Podcasts about making meaning

Summary/Guest Bio Leo Marrs is a visionary founder, writer, and brand architect helping world-builders create with purpose in the New Meaning Economy. Raised in the wilderness of Alaska and forever transformed by a consciousness-expanding experience at age 27, Leo blends ancient wisdom, systems thinking, and future-focused design into a practical framework he calls Evolution by Intelligent Design (ExID). His work guides creators to access deeper intelligence, navigate paradox, and make things that truly matter. Inside this episode: • What is the New Meaning Economy — and why does it matter now • Why being a “creator” today is more about making meaning than making things • How trauma, systems, and consciousness intersect in creative expression • Why legacy is rooted in impact, not visibility • A visionary look at how to bridge the spiritual and structural in your life's work This conversation is a call to the conscious creators — to shift from production to presence, and from output to meaningful impact.

Evidence-based psychotherapies for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), such as Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy, are the best tools we have to treat PTSD for most people–at least as long as those in need are able to access these therapies. A number of barriers may exist, such as availability of trained therapists, insurance coverage (or lack thereof), or even life stressors standing in the way. During the COVID-19 pandemic, trauma exposure exploded exponentially while at the same time access to care due to lockdowns and social distancing was severely diminished. In this episode of Practical for Your Practice, we chat with Dr. Sheila Rauch, one of the authors of the Prolonged Exposure Therapist Guide, about her many exciting projects to expand access to effective care for PTSD. As she explains, “the more doors that we have for people with PTSD to enter and get effective treatment, the more people are going to actually do that.” Join us for one of our new favorite episodes to hear about self-help approaches, PE in primary care, immediate interventions in emergency departments, and shifting the name of PE to “Processing Emotions.”Sheila A.M. Rauch, Ph.D., ABPP, co-led design and now serves as Deputy Director of the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program and Director of Mental Health Research and Program Evaluation at the Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center. For over 20 years, Dr. Rauch's work in VA and Academic Medical settings focuses on developing programs, conducting research, and providing PTSD and Anxiety Disorders treatment with the goal to improve access to effective mental health treatment. Her research focuses on examination of mechanisms involved in the development and treatment of PTSD and improving access to effective interventions. She has led several PTSD treatment outcome and mechanisms trials including pharmaceutical and therapy trials focused on moving interventions for PTSD into medical and primary care settings. She has published over 220 peer-reviewed scholarly articles as well as many chapters and six books on anxiety disorders and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She developed an effective primary care based PTSD intervention that is in use across VA and many civilian settings and has also worked to get treatment out of the clinic and into the hands of those who need it with apps, self-guided workbooks, and web-based interventions. Her work examines neurobiology and factors involved in the development, maintenance, and treatment of anxiety disorders, psychosocial factors in medical settings, and the relation between physical health and anxiety. Her recent books include Retraining the Brain and Making Meaning of Difficult Experiences.Resources mentioned in this episode:Rauch, S. A. M., & Rothbaum, B. O. (2023).

On the latest episode of In Your Head Radio, I sat down with Mike Long, co-author of the international bestseller The Molecule of More and sole author of the powerful sequel Taming the Molecule of More. We dove into the science and psychology of dopamine—that feel-good neurotransmitter tied to the brain's reward circuit and pleasure center. But as Mike explains, dopamine isn't just about experiencing pleasure—it's also about chasing it. There are two ways we encounter dopamine: The pleasure of the moment and the anticipation of what might happen. When it comes to decision-making, this dual nature can cloud our judgment. Are we making choices based on present satisfaction—or are we hooked on future possibilities that may never come? Mike also raised a powerful point: when we're always chasing dopamine, we risk overlooking meaning and purpose in our lives. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone curious about how brain chemistry shapes motivation, behavior, and fulfillment. This episode and more are available on Audible, Amazon Music, Amazon Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, iTunes, Stitcher, Player FM, and Podcast Addict.

In this episode I'm speaking to David Didau. David is a well-known and well-respected consultant in the world of English teaching and teaching more broadly. He has authored numerous books about education and the subject of English more specifically. Most recently, his book Bringing the English Curriculum to Life: A Field Guide for Making Meaning in English, with contributions from Claire Woozley, James Hibbert, Emma Levins, Kate Moloney, Tom Pinkstone, Amy Rose and Daniel Blackburn, has helped to outline how cognitive science and a concept-led English curriculum can be implemented in secondary schools.David is an educational hero of mine and as such it was a great privilege to speak with him again, this time on the topic of assessment in middle school English.We discuss:- Whether discussing themes is more suited to PSHE (personal, social, health and economic education) as opposed to the English curriculum- How mastery assessment works and the way it shifts focus onto good teaching and learning- The amount of question level analysis needed and conditions assessments are done in- Whether there needs to be opportunities for kids to ‘play the whole game' in English- What the data collected reflects about students' learning through the external summatives done- And since writing Making Meaning in English, is there anything David has changed his mind aboutThanks again to David for taking the time to talk with me as well as his continued work within the subject. For me, all of this has helped English teachers better understand how the curriculum could look and how best to enact it in truly practical ways.If you want to be kept up to date on when educational chat like this happens, then be sure to subscribe to the podcast and/or follow me on Twitter @chrisjordanhkLinks: David's interview with EduPulseDavid's books

Series Five of Making Meaning is here. A lot of this series will be focussing on textiles, although there will be some other stories, conversations and solo episodes coming up too. This week I am starting by sharing two of my talks from the Cultures of Care Group from the end of 2024. Cultures of Care Group is a free online discussion group about care in creative practice. Each month I share a talk about my reflections on an aspect of care in my creative work. In October and November 2024 the group discussed textiles, and I've combined these two talks into this one episode to launch this new series focussed on cloth and sewing, and all the meanings they contain.  Join a future Cultures of Care group Find out more about my Mary Linwood project Join my newsletter Full details of the episode, including a transcript

This podcast is again from my Cultures of Care Group and in a change to the usual, it includes the group discussion as well as my talk, which is my reflections on productivity as an artist and what that means to me now as a research-based artist more than a maker of things. I talk about making and doing what you want to do is a self-care practice and that my creativity is more than my productivity in a traditional sense.  We talk at the end about the importance of textile making as a community activity, which actually leads perfectly into the next Cultures of Care Group sessions in October and November which focus on textiles and care.

In this episode, we're talking about memes. Pictures have become a short-cut for thinking. People can forward a meme faster than their good judgment can stop it. How do people make meaning with memes? NOTES: Def: Dictionary.com: an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.  "celebrity gossip and memes often originate on the site" The word “meme” comes from the Greek mimema, meaning something that has been “imitated.” According to Britannica, the word was first introduced by Richard Dawkins, a British biologist, in his book The Selfish Gene; his intention was for “meme” to sound similar to "gene.” RECAP/TAKEAWAYS Memes target emotions and are shared impulsively. Memes don't substitute for arguments. Forwarding a meme does not equate to knowing the truth or understanding an argument. Meme's fuel outrage, even over things that don't deserve outrage.

I find being reflective in my creative work incredibly useful and have done for many years. In this essay / podcast I share how I came to reflective writing or journalling and some of the other ways I am reflective about my work with others. This was part of my Cultures of Care Group in May 2024. Find out more: https://ruthsinger.com/2024/05/16/reflective-practice-making-meaning-podcast-episode-41/  

This new podcast episode, the first in a series of four, is a recording of my first Cultures of Care Group talks. For these sessions I write an essay to share on an aspect of care in creative practice. In this first session, April 2024, I chose to talk about research as a creative care practice.

What does it mean to claim translation as an artform unto itself? In episode 76 of the Podcast for Social Research, recorded live at BISR Central while a wicked Nor'easter raged outside, BISR welcomed Ugly Duckling Presse, Barricade journal, and the Leipzig/Vienna-based collective TRANSLETTING for an evening of presentations and panel discussion addressed to the ethics, politics, and embodied practice of literary translation in the 21st century. With Walter Benjamin's “Task of the Translator” (1923) and Sawako Nakayasu's Say Translation Is Art (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2020) as historical and theoretical bookends, the cast—including BISR's Lauren K. Wolfe, Ugly Duckling Presse Manager Marine Cornuet, and the TRANSLETTING collective (check out their bios below)—talked its way through Nakayasu's playful politico-poetical wager (say translation is unfaithful, is performance, repetition, failure, process, collaboration, feminism, polyphony, conversation, deviance, decolonial, punk, and improvisation) and, from there, explored the word as a contingent unit of meaning and value by way of Ilse Aichinger's Bad Words, in a translation by poets Uljana Wolf and Christian Hawkey. The ensuing conversation touched upon all manner of things—from good words to wrong ones; the pleasures of infidelity; how power is borne in the space between an original and its translations; the meaning-bearing unit of language (a word, a comma, a syllable, syntax, a poem, a book, alternative structures of literature?); markets and reading publics; a translator's responsibility—to whom? to what?; identity and its vicissitudes; and much else besides. The TRANSLETTING collective includes: Konstantin Schmidtbauer, writer and translator; Mücahit Türk, writer; Jonë Zhitia, writer, translator, and editor; Nadja Etinski, writer, historian, and editor; Leonie Pürmayr, writer and editor; and Anile Tmava, writer, editor, and anthropologist.

This is Ronnie's final talk in a series on the book of Ecclesiastes, using commentary from Viktor Frankl. "Today, I want you to be infused with holy, scrappy, heavenly resistance. I want you  spilling over with God-given chutzpah. Not arrogance; not violence; not ego or attitude: But humble, hopeful, resilient, defiance: For 'what can be overcome, must be overcome…God grant me the courage to change the things I can.' There is a time for sacred defiance. Stick it to the man - and in that resistance - there is meaning."

This is Ronnie's fifth in a series of talks exploring the Book of Ecclesiastes alongside the work of Viktor Frankl. “If possible, we change our fate. If necessary, we willingly accept it…what can be overcome, must be overcome. What cannot be overcome, must be accepted. When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” That sounds very much like words written about the same time, not from a Jewish Holocaust survivor, but a Christian theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr. You've heard his words many times I suspect: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” 

This is Ronnie's fourth in a series of talks exploring the Book of Ecclesiastes alongside the work of Viktor Frankl. "Love is the means. Love is the end. Love is the power. Love is the motivation. Love is the inspiration and the aspiration. Love is the ultimate goal and the eventual outcome. Any religion - any spiritual practice - any way of living that does not lead us to love, that does not make us more loving people, that does not increase out capacity to give and receive love (as Thomas Merton said) - that religion, that spirituality, that way of living is as dead as a hammer and serves no purpose but to convince its practitioners that they are right and everyone else is wrong. 'The salvation of man is through love and in love,' as Frankl said.  That is the path. That is the narrow way. That is the only truth I know. And that is the full and abundant life." 

Ocular Melanoma is a beast of a diagnosis. Fellow cancer survivor and patient Eve Bogdanove shares strategies for coping with your diagnosis and making meaning throughout the journey.  Eve N. Bogdanove has been a clinical social worker for 28 years. She is a psychodynamically trained with additional training in IFS, SE, EMDR, DBT and is a AASECT Certified Sex & Gender Therapist.  She has expertise in CPTSD and working with perpetrators who harm their intimate partners.    Our mini seminar this year was brought to you by Castle Biosciences, as well as Aura Biosciences, Immunocore, IDEAYA Biosciences, Delcath Systems, and Trisalus Life Sciences. 

This is Ronnie's third in a series of talks exploring the Book of Ecclesiastes alongside the work of Viktor Frankl. "Consider this: Any two human beings share 99.5 percent of the same DNA and genetic material. No one is all that different from his or her neighbor. What makes us unique are our experiences. Your life can never be duplicated, and what you have experienced, no power on earth can take away from you! All you have done; all you have taken in through your senses and into your soul; all you have thought, all you have suffered; all the joys and triumphs you have celebrated; all the happy mornings and sleepless nights; all the prayers of gratitude and all the cries for help - you brought them into being with the single solitary life God has given you to live. And there will never be another person like you. We all step into the same river, but we do not share the same water.

This is Ronnie's second in a series of talks exploring the Book of Ecclesiastes alongside the work of Viktor Frankl. "Work - what you do - is essential to finding meaning in life. I did not say that work IS the meaning of life. No. But when our attitude is attuned, work can be a source of great satisfaction. As the proverb is told: 'Find something you love to do, and you will never work a day in your life.' That doesn't mean every day will be easy. We are not so naive. It won't always be 'fun.' Meaningful work is hard work - but it's meaningful. So, every job, every bit of work, if it incorporates the skills a person has, it meets the needs of others, and it is pursued with chutzpah and gusto - it is impossible for that work not to matter. It has to be meaningful - for every one it touches."  

Viktor Frankl said: “If you have a WHY to live, you can endure almost any WHAT, that life gives you.” How does that statement stand up against inexplicable suffering; in an unjust world; in a society that seems to be growing more insane by the day? How does it compare with the words from the writer of Ecclesiastes? In this adventurous new sermon series Ronnie takes on the subject of "making meaning" in life. He is quick to point out that "meaning does not necessarily mean sense, as some things will never make sense in life. It's not the search for answers: Some questions have no answers. Some situations have no solutions. It's not a quest for explanation, resolution, fulfillment, or closure. It is the search for true purpose" (Ecclesiastes 1).

In this episode, Kiki Joy Latham shares with us her incredible journey through physical and emotional abuse in her family of origin, betrayal after betrayal, from abandonment and heartbreak to the most profound love story.
