He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver's #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history's most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary' was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver's Warner Brothers' feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries. “Urgyen and his sons and all Dzogchen people believe that dreaming is as important as meditating. Dreams are fluid, anything can happen in a dream. You can fly, you can walk through a wall. What Mingyur says is that is the perfect analogy for life itself; life is as fluid and as transparent as that dream, but we don't know it because we think it's solid because we can't put our finger through our hand.” –David SilverSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Discover Lafayette welcomes a true living legend of service to Acadiana: Dr. Mary B. Neiheisel. Dr. Neiheisel was the 2017 recipient of the prestigious Lafayette Civic Cup, one of the highest honors for civic service in our community. Her journey in Lafayette began in 1966, when she started teaching at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now UL Lafayette), launching 59 years of impact in education, healthcare, and community leadership. With quiet determination, Dr. Neiheisel helped build UL Lafayette's Nurse Practitioner Program, serving as its first coordinator and director and laying the foundation for graduate nursing education across the region. Beyond academia, her heart for service shines through her long-standing work at Faith House of Acadiana, where she serves as a nurse practitioner and advocate for survivors of domestic violence. Her legacy of compassion is now honored through the Mary B. Neiheisel Patron of Hope Award, created in her name to recognize extraordinary servant leadership in our community. From South Texas to Lafayette “I grew up in a very small town in South Texas, about 40 miles from San Antonio, called Stockdale.” Dr. Neiheisel traces her path into nursing back to her mother’s influence. “My mother always said that she concentrated on me being a nurse when she was pregnant. She said it was implanted. Consequently, she bought me the Cherry Ames nursing books when I was very young. Any medical shows on TV? We watched them. My mother started out to be a nurse, but she wanted to get married. And in those days, they did not allow the nurses to be married. So I think, you know, it was just her wish on me.” Dr. Neiheisel received her early education in San Antonio, completing her baccalaureate degree at the University of the Incarnate Word before moving to Austin and later earning her master's degree at the University of Colorado in 1965. She shares how she met her husband, Richard Neiheisel, then a USL history professor, and how that connection ultimately brought her to Lafayette in 1966. USL in the 1960s Reflecting on her early years on campus, Dr. Neiheisel recalls the realities of nursing education at the time: “We were actually in a condemned building.” She describes a small campus, modest facilities, and close-knit classes, noting how both the university and its nursing program have evolved into institutions that are now nationally known. Answering the Call to Teach Dr. Neiheisel explains what drew her to nursing education: “I felt like there was a real need for more faculty, more teachers in nursing, to help students learn the things that would be best in caring for their patients.” She speaks candidly about advocating for nursing education in what was largely a male-dominated academic environment, addressing disparities in pay and recognition while helping shape curriculum, meet state board standards, and recruit new faculty. “In 1984, Acadian Ambulance came to our college to ask about starting an EMT program in our college. And I had worked some in emergency room. Not that much, but I had actually taught some emergency room classes. So I was asked to work with Acadian Ambulance on that program. That was a great experience, Acadian Ambulance is really the business model. They knew what they wanted, and we put this together and then we needed a coordinator for that program in our college. Since I had been working with it, the dean asked me if I would be the coordinator of that program. And I said, no, I’m waiting for the graduate program. And she kind of looked at me like, you’re dreaming. But we continued to talk about our graduate program, and probably it was 1988, we actually were given permission to open our nursing graduate program, and I was offered the position of the first graduate nursing coordinator, which that was really exciting. Building the Nurse Practitioner Program Inspired by Dr. Loretta Ford, whom she calls “the mother of nurse practitioners,” Dr. Neiheisel carried a long-held vision for advanced nursing practice. Dr. Loretta Ford, known as “The Mother of the Nurse Practitioner Program, was a profound influence on Mary Neiheisel. Dr. Neiheisel says, “The year that I graduated with my master’s degree, Dr. Loretta Ford, who is considered the mother of nurse practitioners, the superwoman of nurse practitioners, actually came to our class and told us about the nurse practitioner program that she was starting, and she was a pediatric nurse. So it would be a pediatric nurse practitioner program. I was fascinated by the description that she gave for nurse practitioners and the independence that they would have and the way that they would be able to help patients, help people, help the population, not only in illness but in health, to maintain their health, to prevent disease. And I continued to kind of follow Dr. Ford and read what she was doing and seeing these programs opened. And she did start her program at the University of Colorado. She had six nurse practitioner students that year. There was, again, a lot of opposition to another role for nurses, but there was also a lot of support. She went on a national news. She went all over the country talking about the nurse practitioner program. She went from the University of Colorado to New York, started nurse practitioner programs there. And by that time they were really spreading across the country. In 1988, we finally were able to start our graduate nursing program at USL.” She describes the early challenges, resistance from some physicians, and the persistence required to establish the program. Dr. Neiheisel went back to school herself to become a family nurse practitioner, helping launch the nurse practitioner track and graduating the program's first students in 1995. “It wasn't long before the physicians were employing the nurse practitioners, and now they're employed in clinics and hospitals.” High Standards and Lasting Impact Addressing her reputation as a demanding instructor, Dr. Neiheisel reflects: “I guess I did have high expectations knowing that one day I was going to need their assistance, perhaps played a role in it.” She speaks with pride about her students' success and the responsibility of preparing nurses to be confident, capable, and compassionate professionals. The Evolution of Nursing From glass medicine cups and manual dosage calculations to electronic health records and patient portals, Dr. Neiheisel walks through six decades of change: “Technology has changed things in many ways… but we have lost some of that more personal touch.” She noted that nurse practitioners often help bridge that gap by spending more time with patients and answering their questions. Retirement — and Staying Connected Though she recently retired, Dr. Neiheisel emphasizes that she remains deeply connected to both nursing and the university: “It's not like a total separation. I'm still very proud of our university and my years there.” She continues part-time work at Faith House, attends concerts on campus, and remains engaged with the humanities and music communities. A Life of Civic and Cultural Service Dr. Neiheisel reflects on decades of civic involvement, including United Way of Acadiana, Rotary Club of Lafayette, the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana, Acadiana Center for the Arts, Zonta International, Foundation for Wellness, and the Lafayette Public Library Foundation. Of all her commitments, she says simply: “Faith House is my love.” She shares candidly about learning the realities of domestic violence, supporting women and children, fundraising for shelter operations, and recognizing community leaders through the Mary B. Neiheisel Patron of Hope Award. Named in honor of Dr. Mary B. Neiheisel, the award celebrates those who have gone above and beyond in their support of Faith House and its mission. Each year, the Patron of Hope Award will be presented to an individual who mirrors Dr. Neiheisel's enduring passion for advocacy, service, and hope, Teaching, Challenges, and Why She Stayed On the most rewarding part of teaching: “Meeting students is a blessing, watching them learn. That ‘aha' moment is just so rewarding.” On the greatest challenge of teaching: “Keeping up. It seems like it's changing every five minutes.” And on why she chose to build her life in Lafayette: “The people. The atmosphere, the culture. I feel like I have several Louisiana families.” Life Beyond the Classroom In closing, Dr. Neiheisel shared her love of music, reading, travel, and the arts, along with a lighthearted story about an unsuccessful tomato garden that led her to grow zinnias instead. She speaks fondly of trips to Colorado, visiting her grandchild in Boston, and appreciating both travel and home.

Season 5, Episode 703: Dive into an exhilarating conversation with the multi-talented Reagan Fox, an award-nominated actress and passionate advocate for mental health in the adult industry. In this episode, we explore Reagan's journey from a shy individual to a celebrated performer, discussing her impressive nominations for Best Actress and her role as an ambassador for Pineapple Support, an organization dedicated to providing mental health resources for adult performers. Reagan shares her experiences navigating the complexities of the adult film industry, including the challenges of being shadow banned and the importance of authenticity in her performances. We delve into her thoughts on ageism in the industry, her personal growth, and how she balances her career with her role as a mother. With candid discussions about the stigma surrounding sexuality and the role of sex toys in personal empowerment, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration. Join us as we celebrate Reagan's achievements, her passion for acting, and her commitment to supporting fellow performers. This is a conversation you won't want to miss! Highlights:  You're the fourth performer to ever get two best actress nominations The award season for both XMA and AVN starts in January How did you get into camming? Was it a surprise to you Started at such a later age You want that genuine feel when you're acting, right What are your favorite scenes to film? You know, it's kind of interesting Do you feel like you putting your content out there is a challenge You are an ambassador for Pineapple Support, an anti-suicide and mental health organization X Biz Business Executive Award Is there anything you've done that you kind of regret? Do you enjoy doing the scenes or does it feel more like work? So are you a sex toy fan and do you have a favorite? People who are disabled can use sex toys, right? Yes. People, no people, should not feel ashamed of buying them, they are simply tools Do you have anything coming up beyond the awards season? Do you find where you have to work a ton or you can be selective? Do you feel like you've got a good base of content? Do you do a workout plan to keep yourself the way you want to be? What are some hobbies that you have that people may not know? We've just had a cold snap here. Yeah, it's cold. So we like, we're below zero... Do you have anything fun you do for Christmas that you'd like to share? Do you get recognized a lot when you're out and about? Where can people find you if they want to find your content? Instagram Reaganfoxx, on X The Reagan Foxx? Are you going to completely be done doing this and retire? Key takeaways: • Reagan entered adult entertainment through camming after her family's appraisal business collapsed during the 2008 housing crisis—a career pivot driven by economic necessity rather than long-term ambition. • She intentionally avoids rewatching her own performances to preserve authenticity in acting and maintain psychological distance from her work. • Social media platforms selectively censor sexual education content from adult performers and other educators while permitting other provocative material in ads for businesses, creating inconsistent standards that Reagan and Ruan both view as highyly hypocritical, biased, and unfair, and violating the First Amendment right to free speech in the US.

What can bear hunting in rural Pennsylvania teach us about American politics? Michael speaks with Washington Post columnist and bestselling author Salena Zito about her immersive reporting from a Pennsylvania bear camp — a place where Democrats, Republicans, and independents come together without arguing politics. Zito explains why most Americans are far less politically obsessed than social media suggests, how community and tradition shape voter behavior, and why Pennsylvania remains the most misunderstood — and decisive — state in national elections.

This is not a typical Gnar Couch episode. Tonight, the boys focused on Jaxson Riddle's real story and the challenges he's faced early in life, many of which mirror struggles listeners have shared privately with the hosts over the years. After watching Buried Alive, the importance of hearing directly from him felt immediate. The conversation went deeper than riding, touching on mental health, personal setbacks, and the work of building something better out of difficult experiences. The boys also opened up about their own struggles, making this episode less about bikes and more about honesty, perspective, and reminding listeners that they aren't alone even when it feels that way. As always, we remain available to the community we've built. Your continued support reinforces that this show has become more than just a podcast about bikes and questionable decisions.

Kelsi also talks about her high-energy live shows, her infamous “shots and squats” pre-show ritual, performing marathon sets at the Calgary Stampede, and what fans can expect as she looks ahead to 2026.Jonathan's Drinking: Penelope Rio

Welcome to Episode 124 of Tablesetters, and today's conversation goes well beyond wins, losses, and box scores. We're joined by Dominic Leone, a former Major League reliever who pitched professionally from 2012 through 2024, navigating more than a decade inside big league clubhouses during one of the most transformative periods in modern baseball. His career unfolded during the rise of Statcast driven evaluation, the reshaping of bullpen usage, and an era where flexibility, churn, and uncertainty became defining features of roster construction. Leone's path was never linear, requiring constant adjustment just to remain employed in a role where reliability and replaceability are often separated by a handful of outcomes. What makes this episode different and necessary is Leone's willingness to speak openly about the human cost of that reality. Since stepping away from the game, he has been candid about mental health, identity, fatherhood, and the emotional weight of building a career without long term security. From going undrafted out of high school to earning trust at Clemson in a postseason elimination game that sent the Tigers to the College World Series, from adapting through injury to teaching himself a cutter by studying Mariano Rivera simply to survive, Leone's story is defined by self direction, resilience, and constant reinvention. Across this conversation, we explore when mental health stopped being background noise and became something requiring intentional care, the invisible strain of bullpen life and living year to year without certainty, and the routines and personal rituals that helped him stay grounded during the season. We talk about baseball as identity and what happens when that identity begins to loosen, how fatherhood reshaped his relationship with pressure and failure, and why he ultimately chose to speak publicly about mental health and life after baseball when those conversations were rarely normalized inside clubhouses. We also dig into the razor thin margins that define relief pitching, the emotional reality of modern free agency, and how bullpen roles have fundamentally changed as teams prioritize depth, flexibility, and short term solutions. Leone offers perspective on clubhouse culture and whether winning creates chemistry or chemistry enables winning, what fans often misunderstand about the waiting and uncertainty of free agency, and what looming 2026 labor uncertainty means for players without guaranteed security. He reflects on what it is like to step away from a world where every pitch is tracked and judged, and what he understands now about baseball's structure, culture, and economics that simply was not visible while living inside it day to day. We close by looking ahead, what Leone is focused on now, where listeners can follow and support what he is building, his favorite offseason signing, and a lighter moment as he reflects on the one strikeout that still stands out above all others. It is one of our most thoughtful and human conversations yet, a reminder that baseball careers are not just built on talent, but on adaptability, mental endurance, and the ability to redefine yourself when the game eventually moves on.

This is the conclusion to our interview with Heather—a woman whose childhood was shaped by the shadows of crime and loss. Her father was incarcerated for murder, and her beloved mother battled alcoholism until it claimed her life. Left to navigate a world of instability and stigma, Heather faced choices that could have easily led her down a darker path. But this is not a story of defeat. It's a story of resilience. Heather opens up about what it's like to grow up on the "other side" of a crime—not as the perpetrator or the victim, but as the child left behind. She shares how grief, shame, and survival shaped her early years, and how she ultimately forged a new identity rooted in strength, compassion, and purpose. Today, Heather is a thriving, successful member of society, and her journey offers a rare glimpse into the long-term ripple effects of incarceration—and the power of healing.

At this time of year, it can start to feel like time is speeding up. The holidays are here already? It's almost the end of 2025? Didn't the year just begin?! In a culture that begins celebrating Christmas before trick-or-treaters have even begun knocking on doors, this sense of rush and speed is amplified at every turn. In today's episode, we are exploring the question: how do we slow down time? How do we shift our relationship to time, enter into deeper presence and flow, and savor all that we have--the present moment?

At a time when the superstructures of modern civilization seem terminally messed up, the authors of 'Relationality: An Emergent Politics of Life Beyond the Human' argue that we must start a new conversation about the nature of being and modern myths of the self. Anthropologist Arturo Escobar, cultural studies scholar Michal Osterweil, and biologist Kriti Sharma draw on a diversity of sources – evolutionary science, cultural studies, art and poetry, Indigenous practices, wisdom traditions, and more – to explain the deep interdependence of all living beings: a perspective can help us develop a new political economy and culture.

Fr. Mike focuses on the powerful theme that connects all of our readings today- the reality of life beyond death. In the story of the martyrdom of the seven brothers in 2 Macabees, we see how the brothers and their mother fiercely reject the temptation to violate God's law, and boldly hold onto their hope in the resurrection of the dead. Our readings from Wisdom also remind us that death is not the end, because we know that eternal life is waiting for us beyond death. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 7, Wisdom 3-4, and Proverbs 24:27-29. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

What if your mental struggle isn't a personal failure, but a logical reaction to a broken society?This week on A Mental Health Break, we are joined by poet, playwright, Yale graduate, and cultural critic D.C. Copeland, author of the forthcoming book, Societal Dropout: A Culture Manifesto for the New Millennium. D.C. brings a unique, potent voice to the show, leveraging the philosophy of Jung, Freud, and Nietzsche to dissect our modern anxieties.In this profound and provocative discussion, we dive deep into:The Societal Roots of Illness: We tackle the core question: How do we fundamentally remove the negative stigmatization about mental illness by shifting the focus from individual flaw to systemic failure?The Millennial Divide: D.C. offers a compelling analysis of the generation caught between extremes—why are Millennials either doing incredibly well or struggling with housing insecurity, and what does this financial anxiety do to their mental health?Gender and Constraint: We dissect a powerful quote from D.C.'s book: "My experience of the feminine is one of deep pain and glorious power." We explore how rigid gender constraints limit not only art, but the soul, and why finding power requires creating outside those boundaries.Life Beyond the Line: D.C. defines what "dropping out of society" truly means—is it a physical exit, or a necessary philosophical break to protect your well-being?If you've ever felt that you don't fit into the demands of modern life, this episode is your permission slip to rethink the system and prioritize your own mental freedom.Find D.C.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, confronts one of the hardest truths in the first responder culture: admitting when you're burned out (Amazon Affiliate) feels impossible. For police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and military professionals, the job demands strength, endurance, and resilience. But behind the uniform, countless responders are silently suffering under the weight of burnout. The stigma around asking for help and the fear of being seen as weak often keep these struggles hidden until they become overwhelming. We'll explore why it's so difficult to say “I can't do this,” how burnout shows up in everyday life, and what can be done to recognize it and recover before it takes too heavy a toll. 5 Examples of Burnout in First Responders Emotional Numbness on and off Duty Calls that once stirred compassion now feel routine, leaving you detached from others and yourself. Irritability and Short Temper at Home The smallest frustrations turn into arguments, often spilling onto your spouse or kids. Chronic Fatigue Despite “Enough” Sleep No amount of rest seems to recharge your body or mind. Loss of Motivation or Purpose What once felt like a calling now feels like just another grind you're trying to survive. Isolation From Family and Peers Pulling away from relationships to avoid having to explain or reveal how much you're struggling. 5 Ways to Combat Burnout Normalize the Conversation Start talking about burnout openly—especially with peers—so it's no longer taboo to admit. Build Decompression Routines Create post-shift rituals that help your mind and body leave the job at the door. Use Professional and Peer Resources Counselors, chaplains, and peer support teams exist to provide culturally competent care. Reconnect With Your “Why” Revisit the reason you started serving in the first place—it can reignite purpose when the job feels endless. Invest in Life Beyond the Badge Hobbies, fitness, friendships, faith, and family are anchors that remind you of who you are outside of work.

In this episode of The Widow Podcast, I'm joined by Debbie Dawson, mentor, retreat supporter and treasured community member, to talk about life beyond loss and what it truly means to live fully again after grief. Debbie shares her widow journey from joining the community in 2020, two and a half years after losing her husband suddenly in 2018, to where she is now, seven years on and living with a sense of freedom, purpose and excitement about the future she never thought possible. We explore how the shift from grief work to life work happened through Vibrant Living and the transformative Rise and Renew retreat, and why discovering hidden parts of yourself after loss can be both surprising and liberating. We discuss: The transition from surviving to thriving and living fully after widowhood How Vibrant Living and Rise and Renew created profound shifts in healing Discovering that it's a new connection with yourself, not just reconnection Moving from "second best life" to "my best life" as a widow Living with conscious intent and presence after losing your partner Why grief and life journeys become intertwined rather than separate The power of widow community, energy and being under one roof Finding permission to live without fear of the future Building trust in your inner compass after loss Creating a legacy you're proud of It's an uplifting conversation about transformation, self-discovery, rebuilding after loss, and the beautiful truth that anything is possible when you're ready to do the work.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, shines a light on the invisible battles first responders fight every single day. Behind the badge (Amazon Affiliate), the turnout gear, or the radio call sign, there are struggles that few outside the profession will ever understand. We uncover the unseen weight responders carry, share real-world examples of these hidden battles, and outline practical ways to begin combatting them—both for yourself and for those you care about. 5 Examples of Hidden Battles Emotional Exhaustion Behind the Uniform On the surface, responders look calm and in control, but inside they're depleted from constant exposure to trauma. Hyper-Vigilance That Never Turns Off Even at home, the nervous system remains in “on duty” mode—always scanning for threats, never able to relax. Strained Family Dynamics Missed holidays, canceled plans, and emotional distance leave spouses and kids carrying the quiet cost of service. Silent Struggles with Substance Use Alcohol or overuse of stimulants can become a coping mechanism that's never discussed but deeply damaging. Identity Tied Only to the Job When all worth is measured by performance in uniform, retirement or injury can feel like the end of self. 5 Ways to Combat These Battles Build Transition Rituals Between Work and Home Simple practices like changing clothes, prayer, or a short walk can signal your body to shift gears. Prioritize Open Communication With Family Explain what you're going through in a way your loved ones can understand—silence breeds distance. Replace Destructive Coping Mechanisms With Healthy Outlets Channel stress into fitness, hobbies, or peer groups instead of relying on substances. Seek Peer and Professional Support Talking with others who understand the culture—or therapists who specialize in trauma—prevents isolation. Develop a Life Beyond the Badge Hobbies, friendships, faith, and personal growth remind you that your identity is bigger than your role.

Finding clarity around what you want is essential, because it guides every decision in your work and in your life. When you design your business or career to fit you, it opens the door to sustainable success and gives you the freedom to create your life around what matters most.In this episode, you'll hear from Holly Haynes, host of the Crush the Rush podcast. Holly shares her story of leaving her corporate job, starting her own business, and committing to creating the quality of life she wanted. Her journey is a real-life example of what life mastery is all about–not having everything perfectly aligned or knowing every step, but embracing the realness, authenticity, and messiness of leaning in to create your life according to your values.Even if you aren't a business owner, you most likely understand the pressure to “do all of the things” in order to succeed. Too many of us end up spread thin and exhausted when we follow that path. Holly Haynes' Anti-Social School and her approach to helping clients grow in a way that feels authentic to them—and the life they want to create—is the key to sustainable success.Allowing yourself to be curious about what lights you up–what you love to do and what would work for you–is the real secret to business growth without burnout. However, the paramount principle is that in order to get curious, you must allow yourself the space and rest you need to access your greatest creativity. Our instinct is often to push harder and do more when we want to make a change in our business or life, but that doesn't lead to the sustainable success and balance we want to create in our lives. Today, we'll talk about how you can challenge yourself to reclaim the time, energy, and space that you want.You can have the quality of life you desire, so give yourself permission and trust yourself to create it. The gifts and abilities you have matter, and when you allow them the space to grow, they will shine. Let's get started!What you'll learn:Why the greatest reward in business often isn't financial, but the freedom to be with the people you love and live on your termsHow to grow your business without using marketing tactics that don't align with your valuesWhy you're not alone when you face challenges on the path to sustainable successHow taking time off can benefit your business and help you create your life the way you wantHow to make your business better for clients without sacrificing your life or wellbeingYou can read the full show notes here.About Holly HaynesHolly Haynes empowers female entrepreneurs to build thriving, scalable businesses without getting lost in the ever-changing social media algorithms.

Chance encounters can create the most powerful connections. When the Quadfather met Sabeeh at the Abilities Expo in Schaumburg, their shared experience as ventilator users instantly created a bond that transcends the typical podcast conversation."We've got stories to tell," says the Quadfather early in their exchange—and indeed they do. Sabeeh, at 35, reveals her lifelong journey with a rare genetic condition called PAX7 gene, a form of congenital myopathy that has required ventilator support since she was just three years old. Meanwhile, the Quadfather shares his own path to ventilator use following a military car accident nearly a decade ago. Despite these different origins, they discover immediate common ground in using the same LTV ventilator model, both expressing the same fear about switching to newer technology.What makes this conversation remarkable isn't just their medical similarities but the glimpse into everyday life as ventilator users. From the practical challenges of attending a Taylor Swift concert (complete with portable generators for medical equipment) to finding joy through online shopping during difficult days, Sabeeh and the Quadfather demonstrate that disability is just one facet of their full, complex lives.
