In this conversation, Phil and Tom Swales (Physiotherapist and strength coach) explore the intricacies of body movement, protection, and rehabilitation through the lens of the AMT (Advanced Movement Therapy) system. They discuss how adventure educators can better protect their bodies from the effects of repetitive strain due to movement such as belaying. Tom shares his personal journey of recovery from a severe illness, emphasizing the importance of foundational movement patterns and the body's ability to adapt and heal. The conversation highlights the necessity of teaching movement through experience and the value of lifelong learning in maintaining physical health.   The AMT system was developed to address personal challenges in physical therapy. Understanding the psychology and biology of movement is crucial for effective therapy. Assessment should focus on identifying the root causes of movement issues. Proactive approaches in therapy lead to better long-term outcomes. Teaching movement through experience enhances understanding and retention. Personal experiences can reinforce the principles of movement and recovery. Individualized care is essential for effective rehabilitation. The body has an innate ability to reorganize and heal itself with the right guidance. Complicated explanations can hinder understanding; simplicity is key. Lifelong learning and adaptation are vital for maintaining physical health.

Defender of the Faith – Vol. 1This study, Defender of the Faith, is designed to recognize and deprogram individuals from cults, including certain Christian-identifying groups. Rooted in John 8:32, the core message is that freedom comes from knowing and following the pure doctrine of Christ as revealed solely in Scripture. Any addition—man-made doctrines or extra-biblical revelations—creates "another gospel" and leads to deception.22 Signs of a CultBern identifies 22 characteristics common to cults, whether non-Christian, pseudo-Christian, or even within accepted denominations: Exclusive, unscriptural doctrines: Unique teachings not found in the Bible. Salvation by works: Grace is supplemented with human effort. Uncertain eternal future: Members lack assurance of salvation. Extra-biblical authority: Truth claimed from sources outside Scripture. Authoritarian leadership: Leaders assume roles meant for the Holy Spirit. False teachings accepted as truth. Syncretism: Mixing pagan elements with Christian worship. Scripture manipulation: Twisting verses to support specific beliefs. Mind control: Fear-based or doctrinal manipulation. Absurd lies taught as truth. Exploitation of members. Blind submission to human authority. Another gospel: A distorted salvation message. Religious spirit: Legalism disguised as holiness. Antichrist spirit: Denying Christ's true nature. Pharisaical spirit: Overemphasis on outward law. Jezebel spirit: Manipulative control. Control spirit: Excessive control over members' lives. Spirit of error: Leading others from biblical truth. Nicolaitanism: Clergy-layperson divide and domination. Fear-based control. Resistance to the Holy Spirit. Understanding Those in CultsTo effectively help someone out of a cult, it's essential to understand their mindset: Lack of "Sola Scriptura": They don't view Scripture as the final authority. Reliance on human interpretation: Trusting doctrines about God over God's word itself. Ingrained beliefs: Lifelong teachings make them resistant to new ideas. Deep investment: Their identity or career may be tied to the group. Tactics to avoid truth: They may redefine terms, dismiss Scripture, or claim subjective interpretation. Brainwashing: Indoctrination is gradual, persistent, and difficult to undo. Pre-programmed responses: Members are trained to deflect objections instinctively.

Adam Keen on his 25 years of yoga practice, sharing insights and lessons learned along the way. He discusses the importance of self-acceptance, the role of genetics in practice, and the significance of breathing. Adam emphasizes the need for balance in life, the value of strength training, and the importance of creating a safe space for students. He also explores the evolving meaning of yoga and the joy of letting go of postures as one progresses in their practice.

The sermon explores the enduring truth of God's goodness and mercy, drawing from Psalm 23 to illustrate a steadfast presence throughout life's journey, even amidst trials and uncertainties. It emphasizes that while individuals may experience fluctuating emotions and circumstances, God's character remains unchanged, acting as a constant source of comfort and provision. The message underscores the necessity of the Holy Spirit's influence to truly grasp and experience this divine grace, highlighting that God's goodness and mercy are not merely theological concepts but active companions that deliver from idols, supply every need, and ultimately guide believers into eternal glory.

What begins with two teens wearing the same red-and-white striped hat becomes a 60-year story of friendship, rebellion, and synchronicity. In this episode, Dr. Beitman reconnects with his best friend from high school, Robert Warner, to trace the strange parallels in their lives—from co-presidency and bonfires to resistance movements and life-changing coincidences. It's a journey of shared purpose, mirrored actions, and the mysterious thread that keeps pulling them back together.Robert Warner is a retired reverend, longtime educator, and former political activist whose life took him from the student council presidency of a Delaware high school to the frontlines of antiwar resistance during the Vietnam era. A Princeton Theological Seminary graduate, Bob once burned down an ROTC building in protest and lived underground in Canada for three years, raising a family while evading the FBI. Later, he ran a successful chimney sweep business for 37 years. Bob's enduring friendship with Bernie Beitman was forged through a chance synchronicity in high school—their matching red-and-white striped hats—and has grown stronger over more than six decades of parallel and intersecting journeys.Bernard D. Beitman, MD, is a Yale- and Stanford-educated psychiatrist and the founder of The Coincidence Project. He served as chair of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Missouri-Columbia and has authored two books, Connecting with Coincidence and Meaningful Coincidences. Through his Psychology Today blog, podcast, and public appearances, he has reached millions with his groundbreaking work in the emerging field of Coincidence Studies.

Lifelong musician and music fan talks about writing his own original tunes after overcoming a myriad of obstacles both personally and professionally.

Born in 1934, the 18th of 19 children in the small blue-collar town of Shawinigan Falls, Quebec, Jean Chrétien has risen to become the "grandfather of Canada" and a definitive force in global politics for over 50 years.   Chrétien was one of the longest-serving Prime Ministers in Canadian history and led three successive majority terms as leader of the Liberal Party from 1993 to 2003.   He famously said no to joining the US in the Iraq War (solidifying Canada's independence on foreign policy), signed the Kyoto Protocol (committing Canada to its first-ever international environmental agreement), established the Oceans Act (helping Canada become the first country to prioritize ocean health), creating the Clarity Act (to establish terms for secession movements after leading the 'No' side to victory in the 1995 Quebec Referendum), and leading Operation Yellow Ribbon which helped 40,000 Americans in the air and traveling through Canada on September 11, 2001 and beyond.   Let's put on a suit and tie and fly up to Ottawa, Canada to sit in the office of the 91-year-old leader—who still does meetings back-to-back three days a week!—and discuss the secrets of healthy living into your 90s... Canada on the global stage... how to get along with almost anyone... humility as a virtue... lessons from 63 years of marriage... thoughts on Alberta secession... the definition of liberal... how he said no to the Iraq war... and, of course, the Right Honorable Jean Chrétien's most formative books...   Huge thank you to Bob Wright, Bruce Hartley, and Monsieur Jean Chrétien for making this happen.   A rare and special conversation with a rare and special man.   Get ready to soak in so much wisdom.   Let's flip the page to Chapter 150 now...

What if the key to permanent fitness isn't found in extreme workouts or restrictive diets, but in understanding the psychology behind sustainable change?  After a decade coaching executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performers on health transformation, I've discovered that most people approach fitness backward, focusing on short-term tactics rather than building systems that last a lifetime.  This episode reveals the 7 evidence-based principles that determine whether you'll not only achieve your fitness goals but maintain them effortlessly for years to come.  We explore why exercise should never feel like punishment, how making your meals strategically "boring" can be your secret weapon, and why sleep may be the single most underrated factor in your transformation journey. You'll discover how to use behavioral science techniques like "if-then" planning to navigate challenging situations and learn why having specific strategies for your worst days matters more than what you do when motivation is high.  The truth is, in our current environment of endless choices and constant temptation, willpower alone is insufficient. By implementing these seven principles from environmental design to motivation clarity you'll build a comprehensive system that makes healthy choices automatic rather than exhausting.  Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or have been struggling with the same 10 pounds for years, these insights will transform how you approach health by working with your psychology instead of against it. The most sustainable changes don't feel like constant sacrifice but become integrated parts of a life you genuinely enjoy living.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIn the latest Fearless Female Leadership interview, I had the privilege of speaking with Kristyn Ramsey, Senior Director of Learning & Development at D.R. Horton, about the power of humility, resilience, and lifelong learning in shaping fearless leadership. Kristyn's story is a reminder that authentic leadership starts with embracing rejection, choosing growth, and empowering others through trust and perspective.Kristyn opened up about the early influence of her parents—her father's goal-setting rituals and her mother's example of managing both work and home life—that instilled a fierce work ethic and sense of vision. Her career was not without challenges. Twice rejected for roles she deeply wanted, she chose to learn and improve instead of stepping back. Her experience underscores a core truth: setbacks can shape the most powerful comebacks.Leading with humility, Kristyn says, is not about shrinking—it's about shifting focus from self to service. It's a mindset that drives ROI through trust, engagement, and a culture of continuous growth. She emphasized that humility, psychological safety, and authenticity are critical to building high-performing, resilient teams in today's evolving workplace.Kristyn also shared her journey from comfort to courage—leaving a 24-year career to re-ignite her learning and leadership path. Now, more than ever, she believes, leaders must embrace learning, build ecosystems of trust, and use their voices to advocate for themselves and others.Key takeaways from the interview:0:01:03 – Kristyn's dad taught her to set annual personal and academic goals, instilling a lifelong mindset of vision and accountability.0:02:45 – Early rejections in her career shaped her resilience and clarity—she chose to grow through feedback rather than be discouraged.0:05:21 – The turning point came when a mentor told her: “Do what's right, not what's popular”—a mantra she still lives by.0:07:14 – Humility is a business driver, not a weakness—it directly impacts engagement, attrition, and innovation.0:09:36 – Everyone brings a unique gift to the table; leaders should create space for those gifts to flourish.0:12:58 – Psychological safety is foundational—people won't be vulnerable or authentic if they don't feel safe.0:14:47 – Even aspiring leaders can create microcultures of trust and humility by initiating conversations and building strong peer ecosystems.0:18:37 – Lifelong learning is essential to stay relevant, especially in a fast-changing world shaped by AI and shifting expectations.0:23:54 – AI won't replace humans—but those who know how to use it will have a major edge.0:25:19 – Rejection is redirection; choose growth, surround yourself with trusted allies, and value every person's spark.If you're interested in being featured on the Fearless Female Leadership podcast, or you're a leader looking to gain clarity on ‘what's next', how to build more cohesive and high-performing teams, and lead with greater confidence and influence, let's have a confidential conversation.Cheering you on always! – Sheryl

BUFFALO, NY — July 8, 2025 — As populations worldwide continue to age, understanding the mechanisms and manifestations of cognitive aging is increasingly urgent for science, medicine, and society. Age-related cognitive decline ranges from mild memory lapses to the onset of dementia, and is shaped by a complex interplay of molecular, cellular, systemic, and social determinants. In this special collection, Aging (Aging-US) seeks to bring together cutting-edge research that spans the cellular and molecular underpinnings of cognitive aging with insights into the psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental factors that modulate its course. By integrating basic biology with translational and societal dimensions, this collection aims to foster a holistic understanding of how and why cognitive function changes with age—and what can be done to preserve it. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives across model systems and human studies, particularly those that promote interdisciplinary insights and translational potential. POTENTIAL TOPICS Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms -Senescence, inflammation, and neurodegeneration in cognitive decline -Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in aging neurons -Neurovascular aging and blood-brain barrier integrity -Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics of the aging brain -mTOR, autophagy, and proteostasis in age-related cognitive impairment -The role of glial cells (microglia, astrocytes) in brain aging Genetics and Biomarkers -Genetic risk factors and epigenetic modifications associated with cognitive aging -Biomarkers of cognitive resilience and vulnerability -Neuroimaging and fluid-based biomarkers in aging populations Interventions and Lifestyle Factors -Cognitive benefits of caloric restriction, exercise, or senolytic therapies -Preclinical and clinical trials targeting aging pathways to prevent cognitive decline -Impact of sleep, nutrition, and metabolic health on cognition in older adults -Use of cognitive strategies and compensatory techniques to maintain or enhance function in aging Environmental and Social Contexts -Impact of social isolation, education, and socioeconomic status on cognitive trajectories -Lifelong cognitive reserve and its determinants -Cross-cultural and demographic studies on aging and cognition -Digital health tools for monitoring or enhancing cognitive function in the elderly SUBMISSION DETAILS: -Submission Deadline: March 31, 2026 -Manuscript Format: Please follow the journal's submission guidelines -Peer Review: All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process -Submission Link: https://aging.msubmit.net/cgi-bin/main.plex To learn more about the journal, please visit our website at https://www.Aging-US.com​​ and connect with us on social media at: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AgingUS/ X - https://twitter.com/AgingJrnl Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/agingjrnl/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@AgingJournal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/aging/ Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/aging-us.bsky.social Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/AgingUS/ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1X4HQQgegjReaf6Mozn6Mc MEDIA@IMPACTJOURNALS.COM

In this insightful conversation, Michael Rearden challenges the limitations of traditional education systems and underscores the importance of lifelong learning and self-education. While schools lay the foundation for basic knowledge, they often fall short in preparing students with the real-world skills necessary for success. He advocates for taking control of your education through self-help resources, continuous learning, and understanding your learning style. He highlights the need for practical skills like financial literacy and critical thinking—skills often overlooked in standard curricula.If you're ready to take your education into your own hands and embrace the journey of lifelong learning, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways: ✅ Education is a lifelong journey, not confined to school years✅ The traditional school system often fails to prepare students for real life✅ Self-education is crucial for personal and professional growth✅ Understanding your learning style can enhance your education✅ Practical skills like financial literacy are essential but often neglected✅ Reading regularly is important for continuous learning✅ The curriculum should be supplemented with real-world experiences✅ Self-help resources can bridge the gap left by traditional education✅ Education should evolve with personal goals and circumstances✅ Lifelong learning is key to avoiding stagnation and promoting mental healthResources:

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with part two of our powerful conversation with Dr. Harold Koplewicz, President of the Child Mind Institute, and this one is packed with real tools every parent needs right now! In this episode, Dr. Koplewicz introduces his framework called “Scaffolding Parenting” and explains how it helps raise emotionally strong, self-regulating kids without hovering or over-fixing. He breaks down the difference between healthy support and helicoptering, and how to know when to step in (and when to let your child build resilience). We also get into the top questions every parent should be asking to emotionally check in with their kids, how to teach emotional literacy from preschool through the teen years, and why routines like family gratitude, reading time, and exercise are essential for mental wellness. These are tools every parent needs in their back pockets, whether your child is 3, 13, or 23!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Scaffolding parenting builds strength without overstepping. It's not about fixing—it's about supporting your child's natural growth, so they feel capable of handling life's challenges with confidence. Your routines are shaping their mental health. Family dinners, reading rituals, and screen-free zones help kids feel safe, connected, and emotionally anchored. Kids need a vocabulary for their feelings. Naming emotions helps children process them. The earlier they can say “I feel nervous” or “I feel proud,” the better they can self-regulate under stress.

Ready for an extraordinary tale of athletic longevity? At 73 years old Rick Colella's swimming journey spans from Olympic medals to over 50 Masters World records, proving that athletic excellence knows no age limits.Colella's remarkable career began with a fourth-place finish at the 1972 Munich Olympics, followed by a bronze medal in Montreal in 1976. But what happened after his Olympic glory makes his story truly exceptional. While most elite swimmers hang up their goggles after reaching competitive peaks, Colella never fully left the water. This consistent connection with swimming—even during his decades-long Boeing career—has become his secret weapon for sustained excellence into his 70s.Now competing in the 70-74 age group with Puget Sound Masters, Colella has rewritten the record books with over 120 national records and more than 50 world records. His training approach combines old-school discipline with modern technique refinements. Despite his Olympic pedigree, Colella humbly embraced coaching feedback that completely transformed his stroke mechanics later in life. "Your breaststroke timing is terrible," his coach bluntly told him—feedback that helped him adapt to modern techniques and continue breaking records.What drives someone to maintain such dedication for decades? Colella's answer is refreshingly simple: "I just love swimming. I guess I'm not even sure I recognize how much I like it, except that I must, because I never stopped doing it." This passion extends beyond personal achievement. After their son's diagnosis with FSHD muscular dystrophy, Rick and his wife Terry founded a research nonprofit, Friends of FSHD, that now raises nearly $1 million annually—connections he credits largely to his swimming network. The organization is all-volunteer.  We have no paid staff and our sponsors cover 100% of our operating and fundraising expenses. This means that 100% of donations to Friends goes directly to fund research. Rick Colella has emerged as a legendary figure in American swimming through his extraordinary Olympic career and record-breaking achievements in Masters swimming at age 70+.• Bronze medalist in the 1976 Montreal Olympics after finishing fourth in Munich in 1972• Set more than 120 Masters national records and over 50 world records• Trains six days a week with Puget Sound Masters at age 70+• Never fully stopped swimming after his Olympic career, maintaining consistency throughout his life• Found working with a coach after years of self-directed training revealed technique flaws that needed correction• Discovered that mental preparation and attitude significantly impact performance, even decades after Olympic competition• Co-founded Friends of FSHD Research with his wife after their son's muscular dystrophy diagnosis• Organization has grown from raising $180,000 in first year to nearly $1 million annually• Emphasizes consistency as the key to swimming success at any age• Enjoys the intergenerational aspects of Masters swimming and the supportive communityWhether you're seeking inspiration for your own athletic journey or curious about the mindset of champions, Colella's story demonstrates how passion, consistency, and community create a foundation for lifelong achievement.

235. Who do you consider a lifelong friend? Someone you've known for decades? A newer friend you feel deeply bonded to? In the final episode of The Heart of Friendship series—celebrating connection, sisterhood, and shared growth—I chat with my dear friend Michelle, who I've been friends with since we were 16, for a heartfelt, funny, and honest conversation about what it means to grow up and older together. We share behind-the-scenes stories from our wild days in our 20s (like lying to our moms and driving 27 hours from Minneapolis to New Orleans for Mardi Gras just to follow a boy), reflect on how we've changed (and stayed the same), and and talk candidly about navigating our 50s without children—making peace with that, and what it's meant for our lives and friendship. Through laughter, love, and deep appreciation, we explore what it really means to keep showing up for each other over decades. This one's for anyone who knows the beauty—and the sacredness—of a friendship that lasts a lifetime. ~ ~ > A new way to work with me!

A Lifelong Song of Service: John and Lou Ann MohlerJohn and Lou Ann Mohler's story began on the campus of Cedarville University, where a Michigan girl met an Ohio boy in concert chorale. What started with a warm February day, a convertible ride to the Indian Mound, and a first date filled with talk of old girlfriends (John's idea of charm, perhaps?) bloomed into a 46-year marriage built on shared faith, music, and ministry.After college, the Mohlers began their careers as teachers — John directing bands and orchestras and Lou Ann teaching English and drama. But as their hearts leaned more toward church ministry, God led them to Patterson Park Church in Dayton, Ohio. In 1985, John stepped into a pastoral role, and what began as a small church of about 200 has flourished under their leadership.For 40 years, John has faithfully directed worship, blending hymns with modern praise songs in a way that draws generations together. With a full choir and orchestra — a rarity these days — the Mohlers have crafted a worship experience that is both reverent and joyful.Their legacy isn't just in music or programs — it's in the people. From small groups to mission trips to Albania, from raising their children in the church to mentoring younger pastors, John and Lou Ann have cultivated community all their lives. Even as retirement nears, John continues to teach future worship leaders, ensuring that what he's helped build will endure.In a fast-moving world, the Mohlers have been a steady presence — faithful, humble, and full of grace. And for those at Patterson Park, their legacy is more than music — it's love lived out loud.Learn more about this couple's amazing journey on the Cedarville Stories podcast.https://share.transistor.fm/s/070bb0dahttps://youtu.be/CqDD4krljeE

What does true food freedom really look like—and why is it so hard to recognize when you're stuck in quasi-recovery? In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, I sit down with Dr. Lara Zibarras (@drlarazib), psychologist, eating disorder recovery coach, and the voice behind The Food Freedom Psychologist. Lara shares her powerful lived experience with bulimia, orthorexia, and the trap of “wellness culture” that masqueraded as health—but kept her stuck in restriction for years. Together, we explore the societal pressures that shape eating disorders across the lifespan, including postpartum body image expectations, the lure of perfectionism, and the explosion of weight stigma online. We also unpack how mindset shifts—like moving away from all-or-nothing thinking and embracing flexibility—can be a critical part of recovery. Whether you're healing from disordered eating, supporting a loved one, or questioning the messages you've received about your body, this episode offers real talk, compassion, and insight. ABOUT DR. LARA Dr. Lara Zibarras is a Psychologist and Eating Disorder Recovery Coach, a.k.a The Food Freedom Psychologist. After spending her 20s and 30s battling food anxieties and disordered eating, finding food freedom was life-changing. Now, Lara is on a mission to help women break free from chaotic, out-of-control eating patterns to feel confident around food and in their bodies.

Lifelong anarchist and digital nomad, Maxwell Igan, stops by to talk about letting go of trying to fit into society's expectations and instead finding a path that feels right for you. Breaking that conditioning and programming can be a lonely and scary endeavor, but the alternative of staying in the Matrix feels even worse. Even if you win the Rat Race, you are still a rat. With Anarchapulco 2024 right around the corner, Max describes the situation where a Category 5 hurricane sprang into existence literally overnight and slammed into the densely packed city of Acapulco almost exactly where his house was. It will take much more than a hurricane to dampen the spirits of the anarchist community in Mexico, and the 10th anniversary of the event will take on a much different meaning this time.
