What if thinking about death earlier didn't make you fearful—but made you freer? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, executive coach Seth Clark explores how mortality awareness can bring more clarity, courage, and alignment into everyday decisions. This episode is for leaders, builders, and anyone feeling stuck in busy, reactive living. Seth unpacks why avoidance gives death more power, how modern culture keeps us distracted, and how “mini-deaths” like role changes can reshape priorities—so you lead with a longer-term view, not just the next quarter. About the Guest: Seth Clark is an executive coach, ordained Christian minister, and doctoral scholar studying meaning-making in the face of mortality. His work helps people use mortality awareness to live and lead with deeper purpose. Episode Chapter: 00:04:56 – Setting the topic: mortality awareness and purpose 00:07:33 – Why “befriending death” can bring more life 00:09:29 – The first time Seth witnessed someone die 00:10:34 – Avoidance gives death authority over us 00:12:41 – The “relationship” analogy: facing what's real 00:15:08 – Doomscrolling, validation, and staying numb 00:17:23 – Leadership timelines, mini-deaths, and long-term thinking Key Takeaways: Notice what you avoid—avoidance quietly runs your choices from the background. Treat death-awareness as a clarity tool, not something to obsess over. Interrupt doomscrolling when it fuels emotion but doesn't move you toward action. Ask: “What matters beyond this quarter/year?” to reset leadership priorities. Prepare for “mini-deaths” (role changes, endings) with intentional transitions. In grief, don't force mortality awareness—first allow the loss to be held with compassion.

Lately, I've noticed something tender surfacing in conversations with women my age — a quiet awareness of mortality. When someone around us passes, especially unexpectedly, it can stir fear, questions, and a deeper reflection on our own lives. In this episode, I'm opening up about mortality anxiety and the emotions that come with realizing time isn't limitless. Not from a place of fear, but from a place of honesty. Together, we'll explore what it means to live fully in the face of uncertainty. How do we shift from “what if something happens?” to “how do I want to live right now?” If you've been feeling a little more reflective lately, this episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and gently reconnect with what truly matters — your presence, your power of choice, and the life you're actively building today.

This episode of Retire with Style features Alex Murguia and Wade Pfau discussing the role of annuities in retirement planning, drawing from Wade's Retirement Planning Guidebook. They examine the purpose of annuities, the primary arguments for and against their use, and the key types available. The conversation also emphasizes how annuities align with different retirement income styles and broader income strategies. Wade explains core concepts such as mortality credits and the distinctions between fixed and variable annuities, offering a clear framework for evaluating whether and how annuities may fit into a retirement plan. Listen now to learn more!   Takeaways Annuities are tools that fit well with certain retirement income styles. They provide guaranteed lifetime income through risk pooling. Arguments against annuities often stem from viewing them as investments rather than income tools. Annuities can have high fees, especially variable annuities. Mortality credits allow for higher spending in retirement. Fixed annuities provide principal protection, while variable annuities do not. The RISA helps identify which retirement income style fits an individual. Annuities can be compared to bonds, not stocks, for retirement planning. Understanding the different types of annuities is crucial for effective planning. Annuities can be used for tax deferral, but not in tax-deferred accounts.

Death is something we all face, yet it's one of the least talked-about subjects in everyday life.In this episode, the team opens up an honest, thoughtful conversation about death, grief, and mortality. From sudden loss and fear, to the way becoming a parent reshapes how you see life, to stoic philosophy and the idea of memento mori, remembering that we will die. This discussion explores why death feels so uncomfortable and how facing it can actually bring clarity, gratitude, and meaning.The conversation also touches on legacy, how we live on through others, cultural approaches to grief, and why reflecting on mortality can help us prioritise what truly matters, without being morbid.This episode isn't about fear. It's about perspective, connection, and making the most of the time we have.CHAPTERS00:00 – Why We Avoid Talking About DeathWhy this conversation matters and what death can teach us about living02:00 – Personal Experiences With Loss & FearHow often we think about death and the moments that shape that relationship05:00 – Perspective: Does This Really Matter?Using mortality to reframe stress, conflict, and everyday worries07:45 – Family, Love & GratitudeHow thinking about death changes how we show up for the people we love11:00 – Grief, Meaning & Memento MoriRemembering mortality as a way to find meaning, not fear14:45 – If You Knew Your Time Was LimitedHow priorities, actions, and values shift when time feels finite18:30 – Legacy: How We Live On Through OthersPassing values, essence, and influence beyond our own lifetime21:45 – Final Reflections: Living Well NowHow talking about death can help us live fuller, richer lives

In this Ash Wednesday devotion, we encounter a woman who poured out a year's wages in perfume on Jesus. It was an act others called wasteful, but Jesus called beautiful. As we begin Lent by confronting our mortality and sin with ashes, we're reminded that though we deserve dust, Jesus paid the ultimate cost so death wouldn't get the final word—He does.Series Summary: The religious leaders at the cross hurled a challenge at Jesus: “Let this Messiah, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” They demanded proof before faith. But the Gospel of Mark, especially in its story of the Passion, invites us into a different reality: believing in order to see. From the anointing at Bethany to the silent emptiness of the tomb, Jesus' journey subverts our expectations. The one hailed as king is crowned with thorns. The one with power to calm storms submits to arrest. The consistent, sure thread through the chaos is his Word. As the angel at the tomb reminded the trembling women, “He is going ahead of you…just as he told you.” As we study through Mark's Passion, we are invited to follow Jesus—not by sight, but by faith in his sure and leading Word.Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

Welcome back to the podcast where you supply the questions, and we bravely refuse to look at them before hitting record. Truly, we like to live on the edge.Each episode, we attempt, with varying degrees of success, to bring an environmental twist to whatever you throw at us. Sometimes it fits beautifully, sometimes it's like trying to compost a bowling ball.And when the stars align, we even suggest actions you can take. Other times, the actions just sort of tumble out naturally as we talk.Either way, we've got two fresh listener questions today, and we're diving in completely unprepared, just how you like us.Grzegorz from Opole, Poland asks - “Can love exist without God?”Stuart points out that people love turning big questions into neat little either/or boxes, when the real answer is usually “well… it depends.” He muses that some ideas can happily exist without God, others seem to lean on belief, and multiple truths can coexist without exploding.William mentions a friend whose faith genuinely fuels their life. Fair enough.Stuart then asks the classic philosopher's grenade: “If we don't even know what love is, how do we know it exists at all?”William offers a warmer take. Love as an acceptance, caring, presence, even being moved by a tree or a dog.Stuart wonders if belief in God shapes belief in love, or vice versa, and why the two get tangled.He asks for five words for love; William gives compassion, caring, kindness, truthfulness, and touch, physical or emotional.Stuart notes that picking five related words is a handy way to pin down slippery concepts.James from Ecclefechan, Scotland sets the next question - “Does “good death” exist?”Stuart kicks things off by saying life is basically one long rehearsal for a “good death.” Not the quick, painless kind people fantasise about, but the kind that reflects how you actually lived. Very cheerful stuff. He also insists nothing is ever truly an object, everything's just a process pretending to sit still.William adds that death is happening constantly anyway; our cells are quietly retiring one by one because our bodies aren't great at photocopying themselves.Stuart doubles down: death isn't a single moment, it's a whole ongoing saga, whether you believe in reincarnation, cosmic recycling, or just the compost heap. And if you want a meaningful ending, maybe don't leave all your emotional admin for your final five minutes.William, ever the realist, says death is unavoidable and comes in two flavours: your own, and the moment the last person who remembers you forgets. Some people, your Genghis Khans, your Caesars, stick around in memory. Meanwhile, entire armies of former US presidents have quietly slipped off the mental bookshelf.What do you make of this discussion? Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?

Mortality, repentance, and grace…

Change is...uncomfortable. It's extra-uncomfy when you know you're changing, but you don't know what you're changing into and you're just stuck hanging out in the middle. You know what I mean?

This episode explores tadalafil (Cialis) as a potential longevity drug, though no randomized human trials prove it extends lifespan. Cialis works by blocking PDE5, enhancing nitric oxide signaling, and improving blood flow through vasodilation. Originally approved for pulmonary hypertension, it's also used for erectile dysfunction and BPH. Its 36-hour half-life makes it superior to Viagra for continuous longevity effects.   The host frames vascular aging and endothelial dysfunction as key drivers of age-related diseases (heart disease, stroke, dementia, kidney disease). Observational data shows Cialis users have 44% lower mortality, fewer cardiovascular events, reduced dementia risk, and lower mortality in diabetics. Additional benefits include improved cardiac function, reduced infarct size, arrhythmia suppression, and regression of left ventricular hypertrophy. A 2024 meta-analysis found it lowers hemoglobin A1C, possibly via improved microvascular perfusion, insulin sensitivity, and mitochondrial function.   Cialis crosses the blood-brain barrier and may improve neurovascular coupling and hippocampal plasticity, potentially benefiting those with or at risk of dementia. Safety is generally good with long-term daily use (2.5–5 mg), though cautions include avoiding use with nitrates, low blood pressure, or certain retinal disorders. Common side effects are headache, nasal congestion, and acid reflux. The host recommends consulting a doctor and references potential synergy with telmisartan.   Tadalafil (Cialis) — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a604008.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a604008.html) Sildenafil (Viagra) — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a699015.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a699015.html)   Key mechanisms mentioned Nitric Oxide (NO) — NCBI Bookshelf: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK554485/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK554485/) Cyclic GMP (cGMP) — NCBI Bookshelf: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK542234/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK542234/)   Conditions mentioned in the episode Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — MedlinePlus: [https://medlineplus.gov/benignprostatichyperplasia.html](https://medlineplus.gov/benignprostatichyperplasia.html) Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) — MedlinePlus: [https://medlineplus.gov/pulmonaryhypertension.html](https://medlineplus.gov/pulmonaryhypertension.html)   Blood pressure drug mentioned Telmisartan — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601249.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601249.html)   Other longevity / comparison drugs mentioned Metformin — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a696005.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a696005.html) Sirolimus (Rapamycin) — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a602026.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a602026.html)   Side-effect helper mentioned Ibuprofen (Advil) — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682159.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682159.html)   Dementia meds mentioned Donepezil (Aricept) — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a697032.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a697032.html) Amantadine — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682064.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682064.html)   Lab markers mentioned Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test — MedlinePlus lab test: [https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/hemoglobin-a1c-hba1c-test/](https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/hemoglobin-a1c-hba1c-test/) Insulin in blood test — MedlinePlus lab test: [https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/insulin-in-blood/](https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/insulin-in-blood/)   People referenced (where the claims were mentioned) Huberman Lab (Dr. Andrew Huberman) — site: [https://www.hubermanlab.com/](https://www.hubermanlab.com/) Clip about low-dose tadalafil (2.5–5mg) — X post: [https://x.com/tbpn/status/2022350426394534334](https://x.com/tbpn/status/2022350426394534334) Bryan Johnson (Blueprint) — site: [https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/](https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/) Dr. David Sinclair (Harvard profile) — site: [https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/people/david-sinclair](https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/people/david-sinclair)   Show Notes   00:00 Welcome to the Hart2Heart Podcast. 01:56 What Cialis Is: PDE5 Inhibition, cGMP & Nitric Oxide Explained 03:43 Approved Uses & Origin Story: Pulmonary Hypertension, ED, and BPH 05:33 Why Cialis Over Viagra: 36-Hour Half-Life & 24/7 Vascular Benefits 06:52 Vascular Aging 101: Endothelium, Perfusion, and Why It Drives Disease 11:14 What the Human Data Shows: Observational Evidence for Mortality, CVD & Dementia 13:04 Mechanisms Deep Dive: Heart Protection, Heart Failure, and Anti-Atherosclerosis 15:02 Cialis for Diabetics: Lowering A1C and Improving Insulin Sensitivity 16:21 Brain Effects: Blood–Brain Barrier, Neurovascular Coupling & Dementia Potential 18:21 Safety, Who Should Avoid It, and Daily Longevity Dosing (2.5–5 mg) + Wrap-Up   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

Neil interviews Darin Deaton, a physical therapist, entrepreneur, and rancher. Darin shares his shift from pre-med toward PT after observing an independent practice owner's lifestyle, his education at Texas Woman's University, and juggling full-time work with graduate school. He describes learning business through an early partnership, then launching his own clinic using SBA financing and a $60,000 investor check that enabled a 1998 seven-figure exit. Darin later built and sold a seven-location Fort Worth PT group (sold in 2024) and runs DPT Therapy. They discuss Deaton Ranch Beef, regenerative ranching, raising Achi/Red Wagyu over Angus, local food systems, health pillars, aging and muscle loss, faith, integrity, and "Make America Grit Again."

In December 2025, former US Senator Ben Sasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this far-reaching conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short. Sasse reflects on “redeeming the time”—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life. The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance. Sasse speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word.

In this episode, Dr. Madeline O'Sullivan discusses her retrospective study of U.S. veterans in the Veterans Health Administration, examining outcomes among patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancer. She explains how the cohorts were defined, how use and timing of immunosuppressive therapies were analyzed, and how mortality and cause of death were determined. Dr. O'Sullivan summarizes the patient population, cancer types represented, and key findings on survival differences between RA and non-RA groups, as well as insights from secondary analyses and important study limitations. She also reflects on balancing research with clinical training, the mentorship that supported her work, lessons learned, and practical advice for trainees aiming to complete and publish research projects. 

This study analyzes over 2,600 transthyretin V142I variant carriers in the Million Veteran Program and finds significantly elevated risks of heart failure, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, neuropathy, and musculoskeletal complications compared with matched controls. Despite these risks, amyloidosis was rarely diagnosed clinically, underscoring major gaps in recognition and the need for earlier identification and multidisciplinary intervention.

What if exercise isn't for weight loss?In this episode of Becoming Thin, I sit down with a woman who lost 95 pounds… and didn't stop there. She went from feeling postpartum, overwhelmed, depressed, and nearly 240 pounds to completing 100-mile ultramarathons.But this is not an episode about running.It's about identity.We talk about what happens when you stop using exercise to punish your body and start using it to care for it. We unpack why running alone won't make you thin, why it often makes you hungrier, and how reframing movement can completely change your relationship with food.She shares how she went “cold turkey” into keto and intermittent fasting, lost 95 pounds in a year, then faced carb fear when she reintroduced balance for marathon training. She gained some weight back — and didn't panic. We discuss maintenance as awareness, not obsession, and thinking in seasons instead of days.We also dive into mom guilt, modeling strength for your kids, the fear of regaining weight, and the mindset required to walk through the “pain cave” — those moments when you want to quit.This episode is about learning to keep promises to yourself.It's about meeting yourself in hard moments.It's about realizing that wanting to quit isn't the crime — quitting is.If you've ever felt stuck, afraid of gaining it back, or unsure whether you're “that kind of person,” this conversation will help you think differently.And new thinking creates new results.Listen for the mindset.

Send a textIn this segment, Ben and Daphna review a retrospective study from the Hospital for Sick Children comparing outcomes of therapeutic hypothermia in late preterm (34-35 weeks) versus early term (36-37 weeks) infants. They discuss the significantly higher rates of mortality, hemodynamic instability, and hypoglycemia found in the younger cohort, known as "Group 1". The hosts explore the implications of using MRI scoring systems like the Weeke score for preterm brains and debate the ethical challenges of conducting future randomized trials as clinical practice shifts away from cooling younger babies based on emerging retrospective data.----Whole-body hypothermia in late preterm and early term infants: a retrospective analysis from a neurocritical care unit.

How pig mortality directly impacts US competitiveness and why productivity gaps matter far beyond individual farms. What global benchmarking data shows about how the US compares to countries like Brazil and why mortality is a major driver. How PRRS continues to play a significant role in lost productivity and why its true economic impact is likely underestimated. Why biosecurity failures are usually tied to everyday processes, not rare events or one time mistakes. How identifying, prioritizing, and monitoring biosecurity risks matters more than debating rules like downtime length.

In this episode, Kris shares a personal update following his recent car accident and ongoing recovery from a concussion. In a season marked by limitation, rest, and vulnerability, he reflects on what it means to live in the “shallow end” of life — and how being confronted with our mortality can become an unexpected gift.From that deeply personal place, Kris invites us into the season of Lent. In a culture that teaches us to feast constantly, Lent calls us to something different: intentional restraint, wilderness, and honest acknowledgment of our need for mercy. This is not a season of self-improvement or spiritual performance. It is a time to make space — to fast in order to feast, to pull back so that Easter joy can truly feel like joy.Throughout Lent, Trinity will journey through the Psalms — the prayer book of God's people — allowing their language to shape our own prayers, repentance, longing, and hope.At the end of the episode, Kids & Youth Discipleship Pastor David McCune offers practical encouragement for families, including creative ways to practice Lent with children, celebrate Sundays as mini-Easters, and create simple devotional rhythms at home.Wherever you are — eager, exhausted, distracted, hopeful — you are invited. Let's walk this road together.Learn more at atltrinity.org/lent.

Are you living your most authentic life?Mortality has a way of cutting through noise. My friend, Cara, and I open season three with Alua Arthur's memoir Briefly Perfectly Human and ask how getting real about death can help us live with more honesty, tenderness, and courage today. Cara shares first-hand insights from death doula training, and together we map the terrain so many of us avoid: grief that won't be rushed, hard choices families face, and the practical steps that turn love into action at the end of life. If these questions (the same ones many contemplate on their death beds) stir something in you: Who did I love? How did I love? Was I loved?... you're in the right place!

In this solo episode, Dani breaks down how divide-and-conquer operations actually work—from NGO funding pipelines and philanthropic power to narrative change, activist training, and AI-driven propaganda. She also explores why outrage cycles around immigration, social justice, and politics are engineered to fracture human solidarity, how language itself programs physiological limitation and degeneration, and why integrity, frequency, and self-advocacy matter more than ever in a manipulated reality.

George Saunders is one of America's most celebrated writers. His worlds and characters often live in a reality just beyond or behind our own, and his latest novel “Vigil,” is no exception. The novel opens with an angel falling to earth with the task of comforting an unrepentant oil tycoon in his final hours alive. What spills forth from this zany setup is a comic novel about climate change, personal responsibility, and the kind of honesty that matters most.

This episode dives into swine mortality trends, sharing both U.S. and international data to understand the scope of pig survivability challenges. Rachel Johnson, technical account and production support lead at MetaFarms and Dr. Derald Holtkamp, professor at Iowa State University, join the podcast highlighting factors influencing mortality, including market pig prices, feed, productivity, and disease pressures.

In this episode of The Yoga Inspiration Podcast, Kino MacGregor sits down with hospital chaplain, writer, and grief expert J.S. Park for a deeply grounding conversation about grief, presence, and what it means to live with an open heart in a world that can feel overwhelming. They explore why grief is not something to fix or overcome, but something to honor, carry, and let transform over time. Kino reflects on communal grief in the Ashtanga world after the loss of a spiritual teacher, and J.S. offers compassionate insight into why we reach for solutions, why closure can be a myth, and how grief changes shape rather than disappearing. Together they talk about treasured objects and rituals as anchors when words fail, the ways spirituality and community can either support or collapse under real-world suffering, and how spiritual practice must include our shared humanity and collective responsibility. J.S. also shares his path from atheism toward faith through witnessing love in community, and they unpack the tension between the teachings of Jesus and the harm done in the name of religion. This episode is for anyone holding loss, navigating a crisis of faith, feeling exhausted by "move on" culture, or looking for a spiritual practice that helps you show up with tenderness and integrity. Guest: J.S. Park is a hospital chaplain, writer, and grief educator. He is the author of As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve. Topics covered • Grief as something to honor, not solve • Why "closure" is not the goal and grief changes shape • Grieving the dream, not just the person • Treasured objects and ritual as grief anchors • When words fail and the role of art, music, and practice • Faith crises and spiritual seasons • From atheism to faith through love and community • Spiritual practice, justice, and resisting dehumanization • Boundaries, self care, and what actually sustains us • Mortality as an invitation to live more tenderly, now Resources As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve by J.S.
