were covered in snow, and a fresh wind blew through the canals.Nl: Lars en Jasmijn stonden voor het imposante gebouw van het ziekenhuis.En: Lars and Jasmijn stood in front of the imposing building of the hospital.Nl: Binnen was het een vrolijke chaos van mensen, met een wachtruimte vol harten en rode en roze versieringen vanwege Valentijnsdag.En: Inside, it was a cheerful chaos of people, with a waiting room full of hearts and red and pink decorations for Valentine's Day.Nl: Het zag er helemaal niet uit zoals je van een ziekenhuis zou verwachten.En: It did not look at all like what you would expect from a hospital.Nl: "Kom op, Jasmijn," zei Lars, zijn ogen alert terwijl hij de afspraakpapieren nogmaals doorlas.En: "Come on, Jasmijn," said Lars, his eyes alert as he read through the appointment papers once more.Nl: "We moeten op tijd zijn voor onze check-up."En: "We need to be on time for our check-up."Nl: Jasmijn grinnikte en deed alsof ze de vele harten bewonderde die aan het plafond hingen.En: Jasmijn chuckled and pretended to admire the many hearts hanging from the ceiling.Nl: "Relax, Lars.En: "Relax, Lars.Nl: Het is maar een routinecontrole.En: It's just a routine check-up.Nl: Wat is het ergste dat kan gebeuren?"En: What's the worst that can happen?"Nl: De waarheid was dat Lars vurig hoopte dat het snel zou gaan, zodat hij tijdig met zijn verrassingsplannen voor Valentijnsdag verder kon gaan.En: The truth was that Lars fervently hoped it would go quickly, so he could promptly continue with his surprise plans for Valentine's Day.Nl: Hij had een romantisch diner geregeld in hun favoriete restaurant, en wilde niets laten verpesten.En: He had arranged a romantic dinner at their favorite restaurant and wanted nothing to spoil it.Nl: Ze meldden zich aan bij

kindly greeted by a nurse who led them to a cozily decorated room.Nl: "Welkom bij onze nieuwe koppeltherapiesessie," zei de verpleegster met een brede glimlach.En: "Welcome to our new couple therapy session," said the nurse with a broad smile.Nl: "Neem plaats.En: "Take a seat.Nl: We beginnen zo!"En: We'll begin shortly!"Nl: Lars en Jasmijn keken elkaar verbijsterd aan.En: Lars and Jasmijn looked at each other bewildered.Nl: "Dit is een misverstand," mompelde Lars, zijn voorhoofd fronsend terwijl hij naar de verpleegster keek.En: "This is a misunderstanding," muttered Lars, frowning as he looked at the nurse.Nl: Maar voordat hij verder kon spreken, duwde Jasmijn zachtjes zijn been aan.En: But before he could speak further, Jasmijn gently nudged his leg.Nl: "Laten we het maar even aanzien," fluisterde ze met een ondeugende knipoog.En: "Let's just see what happens," she whispered with a mischievous wink.Nl: De sessie begon met absurde vragen over hun relatie.En: The session began with absurd questions about their relationship.Nl: Lars voelde zich ongemakkelijk en begon te zweten, terwijl Jasmijn het niet kon laten om uitbundig mee te doen.En: Lars felt uncomfortable and started to sweat, while Jasmijn couldn't help but participate enthusiastically.Nl: Toen de therapeut hen vroeg naar hun plannen voor Valentijnsdag, steeg de spanning bij Lars.En: When the therapist asked about their plans for Valentine's Day, the tension rose for Lars.Nl: Hij wilde niet dat Jasmijn zijn verrassingsplan ontdekte, maar de vragen waren steeds raardere vragen en Lars kon niet meer.En: He didn't want Jasmijn to discover his surprise plan, but the questions became increasingly bizarre, and Lars couldn't take it anymore.Nl: "Oké, ik geef het toe!"En: "Okay, I admit it!"Nl: riep Lars plotseling, zijn stem lichtelijk in paniek.En: Lars suddenly shouted, his voice slightly panicked.Nl: "Ik wilde een romantisch diner voor ons plannen als verrassing!"En: "I wanted to plan a romantic dinner for us as a surprise!"Nl: Jasmijn begon hardop te lachen.En: Jasmijn burst out laughing.Nl: "Dus dat was je geheim!En: "So that was your secret!Nl: Dat is zo lief van je, Lars."En: That's so sweet of you, Lars."Nl: Met een flinke portie humor en geduld wisten ze uiteindelijk de verwarring op te helderen.En: With a good dose of humor and patience, they eventually managed to clear up the confusion.Nl: De medische check-up vond eindelijk plaats, hoewel iets later dan verwacht.En: The medical check-up finally took place, although a bit later than expected.Nl: Maar Lars kon het waarderen hoe luchtig Jasmijn over alles bleef en hij leerde om wat losser te zijn.En: But Lars appreciated how easygoing Jasmijn remained about everything, and he learned to be a bit more relaxed.Nl: Nadat ze het ziekenhuis verlieten, glimlachte Jasmijn naar Lars.En: After they left the hospital, Jasmijn smiled at Lars.Nl: "Je doet zo veel moeite voor ons.En: "You go through so much trouble for us.Nl: Bedankt," zei ze, zijn hand stevig vasthoudend.En: Thank you," she said, holding his hand tightly.Nl: Lars glimlachte terug, opgelucht dat Jasmijn blij was en dat hun dag alsnog goed verliep.En: Lars smiled back, relieved that Jasmijn was happy and that their day still went well.Nl: Die avond genoten ze van het diner, exact zoals Lars in gedachten had, en het was nog beter dan hij zich had kunnen voorstellen.En: That evening they enjoyed the dinner, just as Lars had imagined, and it was even better than he could have envisioned.Nl: Het was een Valentijnsdag om nooit te vergeten, en zelfs Lars kon uiteindelijk lachen om het avontuur in het ziekenhuis.En: It was a Valentine's Day to remember, and even Lars could eventually laugh about the adventure at the hospital.

Tivoli.Da: Katrine, derimod, tænkte mere praktisk.En: Katrine, on the other hand, thought more practically.Da: Hun vidste, at Søren af og til tog chancer uden at tænke på konsekvenserne.En: She knew that Søren sometimes took chances without thinking about the consequences.Da: "Jeg må holde øje med ham," sagde hun til sig selv.En: "I have to keep an eye on him," she said to herself.Da: Med dem var

took charge of the situation, sharply observing Søren's condition.Da: "Der er førstehjælpsstationer rundt omkring.En: "There are first aid stations around.Da: Vi skal finde en," sagde han hurtigt.En: We need to find one," he said quickly.Da: De skyndte sig gennem folkemængden, hvor lysene fortsat blinkede og folks latter fyldte luften.En: They hurried through the crowd, where the lights continued to blink and people's laughter filled the air.Da: Endelig fandt Katrine en nødkit tæt på indgangen til en af de større attraktioner.En: Finally, Katrine found an emergency kit near the entrance to one of the larger attractions.Da: Hun fandt antihistaminer i kittet og gav dem til Emil.En: She found antihistamines in the kit and handed them to Emil.Da: Mens Emil forsigtigt administrerede medicinen, prøvede Katrine at berolige Søren.En: While Emil carefully administered the medicine, Katrine tried to calm Søren.Da: "Rolig, Søren.En: "Calm down, Søren.Da: Det skal nok gå," sagde hun med en fast hånd på hans arm.En: It's going to be okay," she said with a firm hand on his arm.Da: Minutterne føltes som timer, men snart viste tegnene på bedring sig.En: The minutes felt like hours, but soon signs of improvement appeared.Da: Søren kunne endelig trække vejret igen, og kløen begyndte at aftage.En: Søren could finally breathe again, and the itching began to subside.Da: Med en dyb indånding vendte han sig mod sine venner.En: With a deep breath, he turned to his friends.Da: "Tak, Katrine.En: "Thank you, Katrine.Da: Tak, Emil.En: Thank you, Emil.Da: Jeg kunne ikke have klaret det uden jer."En: I couldn't have managed without you both."Da: Da de var sikre på, at Søren havde det bedre, besluttede de at fortsætte med deres dag.En: Once they were sure Søren was better, they decided to continue with their day.Da: Tivoli Haven ventede stadig, med sin magiske atmosfære og glitrende kæfkager.En: Tivoli Haven still awaited them, with its magical atmosphere and sparkling fried doughnuts.Da: Søren havde lært noget vigtigt den dag.En: Søren had learned something important that day.Da: "Jeg vil tænke mere over risikoerne fremover," sagde han, mens han kiggede på Katrine med kærlige øjne.En: "I'll think more about the risks in the future," he said, looking at Katrine with loving eyes.Da: Han satte pris på den støtte, han havde fra dem begge, og vidste at sådanne oplevelser kun bragte dem tættere sammen.En: He appreciated the support he had from both of them and knew that such experiences only brought them closer together.Da: Valentinsdag i Tivoli sluttede som

*Disclaimer* This episode contains adult content and is not recommended for young listeners.   Hebrews 12:15 NLT “Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.”   *Transcription Below*   About Dr. Morgan Cutlip:  It's hard to know where to start so I'll start with what matters most to me and that's my relationships.   I'm a mother to two kids, Effie (12) and Roy (9). They are hilarious, spirited, spicy, deeply thoughtful and emotional kids. I adore them and being their mother. They've challenged me in the most surprising and wonderful ways. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Chad. I always feel like I lose a little street cred when I say that so, for the record, we didn't date that entire time and eventually reconnected years after college on MySpace (yup, now I've aged myself). He's the love of my life, an incredible man that loves others deeply, works so very hard, and continues to be open to growth and change.   I've worked in the field of relationship education for over 15 years alongside my father, Dr. John Van Epp, who is the founder of Love Thinks and developer of multiple relationship education courses that have been taught to over a million people worldwide. I started traveling to conferences with him when I was in junior high and so, in many ways, it feels like I've grown up in the relationship education field. He's amazing and brilliant and I'm blessed to have learned so much from him over the years we worked together and just cherish our relationship.   I distinctly remember a conversation with my dad over 20 years ago where I said that someday I wanted to support women, but I just wasn't sure how.   Fast forward 10 years and Effie (our oldest) was born and, holy moly, did motherhood hit me like a ton of bricks and I completely lost myself in motherhood (you can read the full story in my book).

 Do you struggle with chronic, painful conditions? Are you unsure of what steps to take next? Do you long to reclaim your life despite the pain? You are not alone—an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide live with chronic pain. Pain knows no boundaries; it affects men, women, and children of all ages. It can result from accidents, illnesses, trauma, or other life events. So, how can someone continue to live well while managing pain?Vita Oyler has faced a painful condition called RSD for over thirty-five years. In addition to RSD, she has developed other chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia and osteoporosis. Through her journey, Vita has learned to focus on goals, family, hobbies, laughter, animals, and alternative strategies, all of which have helped her achieve a happy and fulfilling life. She authored this book to support others living with chronic pain, as well as their families and friends, offering hope and practical advice for a better quality of life.She is the author of Got Pain?

Connect with Mel Connect with Coach MikkiWhat if “unlucky” is just a story we inherited, and we're free to rewrite it? We kick things off with Friday the 13th and follow the thread through Norse myths, the Last Supper, and the Knights Templar to see how fear gathers power over time. Then we flip the script with Galentine's Day, turning a date with a bad reputation into a bright spot for friendship, humor, and everyday love that doesn't wait for a calendar prompt.From there, we lose it in laughter talking about  the rituals we learned as kids, honking through tunnels, lifting our feet over railroad tracks, counting cows until a cemetery reset, still echo in how we chase luck and ward off jitters. We share the nostalgia of vintage toys and board games (yes, Operation's terrifying buzz and Monopoly debt at age 10), plus the handmade Barbie outfits that prove fashion really does come back around—hello again, shoulder pads. These memories aren't just cute; they're a map of how culture changes and how we choose what to keep.We also open up about what we're building now. Mel's crafting seasonal word search books, sketching cozy mysteries, and launching a stock photo portfolio. Mickey's fresh off a keynote on why comfort zones kill success and is racing to finish a new book before a small East Coast signing tour. Creativity becomes our counterspell to superstition: show up, make something, share it. That's how we make our own luck.If you've ever wondered why 13 feels spooky, whether numerology helps or hinders, or how a sitcom joke turned into a global celebration of women's friendship, you'll feel right at home here. Come for the folklore and stay for the heart, the laughs, and the reminder that joy lands best when it's shared. If this conversation made you smile, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review, what superstition are you still carrying? We look forward to seeing you succeed! - www.KeepOnSharing.com - Code - KOSSupport the showJoin my guests on my YouTube Channel

“As we move up the pyramid of command and control, people stop telling us the truth. We as leaders actually become dumber.” – What if everything you learned about leadership is based on a system designed for sovereigns managing illiterate peasants?In this episode, Peter Laughter – a recovering CEO, Quaker, and self-described student of human connection – challenges the foundations of how we lead organizations. Drawing from his own transformation (from anxiety-ridden command-and-control leader to champion of distributed power), Peter lays out a radically different vision: one where your job as a leader isn't to have the answers, but to make sure the people who do can actually speak up.What You'll Discover:[00:00] Why Disruption Is Just Evolution – And Why We Keep Fighting It→ The biological case for why struggle is the feature, not the bug – and why the gap between technological waves has collapsed[06:00] The Deming Effect: How Market Forces Will Force Leadership Change→ Why big organizations can't change from within, and how a wave of AI-displaced workers will build something better from scratch[12:00] Why Bayer's Top-Down Decentralization Might Be Doomed→ The critical difference between mandating a system and growing one – and lessons from Zappos' Holacracy disaster[18:00] The Becky Moment: When an Employee Called Out Her CEO's Core Values Violation→ Peter's personal turning point – how getting overruled by a team member killed his anxiety and changed his entire leadership philosophy[24:00] How to Actually Start: The “What Are You Seeing?” Framework→ A dead-simple Monday-morning practice that shifts you from having the plan to gathering perspectives[30:00] Why Consensus Is Violence and Decisions Should Be Made by Framework→ How Peter built a values-based decision system where employees could challenge the CEO – and why it produced better outcomes[36:00] Recruiting Is Broken: Why You Should Hire Happy People, Not Desperate Ones→ Why starting the recruiting process before you need someone completely changes who you attract[40:00] The Misconception That Hurt Most: “I Was Supposed to Be The One”→ Peter's answer to what he got wrong – and why he's optimistic about the future despite everythingKey Takeaways:Command and control doesn't just limit organizations – it actively makes leaders dumber by cutting off honest feedbackYou don't need everyone on board to change an organization – 20-30% creates a cascade (Greg Satel's Cascades model)Start any leadership challenge by asking “What are you seeing?” and actually listening for the brilliance in the answerReplace consensus (which beats ideas down to the least common denominator) with values-based decision frameworksThe gap between idea and reality is now nearly zero – and that changes everything about who can build whatAbout Peter:Peter is a former CEO turned leadership advisor whose work centers on what he calls “abundant leadership” – the recognition that power and authority are fluid, not fixed. Rooted in Quaker decision-making principles and real-world experience building distributed organizations, he helps leaders create environments where emergent leadership can thrive.

Transcript:It: Nel vasto silenzio dell'Artico, il sole d'inverno splendeva sul bianco deserto di neve.En: In the vast silence of the Arctic, the winter sun shone on the white desert of snow.It: Luca, con un cuore pieno di romanticismo e speranza, aveva una missione: costruire il perfetto pupazzo di neve per San Valentino.En: Luca, with a heart full of romance and hope, had a mission: to build the perfect snowman for Valentine's Day.It: Chiara e Alessandro, i suoi fedeli compagni, lo accompagnavano in questa impresa.En: Chiara and Alessandro, his faithful companions, were accompanying him on this endeavor.It: "Guarda quant'è bella questa distesa," disse Chiara, scettica ma entusiasta di supportare Luca.En: "Look at how beautiful this expanse is," said Chiara, skeptical but enthusiastic about supporting Luca.It: "Sì, sì, la neve è bella," scherzò Alessandro, sgranando gli occhi.En: "Yes, yes, the snow is beautiful," joked Alessandro, widening his eyes.It: "Ma è troppo soffice, sembra zucchero a velo!"En: "But it's too soft, it looks like powdered sugar!"It: Luca annuì, deciso.En: Luca nodded, determined.It: Nonostante la neve fosse troppo polverosa per formare un pupazzo di neve adeguato, la sua determinazione non vacillava.En: Despite the snow being too powdery to form an adequate snowman, his determination did not waver.It: Cominciarono a lavorare, ma ogni tentativo falliva miseramente.En: They began to work, but every attempt failed miserably.It: La neve si sgretolava tra le loro mani.En: The snow crumbled in their hands.It: All'improvviso, un suono insolito.En: Suddenly, an unusual sound.It: Un orso polare, curioso e senza timore, apparve a pochi metri da loro.En: A polar bear, curious and fearless, appeared just a few meters from them.It: Alessandro si mise subito a scherzare, facendo finta di conversare con l'orso.En: Alessandro immediately started joking, pretending to converse with the bear.It: "Amico peloso," esclamò, "cerchiamo di fare un pupazzo, non hai visto niente di speciale!"En: "Furry friend," he exclaimed, "we're trying to make a snowman, you haven't seen anything special!"It: Luca guardava preoccupato, ma Chiara sapeva che Alessandro stava solo cercando di alleggerire la tensione.En: Luca watched worriedly, but Chiara knew that Alessandro was just trying to lighten the tension.It: "Luca, proviamo a prendere un po' di neve lì, sotto quello sporgenza," suggerì Chiara, indicando un'area più riparata.En: "Luca, let's try to get some snow over there, under that ledge," suggested Chiara, pointing to a more sheltered area.It: Mentre Alessandro divertiva l'orso con movimenti strani e vocalizzi ridicoli, Luca e Chiara raccolsero la neve più umida e cominciarono a formare, pezzo per pezzo, il pupazzo traballante.En: While Alessandro entertained the bear with strange movements and ridiculous vocalizations, Luca and Chiara gathered the more humid snow and began to form, piece by piece, the wobbly snowman.It: Finalmente,

Message by Doug Bunnell, recorded live February 8, 2026 at First Presbyterian Church of Bellingham. Scripture read by Efton Park.LaughterNothing is too wonderful for the Lord!What might the three visitors represent in this passage?What does Sarah's laughter reveal about her faith and experience?How does this passage deepen our understanding of God's faithfulness to His promises?What promises of God are hardest for you to trust right now?What encouragement does this passage give to those waiting on God's promises?Genesis 18:1-15 1The Lord appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day. 2 He looked up and saw three men standing near him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent entrance to meet them and bowed down to the ground. 3 He said, “My lord, if I find favor with you, do not pass by your servant. 4 Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. 5 Let me bring a little bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.” 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah and said, “Make ready quickly three measures of choice flour, knead it, and make cakes.” 7 Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it. 8 Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared and set it before them, and he stood by them under the tree while they ate.9 They said to him, “Where is your wife Sarah?” And he said, “There, in the tent.” 10 Then one said, “I will surely return to you in due season, and your wife Sarah shall have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent entrance behind him. 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I be fruitful?” 13 The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?' 14 Is anything too wonderful for the Lord? At the set time I will return to you, in due season, and Sarah shall have a son.” 15 But Sarah denied, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “Yes, you did laugh."

Due to factors it's another ride on the remote record train as the Bucks-Hulme-Palace trifecta is enacted once again. But fear not, for geographical limitation does not lead to content limitation, and the show's exemplary badinage level is kept high.The trifecta briefly becomes a quadfecta through the addition of comedian and protocol penner, Pierre Novellie. Yes, the man who made it his business to codify the essence of Cymru Connecting stops by to adjudicate a live connection attempt. But not before taking questions on the Boer War and explaining what the Dutch have to do with all of this.Then it's onto an old classic Made Up Game that reveals slightly too much information about its players…Do you have contributions that will help us maintain industry leading levels of badinage?

Text us, We would love to her from YOU!What if laughter isn't a break from healing… but part of the healing itself?In this uplifting and surprisingly practical conversation, Dr. Sandra Marie welcomes intuitive reader and teacher Melissa Abell to explore how humor, play, and spiritual lightness help regulate the body, restore perspective, and reconnect us with a sense of safety.While so much growth work focuses on effort, processing, and fixing what's wrong, Melissa opens another doorway, one available in ordinary moments, shared smiles, absurd mishaps, and even deliberate practice.Together they bridge neuroscience, trauma recovery, intuitive guidance, and lived experience to ask:

The deal isn't closed by force; it's closed by clarity. Most of you are white-knuckling the steering wheel of your career, praying the upholstery doesn't rip before you hit your Q4 numbers. You're treating your discovery calls like a tactical extraction and your nervous system like a rented mule. It's high-friction, low-resonance, and frankly, it's a waste of your biological bandwidth. We sat down with Kevin Hubschmann, the founder of Laugh Dot Events, to discuss why your "professional" persona is actually a bottleneck for your ROI. Kevin transitioned from selling enterprise SaaS to what he calls "LaaS" (Laughter as a Service). But this isn't about telling jokes in the breakroom. This is about Human Physics. It's about using the mechanics of improv to regulate your state, navigate high-stakes environments, and stop being a "JV" version of yourself. When you operate with less internal friction, the market responds. Key Insights for the Coherent Leader: "F*** Your Good Idea": In improv and enterprise sales, your attachment to your own "brilliant" next line is a parasite. It eats your capacity to listen. Kevin highlights that true leverage comes from abandoning your script to meet the resonance of the room. Stop interrupting the flow to deliver a pitch the client didn't ask for. The Identity Tax: Most professionals suffer from a split-personality deficit—a "9-to-5" robot and a "5-to-9" human. This internal dissonance is a massive energy leak. Kevin's "unlock" happened when a mentor gave him permission to stop being a "Salesman" and start being himself. Authenticity isn't a soft skill; it's a regulation strategy. The Corporate Simulation: We all use the same twenty buzzwords—"circle back," "synergy," "alignment"—to mask the fact that we're stressed. Acknowledging the absurdity of the corporate vernacular reduces the collective pressure in the room. Laughter is the fastest way to reset a dysregulated team and restore cognitive bandwidth. Strategic Empathy as Leverage: Enterprise deals aren't won by "crushing" the opposition. They are won by making your champion a rockstar. Kevin's approach focuses on finding the right budget—shifting from a "tactical" spend to a "strategic" investment—by reading the human physics of the organization. The Shift: Stop trying to override your biology with more caffeine and louder presentations. Regulation is the new competitive advantage. Kevin's work proves that when you lean into levity and presence, you aren't just "having fun"—you are increasing your capacity to handle complexity. You are becoming the eye of the storm. If your team is currently vibrating at a frequency of pure anxiety, it's time to recalibrate. Operate with less friction. The results will follow the resonance. If your team is vibrating with unnecessary friction, Kevin is the eye of the storm you need. Get your offsite sorted before the wheels fall off. Navigate over to https://laughrx.laugh.events and fix your culture before it breaks you.

Life is filled with both celebration and sorrow — laughter and tears. In Genesis 21, we see how God uses every season to shape our faith and prepare us for what's ahead. This chapter shows us that joy doesn't cancel hardship, and hardship doesn't mean God has left us. Through fulfilled promises, painful decisions, wilderness […]

Do you wonder about your past lives and how they might be impacting your life today? That's what the Akashic Records are all about and my guest, Mary Madeiras explains everything beautifully. Mary is an Advanced Akashic Records Practitioner, author, and three-time Emmy award-winning television director. Yes, that combination is as interesting as it sounds. Her background provides a rare way of translating big spiritual ideas into language that makes sense. What Are the Akashic Records? Mary explains the Akashic Records in a way that people immediately get. They're not some distant cosmic filing system reserved for mystics. The Records are a source of insight connected to your soul and higher awareness. Everything you have done in the past, are doing today, and possibly may do in the future can be found in one place. Don't go to the Akashic Records to collect past-life trivia or dramatic stories to entertain yourself. This information or resource is meant for understanding patterns, gaining clarity on issues happening now, and most of all, remembering who you are. What surprises many people is how practical working with the Records can be. Clear answers are often found about questions regarding relationships, work, creativity, or your direction in life. These are all ideal queries for the Akashic Library. For Mary, accessing the Records feels less like a solemn ritual. Her experience shows up more like stepping into a curious, open conversation with a wiser part of herself. She's encountered many wonderful revelations for her clients as well. How the Records Appear People often expect the Akashic Records to appear as a grand inner vision. You might see an ancient massive library filled with an endless sea of books. That image works beautifully for me and many others. However, Mary's experience is very different. In fact, she doesn't see a library at all. Instead, the information she receives comes through as a strong sense of knowing. Mary calls these impressions quantum visuals, meaning they aren't pictures so much as complete ideas that arrive fully formed. Imagine a block of information downloading to your intuitive brain. Officially, this is called claircognizance or knowing. Mary doesn't access her imagination or memory. The knowledge appears clear and direct in her mind, like it was brought there all at once. Over time, Mary learned to trust her intuition. She uses all of the “clairs” including listening, sensing, feeling, and knowing. This broader intuitive process allows the records to communicate in whatever way works best for each practitioner. It's a relief for many people to hear that there's no single right way to work with the Akashic. You don't need dramatic inner movies or to hear voices to do this intuitive work. The message always matters more than the method of delivery. Past Lives Without the Drama The Akashic Records can reveal past lives, but not always the way you might expect. These stories aren't about the details of a life, but more about context. Past-life information tends to surface when it helps explain something puzzling that's happening now. Clients can learn about roles they once held, themes that keep repeating, or relationships that feel strangely familiar. I asked Mary if it was like the soap operas and we laughed! However, the valuable insights aren't in the story itself. The information helps people understand their current choices, fears, and strengths. When viewed this way, past lives stop feeling abstract or like a curiosity. Your previous incarnations become a tool for insight, healing, and personal growth. Get the Ego Out of the Way One of the most important parts of Mary's work is learning how to step aside mentally and emotionally. She does this by consciously setting her ego aside before opening the records. Imagine that she tells her ego to take a seat in the corner and be quiet. This matters because opinions, assumptions, and personal filters can easily distort intuitive information. By releasing the need to interpret or judge what comes through, Mary allows the guidance to remain clear. She becomes temporarily incapable of having an opinion during sessions, which is exactly what makes the information so valuable for clients. Fascinating Past Life Stories Some of the most memorable moments in Mary's work come from retelling clues from the Records. One client who is an artist, had visited France and would always cry as she was leaving. She couldn't understand what this was about. Through the Records, Mary discovered a past life in which the client had been apprenticed to a lesser-known painter, who she worked for and then married. She would finish his work for him as part of her job. What made the experience powerful was that it tied her travel to France with being an artist in this life. After doing some research, she figured out which painter she'd been married to. The Akashic reminded her of something old and familiar and connected them to make more sense. The Records Are Within One of Mary's core teachings is that the Akashic Records are within you. You're not separate from them, and the information isn't hidden behind spiritual barriers. Turns out all of this data is part of your own energetic makeup. Across cultures and time periods, different traditions have pointed to this same idea. Edgar Cayce spoke about the records. The Bible refer to a Book of Life. Modern physics talks about fields of information and possibility. These are different languages, but all the same concept. Everything is connected, and your lessons are never truly lost. When you see the Akashic Records this way, they stop feeling mysterious or unreachable. They become something you can trust and access in your own way. A Lighter Way As our conversation came to a close, Mary shared a message that felt especially important and reassuring. Despite how chaotic the world seems right now, you are likely doing better than you think. There's a tendency to believe you need fixing or that you are missing something essential. The records consistently suggest otherwise. Mary encourages people to notice what brings ease and enjoyment into their daily lives. Small moments of pleasure matter. Laughter matters. Feeling connected matters as well as doing what you love. These aren't distractions from spiritual growth – they're a big part of it! Live With Curiosity and Trust live with curiosity and trust The purpose of exploring the Akashic Records is to better understand your life and the lessons you’re learning. When you approach your personal development and spiritual growth with curiosity, your own insights and choices become easier. Decisions feel less pressurized. Mary's work reminds you that wisdom doesn't have to be heavy or dramatic. Sometimes it's simple and even fun. Often, it's waiting for you to stop striving and take the time to simply listen.

For decades, Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s music went virtually unnoticed. Beginning in 1970, he released records that crossed folk, R&B, electronic music, and other genres, always seeking new territory. That changed in 2017, when his 1986 album Keyboard Fantasies was rediscovered, ushering in renewed interest in his work. Since then, Glenn—who came out as a trans man in 2002—has toured and released new music for a growing, devoted audience. In 2024, however, he was diagnosed with dementia. While at first they thought this would be the end of his performing career, Glenn and his wife, Elizabeth Copeland, are returning to play a short run of Canadian dates and releasing a new album, Laughter in Summer, on Feb. 6 via Transgressive Records. KEXP’s Dusty Henry speaks with the couple about returning to music in the face of Glenn’s diagnosis, the purpose and power of their work, and the love that binds them together. “I always considered that the music that I ‘wrote’ was sent to me from a higher source,” Glenn says. “You can't do that if you don't work at your craft, whatever it is. But if you do, and there's something special about what you're doing, then you're going to get sent some amazing stuff.” Photo credit: Wade MuirSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
