How can we find hope in such trying times? In Part 2 of this interview with scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., she shares her first meeting with American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead, one of her early and most impactful mentors. Margaret considered Jean her "adopted daughter" and encouraged her to keep searching, keep understanding, keep putting pieces together to make some sense of it all. Mead was one of the early founders of Earth Day and taught Jean to keep reaching for solutions. Thorough this experience, Jean learned to produce extensive writing about the "new story of humanity" – she wrote books every month about history, culture, and possibilities. Jean talks today about how we can progress through community and cooperation and use our creativity to the fullest, by recognizing the good in one another. We can activate our innate genes as beings seeking constant growth and evolve to become higher humans as we visualize the possibilities and create the world we want. This is entelechy – it pushes us toward what humanity could be. Through her mentors and studies, Jean learned to observe and hone her particular awareness in a unique way of seeing people and raising them to their greatness. She worked for the UN and with many cultures throughout the world as well as working with Presidents including President Bill Clinton and President Jimmy Carter. Today we are asked to consider, "What does a world that works look like?" New science, quantum physics, and relational science teach that there is unity and oneness. We can experience the evolution of the human race, activate the genes of the higher human, and witness the possible human. Jean paints an image of what our possible world could look like, by seeing the possibility in other people. Jean believes we are in a renaissance period now and although we've experienced the pandemic, wars, shootings, and scenes of outrage, we've also seen the linking of hearts, which is indeed the gestation period of a New Humanity. People want peace worldwide. We can do this by accessing the very depths of the human spirit which is available to all of us by seeing the very best in one another. This is the second of a two-part discussion. Info: https://www.jeanhouston.com/

In this episode of Hope and Possibilities, I share a personal reflection on what's unfolding in the United States—and why it feels both shocking and familiar to me. I spent nearly 18 years in global financial services, 16 of them working closely with American clients, many based in Minnesota. That experience gave me an inside view of how U.S. systems shape people's daily lives—and where those systems quietly fail. Long before today's headlines, I began making deliberate choices to reduce American exposure in my work and center my career in Canada and other global contexts where values aligned more closely with mine. This episode isn't about blame. It's about perspective. I speak with deep respect for Americans—their decency, humor, and care—and with clarity about a hard truth: lasting change can only come from within. External voices have limits. Ownership matters. Drawing on professional experience, historical training, and family history shaped by wartime Europe, I reflect on why nostalgia is such a powerful force, why democratic pressure often looks uncomfortable, and why other countries are quietly recalibrating their relationship with the U.S. This is a reflection, not a prescription—an invitation to think more honestly about responsibility, leadership, and what it takes to shape what comes next. Timestamps 00:00 – Why this moment feels personal Why I chose to talk about this now 02:05 – My American work life Nearly 18 years in financial services, 16 with U.S. clients—many in Minnesota 05:15 – Working across values gaps What you learn when you avoid "safe" topics like healthcare, labor law, and maternity leave 09:10 – 2016 as a turning point Healthcare rollbacks, medical hardship calls, and knowing when work becomes untenable 13:30 – History as an early warning system How family history and studying history shaped my perspective 17:00 – A deliberate shift Why I chose, ten years ago, to reduce American exposure in my career 21:15 – Canadians opting out quietly Travel, consumption, culture, and economic consequences 24:50 – Why change must come from Americans The limits of external critique and the necessity of internal advocacy 29:00 – Protest, boycott, and democracy Why discomfort is often the price of democratic pressure 33:20 – Respect without nostalgia Holding affection for Americans while refusing to romanticize systems 37:10 – The long arc of change Why the Canada–U.S. relationship has been shifting for longer than most realize 40:45 – Closing reflection What the future depends on—and who must shape it

The daily news is filled with stories of division, wars, mass shootings, rights getting overturned, political chaos, and so much continuous devastation. What can we do collectively to ease the pain? Our guest today, scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., delves into the idea of finding possibility, even during these times of great grief. We have been conditioned to respond to the terrible, but it does not have to be this way. As an icon in the Human Potential movement, Jean shares ideas about how the Renaissance, with its advancements in music, art, poetry, and cosmology, came after great plagues and times of war, much like the world's situation today. Could we be in a new Renaissance period now? We are once again in a similar time of radical growth, and we have the power within us to see new possibilities and reach mythical potential in our human evolution. Jean shares stories of her travels and talks about her friendship with scholar Joseph Campbell and how they would have "beautiful fights" which were friendly arguments and deep discussions about mythology and the fate of humanity. Campbell wrote extensively about the "Hero's Journey," while Jean considered the "Heroine's Journey." Part of the problem is that 50% of the human race is not being recognized for women's immense creativity and power. Women's ways are missing. With an emphasis on compassion, cooperation, community, and process rather than product and competition, humane creativity must be celebrated by acknowledging the achievements of women. She also talks about her fateful meeting of evolutionary philosopher and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who became one of her mentors when she was much younger. At an early age, they would have profound discussions of time, history, and transformation, as she gained an alternate education of possibilities through their talks.

What if nature therapy is actually a return to our most essential human blueprint?

In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Katie Asmus, a somatic and nature-based psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience leading individuals back to themselves through the natural world.

On this episode of The Big Red Bus, See Red Fred and Doug dig into three timely Bulls topics that sit right at the heart of the team's present and future.Segment 1: Coby White Trade Rumors (5:00)We open the show by unpacking the latest buzz around potential trade scenarios involving Coby White. What's real, what's noise, and what would moving Coby say about where the Bulls think they are right now? We look at value, fit, timing, and whether these rumors reflect opportunistic listening or a more fundamental shift in direction.Segment 2: Matas Buzelis Development Check-In (24:27)The middle segment focuses on Matas Buzelis and his early development. While the upside and flashes are obvious, we zero in on his defensive struggles—positioning, awareness, and physicality—and talk through what's normal for a young player adjusting to NBA speed versus what needs to improve quickly for him to earn consistent trust and minutes.Segment 3: Vooch and the WarriorsWe close by discussing the rumors around Vooch and the Warriors. Is this about asset management, clearing developmental runway, or trying to recalibrate the roster without fully blowing it up? We debate the Bulls' options—and the risks tied to each path.A classic Big Red Bus episode: rumors, development, and plenty of Bulls reality checks along the way.

Are outside forces squashing what you know? Being the leader of your own life is imperative to creating a different future here on the planet. In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Megan Hill about being the leader of your own life and future, and how empowering people to know that they have choice will change the world. What if there is nothing that you cannot create? What kind of life would you like to create? What kind of future would you like to be a part of? Be strong with who you are and what you know, and never give up on the world you desire. Be magic, miracles and chaos! Gary Douglas Quote Look for Allowance of you, as YOU and NO point of view. When you have no point of view, you can BE anything. When you can be anything, you can DO anything. When you can do anything, you can HAVE anything. When you can have anything, you can CREATE anything. When you can create anything you can create a different world. ~ Gary Douglas Questions And Tools: "What else is possible? What else can I choose?" "What would actually really work for me?" "What can I be with this?" "Who can I reach out to?" "Where can I contribute energy that will create the greatest change?" "What allowance can I be with this?" "What possibilities are available that we have not yet explored?" "What is the lie, spoken or unspoken?"

Paul McCarthy walks through Halliburton's (HAL) earnings. He highlights “good” numbers overseas and their struggle in the U.S. market. Guidance was a “big negative” as they lowered revenue expectations. Possible involvement in Venezuela is a story for 2027 and beyond, he adds. “The company is stable to sideways,” he says, with the bright spots coming from international markets. He sees the stock as overbought and thinks we could be seeing a “last push higher” before consolidation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

May the vulnerable be guarded with love. May the powerful awaken to wisdom. May the earth and its being be cherished. May peace take root in every direction. ~Jack Kornfield Praying It doesn't have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; just pay attention, then patch a few words together and don't try to make them elaborate, this isn't a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak. Thank you ~ Mary Oliver Instructions for Having a Soul Take it out in the rain sometimes. It has vast, invisible wings that gather dirt and need rinsing. When it tries to kill you that is because you've forgotten to let it look into someone's eyes for longer than a minute. It needs that the way a bee needs nectar in the early morning dew. Every so often, take it on a journey. Let it read long, hard books and let it stare into the depths of the sea. Yes, you can give it chips and whiskey but from time to time let it kneel in a place that is holy like the simple cathedral of the willows. All it wants is to live, to keep becoming. Nourish it, and it puts down roots, it opens. But starve it, and the mind, the flesh is empty; the world breaks down; symphonies go unwritten; the rockets fall; the children die in flames. Listen. It is not too late to wake it. Say the names of the wild, the forgotten things: bluebird, red wolf, robin; violet, child, clover. You cannot save the world but you can open the window for the trapped wren in the cellar. Read a book to a blind man, to your father. Tell a child you do believe her anger. Make your life the first life that you save. —Joseph Fasano

In this episode, Candice sits down with Sue Willoughby, founder of Willoughby Coaching. Sue helps women over 40 confront obstacles and change the trajectory of their lives through Equus Coaching, a powerful approach that uses horses to build self-awareness, leadership skills, and emotional connection. Horses played a major role in Sue's own healing journey, and she now guides others through transformation with the same heart-centered approach. In this episode, they discuss:How horses sense emotional truth through nonverbal communicationWhy presence and self-awareness are essential for growthLetting go of rigid identity roles in midlifeThe power of curiosity and trying new experiencesHow being a beginner builds confidenceCreating transformation through connection and embodiment When women lead from within and reconnect with their authentic selves, new possibilities open and transformation becomes a way of life! About Sue:Sue Willoughby is the Founder of Willoughby Coaching, where women over 40 confront their personal obstacles and change the trajectory of their lives with the power of Equus Coaching. Equus coaching helps you discover the profound impact of non-verbal communication and self-awareness as you engage with horses, gaining insights into your leadership, communication style, and personal growth.Raised by a single alcoholic parent, Sue struggled with low self-esteem and learned from an early age to be self-sufficient and embrace discomfort. She came out at the age of 17 and struggled to find her place in the gay community, attempted suicide at 19, and was on a path of living hard and playing harder.Her life dramatically improved when she met a new partner in the early 90s and moved across the country with her. After this move, Sue returned to school, started a new career, and became a homeowner and real estate investor.Sue found coaching through her lifelong love of horses. They were always there to support her through some of the darkest and most difficult times of her life and she now finds fulfillment in being the coach she wished she had in those challenging times of her life.Sue regularly practices what she preaches by getting out of her comfort zone; she's been a Nightclub DJ, a standup comic, an actor, a private pilot, and a Roller Derby referee, just to name a few! Sue resides outside the Seattle area with a horse named Moose, 2 mini-longhaired Dachshunds, Benny and Buddy, and a VW Bus called Arlo.

What does abracadabra mean? You've heard magicians in tuxedos say it, as well as children with magic wands. Maybe even in a Disney movie! It feels magical even if you've never stopped to ask why. It's playful, mysterious, and seems to appear at the exact moment something changes. Today, I'm not talking about stage tricks or fairy tales. This is an invitation to reclaim the magic in words. Abracadabra was meant to heal and to shift energy, and offers a powerful doorway back to something ancient and surprisingly scientific. If you've ever felt stuck in the same mental loop, repeating the same old stories about yourself no matter how much inner work you've done, this is for you. The Magical Power of Your Words The words you speak shape your brain, your nervous system, and the life you quietly create every day. This is actually ancient and ties to the secret history of abracadabra. If you could travel back to the Roman Empire in the second century and told someone you were sick, they might prescribe something unexpected: Abracadabra – a word-based or spoken medicine. That’s when the earliest written record of abracadabra appears in a Roman medical text called Liber Medicinalis, written by a physician named Quintus Serenus Sammonicus. His instructions were precise. Write the word ABRACADABRA on parchment or metal. Then write it again below, removing the last letter. Continue line by line until only the letter “A” remains. The finished inverted triangle would be worn on a string around the neck, and was suggested for someone suffering from a fever. As the word diminished, letter by letter, the illness was believed to fade out too. Images of reconstructed abracadabra amulets still exist today and are physical evidence that words were once understood as active forces, rather than passive communication. What Does Abracadabra Mean? There isn't one agreed upon translation, which is common with magical words. Many scholars trace it to Aramaic, a language closely related to ancient Hebrew, with meanings along the lines of “I create as I speak” or “it will be created in my words.” Others interpret the word as “let the thing be destroyed,” which fits the idea of illness shrinking away. There are also connections to Hebrew blessing traditions and to a Gnostic figure named Abraxas. You don't need a perfect translation to grasp the shared belief underneath the theories. Saying something with intention, was believed to create change. Words shaped reality. A Form of Protection Between the third and seventh centuries, abracadabra also became a form of protection against misfortune and unseen forces. It was spoken, worn, and traced as a spiritual shield. Breath and sound were the tools. So when a magician says “abracadabra” before a big reveal, they're unknowingly echoing an ancient understanding. The moment you speak is the moment something shifts. Words are spells, in the past and still today. Ancient cultures all over the world shared this concept. Mesopotamian incantations were used to drive out illness. Egyptian healers combined herbs with spoken formulas. Biblical traditions delivered blessings and curses through speech. To the ancient mind, words were a force. Name something and you gained power over it. Speak a blessing and you invited it closer. Today witches may talk of spells but the vast majority of the population doesn’t go there. However, it does show up and is acceptable when discussing neuroscience, psychology, and neural pathways. The actual mechanism is quite similar. See, the stories you repeat to yourself like, “I always mess things up,” “nothing ever works out,” or “I'm too old,” act like incantations. The charm is created through your own voice, and the impact is on your nervous system. Unfortunately, this type of mantra spoken unconsciously and without intentional crafting, can backfire, and could even prevent growth or improvement. After more than twenty years working with intuition and mindset, I've seen this pattern again and again. Change often doesn't happen until awareness and usage of the language changes. The Neuroscience of Self-Talk Modern psychology has studied self-talk extensively. Self-talk includes the running commentary in your head and the sentences you speak about yourself and your life. Supportive, positive self-talk is consistently linked to lower anxiety, better coping skills, and greater resilience. Harsh, critical self-talk is linked to higher stress, increased worry, and decreased performance. On a brain level, negative language activates threat centers like the amygdala, while balanced, compassionate self-talk engages the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for regulation and problem-solving. A fascinating 2024 study from the NIH explored what happens when people hear affirming statements spoken in their own voice. Turns out hearing your own voice activates brain regions tied to identity and personal meaning more strongly than listening to someone else's voice. This helps explain why a single kind sentence you say to yourself can calm your body, while a harsh one can feel crushing. When you speak to yourself, your brain treats it as deeply personal. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change with experience. Every thought or phrase you repeat creates a pathway. Repeat it often enough and that pathway becomes easier to access. Negative Inner Dialogue If your inner dialogue constantly says, “I'm stuck” or “nothing changes,” you're reinforcing that route. When you begin practicing language like, “I'm learning” or “I'm allowed to begin again,” you start forging new trails. At first this might feel uncomfortable, but over time, the brain learns to favor them. In other words, the magic words you repeat most often becomes your reality. That's everyday abracadabra isn't it? Language affects your inner world and shapes how you perceive and interact with others. The brain loves consistency. It filters information to match the story you tell yourself or others. That's how a belief becomes self-fulfilling, not because the universe is against you, but because your nervous system wants coherence. I'm not suggesting any kind of by passing, ignoring reality, or your feelings. However, you can acknowledge reality and still choose language that leaves room for growth. Examples include: “This is hard and I'm learning how to handle it.” “This hurts and I'm allowed to receive support.” “This didn't go how I wanted and I'm still worthy of good things.” A Powerful Use of Words These thoughts or phrasses are still like “abracadabra” because they are a powerful use of words. Ancient healers didn't deny pain or discomfort. They combined practical care with ritual and language and you can do the same. Abracadabra, in its most empowering interpretation, means “I create as I speak.” Every time you describe who you are or want to become, your brain responds and so does the Universe. Possibilities open or close based on the language you choose. Listen to the podcast for the visualization I created to leverage Abracadabra and this idea of diminishing letter by letter to change a situation which updates your inner operating system. As you move through your day, notice how you talk about yourself. You don't need to monitor every word. Just become curious about the ones that feel heavy or limiting. Then, gently replace them with language that aligns with the life you want to create. This is modern magic, neuroplasticity, and a daily practice, all in one exercise . Abracadabra and there you go!

As the founder of Shelton Housing First, he's personally launched over 14 recovery homes in the last two years—with eight more on the way—and he's committed to helping others follow that same path with his book, Group Home Accelerator.With a background in business and boots-on-the-ground experience in building both for-profit and nonprofit housing models, Jim blends strategy with heart. His step-by-step guide equips aspiring group home operators with the tools, mindset, and structure needed to create real impact—especially for those in recovery, reentry, or transition.Jim also leads a high-touch coaching program designed to help purpose-driven entrepreneurs open, fund, and fill their own sober living or transitional homes. Through his work, he's helped hundreds break through fear, red tape, and financial barriers to launch homes that change lives.Faith and family are at the center of Jim's mission. When he's not building businesses or helping others do the same, he's spending time with his wife, their kids, and their loyal pup, O'Malley. He's known for saying, “This isn't just real estate—it's a calling,” and Group Home Accelerator is his roadmap for anyone bold enough to answer it.GHA: https://grouphomeaccelerator.com/SHF: https://sheltonhousingfirst.com/Calendy: https://calendly.com/jimboad/ghaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/16x6EKmA8U/?mibextid=wwXIfrInsta: https://www.instagram.com/ghaccelerator/Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-boad-aba962b5/My Book: Group Home Acceleratorhttps://a.co/d/aElyB5E -----If you're struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor, BetterHelp.Visit https://betterhelp.com/candicesnyder for a 10% discount on your first month of therapy.*This is a paid promotionIf you are in the United States and in crisis, or any other person may be in danger -Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Dial 988-----Connect with Candice Snyder!Website: https://www.podpage.com/passion-purpose-and-possibilities-1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/candicebsnyder?_rdrPassion, Purpose, and Possibilities Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/passionpurposeandpossibilitiescommunity/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionpurposepossibilities/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicesnyder/Shop For A Cause With Gifts That Give Back to Nonprofits: https://thekindnesscause.com/Fall In Love With Artists And Experience Joy And Calm: https://www.youtube.com/@movenartrelaxationClick this link to receive your FREE TRIAL to The Greenhouse Communityhttps://www.thegreenhousecommunity.com/checkout/the-greenhouse-membership?affiliate_code=11e889
