She's owned her cockatiel for years, and the bird has always been calm once the lights go out. No night frights. No sudden panic. Just quiet sleep.Then, around the same time she began noticing small things in the house out of place—cabinets left open, objects moved—the bird's behavior changed. Night after night, it would wake up in a violent panic, sounding an alarm she'd never heard before.At first, she tried to rationalize everything. Forgetfulness. Coincidence. Normal bird behavior. But when the episodes continued and the tension in the house grew, she decided to confront whatever might be there.What happened after that made her question whether the bird had been reacting to something she couldn't see.#RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #ParanormalExperience #AnimalsAndSpirits #NightFright #GhostStory #SupernaturalEncounter #TrueParanormal #PetsAndTheParanormalLove real ghost stories?

Your co-pilots have braved the atmosphere of planet Earth as the rocket touches down at the Emmanuel Centre in London for a live recording of Planet Normal! To mark the occasion, your co-pilots are joined by two of the most fearless voices to navigate a country they fear is currently on an ‘economic cliff edge'. The first revered stowaway on the rocket today is Lionel Shriver: The celebrated satirical novelist discusses her provocative new book, A Better Life. She pulls no punches while exploring the naivete of the progressive left and the ruthlessness often overlooked in the immigration debate. Also strapping in for lift-off is Suella Braverman KC MP in her first appearance since her high-profile defection to Reform UK. She reveals the ‘list of great betrayals' she witnessed at the heart of government and explains why she believes the Conservative Party has abandoned the principles of Margaret Thatcher.

A televised speech became a stress test for our politics, and the pictures told the story. We walk through how boycotts, sit-downs, and shout-backs handed Trump the contrast he wanted, why the “I'm normal, you're crazy” line worked on live TV, and where he showed rare discipline that even skeptical analysts admitted landed. From immigration and crime to a bipartisan opening on a congressional stock-trading ban, we unpack the moments designed to force stand-or-sit choices—and why those clips will echo into 2026.Then we pivot to culture, because that's where politics hides in plain sight. USA men's hockey brought home gold and a rare burst of unity, yet parts of the sports media framed the celebration as suspect if it brushed against Trump's spotlight. We put that next to the glowing coverage of Eileen Gu—a U.S.-raised star competing for China with no reckoning over human-rights realities—and talk about the asymmetric narratives that make ordinary patriotism feel radioactive. If shared joys turn partisan, everything else gets harder.We also break down a Gavin Newsom clip that drew a searing response from Nicki Minaj and ask the bigger question: what happens when “relatable” crosses into phony? Add California's stalled rebuilding and insurance failures, and the 2028 shine looks scuffed. To close, we switch gears to something tangible: a meaningful pattern shift aiming multiple storms at New Mexico. Better snowpack could curb fire risk and salvage late-season ski days—small wins that matter in a dry winter.If you value straight talk, sharp analysis, and a little hope where it counts, hit follow, share with a friend, and drop a review.

108 Minuten – eine solch lange «Rede zur Lage der Nation» hat noch kein US-Präsident vor Donald Trump gehalten. Aber noch etwas war auffällig: «Trump wirkte dabei recht normal», analysiert die Politologin. Und das hat einen konkreten Grund. Donald Trump steht unter Druck. Seine Zustimmungswerte sind historisch tief. Jetzt hat er bei der jährlichen «Rede zur Lage der Nation» gleich mehrere Register gezogen, zum Beispiel mit seiner Gästeliste. Wir schauen uns das mit der Expertin ausführlicher an und sagen auch, warum Trump das gemacht hat. ____________________ Habt Ihr Fragen oder Themen-Inputs?

Maya Jade Frank joins the podcast to share the fascinating journey of a career that began with a serendipitous audition for her sister's project and led her to the Broadway stages of Evita and Mary Poppins. She opens up about the unique experience of growing up on the road with the 25th Anniversary National Tour of Les Misérables, where she balanced three hours of daily schooling with visits to historical monuments and backstage "Docu-drama" marathons. Maya discusses the transition from being a child actor in New York to a Disney Channel star in Los Angeles, reflecting on how her supportive, non-theatre parents helped her stay grounded while she pursued a "normal" college experience at USC. The conversation dives deep into Maya's impressive ability to merge her creative passions with a sharp business mind. Beyond her current starring role as Zoe Murphy in the South Florida premiere of Dear Evan Hansen, she reveals the inner workings of her digital media company, Mangoes and Bubblegum, and her work as a global Pilates instructor. From her "morning jump around" ritual to early 2000s pop punk to her dreams of performing Shakespeare at the Globe, Maya exemplifies a modern multi-hyphenate artist who prioritizes physical health and analytical data just as much as her vocal warm-ups. Maya Jade Frank is a New York City native whose extensive credits include the Broadway revival of Evita, the final Broadway cast of Mary Poppins, and the 25th Anniversary National Tour of Les Misérables. She received a Daytime Emmy nomination for her work on Nickelodeon's History and Heritage and appeared on Disney Channel's Bizaardvark. A graduate of the University of Southern California and the Royal Academy of Music in London, her recent stage work includes Next to Normal and the UK revival of Be More Chill. She is currently appearing in Dear Evan Hansen at the Actors' Playhouse in Coral Gables.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My Guest: Jesse Cole is the owner of the Savannah Bananas. He went $1.8 million in debt, slept on an air mattress, and built a business that is now valued at over a billion dollars. I spent half a day with Jesse in Savannah watching practice, and Jesse gave me a personal tour of their entire operation. It was incredible. Notes: Fans First - The sign is on every locker. And leading out to the field, "Tonight is someone's first time seeing our show." Obsessed/Focused - Banana Ball/Serving people is his life. We didn't talk about hobbies, TV shows, or anything other than what they're doing now and in the future. He's obsessed with what he does and super focused. Transparent - Jesse just released their full P&L as a private company: revenue, expenses, player salaries, everything. Most businesses guard this religiously. He's completely transparent. I asked why, and he said, "Fans first. They deserve to know everything." Reps - We went to the field to watch practice. It looked just like a game. Players were dancing all the time. And every single rep they practiced as a trick play (behind the back, through the legs, etc.). They never play normal baseball. You wonder how they are so good on gameday at doing a backflip while catching a fly ball. Because they practice it thousands of times without fans so that when they're there, they put on a great show. Hiring – "Love your people more than you love your customer." 12,000 people on the waitlist to work for the Bananas. When you hire, have them do a "fans first" essay. Then they write a future essay. Always Be Caring, Different, Enthusiastic, Fun, Growing, & Hungry Fans First: The Counter-Intuitive Decision - Jesse sacrificed $6 million in ticket revenue after a system messed things up for fans. Merch – 787,000 fans purchased merchandise in 2025, totaling 1.96 million total items. That means the average person is purchasing ~2.5 items at checkout, with 80% of total sales taking place in person. 621,000 at live shows versus 166,000 online. It's a $50m business! TV: The Distribution Strategy - Giving Away Value - Jesse insisted on free YouTube streaming even when ESPN wanted exclusivity. Jesse is building a zero-profit secondary ticket market. He's literally giving away things other sports properties would monetize. So, even with all of the team's games still airing for free on YouTube, the Bananas averaged 500,000 viewers on ESPN, The CW, and Roku. The team's most-watched broadcast was a July 4th game at Fenway Park, which averaged 837,000 viewers on ESPN, making it the holiday weekend's most-watched primetime sports broadcast. TV networks want exclusivity, but you demand that the games still be broadcast for free on YouTube (in addition to whatever channel they are on) Social Media - The Bananas added 12.7 million new social media followers in 2025 alone. That pushes their total social media following across all channels north of 35 million... Roughly 2x more followers than MLB's most popular team, the Yankees, at 18 million. You have to believe something before you achieve something. Six years ago, Jesse said, "We're gonna sell out Fenway Park," and his team looked at him like he was crazy (they were a college summer baseball team, not even doing tours yet). You have to get through the messy to get to the great. Their first world tour was brutal: the sound was terrible, the show wasn't great, the game finished in the seventh inning because they didn't have a rule to make it go nine innings. See what's best for the guest, not what's best for the business. Walt Disney was the first to go into full-length animation, color, sound, and with Disneyland, he focused on one entrance to control the experience, custom rides, and invested in a castle and landscaping, which made no money. Go where others won't go. Sam Walton went to small towns, and no one paid attention to him for the first five to ten years. It's somebody's first time every night. Fans wait three years on a waitlist to come to a game, so Jesse doesn't care if you're having a bad day. That's their first time. Control the entire experience. Walt learned he couldn't control the experience when people watched his movies at a theater (it could be dirty, and people might not be nice), so he built Disneyland. Who do we work for? Fans. Jesse opened the books completely (numbers, player salary, merch sales, everything) because they have a responsibility and accountability to their fans. We have to feel our mistakes. When they sent a wrong email to 44,000 fans instead of 4,000, it cost them $6 million to take care of those fans with tickets (more than the company brought in their first five years). We need to have bigger failures. If we're not trying things big enough, we won't have bigger failures and mistakes that cost us a lot more in the future. Turn mistakes into moments. After the $6 million email mistake, Jesse set up a Zoom call with all 44,000 people, had everyone turn their cameras on, and apologized while looking at every single person. Build something you wish existed for yourself. Jesse played baseball until he couldn't anymore. He put so much pressure on himself that it wasn't fun anymore, and he was told he wasn't good enough. Design every second of the first-day experience. When players showed up, they went to a parking lot with a DJ at 8:30 AM. Three buses arrived with balloons, hundreds of people lined the streets cheering, Man-nanas served munchkins on silver platters, a custom hype video played, the host introduced from the roof, and fireworks went off. Every player has been told they're not good enough. All Bananas players have been drafted or been top college players, and at some point, they've all been rejected, cut, told to hang it up. Obsession is awesome. If you can find something you're obsessed with, so few people in the world get to have that. Watch the best of the best obsess over details. Derek Hough (one of the greatest dancers) wasn't just focusing on the dance; he was producing while dancing, telling the camera crew exactly where to come, when to hit him, and where he would wink. No one goes home excited about normal. No one says, "That restaurant was really normal, the waiter served it the same way, the food was pretty normal, the parking lot was normal." Whatever's normal, do the exact opposite. Normal gets normal results. There's a lot of normal in the world, but not a lot of extraordinary. Put yourself in the customer's shoes and eliminate friction. Where's the game tonight? On Amazon, Peacock, CBS, NBC? Jesse threw away millions to keep all games free on YouTube because that's a friction point. Your fans will reward you. The Bananas sold over 1.9 million merch items last year because they built something people are proud of and want to wear. If people don't want to wear your merch, you haven't made them feel something yet. One fan gets a new Bananas tattoo every year (he's got six logos on his leg now). Invest everything in the experience, spend zero on traditional marketing. Make the experience so good that fans will share with everyone that this is something they haven't experienced before. Social media growth came from trying and stumbling into learning. In 2016, an intern said he could create videos; they did a lip sync to "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake. It wasn't even well-produced, but they tried. Give energy back because of how good it feels. A woman came up to Jesse on a cruise and said she was there because he gave her a hug at a Sacramento game the day after her sister died. She came on the cruise to give him a hug back. Do what gives you energy. Jesse's entire day is filled with things that give him energy: being with people, rehearsing shows, banana ball youth meetings, broadcast team, and talented writers. Have people who love to execute. You do what gives you energy and have them execute at a high level. Be very involved at the beginning (get the idea and vision right) and at the end (make adjustments).
PMS is not “just part of being a woman,” and Alisa Vitti breaks down why symptoms are a signal worth taking seriously.

This episode is different.Devin Reed returns to the podcast—but this time, it's not about content strategy, marketing tactics, or growth frameworks. It's about something far more personal and far more relevant.After posting a powerful message about how “business as usual” feels disconnected from reality right now, Devin made a conscious decision to stop staying quiet. That post sparked this conversation.Together, John and Devin unpack what it means to:Speak up without becoming divisiveUse your platform responsiblyNavigate uncertainty without pretending everything is fineFind your voice when you're not sure what to sayLead with integrity in emotionally charged timesThis is a raw, thoughtful discussion about privilege, responsibility, fear of backlash, and the tension between staying silent and standing for something. It's not about politics. It's about humanity. It's about leadership.If you've been feeling the disconnect…If you've been unsure how to show up…If you've been wrestling with whether to speak or stay quiet…This conversation might help you find clarity—and maybe even a little courage.Are you interested in leveling up your sales skills and staying relevant in today's AI-driven landscape?

Send a textIn this two-part conversation, pediatrician Dr. Jessica Hochman talks with psychologist and play researcher Dr. Peter Gray about what kids actually need to grow into healthy, capable, well-adjusted adults — and why modern childhood is drifting in the opposite direction.In Part 1 we talk about why modern school has become such a major source of stress for kids — and what parents can do when changing schools isn't realistic. Dr. Gray shares what he learned studying graduates of a self-directed school model, why curiosity matters more than pressure, and how to support kids at home without turning evenings into “more school.”Part 2 is all about play + independence — and why they're essential for raising confident, capable kids.Your Child is Normal is the trusted podcast for parents, pediatricians, and child health experts who want smart, nuanced conversations about raising healthy, resilient kids. Hosted by Dr. Jessica Hochman — a board-certified practicing pediatrician — the show combines evidence-based medicine, expert interviews, and real-world parenting advice to help listeners navigate everything from sleep struggles to mental health, nutrition, screen time, and more.

Listen. Most of you are out there white-knuckling the steering wheel of your career, wondering why you smell burnt rubber while the competition glides past you. You call it "the grind." I call it high-friction incompetence. You're trying to dominate a market when you can't even regulate your own pulse. It's a bad ROI on your life force. In this episode, we sit down with Jim Marshall. Jim isn't a "thought leader" or a lifestyle guru floating on a cloud of toxic positivity. He's a human development engineer who spent 50,000 hours treating human behavior like a math problem—and he actually solved for x. He's the architect of Septimics: a revolutionary system that takes the messy chaos of human interaction and breaks it down into 35 precise, seven-level scales of natural law. Stop guessing why your team is underperforming or why your personal relationships feel like a high-stakes negotiation with no leverage. Jim provides the biological GPS to help you identify exactly where you are on the map of human potential, so you can stop forcing outcomes and start navigating with coherence. In this session, we map out the internal physics of: The Scale of Basic Purposes: Why being "Normal" is a 30% demographic trap of conformity that's killing your bandwidth. The Gradient Principle: Why most high-performers fail by trying to jump from "Level 5" to "Level 1" and end up with a total nervous system crash. Natural Law over Force: How to use Septimics as a diagnostic tool to eliminate friction in your deals, your marriage, and your own mind. The Winner's Paradox: Distinguishing between the hollow pursuit of status and the resonant clarity of true conquest. The deal isn't closed by force; it's closed by clarity. If you're ready to stop the internal static and start operating with bio-electric precision, pay attention. Jim is handing you the blueprints to the human machine. Don't be the "Normal" who ignores them. Connect with Jim today
When critical equipment fails, from a chain hoist to an aircraft part, operators want to find out what went wrong. Normal wear and tear, before a failure occurs, can also prompt tests to determine remaining service life for a part or system. A materials science and failure analysis engineer can investigate, digging deep to uncover the root cause of a failure or identify a potential malfunction. This expertise prevents loss of equipment or in extreme cases, loss of life. Listen now as SwRI materials science and failure analysis engineer and metallurgist Dr. Mirella Vargas discusses what is revealed during a thorough analysis, down to the microstructure of metals and materials.
Are we being slowly prepared for alien disclosure… or are we connecting dots that were never meant to touch?In Episode 36, we break down the recent UFO and UAP chatter — from presidential “classified” comments to the idea of soft disclosure and whether Hollywood could be part of the acclimation process.Then we pivot to this week's biggest trailers: Lee Cronin's darker, horror-driven take on The Mummy, House of the Dragon Season 3 ramping toward full-scale Targaryen war, and Bob Odenkirk stepping further into action-thriller territory with Normal.We also recap the brutal penultimate episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and the fallout from Baelor's tragic fate.On the Marvel front, we dive into multiverse chaos — Doom rumors, TVA collapse theories, and new breadcrumbs for Spider-Man: Brand New Day that could quietly reshape the MCU.Aliens. Dragons. Doom. Let's get into it.

We've Been Calling This Normal | Dr. Gabor Maté on Trauma, Stress, and Modern Life What if many of the pressures we accept as ordinary life are actually conditions the human nervous system experiences as chronic threat? Episode Description For generations, we have normalized stress, emotional suppression, relentless productivity, and disconnection from our own needs, treating them as the price of success. Dr. Gabor Maté argues that what we call normal in modern society often reflects patterns of adaptation to environments our biology was never designed to navigate. . But what if trauma is not primarily psychological at all? What if it is biological? Embedded. Lived through the nervous system long after the event is over. . In this profound and deeply human conversation, Dov Baron sits down with Dr. Gabor Maté to challenge one of the most entrenched assumptions in modern culture. That suffering is a personal failure rather than a physiological imprint of lived experience. . Together, they explore how addiction, anxiety, chronic illness, perfectionism, and even high achievement can emerge from the same root. Not moral weakness. Not a lack of discipline. But adaptive responses to disconnection, stress, and unmet developmental needs. . This episode is not about diagnosing what is wrong with people. It is about understanding what happened to them and what their bodies learned to survive it. . And more importantly, what becomes possible when we stop asking, "What's wrong with you?" and begin asking, "What happened to you?" In This Episode You'll Discover Why trauma is not defined by events, but by how the nervous system adapts to them How addiction often begins as an attempt at self regulation, not escape The hidden link between chronic stress and physical disease Why high-functioning success can mask unresolved developmental wounds How modern culture normalizes disconnection while pathologizing its symptoms The difference between intellectual insight and embodied healing Why compassion is not soft science, but biological necessity How reconnecting to authenticity becomes the foundation of real resilience Why This Conversation Matters Now We live in an era that rewards performance while quietly eroding connection. Many leaders are celebrated for endurance while their nervous systems remain locked in survival mode. Dr. Maté's work reframes healing not as fixing broken individuals, but as restoring relationship. Relationship to self. To the body. To meaning. To one another. This is not self help. It is a paradigm shift in how we understand human behavior, health, and leadership. About Dr. Gabor Maté Dr. Gabor Maté is a physician, speaker, and internationally recognized authority on trauma, addiction, stress, and human development. His work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience to illuminate how early environments shape lifelong patterns of health, behavior, and identity. He is widely known for challenging conventional medical models by integrating compassion, connection, and social context into the understanding of illness and healing.

Leaking when you laugh, rushing to the bathroom “just in case,” constipation, or painful sex after birth… common, yes. Normal, no. In this episode, pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Sara Reardon (aka The Vagina Whisperer), joins me to break the silence on peeing, pooping, pregnancy, postpartum, and sex. We talk about what your pelvic floor actually is, why it matters during fertility treatment, pregnancy, birth and menopause, and how small changes can make a huge difference in daily life. Dr. Sara shares practical guidance from her app and new book Floored, including how to breathe, move, poop, and have sex in ways that support your pelvic floor instead of fighting it. We also cover C‑section recovery, scar tissue, back pain, and why “adult diapers are not your destiny.” In this episode, you'll learn: What the pelvic floor does and how it affects peeing, pooping, sex, and core strength Why pregnancy, birth, and C‑sections change your pelvic floor (and what to do about it) How stress and tension show up in your pelvic floor during fertility treatments Simple relaxation, breathing, and bowel movement techniques you can start today The truth about Kegels and when they help vs. when they make things worse How to navigate dryness, pain with sex, and shame around “down there” When to see a pelvic floor PT and how apps and books like Floored can help Whether you're trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, in perimenopause, or just tired of wondering what's “normal,” this conversation will give you clear, compassionate education and next steps.

She never thought of herself as someone who attracted strange experiences. A few odd moments over the years, maybe—but nothing persistent. Nothing that suggested sensitivity. Her niece, however, was different. Quiet about it. Careful not to draw attention. But undeniably aware.When her niece came to stay in a small basement apartment, nothing seemed out of the ordinary at first. A walking tour through historic neighborhoods felt harmless. The apartment felt familiar. Normal. But certain moments didn't sit right—sounds that stopped instead of finishing, reactions that came before explanations, animals that froze without warning.As time passed, unease followed her beyond the apartment and into places that should have felt safe. Subtle changes in atmosphere replaced obvious signs. Silence became meaningful.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Why am I so tired?”Not just after a long day, but in a way that rest doesn't seem to fix.In this episode, we explore fatigue and low energy through a different lens. Where the body is not broken, but communicating to you. I'm joined by Dr. Evan Hirsch, creator of the Energy MD Method, to talk about what shifting energy levels may be trying to tell us. We explore how fatigue is shaped not just by the physical body, but by the nervous system, stress patterns, beliefs, and the way we relate to ourselves, and why supporting all of these layers is often what allows energy to return.This conversation is an invitation to stop pushing, start listening, and understand what deeper support your body may be asking for.In this episode, we explore:The difference between temporary tiredness and deeper energy depletionWhy rest alone doesn't always restore energyHow stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation impact fatigueLong COVID, chronic fatigue patterns, and why exercise can sometimes backfireWhy lab testing can miss key contributors to low energyMindset and nervous system tools that support healing (gratitude, beliefs, visualization, somatic practices)Foundational lifestyle supports for rebuilding energy gently00:00 Fatigue as a Wake-Up Call (Podcast Intro)01:38 Acute vs. Chronic Fatigue: What's Normal?04:29 Evan Hirsch's Personal Story & Why He Focuses on Energy07:47 Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Explained + The “Toxic Five” Root Causes09:25 Long COVID vs CFS: Spike Protein, Mitochondria & Exercise Crashes13:47 How Long COVID Is Diagnosed + Symptom Patterns16:46 Why Lab Tests Miss Toxins: Treating Causes Without Chasing Results22:06 Stress, Nervous System Retraining & The Toxic Burden Matrix25:24 Nervous System Dysfunction: The Missing Link in Chronic Fatigue26:08 Trauma, Beliefs & Survival Patterns That Keep the Body Stuck28:19 From Hustle to Burnout: How Stress Drains Energy Over Time30:05 Food Cravings, Self-Worth & Regulation: Why Depletion Drives Choices32:49 Feeling Safe in Your Body: Gratitude, Beliefs, Vision & Empowering Questions36:26 Top-Down vs Bottom-Up Tools: Polyvagal Practices & Somatic Regulation38:56 When to Get Help: Key Symptoms of Long COVID/Chronic Fatigue40:37 Lifestyle Foundations Checklist: Sleep, Water, Food & Goldilocks Movement45:21 Free Masterclass + Where to Follow (Final Thoughts)Evan H.

Why are people with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, POTS, and mast cell disorders so frequently misdiagnosed, or dismissed entirely? In this episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by Dr. Dacre Knight, Medical Director of the UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorders Center, for a wide-ranging conversation about why complex, multisystem conditions continue to fall through the cracks of modern medicine. Together, they explore how siloed healthcare systems, time-limited visits, and overreliance on “normal” labs and imaging contribute to years of delayed diagnosis and unnecessary suffering. The discussion unpacks why patients are often labeled as anxious, functional, or “too complex,” how pattern recognition breaks down when symptoms span multiple systems, and why early diagnosis could prevent much of the downstream complexity clinicians later struggle to manage. Dr. Knight also explains how diagnostic frameworks like the EDS–POTS–MCAS triad can be helpful and where they risk oversimplifying reality. This episode offers a candid look at the gaps in current diagnostic thinking and a more thoughtful, patient-centered approach to evaluating complex chronic illness, one that prioritizes listening, curiosity, and clinical humility. Takeaways: When diagnosis is delayed, complexity isn't inevitable — it's created. “Normal” tests don't mean normal lives. Pain, fatigue, and dysfunction can exist long before labs catch up. Many patients aren't anxious until they're repeatedly dismissed. Mislabeling symptoms often becomes the real diagnosis delay. Multisystem conditions don't reveal themselves through checklists — they emerge through patterns clinicians are trained to overlook. Sometimes the most powerful intervention isn't a test or a treatment — it's listening earlier, longer, and with curiosity. Want to learn more about the UVA EDS Center?
