The BBC has had exclusive access to the world's largest study scanning pregnant women's brains. The BeMOther project is based in Spain and has found that women's brains change significantly through pregnancy and beyond. We learn more about the changes and ask why Matrescence - and the transformations that can come with pregnancy, birth and raising a child - are only just starting to receive attention as a distinct life-stage. There's even a campaign to get the word in US dictionaries. Nuala McGovern talks to Smitha Mundasad, a BBC health and science reporter who visited the trial in Spain for her documentary, Baby Brain: What's Really Going On? and Lucy Jones, the journalist and author of Matrescence: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood. Hester Musson's latest book is The Night Hag. It's a Victorian Gothic novel which takes place in 19th century Scotland. It delves into themes including the budding science of archaeology, spiritualism and folklore legends, but at its heart is the question of the role of women in Victorian society. A major global study says more than a quarter of healthy years lost to breast cancer could be prevented through lifestyle changes like cutting red meat, staying active and not smoking. The Lancet Oncology analysis shows cases worldwide are set to rise by a third, reaching over 3.5 million by 2050. We are joined by Professor Jayant Vaidya, Professor of Surgery and Oncology at University College Hospital, London, Dr Liz O'Riordan, a former breast cancer surgeon who herself has had breast cancer and is currently in remission, and Claire Rowney, Breast Cancer Now's chief executive, who has been recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Last week, news broke of the killing of one of Mexico's most dangerous men - known as El Mencho. He was killed by the Mexican military. He ran one of Mexico's most powerful drug cartels, the Jalisco Cartel New Generation. In response, members of his cartel torched businesses and buses across the country. But among the burnt-out cars, a new wave of posters appeared, with the faces and names of some of Mexico's 130,000 people who are either missing or disappeared – a tactic used by criminal cartels. The people taping their faces to walls are often their mothers, part of groups fighting to find out what happened to their loved ones. They are known as 'madres buscadoras' or searching mothers. Journalist Andalusia Soloff joins us from Mexico City, she has been following stories like these for years.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Helen Fitzhenry

For Week 48 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities List, I step into the strange, shimmering world of Kafka's Metamorphosis, Borges' Ficciones, and Garcia Marquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude.We start with a review of myth, fantasy, fairy stories, and magic: why we need them and what purpose they can serve in our lives (aside from being really fun). Kafka's tragic insect-turned-son is an isolated, powerless creature, unable to find even a way to communicate. Borges dazzles at a remove, writing about books that never existed and worlds that ought to. García Márquez slows us down in Macondo, Colombia, where memory, invention, and the wonder seep into ordinary life.Together, they sketch the contours of magical realism, worlds where the bizarre is presented as normal and the universe feels just slightly tilted. It's a genre I love, one that resists strict materialism and invites wonder back into fiction.And for art? We look at **La Sagrada Familia**—Gaudí's breathtaking, almost-otherworldly cathedral—an architectural reminder that the strange and the sacred often live side by side.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

In today's episode, I'm joined by Susan, a deeply ethical, no-bypassing kind of soul whose spirituality is lived, embodied, and rooted in reality. Susan is a former human rights lawyer with years of work connected to refugees and forced displaced people, and she brings that same clarity into the most intimate terrain of all: the body, belonging, and the question of home..After a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment journey that changed her body and mind in profound ways, Susan found herself asking a question many of us quietly carry, especially after illness, loss, or a major life transition: what happens when the place you've lived the longest no longer feels like home? From that question, she named something powerful: rehoming yourself..Together we explore what rehoming means on multiple levels, returning to the body as our first home after breast cancer, rebuilding trust through chemo brain fog and hormonal shifts, and navigating identity when you've lived across countries, languages, and systems that don't always welcome you. .We also speak about Switzerland and Geneva as a “transit city,” the mythology of the word expat, passport privilege, and why grounded spirituality must include truth, justice, and a refusal to spiritually bypass reality..This is a conversation about migration and inner belonging, about mending what feels broken, and about learning to fall back in love with your life one deliberate gold thread at a time..00:00 Meet Susan: Ex Human Rights Lawyer & Cancer Survivor02:04 Life in Geneva: A City of Transit, Friends, and Staying After the UN03:44 Migration: Who Gets to Be an ‘Expat' vs an Immigrant?04:48 Forced Displacement, Passports, and the ‘Illegal Alien' Rhetoric08:24 Cancer Diagnosis: A New Kind of Journey Begins09:43 Mindset vs ‘Mind-Fluid': Staying Flexible Through Treatment11:12 The Body as First Home: Curiosity, Chemo, and Relearning Presence15:06 After Treatment: Cellular Change, Listening Deeper, and Emotional Surrender20:36 Home as Sanctuary (and Needing Space): Getting Out, Support, and Returning23:04 Rehoming Yourself: Nationality, Lost French, and Rebuilding Belonging in Geneva27:28 Leaving Corporate & Restarting Your Career After a Big Change27:43 Rehoming as a Nomad: Belonging Beyond Passports and Borders29:59 Building Local Community: Democracy, Power, and Showing Up Nearby30:49 Falling Back in Love With a City (Without Romanticizing ‘Home')31:49 Geneva's Literary Magic: Writers, Revolutionaries, and a New Lens on Place33:06 Learning the Language Through Joy: Food, Music, Movies—and Curiosity33:29 Turning Rehoming Into a Project: A Switzerland-Themed Podcast Season34:20 Mending What's Broken: Kintsugi, Decluttering, and What to Keep36:40 Mexico After Chemo: The Monarch Butterfly Pilgrimage40:49 Metamorphosis as Medicine: Migration, Cocoon Time, and Becoming New42:16 Animal Guides & Nature as Home (and the Climate Grief Beneath It)45:41 Oaxaca Healing Rituals: Temazcal, Womb Symbolism, and Rebirth48:13 Radical Love Isn't Escapism: Justice, Borders, and Staying Rooted50:59 Closing Reflections: Journaling, Writing the Monarch Essay, and What's Next.Susan's website and podcast are found here: https://darknlight.com.IG: @darknlightzine.The book Susan mentions: Encountering Dragonfly by Brooke Williams.To find out more about how space clearing can help you make your home feel like a safe sanctuary during cancer recovery or to book a free space clearing assessment: .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://spaceclearingacademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Connect with Lais:FB: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/Laisstephan1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lais_thehousewhisperer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.....#spaceclearing #fengshui #cancersurvivor #sanctuary

Have you ever wondered why we feel so alive when we're surrounded by nature? Why certain textures, materials, or natural elements spark deep emotions within us? The truth is reconnecting with nature through thoughtful design is a necessity, it is how we restore our bond with the earth and the more we do this, the more we are shaping a new way of living that sustains us all. Polish craft and innovation is going to take centre stage at Collect 2026 which opens in London on 25 February this year 2026. Nature connection, craft and design is taking centre stage. Biophilic Design helps people reconnect with nature. I am also a maker and artist (I sculpt, weave, sketch, etc), and for me, creating things with natural materials gives me a direct connection to nature and our planet. In this podcast we speak with the curator of this year's Collect Corinne Julius and one of the Polish artists featured during the show. We explore the significance of biophilic design, the metamorphosis of Polish craft, and the role of materiality in art. The conversation also touches on the challenges of the craft industry in the context of climate change and the importance of tactile experiences in our lives. Can slow craft be the antidote to the disconnection and environmental crisis we face today? Have you noticed when you touch a rough piece of wood, a cool stone, or a warm fibre, something stirs inside? That tactile experience connects us directly to natural material grounding us amidst what can sometimes be quotidian chaos. It's not accidental that craft practitioners, like Anna Bera, choose wood, stone, and clay to create, natural biophilic materials conduct our senses directly to our well-being and consciousness. Anna, a Polish artist from the mountains, explains it beautifully: “Working with natural materials is like engaging in a dialogue with the earth.”She crafts large-scale sculptures from wood, embracing imperfections, knots, and fungi. Her work isn't flawless in the mass production sense; instead, it's alive, real, and deeply connected.Contrast that with the sterile, sanitised surfaces of modern mass-produced objects. They're designed to be invisible, to blend into the background. But Anna's work demands you notice — it beckons tactile engagement, invites you to touch and reflect. Natural materials are imperfect, and that's what makes them beautiful. Their flaws tell stories—of growth, decay, evolution. When we embrace this, we find healing, grounding, and a fresh perspective on our relationship with nature. Corinne Julius, the curator of the Metamorphosis exhibition, champions the idea that craftsmanship embodies deep intellectual effort and storytelling. She believes that authentic craft can challenge our fast-paced, disposable culture. “Craft is a form of soft power. It shows us that beauty can win minds and hearts, making deep environmental and social issues approachable.” Her exhibitions, like Metamorphosis showing at Collect this year at Somerset House in London, celebrate transformation of materials, of countries, of ideas. The craftspeople and artists she showcases, like Alicia Patanowska or Marcin Rusak use their work to COMMENT. Their pieces question consumption, waste, and sustainability through poetic, tactile means. A tile that's thrown, cut, reassembled; a flower encased in resin—each reflects an urgent truth: We can transform waste into wonder, making us see the world differently, inspiring us to act consciously. So what is the biggest barrier to more craft specification? We have been disconnecting from nature more and more over the last two hundred years especially. Our built environments, homes, school, offices and hospitals, are often cold, uniform, and disconnected from the rhythms of the natural world. No wonder stress skyrockets, mental health suffers, and our environment degrades. Biophilic design flips this script. It's about embedding natural elements, wood, plant life, water, into our daily spaces. Think of the Polish artists who create immersive installations from living plants, or designers reimagining architecture with curving, organic shapes that mirror the human body.As Anna says: "We need more biomorphic shapes, fewer harsh lines, more presence of trees and nature in our surroundings." Her work, touching even those with sight impairments, demonstrates how materiality influences well-being. Touching a rough wood sculpture can ground you, calm you, reconnect you with your roots.Corinne agrees: “In a world obsessed with speed and perfection, slow craft and natural materials are an antidote. They remind us who we are—living, breathing, interconnected.”This of course is the heart of biophilic design. The Polish crafts scene, with its optimism and innovation, exemplifies a can-do attitude. Corinne points out: “When we collaborate properly with craftspeople, we create spaces and products that are sustainable, soulful, and inspiring."But it's not enough just to wish for it. We need action, whether in architecture, fashion, or daily choices. How?Specify handmade, natural materials in projects.A wooden table with visible grain, a ceramic vessel with imperfections. These aren't flaws, they're stories.Support artisans who work with sustainable practices.Their work embodies a dialogue with nature.Prioritise slow, thoughtful craftsmanship over mass-produced sameness.It's a rebellion, a stand against waste and environmental destruction.Educate and inspire others to value authenticity.Share stories, visit workshops, touch materials—rediscover the power of doing.As Corinne says "Join exhibitions, follow artists, advocate for crafted materials. That's how shifts occur." Every piece of authentic craft, every natural material, and every mindful space transforms our lives and our world. We can't afford to wait for systemic change alone; we must start with our own choices and specification.Visit Collect 2026 for more inspiration, and especially Metamorphosis curated by Corinne Julius, showcasing the work of Polish artists and experience the tactile, interactivity and beauty that is in handmade craft.Let's champion slow craft, embrace imperfections, and reconnect with nature's wisdom. Because if enough of us do, we can change the story—crafting a future rooted in sustainability, beauty, and genuine human connection.

Silvana and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 16 "Metamorphosis," which should switch it's name with the episode "Bane." Nirrti is up to her shenanigans again but is now changing people's genomes to try to make a Hok'tar. She has convinced a group of people that she is their god and can heal them and give them special powers.  This episode highlights once again that Jack hates Russians, he hasn't learned anything after "The Tomb," episode and we really need Crystal Jack back to deal with these issues. This episode reminds of the Hell episodes where we are going back and forth from a jail cell and being interrogated and tortured outside the jail. Another Russian Colonel dies reinforcing the redemption by death trope. Jonas catches the attention of Nirrti because his DNA is special in some way we aren't quite aware of yet. Unfortunately for her, this episode marks the demise of Nirrti, so she'll never get to get with Jonas or give him extra special abilities. That's the 9th Goa'uld they've killed so when they kill their 10th they get a free sub! Join the Discussion on our socials.

Embracing Grief: Women Over 50 Finding Strength Through Self-Expression What happens when you give yourself permission to feel, grieve, and express what's been living inside you for years? In this episode of Midlife Love Out Loud, Junie Moon sits down with pro-aging advocate and Kuel Life founder Jacqueline “Jack” Perez to explore how poetry became an unexpected path to healing, self-expression, and deep connection in midlife. Jack shares how unprocessed grief, loss, and life transitions led her to write a poem every day for thirty days, ultimately transforming her relationship with herself and inspiring women everywhere to feel less alone. You'll hear about: Why unprocessed grief doesn't disappear, it waits How creative expression becomes a healing vehicle What midlife loss really looks like and why it matters Normalizing aging, emotion, and reinvention Giving yourself permission to begin again This conversation is tender, powerful, and deeply human. Jacqueline (Jack) Pérez is a first-time poet who, at 60, discovered the transformative power of words—even those that rhyme. Unexpectedly, after a month-long sojourn in Istanbul, Jack felt compelled to explore life's intricacies stanza by stanza. Facing significant life moments, as we all do, she began crafting poetry in the wee hours of dawn as a means of expression and connection. Jack shares her vulnerability directly with the reader, QR code by QR code, often hiding in her closet to read these poems aloud. Metamorphosis in Stanzas is a heartfelt debut, capturing themes of love, loss, and renewal while inviting readers to embrace the beauty of change. When not writing or traveling, Jacqueline is a Pro-Aging Champion and the Founder of Kuel Life, a platform dedicated to normalizing aging for women. https://therealjackssmack.com Here are the 3 Free Poems from Jack https://mailchi.mp/kuellife/glimpseintomis Learn more about Junie here: https://www.midlifeloveoutloud.com

There comes a moment in life when you wake up and realise the version of you that once fit… doesn't quite anymore.In this deeply personal and quick episode, Cassie Roma explores identity, transitions, and the liminal seasons where we are no longer who we were, but not yet who we are becoming.Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience, she unpacks how identity is shaped by roles, labels, work, relationships, sport, motherhood, perimenopause, marriage, divorce, and career change.She shares the science behind why transitions feel destabilising, why uncertainty registers as stress in the brain, and why midlife is often a period of integration rather than crisis.This is a conversation about shedding, evolving, and rewriting the stories we tell about who we are allowed to be.If you're navigating change, outgrowing an old version of yourself, or sitting in the beautiful discomfort of becoming, this episode is for you.Because identity isn't a monument.It's a living draft.

What happens when a high-level business coach with a background in engineering and computer science decides to stop playing small and finally embrace her true calling as a magician? In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Elizabeth Purvis. Elizabeth has spent nearly two decades as a powerhouse in the coaching industry, but beneath the surface of her success, there was a deeper metamorphosis waiting to be triggered.We dive deep into Elizabeth's journey through my Metamorphosis and Mothership programs, where we uncovered the specific childhood wounds and inner child patterns that were keeping her business in a box. It's one thing to have the skillset, which Elizabeth has in spades, but it's another to lead from a place of complete embodiment and energetic alignment. By doing the trauma healing necessary to feel "safe" enough to be her full, magical self, Elizabeth has successfully bridged the gap between logic and spirit.If you're a business owner feeling like you've hit an invisible ceiling, this conversation is your roadmap. We discuss why healing wounds from the past is the ultimate strategy for business expansion and how Elizabeth is now fulfilling her purpose of bringing magic to the mainstream.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSMeeting Elizabeth PurvisThe Metamorphosis beginsHealing the Inner Child in businessLogic meets magic: A unique approach to successBringing magic to the mainstream "It's the time to act"Overcoming the "coachy" languageSafety and Support in Trauma WorkTransforming an internal state to show up differently in businessBridging the gap between spiritual healing and mainstream business**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.Practical solutions, breathwork sessions, journaling prompts, and more...

A search for the meaning of one of nature's greatest riddles: why do so many creatures transform? “How many creatures walking on this earth / Have their first being in another form?” the Roman poet Ovid asked two thousand years ago. He could not have known the full extent of the truth: today, biologists estimate a stunning three-quarters of all animal species on Earth undergo some form of metamorphosis.But why do tadpoles transform into frogs, caterpillars into butterflies, elvers into eels, immortal jellyfish from sea sprigs to medusae and back again, growing younger and younger in frigid ocean depths? Why must creatures go through massive destruction and remodeling to become who they are? Tracing a path from Aristotle to Darwin to cutting-edge science today, Harman explores that central mystery in Metamorphosis: A Natural and Human History (Basic Books, 2025).Metamorphosis, however, isn't just a biological puzzle: it takes us to the very heart of questions of being and identity, whatever kind of change we humans may undergo. Metamorphosis is a new classic of natural history: a book that, by unveiling a mystery of nature, causes us to relearn ourselves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tracing a path from Aristotle to Darwin to cutting-edge science today, Harman explores that central mystery in Metamorphosis: A Natural and Human History (Basic Books, 2025).Metamorphosis, however, isn't just a biological puzzle: it takes us to the very heart of questions of being and identity, whatever kind of change we humans may undergo. Metamorphosis is a new classic of natural history: a book that, by unveiling a mystery of nature, causes us to relearn ourselves. Learn more about your ad choices.

By Troy Phelps - Speaker: Troy Phelps Date: 2/7/26 Just as a caterpillar undergoes a complete metamorphosis to become a butterfly, Scripture reveals that Christians are called to an inside-out spiritual transformation through the renewing of the mind and the work of God's Spirit. Though the process involves pressure

Author and science historian Oren Harman explores why metamorphosis is one of biology's greatest mysteries, and what radical transformation can teach us about identity, survival and change.

In this episode, Dr. David Puder hosts a discussion on schizoid personality dynamics through the lens of Franz Kafka's life and writings. Discover why the DSM-5's surface-level criteria for schizoid personality disorder falls short, often missing the intense inner conflict between a profound yearning for connection and a paralyzing fear of engulfment. Drawing on the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM), Nancy McWilliams' insightful perspectives, and Kafka's unsent "Letter to His Father" plus classics like "The Metamorphosis," the group explores how schizoid traits differ from autism, involve hypersensitivity rather than social cue deficits, and manifest in creative, introspective individuals.

We've all marveled at the transformation of the caterpillar into the butterfly. We think of it as a singular mystery of nature, but nearly three-quarters of all animal species undergo some form of metamorphosis. In Oren Harman's new book, "Metamorphosis: a Natural and Human History," he explores the scientific, philosophical, and artistic aspects of transformation. How does it fit with the questions about individuality, struggle, and the life cycle?

What if the real disruption in multifamily isn't AI leasing agents or automation?What if it's the entire hierarchy of your organization?In today's episode of the Multifamily Collective, Mike Brewer reflects on an eye-opening piece by KP Reddy — “The Four Birds of Industry Metamorphosis,” and delivers a powerful perspective: we're not in an era of transformation. We're in the early stages of a complete metamorphosis.AI and agentic workforces aren't just tools. They're the early building blocks of a radically different operating model. Forget org charts filled with titles like CEO, RVP, VP of Ops. That entire structure? It's on the verge of collapse and not in chaos, but in clarity. Replaced by digital governance. By intelligent agents delivering real-time answers. By streamlined decision-making and trust built into the tech stack itself.Mike ties it all back to a hike with KP years ago in Phoenix. From Camelback Mountain to Substack insights, the thread is clear: companies that survive this shift will be the ones that rethink everything — especially how they lead.Read the article. Rethink the model. And start planning not just for transformation — but for metamorphosis.If this hits home, like the video, subscribe, and share your thoughts: is your org structure ready for the age of agentic workforces?Article mentioned in post: https://insightsbykp.substack.com/p/the-four-birds-of-industry-metamorphosisBlog: https://www.multifamilycollective.comSupport comes from: https://www.365connect.com/?utm_campaign=mmnHosted by: https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.com

The Deadly Spawn (1983) & Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor (1990) A cult fan favorite of the 1980s low-budget monster boom, The Deadly Spawn is best remembered for one of the era's most distinctive creature designs. Its semi-sequel, Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor, is a scrappy and underrated follow-up that's still a lot of fun, and long overdue for a proper Blu-ray upgrade. Behind both films is Ted A. Bohus, a true multi-man of independent genre cinema. Beyond producing and directing, Bohus has also been a vital chronicler of film history and technique through his magazines SPFX and Candid Monsters, publications that routinely reveal how much there still is to discover about movies we think we already know. In this episode, he sits down with us to talk about The Deadly Spawn, Metamorphosis, and the realities of working in the low-budget, independent filmmaking world, sharing more than a few hard-earned lessons for aspiring filmmakers along the way. We also dive into his work as a publisher, including the deep-research, damn-near-a-book issues of Candid Monsters, which take exhaustive looks at some of our favorite classic films. So sit back and enjoy a conversation packed with great stories, sharp insights, and a genuine love for the messy, fascinating world of making movies and magazines. Films mentioned in this episode: Angry Red Planet (1959), The Alien Factor (1978), The Alligator People (1959), Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025), Black Scorpion (1957), The Blob (1958), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), The Deadly Spawn (1983), Destination Fame (2012), Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), Fiend (1980), Forbidden Planet (1956), Freaks (1932), Friday the 13th (1980), Gog (1954), Gorgo (1961), Hell on Earth (2010), Hideous Sun Demon (1958), The House of Haunted Hill (1959), The Invisible Boy (1957), It's a Wonderful Life (1946), King Kong (1933), Kronos (1957), The Maze (1953), Metamorphosis (1990), Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor (1990), Mighty Joe Young (1949), The Monster of Piedras Blancas (1959), Nightbeast (1982), Primate (2025), Regenerated Man (1994), Son of Kong (1933), Star Wars (1977), Them (1954), The Tingler (1959), Tobor the Great (1954), Vampire Vixens from Venus (1995)

2026 is not a normal year... In this conversation, Dr. Bruce Lipton explains why the turbulence we're witnessing is not random—it's the "crash mode" of an old civilization that has reached its biological and spiritual limit.According to him, we are in the midst of a metamorphosis. The old systems built on Darwinian competition and Newtonian materialism are falling apart so that a new, cooperative "butterfly" civilization can emerge.This is an evolutionary shift in energy and consciousness. And while the collapse is global, your role as an "imaginal cell" in this new world is deeply personal.

Are you doing all the "right things" for your menopause symptoms—hormone therapy, nutrition, exercise, stress management—but still not feeling like yourself? In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriela Espinosa welcomes back licensed psychotherapist Ashley Turner for a groundbreaking conversation about psychedelic-assisted therapy and microdosing as complementary support during the menopause transition.Ashley Turner is a licensed marriage and family psychotherapist, yoga/meditation teacher, and founder of Yoga Psyche Soul, specializing in integrating Eastern spiritual practices with Western psychology (depth, shadow, and somatic psychology, women's mental health) for 25 years. After her own intense menopausal mental health struggles (depression, anxiety, confidence loss, cognitive issues), Ashley explored psychedelic-assisted therapy and psilocybin microdosing. She is completing her psychedelic-assisted therapy certification through the Integrated Psychiatry Institute in Boulder, focusing on psilocybin, ketamine, and MDMA. Ashley created the six-month Metamorphosis program for menopause and recently launched The Portal, a 12-week microdosing and menopause group therapy program with Golden Rule.Highlights from our discussion include:Menopause is a developmental phase, not just a medical event. Mental health symptoms during menopause can persist even with optimal lifestyle interventions.Psilocybin microdosing creates neuroplasticity and can act as a natural mood stabilizer.Psychedelic-assisted therapy is different from microdosing on your own. "No pills without skills" applies to all interventions, including psychedelics.This week, get curious: educate yourself by watching Ashley's masterclass on Microdosing and Menopause, read one of the books she mentioned (Mycelio-Pause or The Psilocybin Guidebook for Women), or simply journal about what you're experiencing emotionally and psychologically beyond the physical symptoms. Remember, you deserve all the tools available to thrive—not just survive—this transition.CONNECT WITH ASHLEY TURNER:InstagramWork with Ashley! CONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with Gabriella! Resources Mentioned:Mycelio-Pause: Using Mushrooms in the Menopausal TransitionThe Psilocybin Guidebook for Women by Jennifer ChesakAndrew Huberman's podcast on psilocybin and neuroscienceGolden Rule (female-owned psilocybin microdosing company based in Colorado)UK study on microdosing and menopauseBrian Johnson's live-streamed psilocybin macro dose journeyGo to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

"We all have three different ego states. We have a parent ego state, we have an adult ego state, and we have a child ego state and we toggle between these three ego states all day every day."Ever wondered why you sometimes react to a minor business hurdle or a comment from your partner as if it's a life-or-death situation? In this episode, I'm sitting down with my long-time friend, Dr. Robyn McKay, to explore the psychological machinery behind our reactions. We're talking about Transactional Analysis, a modality that perfectly bridges the gap between clinical psychology and the deep work we do in spaces like The Metamorphosis.We explore the three ego states: the Parent, the Adult, and the Child, and how they dictate how you communicate with yourself and the world. For many of you, childhood wounds or ancestral healing needs may show up as a "critical parent" internal voice or a "wounded child" reaction to expansion. When you're stuck in these states, you're not leading; you're reacting. Robyn and I discuss how to shift from being "Velcro" to triggers, where every criticism sticks and drains your energy, to being "Teflon." By bringing awareness to these patterns, you can finally move into your adult power, where choice and personal creativity live.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSUnderstanding the psychological history behind modern healing practicesRobyn's personal pivot - what sparked her own inner child healingThe history of transactional analysisDecoding the three ego statesWhat neural networks are activated when you are in different ego statesThe parent script – responding to situations exactly the way our caregivers didRecognizing maternal patterns and the "freeze" responseHow to regulate your system so external triggers stop sticking to your energyAwareness as the ultimate tool**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.The Metamorphosis starts January 20th.

John Abulafia in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://unfinishedhistories.com/history/companies/incubus/john-abulafia-on-incubus/ https://unfinishedhistories.com/history/companies/incubus/ Incubus Theatre has its origins in a 1968 production of Kafka's Metamorphosis that John Abulafia wrote and directed while he was at Sussex University. The part of Josef  K was created by Paddy Fletcher, then studying at Brighton Art College. John says of Paddy, ‘He was the most extraordinary, inventive performer, and a wonderful creative collaborator. I had a clear vision of the kind of theatre I wanted to create but everyone else told me that it was impossible to stage a play where a human turns into an insect. Paddy's response was that if I didn't give him the part he would never speak to me again. He tried any and every distortion of his body to create Josef K: he brought to life Kafka's vision of a tormented creature paying the price for the sins of his family. This Metamorphosis was before Berkoff and before anyone used the term Physical Theatre.‘ Metamorphosis took the 1968 NUS/ Sunday Times drama festival by storm, was invited to the Oxford Playhouse, and then to a series of other London venues.

“There is so much emotional energy moving, a lot of grief for people, and I think largely a lot of that is stemming from the fact that we are ending this nine year cycle... there is definitely a shift amidst us and I think we all can feel it.”We're standing at the edge of a massive energetic threshold. In this 2025 wrap-up, I'm not just recapping the year; I'm diving deep into the completion of a profound nine-year cycle that began in 2017. If you've been feeling a heavy mix of grief, transformation, and a relentless push toward authenticity, you're not alone... you're exactly where you need to be.In this episode, I'm sharing my unfiltered thoughts on why the idea of "going back to normal" after 2020 was always an illusion and how we're collectively moving into a clearer, more prominent shift in 2026. I open up about my own journey, from the intuitive hits I had as a child watching The Terminator to the career-shattering moments as a school counselor that forced me to choose my own truth over arbitrary rules. We explore why playing by the system's handbook often means betraying your own intuition, and why true trauma healing requires us to stop performing and start embodying who we actually are.This is a rant, a reflection, and a roadmap all in one. We discuss the trap of pop psychology, the unconscious family dynamics we replay in our workplaces, and why 2026 is shaping up to be the "Year of the Individual." If you're ready to leave behind what you think you should do and finally step into what truly resonates for you, this episode is for you.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSThe 2025 Energy ShiftEnding the Nine-Year CycleAwakening to a new planetary reality after 2020The Terminator: My trigger to a deep soul-knowing about the global shiftsFrom a school counselor role to "the system is a dead-end street"Trauma in the Workplace: confronting my people-pleasing tendenciesSibling rivalry and parental projections in our professional environments2026: The Year of YouHow to work with me in the new year**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.Get a $500 discount when you join The Metamorphosis before 2025 ends.
