In yachting, talent does not always get a clear path forward.Marlies Sanders knows that first-hand.After arriving in the Caribbean following a transatlantic crossing with no formal yachting background, Marlies built her career step by step, earning her Yachtmaster, gaining sea time, working her way through the ranks, and eventually becoming a Superyacht Captain with a Master 3000.But the journey was not without resistance.She was told she was too old. She was told some boats would not take a woman on deck because it would “ruin the vibe.” She saw the excuses, the bias, and the barriers that still affect women trying to progress in deck roles today.In this episode of The Wellbeing Project, host Karine Rayson of The Crew Coach speaks with Marlies Sanders, Superyacht Captain, about what it really takes to move from deck to leadership, why standards matter, how networking changes careers, and why visible female leadership is still so important in the yachting industry.This is a conversation about resilience, leadership, representation, and the women proving that the path does exist.In this episode, they discuss:• How Marlies entered yachting by accident and built a long-term career • The reality of progressing through tickets and sea time • Why women on deck still face outdated assumptions • What captains and vessels lose when they overlook capable female crew • The importance of leadership, ethics, and crew support onboard • Why networking matters more than many crew realise • What young women on deck need to hear when the industry tells them no • Why representation is not just symbolic, it is practical proofGuest: Marlies Sanders, Superyacht CaptainHost: Karine Rayson, The Crew Coach https://www.thecrewcoach.com

Vom Überleben ins Leben – warum deine Stärke nie ein Fehler warEs gibt einen Moment, den viele kennen und den kaum jemand laut ausspricht. Im Außen läuft alles. Der Beruf, die Verantwortung, das Funktionieren. Und doch ist da dieses leise, beharrliche Gefühl: So kann es nicht weitergehen. Nicht weil etwas schiefgelaufen ist. Sondern weil etwas fehlt.Dr. Marlies Koel begleitet Menschen genau in diesem Moment. Seit über 30 Jahren. Als Mentorin, promovierte Biologin, Heilpraktikerin und Speakerin – und als jemand, der weiß, was es bedeutet, wenn das Alte nicht mehr trägt und das Neue noch keinen Namen hat.In diesem Interview spricht sie über etwas, das in der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung selten wirklich gesagt wird:Deine Überlebensstrategie war nie dein Fehler. Sie war deine Stärke.Jeder Mensch entwickelt früh, oft noch vor dem ersten Wort, noch vor dem ersten bewussten Gedanken eine innere Strategie. Eine Art zu sein, die Sicherheit bringt. Die dafür sorgt, dass man dazugehört, geliebt wird, einen Platz hat. Diese Strategie ist nicht falsch. Sie war klug. Sie hat funktioniert. Oft jahrzehntelang.Und genau das ist das Thema.Wer jahrzehntelang funktioniert, verliert irgendwann den Kontakt zu dem, was jenseits der Strategie liegt: die eigene Lebendigkeit. Die eigene Wahl. Das eigene Ja.Die Y-Methode, die Dr. Koel über drei Jahrzehnte entwickelt hat, neben anderen Methoden, setzt genau hier an, aber nicht so, wie die meisten es erwarten. Es geht nicht darum, das Alte loszuwerden. Es geht darum, etwas hinzuzufügen.Aus dem Entweder-oder wird ein Sowohl-als-auch.Der Überlebensweg bleibt – als Ressource, als Stärke, als das, was dich hierher gebracht hat. Und gleichzeitig öffnet sich ein neuer Raum: für Entscheidungen, die wirklich deine sind. Für ein Leben, das sich wieder nach dir anfühlt. Für die stärkste Version von dir, nicht statt dem, was war, sondern als Erweiterung davon.Was entsteht, wenn beides zusammenkommt, ist nicht nur persönliches Wachstum. Es ist Handlungskompetenz. Innere Stabilität, Klarheit und Authentizität. Die Fähigkeit, auch in unsicheren Zeiten klar zu entscheiden und wirklich zu leben.Ich bin. Ich entscheide. Ich handle. Das ist kein Slogan. Das ist eine Haltung. Und sie verändert alles.Wenn du spüren möchtest, wo du gerade stehst, mach den FreiDuSelbst-Test: ein stiller Spiegel, keine Bewertung, keine Schublade. Nur du und was in dir wirklich lebt. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Raimund Löw im Gespräch mit Marlies Eder, Frédéric Krumbein, Nele NoesseltGEFAHRENHERD TAIWANDie Spannungen rund um Taiwan sind eine anhaltende geopolitische Konfliktlinie. Chinas Präsident Xi Jinping verlangt, dass  die Insel unter Kontrolle der Volksrepublik kommt. Unterstützt von den USA pocht die Regierung in Taipeh auf die Autonomie Taiwans. Das Verhältnis zwischen China, Taiwan und den USA hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren deutlich zugespitzt, während zugleich wirtschaftliche und sicherheitspolitische Interessen immer stärker ineinandergreifen. Taiwan spielt eine zentrale Rolle in globalen Lieferketten und ist damit von enormer Bedeutung für die Weltwirtschaft. Eine militärische Eskalation hätte weitreichende Folgen, auch für Europa. Von zentralem Interesse sind daher die Hintergründe der aktuellen Entwicklungen, die strategischen Interessen der beteiligten Akteure sowie mögliche Szenarien für die kommenden Jahre und ihre Auswirkungen auf die internationale Ordnung um Orientierung in einer zunehmend komplexen geopolitischen Lage zu bekommen.Marlies Eder, Redakteurin bei "Die Presse" und SinologinFrédéric Krumbein, Politikwissenschaftler und Associate Research Fellow Universität Duisburg-EssenNele Noesselt, Politikwissenschaftlerin und Sinologin, Professorin für Politikwissenschaft und Politik Ostasiens/Chinas am Institut für Politikwissenschaft und am Institut für Ostasienwissenschaften der Universität Duisburg-EssenModeration:Raimund Löw, Journalist, Autor, Historiker

Eine Geschichte, die kaum jemand sieht. Keine Bühne, kein Applaus und doch echte Größe. In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Marlies, einer Frau die für mich ein wahrer Champion des Lebens ist. Nicht wegen Titeln oder Erfolgen im Außen sondern wegen dem Mut ihres Lebens. Jahrelang gefangen in einer Ehe voller Alkohol und Hoffnung die immer wieder zerbricht bis sie eines Tages alles hinter sich lässt. Für sich. Für ihre Kinder. Für ein freies Leben. Das ist keine klassische Erfolgsstory. Das ist echte Stärke. Still. Tief. Und unglaublich berührend. Danke Marlies!

There are some places on earth that flower people put on a bucket list and never quite cross off. Holland's flower bulb region is one of them. The fields outside Keukenhof, where tulips bloom in waves of color every spring and tourists from around the world stop their cars on the side of the road just to take a picture. For Linda and Marlies of FAM Flower Farm, that landscape is daily life.Linda and Marlies grew up as friends in middle school, both surrounded by flowers. Linda married Henk, a tulip grower whose family has farmed the same land for 240 years. Marlies married Hubert, whose grandfather was a dahlia man and whose fields now produce millions of dahlia tubers a year. For most of their adult lives, the two friends watched their husbands grow flowers that traveled the world without ever knowing where they ended up.Then, around a dinner table about seven years ago, an idea was born. Why not show people the beauty of the farm? Why not build a direct relationship with the gardeners who plant these bulbs? FAM Flower Farm became that bridge. A consumer brand built on top of two separate family farms, run by two women who can finish each other's sentences.In this conversation, we talk about everything from harvesting tulips with machines that mow entire fields in a few hours, to selling complete dahlia clumps instead of dividing them, to what it means to be authentic in a world flooded with AI. We also talk about their new slogan, "Grow Your Own Happiness," and what they want every gardener to feel when they open one of their boxes.What you'll hear in this episode: How two lifelong friends built a global brand on top of two separate family farms The magic of Holland's sandy soil and sea climate (and why most dahlia tubers in the world come from a few small kilometers) Why FAM ships full dahlia clumps instead of cutting them apart the U.S. way How AI, robots, and authenticity are reshaping flower farming in EuropeIf this episode stirs something in you, share it with a friend who dreams of growing flowers, or visiting Holland someday.

Marlies married Hubert, whose family farm produces over 200 varieties of dahlias for export across Europe.

Rondom Internationale Vrouwendag 2026 stond voor de NBA de kracht van rolmodellen centraal. Maar wat bedoelen we eigenlijk met een rolmodel? En wat betekenen rolmodellen voor de accountancysector in de praktijk? In deze aflevering van Vitamine A gaan we in gesprek met prof. dr. Marlies de Vries RA, hoogleraar Behavioural Audit, Assurance & Control aan Nyenrode en voormalig Kwartiermaker Toekomst Accountancysector. Het gesprek is opgenomen tijdens de NBA-viering van Internationale Vrouwendag 2026. Samen verkennen we de betekenis van rolmodellen: wanneer werken ze inspirerend, en wanneer juist niet? We bespreken de zichtbaarheid van vrouwen in leiderschapsposities, de invloed van cultuur en organisatie-inrichting op carrièrekansen, en de vraag hoeveel verantwoordelijkheid bij individuen ligt en hoeveel bij het systeem. Ook komt de persoonlijke kant aan bod: welke rolmodellen hebben Marlies zelf gevormd? En hoe kijkt zij naar haar eigen rol als voorbeeld voor anderen? Een reflectie op leiderschap en professionaliteit in de accountancy, en op wat er nodig is om talent de ruimte te geven zich te ontwikkelen. In deze aflevering Wat een rolmodel is en wanneer iemand die rol vervult De rol van zichtbaarheid en voorbeeldgedrag in de accountancy Vrouwelijk leiderschap in de sector De invloed van cultuur en organisatie op carrièreontwikkeling De spanning tussen rolmodel zijn en jezelf blijven Wat organisaties en leiders concreet kunnen doen Voor wie Voor accountants, toezichthouders, bestuurders en professionals die nadenken over leiderschap, cultuur en ontwikkeling in hun organisatie.

In het laatste Filosofisch Actueel Gesprek van het jaar duiken Marlies, Ad en Jelle in de wereld van het grote geld, door de film "The big short" te analyseren.

De jeugd van Marlies Verschueren speelde zich af in een restaurant met veel huiselijk geweld. Tot ze op haar dertiende plots haar moeder verloor. Die dag ruilde ze haar rijke maar onveilige thuis voor het OCMW.  Maar een mens heeft vele levens. Zo had ze een eigen IT-bedrijf en veranderde ze van geslacht. Hoe heeft ze die transitie ervaren? Hoe anders is het om lid te zijn van het zwakke geslacht? En hoe helend is het om daarover te vertellen in haar eerste comedy show?

Ben Ennis and Daniele Franceschi wrap up the week with Sportsnet analyst Jason Bukala, discussing the Leafs' recent game and Dennis Hildeby's performance. They explore potential line combinations for Matthews, Tavares, and Nylander, and the effectiveness of the power play. Bukala shares insights on Macklin Celebrini's chances for Team Canada and the implications of the new ice surface on team selection. Next, they welcome Joshua Kloke (24:14) from The Athletic to analyze Hildeby's emergence and the injury concerns surrounding Oliver Ekman-Larsson. They also discuss the importance of Troy Stecher and the Marlies' situation. Kloke offers his take on World Cup ticket prices before they close out with a Canadian sports moment of the day.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill weigh in on the one-game suspension handed to Bobby McMann for his high-stick on Oliver Bjorkstrand, breaking down the play and whether Player Safety got it right. The guys also dive into the latest news from practice as the Leafs — 5-1-1 in their past seven games — prepare to host Ryan Reaves and the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night. Plus, Dallas Eakins joins the show. The former Marlies bench boss, NHL head coach, and current head coach/GM of Adler Mannheim stops by to dish on the Leafs' season to-date.#LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake

Today on The Art Bystander, I speak with Marlies Wirth, Curator for Digital Culture and Head of the Design Collection at the MAK in Vienna, about one of the most quietly radical figures of late-20th- and early-21st-century culture: Helmut Lang. Our conversation turns not to his later sculptural practice, but to the architecture of a legacy that reshaped how we understand design, communication, identity, and the very idea of what a fashion house could be.The MAK's new exhibition, Excerpts from the MAK Helmut Lang Archive — running 10.12.2025 → 03.05.2026 — reflects on the years 1986–2005, a period in which Lang's vision dissolved the boundaries between disciplines. His work unfolded across clothing, graphics, architecture, staging, branding, and digital experimentation — not as separate gestures, but as parts of a single cultural language. Long before he stepped away from fashion, Lang had already begun to operate like an artist moving across mediums, using every surface as a site of meaning.This retrospective reveals how deeply his ideas anticipated the world we now take for granted. It recalls the moment he livestreamed a runway before the internet had become a stage; the years when he turned New York itself into an extension of his voice; the way his presentations and stores became environments rather than commercial spaces. Lang's legacy is not simply a story of minimalism or aesthetic restraint — it is a study in how form can become communication, and how identity can be constructed with both precision and quiet intensity.In speaking with Marlies, the past becomes newly vivid: not nostalgic, but architectural. We explore how Lang's decisions — from the shape of a jacket to the rhythm of a campaign, to the destruction of his own archive — can be understood as part of a larger narrative about authorship, memory, and the courage to redefine oneself.This episode looks back at the cultural landscape Helmut Lang helped build, and the echoes of his vision that continue to structure how we see and experience the world today.

Marlies (56) weet natuurlijk wel dat haar moeder er niets aan kan doen dat ze dementie heeft. En toch kan ze zo kwaad worden als haar moeder voor de zoveelste keer klaagt over iets. Marlies doet er alles aan om haar moeder te helpen, maar het heeft eigenlijk geen effect. Ze zou zo graag vol begrip en geduld zijn naar haar moeder.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open Thursday's show by breaking down the Toronto Maple Leafs' response to their loss against the Boston Bruins, noting the calm within the team and the message from Craig Berube. They discuss Joseph Woll's return with the Marlies and what it could mean for his NHL comeback, as well as the importance of tonight's game for Anthony Stolarz to prove himself as the number one goalie. The pair also touch on Auston Matthews' potential absence and whether Easton Cowan could get another NHL opportunity. After the break, they take a closer look at why Shane Bieber chose to opt into his deal, before examining the Blue Jays' offseason priorities with a focus on how the rotation and bullpen might shape up for next season. They close the show by talking about the Tkachuk brothers launching a new podcast and how it might compare to the Kelce brothers' New Heights pod.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert kick off the first hour of a three-hour special discussing Joseph Woll's return to the ice with the Marlies for a conditioning stint. Then, they react to Team Canada's recently released jerseys for the Olympics, project who won't be headed to Milan from Canada's 4 Nations roster, and discuss which Canadian players —like Macklin Celebrini, Mark Scheifele, Wyatt Johnston, Nick Suzuki and Connor Bedard— should make the Team Canada cut. Later, of the Basketball Feelings substack, Katie Heindl (30:50), stops by to discuss the Thunder picking up where they left off after winning an NBA title, early returns on Kevin Durant with the Rockets, the sustainability of the Lakers' hot start and RJ Barrett's role with the Raptors. Finally, she tees up the Raps' NBA Cup matchup against the Hawks.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

With special guest: Jai Hobbs… in conversation with Bill Kable Covid 19 is just one more hurdle for our young people coming out of school. They already have to face up to serious competition to progress in a chosen career. If they can get through University they face a HECS debt and what about the housing market. Our guest today Jai Hobbs decided to do something practical to help the young people get on top of all that. With his wife Marlies, Jai has written a manual called FLY which stands for financially literate youth. This is what he is striving for. Unfortunately financial literacy is not taught at school and surveys have shown that the level of financial literacy in our youth is appallingly low. So first of all we ask Jai what does he mean by the term financial literacy, what are the essentials? Jai tells us that financial literacy is a skill and like other skills it can be learned. It can be learned from a very young age when kids of say 9 or 10 can become good money managers and then they retain that skill for the rest of their lives. Podcast (mp3)
