Three-Time Emmy Award-Winning Director Pens a Groundbreaking New Book Revealing Radical Perspectives for Humanity's Future and Divine Wisdom to Guide the Soul's True Purpose Through Intimate Stories and Divine Messages, The Akashic Way Guides Readers to Remember their Purpose, Heal and Transform past Trauma and Live a Life Rooted in Love What if you could tap into a higher realm of wisdom, only to realize the answers to life's challenges and your deepest questions have been within you all along? The Akashic Records—the energetic archive of information that holds the details of each soul's journey—is just that realm, and it's more accessible than you may think. In her powerful new book, The Akashic Way: Living Through the Lens of the Akashic Records, three-time Emmy Award-winning director and advanced Akashic Records practitioner Mary Madeiras invites readers into a living collaboration with the Divine Source itself. Madeiras shares her own experiences and personal Akashic readings, illustrating how accessing this realm has guided her through challenges to healing and to the remembering of her Soul's chosen path. The Akashic Way touches upon the many challenges that pull us away from connecting with our intuition and inner love—relationship struggles, traumas, unresolved patterns, health issues. Madeiras shows how anyone can access this deeper guidance to create meaningful change and awaken that inner love. Her personal Akashic exchanges—woven with messages for humanity—offer readers the opportunity to reflect on their life's purpose. The wisdom from the Akashic Realm is a profound tool for rediscovering purpose, trusting intuition, and learning to live through love and intention. As Madeiras writes, “I titled this book The Akashic Way because I believe that living life through the Akashic Records is a path back to ourselves—a way to remember who we are, why we chose to come here, and what we are here to do. When we view our life through our own Akashic lens, we experience self-empowerment in the most profound way.” About the Author Mary Madeiras is an Advanced Akashic Records Practitioner, author, and three-time Emmy Award-winning television director whose career bridges the worlds of spiritual transformation and broadcast storytelling. She has opened the Akashic Records for individuals and corporations worldwide, offering soul-level guidance, healing, and divine remembrance. Her book, The Akashic Way – Living Through the Lens of the Akashic Records, shares direct transmissions from the Records as a sacred offering for humanity's evolution. Mary's celebrated directing career spans news, talk shows, sports, and seven top-rated daytime dramas—including General Hospital and Another World—earning her three Emmy Awards and a Directors Guild of America Award. Her creative life and spiritual practice now exist in a living collaboration, where divine wisdom informs every story she tells.

Shannon Struble has spent more than a decade prosecuting gang-related crimes in a county with a lot of violent gang activity. In this episode, she takes us inside the day-to-day life of a prosecutor. Shannon walks through the fast-paced charging process — where prosecutors have just 48 hours to review evidence and decide whether to file charges — negotiating pleas, and navigating the courtroom. She reflects on the vicarious trauma of watching crimes unfold on body cam footage, responding to homicide scenes at 2 a.m., and finding moments of reward when rehabilitation succeeds. Shannon also explores what justice really looks like and the role prosecutors can play in supporting rehabilitation, not just punishment. Shannon is a graduate of Arizona State University Sandra Day O'Connor School of Law.This episode is hosted by Kyle McEntee.Mentioned in this episode:Colorado LawLearn more about Colorado LawAccess LawHub today!

Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar The Impact of Global Change on Food Security in 2050: Assessing the Risks Through the Lens of Food Trade Organized by IFPRI in partnership with MIT Abdul Latif Jameel Water and Food Systems Lab/FACT Alliance November 19, 2025 Trade is crucial to achieving food security. The Jameel Index for Food Trade and Vulnerability (Jameel Index) is a valuable new tool to guide policy and investment decisions that support sustainable international development and food security through food trade. The Index provides food trade vulnerability scores for more than 180 countries by synthesizing global indicators into a composite vulnerability index to better understand how food trade dynamics can affect food security. It combines a range of meta-indicators to assess food trade vulnerability for nine staple crops and economically important agricultural commodities. The online platform also allows users to customize the Index to reflect their policy or investment questions. This seminar will present results from the Jameel Index for global change scenario projections to 2050, with inputs from IFPRI's Food Modeling Framework. IFPRI's IMPACT-GLOBE modeling linkage and new bespoke bilateral trade model, developed specifically for the Jameel Index, uses a set of population and economic growth, along with climate change scenarios. The seminar will present findings related to food trade, food import vulnerability, and food security, along with insights on drivers of these findings. Following the presentation of results, a panel of food trade and development experts will discuss policy implications. A general Q&A session will follow the panel.

Tim Shriver—educator, author, and longtime Chairman of Special Olympics—joins Kate for a tender, funny, deeply practical conversation about dignity: what changes when we decide everyone matters, how relationships (not information) do the real work, and why service is more than “being nice.” Together they trace a family story from Rosemary Kennedy to Eunice Kennedy Shriver to millions of athletes, swap hospital-and-gymnasium epiphanies, and offer a simple lens for disagreeing better. It’s an invitation to the “really real,” where joy and sorrow live together and love makes people—and communities—more fully alive. SHOW NOTES: Special Olympics — The global movement founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver and now led by Tim. Dignity Index — A practical tool for scoring how we speak across difference, helping us learn to disagree without contempt. Unite — A bridge-building initiative founded by Tim Shriver to foster common ground and shared dignity. CASEL — The pioneering framework for social and emotional learning Tim helped develop.

What does it mean to be a gospel-centered church and should we be a gospel-centered church? As we think through taking the Gospel into the world and fulfilling the Great Commission, have we short changed discipleship by making Matthew 28 all about evangelism? In this conversation with Brandon Stiver, author and missiologist Alan Hirsch joins the show to discuss the current state of discipleship within the church, emphasizing the disconnect between modern practices and the teachings of Jesus. He argues that without true discipleship, churches risk producing a form of religion that strays from Christ-likeness.

Alan's experience growing up as a Jewish person in apartheid South Africa If the churches that we lead do not disciple, we will produce bad religion. We are not producing Christ-likeness in our churches. The image of God is reflected in Jesus' way of being human. Modern churches need to align more closely with Jesus' teachings. The consequences of poor discipleship can be detrimental to faith communities. Examples of modern Christians that are getting discipleship right. Churches must focus on producing genuine followers of Christ. Theme music Kirk Osamayo. Free Music Archive, CC BY License
In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin speaks with Dr. Elliott Higgins, director of Health and Well-Being for UCLA's Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. Together they explore the development of the Well-Being Influencers Survey for Health Care (WISH)—a validated, non-proprietary tool that measures the organizational conditions shaping clinician well-being. Dr. Higgins discusses how WISH shifts the focus from individual burnout to systemic factors such as transparency, fairness, and psychological safety, offering leaders actionable insights to drive meaningful change. The conversation highlights how data-driven, collaborative research can reframe accountability, empower departments to tailor interventions, and move the national dialogue from burnout awareness toward system-level solutions that enhance both workforce and patient care.

On this, our 301st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss grief and mourning, and what makes us human. How many distinctly human traits will we prune away before we realize that we have gone too far, that there is too little remaining of humanity to be resurrected? From the Industrial Revolution(s) to that of AI, now we've got apps that threaten to keep your loved ones “alive” forever, with none of the valuable complexity that ancient grieving traditions offer. Then: bonobos show evidence of language use that is emergent—in which combinations of sounds mean more than the sum of their parts.

They discuss a study by a University in Finland covered by Inc magazine and the Dunning-Kruger effect it found, both in people's perceptions of their own AI abilities and in the subject matter they are using AI to create. If you have a question for the bar or an opinion on this week's discussion, please get in touch - just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.

As we close out a milestone week at The Daily Influence, Brian reflects on how reviewing our week through the lens of influence helps us grow with greater intention and awareness. Instead of judging your week as “good” or “bad,” consider how your influence showed up—how you affected others and how others shaped you in return. In this episode, Brian shares why reflection isn't about dwelling on the past but preparing for what's ahead. By viewing our actions, words, and choices as mirrors rather than measures, we can recognize our ripples, learn from them, and begin again with renewed purpose.

The Bataclan music venue has become synonymous with the Paris terror attacks of November 2015, when 130 people were killed, 90 of them while attending an Eagles of Death Metal concert at the Bataclan. Photographer Marion Ruszniewski was on assignment at the venue and was injured in the attack. Ten years on, she tells us about the events of that tragic evening, as well as her feelings about returning to work at the Bataclan a year later. Plus, as Marion publishes a book detailing two decades of concert photography, we discuss the resilient spirit that saw Parisians return to the bars, cafés and concert halls in the aftermath of the tragedy.
On this, our 300th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss where we started back in March 2020: Covid, lockdowns, sunlight, masks, repurposed drugs, grainy videos, and more. Then: the recent and on-going massive solar storms, and how to think about them, now and in the future, especially if you find yourself away from home as a civilization ending event may be about to happen. Also: space weather, or anthropogenic climate change, or both?

Can you unpack the changes happening in U.S. politics by examining one small Ohio town? For New York Times best-selling author Beth Macy, the answer is yes and it's personal.
From a Curious Teen to a Confident Voice in Creation ScienceBorn a Buckeye near Columbus, Ohio, Dr. Georgia Purdom grew up in public school where she got a solid education — but something was missing. The classroom instruction didn't point to the Bible, and the lessons never once started with Scripture. Even as a teenager, Georgia knew she wanted more than just academics — she wanted truth grounded in God's Word.That desire led her to Cedarville University, a Christian college nestled in the heart of Ohio, where she graduated in 1994 with a degree in biology. It wasn't just the labs and lectures that shaped her — it was the biblical worldview woven into every subject.One Truth That Changed EverythingYears later, on a return visit to Cedarville's campus, Georgia had a moment that would shape the rest of her career. She realized the truth that death didn't exist before sin — a foundational biblical principle — and it struck her deeply. That idea, rooted in Scripture, turned her thinking upside down and lit a fire in her heart. If you start with the Bible, everything — from science to society — makes a whole lot more sense.From the Lab to the Lens of ScriptureToday, Dr. Purdom serves as the Vice President of Educational Content at Answers in Genesis, where she's not only teaching others but also defending the faith with a scientist's eye and a believer's heart. She serves as an expert on Answers News, a video YouTube program, where current events and scientific discoveries are unpacked through the lens of Scripture. Whether she's diving into debates about evolution or discussing the impact of artificial intelligence, she brings clarity by always starting with God's Word.Why She Believes What She Believes — and Helps Others Do the SameHer work is about more than sharing facts — it's about helping people understand why they believe what they believe. Georgia knows that the world throws a thousand messages at Christians every day, but her advice is simple and steady: Go back to the Bible. It speaks to every challenge we face, even the ones wrapped in modern-day tech and culture.Recently, she sat down with the Cedarville Stories podcast to share her journey — how a curious young girl from Ohio became a leading voice in creation science. Her path hasn't always been easy, but it's always been purposeful. Every step grounded in truth. Every message rooted in Scripture.And if Georgia Purdom has learned anything along the way, it's this: When you build your life on God's Word, you never walk alone — and you're always on solid ground.https://share.transistor.fm/s/013d7b33https://youtu.be/aUTjITArw6M
In June 2025, the Contact Lens Institute (CLI) published Digital Discovery: Consumer Searches Reveal Contact Lens Realities, a comprehensive look at how and why people are seeking more information about these products online.The report examines multiple aspects of search behaviors, culled from public data sources, primarily focused on the United States and Canada. These include diving into the most common contact lenses searches via Google and on other platforms.CLI data also sheds light on the most common questions that reveal patient challenges, suggesting that the contact lens community may benefit from increased focus on health and safety, cost, wear and care, and how brands differAs traditional digital search evolves with the adoption of AI platforms, CLI also investigated how common large language models such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini are handling contact lens queries. While steadily advancing, those technologies' abilities to provide the best sources of information are inconsistent, meaning that practitioners may want to have preemptive conversations about AI-generated results with patients who are likely usersAt Vision Expo West, this September, a panel of CLI Visionaries including Andrew Bruce, Dr. Jade Coats, and Jennifer Seymour discussed some of the important findings of the Digital Discovery report.A little bit about the speakers:Andrew Bruce, LDO, ABOM, NCLEM, FCLSA, is a licensed master optician and contact lens fitting specialist in Vancouver, Washington, and founder of ASB Opticianry Education Services. Jade Coats, OD, FAAO, is a nationally recognized optometrist from Bentonville, Arkansas, with clinical expertise in ocular surface disease, dry eye management, contact lenses, and perioperative care for premium cataract and refractive surgery. Jennifer Seymour, LDO, FCLSA, NCLEM, ABO-AC, AAS, is a Nevada Licensed Dispensing Optician, ABO-AC and NCLE-AC nationally certified. Her passion for fitting contact lenses came during her schooling for licensure, learning how contact lenses change patients' lives.Learn more about the Contact Lens Institute and the Digital Discovery Report:https://www.contactlensinstitute.org/resources/digital-search/Love the show?

Dallas-based painter Matt Kaplinsky captures the spirit of place through a warm, folksy impressionism that blends nature, memory, and imagination. A self-taught artist inspired by Matisse, Van Gogh, and Bonnard, Matt paints with curiosity and flow—allowing each brushstroke to reveal where Creative Intelligence wants to go next.In this conversation, Matt and CJ explore how the path of least resistance guides both art and life. Matt shares how his work continually “veers off,” and instead of fighting it, he listens to the subtle energies leading him downstream. From vivid cowboy scenes to delicate garden still lifes, each painting becomes a dialogue between effort and surrender.Together, they discuss how art acts as a lens—not transparent like glasses, but a spiritual way of seeing. Through that lens, we glimpse a shared universe, where making and viewing art allows us to perceive more than the surface of things.Matt reminds us: the best paintings happen when we stop forcing the outcome and simply flow with what is.“If you're alive and you can take in art, for a moment your brain is looking through the lens of the artist and glancing into a different sense of our shared reality.”Learn more about Matt at www.mattkaplinsky.com and find him on Instagram @mattkaplinsky.Want to learn more about CJ Miller? Check out his Spiritual Artist Retreats, 1:1 Personal Coaching, and Speaking Engagements at www.spiritualartisttoday.com. His retreats are designed to help you reconnect with your Creative Intelligence and express your true artistic voice.

In this episode of Horizon Advisers Unleashed, Alex Dinser and Andrew Hinrichs sit down with John Diehl, Vice President of Hartford Funds and expert in behavioral finance, to explore how retirement planning has evolved beyond just numbers and nest eggs.Together, they unpack the concept of the “Freedom Paradox” — why having more time and choices in retirement doesn't automatically mean greater fulfillment. From purpose-driven planning to lifestyle design, this conversation dives into how emotions, identity, and behavior shape our financial decisions in this next chapter of life.Whether you're approaching retirement or guiding others through it, this episode offers a fresh perspective on aligning money with meaning — and redefining what true freedom looks like.

Too busy to read the Lens? Listen to our weekly summary here! In this week's episode we discuss:The risk of postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery is significantly greater in eyes with uveitis, corticosteroid use, and immunosuppressant use.Pediatric patients who undergo lensectomy for traumatic cataracts have low likelihood of achieving age-normal visual acuity, with nearly 50% requiring a secondary surgery for visual axis opacification. Fishing-related ocular injuries are on the decline, however they continue to be a large cause of corneal abrasions, contusions, and intraocular foreign bodies. Fishhooks and lures are the most common culprits.

In this heartfelt episode of Viva La Vulva, Dr. Cara Quant welcomes her wife and a queer couple who are close friends to share their deeply personal journeys through assisted reproductive technology. The conversation opens up the often-hidden world of intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) for LGBTQ+ families, exploring the unique challenges and considerations that come with building a family when conception requires medical intervention. The guests candidly discuss the process of selecting a sperm donor—from deciding between known and anonymous donors to scrolling through profiles that reduce potential genetic contributors to a list of characteristics, medical histories, and childhood photos. They share the surreal experience of making such an intimate choice through what can feel like an oddly transactional process, while also discussing how they navigated conversations about genetic connection, identity, and what they hoped to pass on to their future children.The episode doesn't shy away from the practical realities that make family-building through IUI and IVF particularly challenging for queer couples. The group discusses the staggering financial burden of these procedures, which are often not covered by insurance and can quickly climb into the tens of thousands of dollars, creating barriers that make parenthood inaccessible for many LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. Beyond the financial stress, they open up about the emotional rollercoaster—the hope that builds with each cycle, the grief that comes with negative pregnancy tests, the toll that hormone treatments take on the body, and the strain that the process can place on relationships. Dr. Quant brings her medical expertise to help contextualize the physical aspects of treatment while her guests provide the raw, lived experience, creating a conversation that's both informative and deeply human. The episode ultimately celebrates the resilience, love, and determination that drive people through this challenging journey toward parenthood.Resources: Follow Viva La Vulva and Dr. Cara on IG: @vivalavulvala and @drcaraquantFollow guests:Eli Dominguez-Quant: @eli_domOT Bremond: @theeyogashawteeDr. Diandra "Dee" Bremond: @mlkofthenewday
