** We'll discuss this episode on Tuesday, March 10th (8 pm ET/5 pm PT) in our online community gathering, Macro ‘n Chill. We've invited Erald Kolasi to join us. So bring your questions. Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/hvkv5uyKQkG8DvgUMCckcwErald Kolasi is back to attack the bourgeois narrative on immigration, which reduces it to a series of individual choices. He and Steve dig into the material roots of migration, showing how empire, land theft, war, labor exploitation, and capitalist crisis have shaped global migration flows for centuries.They ground the discussion in Wallerstein's world-systems theory, defining an empire not by its internal politics but by its extractive external relations, and trace the concrete historical processes of this extraction. The "migration boomerang" from US destabilization in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador – driven by the needs of capital like the United Fruit Company – demonstrates the dialectic in action.The empire's domination creates the displaced peoples it then scapegoats to divide the working class. Erald connects this to the long arc of capitalist development, from the Atlantic slave system to the prison-industrial complex, showing how the ruling class has always used race and nationality to prevent united class consciousness.With the MMT lens, Steve explains that this is directly tied to how a Federal Job Guarantee would shatter this dynamic by eliminating the "reserve army of labor" and the power of capital to discipline workers.Erald Kolasi is a writer and researcher focusing on the nexus between energy, technology, economics, complex systems, and ecological dynamics. His book, The Physics of Capitalism, came out from Monthly Review Press in February 2025. He received his PhD in Physics from George Mason University in 2016.

En esta entrevista, calificada por la misma Martha Nussbaum como una de las más conmovedoras que le han hecho, la filósofa estadounidense conversa con el filósofo y escritor Carlos Vásquez Tamayo sobre la vulnerabilidad, la tragedia griega y el lugar de las artes en la vida democrática. Un encuentro organizado por el Parque Explora y la @udea. Nussbaum ha dedicado décadas a demostrar que las emociones no son fuerzas irracionales sino formas de conocimiento. “Mi trabajo es sobre la relación entre las emociones y la justicia social, porque sin comprender cómo sienten las personas, no podemos hacer buenas leyes ni buenas instituciones”, ha dicho sobre el eje de su pensamiento. Su propuesta del Enfoque de las Capacidades —desarrollada junto al economista Amartya Sen— cambió la manera en que organismos como el Banco Mundial miden el desarrollo: no solo por el crecimiento económico, sino por las oportunidades reales que tienen las personas para llevar una vida digna, con salud, educación, participación política y tiempo para el juego y la amistad. Martha C. Nussbaum es filósofa y escritora. Es profesora de Derecho y Ética en la Universidad de Chicago, con cátedra conjunta en la Facultad de Derecho y el Departamento de Filosofía. Entre sus más de 20 libros publicados se cuentan La fragilidad del bien, El cultivo de la humanidad, Sin fines de lucro y Crear capacidades. Ha recibido el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de Ciencias Sociales (2012), el Premio Kyoto en Artes y Filosofía (2016), el Premio Berggruen (2018) y el Premio Holberg (2021). Carlos Vásquez Tamayo es poeta, ensayista, traductor y PhD en Filosofía. Ha publicado, entre otros, los libros de poesía Anónimos, El jardín de la sonámbula, El oscuro alimento, Agua tu sed y Desnúdame de mí. Algunos de sus ensayos son La nada luminosa - Fernando Pessoa, un poeta de la naturaleza, Eclipse de sol sobre Bataille y El arte jovial: la duplicidad apolíneo-dionisíaca en el nacimiento de la tragedia de Nietzsche.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1329 The Dream That Wouldn't Fade: Was This Vision a Warning? After a night of unsettling clarity, Richard Syrett recounts a dream so vivid it refuses to fade. Was it simply the mind sorting chaos… or something more ominous? Joined by cognitive scientist Dr. Andrew Paquette, Richard explores whether dreams can carry warnings, messages—or glimpses of events not yet unfolded. GUEST: Dr. Andrew Paquette is a cognitive scientist with a PhD from King's College London whose research explores the frontier where consciousness, dreams, and psi phenomena intersect. His work investigates precognitive dreams, veridical out-of-body experiences, and death-related dream encounters. Paquette is the author of Dreamer: 20 Years of Psychic Dreams and How They Changed My Life, a deeply personal and scientific exploration of how dreams may function as gateways to information beyond ordinary waking awareness.

Topic: Career and Technical Education • Career Pathways • Workforce Readiness Today our guest is Brooke Martin, Executive Director of Career and Technical Education at Aldine ISD in Texas. We talk about why career and technical education (CTE) is becoming essential for helping students explore career pathways and workforce opportunities while still in high school. Brooke shares how industry certifications, work-based learning, and strong community partnerships allow students to gain real-world experience and make more informed decisions about their future. In this conversation, Brooke offers clear reminders for leaders working to expand career pathways and student engagement: Career and technical education gives students real-world experiences that help them explore career paths earlier. Industry certifications and work-based learning allow students to graduate with skills that translate directly into the workforce. Exposure to multiple career pathways helps students make more informed decisions about college, careers, and future opportunities. Hands-on learning increases student engagement by connecting classroom learning to real-life applications.

In this remaster episode I'm talking to Carla Wills-Brandon about her book 'Heavenly Hugs: Comfort, Support, and Hope From the Afterlife' Does life end at death? The answer is no! The nearly 2,000 cases of departing visions and visitations from deceased relatives and friends collected by the author prove that there is life after death. At the moment of physical death, departed loved ones return to the dying to ease travel from this life to the next. Friends, family, and healthcare workers also report seeing these loving spiritual travel guides. Such encounters--reported by individuals from a wide variety of cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds--clearly illustrate that the personality, soul, or consciousness does not disappear or "die." To live our lives to the fullest, we must relieve ourselves of the false notion that death is the end. Departing visions help us do this. Heavenly Hugs will introduce you to both historical and modern-day departing visions, proving: The dying have been reuniting with the departed--for centuries Departed loved ones escort the dying to the other side or next dimension Something has often been seen leaving the physical body at the moment of death Famous people have experienced beautiful departing visions Bio Carla Wills-Brandon always wanted to do two things professionally: be of service to others, and write. After receiving a scholarship to California State University, Fresno, she graduated with high honors and a degree in psychology. She then went on to finish a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, Fresno, an APA approved school. Her husband, Michael “Tex” Brandon, also received his PhD in Clinical Psychology from this institution. After publishing eight books, and developing a successful private practice as a State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Carla decided to go back to school. Not interested in treading a traditional education path she completed a two year course of study and dissertation in a Doctor of Philosophy in Holistic Nutrition program at Clayton College of Holistic Health. Her dissertation was titled “A Four Pronged Approach to the Holistic Treatment of Food Disorders.” Carla has published 12 books, one of which was a "Publishers Weekly Best Seller." Her most recent book, “Beyond The Chase: Breaking Your Obsessions That Sabotage True Intimacy” is proving to be a great success. She has also lectured across the U.S. and U.K., and has appeared on numerous national radio and television programs, such as Coast To Coast Radio with George Noory, Geraldo Rivera, Sally Jesse Raphael, Montel Williams, Art Bell's Coast To Coast Radio Show, Uri Geller's Coast To Coast Radio Show and Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher. Considered a relationship and trauma expert, many of her media appearances have been dedicated to discussing healthy intimacy, recovery from sexual abuse and trauma resolution. She has also appeared on several programs with her husband Michael, as the two clinicians often see couples in their private practice as a couple. Aside from her work with relationships, intimacy issues, sexual dysfunction, addiction, trauma resolution and grief, Carla has been investigating spirituality and other related phenomenon for over a decade. Her major radio show appearances have been dedicated to topics ranging from Near Death Experiences, After Death Communications, Deathbed Visions and Premonitions. She is considered to be one of the leading researchers into deathbed visions. In her private practice, grief work, lectures and workshops she teaches people how to integrate these unusual encounters into everyday living. Currently, she is working on another project involving the mysterious departing visions of the dying. Carla and her family live on an island just off the coast of Texas in a 100-year-old historical home, which recently survived hurricane Ike in 2008. She and her husband, Dr. Michael Brandon Ph.D., a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, have been in private practice for over two decades. They have been married for over 40 years. The Brandons have two sons, Joshua and Aaron. Along with this, they have one Golden Retriever, four kitties, one Chinese box turtle, and two Love Birds. Sadly, the tarantula did not survive hurricane Ike. https://www.drcarlawillsbrandon.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J1LYL55 https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send a textDr. John Delony on Anxiety, Marriage, and Turning Insight into ActionIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we  welcome Dr. John Delony to discuss how lasting change requires action, not just insight. Delony connects his approach to lessons from his father, a homicide detective and hostage negotiator who moved toward crisis, and his mother, who began college at 42 and earned a PhD at 57. He argues anxiety is an internal alarm system and that money, anger, and relationship problems often signal deeper issues beneath surface labels. Delony critiques cultural narratives that prioritize feelings and overload romantic partners amid widespread loneliness, urging couples to build friendship, service, and practical “repair” strategies. He recommends choosing reality through honest inventories, building trusted connections (including “outsourcing” perspective to reliable people), and prioritizing health, sleep, and faith. The episode includes sponsorship messages for Colel Chabad's Pushka app and Shefa Living's Mountain View community.EPISODE SPONSORSColel Chabad Colel Chabad is one of Israel's oldest continuously operating charities, supporting families with food security, widows & orphans, and emergency relief.  This episode is powered by their Pushka (Charity Box) App, which makes it easy to turn inspiration into action with simple daily giving—small “micro-donations” that add up to real impact over time.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Douglas MacGregor to the show. Douglas is a retired U.S. Army Colonel and Decorated Combat Veteran. In this in-depth discussion, MacGregor provides a critical analysis of the current geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly focusing on the conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. MacGregor argues that the current military strategy against Iran is fundamentally flawed, with no clear purpose or achievable end state. He suggests that the United States and Israel are attempting to destabilize Iran, but this approach is unlikely to succeed. The colonel emphasizes that Iran’s primary goal is simply to survive, while the U.S. would need to completely conquer the nation – an impossible task given Iran’s size and resilience. The conversation delves into the broader economic implications of the conflict, particularly its impact on global oil markets and supply chains. MacGregor predicts significant economic disruption, with oil prices potentially exceeding $100 per barrel and widespread increases in commodity prices. He highlights the critical importance of resource sovereignty, emphasizing the need for nations to control their fuel, food, fertilizer, and defense supply chains. A key theme of the discussion is the potential acceleration of de-dollarization and the emergence of a new global financial system. MacGregor suggests that the United States and Israel are essentially “fighting against the future” by resisting these inevitable economic shifts. He points to the growing influence of BRICS nations and the increasing interest in alternative currency systems, potentially backed by gold or a basket of precious metals. MacGregor concludes with a stark warning about the destructive nature of current geopolitical strategies, arguing that these “pointless wars” are counterproductive and potentially catastrophic. He calls for more measured, strategic approaches to international relations and economic development, emphasizing the need for stability, long-term planning, and cooperation between governments and private sectors.

Macgregor was commissioned in the Regular Army in 1976 after 1 year at VMI and 4 years at West Point. In 2004, Macgregor retired with the rank of Colonel. In 2020, the President appointed Macgregor to serve as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense, a post he held until President Trump left office. He holds an MA in comparative politics and a PhD in international relations from the University of Virginia. Macgregor is widely known inside the U.S., Europe, Israel, Russia, China and Korea for both his leadership in the Battle of 73 Easting, the U.S. Army's largest tank battle since World War II, and for his ground breaking books on military transformation: Breaking the Phalanx (Praeger, 1997) and Transformation under Fire (Praeger, 2003). Macgregor's recommendations for change in Force Design and “integrated all arms-all effects” operations have profoundly influenced force development in Israel, Russia and China. In 2010, Macgregor traveled to Seoul, Korea to advise the ROK Ministry of Defense on force design. In 2019, Transformation under Fire was selected by Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi, Chief of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), as the intellectual basis for IDF transformation. His fifth book, Margin of Victory: Five Battles that Changed the Face of Modern War from Naval Institute Press is available in Chinese, as well as, English and will soon appear in Hebrew. In 28 years of service Macgregor taught in the Department of Social Sciences at West Point, commanded the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry, and served as the Director of the Joint Operations Center at SHAPE during the 1999 Kosovo Air Campaign for which he was awarded the Defense Superior Service medal. In January 2002, at Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's insistence the USCENTCOM Commander listened to Colonel Macgregor's concept for the offensive to seize Baghdad. The plan was largely adopted, but assumed no occupation of Iraq by U.S. Forces. Macgregor has also testified as an expert witness before the Senate and House Armed Services Committees and appeared as a defense analyst on Fox News, CNN, BBC, Sky News and public radio. He is fluent in German.

“Something inside me has broken, and I cannot seem to stop the Waters of my Love Song.”  These are the words of my beautiful guest this week, Dr. Loddie Foose, eloquently expressing her experience of the creative process. Dr. Loddie is a poet and storyteller whose work bridges imagination, inner healing, and grounded leadership. She is the creator of Soul Riders: Storybooks for Your Inner Child, a first-of-its-kind illustrated fiction series designed to invite adult readers into transformative self-discovery through narrative and reflective exploration. On this week's guest episode Loddie and I have a delightful time giggling and enjoying a beautiful conversation around the power of transforming trauma and pain into words of joy and inspiration. Loddie speaks on how story can be a healing tool; why narrative, metaphor, and imagination provide a safe, embodied pathway to inner truth and integration—especially for adults. She also shares her means of reconnecting with the inner child. How restoring and healing connection to our inner child rebuilds self-trust, emotional resilience, and a felt sense of permission to live and lead authentically. And of course I loved discussing using inner healing to gain outer leadership. How inner reconnection translates into women advocating for themselves, setting boundaries, and claiming their worth in the world.Bio:Alongside her soul-inspired writing journey, Dr. Loddie Foose continues her work as a global leader in strategy and business, blending strategic insight with rigorous analytical training (PhD and postdoctoral studies in chemical engineering) and a deep commitment to human flourishing. She is founder of DocDocFoose Business Consulting and Know Your Worth, a leadership development platform for women, and serves as President of The Imagine Fund, a nonprofit advancing equity in gender, health, education, and food access.Links:https://www.docdocfoose.com/companieshttps://www.know-your-worth.net/https://www.know-your-worth.net/imagine-fund

In this thoughtful and grounded conversation, Amy Wheeler is joined by Dr. Lauren Tober to explore two foundational pillars of ethical and effective yoga teaching and yoga therapy: scope of practice and the creation of a safe container.The episode begins with a clear and nuanced discussion of scope of practice—what it truly means, why it cannot be standardized across all practitioners, and how clarity protects both students and teachers. Dr. Tober emphasizes that scope of practice is shaped not only by formal training, but also by lived experience, competence, and confidence. Amy reflects on how her background in educational psychology and kinesiology informs her own scope, particularly in the areas of mental health and nervous system regulation.From there, the conversation moves into one of the most practical and quietly powerful parts of Dr. Tober's work: teaching yoga teachers how to create a safe container. Together, they explore why safety is not just about what is taught, but how space is held—relationally, predictably, and with nervous system awareness.Dr. Tober names an important reality: no space can ever be 100% safe for every person, given the diversity of lived experience and nervous system histories. Yet there is much teachers can do to increase the likelihood of felt safety—and doing so is foundational for healing, learning, and regulation. Without safety, students are less likely to return, more likely to become dysregulated, and less able to receive the benefits of practice.The discussion highlights how predictability, transparency, and thoughtful environmental choices support nervous system settling. Simple, often overlooked elements—starting and ending on time, explaining the structure of a class, orienting students to exits, maintaining consistent room setup, and letting students know how long a practice will last—can make a profound difference, especially for those who have rarely experienced spaces of welcome, inclusion, and belonging.Amy connects this directly to Polyvagal-informed teaching, emphasizing the importance of clearly naming what will happen during a class. While repeating this structure may feel unnecessary to seasoned students, it offers essential regulation cues to others—and does not limit creativity. Structure, as both Amy and Dr. Tober note, is not the opposite of freedom; it is what allows variation and creativity to land safely.Throughout the episode, a steady throughline emerges: clarity builds trust. Whether we are naming the edges of our scope of practice or the arc of a yoga class, transparency supports safety, integrity, and sustainability—for everyone involved.In This Episode, We Explore:·        What scope of practice means in yoga and yoga therapy·        Why scope is individual, contextual, and evolving·        Mental health awareness versus mental health treatment·        Trauma-informed yoga versus treating trauma·        Referral as an ethical and relational skill·        What a “safe container” actually is—and why it matters·        How predictability supports nervous system regulation·        Simple, practical ways teachers can increase felt safety·        Why structure does not limit creativity, but supports it·        How clarity and humility build student trustKey Takeaway: Safety and scope are not constraints. They are foundations. When we clearly name what we offer, how we hold space, and what students can expect, we create conditions for trust, regulation, and meaningful change.About the Guest:Clinical Psychologist, Yoga Teacher, Author + Host of A Grateful Life Podcastwww.yogapsychologyinstitute.com Host of the A Grateful Life Podcast - Conversations on mental health, yoga & living a good life. About the Host: www.TheOptimalState.com Amy Wheeler, PhD, C-IAYT, is the host of The Yoga Therapy Hour, an educator, yoga therapist, and leader in the integration of yoga therapy, psychology, and nervous system regulation. School of Integrative Health at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool Listen & Subscribe: Available wherever you listen to podcasts.

In Part Two of “Love Hurts: Leadership, Quality, and the Future of Hospice & Palliative Care,” leaders from the GeriPal podcast and TCNtalks / Anatomy of Leadership, continue a thoughtful discussion on the most pressing issues facing hospice and palliative care today.The conversation explores how waste, fraud, and abuse in isolated cases can tarnish the reputation of an entire field—even when the majority of providers deliver extraordinary care.  The panel dives into the evolving landscape of ownership models, from nonprofit and faith-based organizations to private equity–backed providers, raising an important question: does ownership affect quality, or does leadership and accountability matter more?  The discussion also examines structural challenges within the healthcare system, including flawed quality reporting tools like Medicare Compare and the unintended consequences of free-market dynamics in healthcare.  With over 300 hospices sometimes operating within a single county, leaders highlight the need for transparency, meaningful quality metrics, and thoughtful regulation such as Certificate of Need laws to ensure resources are distributed responsibly and patients receive the best possible care.  Finally, the conversation pivots to leadership—arguably the most important ingredient in shaping the future of hospice and palliative care.  From the principle of “Go See for Yourself” (Gemba Leadership) to the importance of servant leadership, focus, curiosity, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the panel shares powerful lessons for healthcare leaders navigating complex systems while staying grounded in mission-driven care for patients and families.Key TakeawaysFraud and bad actors can damage the reputation of the entire hospice field.  Ownership models matter less than maintaining high-quality patient care.  Healthcare markets lack true transparency and informed consumer choice.  Many hospices still lack meaningful public quality ratings.  Effective leaders stay close to the mission and frontline care.  (This episode is a Top News Stories of Month February 2026)TCNtalks:Chris Comeaux, President / CEO of TELEIOSTCNtalks Co-Host:Cordt Kassner, PhD, Publisher of Hospice & Palliative Care Today & CEO and Founder of Hospice Analytics GeriPal Podcast:Dr. Eric Widera, Professor of Medicine and clinician-educator in the Division of Geriatrics at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and co-host of Geri-Pal PodcastDr. Alex Smith, UCSF faculty in the Division of Geriatrics and ) and co-host of Geri-Pal PodcastTeleios Collaborative Network / https://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcast

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Charles Zuker, PhD, a professor of biochemistry, molecular biophysics and neuroscience at Columbia University and an Investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). We explore taste perception and how the brain transforms chemical signals from food into distinct taste experiences. We discuss how these taste signals shape both conscious choices and unconscious behavior, as well as how food preferences can change over time. Additionally, we discuss gut–brain signaling and explain why sugar is especially powerful at driving cravings. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Sarah's mom had to have surgery, and we find out how one of our recent episodes could've prevented this unfortunate incident. Let's just say: plank at your own risk. A man decided to do an entire marathon doing lunges instead of running like a normal person, and, spoiler alert, it didn't go well. Sarah talks about two ladies who got locked into a Scottish castle overnight. Susie has breaking serial pooper news.

The unseen battle is more real than most of us realize — and the Bible has a lot more to say about it than we've been taught.Dr. Joel Muddamalle, director of theology and research at Proverbs 31 Ministries, joins Joshua Lewis to unpack the cosmic spiritual warfare woven throughout Scripture — from the Garden of Eden to the cross of Christ. Drawing on his PhD research in biblical theology under Dr. Patrick Schreiner and the late Dr. Michael Heiser, Joel walks us through the divine council worldview, the two-family household of God, and why the supernatural rebellion described in Genesis 6 and Deuteronomy 32:8–9 isn't just ancient history — it's the backstory of the gospel itself.We cover:-Eden as the mountain of God and the original household of the divine council-The sons of God (Ben Elohim), the Nephilim, and what Genesis 6 is actually describing-The Tower of Babel, the scattering of nations, and the gods placed over them-How Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension disarms the rulers and authorities-What spiritual warfare actually looks like in the everyday life of a believer0:00 – Introduction4:10 – Book's purpose12:13 – Numb to supernatural18:56 – Eden as temple24:11 – God's two-family household32:03 – “Let us” debate42:43 – Genesis 6 Nephilim54:00 – Ancient myths context1:06:05 – Babel and nations1:16:40 – Jesus and powers1:29:50 – Spiritual warfare today1:40:29 – Closing thoughtsABOUT THE GUEST:

If you've been feeling burnt out, emotionally exhausted, and quietly assuming that must mean you're failing… I want you to hear this clearly: You are not failing. You're capable. You're invested. You're doing a lot right. And if motherhood still feels heavy? That heaviness often shows up as guilt—guilt for being tired, guilt for wanting space, guilt for not enjoying every single moment the way you think you “should.” In this episode, I'm joined by Josh Davis, a cognitive behavioral psychologist, co-author of the USA Today bestseller The Difference That Makes the Difference, a master practitioner and trainer in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), and founder of the Science-Based Leadership Institute. Josh teaches the science of how people actually change—not by trying harder, but by updating the beliefs and mental models driving our reactions. We dig into the specific beliefs that quietly fuel mom guilt and emotional exhaustion… and what shifts when you start updating them. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why moms default to “I'm failing” when they struggle—and how that belief fuels shame instead of change The NLP presupposition “There is no failure, only feedback” and how it instantly creates more options for what to do next Why you're not reacting to “reality”… you're reacting to your internal map of reality (and how that explains overwhelm) The powerful reminder: “The map is not the territory”—and how it helps you stop treating feelings like facts How to “earn the right to influence” your kids (or anyone) by understanding the reality where their behavior makes sense Why telling your kid “it's not a big deal” usually backfires—and what to do instead The belief “All the resources I need are already within me” and how it helps you stop outsourcing confidence to the next system, script, or strategy A practical mindset shift: treating change like an experiment instead of a life sentence How to define success in a way that's actually within your control—so you stop evaluating yourself with impossible standards Why incremental change is often the fastest way to create lasting transformation Why This Episode Matters So many overwhelmed moms don't need more discipline, more hustle, or another productivity hack. What you really need is to identify the beliefs running in the background—because when those beliefs go unseen, normal stress turns into shame. And shame is heavy. But once you can update the belief underneath it all, you don't have to “try harder” to feel better. You start responding differently because you're seeing the situation differently.

Send a textMitochondria in human evolution, climate adaptation, maternal genetics, aging, and disease.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Endosymbiotic theory: Mitochondria arose from oxidative bacteria engulfed by archaea-like hosts, confirmed by phylogenetic analysis.Maternal mtDNA inheritance: Mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother, not the father. There are adaptive reasons for this.Haplogroups & adaptation: Tropical lineages tightly couple energy production for efficiency; northern ones uncouple to generate heat.Heteroplasmy & aging: Mixed mutant and normal mitochondria accumulate in cells, eroding energy in high-demand tissues like brain and heart.Bioenergetics in disease: Many common conditions, from Parkinson's to cancer, stem from mitochondrial-nuclear interactions rather than nuclear genes alone.Ketogenic diets: High-fat intake fuels mitochondrial beta-oxidation, which may compensate for brain energy deficits in epilepsy and bipolar disorder.Warburg effect: Cancer cells shift to glycolysis to prioritize biosynthetic building blocks over maximal ATP production.Modern mismatches: Global travel pairs ancestral mtDNA with mismatched diets and climates, raising risks for metabolic dysfunction.ABOUT THE GUEST: Douglas Wallace, PhD is a geneticist and evolutionary biologist who has studied mitochondria for over 50 years. He currently directs the Center for Mitochondrial and Epigenomic Medicine at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 260 | Energy Resistance Principle in Life, Healing & Disease | Martin Picard & Nirosha MuruganSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

“Honesty doesn't have to be brutal. Honesty can be compassionate. Honesty can be respectful.” -Dr. Cory NewmanEpisode OverviewIn this episode, host Dr. Jennifer Reid sits down with Dr. Cory Newman, PhD to explore how the core principles of cognitive behavioral therapy can be woven into our everyday communication with partners, friends, family, coworkers, and even ourselves. What begins as a conversation about therapy technique quickly becomes a practical guide to navigating disagreements, setting boundaries, and showing up more compassionately in all our relationships.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Reid draws connections to her book Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations (Penguin Life, 2026), which examines how guilt—particularly for women—shapes our communication patterns, our willingness to set boundaries, and our capacity for self-compassion.15 Key Takeaways (Dr. Newman had so many life-changing recommendations, we wanted to make sure you could read about them even if you didn't have time to listen!)1. The Three Pillars of CBTDr. Newman describes CBT as resting on three foundational principles: * A supportive therapeutic alliance* A deep understanding of the patient's lived experience (including cultural and sociological factors)* The development of practical coping skills. These skills promote agency and problem-solving rather than hopelessness and helplessness.CBT Connection: The cognitive behavioral model emphasizes that thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are interconnected. By shifting how we think and what we do, we can change how we feel (Beck, 1979).2. Communication Is Both Internal and ExternalWe tend to think of communication as what we say to others, but Dr. Newman emphasizes that internal dialogue matters just as much. CBT helps people talk to themselves more compassionately, constructively, and hopefully. That same skill then translates outward into better interpersonal communication.He also distinguishes between expressive communication (how we speak) and receptive communication (how we listen), both of which are essential to healthy relationships.Guilt Free Connection: In Guilt Free, Dr. Reid explores how harsh internal dialogue, especially the relentless voice of “I should be doing more,” fuels excessive guilt. Learning to communicate with yourself compassionately is the first step toward breaking free from unreasonable expectations.3. Start with IntentEvery meaningful conversation benefits from a clear, positive intent: to boost morale, to connect, to offer something useful, to communicate understanding. Dr. Newman suggests that even outside of therapy, we can adopt the mindset that our goal in any interaction is to leave the other person, and the relationship, in a better state than when we started.CBT Connection: Intentional communication is a behavioral intervention. By deliberately choosing our communicative goals before speaking, we interrupt automatic patterns that often lead to conflict (Beck, 1995).4. Validity + Utility: The Two-Part Test for What We SayDr. Newman introduces a powerful filter: before speaking, ask whether your comment has both validity (is it truthful?) and utility (is it useful?). Truth alone can be harsh. He pushes back on the idea of “brutal honesty.”Guilt Free Connection: The validity-utility framework directly parallels the guilt equation in Guilt Free, where guilt = our expectations (whether fair or not) minus our perceived reality. Often, guilt-driven communication passes the validity test but fails the utility test. For example, we may say things out of obligation that don't help ourselves or others.5. Intent vs. Impact: Naming the MismatchSometimes people don't mean to cause harm, but their words land that way. Dr. Newman recommends naming the gap directly: “I don't think you're trying to put me down, but the message you're sending sounds like a put-down.” This approach acknowledges the other person's good faith while still making room for your experience.CBT Connection: Distinguishing between intent and impact is central to cognitive restructuring. Cognitive distortions like mind-reading and personalization often cause us to assume malicious intent where there is none (Burns, 1980).6. Seek to Understand Before Problem-SolvingWhen someone is in distress, the instinct is often to jump straight to fixing. Dr. Newman advises leading with empathy instead: “If I were thinking the way you're describing, I'd be a nervous wreck too.” Validate first, then gently offer alternative perspectives. Problem-solving is more effective once the person feels heard.Guilt Free Connection: Dr. Reid describes a pattern she sees frequently, which is people, especially women, catastrophizing about situations and layering guilt on top. The compassionate validation Dr. Newman describes is exactly the antidote: honor the feeling, question the expectation.7. Turn Complaints into RequestsAlmost any complaint can be reframed as a request, and requests are far easier to hear. Instead of “You never reply to my voicemail messages,” try: “I'd really appreciate hearing from you, even briefly. It's hard for me when I don't hear from you.”CBT Connection: This reframing technique is a classic behavioral strategy in CBT. Converting complaints into constructive requests shifts the dynamic from blame to collaboration (Gottman & Silver, 1999).Guilt Free Connection: Dr. Reid explores how maladaptive guilt can be manipulative, such as when guilt-tripping replaces genuine requests, and relationships can suffer. Assertive communication (making requests without guilting) is key to breaking that cycle.8. Silence Fills Vacuums with AssumptionsWhen we avoid communication to spare someone's feelings—say, not RSVPing to avoid disappointing a friend—we leave a vacuum that the other person fills with their own assumptions, which are usually worse than reality. Dr. Newman advises speaking the reality, even when it's uncomfortable, because silence invites personalization and catastrophizing.Guilt Free Connection: In Guilt Free, Dr. Reid identifies avoidance as a common guilt-driven behavior: we don't say no because we don't want to disappoint, but the silence itself creates a bigger problem. Communicating honestly, even imperfectly, is almost always better than disappearing.9. Beware All-or-Nothing Thinking in CommunicationDr. Newman applies one of CBT's most foundational concepts, challenging black-and-white thinking, to our communication habits. You don't have to choose between long silences and a 90-minute heart-to-heart. A quick text saying “Thinking of you” is a powerful middle ground. He calls these “random acts of kindness through text,” which are small gestures that send a meta-message of care.CBT Connection: All-or-nothing thinking is one of the most common cognitive distortions identified in CBT. Recognizing and challenging it opens up a range of behavioral options we might not have considered (Beck, 1976).10. Match the Medium to the MessageText messaging is ideal for quick logistics and small kindnesses, but it strips away tone of voice and body language. Dr. Newman shares a vivid example of a patient whose text “I don't care” (meaning “I don't mind”) sparked a major argument with his girlfriend. For emotional or complicated conversations, choose a medium with more cues, such as phone, video, or in person.His rule of thumb: The more emotional and the more complicated the topic, the more cues are needed.11. The Gottman 20-Minute RuleDrawing on research by John and Julie Gottman, Dr. Newman describes how physiological arousal (elevated heart rate, fight-or-flight activation) makes productive conversation impossible. The Gottmans recommend taking a break during heated arguments and not resuming until at least 20 minutes after your heart rate returns to baseline.Dr. Newman applies this to everyday life: if you receive a message that makes you angry, wait until you've calmed down before responding. Otherwise, frustration will leak through even your most careful words.CBT Connection: Self-monitoring of physiological arousal is a core CBT skill. The Gottman research demonstrates that behavioral interventions (taking a break) must precede cognitive interventions (discussing the issue) when the body is in a threat state.12. Resolve to Resolve—Not to WinDr. Newman highlights one of the most destructive communication patterns: trying to win an argument rather than resolve it. He references the devastating scene in the film Marriage Story where two characters escalate insults in an attempt to out-hurt each other. When the goal shifts from understanding to victory, everyone loses.CBT Connection: The belief “I must convince the other person I'm right” is a cognitive distortion that fuels conflict. CBT teaches that making your point respectfully is already a success. Change in the other person may come later, or not at all, and that's okay (Newman, 2014).13. Never Go to Bed Angry? Not So Fast.Both Dr. Reid and Dr. Newman agree that while the spirit of this advice is sound (don't harbor resentment) the literal application can be harmful. Insisting on resolving a conflict when one partner is exhausted is destructive. The person who needs to sleep should be honored. The meta-message is: don't stonewall, but do respect each other's limits. Use a placeholder: “I want to talk this through, but right now I can't yet.”Guilt Free Connection: This scenario is a guilt trap in action. The pressure to resolve everything immediately often comes from guilt (“A good partner wouldn't go to bed angry”). Dr. Reid's framework encourages questioning whether that expectation is fair and giving yourself permission to rest.14. Setting Boundaries Without GuiltWhen repeated attempts at respectful communication are met with resistance, such as the same pressure, the same guilt trips, it's appropriate to set a firm boundary. Dr. Newman advises doing so with care: “I'd like to talk to you, but not under these conditions. When you can show some respect for what I've said, let me know.” You can walk away from that interaction knowing you handled it with integrity.Guilt Free Connection: Dr. Reid identifies “hyper-accountability,”the belief that we can and should control other people's emotional experience, as a major driver of excessive guilt, especially for women. Letting go of the need to make everyone feel okay is essential to healthy boundary-setting.15. Say the Positive Things Out LoudDr. Newman closes with a deceptively simple but powerful reminder: don't keep positive thoughts to yourself. If you have a compliment, give it. If you feel affection, express it. And one of his favorite tips: talk positively about people behind their back. It often gets back to them and can shift the entire tone of your relationships.CBT Connection: Behavioral activation, which involves increasing positive interactions and reinforcement, is a foundational CBT technique for improving mood and strengthening relationships (Lewinsohn, 1974).Thanks for reading A Mind of Her Own!

Description:Many of us were taught that desire is dangerous—something to manage, suppress, or feel ashamed of. But what if desire isn't the problem at all? What if it's not just about sex or attraction, but about the places we feel most alive? Today, Jen and Amy sit down with FTL fan-favorite Jay Stringer, a licensed therapist and author whose work helps people understand the deeper stories shaping their desires—especially the ones we've been taught to hide, or silence. Drawing from his powerful new book Desire, Jay reframes desire not as a moral failure or impulse to eliminate, but as a signal worth listening to—one that points us toward what formed us, what wounded us, and what we are still longing for beneath the surface. Jay shifts the focus from behavior modification to understanding the story behind desire—for intimacy, success, escape, creativity, or belonging—shaped by early attachment, trauma, and unmet needs. The conversation moves from "What's wrong with me?" to "What happened to me?" turning desire from shame into meaning. This is not a conversation about labeling or fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself—how your story formed you, and how listening to what brings you to life can lead toward freedom, wholeness, and deeper connection.  This episode also serves as the opening doorway into our Wilderness & Wonder series. In a season when many of us are navigating uncertainty—spiritually, relationally, or internally—this episode grounds us in the idea that exploration isn't aimlessness, but formation. That the wilderness can be a teacher. And that desire itself may be one of the quiet guides helping us stay awake, curious, and present as we learn how to live inside the questions. This is a gentle conversation, but it's also a brave one. And we're really glad you're here for it. Thought-provoking Quotes: “Desire is a navigational term from Latin that means ‘lack of a star'. I'm looking into the skies, trying to find this new direction. How do I get home in the midst of all this wandering, all this misery that I feel like I'm in?” – Jay Stringer “When did you last feel alive? When did you feel connected to your body, connected to others? That's the essence of desire that we're trying to get back to.” – Jay Stringer “The antidote to shame is really developing some curiosity for it.” – Jay Stringer Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Harper's Magazine | Who Goes Nazi? by Dorothy Thompson - https://harpers.org/archive/1941/08/who-goes-nazi/ Desire: The Longings Inside Us and the New Science of How We Love, Heal, and Grow by Jay Stringer - https://amzn.to/4buLADD Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing by Jay Stringer - https://www.amazon.com/Unwanted-Sexual-Brokenness-Reveals-Healing/dp/1631466720 Annie Dillard - https://www.anniedillard.com/ Brené Brown - https://brenebrown.com/ Alex Honnold climbs Taipei 101 skyscraper without ropes - https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/video/alex-honnold-climbs-taipei-101-skyscraper-ropes-129537771 Bill Plotkin - https://www.animas.org/about-us/our-founder/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/3LTorjM Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse by Matthew Arnold - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43605/stanzas-from-the-grande-chartreuse Jon Batiste - jonbatiste.com Sarah Bessey - https://www.sarahbessey.com/ Dacher Keltner, PhD - https://www.dacherkeltner.com/ Guest's Links: Website - https://jay-stringer.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jay_stringer_/ Twitter - https://x.com/_jaystringer Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JayStringerUnwanted# Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

For more information reach out to Hailey at moonbeamingpodcast@gmail.com  --- What happens when intuition leads you all the way to the edge of science? In this episode, Sarah closes out the Intuition Series with a powerful conversation that lives at the intersection of neuroscience and the unexplainable. She sits down with cognitive neuroscientist and author Mona Sobhani, PhD, to explore what unfolds when a traditionally trained skeptic begins to question the very foundations of a materialist worldview. After a series of personal experiences she couldn't easily dismiss — coffee ground readings that came true, psychic encounters, and precognitive dreams — Mona did what scientists are trained to do: she investigated. What began as curiosity turned into years of research into psychic phenomena, reincarnation studies, quantum physics, altered states of consciousness, and competing models of reality. Together, Sarah and Mona explore the possibility that science and spirituality were never meant to be separate — and that the “unexplainable” may simply be what we haven't yet learned how to measure. In this episode, you'll hear: Mona's journey from skeptical neuroscientist to open-minded investigator of spiritual phenomena The existential turning points that cracked open deeper questions about fate, free will, and meaning Scientific research on psychic phenomena Quantum physics, non-locality, and the observer effect How time, space, and determinism may not work the way we think Altered states, meditation, sound, light, and brainwave entrainment Precognitive dreams and intuitive information arising in non-ordinary states Competing models of reality: materialism, panpsychism, idealism, dualism The “trickster” element of consciousness and the limits of measurement What it would take for science and spirituality to truly collaborate Meet Mona Mona Sobhani, Ph.D., is a cognitive neuroscientist, author, and entrepreneur. A former research scientist at the University of Southern California, she holds a doctorate in neuroscience from the University of Southern California and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Vanderbilt University with the MacArthur Foundation Law and Neuroscience Project. She is the author of the Ommie 2022 Best Spiritual Book Proof of Spiritual Phenomena: A Neuroscientist's Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe (Park City Press). In the Cosmos, Coffee, & Science Substack, she writes about science & spirituality, the psychedelic renaissance, altered states of consciousness, and the transpersonal. She is co-founder of Exploring Consciousness, a community of curious scientists who are seeking to understand consciousness, spirituality, and the nature of our reality. She also served as a scholar for the Saks Institute for Mental Health Law, Policy, and Ethics. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, VOX, and other media outlets.

If you've ever felt torn between skepticism and spirituality, between logic and intuition, you're not alone. Many of us were taught that to be intelligent means to dismiss the mystical. So when something unexplainable happens, it can feel disorienting — even destabilizing. In this episode of Moon Beaming, I sit down with cognitive neuroscientist and author Mona Sobhani, PhD, to explore what unfolds when a rigorously trained skeptic begins questioning the very assumptions she was taught to defend. After personal experiences she couldn't ignore — psychic readings that proved accurate, existential crisis, and precognitive dreams — Mona followed her curiosity into research on consciousness, quantum physics, and spiritual phenomena. This conversation offers clarity not by choosing sides, but by widening the lens. If you're drawn to conversations at the edge of science and mysticism, make sure you're subscribed to the Moonbeaming newsletter for deeper reflections, tools, and upcoming events. In this episode, we explore: Mona's journey from skeptic to investigator of spiritual phenomena Scientific research on psychic experiences Quantum physics, non-locality, and the observer effect The brain as receiver vs. creator of consciousness Altered states and mystical experience Competing models of reality — materialism, panpsychism, and beyond Reality may be far stranger — and far more alive — than we've been taught to believe.  

Éamon de Valera is one of the most influential figures in modern Irish history. Born in New York in 1880s and raised in rural Limerick, he rose from obscurity to become a central figure in the Irish Revolution. He played a major role in the 1916 Rising, became the most internationally recognised Irish figure during the War of Independence, and was central to the Treaty split that led to the Civil War. Although defeated in that conflict he returned to politics as a founder of Fianna Fáil and, in 1932, began the long era in which he dominated Irish public life.Today he is often remembered as the architect of a conservative, Catholic and insular Ireland. This podcast featuring, David McCullagh, looks at de Valera's early years and rise to power and seeks to answer if he was the architect of a conservative state, or simply a reflection of the Irish society that shaped him?My guest is David McCullagh. David is a broadcaster with RTÉ, has a PhD in politics and is the author of six books, including a biography of John A. Costello, The Reluctant Taoiseach, a two-volume biography of Éamon de Valera, Rise and Rule, and most recently From Crown to Harp: How the Anglo-Irish Treaty Was Undone.
