While the principles of honesty, willingness, and change remain consistent, people find healing through different approaches — 12-step programs, faith-based groups, peer support, therapy, service work, and more. Today we're exploring what “multiple pathways” really means, how different approaches can support recovery, and why willingness and action matter more than labels. Join the conversation and share what pathway helped you most. No one trudges alone.

Today, the MHRA puts the brakes on the UK's PATHWAYS puberty blocker trial work while safety concerns get addressed, the UK's space-weather mission heads toward its launch site (because satellites don't protect themselves), and NASA's Artemis II rocket gets rolled back for more fixes — yes, really. After that: a quick cyber patch warning, a punchy Arc Raiders update, and Samsung's Unpacked week landing like a new phone season jump-scare. More on standard.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Is your view of God big enough to handle your bank account? In this powerful message from the "Pathways" series, Dr. Roger Patterson dives into 1 Chronicles 29 to explore the profound connection between our worship and our wealth. Many of us live under the stress of "ownership," clinging tightly to what we have, only to find ourselves in a cycle of lack and anxiety. Dr. Patterson challenges us to shift our mindset from owner to steward, recognizing that everything we have—our time, our talent, and our treasure—belongs to God first. Drawing from the example of King David and the warnings of the Prophet Malachi, this sermon reveals how joyful, sacrificial giving isn't something God wants from you, but something He wants for you.  In this sermon, you'll discover: The Five Principles of Joyful Worship: Why true joy begins by seeing God exactly as He is.  Breaking the "Curse of Greed": How tithing shifts your perspective from what you lack to how God provides.  The "Multiplier" Effect: Why God's math is different than ours and how He rewards faithfulness.  Leaving a Legacy: The responsibility of older generations to model generosity and younger generations to step out in faith.  "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."  If you are ready to break the cycle of financial chaos and experience the peace that comes with trusting God's provision, this message is for you.

The gang debates the SAVE America Act, the proposal requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Supporters say it strengthens election integrity, while opponents argue noncitizen voting is already illegal and rare and warn the documentation requirements could disenfranchise eligible voters. Then they turn to “Amelia,” the purple haired character from a UK government-backed anti-extremism game called Pathways, who became an unlikely internet mascot after critics argued her concerns about immigration and national identity were framed as extremism.

When the Prodigal Returns Home - A Relational Look at the Parable of the Prodigal Son What do we learn about God - the Father? [Be like Him]1. We cannot behave so badly that He will reject us when we return2. He is looking for us to return even when He lets us go do what we insist on doing3. God is patient, waiting for us to come to our senses4. His priority is to restore a relationship with Him first before everything else5. He defends His actions to His critics and protects the prodigal who returnsWhat do we learn about sin, its effects, and restoration ? [Be wise in our choices]1. Sin changes our perspective to focus on ourselves and our desires2. Sin objectifies people and causes us to use people for our own selfish purposes3. Sin blinds us to the ultimate consequences of our actions4. Ultimately, sin can be a motivator to influence us to return to God5. Sin does not overpower the love of God6. It's never too late to return to God no matter how much we have sinned7. God is eager to restore usWhat do we learn about the prodigal? [come home]1. When we put our mind to do something God doesn't want us to do, He will let us2. When we disregard who we know we should be as Christians, God never discards us but waits for us to return to him 3. We return to God presenting our terms to him (be a hired servant) but God restores us to our rightful place as his child 4. We, like the prodigal, can be shocked at the compassion, mercy, grace,forgiveness,and restoration of God 5. Not everyone will be happy that we returned and that God is rejoicing. Some think we should be punished What do we learn about being judgmental on those who return to God? [Rejoice when sinners return]1. We can have a heart that does not reflect the love of the Father2. We can have a transactional relationship with God - we do something for Him and He is obligated , in our mind, to do something for us3. We can refuse to join God in His celebration of restoration4. We can hold grudges against people who have sinned and shamed themselves and the Christian community 5. We can expect that God should have honored us at an earlier time or instead of someone else

This episode is a masterclass in what it really costs to be a Black man in education and what it takes to build something better. Sharif El-Mekki (Center for Black Educator Development) breaks down the “trifecta” that grinds educators down, why many recruitment efforts are ill-informed and unserious, and how a student-led rallying cry became a national pipeline movement: #WeNeedBlackTeachers.

Awareness of attachment styles in relationships is crucial for maintaining healthy, sustainable relationships. Once you are aware of your attachment styles in relationships, you will begin to see areas where you may need healing. Understanding Attachment Styles and Anxiety Understanding how you relate to others is deeply influenced by your attachment style. This concept, rooted in early life, plays a pivotal role in how you experience relationships today. The Root of Attachment Styles Attachment styles begin to form during the first three years of life when the brain and nervous system are most malleable. Types of Attachment Styles There are several types of attachment styles to consider: Secure Attachment: Developed through consistently supportive caregiving, resulting in trusting and balanced relationships. Anxious Attachment: Arises when caregivers are unpredictable, leading to worry about relationships being untrustworthy or unstable. Avoidant Attachment: Occurs when a caregiver is consistently dismissive or unavailable, causing an emotional distance in adult relationships. Disorganized Attachment: Results from trauma or inconsistent caregiving, creating confusion and fear around intimacy. The Impact of Anxiety Attachment styles are not merely theoretical; they are intricately connected to anxiety levels in relationships. Anxious and avoidant tendencies can manifest through fear of abandonment or difficulty with closeness and vulnerability. Pathways to Healing and Establishing Secure Attachment Awareness is the primary step in transforming your attachment style. Here are some methods to guide your journey: Therapy and Professional Support: Engaging in therapy, especially when informed by attachment theory, can provide profound insights and tools for change. Techniques such as Somatic Experiencing or neurofeedback can aid in reconditioning the nervous system. Grief and Story Work: Unprocessed grief from childhood needs acknowledgment. Story work in a supportive group setting can help reframe past narratives, providing healing and a sense of empowerment. Co-Regulation: Finding relationships where co-regulation is possible helps. Whether through therapy, a coach, or a supportive spouse, being with someone who models secure attachment can naturally elevate your own attachment style. Exploring Spiritual and Emotional Growth: Acknowledging Christianity's role can also promote healing. Secure faith and trust in Jesus as your savior can provide stability and comfort. The Crucial Role of Community Healing from attachment-related wounds is not a solitary journey. Awareness, Acknowledgement, and Hard Holy Work Acknowledging and working with your attachment style is a critical component of improving interpersonal relationships and managing anxiety. A Relationship With the Lord God is at our side and ready to help us heal. Read the full show notes and access all links.

"It is physiologically contraindicated for nurses to remain in practice" Nurses Uncorked welcomes back Dr. Lorre Laws PhD, RN to the podcast. In this episode, Nurse Erica shares her personal journey as the primary caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer's Disease. This conversation delves into the impact of unintegrated trauma on nurses and the necessity for self-compassion to aid in recovery. The discussion highlights the silent epidemic of nurse-specific trauma and how it affects nurses' mental and physical health. The statistics reveal high rates of PTSD, depression, substance abuse, and suicide among nurses. The conversation emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the nervous system and the importance of addressing personal and professional struggles faced by healthcare workers. The discussion also touches on trauma education lacking in nursing programs and asks the question - are nurses being traumatized to monetize? Interested in Sponsoring the Show?

The line trade gives apprentices the opportunity to earn while they learn and train for a lifelong career powering their communities. Before they even join an apprenticeship program, however, some high school graduates are learning the basics of line work through a pre-apprenticeship. For example, our latest ICYMI episode of the Line Life Podcast highlights the one-year Electric Utility Technology Program at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) in Iowa. This article, "Training for a Future Career on the Line," which originally appeared in the October 2025 issue of T&D World magazine, spotlights two former students: Trevor Grefe and Kellen Miller. Grefe became interested in the line trade because he wanted to work with his hands, found the concept of electricity fascinating and wanted to help people. Miller learned about opportunities in line work as an intern at an architectural firm after seeing a photo of a lineworker hanging out of a helicopter, working on a transmission line.  For more information, visit DMACC's training program website or read the article on T&D World's website. 

What if autism isn't caused by just one thing. What if the cause is a complex combination of genetics, environment, and inflammation?About Kashif KhanKashif Khan is Founder of The DNA Company, a pioneering organization advancing personalized medicine through deeper interpretation of the human genome.Raised in Vancouver, Canada, in an immigrant family, Kashif cultivated a strong entrepreneurial drive early in life. Before launching The DNA Company, he served as an advisor to numerous high-growth startups across diverse industries.Through his work in functional genomics, Kashif discovered that his own genetic blueprint reflects a natural inclination toward entrepreneurship. At the same time, his genetic profile also revealed an increased sensitivity to environmental pollutants — insights that further fueled his passion for personalized, preventive health solutions.In this eye-opening episode, Kashif Khan, Founder of The DNA Company and author of The DNA Way, discusses emerging research on autism's root causes. They include genetic pathways, toxic exposures, and chronic inflammation.

Episode 31 explores the sacred role of nursing in psychedelic-assisted therapy with Wendy Marussich, co-founder of the Organization of Psychedelic and Entheogenic Nurses (OPENurses). Wendy shares her unique journey from evolutionary ecologist to oncology nurse to psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and discusses why nurses are uniquely suited for psychedelic work. In this episode, we discuss: Wendy's unconventional path from PhD biologist to oncology nurse, driven by a desire for more meaningful, heart-centered work that could make a tangible difference in people's lives How nurses' training in grounded presence, "non-awkward touch," and crisis management translates perfectly to psychedelic support work—from holding space during difficult journeys to recognizing when someone needs medical intervention The critical importance of discussing consent and boundaries around touch before a session, including practical techniques like testing different types of touch beforehand and using "imaginal touch" when physical contact isn't desired The mission of OPENurses: Creating professional support, education, and ethical standards for nurses working in psychedelic therapy, while advocating for full inclusion of nurses in this emerging field Why having a nurse in the room automatically increases safety as they can authoritatively reassure patients about medical status in a way that truly lands, especially in altered states when perception is heightened Pathways for nurses interested in psychedelic work, including ketamine training programs, experiential learning, and the importance of doing your own inner work before supporting others Resources Mentioned: Open Nurses (Organization of Psychedelic and Entheogenic Nurses): https://www.opennurses.org Open Nurses YouTube Channel: Monthly interview series with nurses working in psychedelic spaces: https://www.youtube.com/@OPENurses Open Nurses Facebook Group: Community support and networking: https://www.facebook.com/OPENurses The Microdose Newsletter: Free newsletter from UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics - https://psychedelics.berkeley.edu/about-the-microdose/ PRATI (Psychedelic Research and Training Institute): Ketamine training program in Colorado - https://pratigroup.org Polaris Insight Center: Psychedelic therapy training - https://www.polarisinsight.com Zendo Project: Peer support for people having difficult psychedelic experiences at festivals - https://zendoproject.org Kay Parley's Article: "Supporting the Patient on LSD Day" - American Journal of Nursing, 1964 Connect with Carla If you're inspired by this episode and want to stay connected, follow Carla and Psychedelic Divas on social media or visit the website to get your Psychedelic Safety Guide Including What to Do When Things Go Wrong: Website: PsychedelicDivas.com Carla's Coaching: CarlaDetchon.com Instagram: @psychedelicdivas YouTube: @carladetchon Subscribe & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review Psychedelic Divas.

Projects stall when one expert carries the content, decisions, and approvals. We flip that script with a clear, usable playbook for building a stakeholder highway—bringing sponsors, learners, frontline leaders, operations, tech, and compliance into the right moments so training actually lands in the real world. You'll hear why SME-only pathways create bottlenecks and blind spots, how to map the roles that matter, and when to loop each voice in across discovery, design, development, implementation, and evaluation.Roadblocks happen: the ghost SME, conflicting leader feedback, or last-minute compliance asks. Jackie shares practical responses, from clarifying who decides versus who advises to offering trade-off options that protect timelines without sacrificing quality. A quick scenario shows the reset in action—expanding beyond one overbooked SME to include a frontline manager, operations, tech, and a learner pilot—so the course is accurate, feasible, and ready for day one performance. Close with one task: sketch a one-page stakeholder highway for your next project, add two new partners, and watch momentum return. If this approach helps you, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave a review so more designers can build learning that sticks.

A landmark study that uses brain organoids from different people with different genes associated with autism showed that the different genes act as roads that go on different journeys to the same destination. This will be an enormously important discovery for identifying targets to treat different autism symptoms across different genetic causes of autism and understand the diversity of symptoms. Also, the new Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee was announced and there is not much breadth of perspectives. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-10047-5

Ep 139 - Hosts JP Mint and Greg Lemoine reconnect with longtime international educator and MYP middle school principal Chris Irvin, whose 20+ year journey spans Canada, Venezuela and China. Chris shares how he built a sustainable international teaching career—starting in a small Venezuelan school, transitioning into leadership, and eventually moving into MYP and IB continuum leadership at a large international school in Shenzhen. The conversation dives into international school hiring, what administrators really look for beyond credentials, how schools evaluate “right fit” and the elusive “plus one” candidates bring to a community, and why IB and MYP experience is not always required to get hired. Listeners also hear candid stories about local vs expat contracts, raising Third Culture Kids, language learning abroad, safety and independence for teens overseas, and memorable life moments—from power blackouts and police encounters in Venezuela to building a new life in China.

This week on Sinica, I speak with Ryan Hass, director of the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings and one of the most clear-eyed analysts of the U.S.-China relationship working today. Ryan was director for China at the NSC during the Obama Administration.As Donald Trump moves through his second year in office, the bilateral relationship has defied easy characterization. The once-dominant language of great power competition has receded, China hawks have been sidelined, and Trump's personalistic approach—marked by praise for Xi Jinping and a willingness to bracket ideological disputes—represents a sharp departure from recent Washington orthodoxy.Ryan has just published an essay laying out three plausible pathways for the relationship under Trump: a soft landing, a hard split, or what he considers most likely—a period of uneasy calm in which both sides seek stability not out of trust, but out of mutual constraint. We discuss Trump's apparent strategy, the vibe shift in American attitudes, Beijing's choice between managing Trump versus managing uncertainty, the critical importance of Xi's planned April visit, and whether we're headed toward genuine stabilization or just buying time before the next collision.5:24 – Trump's approach: respect for Xi, military deterrence, and the rare earths constraint8:03 – The vibe shift and Trump's “reptilian feel” for American exhaustion with confrontation10:52 – Three scenarios: soft landing, hard split, or uneasy calm through mutual constraint16:30 – Beijing's bet: managing Trump versus managing whoever comes next26:46 – Economic interdependence and why decoupling is like “separating egg whites from a scrambled egg”37:12 – The April visit as a critical test: pageantry, protests, and what both sides are watching for42:18 – Taiwan as the most dangerous variable and where theory meets practice46:58 – Lack of institutional guardrails and the risks of Trump's personalistic foreign policyPaying it forward:Audrye Wong (USC)Recommendations:Ryan: The Conscience of the Party: Hu Yaobang, China's Communist Reformer by Robert SuettingerKaiser: The Last Cavalier (Le Chevalier de Sainte-Hermine) by Alexandre Dumas; Asia Society conversation with Lizzi Lee, Bert Hoffmann, and Gerard DiPippo on rebalancing China's economy; Trivium China Podcast with Andrew Polk, Joe Peissel, Danny McMahon, and Cory Combs on capital expenditure headwindsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Jessica Peatross to discuss what it means to heal beyond the traditional medical system. Dr. Peatross shares how her work shifted from symptom based care to a root cause approach, and why nervous system regulation is often the missing piece for people struggling with chronic symptoms.They talk through detox pathways, trauma stored in the body, and why healing cannot happen when the nervous system does not feel safe.
