat stille stemmetje dat soms al weet waar je naartoe wilt, nog voordat jij het zelf kunt uitleggen.Shownotes:•⁠ ⁠Nieuwsgierig naar onze partner dit seizoen? Kijk snel bij AJENIn Seasonal Chapters ontmoet ik mijn gasten op hun favoriete buitenplek. Want een plek doet iets met een gesprek. We wandelen, zitten en zijn er écht. Buiten ontstaan gesprekken die binnen misschien nooit gevoerd zouden worden. Spontane, persoonlijke gesprekken over het leven, over hoe ons ritme verandert, en wat de seizoenen ons laten zien.Een podcast van Meisje Willem, geproduceerd door The Creators Club.

Unsere liebe Katja aka ich spiele die süßesten Brettspiele, überrascht uns heute mit ihren Hypetiteln zur Spiel 26.Mit Felix, Katja und Björn!

In our first-ever debate, we asked two leading AI risk researchers which catastrophe we should fear most: misaligned AI seizing control from humans, or a small group of humans using AI to seize power. We got very different answers. But when the conversation turned to what to actually do, they agreed on a surprising amount.Katja Grace — one of the founders of AI Impacts, known for some of the world's largest surveys of machine learning researchers, and one of TIME‘s 100 most influential people in AI in 2024 — argues AI takeover is both likelier and worse.Tom Davidson — senior research fellow at Forethought and author of leading work on AI-enabled coups — thinks human power grabs are a comparable risk that deserves far more attention, not least because the people leading countries and top AI companies “are often people who have been willing to seek power.”Yet both land on slowing down. As Katja puts it, “If you make a bunch of creatures that can overpower you and outwit you in every way and put them out in the world, you're going to run into trouble one way or another.” Tom calls pausing “a pretty robustly good thing to do.”But Tom warns that a badly designed pause could hand one person the power to decide which AI companies get to build what. Picture a president who approves or blocks new models case by case, and waves through the one model that's helpful only to them. So he wants pause advocates to “properly red-team the plan for pausing it” — for example, by making deployment depend on third-party auditors the president can't fire. Katja points out this cuts both ways: an executive with that much power could itself be manipulated by a misaligned AI.Host Zershaaneh Qureshi also presses them on where their disagreements still bite at the end of the conversation, and what would change their minds.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/katja-v-tomThis episode was recorded on August 28, 2026.Chapters:Our first debate!

First, here's the link to the course Katja mentioned: Working Through GriefUse code GRIEF to get 50% off! (It's not very original, but it works.)This course is full of herbs and holistic strategies to help you navigate grief, as well as a private community where you can talk with people who are going through similar journeys. The course and the community support are yours for life, so you can work at your own pace. We're here for you when you need us.Our society doesn't provide much support for grieving, but here, we can support one another! Whether your grief is based in loss, or trauma; whether it's recent or in the past or ongoing – we're here together, and this is a gentle and welcoming space to be held in community.Grief has many stages, and different herbs are helpful at different points in the journey. Working with herbs and processing grief isn't a one-size-fits-all sort of task. Getting through a dark day, digging in to a deep place within yourself, and setting aside a heavy heart in service of an immediate need – these are all quite different emotional efforts, and they're each best supported by different herbs.Today's episode is in response to a student question – she asked:“I'm curious about herbs that are beneficial for grief? I lost my husband earlier this year and have played a lot with nervines which have helped turn the emotions “down”, which has been wonderful and much needed in some situations. But I'm wondering if there are any herbs that you love for processing and sitting with the grief?”And the answer is, YES!This episode focuses on those two aspects of the journey with grief – both the processing and the sitting with, which are actually interwoven aspects of working through grief. We can't sit still with something until we do some processing, but we can't process until we can sit still with it – so this work happens in a spiral kind of action.Each time you go around a spiral, you work a little deeper in, or stretch a little further out: it's not repetitive circling. And what starts as a small motion can unfold into a complete evolution and shift in perspective. Time will get you there; herbs will help you along the way.You might also like to listen to this episode on grief, from six years ago – its focus was a little different than this one. It was HHP episode 141: Herbs and Grief, at the Death of the Year.Or you might like to keep these reminders of a few helpful grief-support herbs on your phone or computer desktop: hawthorn, rose, elecampane.If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Najbrž ste že kdaj v kakšnem filmu ali pa mediju zasledili zanimivo opažanje, da so bile pred potresom živali nemirne, nekateri opisujejo, kako podgane in miši tečejo ven iz poslopij in podzemnih kanalov. Toda je res kaj na tem njihovem – v narekovajih – šestem čutu. Ali res lahko napovedo, da prihaja potres? Gost: dr. Gregor Rajh, vodja Sektorja za seizmologijo na Agenciji RS za okolje. Vprašanje sta nam poslala Rok in Klement, sodelovali sta tudi Katja in Lorna. 

Katja Petrovič je turistična vodička, ki predvsem avstralskim gostom razkazuje lepote deževnega pragozda. Pokaže jim zdravilne in tudi smrtno nevarne rastline, jih prevaža s štirikolesniki oziroma buggieji, skupaj plezajo, pestujejo jegulje in se kopajo pri slapu. Prav tako skupaj zaužijejo “naravni paracetamol” in poskusijo mravlje. V prostem času kuha, bere, piše dnevnik in se druži s partnerjem ter sodelavci. Delijo si deževni pragozd, s partnerjem tudi šotor, delodajalci pa živijo nedaleč proč na kmetiji. Pravi, da njena služba ni služba, temveč “ena velika zabava”. Edina težava je oddaljenost do trgovin, najbližje večje mesto, oddaljeno približno eno uro, je obalni Port Douglas.

KI verändert die Arbeitswelt rasant. Viele Unternehmen investieren in Tools, Lizenzen und erste Piloten – doch der echte Business Value bleibt oft aus. Warum? Weil KI nicht nur eine technologische Veränderung ist, sondern vor allem eine Frage von Haltung, Führung und Organisation. In dieser Folge spricht Stefan mit Katja Spörl, Managing Director von NewNow, über die größten Herausforderungen bei der Einführung von KI in Unternehmen. Katja erklärt, warum KI nur dann Wirkung entfaltet, wenn Organisationen bereit sind, Prozesse, Entscheidungswege und ihr eigenes Mindset zu hinterfragen. Es geht um den Weg vom Pilotprojekt zum echten Werthebel, um klare Ziele, Nutzerakzeptanz und die Frage, warum deutsche Präzision manchmal im Widerspruch zur iterativen Logik von KI steht. Katja zeigt außerdem, welche Rolle Führungskräfte jetzt übernehmen müssen: mehr Geschwindigkeit aushalten, bessere Entscheidungen treffen, selbst als Role Model vorangehen und gleichzeitig den menschlichen Faktor stärken. ____ LEITWOLF Podcast, Leadership, Führung, Management, Stefan Homeister, Podcast, Business Leadership, Erfolgreich führen, Unternehmensführung, Führungskompetenz, Leadership Development, Teammanagement, Leadership Skills, Selbstführung, Leadership Coaching, Leadership Training, Karriereentwicklung, Führungspersönlichkeit, Erfolgsstrategien, Unternehmenskultur, Motivation und Leadership, Leadership-Tipps, Leadership Insights, Change Management, Visionäre Führung, Leadership Interviews, Erfolgreiche Manager, Unternehmer-Tipps, Leadership-Best Practices, Leadership-Perspektiven, Business-Coaching

Katja lebt als Hausfrau und Mutter, weil sie es sich schon immer so vorgestellt hat. Lea nennt sich Tradwife und zeigt ihr traditionelles Leben auf Social Media. Zwei Frauen, die ähnlich leben, aber etwas ganz Unterschiedliches daraus machen. Traditionelle Rollenbilder sind bei jungen Leuten wieder präsent, dies belegen verschiedene Studien. Zeitgleich wird auf Social Media dieses traditionelle Familienmodell zelebriert und zum Lifestyle gemacht. Tiktokerin Lea sagt: «Mein Mann ist der Kopf und ich will ihm ein schönes Zuhause bieten.» Katja lebt ein ähnliches Modell – ohne Social Media: «Es ist schön zuhause, aber es ist nicht immer so einfach.» Zwei Frauen, ein Rollenbild – aber zwei ganz unterschiedliche Lebenswelten. ____________________ In dieser Episode zu hören - Lea Mayer, Bioanalytikerin - Katja, Hausfrau und Mutter ____________________ Habt ihr Feedback, Fragen oder Wünsche?

Vergangenheit loslassen, Zukunft leben: Wie du aus der "Opferrolle" aussteigst und Vergebung wählst. Wenn im Leben Dinge passieren, die uns verletzen oder enttäuschen, reagieren wir oft automatisch: Wir gehen in den Angriff, erheben Vorwürfe oder ziehen uns komplett zurück. Was viele nicht merken: Damit stecken wir mitten in der klassischen Täter-Opfer-Dynamik fest. Solange wir den anderen als alleinigen Täter sehen, machen wir uns emotional abhängig und geben unsere eigene Handlungsfähigkeit ab. In dieser Folge von Thinking into Health sprechen Katja und Verena darüber, wie du diesen Teufelskreis durchbrichst: Die Täter-Opfer-Dynamik verstehen: Warum Vorwürfe und Rückzug uns in die Passivität drängen. Der Blick auf beide Seiten: Wo sind wir selbst durch Reaktionen oder Abgrenzung zum „Täter“ geworden? Möglichkeiten des Ausgleichs: Wie im Hier und Jetzt Versäumtes nachgeholt und geheilt werden kann. Vergebung als Entscheidung: Warum Vergebung kein Verharmlosen ist, sondern der Schlüssel zu deiner eigenen Schöpferkraft. Verantwortung übernehmen: Wie du aufhörst, Recht haben zu wollen, und stattdessen deinen Frieden wählst. Höre hinein und erfahre, wie du deine Vergangenheit endlich loslassen kannst, um deine Zukunft selbst-bestimmt zu gestalten! Bist du bereit, den nächsten Schritt für deine persönliche Transformation zu gehen?

Send comments and feedbackKatja Kobow is the most recent winner of the Michael Prize, an international award in epilepsy research. Her work focuses on epigenetics and epilepsy, a field that has grown exponentially in only the past 10 to 15 years. Dr. Kobow talked about her research and its potential for epilepsy diagnosis and treatment.Epigenetics is the bookmarking system or the data management system of our genome. It decides which part of the genome is read, and when to read it. The epigenome is what makes the genome versatile in terms of regulating gene expression.Epigenetics is crucial for all aspects of brain development and function. It's also reversible, which has exciting implications for anti-epileptogenic therapies.  Dr. Kobow is assistant professor at the Institute of Neuropathology at the University Hospital Erlangen, Germany. Selected recent publications: DNA methylation-based classification of malformations of cortical development in the human brain (Acta Neuropathologica, 2022)Molecular diagnostics in drug-resistant focal epilepsy define new disease entities (Brain Pathology, 2021)Epigenetics explained: a topic “primer” for the epilepsy community by the ILAE Genetics/Epigenetics Task Force (Epileptic Disorders, 2020) Sharp Waves episodes are meant for informational purposes only, and not as clinical or medical advice.Let us know how we're doing:  info@ilae.orgThe International League Against Epilepsy is the world's preeminent association of health professionals and scientists, working toward a world where no person's life is limited by epilepsy.

In Zeiten großer geopolitischer Unsicherheiten, knapper und teurer Rohstoffe und unterbrochener Lieferketten wird der Umgang von Unternehmen mit ihren Abfällen immer mehr zu einem wichtigen Baustein für Zukunftssicherheit, Resilienz und damit für unternehmerischen Erfolg. In dieser Folge gehen wir der Frage nach, wie Unternehmen Abfall nicht nur als Entsorgungsthema, sondern vor allem auch als Ressource sehen und nutzen können.

How can you tell the difference between normal excitement about someone and a BPD “favorite person” relationship that's starting to take over?In this mini episode of The BPD Bunch, Xannie, Carys, Jack, and Katja share their experiences with favorite person (FP) relationships and the signs that helped them recognize when attachment was becoming unhealthy.They talk about what happens when one person starts consuming your attention, affecting your priorities and other relationships, or even influencing your sense of identity. They also explore an important distinction: healthy relationships can influence us too. So where is the line?Topics include:• BPD favorite person relationships• Favorite person vs. healthy relationships• Obsession vs. normal relationship excitement• Idealization and splitting• Losing yourself in relationships• Identity disturbance in BPD• Neglecting other relationships and priorities• BPD relationships and recoveryThere isn't one behavior that automatically makes someone your “favorite person.” Looking at the intensity, context, and overall impact on your life can help you better understand what's happening in your relationships.We're taking a three-week break from our regular episodes to answer some of your questions! This season, we're exploring BPD through the lens of the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD), and we'll be back with our next full-length episode on September 16 with an episode all about impulsivity.___

While our Fallow Month of August has ended, we've got one more replay for you!  (If you don't know or don't remember what a Fallow Month is, listen to the full explanation in episode 212! Or if you'd prefer some reading, check out Katja's piece If You Really Want to Learn Herbalism, Stop Studying.)This week we're airing a replay of episode 265: Elderberry Syrup Isn't Everything.Elderberry syrup isn't everything an herbalist has to offer to someone suffering from a cold, the flu, COVID, RSV, or any of the many other respiratory ailments to which we humans are susceptible. Despite being the first thought to come to many minds when asked if they're prepared for winter illnesses, we'd encourage you to broaden your view both of what elder does, and what herbs can do in these situations.Elderberry is famous for inhibiting viral replication, most notably of the flu virus, by interfering with its capacity to replicate. Elderberry constituents have been shown in petri-dish studies to bind the neuraminidase ‘spike' on the virus. It can therefore reduce the virus' capacity to ‘break into' our cells and convert them into virus-making factories.Sounds good! Note, however, that this particular mode of action was identified through in vitro studies. The limitation here is that the required concentration of those constituents may not be attained in our bloodstream when we ingest elderberry syrup. It may not reach the tissues which are under attack by the virus. So while this is an interesting mechanism of action – and one we've ourselves taught about often when discussing elderberry – we now consider it as potentially less relevant to the general impacts of elderberry on viral illness.So what matters more? The effects of elderberry on inflammatory patterns in the body. An efficient immune response includes inflammatory and anti-inflammatory actions, both at the right times and in the right amounts; elderberry supports this. And here's the good news: so do other berries! Every berry with deep pigmentation – blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, serviceberry, aronia berry, and many more – will work to improve inflammation management within the body. At the same time, they'll enhance vascular integrity and flexibility (particularly important given the capacity of COVID to damage these tissues).So elder isn't the only berry who can help us. And berries aren't the only supportive herbs, either – nor are herbs the end of our options! First of all, elder offers flowers as much as berries, and those are helpful for managing fever.Working with elder in formula with other herbs – like our homemade winter elixir – is an excellent way to enhance its actions. But there are also plenty of good herbs beyond elderberry syrup, including pungents like ginger, decongestants like sage, expectorants like elecampane, and aromatics like pine. Last but by no means least: nourishing food, gentle movement, and restorative sleep can each be just as important as any herbal remedies we choose.If you live in the northern hemisphere, cold & flu season is just around the corner! No matter where you live, it's good to have the knowledge and skills you need to take care of these common problems at home. Herbal Remedies for Cold & Flu teaches you everything you need to know to conquer a cold or fight off the flu. We teach you how to work with herbs that are safe and effective for all aspects of the illness. These strategies can also be very effective when coping with COVID, RSV, and other respiratory infections, too! Our focus is on finding ways to support what your body is already trying to do as it works to restore balance.Like all our offerings, these bundles of self-paced online video courses come with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, lifetime access to current & future course material, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more.If you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Historian Katja Hoyer was born in the last days of the GDR and grew up in the 1990s, watching many former East Germans struggle in the years after reunification.Learning about the Nazi era was a big part of her education but Katja left school feeling unsatisfied about what she'd been taught about the period when the Nazis rose to power.She knew about all the big political moments, but not much about the lives of ordinary Germans and how they responded to the dramatic changes that unfolded around all around them.So Katja the historian traced the lives of residents in the town of Weimar from 1919 to 1939 to examine how a cultural hub of democracy transformed into a Nazi stronghold.Further information Weimar: Life of the Edge of Catastrophe is published by Penguin.Katja's earlier book is Beyond the Wall: East Germany 1949-1990Learn more about Katja Hoyer on her websiteThis episode of Conversations was produced by Jen Leake and the Executive Producer was Nicola Harrison.It explores German history, the rise of the Nazis, Weimar, the Weimar Republic, Adolf Hitler, the Stasi, secret police, the Berlin Wall, Communism, Fascism, World War II, East Germany, the GDR, democracy, Jewish persecution, Buchenwald, concentration camps, Carl Weirich, Nazi era history, the rise of the Nazis.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Mit 25 Jahren tauschte Katja Just ihr Leben in München gegen ein neues auf der Hallig Hooge. Seit fast 26 Jahren lebt sie im nordfriesischen Wattenmeer, betreibt Ferienwohnungen und war fünf Jahre lang Bürgermeisterin. In ihrem neuen Buch „Gegenwind auf dem Sommerdeich“ (2026) erzählt sie von Sturmfluten, Extremwetter und den Herausforderungen des Lebens auf einer Hallig – aber auch vom menschlichen Gegenwind durch Kritik, Konflikte und politische Auseinandersetzungen. Denn als Münchnerin in einer eingeschworenen Halliggemeinschaft akzeptiert zu werden, war nicht immer leicht. Die Uhren auf Hooge ticken eben anders.

Mutta mistä mustasukkaisuus syntyy, ja milloin tavallinen tunne alkaa muuttua haitalliseksi?Psykologi Nina Lyytisen asiantuntijavieraana on psykologi, kouluttajapsykoterapeutti ja tietokirjailija Katja Myllyviita. Katja on kirjoittanut kirjan Mustasukkaisuus (Duodecim, 2023). Nina ja Katja keskustelevat mustasukkaisuudesta, sen taustalla vaikuttavista tekijöistä ja tunteista sekä siitä, miten mustasukkaisuutta voi oppia tunnistamaan ja säätelemään.Tässä jaksossa kuulet muun muassa:Mitä mustasukkaisuus oikeastaan on?Mitkä tekijät altistavat mustasukkaisuudelle?Milloin mustasukkaisuus muuttuu haitalliseksi?Voiko mustasukkaisuutta vähentää tai siitä jopa päästä eroon?Lisätietoja:Katja Myllyviidan verkkosivut https://psykoterapiakatjamyllyviita.webnode.fi/Katja Instagramissa https://www.instagram.com/katjamyllyviita/Katja Facebookissa https://www.facebook.com/katja.myllyviitaKatja LinkedIn:ssa ​​https://www.linkedin.com/in/katja-myllyviita-73436643/Täältä voit tilata Katja Myllyviidan kirjan: Mustasukkaisuus (Duodecim, 2023). https://verkkokauppa.duodecim.fi/sivu/tuote/9789523603943Katja on ollut vieraana myös suosituissa jaksoissa:156.

August is a Fallow Month for us, so we are dialing back on some of our activities while we focus our attention on coursework production, curriculum development, and - most importantly - hands-on herbalism in the field, kitchen, and apothecary.If you don't know or don't remember what a Fallow Month is, listen to the full explanation in episode 212! Or if you'd prefer some reading, check out Katja's piece If You Really Want to Learn Herbalism, Stop Studying.This week we're airing a replay of episode 230: Acknowledging Complexity Is Not Gatekeeping.When you're an herbalist, it's normal to get questions from people about herbs. Usually they're thinking that it's a simple question, and expecting a simple response: “What's good for IBS?” “Chamomile.” But the truth is a lot more complex than that! When you learn about herbalism, you come to understand that there are no herbs “for” any disease state. Instead, there are herbs who can exert influences on the body, and those may match well (or poorly) with the specific state of an individual person. So you become less enthusiastic about simply giving someone the name of an herb when they ask “what'll work for…?”This dynamic is even more pronounced on social media. Whether in an herbalism discussion group or in direct messages from your followers, an herbalist on social media will see lots of these types of questions – and lots of those one-word responses, too! But people don't take the names of herbs – they take herbs! Which means they prepare tea (using this much plant matter for that much water), or they take tincture (made at this or that herb:menstruum ratio), or they get a supplement (made by this or that brand)… And so even if you give someone the name of a plant, have you really helped them figure out how to take it? How much to take? How often, for how long? All those details can make or break the success of an intervention.When you get that kind of question, you want to give a helpful answer – and that can mean an answer that's quite different from what the asker expects. Instead of simply listing names of herbs, try giving an insight into your own herbal thought process! For example, if they're asking about “herbs for headaches”, you can briefly describe various patterns that can cause headache – heat, dryness, tension, stagnation, etc – and help them identify what kind of headache they have.From there, you can suggest herbs to experiment with – and that's an important phrase, “to experiment with”! Helping people understand that working with herbs involves multiple rounds of self-experimentation is a great service you can provide.It takes a little more time to construct a response like this, but it's significantly more helpful to the asker. They might expect you to simply know the right herb for them, and if you just say “it depends and it's complicated”, that can feel like you're gatekeeping. But if you share your own decision-making process, you both teach them how to think like an herbalist (even just a little bit), and you help them understand you're not holding out on them!Looking to improve your skills as an herbalist and clinician?

Deze week in de Bloemen Podcast van Annemarije & Jorien is er eens geen thema. Er wordt even goed bijgepraat over de tuinen.Jorien begint met het delen van een mooie reactie van Katja, die onze podcast heeft gebinged-listened. Het is geweldig om te horen hoe mensen onze tips toepassen en genieten van hun tuinen! Hannah heeft ook foto's gestuurd van haar prachtige tuin, waar ze minder last heeft gehad van hittestress. Het is altijd inspirerend om te zien hoe verschillende omstandigheden onze bloemen beïnvloeden.Jorien merkt op dat ze weer veel knoppen in de dahlia's heeft, wat hoopvol is, ondanks dat de bloemen nog niet helemaal op volle toeren draaien. Ze vertelt over een dure dahlia die nu eindelijk is geopend, maar die in werkelijkheid niet zo indrukwekkend is als op de foto. "Het lijkt net een firepot light" het blijkt gewoon een simpele dahlia te zijn."Anne Marije herkent dit gevoel en deelt haar eigen ervaring met een andere dahlia die niet voldoet aan de verwachtingen. "We zijn erin getuind in de marketing" zegt ze lachend. Het laat ons zien dat niet alles in de tuin altijd gaat zoals we hopen.De twee bespreken ook nieuwe aanplant. Annemarije heeft een aantal baardirissen gekocht en wil deze combineren met dahlia's voor een mooiere opstelling. "Het is belangrijk om gebruiksvriendelijk te plannen", zegt ze. Anne Marije heeft ook nieuwe dahlia's besteld en merkt op dat ze de ruimte in haar tuin moet optimaliseren door minder succesvolle planten te verwijderen.Jorien maakt zich zorgen over de slakken, die terug zijn en zich goed hebben kunnen voeden. "Ze zijn groot!"  Het is altijd een strijd om onze tuinen gezond te houden, en dat maakt het extra uitdagend. Ondanks de ups en downs blijven ze optimistisch en delen ze hun ervaringen.Voor meer bloeiende verhalen en praktische tips, luister naar de volledige aflevering van de Bloemen Podcast!

How can you tell the difference between normal excitement about someone and a BPD “favorite person” relationship that's starting to take over?In this mini episode of The BPD Bunch, Xannie, Carys, Jack, and Katja share their experiences with favorite person (FP) relationships and the signs that helped them recognize when attachment was becoming unhealthy.They talk about what happens when one person starts consuming your attention, affecting your priorities and other relationships, or even influencing your sense of identity. They also explore an important distinction: healthy relationships can influence us too. So where is the line?Topics include:• BPD favorite person relationships• Favorite person vs. healthy relationships• Obsession vs. normal relationship excitement• Idealization and splitting• Losing yourself in relationships• Identity disturbance in BPD• Neglecting other relationships and priorities• BPD relationships and recoveryThere isn't one behavior that automatically makes someone your “favorite person.” Looking at the intensity, context, and overall impact on your life can help you better understand what's happening in your relationships.We're taking a three-week break from our regular episodes to answer some of your questions! This season, we're exploring BPD through the lens of the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD), and we'll be back with our next full-length episode on September 16 with an episode all about impulsivity.___

Or if you'd prefer some reading, check out Katja's piece If You Really Want to Learn Herbalism, Stop Studying.This week we're airing a replay of episode 243: Can I Be A Plus-Sized Herbalist?Katja writes…Today a student sent me a question and it was so important, i asked her if i could (anonymously) share it, because i know other people are wondering this too.I wanted to ask for any advice or your thoughts on how to handle being a plus size herbalist.I am plus sized. Though I am currently in working on a healthier life style that includes using herbs, I feel like when people see me or see that Im plus sized that they may not want to work with me or any of my products.I feel like this is my calling I have fallen in love with herbs and how they naturally work with in the body. but I feel like this could possibly hinder me from even opening my own practice one day. I kinda feel alone in this due to most of the herbalist I see on social media are very fit and “healthy”.Am I wrong to want to be an herbalist even though I am also going through a battle and journey with my weight?The bottom line is: we need you. We need plus-sized herbalists. We need everyone, no matter where you are in your journey, whether you're small or big or short or tall or thin or fat or disabled or abled or sedentary or athletic or anything else.And the other bottom line is that weight and health are not the same thing. I know that society has all these ideas about what is “good” and “healthy” but that doesn't mean they're true. You can be healthy and big! You can be healthy and small! You can be unhealthy and be small or big too!We're all just trying to get through our day, and we're all in the body we're in. You don't have to get thin to get healthy, so let's make our bodies healthy now, regardless of what size or shape they are. And let's love them too because bodies are pretty amazing actually!If you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

If we can't heal – in the sense of achieving “perfect health” – are we failures, as people or as herbalists? In this episode, Katja shares her thoughts on the words and ideas “healing” carries in our culture, offering a critique of their common (and commercialized!) semantic and emotional baggage.Support the showYou can find all of our online herbalism courses at online.commonwealthherbs.com!

Today on the Yoga Medicine Podcast, Tiffany Cruikshank and co-host Katja Bartsch explore the latest research on strength training during pre- and post-menopause. Using a newly published systematic review and meta-analysis of 126 studies involving more than 4,000 women, they unpack what the evidence actually says about building strength and improving body composition in different stages of reproductive aging. Together, Tiffany and Katja separate common myths from current research, discussing progressive overload, lean muscle, body composition, estrogen, and why strength gains remain possible well into midlife and beyond. They also explore why consistency and enjoyment may be just as important as the specific type of resistance training you choose, offering practical takeaways for yoga practitioners, teachers, and anyone looking to age well.  "When we intervene, when we start to create a plan... the capacity to build strength is the same." — Tiffany Cruikshank. — What You'll Learn: Overview of the latest research on strength training across the female lifespan [01:25] Why strength gains remain possible after menopause [08:47] Body composition changes with strength training [16:25] Why enjoyment and consistency are key to long-term success [21:36] Current research gaps and unanswered questions [27:07] Shifting the focus from weight loss to feeling and functioning your best [31:08] How yoga complements strength training for lifelong health [32:34] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Isenmann E, Geisler S, Havers T, Siegert F, Hemke F, Held S.

Hi everyone! August is a Fallow Month for us, and so we are dialing back on some of our activities while we focus our attention on coursework production, curriculum development, and - most importantly - hands-on herbalism in the field, kitchen, and apothecary. If you don't know or don't remember what a Fallow Month is, listen to the full explanation in episode 212! Or if you'd prefer some reading, check out Katja's piece If You Really Want to Learn Herbalism, Stop Studying.This week we're airing a replay of episode 274: Thorn Medicine.Have you ever wished you had thorns? Have you ever felt like you needed to protect your heart, your space, your peace of mind, or your time from a world that asks too much of you – or takes without asking? You're not alone. This is what thorn medicine can bring you.Thorns aren't weapons, they're defenses. They don't seek an animal or human out with the intent to cause harm, they hold space and define boundaries. Touch me here, says the rose, but not there. Admire my flowers, says the motherwort, but don't you dare clutch my seeds. We can learn from this.We can take the medicine of thorns into ourselves. We can do this literally, not only (oh, “only”!) metaphorically or symbolically. Most all thorny herbs, and particularly the thorns themselves, carry a key herbal action: astringency. This is an action which literally pulls things together, and holds things together.Each plant's thorn is different, serving its own purpose. Hawthorn's long, widely spaced thorns evolved to counter the hungers of the giant sloth, and they retain that shape long after the lumbering herbivore went extinct: they are the living memory of a predator past. Ocotillo's inexhaustible rows of spines render it no more easy a prey than the cactus who share its landscape. Thistle spikes out from every possible surface, asserting itself in all directions as its firework flowers reach for the sky. Which thorns are yours?Pull yourself together. Hold your boundaries. Make a safe space.Then, within that thorn-walled refuge, your flowers will unfold.Thorn medicine is only one form of support herbs can offer our emotions. Our Neurological & Emotional Health course is a user's guide to your nerves, your emotions, and the herbs who can lift you, hold you, brace you, and sustain you. We teach holistic herbal strategies for addressing both neurological & psychological health issues. It includes a lengthy discussion of herbal pain management strategies, too!Like all our offerings, this is a self-paced online video course, which comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Have you ever run away hoping someone would follow, panicked when plans changed, or treated someone needing space like proof they were about to leave?Xannie, André, Georgette, Carys, Katja, and Justin share what actually helped them manage fear of abandonment and separation insecurity in BPD. They talk about relationship testing, canceled plans, reassurance, friendship jealousy, losing themselves inside other people, and the difference between feeling abandoned and actually being abandoned.They also discuss the less glamorous parts of getting better: asking partners not to reinforce unhealthy behavior, building an identity outside a relationship, tolerating separation, checking the facts, coping ahead, and accepting losses that cannot be changed.Topics include:* BPD and fear of abandonment* Separation anxiety in relationships* Testing partners and running away* Reassurance seeking and canceled plans* Losing your identity in relationships* Friendship jealousy and fear of being replaced* DBT check the facts and radical acceptance* Recovering from BPD relationship behaviorsIf a delayed reply, canceled plan, or one person needing space can make your entire relationship feel endangered, this conversation will probably feel painfully familiar.This season, we're discussing BPD through the lens of the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD). To meet criteria for BPD in this model, a person must have difficulties in at least two areas of personality functioning (Criterion A): identity, self direction, empathy, or intimacy, along with four or more pathological personality traits (Criterion B): emotional lability, anxiousness, separation insecurity, and depressivity (which are sub-traits of negative affectivity), impulsivity and risk taking (sub-traits of disinhibition), and hostility (a sub-trait of antagonism).In the first two episodes of the season, Dr. Carla Sharp, Dr. Frank Yeomans, and Dr. Alex Stein explain what the AMPD is, how it changes from the current categorical model, and how the BPD diagnosis is changing.

I don't know about you, but my social media feed is filled with stuff that is supposed to “give me more energy” to get through perimenopause. What does that even mean? Perimenopause isn't causing fatigue for no reason. Your body is doing things: some are new, and some are a sort of inverse callback to your teenage years. Yeah, that's right – menopause is like a second puberty. Fun! This is work. It's like remodeling your house while you live inside it. There's a lot to change, a lot to update, some things to take offline, and all of it happens while you're in the midst of your daily needs for function, repair, healing, and growth. Those never truly stop, but the demands of the remodel can make them all slow down, or get more difficult.In this episode, Katja shares herbs who will do some of the work for you. By reducing inflammation in the blood vessels and in the digestive tract, and by keeping your lymphatic system flowing smoothly, you can free up a lot of resources inside the body so that your internal workload is lower. In a sense they serve to enhance your inner clean-up crews and help them function more efficiently. (It would be nice if they would also clean your actual house, but alas.)It doesn't take stimulants or adaptogens to do this job. We don't always need to solve feeling tired by going to the buzzy herbs.So if you're feeling tied, but you don't even have time to take a nap, at least these herbs can do some of your work for you!Here are the links Katja talked about in this video:The Reproductive Health course, which includes not just peri/menopause, but also everything else – endometriosis, PCOS/PMOS, managing your cycle, and more.

Previous episodes have explored the physical form and function of fascia and its interactions with the nervous and immune systems. Today's conversation ventures into more new territory, exploring the relationships between fascia, flow state, and embodied experience. Host Katja is joined by Fiona Rose Stout PhD, an interdisciplinary researcher, bodyworker, and movement therapist seeking to connect diverse perspectives from neuroscience, creative arts, bodywork, and yoga. Together, Katja and Fiona explore the fascinating relationship between fascia, movement, and nervous system regulation. They discuss why fascia may provide an important biological lens for understanding embodied awareness, how movement practices can cultivate greater adaptability and resilience, and why integrative thinking is essential when exploring trauma, healing, and the mind-body connection. They also unpack a recent opinion article challenging "The Body Keeps the Score," offering a nuanced discussion about predictive coding, fascia, and contemporary trauma science. "There's an experience that happens when you actually feel that connection and that integration." — Fiona Stout. — What You'll Learn: • Introducing Fiona [01:13] • Flow state and why it matters for embodied movement practitioners [04:40] • Fascial fluidity implications for flow state [11:48] • Connections between nervous system regulation, trauma and flow state [15:11] • Supporting fascia with curiosity, varied movement, bodywork, myofascial release [21:03] • A nuanced discussion of "The Body Keeps the Score" [29:05] • Predictive coding and recent article "The body does not keep the score" [37:05] • Why integration, not dualism, may better explain human experience [45:11] • "Different strokes for different folks": final takeaways [50:28] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Kotler S, Mannino M, Fox G and Friston K (2026) The body does not keep the score: trauma, predictive coding, and the restoration of metastability.

Meet the researchers! Rachelle and Nicole continue in this series of conversations with fascia researchers from around the globe. Hormones are talking to the cells that build our fascia. In this episode, researcher Dr. Katja Bartsch of Munich, Germany shares how she's been listening in on that conversation and tells us what it means for the women on our massage tables.  Dr. Bartsch is exploring an emerging and under-studied question in her research: how do female hormones — and the drop in estrogen through menopause — affect our connective tissues? Listen as she updates us on the current findings. Rachelle and Nicole discuss how the science translates to the treatment room, and why so many women in midlife arrive at our massage tables with new pain and stiffness. The research is early and the answers aren't simple, but the questions are ones every bodyworker will want to hear.
