In so many of my conversations like the one with Cathelina Duvert, we explore what it means to live authentically, use creativity as a path to healing, and turn our stories into strength.In this solo episode, I share what showing up authentically means to me. I also talk about how affirmations and prayer help me show up with confidence, courage, and faith, even when it feels uncomfortable.Because every time we show up and share our truth, we not only inspire others to do the same, we remind ourselves that it's safe to be seen.Listen to my episode on the Misconceptions of Authenticity:

Normally, we would expect the Left to be the ones questioning the validity of the United States' involvement and conduct in World War II as anything other than a ‘noble cause,' – which it was. As of late, World War II revisionism is happening on our own side, among some conservatives. These revisionists are not focusing on typical, left-leaning talking points like Japanese internment or the dropping of the atomic bombs. Instead, they have chosen to die on some very odd hills: Japan was pressured into attacking Pearl Harbor because of the U.S.' oil embargo, Admiral Yamamoto was a peacenik, and Hitler was sincere when he sued for peace in July 1940 after conquering much of Western Europe.

⚠️ WARNING: This episode will challenge everything you think you know about health. “Obesity kills more people worldwide every year than car crashes, terrorism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and malnutrition combined.” In this eye-opening episode of Start Today, I bring you Dr. Saman Soleymani—a no-BS physician and entrepreneur running over a dozen practices—who exposes how Big Pharma and Big Food profit from disease while ignoring the #1 factor that could save your life: nutrition. From the obesity epidemic to GLP-1 drugs, testosterone, antidepressants, and birth control, Dr. Soleymani rips the lid off the lies that are killing people every single day. We uncover why waist size is the ultimate death predictor, how visceral fat destroys men's hormones, why SSRIs don't cure depression, the promising science of psilocybin, and the dangerous side effects of hormonal birth control that no one talks about. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just the truth you need if you want to take back control of your body, your health, and your future.

Brian Pearson is the President and CEO of American Benefits Exchange, a firm that designs and distributes insurance and annuity solutions for federal, military, and civil-service markets. In his role, he oversees agent recruitment, carrier relationships, and strategic growth. With nearly 30 years of experience in the insurance industry, Brian previously owned and operated Pearson & Associates, which specialized in servicing active-duty military members. In this episode… Most small- and medium-sized businesses focus on keeping up with tax deadlines, but few realize how much money they're leaving on the table. Misconceptions, overworked CPAs, and fear of audits cause many to miss out on tax credits and incentives designed to help them grow. How do you know which credits you qualify for? According to tax credit expert Brian Pearson, the answer lies in understanding the tax system. He notes that most accountants don't proactively bring credits to their clients and that changes in the law opened doors for small businesses — not just tech or pharmaceutical firms — to claim the R&D tax credit. Brian emphasizes the importance of documentation, preparation, and having a team ready to defend claims if needed. Proactive tax strategies can unlock growth, protect profits, and accelerate retirement planning. Welcome back to Destination Business Freedom as Pat Mancuso talks with Brian Pearson, President and CEO of American Benefits Exchange, about how tax credits fuel business growth. Brian explains why the 2026 tax deadline creates urgency for businesses, the culture of the accounting industry, and how to recover money through tax credits.
How does the biggest misconception about Spanish wine make it a hidden gem for wine lovers? How did Spain's civil war and period of dictatorship delay the growth of its wine culture? What makes the vineyards of Priorat challenging to walk and unforgettable to visit? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Sarah Jane Evans, author of the terrific new book The Wines of Central and Southern Spain: From Catalunya to Cadiz. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks. Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of Sarah Jane Evans' wonderful new book, The Wines of Central and Southern Spain: From Catalunya to Cadiz. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck! Highlights How did the memory of her parents bottling wine at home influence Sarah Jane's perception of wine? What is the Oxford vs. Cambridge University Varsity Blind Wine-Tasting Match? What was Sarah Jane's experience as a judge at wine competitions in Japan? What's unique about Japan's peaches and why does Sarah Jane recommend them as a “can't miss” on a trip to Japan? Why was Sarah Jane initially drawn to Spanish wine? What is the Officer's Cross of the Royal Order of Isabella the Catholic and why was Sarah Jane awarded this honour? Why did Sarah Jane choose to write her Master of Wine dissertation on the alchemists of Sherry? What is the significance of Sarah Jane's choice to use first names when writing about winemakers? What are the hallmark characteristics of Spanish orange wines? Where are Spain and its territories located in Europe? What's the biggest misconception about Spanish wine? Why does Sarah Jane consider Spain the most exciting country in Europe for wine? How are winemakers reviving old vineyards in Spain? What makes Casa Castillo's Monastrell wines unique? Key Takeaways Unfortunately, people think of Spanish wine as cheap and cheerful. That image is hard to to get rid of. So when you look at a fine wine list, if you're in a Michelin-starred restaurant, you will start off with maybe Champagne, and then you'll have France, and then you'll get into Italy, and then, if you're lucky, Spain will come next. The good thing about that is that it makes very top wine in Spain, still very good value. Since Spain had a civil war just before the Second World War, and after that, they had a fascist dictatorship that went on till the late 1970s, they didn't join Europe until the 1980s. So during that time of the dictatorship, they were told what to farm, where to farm, how to farm it. So there was no priority about fostering a wonderful wine culture. that's only really coming in the last 40 years. Spain has just been a little bit behind, but it has to escape, because you can't survive on paying growers next to nothing, making very cheap wines. About Sarah Jane Evans Sarah Jane is an award-winning writer. She travels widely as an educator and consultant, and is a Contributing Editor to Decanter. Her books include The Wines of Central and Southern Spain, The Wines of Northern Spain, Seville, Chocolate Unwrapped, and also the entries on Spain and Sherry for the annual Hugh Johnson Pocket Wine Guide. Sarah Jane received the Royal Order of Isabella the Catholic awarded by the King of Spain for her work for Spain. Beyond Spain, her special interests in wine are Greece, South America and the great fortified and sweet wines of the world. To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/358.

Through his book "Dust That Never Settles: Literary Afterlives of the Iran-Iraq War," he explores in this conversation the official state-sanctioned narratives that emerged during and after the war, comparing them with the more nuanced, critical, and often experimental literary responses from writers in Iraq and Iran, including those in the diaspora. The conversation also highlights how these diverse literary works grapple with the war's legacy, from its human and environmental costs to its enduring presence in collective memory. 0:00 The Enduring Legacy of the Iran-Iraq War1:03 Introducing Amir Moosavi's Book3:39 A Historical Primer on the Iran-Iraq War7:16 Shifting Narratives: Qadisiyyat Saddam and Operation Karbala11:49 Bridging Arabic and Persian Literary Worlds15:51 Understanding State Literature and Propaganda20:11 Examples of State Literature and Narrative Shifts29:36 Post-War Writers: Challenging Official Narratives35:26 Warfront Depictions and the Quest for Truth38:31 Artistic Communities and Collective Memory40:41 The Meaning Behind "Dust That Never Settles"43:18 Ecological Damage in War Literature48:22 Misconceptions and Nuances in War Literature50:39 Diaspora Authors and Freedom of Expression Amir Moosavi is an assistant Professor in the Department of English at Rutgers University- Newark.

Everything is a chemical, even waterEverything inside is mirroring outsideYou're an open system. Your skin is your outer layer, but it's designed to feel everything.If you don't have inflammation, you will die. Inflammation keeps us alive.Chronic stress induces inflammation, and you see it right away on your face and in how your body feels.Inflammaging is that silent, low-level inflammation that slowly makes you look tired and age faster.Science doesn't work against you, it works for you.Be ethical, be transparent. When you put your head on the pillow at night, you should know you did it right.

In this episode of Logos Podcast, Fr. Max and Fr. Joseph dive deep into the meaning of the Old Law and the New Law — drawing from Scripture, the Church Fathers, and St. Thomas Aquinas. Is the God of the Old Testament different from the God of the New Testament? Did Jesus come to abolish the law, or to fulfill it? And why does St. Thomas say the New Law is actually more demanding than the Old?Together, the priests unpack the Torah, the Ten Commandments, the sacrificial system, and the judicial laws of Israel — and show how all of these find their fulfillment in Christ, the Law of Freedom and the Law of Love. You'll learn why the grace of the Holy Spirit is at the heart of Christian life, how to avoid common misunderstandings between Catholics and Protestants, and what it means to live interiorly with God's Spirit today.If you've ever wondered about the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament, this conversation will give you clarity, challenge your assumptions, and inspire you to go deeper in the Catholic faith.Topics covered:- Misconceptions about Old vs. New Testament God- The purpose of the Old Law (moral, liturgical, judicial)- Why the Old Law was incomplete- Prophecies of a New Law in Ezekiel- St. Thomas Aquinas on the grace of the Holy Spirit- Why the New Law is harder — yet possible through grace- What it means to live the Law of Love todayChapters0:00 – Introduction2:10 – The Topic 2:55 - Augustine Institute Ad4:45 - The Topic 7:40 – Misconceptions About the Law9:00 – What Is the Old Law?13:45 – Why God Gave the Law18:00 – The Limits of the Old Law22:40 – Promise of a New Law25:20 – What Is the New Law?27:30 – Moral, Liturgical, and Judicial Laws in Christ35:00 – Is the New Law Harder?41:00 – The Law of Freedom and Love47:40 – Infinite Mercy, Infinite Demands48:50 – Practical Takeaways49:27 – Closing & BlessingConnect with Logos Podcast:Website: http://www.logos-podcast.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PCPWBvNcAbptX17PzlC2x?si=BkEHS4vGSf-xmMlDFcpZ2QApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/logos-podcast/id1560191231YouTube: @logospodxastInstagram: @logospodxastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/logospodcastSponsored by the Augustine InstituteApply now: https://www.augustine.edu/logosSupport the show
⚠️ WARNING: This episode will challenge everything you think you know about health. “Obesity kills more people worldwide every year than car crashes, terrorism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and malnutrition combined.” In this eye-opening episode of Start Today, I bring you Dr. Saman Soleymani—a no-BS physician and entrepreneur running over a dozen practices—who exposes how Big Pharma and Big Food profit from disease while ignoring the #1 factor that could save your life: nutrition. From the obesity epidemic to GLP-1 drugs, testosterone, antidepressants, and birth control, Dr. Soleymani rips the lid off the lies that are killing people every single day. We uncover why waist size is the ultimate death predictor, how visceral fat destroys men's hormones, why SSRIs don't cure depression, the promising science of psilocybin, and the dangerous side effects of hormonal birth control that no one talks about. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just the truth you need if you want to take back control of your body, your health, and your future.

Just in time for the fall season, I am joined by Pam Grossman, a writer, curator, teacher, and practicing witch whose work beautifully bridges creativity, culture, and magic. Pam is the host of The Witch Wave podcast (called “the Terry Gross of witches” by Vulture), the author of Waking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power, and co-editor of Taschen's Witchcraft volume in the Library of Esoterica series. Her essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, TIME, and more. She has also organized exhibitions such as Language of the Birds: Occult and Art at NYU and spoken at institutions including MoMA and Columbia University. Her brand-new book, Magic Maker: The Enchanted Path to Creativity (Penguin Life & Hay House UK, October 14, 2025), is a guide to connecting with the creative force through ritual, history, and practice. It explores how artists and visionaries such as Hilma af Klint, David Bowie, Octavia E. Butler, and Leonora Carrington have used magic as part of their creative process, and how you can do the same in your own life. In This Episode, We Discuss Pam's creative roots and how she began merging her artistic and magical practices Misconceptions about witchcraft and how the archetype of the witch has evolved How Magic Maker links art and magic, showing that creativity itself can be a spiritual practice Practical rituals to protect your studio time and invite inspiration, from lighting candles to leaving offerings or simply asking for guidance The idea of “low frequency” and “high frequency” desires in art and business, and how to balance material needs with higher intentions Pam's experiences speaking at institutions like MoMA and casting a love spell on stage at Carnegie Hall with Jinkx Monsoon The role of research, fascination, and intuition when writing a book Artists who inspire her including Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, Hilma af Klint, Max Ernst, and Kurt Seligmann Resources and Mentions Books by Pam Grossman Magic Maker: The Enchanted Path to Creativity (Penguin Life & Hay House UK, 2025) → Pre-order here Waking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power (Simon & Schuster, 2019) What Is a Witch (Tin Can Forest Press, 2016) Witchcraft (Taschen's Library of Esoterica series, co-edited with Jessica Hundley, 2020) Podcast The Witch Wave – Pam's long-running podcast on art, culture, and magic Exhibitions and Projects Language of the Birds: Occult and Art (NYU, 2016) → languageofthebirds.org Art of the Occult by S.

“Just being able to see you are still just a person because being a superstar is like a mask, it's like a representative, when you get in jail and fighting for your life, you realize this shit is all an act, it's all just a mask.” Young Thug In one of the most raw and captivating episodes of the year, Young Thug sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred for an unfiltered conversation in which he opens up in like never before after beating Georgia's biggest case, enduring a trial that shook the hip-hop world and reflecting on the emotional toll of incarceration, how he navigated leaked phone calls, and the impact it all had on his family and mental health. From the moment the guys start talking, Thug is full of emotion, remorse and takes accountability for all that he's been through and put the people closest to him through- he longs for a fresh start but doesn't waiver on who he is, his manhood and doubles down on loyalty. Ryan asks Thug how things got to where they did and why he turned to the streets, despite his overwhelming success, dating back to his childhood and growing up in a house with his father as an example of family. Acknowledging the weight of the world on his shoulders, he reveals how he's been coping, exploring the range of emotions he's experiencing and understanding ways to deal with depression. He speaks candidly about his relationship with his girlfriend Mariah The Scientist and how they survived through the storm, expresses gratitude for fatherhood, and shares what kept him grounded when his future looked uncertain.In a moment of vulnerability, Thug reveals the people who didn't turn their back on him during the dark times, including Drake, Lil Baby and how Kanye and Kim Kardashian are the ones who gave him his biggest break. Thug gives fans a glimpse into his creative mindset, impact on culture, life codes, details behind his new music and how his experiences have transformed his sound and purpose. Going through emotional—now is Young Thug's most pivotal moment, as he tunes out the negative noise, ignores the criticism and embraces the chance to start over.
