Transcript:Ca: El sol matinal entrava per la finestra de l'habitació d'hospital, il·luminant el rostre cansat però ple d'amor de la Laia.En: The morning sun streamed through the window of the hospital room, illuminating the weary but loving face of Laia.Ca: Al seu costat hi havia Marc, el seu germà petit, estirat en un llit blanquinós.En: Beside her was Marc, her younger brother, lying on a pale bed.Ca: Feia poc que havia passat per una operació complicada, i ara s'enfrontava al llarg camí de la recuperació.En: He had recently undergone a complicated surgery and was now facing the long road

What happens when a diagnosis labeled "lethal" doesn't tell the full story? In this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital, Katie Taylor sits down with Nicole, a mom of five, who shares her daughter Charlotte's journey with Trisomy 13—a diagnosis often associated with limited survival and quality of life. After receiving devastating news over the phone while at work, Nicole and her husband were told their daughter likely wouldn't survive. But instead of accepting that narrative, they sought out information, second opinions, and a care team willing to partner with them. From navigating medical bias and a complicated NICU stay to bringing Charlotte home without nursing support, Nicole shares what it really looks like to parent a medically complex child—and the joy that exists alongside the challenges. This conversation highlights the importance of advocacy, informed decision-making, and viewing each child as an individual—not just a diagnosis. You'll hear: What it was like to receive a Trisomy 13 diagnosis unexpectedly and over the phone How Nicole and her husband navigated conflicting medical opinions and bias The critical role of second opinions and finding the right care team What life looks like caring for a child with a trach, ventilator, and G-tube How siblings adjusted and built meaningful relationships with Charlotte The reality of parenting without in-home nursing support Why quality of life is often misunderstood—and deeply personal This is a story of advocacy, resilience, and redefining what's possible What You'll Learn in This Episode What Trisomy 13 is and how it can present differently in every child Why it's important to ask questions and advocate within the healthcare system How medical bias can impact care decisions—and how to navigate it The value of support groups and connecting with other families What daily life can look like for families of medically complex children How siblings adapt and grow in families with high medical needs Why "quality of life" is subjective and should center the family's perspective Key Takeaway A diagnosis does not define a child's life—and when families are given the space, support, and information to make informed decisions, they can create a path filled with joy, connection, and meaning.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: A New Dawn: Love, Hope, and Healing by the Danube Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-03-21-22-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Tavaszi napsütés ragyogott Budapest fölött.En: Spring sunshine shone over Budapest.Hu: A kávézó, ahol Ágnes és István ültek, pont a Duna partján helyezkedett el.En: The café where Ágnes and István sat was located right by the Danube.Hu: Finom virágillat szállt az ablakokon át, a macskaköves utcáról pedig beszűrődött a város zaja.En: A pleasant floral scent drifted in through the windows, and the noise of the city filtered in from the cobblestone street.Hu: A kávézó meleg légkörével, sütemények és friss kávé illatával szinte átölelte az odatérő vendégeket.En: The café, with its warm atmosphere, the aroma of pastries, and fresh coffee, almost embraced the guests who came there.Hu: Ágnes fekete kávét kortyolgatott.En: Ágnes was sipping her black coffee.Hu: Jó kedve volt, mert imádta a tavaszt és a nyüzsgő Budapestet.En: She was in a good mood because she adored spring and bustling Budapest.Hu: István vele szemben ült, teával a kezében.En: István sat opposite her, holding a cup of tea.Hu: Míg az emberek jöttek-mentek az utcán, ő Ágnesre figyelt.En: While people came and went on the street, he was focused on Ágnes.Hu: Látta, hogy valami nincs rendben.En: He could see that something was not right.Hu: Ágnes arcára nézve érzékelte a halovány fájdalmat, amit próbált elrejteni.En: Looking at Ágnes's face, he sensed a faint pain she was trying to hide.Hu: „Ágnes, kérlek, gondolj a vizsgálatra” – kezdte István lágy hangon.En: "Ágnes, please, think about the examination," István began softly.Hu: Ágnes halványan elmosolyodott, eltakarva a kétségeit.En: Ágnes smiled faintly, masking her doubts.Hu: „Istikém, minden rendben. Túl szép ez a nap ahhoz, hogy aggódjunk” – próbálta elterelni a figyelmet, apró kortyokat véve a poharából.En: "My dear Istikém, everything is fine. This day is too beautiful to worry," she tried to divert attention, taking small sips from her cup.Hu: István nem hagyta ennyiben.En: István wasn't going to let it go.Hu: „Értsd meg, nagybátyám is hasonló tüneteket tapasztalt, és későn ment orvoshoz. Ne kockáztass, kérlek.”En: "Understand, my uncle experienced similar symptoms and went to the doctor too late. Please, don't take chances."Hu: „Tudom, aggódsz értem, de semmi komoly nincs.” Ágnes tekintete még mindig a Dunát pásztázta, de belül elkezdett gyötrődni.En: "I know you worry about me, but there's nothing serious," Ágnes said, her gaze still scanning the Danube, but internally she began to be tormented.Hu: Hirtelen éles fájdalom hasított át a mellkasán.En: Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her chest.Hu: Arca elfehéredett, és keze remegni kezdett.En: Her face turned pale, and her hand started trembling.Hu: „Ágnes!” István már a székéből felpattant, kezével megfogva Ágnesét.En: "Ágnes!" István leapt from his chair, grabbing her hand.Hu: Ez a pillanat más volt.En: This moment was different.Hu: Ez a fájdalom félelmet ébresztett benne.En: This pain sparked fear in him.Hu: Ágnes remegő lélegzettel jött vissza a valóságba.En: With trembling breaths, Ágnes returned to reality.Hu: „Talán igazad van, István. Kérlek, segíts.”En: "Perhaps you're right, István. Please, help me."Hu: István felsegítette Ágnest az asztaltól.En: István helped Ágnes up from the table.Hu: Az utcán tavasszal teli világ állt előttük.En: Outside, a world filled with spring lay before them.Hu: Ahogy kiléptek a kávézóból, Ágnes István karjára támaszkodett.En: As they stepped out of the café, Ágnes leaned on István's arm.Hu: Útjuk az orvoshoz már nem a félelemtől, hanem a reménytől vezéreltetett.En: Their journey to the doctor was no longer driven by fear, but by hope.Hu: Rájött, hogy az élet szép, de csak akkor élvezhető igazán, ha egészségesen élheti meg.En: She realized that life is beautiful but can only be truly enjoyed if one lives it healthily.Hu: István mellett sétálva rájött, hogy nem szégyen segítséget kérni, és elfogadni azt, amit valójában szükségszerű.En: Walking beside István, she understood that there is no shame in asking for help and accepting what is necessary.Hu: A Duna partján a kávézó hátramaradt, de számukra ez a pillanat új kezdetet jelentett.En: The café on the Danube's shore was left behind, but for them, this moment signified a new beginning.Hu: Együtt folytatták az utat, új reményekkel és megerősített barátsággal.En: They continued their journey together, with new hopes and a strengthened friendship.Hu: A tavasz továbbra is az új élet szimbóluma volt, és aznap Ágnes újra kezdte saját útját.En: Spring remained a symbol of new life, and that day, Ágnes began her own journey anew.

Amanda Kramer's By Design is far more than "the movie where Juliette Lewis turns into a chair".It's a surreal slice of cultural critique that looks at frivolous spending, shallow friendships, and the dark side of female friendships. In this brief interview, Ian talks with Kramer about casting 90s rebel icons as people their characters would have despised; finding a new angle on "wish" movies; and working with the great Udo Kier in one of his final roles!By Design opens in theaters this Friday, courtesy of Music Box Films.Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the By Design (2026) trailer.Read Ian's By Design review at Kicking the Seat!In Chicago?

In this episode of PeaceCast, NJN's Maxxe Albert-Deitch is joined by author, internationally renowned human rights lawyer, and longtime activist Sari Bashi to discuss the new English translation of her book Upside-Down Love, originally published in Hebrew in 2021.  Told in alternating chapters by both Sari and Osama (a pseudonym), Upside-Down Love is a moving portrait of two ordinary people falling in love and navigating the regular pitfalls of a relationship, set against an extraordinary backdrop of the West Bank. The pair met when Sari represented Osama in petitions to Israel's Supreme Court to allow him to pursue his education overseas. Their story offers a new lens on current events in Israel-Palestine—experiencing the conflict in their day to day lives, raising their children, and coping with constant threats to themselves, their families, and loved ones. Osama and Sari's star-crossed romance—an intimate, vulnerable portrait of an astoundingly resilient Israeli-Palestinian relationship—has since become a beacon of hope in the aftermath of October 7, 2023. Now on its way to becoming an international sensation, Upside-Down Love speaks to the unique circumstances of this specific moment in history, while also illustrating a timeless truth: Love will triumph over bigotry and destruction.

Faith Love Hope JesusPreacher:Sermon by Louis GlazebrookThis January we're working through the book of Colossians together. It helps us see who Jesus is and what it looks like to live with Him at the centre of everything.Find out more at cityonahill.com.au/surfcoast

Few of us would say that our lives look exactly the way we want them to (especially in this complicated season of the year!). So in today's sermon we'll consider the Christmas story through the eyes of someone who can definitely relate. And we'll discover that it's precisely in the difficult, messy imperfections that God's love meets and transforms us.  Scripture Reading: Matthew 1:18-25 Share: Know someone who needs this message right now?

Debbie Griggs, a gifted psychic and intuitive healer, shares her profound understanding of the unseen energies that shape human life. In our conversation, she reveals how many of our struggles stem from carrying stories and emotions that aren't truly ours—ancestral pain, inherited fears, and collective doubt. Through her near-death experiences, she came to understand that the soul vibrates at the frequency of joy, far beyond the density of fear or worry.Debbie speaks of the sacred “is” space—a state of pure presence where judgment dissolves, and life simply unfolds in harmony. Guided by divine forces such as Our Lady of Guadalupe, she teaches that compassion, blessing, and awareness can transform even the heaviest energy into light. Her message is both spiritual and practical: love is not a lofty ideal but a daily practice of self-awareness and service. She reminds us that blessing others, even those who challenge us, creates ripples of healing that uplift the collective. Debbie believes that each person carries a divine purpose—whether grand or seemingly small—and that living in gratitude connects us to the rhythm of creation itself. Her gentle wisdom invites us to release what isn't ours, embrace what is, and remember that we are all participants in a vast and sacred design.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Have you ever noticed how some of the most sacred words of our faith love, hope, and joy have been hijacked by our culture? They show up on coffee mugs, t-shirts, and Instagram captions, but somewhere along the way, their true, life-changing meaning got watered down. In this episode, we dive deeper into these three words, peeling back layers of cultural noise to rediscover their biblical and Catholic roots. Through Scripture, Church teaching, and the wisdom of the saints, I show you how these virtues aren't fluffy slogans, but anchors that can sustain Catholic women especially in midlife through seasons of change, loss, and new beginnings. ✨ What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why love is more than just an emotion or consumer slogan it's a choice, a sacrifice, and the very nature of God Himself. The four kinds of love in Scripture (eros, philia, storge, agape) and how they shape your relationships. How to recognize when “hope” has been reduced to wishful thinking and reclaim it as an anchor in Christ. Why joy is not the same as happiness, and how the saints teach us to rejoice even in suffering. Practical ways to bring these virtues into your daily life as a Catholic woman navigating midlife transitions. Jennie Guinn is a Catholic life coach, retreat leader, and founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle. With over 26 years of experience as an educator, administrator, and Director of Religious Education, she is passionate about walking with midlife women through life's transitions—especially those that come from unexpected changes in relationships, identity, or purpose. A devoted mother of three grown sons and proud grandmother of two, Jennie creates sacred spaces where women can encounter the love of the Father, be transformed by the Holy Spirit, so they can magnify Christ in their everyday lives. Jennie is the host of the Catholic Moms in the Middle podcast and a featured voice on Nashville Catholic Radio and Radio Maria USA, where she shares encouragement and faith-filled wisdom with women navigating the twists and turns of midlife.

Ben Fike Faith, Love, Hope at Work (2025)

Faith, hope and love are often described as virtues, a series of behaviors we develop over time with practice. While that's true, it's easy then to miss what Paul has to say about them here in this verse. All three of these are precious gifts. Specifically, their God's gifts to you and me. And while they're connected, each one of them is unique. Last Monday we talked about faith. Today, let's take a closer look at hope.

Today's classic episode is, Faith, Love, Hope. The Apostle Paul writes to the early church in Colosse to deal with the problem of holding on to old beliefs, rituals, superstitions and false perceptions. Or even worse, a corruption of the pure seed of the gospel truth about Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul through his pastoral heart, brings a timely reminder. As you listen be blessed, empowered and transformed in Jesus name.Send us a textFor more information and free resources visit our website jesuslovestheworld.info Also connect with us in discipleship, watch our videos, follow us on facebook or send us an email

Faith, Love, Hope | OVERSEERS SUNDAY | Pastor Jeff Wells by Joy Church Eugene

The Rustic Signal has been lit! Although this episode is being released later than we'd hoped (although if we're reviewing a time travel movie, maybe our delays don't count this time around?), we're very excited for everyone to check out our discussion of the latest release from Rustic Films: THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT (2024). And even better, we're so delighted to be joined by the movie's writer/director Michael Felker for a special interview! We had a truly fabulous time chatting with Michael about the movie, his work on previous Rustic Films features, and much more (and probably more JCVD than any of us anticipated). We can't thank him enough for his time, and we really hope everyone enjoys the episode! If you haven't seen the movie yet, as of this episode's release it's currently streaming on all major VOD platforms, with more details available here: www.magnetreleasing.com/thingswillbedifferent/watch-at-home/ For more information on Michael Felker and Last Life Films, you can visit: www.lastlifefilms.com/ As mentioned in the episode, if you have some funds to spare, we'd greatly appreciate it if you could consider donating to the GoFundMe to help Ben Mekler and his family out after their home was lost in the Eaton Fire: www.gofundme.com/f/ben-and-kirby-lost-everything-in-the-eaton-fire/ If you'd like to follow us on social media, you can visit our Linktree page (linked below) but we've also listed some of our social media handles: Linktree: linktr.ee/scarystuff Official site: scarystuffpodcast.com Twitter: @scarystuffpod Instagram: @scarystuffpodcast Letterboxd: @scarystuffpod Incredibly Niche Merch: teepublic.com/user/scary-stuff-podcast You can find a list of all the previous movies we've reviewed and their corresponding episodes (via the "Read Notes" option) here: www.letterboxd.com/scarystuffpod/list/all-reviews-scary-stuff-podcast/ And as always, thanks so much for listening!

Who's up for an exhale? We have a little gift for you at the end of the year - in this mini episode, we're reflecting on the gentle guidance and wisdom from past guests - beautiful reminders of the uniqueness of our journeys, and the profound impact of allowing the hard stuff in life to sit right there alongside adventure, love, and joy. Sometimes hope is simply the belief in possibilities—and there is always the possibility for new beginnings. As we head out of the holiday bustle and into the freshness of a new year, we hope you can take a few minutes to pause and reflect. Enjoy!

The most heartwarming connections can lead to impactful movements. Today is all about serendipity, strength, and solidarity. Joining me today is Maria Kent Beers, the co-founder of Remember Me and the Remember Me podcast, along with Rachel Martinez. These two incredible women's paths crossed in the most extraordinary way: Rachel, from Los Angeles, a trained marriage and family therapist, and Maria, living in Boston, found each other while caregiving for their parents, both diagnosed with frontal temporal dementia (FTD). Today, our conversation focuses not only on the Remember Me community and podcast but also on how these remarkable women transformed their personal struggles into a beacon of hope and support for many from the early days of caregiving for their parents. From the launch of their podcast in the whirlwind of 2020 to their ongoing efforts to foster a community for FTD awareness, their story is as inspiring as it is enlightening. We explore the road to FTD diagnosis, reminisce about the times before, and embrace the good that emerges from life's toughest challenges. These women are on a mission to share stories, educate about symptoms, and raise FTD awareness. This is a story of love, grief, and the relentless pursuit of a future without FTD. Now, I have a new friend in Maria. Maria has a heart of gold, full of compassion, and I can't wait for all of you to hear her story, her insights, and to join their community, Remember Me.
