A skeptical reporter is sent to debunk England's most famous UFO hotspot — but the more nights he spends on Star Hill, the harder it becomes to dismiss what he sees, and the woman who keeps appearing there may be asking him to believe in far more than he ever bargained for.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Guided by a strange radio man called Bryce Bond up to Star Hill, Pete watches a glowing craft settle into a wheat field and leave behind a scorched, counterclockwise depression no wind could explain. But it's the violet-eyed woman named Maru who keeps appearing there — claiming to be a reporter, smelling of roses and lily of the valley, and seeming, somehow, entirely out of this world — who tests everything Pete thought he knew.From The Sealed Book comes "Death Spins a Web," a tale narrated from the pages of the keeper's ponderous volume about the dying Mrs. Oliver Drake, who summons her three worthless grandchildren — Blanche, Vivian, and the charming polo-playing scoundrel Chris — to her mansion and announces that her entire fortune will go to just one of them. As Chris courts both beautiful cousins at once to hedge his bets, a canoe trip across a deserted lake sets a deadly scheme in motion, and the old woman proves to be playing a far stranger game than anyone suspects.The Shadow presents "The Ghost Walks Again," with Lamont Cranston and Margot Lane traveling to a small New England town terrified by the apparition of Sir Roger Mathis, the village's stern Puritan founder, dead more than two hundred years. Townsfolk who favor opening the ancient meeting hall to the public keep turning up dead inside its torture stocks and presses, each victim clutching a death warrant signed in Sir Roger's own hand, and Cranston must determine whether a real ghost or a very human killer haunts the old colonial hall.Sleep No More, hosted by Nelson Olmstead with Ben Grauer, offers two literary terrors. First is Jack London's "To Build a Fire," the unforgettable Yukon tale of a confident, imaginationless newcomer — a chechaquo — who sets out alone across the frozen trail at seventy-five below zero with only a husky for company, ignoring an old-timer's warning never to travel alone in such cold. Second is George G. Toudouze's "Three Skeleton Key," the story of a lighthouse keeper stationed on a tiny rock twenty miles off the coast of Guiana, who watches a derelict three-master sail straight toward the light carrying a writhing, starving army of ship's rats that soon lay siege to the tower with three men trapped inside.BBC Radio 4's Spine Chillers delivers "Doppelganger," a modern psychological horror about Noah, a frazzled young assistant who keeps waking at exactly 3:44 a.m., drowning in FOMO and social-media envy as she frantically tries to be everywhere at once — her mother's birthday dinner, a girls' trip, an exclusive private members' club. When her doorbell camera records her leaving the apartment one night but never coming back, and a voice on the phone that sounds exactly like her own begins narrating her every move, the question becomes whether she's sleepwalking or being replaced.Strange, hosted by author and supernatural expert Walter Gibson, presents "Greenwood Acres," the account of Army Lieutenant Seth Proctor, who, on leave in a small backwater Georgia town in 1952, goes fishing among the water lilies and discovers a gleaming white plantation house that his landlady insists has been a crumbling ruin since a Civil War tragedy in 1865. There he meets a beautiful blonde woman named Laura swimming in the river, who somehow already knows his name — and whose own story is bound up with a jealous uncle named Cassius and a renegade Northern soldier.Suspense brings "Defense Rests," starring Alan Ladd as Robert Tasker, a young ex-convict and aspiring writer paroled into the law office of Max Krager, the only friend he's ever had, played by John McIntyre. When Krager's partner Arthur Hines — the very district attorney who once sent Tasker to San Quentin — turns up dead in his own office with Tasker's fingerprints on the paperweight beside him, the case looks open and shut, until a missing $50,000 and a switchboard girl named Peggy complicate everything.Tales of the Frightened tells "Mirror of Death," the brief, eerie story of Celeste Collins, a pretty Irish girl of twenty-one whose hand mirror shatters on the floor on the morning of her birthday — and who, despite dismissing the broken-mirror superstition as nonsense, receives a tall, gift-wrapped delivery that evening with a reflection waiting inside it.The Creaking Door, sponsored by State Express 555 cigarettes, presents "Cards," set at a charming English village fete where a devout vicar reluctantly agrees to have his fortune told with a pack of tarot cards by Mrs. Heyman. When she falls into a trance and warns him to fear death by fire, fear that which flies in the air but is not a bird, and fear the things of night — the bat, the wolf, and the leopard — the vicar plans to fly to Tanzania anyway to tour the mission stations funded by the fabulous Shelby Diamond fortune.The Saint stars Vincent Price as Simon Templar, the Robin Hood of Modern Crime, who refuses a five-thousand-dollar bribe to leave a corrupt town and instead hunts the unknown crime boss who gunned down his childhood friend, Treasury agent John Daniels. Following a trail of frightened informants — undertakers, a doomed dame named Rose Taylor, a bookkeeper named Al Boston, and a terrifying insect-obsessed killer called the Professor — Templar closes in on the one man whose name nobody dares speak.Theater 1030, a CBC Toronto production, offers "Trespassers Will Be Experimented Upon," a darkly comic supernatural tale by Anthony Lee Flanders about Nigel Hurdstrom, a winner of five Nobel Prizes, who drives his glamorous wife Vanessa across the Saskatchewan prairie toward a long-dreaded reunion. A storm strands them at the misty castle of the wicked Baron von Schenck — the mysterious figure who once taught a lonely farm boy everything the wind had to teach — and the pupil has come back to challenge his master, with a monstrous transplant machine waiting in the dungeon.Tales From The Tomb closes the night with "Hooked," the classic campfire legend of Ronnie and Cindy, two Jefferson High teenagers parked on a deserted road by the woods, who hear a radio bulletin about an escaped killer with a steel hook for a right hand just moments before a loud thud strikes the passenger side of the truck.

At first, it was easy to dismiss.A pastor heard voices on the phone when no one else was in the room. A light fixture fell and shattered—twice. Objects appeared to move on their own. Then an elderly woman began walking the hallway every night.Still, they tried to convince themselves there had to be a reasonable explanation. But some houses seem determined to make themselves impossible to ignore.The longer the family stayed, the stranger the activity became. What started as small disturbances slowly escalated into something that felt personal, as though whatever occupied the home wanted its presence acknowledged.Then one afternoon, a glance into a mirror revealed something standing directly behind him. Less than a week later, the family was gone.#RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHome #SupernaturalEncounter #ScaryStories #ParanormalActivity #UnexplainedEvents Love real ghost stories?

**Community Connection: Exploring the Complexities of Mental Health and Social Justice** This week on Community Connection, we're diving into some tough topics that are close to our hearts. From the importance of recognizing and addressing systemic issues in our communities to the complexities of mental health and the impact of policing in hospitals, we're having real conversations that need to be had. In this episode, we're discussing the hospital-to-jail pipeline, where people with mental illness are being arrested and criminalized instead of receiving the help they need. Our guest, Mary Claire Molloy, a medical reporter from The Mirror Indy, shares her investigative work on this issue, highlighting the alarming number of arrests at Eskenazi Hospital and the devastating consequences for those affected. We're also talking about the need for better training and resources for hospital police officers to handle situations involving mental health crises. We're also exploring the theme of social justice and how it relates to our communities. From the struggles of a small town like Martinsville, Indiana, to the importance of voting and getting involved in our local government, we're discussing the ways in which we can make a positive impact. Our listeners share their thoughts and experiences, and we're having a real conversation about what it means to be a part of a community that cares. If you're interested in learning more about these important topics and hearing the stories of those affected, tune in to this episode of Community Connection. We're grateful for our listeners who share their thoughts and experiences, and we're committed to creating a space for honest and meaningful conversations. Join us as we explore the complexities of mental health and social justice, and let's work together to create a more compassionate and just community for all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if one of the most foundational ideas in spirituality, manifestation, and conscious creation is incomplete? In this Dead Talk, Terence McKenna and Aleister Crowley explore the true nature of reality, synchronicity, consciousness, and human participation in the unfolding of life itself. Together, they challenge the popular notion that reality is merely reflecting your beliefs and introduce a far more expansive possibility—one that changes how we understand manifestation, guidance, meaning, and our relationship with the universe. This conversation moves beyond theory into something deeply practical: how to recognize the invitations hidden within ordinary experiences, why synchronicities matter, and what becomes possible when you stop trying to control reality and begin participating with it. If you've ever wondered whether life is trying to tell you something, this episode may completely change the way you see reality. Earlier this week, Christy and I appeared on the Jeff Mara podcast and Christy brought in Helen Keller.

In 1987, Ruthie Mae McCoy called 911 from her apartment with a terrifying story: someone was trying to break in through her bathroom mirror. To the dispatcher, it sounded impossible. Maybe even delusional. Ruthie Mae's call was treated as low priority. Officers came, knocked, and left. Two days later, they forced the door and found her dead inside. The mirrored medicine cabinet had been pulled from the wall, revealing a dark passageway behind it. Ruthie Mae had been telling the truth. Someone had come through the mirror. If that sounds familiar, it should. Ruthie Mae's case would later become entangled with Candyman, the horror film that helped turn a mirror, a repeated name, and a hook-handed killer into one of the genre's most enduring nightmares. On this episode of Haunted Talks, we explore the real murder behind Candyman, and how architectural shortcuts, systemic neglect, folklore, and disbelief transformed an ordinary apartment fixture into a threshold for evil. But this story is more than a chilling connection to a famous film. It is about fear, poverty, disbelief, and the unsettling truth that some of the most terrifying horror stories begin with something real.

Episode SummaryThis week on Home In Progress, Dan dedicates the whole show to bathroom remodels -- why they're trending, and how to think one through before spending anything. He covers the tub-or-shower decision, storage planning, lighting that stops working against you, upgrades worth baking in while walls are open, aging-in-place choices, and a full closing section on painting the bathroom right. A practical episode worth saving if a bathroom is anywhere on your horizon.In This Episode[00:00] -- Bathrooms Are Trending[02:15] -- Start With What Bugs You[05:04] -- Tubs or Showers First[07:45] -- Freestanding Tub Reality Check[10:43] -- Tub to Shower Conversion[13:41] -- Storage That Fits Life[16:15] -- Smart Storage Ideas[18:31] -- Bathroom Lighting Problems[19:25] -- Why Mirrors Make You Cringe[20:22] -- Fixing Harsh Shadows[21:43] -- Layered Lighting Basics[22:14] -- Mirror Task Lighting[23:56] -- Sconce Placement Tips[24:54] -- Shower and Night Lighting[26:02] -- Bulb Temperature Consistency[28:00] -- Remodel Upgrades to Add[30:44] -- Aging in Place Choices[33:52] -- Bathroom Paint Essentials[37:02] -- Paint Cure and Humidity[39:10] -- Prep and Tight Spaces[41:19] -- Ceilings and Caulk[43:05] -- Wrap Up and Store DealsBathrooms Are Trending [00:00]Bathroom remodels aren't overtaking kitchens -- kitchens are still the most popular project -- but bathrooms are closing the gap. They're smaller, usually less expensive, and more manageable. And the daily impact is bigger than most people give them credit for. If a kitchen remodel feels out of reach right now, a bathroom is worth serious consideration.Start With What Bugs You [02:15]Before looking at tile or faucets, walk through the bathroom you have and write down everything that bothers you. Not what you'd love to have -- what actually annoys you about the space right now. A lot of renovations look great but feel disappointing because they didn't solve the actual problems. New finishes don't fix a bad morning. Start with what the bathroom needs to fix, then work forward from there.Tubs or Showers First [05:04]The shower or tub is the biggest decision in any bathroom remodel and where serious money gets spent. Dan breaks it into two parts: what fits your life better (some people love a bath; others haven't taken one voluntarily in years), and what fits your existing bathroom layout. Getting swept up in a vision without looking honestly at the space is where projects get expensive.Freestanding Tub Reality Check [07:45]A freestanding soaking tub is a popular idea that can get complicated fast. Most existing bathrooms have an alcove setup -- tub against three walls, drain in place, plumbing at one end. Switching to a freestanding tub means relocating the drain, addressing the floor and walls after the old surround comes out, and making sure there's enough clearance around the tub for it to look intentional.The alternative worth knowing about: deeper alcove tubs, drop-in tubs, or soaking tubs designed to fit a traditional footprint. These can deliver the soaking experience without requiring a full redesign. Even replacing an older alcove tub with a newer one in the same footprint can be a meaningful gain.Tub to Shower Conversion [10:43]If baths aren't your thing, converting a tub surround to a walk-in shower is often a practical fit for what most bathrooms already have. Plumbing can often stay in roughly the same location, the footprint works, and the project tends to line up more naturally with the existing space than a freestanding tub would.One thing to stop and think about first: is this the only tub in the house? Families with young kids need one. Pet owners often do too. Future buyers may care. That doesn't mean you keep it -- just means the decision should be deliberate.Storage That Fits Life [13:41]Storage isn't the exciting part of a remodel, but it may be the biggest factor in whether a renovated bathroom still feels good two weeks after the job is done. Before choosing a vanity, go back to your list of annoyances and ask honestly whether storage is on it -- and whether it should be.The practical question isn't what vanity looks good. It's what the vanity needs to do. Drawers let you see what you have; deep cabinets swallow things. A vanity drawer with a built-in outlet keeps hair tools off the counter. Storage that matches how you actually live beats storage that just looks organized in the showroom.Smart Storage Ideas [16:15]If the footprint isn't changing, there are usually more options than it feels like. Going vertical -- tall cabinets, shelving from counter to ceiling, built-in storage above the toilet -- can add meaningful capacity without touching the floor plan. Recessed medicine cabinets don't have to look like the metal box from 1978; modern versions are framed, mirror-faced, and look like part of the room. And awkward spots -- a dead corner, a gap beside the vanity -- are worth a second look.Better storage organization inside existing space also counts: drawer organizers, pull-outs, a bottom drawer for towels or toilet paper. Build the answer in. Don't assume things will find a home after the remodel if they haven't found one yet.Bathroom Lighting [18:31]Bathroom lighting is often bad in ways people don't fully notice. One harsh overhead fixture, or a row of bulbs above the mirror, creates shadows on the face -- under the eyes, under the nose, under the chin -- that make people look older and more tired than they are. If you walk into your bathroom every morning and immediately want to look somewhere else, the lighting may be a bigger factor than you think.Why mirrors make you cringe [19:25] -- Most bathroom lighting is designed to illuminate the room, not the person at the mirror. A ceiling fixture in the middle of the room does the former. It doesn't do the latter well.Fixing harsh shadows [20:22] -- Light from both sides of the mirror is significantly better than light from above. Sconces on either side spread light evenly across the face, cut shadows, and make grooming more accurate. If side lighting isn't possible, a long horizontal fixture above the mirror is better than a single small bulb.Layered lighting [21:43] -- Good bathroom lighting usually comes from more than one source. General light -- ceiling fixture, recessed lights, or both -- makes the room usable. Task lighting at the mirror is where the real work gets done. One fixture can't do both jobs well.Mirror task lighting [22:14] -- The goal is light on your face, from roughly face level. That's what reduces shadows. A fixture above the mirror alone usually can't deliver that.Sconce placement [23:56] -- Height matters. Too low creates the campfire-flashlight effect. Too high brings the shadows back. Aim for face-level illumination, and let the person who needs the most help from the lighting make the call on placement.Shower and night lighting [24:54] -- A shower with walls that block the main room's light probably needs its own fixture. A dark shower feels less clean and less comfortable than it should. Night lighting is the thing people forget: a dimmer, toe-kick lighting, or a softer secondary source lets you use the bathroom at odd hours without switching on every bulb in the room.Bulb temperature consistency [26:02] -- Cool bulbs feel sterile; warm bulbs can make whites and skin tones look strange. A warm neutral bulb is a solid starting point for most bathrooms. More important than the specific temperature is keeping it consistent across all fixtures. Mismatched bulb temperatures can make the room feel off in a way that's hard to identify -- paint reads differently in different spots, tile can shift color. Sort out lighting before finalizing paint colors or any other choices sensitive to light.Remodel Upgrades to Add [28:00]When a bathroom is torn apart, some things are much easier to add than they'll ever be again. Worth at least pricing out:Heated floors -- bathroom square footage is small, and if the old floor is already coming up, now is the time to askVentilation -- a weak or struggling fan should be replaced now, not after it causes moisture damage to a freshly renovated roomOutlet placement -- if outlets are always in the wrong spot, fix it while walls are openShower niche -- easier to build in now than to add laterShower lighting -- while the walls are accessibleBlocking for grab bars -- you may not want them now, but blocking costs almost nothing during a remodel and makes installation easy whenever you doAging in Place Choices [30:44]If you plan to be in the home long-term, a remodel is a good moment to make choices that work better as you age. This doesn't have to look like a care facility. Options have improved considerably. A curbless shower can look modern. A wider shower entry feels more open. A shower bench can feel spa-like.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Freaks—the podcast where we explore how melody can lift us out of darkness. I'm your host, James Cox, a self‑declared “professional handicapped” advocate for mental‑health awareness, and today I'm honored to sit down with one of the most resilient, inventive, and inspiring musicians you'll ever meet: Peter Manning Robinson.From a three‑year‑old prodigy who instinctively knew the piano was his lifeline, to a survivor of sexual abuse and street homelessness, Peter has turned every hardship into a conduit for healing. He's an Emmy‑winning composer, a multi‑BMI award‑winner, and the creator of the groundbreaking Refractor Piano—a hybrid of hardware and software that re‑imagines what a piano can sound like in real time.In this conversation we'll:Uncover how a childhood trauma and a profound love for the piano became Peter's emotional equalizer.Hear the story behind his double‑helix concept albums, the raw grief of External Incursions, and the fire‑laden inspiration behind Excursions.Learn how a bout of debilitating tendinitis forced him to reinvent his technique, leading to a six‑month “martial‑arts” piano regimen that restored his playing and sparked an explosion of melodic, lyrical work.Dive into the birth of the Refractor Piano, a prism‑like instrument that refracts acoustic sound into entirely new textures—performed live, with no synths, no overdubs, just pure, spontaneous creation.Get Peter's brutally honest advice for anyone who feels their passion slipping away, and his mantra for staying present, grateful, and forever curious.Whether you're battling depression, searching for a new creative outlet, or simply love hearing how one artist turns adversity into art, this episode is a masterclass in resilience, innovation, and the unshakable power of music. Grab a cup of coffee (or tea—Peter's happy with both), settle in, and let the conversation remind you why, when words fail, music always speaks.

In this high-frequency episode, Emily is joined by international luxury transformation mentor and elite frequency advisor, Jenna Black. Speaking from the East Coast of Sydney, Australia, Jenna brings her potent, audacious frequency to The Emily the Mystic Show to dismantle everything you think you know about money energetics. As a Cancer Sun/Moon and Taurus Rising, Jenna works with seven- and eight-figure global founders at the exact intersection of wealth and God consciousness. Her signature brand, WOMAN OF WEALTH®, is built on a singular sovereign truth: you do not affirm wealth, and you do not try to become wealth, you recognize that you are of wealth. From surviving a severe "minus 10 cents" rock-bottom train station moment to learning how to command reality through multi-dimensional visualization, Jenna lays down the blueprint for true financial and spiritual legacy. In This Episode, We Cover: The Mother Archetype and the Home: How Jenna weaves her foundational Cancer and Taurus energy to create deeply nurturing, luxurious containers that feel safe, grounded, and inherently alive. Archangel Michael as a Childhood Friend: Jenna shares memories from growing up as a highly sensitive child on a rural golf course, communicating with spirits, and later realizing her childhood imaginary friend was Archangel Michael. The Rock-Bottom Train Ticket: A look at Jenna's pivot point in her late twenties, staring at a minus 10 cents bank balance while her partner was hospitalized, and how that intense season of isolation forced her back into her absolute sovereignty. Money as a Mirror of Power: Why money is a tiny fraction of true wealth. Jenna explains why a bank account is never an independent external force, but a direct, holographic projection of your inner power. Bending the Quantum Field: Understanding the "Divine Rearrangement" and why the silent, liminal void in your business is actually a sign that your old reality is dissolving to make room for your new standard. The Multi-6 to 8-Figure Identity Spectrum: A breakdown of how business energetics shift across income thresholds: Up to Six Figures: The "playground era" of experimentation, where the biggest pitfall is replicating someone else's 10-step strategy instead of trusting your original soul yes. Six to Seven Figures: Precision, high conviction, cohesion, and the stabilization required to ride out the risk points and natural passages of scaling. Seven to Eight Figures: Legacy work that operates entirely beyond the individual ego, where a founder views the business as a compounding, global mission and handles critics like water off a duck's back. Bridging the Mystical to the Corporate: The exact advisory exercise Jenna uses to translate "quantum" concepts into mainstream language by mapping out who your ideal client becomes on the other side of your signature work.

Today I'm talking to Morgan Taylor DiPrimo - the founder of ALIGN33 Media, a nonprofit media organization focused on eating disorder awareness, youth mental health advocacy, and systemic change through storytelling, education, and media. A filmmaker, speaker, and advocate with lived experience, Morgan is currently developing Mind Over Mirror, a documentary and investigative initiative examining the rise in eating disorders, the impact of social media and wellness culture, and the growing mental health crisis affecting young people globally. Morgan has interviewed over 400 individuals around the world, including clinicians, researchers, educators, treatment providers, parents, and people with lived experience, to better understand why eating disorders are increasing at alarming rates and why so many families continue to struggle navigating care and support systems. Her work focuses on prevention, early intervention, media literacy, stigma reduction, and creating larger public conversations around eating disorders beyond traditional stereotypes. In this episode, Morgan dives into: - The rise in eating disorders among younger populations and why more children are becoming sick earlier. The impact of social media, wellness culture, algorithms, and body image pressures on youth mental health. Why eating disorders are still deeply misunderstood by the public despite increasing prevalence. Her own Lived experience, recovery, and the emotional reality of living with an eating disorder. Mind Over Mirror - Using film, storytelling, and media as tools for advocacy, prevention, and cultural change. The burden placed on families navigating treatment systems, insurance barriers, and access to care. Why eating disorders often hide behind “success,” perfectionism, athletics, and wellness culture. I hope that you enjoy it.   To find out more about Morgan's work: - Website: https://align33media.org/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/morganmaxwelldiprimo

Dr. Carole Keim takes listeners through one of the earliest and most important decisions in pregnancy: choosing the right support team. In this solo episode, she explains the differences between obstetricians, certified nurse midwives, and doulas, helping parents understand the unique role each plays during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery. Dr. Keim also walks through the typical timeline of prenatal visits, ultrasounds, testing, and vaccines, giving expectant parents a practical overview of what to expect from the first positive pregnancy test through delivery. With her warm and reassuring approach, Dr. Keim also explores what labor and birth are really like beyond what's often portrayed in movies. She discusses birth plans, labor support, cervical checks, fetal monitoring, inductions, C-sections, and postpartum healing, while emphasizing that every pregnancy and birth experience is different. Parents will come away with a clearer understanding of how to build a supportive birth team and how to prepare emotionally and physically for welcoming a new baby.  Key Moments 00:00 Introduction to OBs, midwives, and doulas 02:17 Pregnancy tests and scheduling the first prenatal appointment 03:35 The 8–12 week visit, ultrasounds, and viability checks 05:35 The 20-week anatomy scan and fetal development 07:53 Glucose tolerance testing and gestational diabetes screening 10:16 Vaccines during pregnancy: Tdap, flu, COVID, and RSV 12:29 Breech babies, turning procedures, and planned C-sections 14:58 Routine late pregnancy visits and induction discussions 16:15 Certified nurse midwives vs obstetricians 20:07 What doulas do during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum 24:23 Birth plans, labor positions, and creating a calming environment 27:13 Labor monitoring, cervical checks, and delivery interventions 31:59 Postpartum healing, recovery, and spacing pregnancies 35:23 Final thoughts and additional resources for parents __ How to choose an OB or midwife  OBs, family doctors, and midwives can deliver babies Group practices are pretty standard nowadays; meet your main doctor/midwife but also meet the team who might be delivering (either other people in the office or a laborist) Personality fit is a big deal Obstetricians and family doctors are medical doctors.  Their training involves 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, and 4 years of residency (12 years total). There are two types of midwives: lay midwives and CNMs. Lay midwives are those who have experience delivering low-risk babies out of the hospital, typically at home.  They have no certification or licensure requirements, and no formal medical training.  Home births with a lay midwife are by far the most dangerous and I have seen some bad outcomes and cannot ethically support them.  When I speak about midwives during this episode, I am not including lay midwives. CNMs are required to have a bachelor's degree in nursing (4 years of undergrad), then 2 years of graduate-level nurse midwife training (6 years total). The main differences are the knowledge base and the approach to care. Doctors Nurses OBs, family doctors, and midwives can see you during your pregnancy and can deliver babies vaginally. Only OBs can perform c sections and take care of high-risk pregnancies (moms under 18yrs or over 35 years, those with health conditions, those with prior c-section, twins/triplets Birth location OBs deliver in hospitals because it is the safest setting Midwives can deliver at hospitals, birth centers, and/or at home depending on the local regulations Timing of appointments   In the US, the number of weeks starts at the beginning of your last period, so when you miss a period and test you are 4 weeks pregnant Ovulation and fertilization happen at 2 weeks, so you aren't actually pregnant until then, but we are counting from LMP In the US, the due date is at 40 weeks In other countries they may count dates starting at conception/ovulation, so the due date is at 38 weeks Initial appt: 6-8 weeks or whenever you find out you're pregnant, whichever is later First trimester (until 12 weeks and 6 days): you'll be seen 2-3x; initial confirmation appt, 6-8 weeks for dating, 10-12 weeks for NIPT. Blood testing and urine testing for STIs, drugs, ultrasound for dates, hear heartbeat, NIPT (check out the genetics episode 503) Second trimester (13 0/7 to 27 6/7): appts about every other week, anatomy scan, testing for gestational diabetes, further genetic testing and/or ultrasounds if indicated. Third trimester (28-40 weeks): appointments every 2 weeks, then weekly starting at 38 weeks.  Check urine for protein (a sign of pre eclampsia) at each visit.  GBS screen.  RPR on admission to hospital. Postpartum: 2 weeks and 6 weeks High-risk pregnancies will be seen more often.  A pregnancy can become high risk at any time. Doula What they can do: emotional support, physical comfort during labor and delivery. What they can't do: anything medical, including deliver babies. Reasons you might want one: to keep you as comfortable as possible during labor; they can get you food/water/ice chips, rub your feet or neck if you want, call the nurse for you, crowd control, can articulate your preferences while you're in labor, possibly also attending to partner during delivery Reasons you might not want one: expense, privacy, not needed if you have a support person Birthing options / Birth plans Birth plans How you want your birth experience to be Birth is a very tenuous process and doesn't always go according to plan.  A birth plan is a nice outline of preferences, if you have any. If you are planning a vaginal delivery, keep in mind that your birth team has the main objective of having a healthy mom and baby.  If your provider says that something needs to change during labor or delivery, there is usually a medical safety reason for that change. Scheduled C-Sections Reasons you might be scheduled for a C-section: repeat, breech baby, twins/triplets, high risk for underlying medical conditions in you or the baby.  Scheduled C-sections typically have a shorter birth plan: music in the operating room one support person in there with you will the support person go with the baby or stay with mom when the C-section is over? Even if you're scheduled for a C-section, you might go into labor early and need an urgent or emergent C-section before the scheduled date. Scheduled inductions  Reasons you might be scheduled: post dates, pre eclampsia, gestational diabetes, specific high-risk pregnancy reasons There are a few ways to induce labor, including medication taken by mouth or placed in the vagina to help open the cervix, IV medication called pitocin which causes your uterus to contract, and placing something such as a stick that absorbs fluid and expands or a balloon that is placed by your provider in the cervix to help it open Less to plan, but the same as for vaginal delivery. Mixed evidence as to whether scheduled inductions are more or less likely to end in C-section Vaginal delivery If you fully go into labor naturally, meaning you have contractions every 3-5 minutes lasting 1 minute each and your water breaks, you may need no intervention at all. Areas to plan: People who will be there Environment: music, smells, lighting, etc Comfort measures / pain relief - birth ball, shower, tub, squat bar, etc Words to use or to avoid Position for labor/delivery Mirror during delivery Plans for the placenta Newborn procedures: skin to skin, eye drops, vitamin K, Hep B, circumcision, timing of first bath, breast/bottle/both Who is allowed after baby is born and how they will be notified Check out The Baby Manual on Amazon.  It will give you peace of mind when your new baby arrives.   __  Resources discussed in this episode: The Holistic Mamas Handbook is available on Amazon The Baby Manual is also available on Amazon __ Contact Dr. Carole Keim MD Website: CaroleKeim.com Linktree TikTok Instagram   ---FullScriptUse this link to get 10% off and free shipping for orders over $50.HIRO DiapersUse code DRCAROLEKEIM for a discount at checkout.

The Living Mirror: Waters of the Body Reflecting the Patterns of NatureWhat if the same intelligence that shapes rivers, galaxies, and snowflakes is also moving through your blood?Holographic Microscopist Fiona Gardner has spent years peering into the microscopic world of plasma and water — and what she finds there is not random. It is patterned, responsive, and alive. The fluid architecture within the human body organizes itself into intricate geometrical structures that mirror the forms found throughout the natural world. The same forces shaping the curve of a fern or the spiral of a shell are quietly at work within us.In this Listening Field conversation, Fiona invites us to see ourselves as living participants in Nature's ongoing conversation — not observers of an outside world, but reflections of it. When we slow down enough to look, the body becomes a listening field of its own.This conversation is no cost and open to all.About Fiona GardnerFiona Gardner is a Holographic Microscopist, researcher, and visual explorer whose work reveals the dynamic relationship of plasma and water. Plasma is not simply the fluid of the blood — it is a dynamic field where the body's internal waters organize, respond, and communicate with the living architecture of life. Using the lens of the microscope, she observes the living motion of plasma, watching how the body's internal waters organize into intricate geometrical structures and living expressions of meaningful events. These formations often mirror the structures seen in the natural world — the same intelligence that shapes galaxies, rivers, and snowflakes organizing within our blood.Through years of observation, her work raises profound questions about the nature of plasma and the role of water in the body. Her work invites us to see ourselves as living art — patterns of consciousness shaped by the same forces that move through all of Nature.To learn more about Fiona's work, visit her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/messagesinplasma/Find the video recording with images for this episode here:  https://www.natureevolutionaries.com/events-programs/2026/fiona-gardnerSupport the show

Men and women process feelings in different ways, and as partners we need to learn how to leverage these differences.What I thought I knew about being a good husband turned out to be the thing keeping my wife from feeling close to me. John Gray wrote Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, which sold over 50 million copies in 45 languages, and he's been counseling couples for 45 years. So when he talks about why modern relationships keep breaking down, I listen.This is our fourth conversation, and it's the one where the biology finally clicked for me.We get into why a woman's stress hormones move in the opposite direction of men, why "happy wife, happy life" is real but "happy husband, happy life" isn't a phrase for a reason, and the 10-minute tool that changed my life. He also explains what's happening when a man hits road rage, why women seem to complain so much, and something critical women often misread about men.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right in relationships and it still isn't clicking, start here.Now through June 30, visit lukestorey.com/marsvenus and use code LUKE to get 10% off Lithium Orotate AD for men or women.You'll learn:[0:00] Introduction[6:13] What brain scans reveal about men, women, and moderate stress[19:11] Making love surfaces childhood trauma, and the containment practice that keeps men present for it[28:24] Connection lowers a woman's stress and success lowers a man's[37:35] The hormone science behind why a woman's vulnerability is a man's greatest motivator[1:09:33] Mirror neurons, compassion, and why men can only feel love when they don't feel blamed[1:19:47] The neuroscience behind why she holds on and he lets go[2:25:33] How Parkinson's led John to lithium orotate, peptides, and the protein shake protocol[2:34:15] The estradiol vs estrone divide that ends romance after menopause[2:42:02] The PTSD pattern, taboo behavior, and why danger pushes feelings back down[2:49:01] Imagining yourself as the plumber when your wife isn't happyResources Mentioned:Read: Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus - For Women Only: Be Happy With or Without a Man by John Gray | BookFull Metal Jacket | MovieMirror Neuron | WikipediaRead: Codependent No More: How To Stop Controlling Others And Start Caring For Yourself by Melody Beattie | BookDave Asprey | WebsiteByron Katie | WebsiteMars Venus Heart Space | AppFull show notes at lukestorey.com/johngray4Related The Life Stylist Episodes:Making Peace in the War of Love with John Gray | PodcastThe Master Key To Enlightened Sex | PodcastHigher Powered: Autobiography Of A Sex And Love Yogi w/ John Gray | PodcastBecoming Bulletproof with Dave Asprey | PodcastMindset & Emotional Freedom: The Inner Work Of Biohacking w/ Dave Asprey | PodcastDave Asprey – Smarter Not Harder: Top Biohacks for Vitality, Longevity & Maximum Brain Power | PodcastThe War Is Over: Making Peace With Your Mind | PodcastFind more from John:John Gray | Website | Instagram | Facebook | X | YouTubeFind more from Luke:Luke Storey | Instagram | Facebook | X | YouTube | LinkedInThe Life Stylist is Brought To You By:APOLLO NEURO | Visit apolloneuro.com/luke and get $99 off with code LUKE.SUNLIGHTEN | Head to lukestorey.com/sunlighten and use code LUKESTOREY to save up to $2100, plus get free shipping and additional discounts throughout the year.ACTIVE SKIN REPAIR | Visit lukestorey.com/skinrepair and use code LUKE for 20% off your order.

We throw around the term "body positivity" often, but do we actually know what it feels like to live it? In this episode, we're focusing on what body image positivity really is at a soul level: not a perfect score of self-love every single day, but a gentle, honest journey toward letting your authenticity take the lead. Career, relationships, your soul's purpose — when those are thriving, your relationship with your body starts to shift. And if looking good is part of what lights you up? Absolutely no judgment here.Learn more about Juan Francisco at juanfrancisco.co, or follow him at @thisjuanfrancisco on social media.

Nick is joined on the eve of Royal Ascot by The Mirror's David Yates, and Nick at length speaks to the King and Queen's racing manager John Warren about the chances of a Royal winner this week. Michael Mulvany looks forward to his two 2-year-olds in the Coventry tomorrow before Adam Mills previews the St James's Palace, Prince of Wales's and Gold Cup at Ascot whilst Harry Eustace shares whether he believes Docklands can go back-to-back in the Queen Anne. Finally, Henri Bozo discusses Diamond Necklace's victory in the Prix de Diane yesterday, a race that was missing from Monceaux's CV.

What if shame isn't just a feeling, but something that literally rewires your brain? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of shame through the work of psychiatrist Curt Thompson and interpersonal neurobiologist Dan Siegel — unpacking what the mind actually is, why shame finds it such a comfortable home, and how concepts like neuroplasticity and attention hold the key to healing.

Nick is joined on the eve of Royal Ascot by The Mirror's David Yates, and Nick at length speaks to the King and Queen's racing manager John Warren about the chances of a Royal winner this week. Michael Mulvany looks forward to his two 2-year-olds in the Coventry tomorrow before Adam Mills previews the St James's Palace, Prince of Wales's and Gold Cup at Ascot whilst Harry Eustace shares whether he believes Docklands can go back-to-back in the Queen Anne. Finally, Henri Bozo discusses Diamond Necklace's victory in the Prix de Diane yesterday, a race that was missing from Monceaux's CV.

Hosts Donald Jeffries, Tony Arterburn, and guest Ashley dissect the week's headlines: the splintering of MAGA into cult-like loyalty, the influence of installed media personalities, the Epstein revelations, and the shifting American global role amid covert power plays. Candid and unscripted, they probe propaganda, political theater, and what comes next for a nation in managed decline.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sitting down with my baby sister, Tina, for one of our favorite things to do - an unfiltered sister yap session. We cover everything from growing up as daughters of divorced parents to navigating our own divorces, healing family wounds, raising kids, and figuring out who we are on the other side of some of life's hardest seasons. This conversation is full of laughter, honesty, and the kind of stories that only sisters can tell. Tina and I didn't grow up together in the traditional sense after our parents divorced, so we've had a unique journey of finding our way back to each other throughout adulthood. In this episode, we reflect on our childhood, our Portuguese family culture, our relationships with our parents, and the lessons we've learned from staying in marriages longer than we should have. If you've ever experienced divorce, struggled with family relationships, worked through the mother wound, or simply enjoy listening to honest conversations between sisters, I think you'll see a little bit of yourself in this episode.

Send us Fan MailCompetition is loud right now. AI tools are everywhere, content is infinite, and customer acquisition costs keep climbing. So what still works when everyone can publish, target, and “optimise”? Joeri Billast sits down with Valentina Diaco, founder and strategic business advisor in iGaming and tech, to get concrete about the lever most teams forget: the emotional driver behind why people choose you and stay with you.We talk about what Valentina sees across industries, from luxury to entertainment to iGaming marketing, and why retention is the profit engine when acquisition gets expensive. We also unpack how she designed AIMatch Sessions as a curated, non-transactional networking experience, built from real attendee challenges around AI adoption. The goal is simple: create the right conditions for meaningful conversations that turn into ideas, partnerships, and real business outcomes.Then we go deeper on AI strategy and digital leadership. “AI is not a crystal ball, it is a mirror” becomes a practical framework for keeping humans in the loop, building a living knowledge base, and orchestrating AI agents without surrendering judgment. We also explore the shift from CMO to Chief Value Officer, the balance of performance marketing with trust and responsibility in regulated markets, and blue ocean strategy for creating new categories instead of battling in crowded spaces.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on June 12, 2026.
