If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the state of the planet or wondered whether meaningful change is still possible, this episode will lift your spirit and strengthen your hope. In one of the most inspiring conversations yet, John Merkus sits down with Tim Christophersen, a global leader in climate action, to explore how nature heals, how humans can rebuild our relationship with the planet, and why optimism is not naive but necessary. John guides this conversation with warmth, humility, and an energising sense of possibility. His thoughtful questions help uncover rich insights that move the mind and the heart. ✨ Episode Highlights In this uplifting conversation, you'll hear:

Filmmaker and N8RLND founder Pieter van den Braak joins the Internet of Nature Podcast for a walk through Eindhoven's Philips de Jonghpark—a city park dense enough to feel like a pocket forest. Pieter shares how, during a period of feeling unmoored in his early twenties, nature became the one place that offered clarity, calm, and a sense of belonging he couldn't find anywhere else.We talk about the quiet drift into burnout, why awe can reset an overwhelmed mind, and how “microdosing nature” for five minutes a day can shift the tone of an entire morning. Pieter explains how this personal turning point led him to build N8RLND, a media platform designed to counter doomscroll culture with films and stories that reconnect people to the living world.Along the way, we explore why solitude in nature feels different from loneliness, how simple outdoor rituals can anchor mental health, and why, as Pieter puts it, “you don't need to know anything about nature to feel part of it.”

In this episode of the 10Adventures podcast, we are joined by Chris Finch, author of Wild Cities, about the critical role nature plays in modern urban life — and how cities around the world are finding simple, innovative ways to reconnect people with the outdoors. Chris explains key concepts from the book, including biophilia, the human need for nature, and homo urbanus, the rapid shift to city living that has reshaped our daily experience over the last century. Together, they explore inspiring examples from cities across the globe: Japan's research on nature and stress, Nairobi's challenges with “biophobia,” Singapore's groundbreaking green buildings, Medellín's wildlife corridors, Barcelona's superblocks and BC Buses, and more. This conversation shows how nature isn't a luxury — it's a necessity that improves health, happiness, safety, and even biodiversity. And importantly, many of the most effective solutions are low-cost, scalable, and already transforming cities today.

Go out, to nature, to streets, it nourishes - tourist at home blablabla Oakland, CA

Send us a textHello everyone, I'm your host of Nature and Science Podcast, Don Murphy.  In the episode I am interviewed by our producer, Anna Murphy to discuss, how my two time failure in chemistry ultimately led to the founding of Ky'Orda. The mission of Ky'Orda is to eliminate the fear and failure in learning complex subjects for everyone by creating an education app with a personal guide that uses behavioral science and adaptive technology.  I think many of you out there can identify with failing a subject and feeling like you didn't measure up or at the worse you were not smart.  You may have even abandoned a subject before you even got a chance to explore its adventures and discoveries.  The guided app I will talk about is creating an entirely new world and may ultimately change the way education in done worldwide.  So join us this next episode and be amazed.https:/natureandsciencepodcast.com

Need drives technology development. A silent force slowing the development of a technology is often a lack of need. In a colony where there is a need for tech that can make computers with local and limited resources, new tech arises, utilizing DNA engineering.A boy takes computers from emulated personality dolls and networks them to make a super computer. Bio engineers make a new kind of vine that aggressively takes over the landscape for kilometers around. They make a computer that runs on little power and grows stronger by the day.

Today on The Two Mikes, we welcomed back Mr. Tim James, who is also known as the “Heath Hero.” Mr. James, as always stresses, that health comes from nature, and people who do separate from nature, unfortunate heath results eventually will be the order the day. Leaving nature is seldom a clear and thought-through decision. It's a process that is yielded by what seems to be readiness of people to continue eating chemical-ridden processed foods as the core of their diet. Mr. James reported that the cost of these processed foods currently is the daily deaths of 4,300 Americans. Recognizing the danger of these kinds of food are essential, and a constant effort by all people to avoid the consumption of these chemical-treated foods is the first step on the road to health. Mr. James also suggested that all people undertake another step that will physically return them to a life in even more directly connected to nature. On this point, he spoke about the need for individuals to regain a connection to the earth, a process that is popularly called “earthing” or “grounding” which consists in making physical contact with the earth, thereby attaining the untold benefits of the earth's vibrations. Simply walking barefoot over your own lawn, for example, is a start. To understand this issue, Mr. James drew attention to a YouTube video named “Earthing: The Movie”. To top-off all of the foregoing, Mr. James said that perhaps the best first step for people is to recognize that the phrase that claims that failing health “is due to the fact that you are growing old” is pure “crap”. Much more on Mr. James thought, products, and information leading to a healthier and longer health is easily available at his Website: https://www.chemicalfreebody.com and on his podcast “Tim James Unleashed”.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is an American tradition. It's been going since 1924. This year marks the 99th parade (it took three years off during World War II). It's famous for elaborate floats and huge character balloons that bob above the streets as the parade marches forward. Millions of people watch the parade live in New York City each year, but many many more watch it on TV. And some of you have questions! How do they make such big balloons for the parade and how do they choose which characters to feature? And how do they hold onto the balloons with such tiny strings? And, more generally, how do balloons float? What's helium got to do with it? But Why visits the Macy's Studio workshop in New Jersey to see how the magic happens!Download our learning guides: PDF | Google Slide

Jordan Bush joins the show to explore the profound parallels between God, truth, and Bitcoin. They discuss why Bitcoin mirrors divine order, how proof-of-work reflects proof of creation, and why honesty in money aligns with spiritual integrity. Together, they examine the intersection of theology, sovereignty, and self-custody—arguing that Bitcoin may be the closest thing humanity has to a universal language of truth. Jordan Bush is a Bitcoin thinker, theologian, and author focused on the philosophical and spiritual implications of sound money. // GUEST // X: https://x.com/jordanbushbtc Website: https://www.jordanbush.co/ // SPONSORS // Cowbolt: https://cowbolt.com/ Heart and Soil Supplements (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://heartandsoil.co/ Blockware Solutions: https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com Onramp: https://onrampbitcoin.com/?grsf=breedlove Mindlab Pro: https://www.mindlabpro.com/breedlove Coinbits: https://coinbits.app/breedlove The Farm at Okefenokee: https://okefarm.com/ Orange Pill App: https://www.orangepillapp.com/ // PRODUCTS I ENDORSE // Protect your mobile phone from SIM swap attacks: https://www.efani.com/breedlove Lineage Provisions (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://lineageprovisions.com/?ref=breedlove Colorado Craft Beef (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://coloradocraftbeef.com/ Salt of the Earth Electrolytes: http://drinksote.com/breedlove Jawzrsize (code RobertBreedlove for 20% off): https://jawzrsize.com // UNLOCK THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD'S BEST NON-FICTION BOOKS // https://course.breedlove.io/ // SUBSCRIBE TO THE CLIPS CHANNEL // /@robertbreedloveclips2996 // TIMESTAMPS // 0:00 - WiM Episode Trailer 0:52 - The Relationship Between God and Truth 3:27 - The Divine Order Reflected in Bitcoin 7:16 - Why Proof-of-Work Mirrors Creation 10:42 - Faith, Integrity, and Hard Money 13:58 - Cowbolt: Settle in Bitcoin 15:14 - Heart and Soil Supplements 16:10 - The Theology of Energy and Value 20:33 - Bitcoin as a Moral Mirror 25:42 - Onramp Bitcoin Custody 26:47 - Mine Bitcoin with Blockware Solutions 27:55 - Is Bitcoin Proof of God? 33:41 - Mind Lab Pro Supplements 34:48 - How Fiat Corrupts Human Nature 40:25 - The Nature of Evil and False Idols 46:30 - Truth, Sacrifice, and Self-Custody 51:15 - Buy Bitcoin with Coinbits 52:24 - The Farm at Okefenokee 53:29 - Why Fiat is the Ultimate Lie 59:47 - Orange Pill App 1:00:14 - Bitcoin as Divine Resistance 1:06:32 - Free Will, Faith, and Responsibility 1:10:08 - Building a Life Anchored in Truth 1:15:19 - Closing Reflections on God and Money 1:18:44 - Efani: Protect Yourself From SIM Swaps 1:19:51 - Unlock the Wisdom of the Best Non-Fiction Books // PODCAST // Podcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast… Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8… RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYI // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Bitcoin: 3D1gfxKZKMtfWaD1bkwiR6JsDzu6e9bZQ7 Sats via Strike: https://strike.me/breedlove22 Dollars via Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/RBreedlove Dollars via Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Br… // SOCIAL // Breedlove X: https://x.com/Breedlove22 WiM?

Mark Leach is guest-host for today's episode, sharing portions from his weekly radio show, Ecotopia Soon! Mark is a retired conservation biologist, activist, and a Quaker, and his perspective is that we are all in a leaky canoe together; we need to change our thinking to reach the safe shore of Ecotopia, where we treat Nature as our only life support system & we treat each other with respect.

Our economy is embedded in nature, but nature is in danger. External funding is needed, especially in the Global South, to support the conservation of our natural ecosystems. Markets can play a role, but the way in which voluntary carbon markets do this has low public trust which, from recent news, may be deserved. Estelle Cantillon of Université libre de Bruxelles and CEPR tells Tim Phillips about her proposal for a new market mechanism to channel funds to projects that will conserve or restore our natural environment by paying dividends to those who invest. But how will it avoid greenwashing, and who will buy the shares? Read about this in Chapter 8 of the Paris report: https://cepr.org/system/files/publication-files/257653-policy_insight_145_designing_and_scaling_up_nature_based_markets.pdf

Send us a textIn this inspiring episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, host Angela Nicholson chats with photographer and ocean advocate Rebecca Douglas about the power of visual storytelling and its role in creating real-world change. Rebecca shares how her background in geography and marine resource management shaped her approach to photography and how she uses her images to inspire curiosity, build connection and amplify environmental causes.From her early career in wedding photography to her work documenting the natural world and the people protecting it, Rebecca's journey is a powerful example of following your instincts and letting purpose guide your path. She talks about the importance of being visible as a creative woman and how sharing your own story can be a form of activism in itself.Angela and Rebecca also explore the responsibility photographers have when working in wild and remote locations and how to balance the drive to capture compelling imagery with respect for nature and the environment.Whether she's on a wind-blasted cliff photographing seabirds or working with charities like Whale Wise, Rebecca puts storytelling at the heart of everything she does. It's a candid, thoughtful conversation that's full of honesty and insight, and a reminder that photography isn't just about the picture — it's about the message behind it.TakeawaysStorytelling can be a powerful force for change, especially when used to raise awareness about environmental and social issues.Your background doesn't define your future - it's never too late to follow your passion or shift into work with deeper purpose.Authenticity attracts the right people - showing up as yourself in your work helps you connect with clients and audiences who value what you do.Nature is a collaborator, not just a subject - working in wild environments means respecting the elements and understanding your place within them.You don't have to do everything - focusing your energy on one cause or area of interest allows you to make more meaningful impact.Photography is more than images - it's about the message behind the picture and the story it tells long after the shutter clicks.Connect with RebeccaWebsiteInstagramFacebookYouTubeLinkedInFujifilmThis podcast is supported by Fujifilm, one of the best-known photography brands in the world.

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism. Today's episode reflects on a line from Seneca's Consolation to Helvia, written while he was exiled on the island of Corsica. In this letter to his mother, he tries to steady her grief, and perhaps his own, with a reminder of what truly satisfies the human spirit: “Greed is satisfied by nothing, but nature finds satisfaction even in scant measures.”Seneca, Consolation to Helvia, 10Seneca's point is simple but piercing. Greed is never about what you have; it is always about what is missing. The moment you chase fulfillment in externals, the finish line moves. Nature, in contrast, asks little. It finds sufficiency in the present moment, in the fact that you are alive, thinking, choosing. What Seneca is offering here is a lesson in the Stoic principle of desire: when you want what the moment actually gives you, you stop feeling deprived.This teaching echoes Epictetus, who reminds us that trouble begins when we demand reality to be other than it is. Marcus Aurelius writes that the wise person “follows nature willingly,” aligning inner choices with the structure of the world. All three are pointing to the same truth within the Stoic disciplines.Desire: Want only what is in your control.Assent: Don't believe the story that “more” will finally make you complete.Action: Use whatever this moment gives you as material for virtue.When greed falls away, what remains is clarity, the sense that nothing essential is missing from this moment, because the only real good is the way you choose to meet it.In everyday life, this means noticing when your mind starts reaching into the future for something it says you “need” before you can feel at ease. It means returning to the present long enough to see what is already supporting you. And it means treating difficult moments not as interruptions but as invitations to practice strength, gratitude, and presence. When you train this mindset, satisfaction comes not from abundance but from alignment.For more, check out this related article with quotes on desire and letting go of externals:https://viastoica.com/how-to-practice-the-stoic-discipline-desire/And if you're looking for more Stoic sayings, visit viastoica.com, where you'll find hundreds of quotes with full references to the original texts:https://viastoica.com/stoic-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/marcus-aurelius-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/epictetus-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/seneca-quotesMake sure to subscribe for more Stoic Quotes episodes every Friday, as well as our Tuesday interviews and longer discussions.Support the showhttps://viastoica.comhttps://viastoica.com/stoic-life-coachinghttps://viastoica.com/benny-vonckenhttps://x.com/ViaStoicainfo@viastoica.comProduced by: badmic.com

Just thinking about itching can make you start to scratch — but there's a reason for that. Scratching triggers a powerful neurological loop called the itch-scratch cycle, which can actually make the problem worse. Listen as I explain what's really happening in your brain and skin when that irresistible urge strikes to scratch that itch. https://www.news-medical.net/health/Scratching-the-Surface-Uncovering-the-Neurological-Mystery-of-Itch.aspx? We all speak secret languages — whether we realize it or not. Families, professions, and social groups develop their own slang, codes, and private phrases that only make sense to insiders. From kitchen slang in restaurants and bars to cryptic police radio chatter, these hidden languages are everywhere. My guest Ben Schott, author of Schott's Significa: A Miscellany of Secret Languages (https://amzn.to/3LdTmqg), uncovers where these coded words come from, how they evolve, and what they reveal about belonging and identity. The changing seasons bring obvious signs — leaves turning, snow falling, flowers blooming — but nature also changes in ways most of us never notice. The color of sunsets, the murkiness of rivers, even the speed at which days lengthen or shorten all follow astonishing seasonal patterns. Tristan Gooley, author of The Hidden Seasons: A Calendar of Nature's Clues (https://amzn.to/4ohNNpu), takes us on a fascinating journey through these overlooked natural shifts and shows how to read the signs of the changing world around us. Finally, the humble banana — praised by some as a perfect health food and shunned by others for its sugar and carbs — gets a scientific verdict. I'll share what nutrition research really says about bananas and whether you should eat more of them… or less. https://time.com/4017962/banana-nutrition/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

Bearded vultures build giant, elaborate nests that are passed down from generation to generation. And according to a new study, some of these scavengers have collected bits and bobs of human history over the course of centuries. Scientists picked apart 12 vulture nests preserved in Spain and discovered a museum collection's worth of objects, including a woven sandal that could be more than 700 years old.  Host Flora Lichtman talks with study author Ana Belen Marín-Arroyo, an archaeologist who studies ancient humans, about how the nests are giving us a glimpse into vulture culture as well as the lives of the people they lived beside.Guest: Dr. Ana Belen Marín-Arroyo is an archaeologist and professor of prehistory at the University of Cantabria in Spain.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

The Bible did not appear by chance but was divinely orchestrated by God, whose wisdom ensured that His Word would stand as an indisputable authority through the ages. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss how Scripture was formed, explaining that man did not grant the Bible's authority. Many believe the Bible was compiled centuries later by human decision, but in reality, its authority was immediate, and its recognition only confirmed what was already divine. Recognizing the Bible's authority is crucial because it affirms that it is free from error or contradiction, providing everything believers need for their walk with Christ. Unlike the constantly changing nature of science, the message of the Bible stays the same, bringing order where the world brings chaos.The Old Testament was confirmed with its three main divisions—the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings—by 132 BC. Josephus referenced twenty-two sacred books, and by 430 BC, around the time of Malachi, the Old Testament was considered complete. The Apocrypha was later added by the Catholic Church, but not as part of the confirmed canon. Although the original manuscripts no longer exist, Mark emphasizes how scribes took meticulous care in copying the texts, ensuring accuracy through precise measures. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls further demonstrated the reliability of Scripture, showing only minor differences that never changed the meaning.Jesus Himself affirmed the Old Testament, and the apostles understood that their own writings carried divine authority. Just as God made covenants in the Old Testament, Jesus established a new covenant, which required new writings. The apostles, guided by the Holy Spirit, recorded teachings that matched Christ's promise to bring His words to mind. The detailed genealogies and honest portrayals of flawed heroes throughout scripture attest to the truthfulness of the writers' accounts. God's Word does not hide human failure but shows how He fulfills His perfect plan through imperfect people.The early church used clear and consistent standards to identify which writings belonged in Scripture. As authentic writings circulated among believers, false ones were naturally rejected. Scripture is described as God-breathed, meaning it comes from Him and has His authority. It is useful for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness, providing everything necessary for faith and life. The Bible remains a trustworthy revelation from the living God, divinely inspired and unchanging, guiding believers to the truth and grounding them in the gospel.Send us a textThanks for listening!

In this solo episode, Darin reframes one of the most misunderstood forces in life — stress. Instead of seeing it as the enemy, he explores how stress is actually a messenger, guiding you back to alignment, safety, and awareness. Through science, spirituality, and lived experience, Darin breaks down how stress shows us where we're trying to control, where we're disconnected, and where our nervous system is calling for attention. He unpacks the layers of modern stress — from trauma and environment to community and purpose — and offers practical, embodied tools to restore calm, clarity, and resilience.     What You'll Learn 00:00:00 – Welcome to Super Life: Solutions for a Healthier Life and Better World 00:00:32 – Sponsor Spotlight: TheraSauna - Natural Healing Technologies (15% off with code Darrandai) 00:02:10 – The Super Life Podcast: Finding Contentment, Happiness, and Purpose 00:02:51 – Today's Topic: Stress - Reframing Stress as an Ally and Dashboard Light 00:04:54 – The "No Choice" Universe: Reconnecting to Infinite Possibilities 00:05:16 – The Reality of Stress: Statistics and the Impact of Chronic Stress 00:06:21 – Stress is Layered: Beyond a Single Cause, Addressing Chronic Stress 00:08:29 – Solutions for a Super Life: Safety over Calm and the Vagal Response 00:09:38 – The Inner Dialogue Layer: Trauma, Unconsciousness, and Spiritual Bypassing 00:11:47 – The Social Field Layer: Relationships, Community, and Finding Your Way Home 00:14:20 – Sponsor Spotlight: Bite Toothpaste - Sustainable, Non-Toxic Tabs (20% off with code Darin20) 00:16:35 – Creating Your Own Vision: Setting Boundaries with Media and Social Algorithms 00:17:29 – Finding Your Purpose: From Raising Children to Healing Injuries 00:18:35 – Environmental and Existential Stress Layers: Clutter, Noise, and Service 00:19:26 – Stress Load and Resiliency: Why Small Triggers Cause Blow-Ups 00:20:02 – Understanding the Dashboard Light: Acknowledging Unwillingness 00:20:35 – Safety as the Signal: Body Relaxation and Providing Inner Security 00:23:44 – Reframing Trauma: Was it the Protector You Needed at the Time? 00:25:00 – Releasing Trauma: Techniques, The Healing Code, and Waking the Tiger 00:26:06 – Finishing the Survival Response: Shaking, Crying, Screaming, and Stretching 00:26:38 – Stress as a Multiplier: Impact on Immune System, Heart, and Aging 00:28:10 – Stress Slows Repair: Inflammation, Cardiovascular Risk, and Cellular Aging 00:29:48 – The Integrative Approach: Changing Your Environments to Support Anti-Stress 00:30:07 – Actionable Stress Solutions: Circadian Rhythm, Nature, and Noise Reduction 00:30:44 – Actionable Stress Solutions: Gratitude, Conscious Breath, and Movement 00:31:32 – Energy Drains to Eliminate: Conflict, Clutter, Scrolling, and Late Caffeine 00:32:17 – Connecting to Greater Purpose: The Super Life Patreon Platform 00:32:54 – Morning/Night Questions: Letting Go, Creating, and Contributing 00:33:17 – Final Toolkit: Slow Breathing, Movement, Nature, Sauna, and Sleep 00:34:25 – The Invitation: Digging into all Layers of a Super Life on Patreon   Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

Lara J. Day, author & teacher, joins this episode to discuss the transformative effects of Neurogenic Qigong.  Lara will take our audience through the sacred practice of the 13 Holy Nights to discover the deeper meaning of the quickly approaching winter solstice.  Discover how ancient traditions and modern healing methods come together to help us realign with the season's rhythms. Lara created The 13 Sacred Nights Oracle Deck to reveal the deeper meaning behind the winter holidays, and provide a guide to turning inward. The ancient Winter Solstice practice teaches us to align with cosmic cycles and the rhythms of Nature in order to discover our own inner light and the true gifts of the season of darkness. Dive into the potent stillness within the womb of winter and plant your dream seeds in the fertile soil of the radiant darkness! Lara's vocation as a movement guide began in 1993 when she began teaching dance, and yoga. After discovering the healing art of qigong it became and continues to be her primary practice. She studied extensively with Damaris Jarboux and Robert Peng and completed the TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) certification.  "The synergy between qigong and TRE is nothing short of transformative; The combination allows both the physical and energetic bodies to reset, making way for profound healing."

 “There is something in us,” nature writer Jay Griffiths says, “that detests the tepid world of net curtains … the chloroform world where human nature is well schooled, tamed from childhood on, where the radiators are permanently on mild and the windows are permanently closed.”   Lost with her life and desperate to escape the confines of the modern world, Jay set out on a journey to explore the world's wildest places. She would explore ice, earth, water, fire and air. It would take seven years and all her savings. She would sing with cannibals in the highlands of West Papua, drink ayahuasca with shamans in the amazon. She explored the frozen arctic with Innuits and the fire desert with the aboriginals of the Australia.   Through her travels Jay learned the wisdom of the indigenous people that call these elements home. She discovered how they shaped their culture and beliefs, and in time how they shaped her too. She was seeking wildness. She was following her ‘feral angel', listening to its call to take flight and reconnect with the wildness inside her.   This episode is the original interview I did with Jay a few years ago. The documentary ‘Adventure' episode is about 100 episodes back in the feed. Check out it out on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your show.  I'm re-running the original interview now for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's an amazing chat, and I had to cut so much good stuff out to make the documentary. And secondly, it's Native American Heritage Month and although Jay doesn't spend time with Native Americans, her story is about learning how indigenous people connect with the wild in ice, earth, air and fire.    This is a story for anyone that's ever crawled up the walls, stared out the window and dreamed of escape. This is a call to the wild.   Highlights include: ·   Take ayahuasca with shamans in the Amazon ·   Walk naked and alone into the frozen wilderness of the Arctic ·   Trek the highlands with the freedom fighters of West Papua, one of the most remote and least-visited places on earth ·   Have dinner with cannibals ·   Find out how to apply the wisdom of the wild in our own life   Jay's book of this adventure is called ‘Wild: an Elemental Journey'. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of nature writing I have ever read and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Her latest book ‘Why Rebel?' is awesome too.

Poet and essayist Kathryn Nuernberger joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about her new collection of lyric essays, Held: Essays in Belonging, which is about symbiotic mutualisms, and grief and joy in an era of worsening climate change. She discusses COP30, the United Nations climate gathering currently underway in Brazil, and considers the global failure to keep warming below 1.5 °C. She reflects on the nature of symbiotic relationships and offers several examples, noting that over several cycles even parasitic relationships might achieve the balance of mutualism. Nuernberger places her work in the larger tradition of climate and nature writing, which previously tended to celebration and in recent years has turned more elegiac, and also talks about writing personal grief in relation to societal grief. She explains new vocabulary developed to address emerging climate concerns and emotions and identifies several concepts that need new words. She reads an excerpt from Held.

A new brief by the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) brings to the forefront a critically important tool for climate justice: the rights of nature.

Cultural differences profoundly impact our ability to communicate in relationships, often leading to misunderstandings when interpreting nonverbal cues, directness of speech, or emotional expression. To have better conversations and foster a happy life, it's crucial to cultivate strong communication skills. To explore communication strategies to cultivate deeper relationships, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Patricia Timerman Barbosa da Silva, aka Dr. T, a psychotherapist, author, and founder of Advocate2Create. Dr. T shares communication strategies from her book, Why Are We Fighting?, and explains how her IAP and preamble models empower people to have better conversations and strengthen their relationships.This episode is proudly sponsored by:Nature's Sunshine—Offers modern herbal supplements backed by science and harvested from the earth.

For people with conditions like ALS, or who experience a severe stroke, this is a devastating reality. Today's guest is Erin Kunz, a postdoctoral researcher in the Neural Prosthetics Translational Laboratory at Stanford, who is part of a global community of scientists working towards the vision of a brain–computer interface — or BCI — to bypass those broken circuits and restore the ability to speak to people with paralysis.We discuss how these BCIs work and the inspiring progress the tech has made in recent years, as well as the troubling question of whether a technology designed to decode what people intend to say from their brain activity could one day read out thoughts they never intended to communicate?Learn MoreStudy of promising speech-enabling interface offers hope for restoring communication (Stanford Medicine, 2025)For Some Patients, the ‘Inner Voice' May Soon Be Audible (The New York Times, 2025)These brain implants speak your mind — even when you don't want to (NPR, 2025)A mind-reading brain implant that comes with password protection(Nature, 2025)How neural prosthetics could free minds trapped by brain injury(From Our Neurons to Yours, 2024)Brain implants, software guide speech-disabled person's intended words to computer screen (Stanford Medicine, 2023)Software turns ‘mental handwriting' into on-screen words, sentences (Stanford Medicine, 2021)Send us a text!Thanks for listening!

Ana González is here to introduce you to her new podcast, Our Common Nature, a musical journey with cellist Yo-Yo Ma.  When the world stopped in 2020, Yo-Yo Ma started thinking about how music can reconnect people to the natural world. In this limited podcast series, Yo-Yo goes around the country to places where people have deep connections to the earth.  Host Ana González joins him to uncover stories of how culture binds us to nature, from Maine to Appalachia and Hawaii. The result is a seven-episode series that fuses music, personal narratives, and local histories from across the United States.  Listen to more episodes from Our Common Nature series.Visit the website at ourcommonnaturepodcast.org.
