Podcasts about Owl

My guiding north star when I was a therapist working with kids (and grown-ups) was always helping them not just get to know their brain and how it works, but actually to develop a relationship with the parts of themselves that seemed to always be getting into trouble. It's not really just brain facts that are helpful to kids. Teaching them about their brain creates the possibility that they can develop a new relationship with their brain- and that's where the real magic starts to happen. In this episode you'll learn:Why understanding your kid's brain matters less than helping them build an actual relationship with it — one held by compassion and curiosity instead of judgmentWhat integration of consciousness and state integration mean, and why flexibility between an owl, watchdog, and possum state (or whatever your family calls them) is the real marker of changeWhy modeling this with your own watchdog and possum first gives your kid permission to risk doing the sameI'm teaching a live webinar on how to actually do this with your own kids on September 8 — and if you're already part of The Club, it's included, no extra registration needed.Resources mentioned in this podcast:Online Training!

The crew kicks around the ridiculous cost of cable and streaming, why watching NFL games has become way too complicated, and whether putting a few bucks on nearly every team to win the Super Bowl is actually genius. Somehow the Miami Dolphins become a potential payday before the season even gets started. Then the conversation heads into hip-hop. The guys talk Tupac's murder, the case surrounding Duane “Keefe D” Davis, stories and lyrics connected to Tupac's death, Southern hip-hop, Scarface, Juvenile, Petey Pablo, Outkast, André 3000, Big Boi, and why some artists transcend the region they came from. That leads into Pras of the Fugees, his federal conviction, political money, lobbying, and the strange story behind how a member of one of hip-hop's biggest groups ended up facing serious prison time. And then things get properly rickety. Why are there so many mattress stores when nobody buys a mattress very often? How do they stay open? Is there something we're not being told? Before long, mattress stores become the center of an increasingly insane conspiracy theory involving money laundering, secret operations, Hollywood, Oprah, Stedman, blood, stem cells, and whatever else Mike can drag into it. The episode eventually wanders into Hayden Panettiere, Michael Jackson, Macaulay Culkin, Corey Feldman, child stars, Hollywood conspiracy theories, Antarctica, aliens, portals, wormholes, MH370, alternate dimensions, and the possibility that a missing airplane might someday simply reappear. No script. No plan. Just the rickety ship doing what it does.

Close to the village of Walsingham in North Norfolk, six miles from the coast, Westgate Farm is a 350-acre arable farm on the historic Walsingham Estate. It grows barley, wheat and, come August, a field of pick-your-own sunflowers. A miniature steam train on the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway runs right through the land. In a wildflower meadow at its heart sit two safari tents, Owl's Nest and Foxley Lodge, kitted out to a standard that outdoes most hotels.In today's episode, Molly sits down with Sophie Ollerenshaw, who came from a London marketing background and now shapes the guest side of a real working farm run by her partner Michael, the second generation of his family to manage it. From environmental stewardship and hedgerow management to home-cooked welcome hampers and the rhythm of the seasons, this is a conversation about diversifying a family farm thoughtfully and letting guests share in the life of the land rather than just visit it.Head to Curated, the world's first travel platform powered by tastemakers with soul, style and story at its heart to discover and book a collection of soulful stays curated by tastemakers you trust https://curatedspaces.club/Curated Spaces is the podcast on a mission to reignite real world connection.

Brian welcomes Mark from Michigan to share a lifetime of unsettling encounters involving Sasquatch, Dogman, and other unexplained activity. Mark's story begins around the age of ten, when his father reported seeing a tall, long-haired figure near the family farm and something began tapping on the windows at night.Years later, while deer hunting near a cornfield, Mark encountered an enormous gunmetal-gray Sasquatch accompanied by an overpowering odor of rotting meat and skunk. The woods suddenly went silent, nearby animals reacted strangely, and the experience left him with recurring nightmares that caused him to abandon the rest of the hunting season.Mark also describes discovering large X formations, teepee-like wood structures, unusual tracks, clicking sounds, unexplained lights, and a rock deliberately placed on top of a stump. During one turkey hunt, something attempted to imitate his barred owl call before a large figure appeared to peek at him from behind a tree. The encounters did not stop with Sasquatch. Mark recounts seeing a massive bipedal canine creature, finding unusual doglike tracks, observing glowing eyes near his home, and encountering an abnormally large black coyote-like animal that he could not bring himself to shoot. He also discovered several deer that had been opened and gutted without any of the meat being taken.Brian and Mark examine why witnesses often remain silent, whether these creatures are undiscovered flesh-and-blood animals or connected to something far stranger, and why an intelligent being might deliberately allow itself to be seen. Mark also explains why he believes researchers should approach these subjects with patience, respect, and as little intrusion as possible.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

That child who waits for you to start every sentence? In this replay I sit down with SLP Alexandria Zachos — founder of Meaningful Speech — to talk about how years of prompting quietly create prompt dependence, and how silence, connection, and a child-led approach help gestalt language processors find their own spontaneous voice. Prompting doesn't lead to spontaneous language. Connection, silence, and meeting a child where they are do. Gestalt language processing (GLP) is a normal, natural way of developing language — just a different path than the analytic, word-by-word route most of us were taught. Alex walks us through what it actually is, how the stages unfold from delayed echolalia to flexible, novel grammar, and why so many kids we've labeled "echolalic" or "scripting" are simply gestalt language processors who need a different kind of support. We also dig into the hard truth about prompting — why fill-in-the-blank, cloze phrases, and always initiating for a child can lead to prompt dependence — and what to do instead: natural language modeling, honoring all communication, and trusting silence to make room for language to emerge. We'll talk about: ●  what gestalt language processing is — and why it isn't a disorder ●  the six stages of gestalt language development, from delayed echolalia to complex grammar ●  how prompting and compliance-based strategies create prompt dependence over time ●  why our ultimate goal is spontaneous, flexible, multimodal communication ●  how silence, connection, and being a trusted communication partner change everything ●  why it's never too late for an older child who has become prompt dependent In This Episode, You'll Learn •  What gestalt language processing is, and how it differs from analytic language development •  How the stages unfold — delayed echolalia, mitigated echolalia, the "magic" word-freeing stage, and grammar •  Why delayed echolalia is always communicating something, even when it isn't literal •  How to do "detective work" to figure out what a child's gestalt actually means •  Why years of prompting and cloze phrases lead to prompt dependence, not spontaneous language •  What targeted natural language modeling looks like across communicative functions •  Why "the change starts with us," not with fixing the child •  How silence and the OWL approach (Observe, Wait, Listen) create space for language to emerge •  Why acknowledging all communication — a smile, a nod, a repeat — builds the trust language grows from Key Takeaways •  Gestalt language processing is a natural way of developing language, not a disorder •  Delayed echolalia is meaningful — it's communicating something worth investigating •  Prompting does not build spontaneous communicators; child-led support does •  Our goal is spontaneous, flexible, novel communication — including through AAC •  Change starts with what we model and how we respond, not with the child •  Silence is a strategy: spontaneous language emerges when the pressure is off •  Acknowledge all communication to build the relationship and trust •  Use a child's own gestalts — and put them into AAC — for instant buy-in •  It's never too late for an older, prompt-dependent child Try This •  Notice how often you prompt, question, or fill in the blank — then try saying less •  Use the OWL approach: observe, wait, and listen before you speak •  Let silence sit; follow the child's lead and join what they love •  Acknowledge every attempt to communicate with a repeat, a smile, or a nod •  Model language naturally instead of asking the child to perform it •  When you hear a gestalt, do some detective work to learn what it means •  Add a child's gestalts into their AAC device for automatic buy-in •  With an older prompt-dependent child, plan low-pressure sessions to rebuild trust first Related Resources & Links

CPG's next big ideas often emerge in unexpected places. In this episode, we explore what founders across food and beverage can learn from the rapid rise of hard sodas and hard sports drinks, as alcohol brands borrow from health, wellness and functionality to connect with younger consumers. The Taste Radio team is joined by Brewbound reporter Zoe Licata to discuss why familiar flavors, better-for-you positioning and shifting consumer behaviors are fueling these fast-growing categories—and whether they're poised for long-term success or destined to become another fleeting trend.   They also unpack the surprising split between Costco and Deschutes Brewery, what it reveals about the evolving role of private label and retail strategy, and why Guinness has become one of the world's hottest beer brands by winning over an entirely new generation of drinkers. Show notes: 0:20: Harry Calling. Inspired Imbibing. $40M Is A Crooked Number. Lyte Come Lately. Crafty Costco. – Zoe and John share their experiences of seeing Harry Styles perform at Wembley Stadium and discuss how drinking culture among younger consumers in the U.K. differs from that in the U.S. The conversation explores Gen Z's evolving relationship with alcohol, the pandemic's lasting impact on drinking habits, and how brands are leaning into nostalgia and familiar flavors to connect with legal-age younger consumers. They also examine why alcohol companies are borrowing cues from the better-for-you beverage category, and the marketing challenges of positioning products with wellness-inspired messaging despite alcohol's inherent health limitations. Along the way, they spotlight the surprising rise of alcoholic sports drinks modeled after electrolyte beverages and viral drinking trends like BORGs. The discussion then turns to beer, where the hosts unpack the unexpected end of Costco's long-running private-label partnership with Deschutes Brewery, producer of the retailer's popular Kirkland Signature Helles Lager and Vintage Ale. The episode concludes with a look at Guinness' remarkable resurgence, exploring how the iconic stout has become one of beer's biggest success stories by winning over younger consumers through social media, the viral "Split the G" challenge, and the growing realization that it's lighter, more sessionable, and far more approachable than many first-time drinkers expect.

For most of the last two decades, the right of UK politics were all for climate action. Heck, in 2019 a Conservative Prime Minister signed us up to net zero emissions by 2050!  But a few short years later both of the two major parties on the right are now very much against 'net "stupid" zero', and everything they think that means.  What's going on? What are they trying to do? And - will it work? I'm joined by Becca Massey-Chase, Head of Citizen Engagement at the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR).  Becca tells me the different attack lines that the right are using against net zero - whether they are persuasive to the average person, and what deeper stories they're tapping into. We discuss why the right has done such a reverse ferret on climate change, after decades of broad consensus - and how much of it is cynical politics vs sincerely held worldviews.  And I ask: if some people's views about climate action can really shift that quickly - what does that reveal about how firmly any of us really believe what we think we believe about it? You can find Becca's brilliant report here.  Let me know your thoughts on the show - hello@yourbrainonclimate.com.

Every successful beverage brand has an origin story. For Owl's Brew, it began with tea, craft cocktails, and a commitment to doing things differently.On this episode of Bar Hacks, we're joined by the founders of Owl's Brew, Maria Littlefield and Jennie Ripps. Our conversation includes the story of a visit to a New York City hotel bar that unexpectedly validated their product, why distributors understood their vision before consumers did, what Gen Z is teaching the industry about the future of drinking, and why authenticity has remained their greatest competitive advantage.We also explore the launch of Spiked Pop, the Wise Women Collective, the Boozy Book Club, and what it takes to build a brand that stays true to itself in an industry that constantly pressures companies to follow the next trend.Whether you're building a beverage brand, operating a bar, or simply curious about where the industry is headed, this conversation is full of practical insights on innovation, community, and drinking wise.Cheers!NotesOwl's Brew IGOwl's Brew Spiked PopOwl's Brew websiteKRG Nightlife IG⁠⁠⁠⁠KRG Nightlife website

When a Northern Saw-whet Owl spreads its wings, many birds can see something our human eyes can't: the owl's flight feathers glow with ultraviolet light. It's invisible to humans without the help of a UV blacklight. While the glowing feathers on parrots might help them attract mates, the reason for the owls' glowing feathers still isn't clear. However, scientists realized that they could estimate an owl's age based on the pattern of luminescent color on the wings, which changes predictably as birds grow and replace their feathers.

Sfinga and Key tackle another hotly-requested topic: how to identify, divine on, and profile new spirits that may be approaching your court. In addition to considering temporary wanderers, distant allies of your spirits that may be stopping by to visit, and also those interested in coming by for only a season or a year, they consider some of the signs by which to recognize the activity of a new being that is staying around and how best to verify their presence and qualities through divination and the authority and protection of your existing spirits and ancestors. The Dragon and Owl also discuss some of the tools they bring to a spiritual court investigation and how folks can come to tease out and understand the qualities of new spirits from the background of ambient existing phenomena. Support us on patreon.com/TheFrightfulHowls .

Recorded live at the 2026 ARA Show in Orlando by Michael Larsen, this episode back industry icon Anthony Durante one of the most influential voices in equipment rental.Fresh off the major announcement of his new venture The Owl partnering with Point of Rental, Anthony shares the vision behind what he calls a full-scale “data revolution” for the rental industry. Built on over 30 years of operational experience, The Owl brings predictive dashboards and advanced analytics into the hands of rental operators helping them finally see their business from a strategic, 20,000-foot view.In this conversation, Anthony breaks down why traditional reporting falls short, how better dashboards can eliminate up to half of a company's problems, and why data should empower not replace people. He also explains how this new partnership will scale his ideas globally, making sophisticated insights accessible to businesses of all sizes.Blending passion, experience, and bold vision, this episode is a deep dive into the future of rental intelligence and a call for operators to embrace data, think strategically, and lead with clarity in a rapidly evolving industry.

This episode features Sam Maurice and Gavin Richardson, who are fresh off a win, capturing the 4 ball tournament at Owl's Nest earlier this month. We talk about their high school careers in New Hampshire and their decision to attend Southern New Hampshire University to play on the golf team there and the success that team has had in recent years. We then dive into the 4 ball tournament - from their blistering open round of 61 to how they found themselves in a playoff near darkness and how they won it on the second playoff hole.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we discuss Harry's patronus lessons with Lupin. Gryffindor continues to dominate on the quidditch pitch and Sirius Black breaks into Hogwarts again. The trio go on their Shrieking Shack adventure and Harry tries and fails to protect himself and Sirius from the descending dementors at the lake. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      1:31 I went to Scotland! Here is one of the tour guides I really loved who showed me around the Harry Potter world in Edinburgh.·      7:26 Quick recap and Harry and Lupin's lessons. The boggart dementor should be smaller than the actual thing so we can have some differentiation. When Harry is falling through his memory in the presence of the dementor, I don't like the film version of the fade to black. I would rather see it through Harry's eyes and watch the memory bleed into his reality. Lupin is there every step of the way, and we should really begin to trust Lupin in this opening.·      26:18 Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw quidditch match. More dementors get on the field, but it turns out to be Malfoy. Lupin is still impressed with his production of a patronus. Afterward, they return to their dorms and celebrate. Black breaks back into Hogwarts when they go to bed, and he and Harry have a dramatic chase through the castle. We look into his eyes for the first time.·      41:06 Episode seven opens with studying for OWLs. Harry and Ron are trying ot study for divination, but it's hopeless. Harry goes into for his OWL and Trelawny has a real prediction. There is clearly something afoot…·      43:26 The Shrieking Shack. This is the final sequence of this episode, and it is of course the famous Shrieking Shack chase. This scene should have the audience hating Sirius and turning on Lupin. We should see the horrible image of Lupin helping up Sirius and hugging him like a brother, but we soon learn the truth. Lupin transforms and the black dog defends the trio. Sirius collapses at the lake and Harry tries to defend him against the hundreds of dementors, but it's no use.  ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.comthepotterdiscussion.comNox

The Post Relevant Podcast is a secret brought to Earth through the wise Owl, handed off to a cadre of Hawks, red-eyed demon dogs, an army of Deer, an Air Force of Vultures, and borne to the foot of the the mystical Blue Heron, who blesses every episode and eventually drops them beneath the Blue Moon into the ears of local Rabbits. The Rabbits leave each episodes of the show on listener's doorsteps, wrapped inside an acorn shell encased in flower petals. Its a cottage industry, but very efficient!Twin Peaks: the Return: the DECODE returns with an interpretation of episode 9! Its a 'no-bells-and-whistles' soft reboot of our show, originally recorded in January 2025 at the beginning of the LA fires. Appropriate for a Twin Peaks podcast, and strangely synchronous for our current "Year of the Fire Horse" in 2026. Hosts Phil Ristaino and Justin Epifanio recount Justin's first-hand experience surviving the Los Angeles inferno. Then they go in deep into trying to explain TP:TR episode 9. Statements are made, like "Its a fucking morgue!" And they are not wrong. Cutting questions are posed, like "When did he lose his marbles?" Insights are given, like "When the dog got his cat's eyes?" Tammy poses. Chad huffs and puffs. William Hastings yearns for scuba diving and mixed drinks. All the while, the disembodied head and decapitated body of Major Briggs looms large, holds clues, and rings like a monastery bell. We discover much!Throughout the show, Phil recounts stories of being visited by different wild animals while exploring the city of Nashville TN. Its another trippy show!

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Larry Swanson, creator of the Knowledge Graph Insights Podcast, for their second conversation together. The two cover a wide range of interconnected topics, starting with a correction Larry makes about the true origin of the term "artificial intelligence," tracing it back to the 1956 Dartmouth Conference and its distinction from Norbert Wiener's cybernetics. From there, the conversation moves through the history and structure of knowledge graphs, ontologies, RDF (Resource Description Framework), and the W3C standards process, touching on concepts like the T-box, A-box, and C-box, as well as the 25th anniversary of the Semantic Web paper. Stewart and Larry also dig into the limitations of large language models — particularly around reasoning, confabulation, and what Larry describes as "cognitive surrender" — and why symbolic AI and knowledge engineering may hold answers that the neural network world hasn't fully embraced. The episode also ventures into consciousness, panpsychism, Michael Pollan's ideas, and Stewart's own hands-on experience vibe coding a personal chatbot to replace functionality he feels he's lost with recent changes to Claude. Larry's podcast can be found at kgi.fm.Timestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Larry Swanson; Larry corrects the record on AI's origin, distinguishing it from Norbert Wiener's cybernetics at the 1956 Dartmouth conference.05:00 - Larry discusses interviewing semantic web paper coauthors on its 25th anniversary; RDF's hidden ubiquity compared to SIM cards powering everything invisibly.10:00 - Knowledge graphs explained through t-box terms, a-box assertions, and Dave McComb's c-box; IKEA's three-layer knowledge graph as a practical example.15:00 - Stewart connects metadata complexity to AI needs; faceted search explained as c-box attributes driving product filtering experiences.20:00 - RDF 1.2 reification standards discussed; W3C's rigorous recommendation process powering governments and enterprises worldwide through collaborative standards.25:00 - Cyc project examined as influential "successful failure"; Pat Hayes bringing description logic into semantic web; LLMs lacking true reasoning capability.30:00 - Epistemological fault lines between human and computer intelligence; cognitive surrender paper reveals no intelligence threshold protects against AI manipulation.35:00 - Stewart's Claude regression problem drives chatbot vibe coding quest; small language models and domain-specific approaches explored as alternatives.40:00 - Consciousness discussion through Michael Pollan's panpsychism lens; language versus cognition disconnect revealing LLMs as pure token-stitching without genuine thought.45:00 - Context graphs as purpose-built knowledge graphs for AI; Stewart's planning agents versus coding agents architecture and ground truth verification problem.50:00 - Docs-as-code versus code-as-docs paradigm shift; knowledge graphs as universal verifiers against validated facts; RDF 1.2 enabling provenance and degrees of certainty.55:00 - Jessica Talisman's Knowledge Graph Academy recommended for onboarding; kgi.fm podcast shared; knowledge representation community needs better abstraction for wider adoption.Key Insights1. The term "artificial intelligence" was not a marketing gimmick but was coined deliberately at the 1956 Dartmouth Conference to distinguish the work of John McCarthy from Norbert Wiener's cybernetics. The two camps represented genuinely different approaches, and the AI label was a form of intentional intellectual branding rather than empty promotion.2. The semantic web, often called the most successful failure in technology history, has quietly embedded itself everywhere despite never achieving its original vision. Technologies like RDF power metadata standards inside every Adobe product and form the invisible backbone of government systems, enterprise data infrastructure, and cultural heritage organizations worldwide.3. Knowledge graphs are best understood as an ontology combined with all the instances that populate it. The distinction between things and strings, popularized by Google in 2012, captures the core idea that knowledge representation is about concepts as distinct from the labels we give them.4. The t-box, a-box, and c-box framework offers a practical model for understanding knowledge architecture. The t-box holds terminology and concepts, the a-box holds assertions about specific instances, and the c-box manages the attributes, taxonomies, and controlled vocabularies that sit between them and enable things like faceted search.5. Large language models produce fluent, convincing output but lack genuine reasoning, epistemological grounding, or judgment. Research on cognitive surrender shows that even people who understand how LLMs work are still susceptible to being misled by their fluency, meaning intelligence and awareness offer no reliable protection against being deceived.6. The gap between language and cognition matters deeply when evaluating AI. Evidence from people with aphasia shows that thinking can occur without language, which suggests LLMs, being purely language-based systems, are missing a fundamental layer of cognition that cannot be recovered through more tokens or better training.7. Knowledge graphs and RDF-based representation are well suited to the problem of verification and grounding in AI systems. Rather than relying on vectorized embeddings of language, a knowledge graph can store validated, provenance-tracked facts with degrees of certainty, making it a natural foundation for building trustworthy AI applications.

I am good. I protest. I save people. I must save the world - now.  If this even slightly feels like something you've told yourself, then this episode is for you. Author and campaigner Anthea Lawson's brilliant new book is called How Not To Save The World. It's about the 'script' that activists - including her - tell ourselves, often without realising it. From this script, which can come from deep cultural and psychological places, comes many things that aren't much help - like burnout, the excusing of bad behaviour, and pushing people away rather than persuading them.  Instead Anthea's got a new recipe for change-making which is better for the activists, and better for the world. I loved Anthea's book and, as will become abundantly clear, it spoke to me good and proper. If you've ever wrestled with how to be a good activist, I commend it, and this chat, to you in the highest terms. Let me know your thoughts on the show - hello@yourbrainonclimate.com.

If you've ever been told to "move on" from grief, Episode 436 of the Grief and Happiness podcast will change how you think about healing forever. Michael Reed, who lost his wife and both daughters in the Gatlinburg wildfire, reveals why the five stages of grief are a myth and shares the moment he finally smiled at a memory before the tears came.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:04) Introduction to Michael Reed and his story of loss (01:26) Losing his wife and daughters in the 2016 Gatlinburg wildfire (04:01) Why the five stages of grief are a myth (06:11) The taboo around men expressing grief and the power of vulnerability (07:30) How a late-night Facebook post launched his writing career (08:45) Why all grief — from divorce to empty nesting — is fundamentally the same (10:26) The difference between moving on and moving forward (13:48) The moment he smiled at a memory before the tears came (16:06) What makes Michael a natural writer and the courage it takes to be vulnerable (19:18) How dreams and signs from loved ones keep connection alive (24:30) Healing in your grief — not from it (25:54) Where to find Michael's books and free grief resourcesMichael Reed is an author, speaker, and certified grief coach whose work focuses on grief, psychological adaptation, and long-term healing following traumatic loss. On November 28, 2016, he lost his wife Constance and both daughters, Chloe and Lily, in the wildfire that devastated Gatlinburg, Tennessee — a tragedy that became the catalyst for his life's mission. That journey produced his bestselling book The Million Stages of Grief, which challenges the oversimplified five-stage model and honors the deeply individual nature of loss, followed by The Million Stages of Healing and a children's book, The Owl and the Ladybug. Michael is also a certified grief coach pursuing a degree in Behavioral Science, and serves as president of Emily's Grief and Happiness Alliance nonprofit.In this episode, Michael shares the raw philosophy behind his writing — that grief isn't limited to death, but encompasses any significant loss, and that its universality is precisely what connects us. He recounts how a middle-of-the-night journal entry posted on Facebook sparked his entire authorship career, and introduces his newest book, The Million Stages of Healing, built around the distinction between moving on and moving forward — carrying love for those we've lost into each new day. A turning point he describes is smiling at a photo of his daughter Lily and realizing he had taken his first step toward healing. He speaks openly about vulnerability, signs from loved ones, and the particular stigma men face around expressing grief.Connect with Michael Reed:WebsiteInstagramTikTokBook: Michael Reed - The Million Stages of GriefLet's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterPinterestThe Grief and Happiness AllianceBook: Emily Thiroux Threatt - Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief Hosted on Acast.
