A man found dead on an Adelaide beach in 1948—his identity unknown, his past a riddle, and his pocket containing a cryptic phrase: "Tamam Shud"—meaning "it is finished." But what if it wasn’t finished? In this episode, hear from Professor Derek Abbott, a man who has spent decades unraveling this enigma. And now, he claims to have the answer. Using DNA technology, Derek has identified the Somerton Man. But does this revelation truly close the case? Or does it open even deeper questions about who The Somerton Man was, how he died, and the strange, almost spy-like clues surrounding his final days? Keep up with Kathy here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to this episode, where we dive into engaging lesson ideas for March! This month offers a wealth of opportunities to create meaningful learning experiences for your students. From celebrating Women's History Month and Poetry Month to exploring the arrival of spring, we've got you covered with creative ideas and actionable lesson plans. Episode Highlights:

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Sophie French. Sophie supports women to unlock and unleash their unique expression and gifts into the world, to tap into their heart's desires and to go for them with deep self-trust and self-belief. She utilities a combination of neuro-linguistic programming, emotional release and embodiment practices along with energy and strategy work to provide a holistic approach to the woman who is ready to be all she's ever wanted. In this vibrant episode Nicole and Sophie dive into all things ‘unapologetic feminine soul expression', exploring how self-illuminating where we have suppressed ourselves (rather than submitting to pathologising things like ‘depression') helps us heal and discover our true selves and embrace our creative soul expression - and how that can be a healing remedy for others, in ways we don't always expect. Performing her poetry for us and exploring how she rebirthed herself through it, Sophie explores how her self-expression and story-telling became a form of alchemy of darkness to light, and how she tended her nervous system to be able to express her true self in a world where that's scary. What You'll Learn from this Episode: It is vital to our mental and physical health to live out our full, unapologetic expression - numbing and suppressing our true selves literally has us become burned out, depressed and anxious We can begin to heal through unsuppressing ourselves, via self-discovery - which includes facing our darkness, feeling everything fully and challenging the societal tendency to numb and avoid discomfort Expressing our emotions can be an alchemical process which unlocks deeper creativity and joy - Sophie's poetry is a great example of this deep expression of her soul, and came through her in this alchemical way - as I always say, our gifts are found in our wounds That said, we can consciously choose the edge we meet, giving ourselves permission to go at our own pace and choose when we go in - this is an intentional healing process of soul-expression It's important to regulate our nervous systems - much more important than it is made out to be in our society so we can express safely. We must create space for the slowness of this process Healing can be found in anything that has us back in touch with feeling ‘alive' - not just traditional ‘remedies' but through music, and dance, or anything that has us feel alive and connected.     Resources and things that we spoke about:   Sophie's Links: Sophie's Revival Clarity Sessions: www.sophiefrench.co/mentoring Sophie's Heroine's Journey: https://www.sophiefrench.co/journey Sophie's Poetry Book: https://amzn.eu/d/dAnsPAK Sophie's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sophiefrench.co/ Social: Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@archetypalapothecary Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iamnicolebarton/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iamnicolebarton/ You Tube - https://www.youtube.com/@secretwitchsociety Join our Secret Witch Society: www.facebook.com/groups/secretwitch  Sign-up to receive our Luna News: www.nicolebarton.co.uk/subscribe Website: http://www.nicolebarton.co.uk   Thank you for listening, we'd love to know what comes alive for you in this week's episode, so please let us know.

From Amy: I have been a fan of Linda's gorgeous imagery ever since I met her in an online writing forum. At the time, we were both publishing our books with birds on the cover. The thing about poetry is, sometimes, especially at a moment like now—one week out from pivotal presidential elections in the United States—where the rhetoric has gotten QUITE LOUD, and it's already been a LOUD nearly-decade, our nervous systems need a break. We need soothing words that speak to our humanity. And so this episode is intentionally timed for right now...

In this episode, we chat to Andrew McMillan about his novel, Pity. We discuss intersections of masculinity, sexuality and class and the way the body might hold these ideas within fiction and poetry. We think about the ways in which the form of the novel can hold multiple truths and stories, and how this links to post-industrial identities. We explore the dangers of describing post-industrial towns by their lack or an absence, and consider what it would take to find new definitions of community. We chat about the need for more northern stories, and the idea that everyone's village, town or city is worthy of literature. We think about finding a new language to discuss the past, which honours its legacies and yet allows us to define ourselves on new terms, in order to move forwards. Andrew McMillan's debut collection physical was the only ever poetry collection to win The Guardian First Book Award. The collection also won the Fenton Aldeburgh First Collection Prize, a Somerset Maugham Award (2016), an Eric Gregory Award (2016) and a Northern Writers' award (2014). It was shortlisted the Dylan Thomas Prize, the Costa Poetry Award, The Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year 2016, the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, the Roehampton Poetry Prize and the Polari First Book Prize. It was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation for Autumn 2015. In 2019 it was voted as one of the top 25 poetry books of the past 25 years by the Booksellers Association. His second collection, playtime, was published by Jonathan Cape in 2018; it was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation for Autumn 2018, a Poetry Book of the Month in both The Observer and The Telegraph, a Poetry Book of the Year in The Sunday Times and won the inaugural Polari Prize. His third collection, pandemonium, was published by Jonathan Cape in 2021, and 100 Queer Poems, the acclaimed anthology he edited with Mary Jean Chan, was published by Vintage in 2022.

My childhood friend and accomplished poet, Michelle Delaine Williams, joins me on Vitally You® to talk about her poetry chapbook, Good Work for Small Hands. Her book centers around her childhood in Missouri and her relationship with her mother. She shares that reflecting on those memories was profoundly cathartic, which really comes through in several of the poems she recites for us. Michelle's poem, Sprout, which she reads beautifully, transports the listener into a young person's world of feelings. Sprout invites a conversation about taking responsibility for our own lives no matter how they began. Since becoming a grandmother twice within the last 18 months, I've been thinking a lot about how we come into this world and the importance of our upbringing in shaping our future. Michelle's poems are portals to reconnecting with our younger selves and learning the ways that they wish to be present in our lives.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Michelle's inspiration behind Good Work for Small HandsMichelle's path to becoming a writerWriting rituals and journaling practices Exploring beauty alongside pain in memoryHow Michelle finds feeling younger while growing olderResources Mentioned:Learn more about LifeWaveRead Wavewalker: A Memoir of Breaking Free by Suzanne HeywoodRead The Creative Act: A way of being by Rick Rubin Past Episodes Mentioned:Vitally You Episode 25  Healing Your Inner Child to Thrive as an AdultConnect with Michelle Delaine Williams: Good Work for Small Hands is available from Finishing Line Press, Amazon, or Barnes and NobleConnect with Michelle on LinkedInGet in Touch: Become an insider and sign up for My Newsletter — scroll down to the box "Don't Miss A Thing"My WebsiteInstagramContact MeSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.
