Podcasts about Orphan

Anastasia Canonica was born in post-Soviet Russia in 1991, the year the USSR collapsed and the monetary system reset overnight, erasing everyone's savings. She was placed in an orphanage at age 4 after her parents turned to alcohol amid the poverty crisis, spending ages 4-16 in Orphanage Number 5 in Novokuznetsk, Siberia. After her father's death when she was 11, she became consumed with anger and resentment, developing a physical growth on her body. At 13, she experienced a miracle healing through Louise Hay's book "Heal Your Body," learning to release resentment and forgive. After a two-year adoption process, Anastasia came to America at 16, right as the 2008 financial crisis hit. Ana shares her awakening journey and Bitcoin adoption, seeing it as a source of hope that the parallel centralized dystopian world doesn't have to be the only option.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

This episode is for Christian men stuck between where they are today and where they feel God is calling them.Josh Khachadourian joins us to talk about how to know what vision the Lord has for you, and specifically how to stop falling into the ditch on either side of the narrow road that leads to Him...Specifically Orphan Alpha Syndrome, and Christian Nice Guy Syndrome.This is a wake up call to any man who's been trying to do it all himself and find peace outside of God, BUT who knows there's still work to do in God's Kingdom, and wants to harness his innate drive to build.In this episode:0:00 Intro3:18 God-Driven Vision9:46 Enemies and What's Out of Order18:19 Operating From Peace21:51 Orphan Alpha Syndrome27:19 Christian Nice Guy Syndrome33:05 The Pain Guys Live In38:17 Getting Out of the PMS Cycle49:20 The Power of No Secrets52:10 The First Obedient Step Right Now54:49 Biblical MasculinityResources:Kingdom Driven by Josh Khachadourian: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1734549335/The Standard by Josh Khachadourian: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1734549300/Standard 59: https://www.standard59.com/Josh on IG: https://www.instagram.com/kingdomathlete/Josh on FB: https://www.facebook.com/kingdomathlete/---

Coy Bass leading 506 The Orphan Girl by Beth McGinnis

Evelyn Kelly joins Business Builders for a powerful conversation about rare disease medicine, scaling a global consultancy, and what it really means to build a business with purpose.From starting at her kitchen table in 2017 with no formal plan, to growing Orphan Drug Consulting from €250,000 to €5 million in just four years, Evelyn shares how she built a specialist pharma consultancy that has helped over 70 companies launch medicines in more than 100 countries.But this isn't just a growth story.Evelyn works in the world of orphan drugs — treatments for rare diseases, many of which affect children. With over 7,000 rare diseases globally and fewer than 10% having approved treatments, she explains the regulatory, commercial and supply chain realities behind getting life-saving medicines to patients.The conversation explores what most people never see: clinical trial constraints, reimbursement battles across Europe, US pricing pressure, post-Brexit complexity, and the volatility currently hitting the biotech investment market.Alongside the technical depth, Evelyn reflects on leadership — absorbing hard feedback, building processes that allow scale, being responsible for other people's livelihoods, and why managing risk isn't about fear, but about stability.This episode is a grounded, high-level look at the intersection of purpose and process — and what it takes to build a resilient business in one of the most complex industries in the world.

Dans ce nouvel épisode de ComicsDiscovery, nous revenons sur Exquisite Corpses, le nouveau titre de James Tynion IV. Auteur que nous suivons régulièrement dans l'émission, Tynion explore ici le registre du battle royale horrifique aux côtés de Michael Walsh, pour un comics publié chez Urban Comics. Un nouveau projet ambitieux que nous avions hâte de découvrir et d'analyser ensemble. Bataille royale familialeLe nom de James Tynion IV commence à devenir familier si vous suivez l'émission. C'est un scénariste qui arrive souvent avec de vraies promesses et qui sait susciter l'attente. Nous suivons son travail avec attention, et il nous a régulièrement surpris dans le bon sens du terme. On pense notamment à The Nice House on the Lake puis The Nice House by the Sea, une série dont nous attendons la suite avec impatience tant les premiers épisodes nous avaient marqués. On lui doit aussi la très efficace série d'horreur aux accents teenage Something Is Killing the Children. Tynion est un auteur capable d'écrire des récits d'horreur tendus et ambitieux, mais aussi de s'inscrire dans un registre plus mainstream. Son passage sur Detective Comics, où il réunissait autour de Batwoman une équipe composée de Spoiler, Orphan, Clayface (dans une version réhabilitée) et Robin, reste un très bon souvenir de lecture. Autant dire que nous étions particulièrement curieux de découvrir Exquisite Corpses. Une battle royale pour les États-UnisTous les cinq ans, les familles les plus puissantes d'Amérique s'affrontent. Elles se réunissent et choisissent chacune un champion. Le vainqueur obtient le droit d'exercer son influence sur les États-Unis. Évidemment, il ne s'agit pas d'une compétition ordinaire. Les représentants de ces dynasties sont des tueurs sanguinaires, lâchés dans une petite ville isolée transformée en terrain de chasse. Une battle royale brutale où tous les coups sont permis, et où les civils paient le prix fort. Avec Exquisite Corpses, James Tynion IV et Michael Walsh cochent toutes les cases du comics sanglant et excessif… peut-être même un peu trop. Erreur de parcoursAu final, Exquisite Corpses nous a laissés plutôt froids. Le concept est simple, presque trop : une battle royale ultra-violente où l'escalade graphique semble parfois tenir lieu de narration. La brutalité ne suffit pas à compenser un récit qui manque d'épaisseur, et les personnages restent trop peu développés pour susciter un véritable attachement. Sur le fond, l'ensemble donne une impression de déjà-vu. Le mélange entre Battle Royale et The Purge ne dépasse jamais le stade de la référence évidente, sans parvenir à proposer un angle neuf ou une réelle ambition thématique. Les dessins de Michael Walsh remplissent leur rôle, et certains designs de personnages auraient pu être marquants. Mais le scénario ne leur donne pas la place d'exister pleinement. On peine à percevoir la montée en puissance ou la vision d'ensemble que le projet semblait promettre. D'autant plus que James Tynion IV présente Exquisite Corpses comme l'un des titres phares de sa nouvelle structure éditoriale en collaboration avec Image Comics. Une ambition difficile à saisir à la lecture de ces deux premiers numéros qui, pour l'instant, peinent à dépasser leur concept de départ. Un éditorial qui changeSur le plan éditorial, en revanche, Urban Comics tente quelque chose d'intéressant. L'éditeur propose ici un format court et souple de 64 pages à 7,90 €, avec en complément un coffret accompagné de bonus pour les deux premiers numéros. Une formule plus accessible, tant en prix qu'en format, qui pourrait séduire un nouveau lectorat. Il est possible qu'Urban Comics expérimente ici une nouvelle manière de promouvoir certains titres, en misant sur une entrée moins engageante financièrement. L'idée n'est pas mauvaise : rendre le comics plus abordable reste une piste pertinente pour élargir le public. Reste que le choix du titre interroge. Sur une série plus solide ou plus ambitieuse, l'impact aurait sans doute été plus fort. À moins que la cible visée soit un public plus jeune, moins familier des récits de battle royale, et donc moins exigeant sur les codes du genre. Pour l'instant, Exquisite Corpses ressemble davantage à un concept accrocheur qu'à une œuvre réellement marquante. Reste à voir si la suite saura lui donner l'ampleur et la profondeur que l'on est en droit d'attendre d'un titre signé James Tynion IV.

Episode 285 - From Son to Orphan How does a beloved son end up living like an orphan? As Lent begins, the friars enter deeply into the parable of the Prodigal Son, not starting with the return, but with the rupture. What happens in a heart that makes someone walk away from home? What wounds, doubts, shame, or disappointments lead us to take our inheritance and try to live without the Father? In this episode, they reflect on the subtle shift that happens long before the son leaves: the movement from trust to self-reliance, from intimacy to isolation, from sonship to an orphan spirit. They explore how sin and shame distort our vision of God's goodness, and how easy it is to believe we're better off on our own. This conversation isn't about condemnation, it's about awareness. Because before we become "prodigal," we often become wounded. Join us as we begin Lent by asking the Lord to reveal where we've chosen distance and to restore us to the truth of being sons and daughters again.

Episode 437 of Airey Bros Radio is now LIVE on all podcast platforms — originally streamed on ABR YouTube on Feb 3, 2026.We're joined by Jim Giunta, Founder / President & Chairman of the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) — the governing body that's helped create college wrestling opportunity for thousands of athletes across the U.S., Canada, and beyond.In this conversation, Jim breaks down what the NCWA is (and isn't), why we should call them teams/programs — not “club teams,” and how wrestlers can start a program at their school the right way (hint: it starts with students, not coaches walking into the AD's office).We also get into NCWA Nationals (massive brackets + big-show atmosphere), transition teams (schools moving divisions who compete through the NCWA), the rise of women's collegiate wrestling (folkstyle + freestyle), and Jim's newest project — the National Collegiate Grappling Association (NCGA/NCGAA) with rules designed to reward real takedowns and action.Powered by Black Sheep Endurance Coaching / ☕ Value-for-value: BuyMeACoffee.com/AireyBrosTime-Stamped Show Notes (Episode 437)0:00 ABR mission: spotlighting opportunities beyond the “Power 4”0:40 Show open + intro: Jim Giunta joins (NCWA Founder/President)1:58 Jim's background + NCWA growth overview (teams, athletes, alumni)3:05 Why the NCWA matters: real opportunity for wrestlers who aren't D1 roster locks3:55 Jim's origin story: Pennsylvania to Texas A&M — “we ain't got no wrestling here”5:58 Starting wrestling in Texas: early club roots + building infrastructure6:39 Why Jim founded the NCWA (late 90s) and how it started with 13 teams8:34 Teams/programs vs “club wrestling” — why language matters9:09 The Apprentice School example + athletic-department funded programs10:02 NCWA as a wrestling-only governing body (not distracted by other sports)11:20 NCWA “D1 vs D2” structure + what “emerging programs” means12:24 “Orphan alumni” and rebuilding programs at schools that dropped wrestling14:04 Want wrestling at your school?

This week, I talk with Wendy Walker about her new ice skating thriller Blade! We dive into her past with ice skating, how she developed her cast of characters, and how she chose the unique plot structure.Blade SynopsisAna Robbins was an Olympic star in the making—until tragedy forced her to leave that world behind. At the age of sixteen, she gave up her dream and never looked back. Fourteen years later, she's a successful defense attorney, revered for her work with minors. But when her former coach turns up dead, Ana lands right back where it all began, and abruptly The Palace, a world-renowned skating facility nestled high in the mountains of Colorado.Ana returns to The Palace to defend the young skater accused of the brutal crime—Grace Montgomery. Despite her claims of innocence, all evidence points squarely at Grace's guilt, and she's days away from facing charges of first-degree murder.But Ana's investigation dredges up childhood memories of her own, triggering the fear that permeates this place where she once lived and trained far from home as an “Orphan.” With a blizzard raging outside, and time running out for Grace, Ana is determined to uncover the truth—even if it means exposing her own secrets that she buried here long ago.

Today we are talking about Kim Jong Un, the current (dear) leader of North Korea. We've been discussing current heads of state and how the Cold War has shaped them. Kim Jong Un really is a relic from the Cold War and in many ways still continues that history. We talk about his murky beginnings and his role in the current state, which is a throwback to the days of Mao and Stalin, with some homespun touches

An audio message from Pastor Paul Newsham. The book of Esther is a remarkable story of courage, providence, and God's unseen hand at work. Though God is never mentioned by name, His guidance is evident throughout this true historical account of two ordinary people, Esther and Mordecai, who were placed in extraordinary circumstances to shape a nation's future. Their story reminds us that God is always at work behind the scenes to protect and preserve His people. Bible Readings: Selected verses from Esther (NLT) Pastor Paul will be leading us in the first of this three-part series, as we uncover how this ancient story still speaks powerfully into our lives today. Parts 2 and 3 will be shared with our church community when Pastor Paul returns in April.

Wow what do cabbage babies, bloodlines, Crispr, and History especially of the orphan trains have in common?It may be more that you think! This wild research of mine is not new... this has been a question for me since I started my podcast almost 4 years ago.Knowing about Mormons, Utah and Genetics I went down the research road trying to find some answers.Especially now I am even more interested seeing the many strange pieces of the Epstein files, and of course as I always say some Mormons were there!I can't make it up thats for sure...

In this episode of Living on the B Side, host Birgit speaks with Ian and Danielle from Orphan Prodigy about their conceptual album “Medication for Modern World” and the story behind their song “Trader.” Together, they explore how music can transform feelings of chaos, rejection, and being an outsider into connection, healing, and community.This episode invites slower listening and honest reflection. We talk about Ian's and Danielle's backstory (adoption, anxiety, agoraphobia, feeling “different”), how music can hold our big emotions, create safe spaces, and support mental health, and how Orphan Prodigy is building a welcoming community for anyone who's ever felt like they don't quite fit in. It's for sensitive souls, fellow “B siders,” music-lovers, and anyone navigating emotional wellbeing or feeling like an outsider.In this episode, we explore:How “Medication for Modern World” grew out of years of personal and global chaos and became a conceptual journey from overwhelm to acceptance.The link between music and mental health, including Ian's daily “three songs a day” practice and Danielle's perspective as a licensed psychologist.How simple, honest songs like “Trader” can carry deep feelings of rejection, self-acceptance, and being “too much” – and why that resonates with so many listeners.Ian's experience of adoption and growing up “different,” and how both he and Danielle turned outsider stories into creative fuel and a supportive, mental-health-focused communityConnect with the Orphan ProdigyWebsite: http://www.orphanprodigy.com/Instagram: @orphanprodigy YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@orphanprodigySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3AGoU5E90UD2kjYxwAmZvV?si=ktYzP-WqTICKhphz-A-COwAbout this podcastLiving on the B Side is a podcast about the power of music — exploring how sound shapes our emotions, stories, and sense of self.

James 1:26-27 - Those whose stability is impacted by the dissolution of their families are consistently included among the groups that God has special concern for. In fact, Psalm 68 describes God as "Father of the fatherless and protector of widows." So it makes perfect sense that God's new covenant family, the church, is meant to be a place where these same groups are cared for and advocated for. In this sermon, we consider what it might look like for us to be a church that does justice for the orphan and widow, which James tells us is a crucial aspect of "pure and undefiled" religion before God. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 4 of our series "Images and Neighbors, Every One"] Questions for reflection: 1) Why do you think James highlights "visiting orphans and widows in their affliction" as one of his 3 key markers of "pure religion"? 2) Why did the fracturing of family make certain people especially vulnerable in the ancient world? How does it do the same today? 3) What groups today sit adjacent to "orphans and widows" in our culture? 4) How does this command relate to the New Testament conception of the church as a family? 5) How might you personally be involved in the care of orphans, widows, and related groups? 6) How does the spiritual adoption that Jesus offers us all relate to this command?

Send us a textThe smiling photos, the painted walls, the “we came to help” posts—so much of orphanage tourism looks uplifting on the surface. But pull on the thread and a harder truth emerges: when volunteers are the customers, children become the product. In this conversation with filmmaker and activist Barak Laub, we uncover how feel-good trips can fuel orphanage trafficking, why unqualified access to vulnerable kids creates real risk, and what ethical, effective alternatives actually look like.Barak shares how his film, Volunteers Needed, evolved from a carefree travel project into an investigation of a global industry that profits by separating children from families. We break down the mechanics of orphanage trafficking—force, fraud, and coercion; “paper” orphans; curated performances for donors; and weak oversight that keeps institutions funded while delaying family reunification. Along the way, we talk about the cultural and developmental harm of revolving-door visitors, the algorithms that sell volunteer placements to eager travelers, and the difficult cognitive dissonance donors face when good intentions meet bad outcomes.Most importantly, we map a better path. Learn how to spot red flags (pay-to-volunteer models, unsupervised access, lack of background checks) and seek green flags (qualified roles, strong child protection policies, family-based care goals). We share practical shifts—capacity building over short-term fixes, peer-to-peer professional exchanges, and funding community services that keep children with kin. We also explore the policy lever that could move the system: recognizing orphanage trafficking as a severe form of trafficking in persons to enable enforcement and accountability.If this topic challenges you, stay with it.

In this episode of The Inside Scoop, I sit down with Coach Jesse Novatski — a grassroots and college coach who's become a trusted voice in our soccer parent community.Jesse has a remarkable story. Born near São Paulo, Brazil, he spent his early years in an orphanage before being adopted and moving to the United States at age five. "The United States became my fifth birthday present," he shares.We talk about how those early experiences shaped his character, his drive, and ultimately his coaching philosophy. From giving food to homeless people on the streets of Rio as a child, to that one summer when "the skills just started to come, the goals just started to come" — Jesse's path to coaching was anything but ordinary.If you've seen Jesse in our Facebook group preaching about fundamentals, free play, and making sure kids love the game — this conversation gives you the full picture of why he believes what he believes.Connect with Coach Jesse:

God's love never lets go—even through failure, loss, and shame—redeeming what can feel beyond repair. In this deeply moving episode, Terri Lynn-Corbett shares her journey through rejection, broken relationships, and painful questions, revealing how God proved Himself faithful, present, and powerfully restoring.Through seasons marked by heartbreak and disappointment, Terri discovered that our mistakes do not cancel God's plans. Instead, He specializes in restoring what has been broken and rebuilding lives on the firm foundation of His love. Like the Samaritan woman at the well, Terri encountered Jesus not with condemnation, but with compassion—inviting her to come boldly, baggage and all, and receive true healing and identity.What once felt like ashes became beauty as God replaced sorrow with joy, fear with hope, and shame with freedom. Terri's testimony is a compelling reminder that God's promises never fail, His love never leaves, and our true identity and affirmation are found in Him alone.If you've ever wondered whether God could still love you, restore you, or use your story for good, this conversation will remind you that God is still writing your story—and His love never lets go.Click here for SHOW NOTES!Start a Her God Story Podcast Club!

Rejection has a way of sneaking in quietly. A comment, a moment, a season that leaves you wondering if you really belong. In this message, we talk honestly about how rejection shapes us, why it cuts so deep, and how it can leave us living like we're on our own. More importantly, we're invited into healing and reminded that we were never meant to live disconnected or unloved. If you've ever felt overlooked, pushed aside, or tired of striving, this one's for you.
