Herkenbaar verhaal over vriendschap en sociale media van bestsellerauteur Annet Jacobs. Voor lezers vanaf 10 jaar die dol zijn op mode, vloggen en Insta-avonturen. Uitgegeven door Witte Leeuw Spreker: Lune van der Meulen

This episode draws on experimental and review literature on mirror-gazing, strange-face illusions, anomalous self-experience, dissociation, agency, face pareidolia, and face-distortion disorders, especially the work of Giovanni B. Caputo, Caputo/Lynn/Houran, Mash et al., Bregman-Hai and Soffer-Dudek, Derome et al., Palmer and Clifford, and Blom et al. Historical and occult context comes from research on catoptromancy, John Dee's angelic scrying records, the British Museum's “Dr Dee's Magical Mirror,” Campbell et al.'s Antiquity study on the mirror's Mexican/Aztec obsidian origin, and Mesoamerican material on Tezcatlipoca and the “Smoking Mirror.”Links For The Occult Rejectshttps://linktr.ee/theoccultrejectsOccult Research Institutehttps://www.occultresearchinstitute.org/Cash Apphttps://cash.app/$theoccultrejectsVenmo@TheOccultRejectsBuy Me A Coffeebuymeacoffee.com/TheOccultRejectsPatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/TheOccultRejectsCore Scientific Sources: Mirror-Gazing, Strange Faces, and Altered Self-ExperienceCaputo, Giovanni B. “Strange-Face-in-the-Mirror Illusion.” Perception 39, no. 7, 2010, 1007–1008.Key use: This is the main science anchor for the episode. Caputo showed that prolonged mirror-gazing under low illumination can produce strange-face apparitions, including distortions, unknown faces, monstrous faces, animal-like faces, archetypal faces, and faces of relatives or deceased people.Caputo, Giovanni B., Steven Jay Lynn, and James Houran. “Mirror- and Eye-Gazing: An Integrative Review of Induced Altered and Anomalous Experiences.” Imagination, Cognition and Personality 40, no. 4, 2021, 418–457.Key use: This is one of the strongest overview sources. It reviews empirical studies on mirror-gazing, psychomanteum work, and eye-to-eye gazing, especially in relation to altered perception, anomalous experiences, bodily experience, and self-identity.Mash, Joanna, Paul M. Jenkinson, Charlotte E. Dean, and Keith R. Laws. “Strange Face Illusions: A Systematic Review and Quality Analysis.” Consciousness and Cognition 109, 2023, article 103480.Key use: Newer review source. Useful because it supports strange-face illusions as a reliable phenomenon in both mirror-gazing and interpersonal gazing, while also warning that stronger research is still needed on mechanisms and prevalence.Bregman-Hai, Noa, and Nirit Soffer-Dudek. “Mirror-Gazing-Induced Dissociation Impairs Self-Reported and Implicit Sense of Agency: A Causal Investigation of Dissociation and Agency Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions.” PLOS ONE 21, no. 2, 2026, e0341316.Key use: Excellent source for the agency section. This connects mirror-gazing-induced dissociation with weakened sense of agency, which pairs well with mediumship, possession, automatic writing, and the feeling that “something else” is present.Derome, Mélodie, Eduardo Fonseca-Pedrero, Giovanni Battista Caputo, and Martin Debbané. “A Developmental Study of Mirror-Gazing-Induced Anomalous Self-Experiences and Self-Reported Schizotypy from 7 to 28 Years of Age.” Psychopathology 55, no. 1, 2022, 49–61.Key use: Useful developmental source. It connects mirror-gazing-induced anomalous self-experiences with age, self-perception, and schizotypal traits.Caputo, Giovanni B. “Visual Perception During Mirror-Gazing at One's Own Face in Patients with Depression.” The Scientific World Journal, 2014.Key use: Useful for the emotion/self-face relationship section. Caputo found that strange-face apparitions were reduced in patients with depression compared with healthy controls, including shorter duration, fewer strange faces, weaker intensity, and lower emotional response.Tramacere, Antonella. “Face Yourself: The Social Neuroscience of Mirror Gazing.” Frontiers in Psychology 13, 2022, article 949211.Key use: Strong support for the idea that mirror-gazing is like seeing yourself as another. It connects self-face perception with social neuroscience and the overlap between how we perceive our own face and the faces of others.Chakraborty, Anya C., and Bhismadev Chakrabarti. “Looking at My Own Face: Visual Processing Strategies in Self–Other Face Recognition.” Frontiers in Psychology 9, 2018.Key use: Useful for the self-face recognition section. This study looks at how people process their own face compared with other faces.Conty, Laurence, Nathalie George, and Jari K. Hietanen. “Watching Eyes Effects: When Others Meet the Self.” Consciousness and Cognition 45, 2016, 184–197.Key use: Best support for the gaze/presence section. It argues that direct gaze captures attention and triggers self-referential processing, which helps explain why a mirror can make the viewer feel watched.Face Perception, Pareidolia, and Monstrous DistortionPalmer, Colin J., and Colin W. G. Clifford. “Face Pareidolia Recruits Mechanisms for Detecting Human Social Attention.” Psychological Science 31, no. 8, 2020, 1001–1012.Key use: Best source for the “face-making brain” section. It supports the idea that illusory faces are not treated as meaningless noise; they can recruit mechanisms involved in social attention.Blom, Jan Dirk, Bastiaan C. ter Meulen, Jitze Dool, and Dominic H. ffytche. “A Century of Prosopometamorphopsia Studies.” Cortex 139, 2021, 298–308.Key use: Use carefully as a comparison source, not as a direct explanation for all scrying. Prosopometamorphopsia is a rare condition where faces appear distorted, showing that face-processing systems can produce frightening facial distortions under certain conditions.Psychomanteum, Grief, and Seeing the DeadHastings, Arthur, Michael Hutton, William Braud, et al. “Psychomanteum Research: Experiences and Effects on Bereavement.” OMEGA: Journal of Death and Dying 45, no. 3, 2002, 211–228.Key use: Main grief / dead-in-the-mirror source. Use carefully. It does not prove afterlife contact, but it supports the idea that mirror-gazing, darkness, memory, and grief can produce powerful experiences interpreted as contact.Moody, Raymond A. Reunions: Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones. New York: Villard, 1993.Key use: Main modern popular source for the psychomanteum as a grief-contact chamber. Use as practitioner/popular context, not as the strongest academic evidence.Terhune, Devin B., and Matthew D. Smith. “The Induction of Anomalous Experiences in a Mirror-Gazing Facility: Suggestion, Cognitive Perceptual Personality Traits and Phenomenological State Effects.” The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease 194, no. 6, 2006, 415–421.Key use: Good supporting source for anomalous experiences in a mirror-gazing facility. Pairs well with Hastings and the Caputo review.Kamp, K. S., Evgenia Steffen, Louis A. Kasket, and others. “Sensory and Quasi-Sensory Experiences of the Deceased in Bereavement: An Interdisciplinary and Integrative Review.” Schizophrenia Bulletin 46, no. 6, 2020, 1367–1381.Key use: Strong source for the grief section. It supports the point that bereaved people often report sensory or quasi-sensory experiences of the deceased, including feeling a presence, seeing, hearing, smelling, or sensing the dead.Hewson, Helen, and colleagues. “The Impact of Continuing Bonds Following Bereavement: A Systematic Review.” Death Studies, 2024.Key use: Useful for continuing bonds. It helps frame ongoing inner relationships with the dead as part of bereavement rather than automatically pathological.Historical, Religious, and Occult Mirror DivinationJohnston, Sarah Iles. Ancient Greek Divination. Wiley-Blackwell, 2008.Key use: Broad academic background for ancient divination systems. Not only mirror scrying, but very useful for framing divination as a serious religious and cultural practice.“Technical Divination and Mechanics of Sacred Space.” In Technologies of the Marvellous in Ancient Greek Religion. Cambridge University Press.Key use: Useful for ancient catoptromancy. This chapter discusses mirror divination as a technical mode of ancient divination involving reflective/catoptric knowledge and assumptions about divine intervention in human knowledge.Lee, Mireille M. “The Gendered Economics of Greek Bronze Mirrors.” Hesperia 86, no. 1, 2017.Key use: Useful for Greek bronze mirrors as social, gendered, material, and possibly magical/divinatory objects.Pitt Rivers Museum. “Mirrors.” Body Arts Collection Resource.Key use: Good museum-level source for folklore around mirrors and catoptromancy. Useful for basic show-note support on the traditional belief that mirrors could reveal the future.John Dee, Black Mirrors, and ObsidianBritish Museum. “Dr Dee's Magical Mirror / Dr Dee's Magical Speculum.” Collection object 1966,1001.1.Key use: Essential object source. The British Museum identifies the object as Dr. Dee's magical mirror or magical speculum, made of obsidian, catalogued as Aztec, and broadly dated to the 14th–16th century.Campbell, Stuart, Elizabeth Healey, Jago Cooper, Naomi Speakman, and others. “The Mirror, the Magus and More: Reflections on John Dee's Obsidian Mirror.” Antiquity 95, 2021.Key use: Essential academic source for Dee's mirror. The study uses geochemical analysis to show that the British Museum obsidian mirrors are Mexican in origin, with Dee's mirror matching the Pachuca obsidian source.Nature. “A ‘Spirit Mirror' Used in Elizabeth I's Court Had Aztec Roots.” 2021.Key use: Short science-news summary of the Antiquity findings. Useful for quickly explaining that Dee's mirror was traced to a source near Pachuca, Mexico.Smithsonian Magazine. “Obsidian ‘Spirit Mirror' Used by Elizabeth I's Court Astrologer Has Aztec Origins.” 2021.Key use: Useful public-facing summary of Dee's mirror, its Aztec/Mexican origin, and its connection to Elizabethan occult culture.Dee, John, and Meric Casaubon, ed.

Wereldwijd sterft 1 op de 3 mensen aan hart- en vaatziekten. Ook ik was tien jaar geleden Simon (mijn vader) er bijna door verloren. In het ziekenhuis hadden ze grote medelijden met hem. "Zooo gezond eten, zooo slank zijn, zoveel bewegen, nog nooit hebben gerookt, zelden tot nooit alcohol drinken en dan tóch op vakantie getroffen worden door deze 'hartaanval'." Een operatie en een zak vol pillen volgden. Ondertussen hadden de artsen Simon wijsgemaakt dat deze 'pech' te wijten was aan zijn genen. Voor mij daarentegen was het helemaal niet de vraag óf hij problemen zou krijgen, maar wanneer. Want hij at inderdaad ook wel eens wat gezonde dingen, maar op dagelijkse basis ook ontzettend veel ongezonde dingen: koffiemelk, yoghurt, vleeswaren, kaas, vis, vlees, margarine, melk, gevulde koeken en koffie. En in het weekend chips, ijs, gerookte paling, Friese droge worst en iedere verjaardag grote punten gebak, kaas en worst. Hoe meer, hoe beter.   Stuk voor stuk producten waarvan we weten dat ze je bloed verdikken, je aderen vernauwen en ontsteken, en de kans op hart- en vaatziekten significant vergroten.   Toen het moment daar was, was het desalniettemin alsnog schrikken, en zijn we allemaal ontzettend dankbaar dat mijn moeder heel accuraat heeft gehandeld.   Na veel gesprekken en het toepassen van de Win-Win Methode is Simon helemaal genezen. Letterlijk en figuurlijk.   "Zoo leuk! Zoo makkelijk! Zoo eenvoudig! Jaaaa, dit had veel eerder gemoeten!" Voor wie Simon kent, hoort het hem zeggen.   We zijn nu 10 jaar verder.   Het hart heeft zich tegen alle verwachtingen in volledig hersteld. De pillen, en dus de verschrikkelijk vervelende bijwerkingen, zijn verleden tijd.   Simon voelt zich weer 18 en wordt in juli 75!   Kijk, genen zijn in slechts 10% verantwoordelijk voor het ontstaan van een ziekte.   Dit weten we door mensen te observeren die, als ze vanuit gebieden waar nauwelijks leefstijlziekten voorkomen, verhuizen naar gebieden waar leefstijlziekten de orde van de dag zijn.   Binnen no time hebben ze niet alleen dezelfde leefstijl, maar ook dezelfde ziektes.   Als deze ziekten veroorzaakt zouden worden door genen, dan zou verhuizen en het aannemen van een nieuwe levensstijl weinig impact moeten hebben. Maar dat is niet zo.   We zijn anatomisch afgestemd op het eten van veel fruit en planten. Druis je daar tegenin, dan komt er een dag waarop je daarvoor de prijs betaalt.   Als we gaan leven en eten in overeenstemming met onze anatomie, zouden volgens berekeningen meer dan 80% van alle hartaandoeningen, beroertes en diabetes type 2 niet hoeven te ontstaan.   Met andere woorden: hoewel je genen van invloed kunnen zijn, zijn de levensstijlkeuzes die jij maakt veel belangrijker.   Hoe je het zelfherstellende vermogen van je lichaam activeert, lees je in het boek De Eiwitleugen.   Hieronder een lijst met ziekten die leefstijlziekten zijn, dus ziekten die ontstaan door leefstijl en niet door je genen. Het grote voordeel van deze ziektes?   Door je leefstijl aan te passen is het soms binnen enkele dagen alweer opgelost. Iets wat je met pillen never en nooit gaat lukken. Hart- en vaatziekten Coronaire hartziekte Hartfalen Hoge bloeddruk (hypertensie) Beroerte (CVA) Atherosclerose Perifeer arterieel vaatlijden (etalagebenen) Hartritmestoornissen (zoals boezemfibrilleren) Diepveneuze trombose (DVT) Metabole aandoeningen Diabetes type 2 Obesitas Metabool syndroom Non-alcoholische leververvetting (NAFLD) Insulineresistentie Dyslipidemie (verstoorde cholesterol- en vetwaarden) Hyperinsulinemie Jicht (sterk gekoppeld aan voeding en metabole ontregeling) Kanker (leefstijlgerelateerd) Darmkanker Borstkanker Longkanker Baarmoederhalskanker Maagkanker Leverkanker Slokdarmkanker Alvleesklierkanker Nierkanker Blaaskanker Aandoeningen van het bewegingsapparaat Artrose Osteoporose Chronische lage rugpijn Sarcopenie Fibromyalgie Verslavingen (alcohol, drugs, suiker, schermgebruik) Slaapproblemen / insomnia Brain fog / cognitieve achteruitgang Psychische en neurologische aandoeningen Depressie Angststoornissen Burn-out Dementie / Alzheimer ADHD Spijsvertering en immuunsysteem Prikkelbare darmsyndroom (IBS) Inflammatoire darmziekten (Crohn, colitis ulcerosa) Voedselintoleranties Auto-immuunziekten (reuma, MS, hashimoto, lupus) Chronische laaggradige ontsteking Obstipatie (chronische verstopping) Huid en hormonen Acne Rosacea Psoriasis Eczeem Hypothyreoïdie PCOS Chronisch vermoeidheidssyndroom (ME/CFS) Hyperthyreoïdie Oestrogeendominantie Menstruatiestoornissen Overgangsklachten (menopauzale klachten) Overig Slaapapneu Chronische nierschade Tandvleesziekte (parodontitis) Erectiestoornis Vruchtbaarheidsproblemen Migraine en chronische hoofdpijn     Je lichaam helpen zichzelf te herstellen?

What happens when your self-worth depends on other people's moods, praise, or approval? In this episode, Aideen sits down again with empowerment coach Julie Vander Muelen to explore conditional self-worth, people pleasing, and the quiet habit of handing our power to external validation. Together, they unpack why a life that looks successful on the outside can still feel misaligned and how self-love, truth, and curiosity create a more stable foundation for confidence.Julie shares practical tools for rebuilding inner security, including learning to receive compliments and noticing negative thought patterns, to gently retrain the mind toward supportive beliefs. This conversation offers a compassionate path toward steadier self-worth, healthier boundaries, and the courage to keep expressing yourself even when no one is clapping yet.Key Takeaways• conditional self-worth often develops through people pleasing and seeking external validation • learning to receive compliments helps rebuild self-belief and inner stability • the “pebbles” approach creates small moments of self-worth that build over time • self-love creates healthier boundaries and emotional wellbeing • expressing your creativity becomes easier when self-worth comes from withinConnect with JulieInstagram: @juvdmeulLinkedIn: @julie-vander-meulen-the-empowerment-coach    Website: www.ownyourlife.academyNewletter: Free Own Your Life Newsletter     Quiz: Good Girl Syndrome QuizArticles: My articles on Good Girl Syndrome Booking Page: Work with JulieIf this resonates, subscribe, share the conversation with a friend who needs steadier self-worth, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What's one “why” question you want to start living from?Support the showThanks for listening!

The Big Year Podcast April 1, 2026   It is April 1, 2026, I'm Robert Baumander and welcome to season 4 of The Big Year Podcast.  My 4th season?  Really?  So glad to be back again.  Miss me?  It's been an exciting journey and this season promises to be the best ever.  Maybe. Or not.  I'll let you be the judge, when it's all said and done, but boy am I looking forward to some of the guests I've already lined up.  In addition to Big Year birders, you'll get to hear from a real live astronaut, who is involved in bird conservation and a paleontologist who will educate us on which of the dinosaurs that survived the great meteor impact became the birds we know and love today. Last time you heard my voice, I was settling in for winter, and beginning work on my book, The Trans-Canada Jay Highway.  I was planning to stay local for the winter, focus my ADHD brain on just writing, and this podcast, but word of an amazing rarity in Montreal Quebec hit the birding world in January.  It was a very unlikely visitor from across the pond, a European Robin.  Wowzers.  That was a bird I wanted to see.  I waited a few days; one, to make sure it was sticking around and more importantly, for a good weather forecast that wouldn't have me driving through a blizzard or looking for the bird in minus 40 temperatures.    After a seven hour drive, including a slow trek through Montreal construction traffic in the rain, I arrived at a quiet, snow covered neighborhood, to find a small group of excited birders who had just found the robin.  Everyone in the neighborhood was welcoming to all of us who came to see their celebrity bird, including one woman who was putting seed out for the weary traveller.  When another birder showed up shortly after I arrived we both looked at each other, with the merest glimmer of recognition, but couldn't quite place from where.  It was Josh Gant who figured it out.  Josh was a guest on this very podcast, talking about his New Jersey state Big Year.  He also drove 7 hours to get to Montreal.  We arrived within minutes of each other and got to celebrate this amazing once in a lifetime bird, together and with other birders who had made the trek to Montreal.  None of us, however, had travelled as far as the European Robin.   European Robins are not related in any way to our American Robins.  European Robins, I discovered, are in the Old World Flycatcher family and American Robins are thrushes. Our robin's name was given only because of their similar red breast.  Many birds that are known as robins also sport this feature.  A better name for our robin would be Red-breasted Thrush.  So, the European Robin is not a thrush and the American Robin is a thrush.  And don't get me started on all the other “robins”. Moving on.   Today is not just an exciting day for bird lovers, and lovers of birding podcasts, but also space exploration.  Artemis II is on the launchpad, with four astronauts, including  Canadian Jeremy Hansen, and is scheduled to blast off at 6:24pm this April 1.  As someone who is old enough to have watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon and is nerdy enough to build NASA Lego sets, including the Artemis, this is an exciting day.  As for this episode, my guest is Josh van der Meulen.  You might know him, might have birded with him, but may not know his Big Year story.  If you remember back to last season,(and if not, why not?   I urge you to go back and take listen), I spent an hour or so talking to Andrew Keaveny.  Back in 2012, Andrew and Josh were doing Ontario Big Years.  I was a birdy-eyed beginner doing an ABA Big Year.  I relied on both of them to help me find birds when I was birding in Ontario, while they competed for Ontario Big Year supremacy.  I likened their competition to that of Kenn Kaufman and Floyd Murdoch's 1973 Big Years.   Though it was a competition, Andrew and Josh kept things civil between them and even birded together and helped each other along the way.  I was on the scene when Andrew missed the Townsend's Solitaire and found the only Red Knot of my Big Year, thanks to Josh.  14 years later, both of them are good birding buddies, who I'm always glad to run into, usually when stalking a rare bird.    So, now that we're all caught up, let's once again travel back in time to 2012, which seems to be the nexus of modern Big Year birding, and get on with the show.  

The Spring Primary election is next Tuesday and on today's show, Sara Gabler is in conversation with Madison Metropolitan School District School Board Seat 7 Candidates, incumbent Nicki Vander Meulen and challenger Dana Colussi-Lynde. They speak about their priorities for the school district, how they would address opportunity gaps, safe learning environments, literacy rates, student enrollment in the district, and more. School Board Seat 7 Candidate: Nicki Vander Meulen Nicki Vander Meulen is seeking a fourth term on the school board. She says that Madison is a “property rich but tax poor district” and that the current state funding formula has created two separate school systems for public schools and charter schools. She would like greater transparency when it comes to funding and at the same time better compensation for veteran teachers so that their talents stay in the district.  Serving students with disabilities is a top priority for Vander Meulen, who says that having the opportunity to attend public schools changed her life. She wants to see K-3rd grade classrooms capped at 23 students and more partnerships with community organizations who could provide tutoring to MMSD students. Equitable staff compensation, tutoring, keeping police out of schools, and addressing the culture of bullying would all contribute to reducing the opportunity gaps and declining enrollment in the district, Vander Muelen says. Nicki Vander Meulen is a juvenile attorney and member of the Madison Board of Education. When Nicki was elected in 2017, she became the first openly autistic school board member in the United States. Featured image of Nicki Vander Meulen. School Board Seat 7 Candidate: Dana Colussi-Lynde Dana Colussi-Lynde comes from a family of educators, and she's running for school board because she's concerned about the state of our democracy. She says her background in information technology has prepared her to address process improvement and assess the effectiveness of student technology use.  She points to the unfavorable data on student technology use and test scores and supports the “bell to bell” cell phone ban in the district.  She is also concerned about the educational opportunity gap and would like to see partnerships with the Goodman Center, NAMI, and other organizations to support students' wellbeing. She wants to see students graduating at their reading level and an increase in apprenticeship programs so students can be future-ready when they leave the school system. Dana Colussi-Lynde was born in Madison and raised in the Madison area by two teachers before graduating from Madison West High School. She then went on to Madison College for a degree in Information Technology, leading to a 25-year career in IT leadership, analysis and process improvement. She was a board member of New Leaders Council, a progressive leadership organization, for two years following their institute in 2019. She has also volunteered for Courage Plus and Planned Parenthood along with canvassing for local and national political campaigns. She was recently endorsed by the Wisconsin State Journal, Dane Dems and Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance and designated as a Mental Health Now Candidate. The school board would be her first, but hopefully not her last, public service role. Featured image of Dana Colussi-Lynde. Did you enjoy this story?

We moeten de wolf weer gaan bejagen, net als we bijvoorbeeld doen bij reeën, ganzen en wilde zwijnen. Daartoe roept LTO Noord het nieuwe kabinet op. In Duitsland is de jachtwetgeving sinds kort aangepast. Nu mogen deelstaten jagers toestaan om tussen 1 juli en 31 oktober op de wolf te schieten. Moet de jachtwetgeving in navolging van Duitsland ook in Nederland worden verruimd? Een gesprek met Dirk Bruins, voorzitter van LTO Noord, en met Dik van der Meulen, bekroond met de Jan Wolkers-Prijs voor zijn boek over de relatie tussen wolf en mens.

What happens when you stop trying to be “good” and start listening to your body? In this intimate and eye-opening conversation, Aideen welcomes back empowerment coach Julie Vander Meulen to explore the hidden rules of Good Girl Syndrome—how it frays our nervous systems, shapes our relationships, and quietly erodes our joy.Through real stories and practical, compassionate tools, Julie shares how a single word like“ouch” can soften conflict, why pausing to feel fear can change the entire direction of a conversation, and how circling back later can repair moments where panic once shut everything down. Together, we dig into the deeper roots: why so many of us confuse praise with love, why criticism can feel like exile, and how gentle self-acceptance practices can rebuild inner safety.Julie offers grounded rituals for reclaiming your worth: mirror moments, affectionate self-talk, and giving yourself rest without permission slips. We challenge achievement as the measure of value and offer a truer anchor: your essence is worthy by existing. From that truth, your voice softens, your boundaries strengthen, and connection becomes a place of honesty rather than performance.And then there's joy. Joy as a practice, not a prize. If happiness feels far away, begin with a memory of laughter and let your body remember. Reclaim small delights you once dismissed as unproductive: music that moves you, simple meals, playful imitation. In a world that hurts, joy isn't denial—it's fuel. When we allow ourselves to feel fully and show up fully, we become safer for each other.If this conversation resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who needs permission to be imperfect, and leave a review so more people can find their way back to their own voice. Your voice matters here.Support the showThanks for listening! To book a free consultation with Aideen visit https://www.confidenceinsinging.com/contact/

Samenvatting Te gast is Tim van der Meulen, tijdens de opname kerndocent didactiek bij Academica, nu gastdocent aldaar en fulltime werkzaam bij OCW expertisescholen, en we spreken over het paradoxale van spel en spelen in het onderwijs.Volgens Tim wordt het spel in het onderwijs vooral gebruikt in het kader van motivatie, zeker door onderwijsvernieuwers. Spelen wordt tegenover leren gezet. Maar wat als de school zelf het spel is? Dat heeft Tim tijdens zijn studies geschiedenis en filosofie geleerd van de visie op het spel en de spelende mens van historicus Johan Huizinga.Voor Huizinga zijn alle cultuurelementen spel, zoals de school, maar ook de wetenschap en de taal. Het wezenlijke kenmerk van het spel is zijn paradox. Enerzijds is het serieus, anderzijds een doen alsof. Enerzijds kent het regels en structuren, anderzijds gaat het om verbeelding en frivoliteit. De paradox van de spelende mens is dus dat wij helemaal in het spel opgaan, maar tegelijkertijd beseffen dat iets maar een spel is.Dat gebeurt precies in een goede les, stelt Tim. Een leraar hanteert heldere regels en een gestructureerde didactiek en uitleg, misschien wel met enige strengheid, en leerlingen doen enthousiast mee in dit spel, terwijl ze weten dat de serieuze leraar hen ook liefheeft. De vraag is echter of wij in onze cultuur en onze scholen dit onderwijspedagogische spel nog willen of kunnen spelen.Deze podcast is mede mogelijk gemaakt door schoolleidersopleiding ATTC, de Internationale School Voor Wijsbegeerte en rustplek De vallei van het goede leven.

What if the rules you've been following are the bars of an invisible cage? In this powerful and deeply relatable conversation, Aideen sits down with empowerment coach and writer Julie Vander Muelen to unpack Good Girl Syndrome - the quiet conditioning that keeps women overgiving, overworking, and chasing approval long after they've already proven themselves.Julie shares her journey, from living by social norm that didn't fit, to finally understanding the pattern. And how trading “being good” for “being free” transformed everything from her career to her relationships. Explore:* Awareness practices that help you catch the “Good Girl” voice before it takes the mic* Simple boundary tools—like the power of “Let me think about it” and a clean, confident “No”* How laughter, joy, and creativity reconnect you to desire without guilt* The hidden cost of invisible labor and how to reclaim your time, worth, and voiceThis episode is an invitation to stop earning your 'enoughness' and start trusting your own authority. Julie's message is both grounding and liberating: You are already worthy. From that truth, desire becomes a compass not a crime.Stay connected with Julie on LinkedIn and sign up for her free Sunday Sanctuary newsletter for reflective prompts and soulful stories that inspire courageous change. Connect with JulieInstagram: @juvdmeulLinkedIn: @julie-vander-meulen-the-empowerment-coach    Website: www.ownyourlife.academyNewletter: Free Own Your Life Newsletter     Quiz: Good Girl Syndrome QuizArticles: My articles on Good Girl Syndrome Booking Page: Work with JulieIf this episode resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more women find their way back to freedom and joy.Support the showThanks for listening!

It's part 2 of our dive into the Insect Apocalypse, with our good friend Dr. Jason Dombroskie from the Cornell University Insect Collection!In this part, Jason fills us in on the drivers of the Insect Apocalypse and - most importantly - what we can do about it.This episode was recorded on August 21, 2025 at Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area in Dalton, NY.. Episode NotesDuring the episode, we made the claim that 40 million acres of the US is lawn, and that that area is equal to all of the country's National Parks put together. True? Well, sort of. The claim that the U.S. has about 40 million acres of lawn—roughly equal to all our national parks combined—is only partly true. A NASA-funded study led by Cristina Milesi estimated that turfgrass covers about 128,000 km² (≈31 million acres) of the continental U.S., making it the largest irrigated “crop” in the country (Milesi et al., Environmental Management, 2005; NASA Earth Observatory). Later analyses and popular summaries often round that up to ≈40 million acres (e.g., Scienceline, 2011; LawnStarter, 2023). By comparison, the total land area of all officially designated U.S. National Parks is about 52.4 million acres, while the entire National Park System—which also includes monuments, preserves, and historic sites—covers about 85 million acres (National Park Service, 2024). So while lawns and parks occupy areas of similar magnitude, lawns do not actually equal or exceed the combined area of the national parks. Is it better to mulch leaves on your lawn or leave them be? Here's what we found: It's generally best to mulch your leaves with a mower rather than rake or remove them. Research from Michigan State University found that mowing leaves into small pieces allows them to decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil and reducing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass (MSU Extension, “Don't rake leaves — mulch them into your lawn”, 2012). Cornell University studies similarly show that mulched leaves improve soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity (Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Leaf Mulching: A Sustainable Alternative”, 2019). However, in garden beds, wooded edges, or under shrubs, it's often better to leave leaves whole, since they provide winter habitat for butterflies, bees, and other invertebrates that overwinter in leaf litter (National Wildlife Federation, “Leave the Leaves for Wildlife”, 2020). The ideal approach is a mix: mow-mulch leaves on grassy areas for turf health and leave them intact where they naturally fall to support biodiversity and soil ecology.

Supernerds Alex Agnew en Fokke van der Meulen, maar ook maestro Dirk Brossé duiken met mij in de wereld van de tweede (en béste) Star Wars-film ‘The Empire Strikes Back' en de geniale muziek van John Williams. We doen dat in het prachtige Studio 1 van Flagey, voor een live publiek, op uitnodiging van Brussels Philharmonic die na afloop een onvergetelijk cineconcert speelden.We hebben het over George Lucas die het werk voor Episode V heeft uitbesteed aan mensen die het beter weten, over Dirk die Carrie Fisher (en alle andere helden) heeft ontmoet en het controle-orgaan van Disney. Alex vertelt over het spelen met Star Wars-popjes, terwijl hij muziek uit de film neuriede. Fokke uit zijn aversie tegen de Disneyfilms. En Dirk deelt een anekdote over Anthony Hopkins op het mannentoilet (hij verwart hem even met Anthony Daniels, maar het gaat wel degelijk over Hopkins).Had de muziek anders geklonken, had Star Wars bij pakweg MGM gezeten? Is het geen idee om een cineconcert te doen, waarbij Alex alle bruitage voor z'n rekening neemt? En mogen we nu zeggen dat we dankzij Dirk in een “2 degrees of separation” van John Williams staan? Met grote dank aan Brussels Philharmonic.

Welkom in het vierde seizoen van Disney Klassiekers, helemaal opgehangen aan ‘Star Wars'. Ik vond drie nerds om mee te nerden over de allereerste film. Julian De Backer is auteur/acteur/LaserDiscAdept, Sven De Ridder is acteur/regisseur en Kristian Vanderwaeren is administrateur-generaal van de douane en accijnzen. Drie compleet verschillende werelden, maar één grote gedeelde passie: Star Wars.De allereerste Star Wars-film (noem ‘m nooit ‘A New Hope') uit 1977 veranderde Hollywood voor altijd. George Lucas accepteerde een lager salaris in ruil voor merchandising-rechten - een zet die iedereen toen gek vond, maar die hem uiteindelijk miljardair maakte. Terwijl Lucas zelf dacht dat zijn film zou floppen en naar Hawaii vertrok met Steven Spielberg op de dag van release.We hebben het over de douane in de film, over de onbevlekte ontvangenis en over Anthony Daniels die bijna ophield na de eerste film. En natuurlijk John Williams' tijdloze score. En Kristian verklapt ons dat zijn nieuwe - officiële! - uniform is gebaseerd op de cape van Darth Vader. Heerlijk om zo te nerden. May the Force be with you! Always.Let op! Maak de opname over 'The Empire Strikes Back' met Dirk Brossé, Alex Agnew en Fokke van der Meulen live mee in Flagey, op 20/09.

Orlando en Glenn zijn content creators en verhuisden begin deze zomer naar… Disneyland Paris. Enfin, naar een appartement op een steenworp van de themaparken. Sindsdien maken ze er elke dag vlogs. De live-action remake van ‘Lilo & Stitch' zag het duo op de dag van release, vanop een bijzondere locatie: op een Disney-cruiseschip!We hebben het over de betekenis van Ohana in onze eigen levens, over emigreren vanuit België en over introvert zijn. We dwalen ook (sorry!) regelmatig af naar Disneyland, het maar niet beu worden van de parken en mijn confrontatie met de security die me niet hebben binnengelaten met mijn opnamemateriaal. En voor ik het vergeet: we hebben het ook over de parel die ‘Lilo & Stitch' heet, over de kleine tekenfilm die een gigahit is geworden en de kleine nuances die de remake nòg beter maken. De film is nog steeds de meest succesvolle Hollywoodfilm van 2025. Zag je ‘m nog niet? Je kan ‘m nu inhalen op Disney+!Let op: Binnenkort waag ik mij aan Star Wars!

In deze dertiende aflevering van Morgen Verder gaan Joan Davidson en Chiara Staal op bezoek bij klinisch psychologe, psychotherapeute en psychoanalytica Marit van der Meulen.Vanuit haar achtergrond in zowel de psychologie, als Nederlands en dramaturgie, vertelt Marit over de mythe van Oedipus. Wat betekent het als iemand op "Oedipaal niveau" functioneert? Hoe zie je dit terug in de dagelijkse praktijk, en welke implicaties heeft dit voor waar de behandeling zich op richt? Ook legt Marit de link naar hoe je allerlei psychoanalytische principes, waaronder (tegen)overdracht, terugziet in verschillende contexten. Daarnaast horen we dat in psychoanalyse gaan zelfs leuk kan zijn, komt een luisteraarsvraag aan bod en maken we een kort uitstapje naar AI. Volgende maand neemt Morgen Verder even vakantie om van de zomer te genieten, maar in het najaar zijn wij weer bij jullie terug. Wil je niks missen? Abonneer je dan op de podcast; zo ontvang je een melding bij het verschijnen van de volgende aflevering. Wij wensen jullie een fijne zomer!

‘'Even in a non-profit context, issues of sharing power and mutual respect and dignity are essential and not universal.” - Rebecca Vander MeulenWhat does it take to lead with courage, clarity, and compassion when the systems around you collapse—almost overnight? In this episode of Transformative Leadership Conversations, I speak with Rebecca Vander Meulen, Executive Director of the J.C. Flowers Foundation. Rebecca has spent over two decades working in global health, faith-based development, and cross-sector collaboration—from launching HIV and malaria programmes in rural Mozambique to running initiatives for people returning home after incarceration in New York City. Her leadership blends humility, deep empathy, and strategic thinking in some of the world's most complex and under-resourced environments.You'll hear us discuss:Why waiting for full clarity before communicating is a luxury leaders can't afford in crisis—and how honest, imperfect communication builds more trust than silence.How the sudden dismantling of USAID funding has devastated public health systems globally, and why leaders like Rebecca are having to reimagine their strategies on the ground with little information and no time.The importance of recognising how power—whether in a community, a boardroom, or a rural health clinic—operates subtly, and how sharing it must be an intentional, ongoing process.What it means to lead with purpose when your work is directly tied to life and death, and how personal connection—not metrics or strategies—often becomes the true driver of lasting impact.How Rebecca's years in remote Mozambique taught her not only how to mobilise local expertise but also how to navigate and build trust in completely different systems, including the private equity world in Manhattan.Why the best social impact work isn't born out of obligation or abstract logic, but out of deep personal passion—and how to find your own way into the work that truly matters to you.ResourcesRebecca Vander Meulen on LinkedIn | J.C.Flowers FoundationWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

Jana Byars talks to Erika Graham-Goering of the University of Oslo about Lordship and the Decentralized State in Late Medieval Europe (Oxford University Press, 2025), which was edited by Graham-Goering, Jim van der Meulen, and Frederik Buylaert. The origins of modern European states are often traced back to the expansion of royal and princely authority in the late Middle Ages, transforming scattered power structures into centralised governments. Lordship and the Decentralised State in Late Medieval Europe rethinks state formation as a process of decentralisation, exploring how these governments willingly left power to lesser political players. It challenges the assumption that the rise of states made lordship obsolete, showing instead how distributing authority among local lords reinforced the development of new political systems. The contributors tackle this fresh perspective on lordship and state formation from two complementary angles. Detailed snapshots of lordship in France and the Low Countries assess the political significance of different aspects of lordly power. Historiographical essays discuss frameworks for understanding relationships between lordship and the state in contexts across Europe. These comparative perspectives establish an innovative approach to a key question in political history. Learn more about your ad choices.
