Pastor Will Brocker's message, titled “Let God's Power Flow,” at Grace and Truth Church. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 ESV — But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

She shares with Adriana how although her first birth was long and quite challenging, she wouldn't describe it as painful. Now her second birth? That one was filled with power, permission, fluidity, and delight.Sponsor offers - TIME SENSITIVE! NEEDED - Get 20% off at ThisIsNeeded.com with code BIRTHFULSUGAR SUGAR DEODORANT - Get 20% off at postpartumdeodorant.com with code BIRTHFULJENNI KAYNE - Get 15% off at JenniKayne.com/Birthful with code BIRTHFUL15FAMILYALBUM APP - Download the app for free, wherever you get your apps! MY LIFE IN A BOOK - Get 10% off at MyLifeInABook.com with code BIRTHFULAQUATRU - Get 20% off at AquaTru.com with code BIRTHFULGet the most out of this episode by checking out the resources, transcript, and links listed on its show notes page.  If you liked this episode, listen to our episode on Real Talk About Vaginal Tears and Episiotomies and our interview on How Prenatal Yoga Can Help Protect Your Energy (And Why This Is Important!)You can connect with Maya on Instagram @SolHealth.

In this episode, Laura and Amy discuss the energy storage and microgrid landscape, with a peek behind the curtain as Amy Simpkins finally answers her own questions as CEO of muGrid Analytics and microgrid architect.Fresh from the RE+ 2023 conference, Amy and Laura explore the gap between the marketing around battery systems as solved science versus how much more research is truly necessary. Amy explains why 15 years of industry experience led to muGrid's transition from strictly energy consultants to software vendors, tackling the current chasm between actual economic results delivered and how much more is possible, as well as why the financials are vital.According to Amy, “The intelligent economic decisions are critical for any kind of battery technology and that is something that gets lost.”Quotes - all by Amy Simpkins“The entire value proposition of an energy storage system is in its control, in its decision making piece.”  "No matter which element on the periodic table you are using, you still have to intelligently command the battery to work and make intelligent decisions that will deliver financial results from your battery.” "In order to actually deploy energy storage and associated hybrid systems, they have to generate revenue."“We've made the transition from consultants who said what could be possible to a product vendor who says we can DO this. It's not just probable, it's possible, and we're doing it.”AboutAs co-founder and CEO at muGrid Analytics, Amy Simpkins solves wicked problems at the intersection of energy technology and economics using math and modeling. muGrid provides bankable techno-economic analysis, optimized control, and project development of renewable energy, energy storage, and microgrids to maximize economic return, increase energy resilience, and promote energy equity in the US and around the world. Amy is also an internationally recognized speaker on innovation and iterative development for entrepreneurs. She is the author of Spiral: A Catalyst for Innovation and Expansion and host of the Power Flow Podcast, which amplifies diverse voices in the energy revolution. Prior to muGrid, Amy designed and operated spacecraft as a Systems Engineer with Lockheed Martin. Her technical expertise includes system and software architecture, system-level performance modeling, and design tradespace analysis.

the name says it all. an old school POWER FLOW session...you'll move everything. everything. key practices include: salutations of alllllllll kinds

This is a 35-Minute Power Flow. We begin standing and proceed right into a ladder flow practice - each round of Sun Salutations progressively builds on the previous one. We revisit postures again and again, while growing our range, strength, and presence. We do not stay in postures long, and this is a true breath to movement practice. The framework of this flow consists of lunging Sun Salutations, and each time we come through, we add on power transitions, prone backbends, standing postures, and balance postures. We build up to extended hand to foot pose (utthita hasta padangusthasana) and full side plank (vashisthasana). This class winds down with twists, side body lengthening, and a tad of corework. If you are looking to move, breathe, and be challenged, this class is for you. If you don't feel like being challenged, this class is still for you because, as always, lots of modifications are offered. Enjoy!

In this episode, Amy and Ali discuss lithium mining and how it affects the clean energy future.Ali Haji is the CEO of ION Energy - a leader in the exploration and development of lithium salars within Mongolia and a strong pioneer in the third wave of the green energy revolution.Together, Ali and Amy explore the split between mobility/electric vehicles and stationary batteries, the supply and demand of minerals (including the rising cost of lithium and the importance of recycling) as well as lithium extraction technology, and lithium vs other chemistries, like vanadium oxide, in addition to how much the grid can actually support.According to Ali, “Batteries, in essence, are going to fuel the growth of everything.”*A correction: The Mercedes car mentioned got 1000 km (621 miles) on a single charge, not 1000 miles.Quotes“We need to bring more resources online to help fuel this electrification.” – Ali Haji“Ultimately with today's prices, it's clear and evident there is a massive supply chain gap that needs to be filled in order for us to carry on down this path of the clean energy revolution.” – Ali Haji“Education is paramount. People don't realize the importance of mining and what it's doing to allow us to move towards this revolution. It's an integral part of essentially everything we do, yet as far as I can remember, no one in school ever learned about mining.” – Ali Haji“Moving into a future where we can view mining through an environmental lens and an ethical lens is going to be important in the future.” – Amy Simpkins“Mining is a big part of everything that we do, whether we like it or not, but the best way to move forward is to educate people on its importance, but also ensure that we're doing it sustainably.” – Ali Haji“The fact that people are starting to think about where their energy comes from, where the equipment is coming from, where the raw materials that goes into that equipment is coming from signals a positive shift and makes me, in spite of all evidence, optimistic.” – Amy SimpkinsAbout/ConnectAli Haji is the CEO of ION Energy - a leader in the exploration and development of lithium salars within Mongolia and a strong pioneer in the third wave of the green energy revolution. Since 2019 the company has been aggressively growing its assets in its extensive growth strategy through acquiring new resources and sites.Website: https://www.ionenergy.ca/You can connect with Ion Energy on Youtube, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.If you enjoyed the conversation, please share the episode with other innovators.

On this episode's one year anniversary, we are sharing for the first time our recording from the LIVE episode with Julia Hamm on her last days as the founder of Solar Power International (now RE+) and President and CEO of SEPA. This episode was recorded at RE+ in September 2022.Quotes:“We all want to accelerate this transition as fast as possible but we cannot do it in a way that sacrifices reliability or affordability or resiliency and most certainly not equity.” – Julia Hamm“All players – no matter where they sit in the value chain – are going to have to partner in ways that they've never partnered before… there needs to be a lot more intentionality about understanding where other players are coming from and then partnering with them in order to achieve common objectives.” – Julia Hamm “Utilities are going to have to partner in an unprecedented way going forward.” – Julia Hamm“Rest is revolutionary. Rest is innovative.” – Amy SimpkinsIf you enjoyed the conversation, please share the episode with other innovators.

Maya Ehnat was brought up to be comfortable with birth, and so from the get-go, her language and approach weren't fear-based. Beyond that, much of the preparation she did during pregnancy was guided by a desire to minimize trauma and bring heaps of pleasure and joy into the experience. She shares with Adriana how although her first birth was long and quite challenging, she wouldn't describe it as painful. Now her second birth? That one was filled with power, permission, fluidity, and delight.Get the most out of this episode by checking out the resources, transcript, and links listed on its show notes page.  If you liked this episode, listen to our interview on Rethinking the Pushing Stage and our episode on Real Talk About Vaginal Tears and Episiotomies.You can connect with Maya on Instagram @SolHealth.
