Podcasts about reclamation

Jeff does a ton of research for this show, especially this segment! He lists off past QB "reclamation projects."

The guys continue their discussion from last segment talking about QB's who've beaten the odds and were able to become solid starters in the league.

Jeff puts in a lot of work for these shows, ESPECIALLY this segment about QBs that were able to rebound after a tough start to their career. They also bring on their first guest of the show in Chris Rose from Jomboy Media and the NFL Network.

In a dominant culture that consistently extracts from, and weaponises, the power of the ego, how can we begin to repair our fragmented relationship with the ego to give direction and purpose to the nurturing energy of the intuition? What can breaking out of unhealthy relationships with the ego offer for bringing about meaningful change? This month, we welcome back to the show Elaine Martini, a writer, speaker, and storyteller whose work explores what it means to live a life that is truly our own. Elaine is the bestselling author of Truly Connected: Create a Life and Work Guided by Your Inner Wisdom, Authenticity and Soul and founder of the Connected Life Path, a community exploring authenticity, intuition, inherited patterns and the deeper layers that shape how we live. This episode is a continuation of our previous conversation with Elaine on finding intuition in a head-centric world, this time focusing on how to work with our intuition and ego to deepen our sense of self and purpose.

Many of us have done all the right faith things (the reading, the church attendance, the devotionals, the routine) and still felt flat. Others have felt something real and tender, something hard to name or defend, and wondered whether it even counts as faith. When listeners chose the Season 5 topics, faith and spirituality came in first by a wide margin, so Julie Holly moved the series to the front of the season.In this opening episode, Julie shares why she hesitated to create this content for so long, having been raised in an environment that valued knowing God intellectually far more than sensing Him. She then walks through her own lifelong recalibration with faith, from a four-year-old's pure yes to God, through religiosity, a head-on collision with a drunk driver, an abusive first marriage, and raising her own kids, to the steady trust she lives from today. Along the way, she uses the five stages of the Identity-Level Recalibration pathway as the map for the next six weeks.Julie Holly speaks from a Christian perspective and names Jesus as her fixed point, and she's clear that she isn't here to convince or condemn anyone. If you don't share her faith but are curious about the role of faith and spirituality in your life, you're genuinely welcome here.What's the difference between faith, religiosity, and spirituality?Religiosity reaches for connection by doing the right things, and spirituality reaches for it by feeling the right things; faith is neither. Faith is trust in a person, and trust isn't something you perform or manufacture a sensation of, it's something you place in someone.Julie describes religiosity and spirituality as two practices carrying the same ache. One overcompensates on the doing (read the verse, attend church, complete the devotional), and the other overcompensates on the feeling (meditate enough, find the right crystal, say the right affirmation). Both are reaching for something real, and neither is wrong to be reaching. Julie calls living from trust vertical alignment: orienting your identity toward a fixed point instead of constantly negotiating on the horizontal plane of what's at eye level.Why do I feel disconnected from God even though I'm doing everything right?Because doing the practice was never the same as being in the relationship. You can recite the same prayer a thousand times and never once feel your heart in the room.Julie is clear that reading the Bible, going to church, and spending time with God still matter; they were never the problem. The problem comes when doing them quietly becomes the proof of connection, and faith slowly turns into a checklist.Does being angry at God mean my faith failed?No. More often, it means religiosity failed, because religiosity is transactional ("if I do X, God owes me Y") and it was never built to hold anything.Julie shares the night she hit rock bottom in her first marriage, driving down Highway 99 in the rain, feeling betrayed by her husband and by God after checking every box. The good girl who never cussed found out what was really in her heart and cussed God out. That moment, she says, is where she met God for real, not cleaned up and not earning her way back, and God met her there anyway.The five stages, and the question Julie asks at eachRecognition: you cannot heal what you cannot see. Where have you been doing the practice without being in the relationship, or floating in a feeling with nothing underneath to hold you?Release: what you've been carrying longer than necessary can be set down, with honor, not shame. What's the deal you've made? Where have you been telling yourself that if you're good enough, God (or the universe) owes you something specific?Reclamation: clarity returns, not as something new, but as recognition of what was always true. Where might peace already be closer than you think, not as resolved theology, but as a moment where something in you softened?Reinforcement: alignment doesn't hold in theory; it has to be practiced in the ordinary moments of real life. Where do you expect reinforcement to mean you've arrived? What would it look like to show up again today, exactly as you are, without grading it?Renewed Momentum: the part nobody is selling you, because it cannot be sold. It can only be lived. Where is proof already quietly building in your life, even if you haven't named it yet?A thought to carry with youSome recalibrations happen in a single conversation; others take decades. Julie's recalibration with faith ran from age four to nearly 50, and she never walked away from her faith. She stayed in orbit. What stays fixed is the center, who you were created to be. If your own recalibration feels slow or crooked, pace was never the point. You're not behind.ChaptersWhy faith can feel flat, and why this series came firstHesitating to talk about sensing GodFaith, religiosity, and spirituality: the differenceFaith as trust in a person, and vertical alignmentRecognition: a four-year-old's yes to GodRelease: the drunk driver, the marriage, and the broken dealReclamation: meeting God at rock bottomReinforcement: recalibrating again as a parentRenewed Momentum: knowing who God is through hard seasonsDifferent orbits, same fixed centerThe Recalibration Collective and the Insight & Alignment CallKeep walking this with othersYou don't have to sit alone with this for the next six weeks.

Two episodes back from sabbatical, Julie catches herself feeling the old pull toward performance, the pressure to hit every beat "correctly," and decides to name it out loud instead of hiding it. That honesty becomes the doorway into this episode's real subject: a full walkthrough of the Identity-Level Recalibration pathway, the five stages that carry you from awareness to renewed momentum, told through Julie's own real-time experience and a poem her daughter brought home from school.What's really behind the question "what's next?"For a lot of high-capacity humans, "what's next?" isn't really about the future, it's a sign you've quietly crossed a finish line and gotten bored. Julie hears this question constantly from the high achievers she works with, and she's come to see it less as ambition and more as antsiness: an old high-performance pattern asking to stay in motion, even before you know where you're headed.If I'm not challenging myself, what happens to the energy I bring to life?Nothing happens to it. It's still yours, it's just been tied to proving and performing for so long that you haven't felt what it's like to spend it on anything else. Julie names this as one of the questions she hears most often from clients, and points to what's underneath it: a belief that your value depends on always directing your energy toward the next challenge, which is exactly the kind of belief that recognition brings into view so it can be released.What are the five stages of the Identity-Level Recalibration pathway?Identity-Level Recalibration moves in five stages that feed into each other in a circle, not a straight line: Recognition, Release, Reclamation, Reinforcement, and Renewed Momentum.Recognition is awareness, plain and simple. Julie calls it 80% of the whole process, because you cannot heal what you cannot see. You'll know it's happening when small things start bothering you more than they should, or when you catch yourself asking, "What's wrong with me?"Release is the understanding that what you've been carrying longer than necessary can be set down, with honor, not shame. Letting go of a role isn't abandonment, it's alignment. Julie walks through her own release of the belief that it isn't safe to rest, rooted in childhood programming she's only fully recognized in the past couple of years.Reclamation is when clarity returns, not as something new, but as recognition of what was always true. It isn't a glow up or becoming somebody. It's stopping the performance of somebody you already stopped being. Julie reads Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem "We Wear the Mask" here, brought home from her daughter's English class, as a picture of the mask reclamation lets you finally set down.Reinforcement is staying in the middle long enough for the work to hold, especially hard for high performers who love new beginnings and struggle with the "baking" phase in between. Julie's anchor question for the middle: "What's on the other side?" She also connects this stage to the emotional cycle of change from Crucial Conversations, informed optimism, the trough of despair, and the choice to keep going until you reach informed optimism on the other side.Renewed Momentum is what's waiting on the other side of that middle: a drive that no longer needs an audience, doesn't need to perform to prove worth, and doesn't require earning belonging or status.Inside this episodeWhy Julie is breaking her own "rules" for how a podcast episode is supposed to open, and what she calls The House of RealThe difference between having information (which you can get from Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini) and having human connection, which is why you're hereHow childhood programming around productivity shows up as "the butt sensor," the inability to sit down and relaxWhy reinforcement is the hardest stage for people who thrive on the excitement of starting something newWhat kept Julie committed through 366 consecutive days of the daily podcastA first look at which Season 5 topics listeners are voting for, with faith and spirituality surprising Julie by rising to the topAn invitation into the Recalibration Collective, Julie's new community for ongoing support and connectionVote on Season 5 topicsSeason 5 is being shaped by you.

In this episode of the Race and Rights Podcast, CSRR affiliate and Penn GSE faculty member, Ameena Ghaffar-Kucher, guest hosts an episode reflecting on the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11, a milestone that coincides with the two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the United States. She is joined by Alka Pradhan, Human Rights Counsel for Ammar al-Baluchi in the Guantánamo Bay Military Commissions and adjunct faculty at Penn Carey Law, and Zainab Saleh, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Haverford College. Their discussion traces the legal and military machinery of the so-called Global War on Terrorism and how it continues to shape policy and daily life in the United States and abroad.The conversation situates the response to 9/11 within longer histories of policies and interventions rather than treating it as an aberration. Alka Pradhan examines this through the mechanics of law and the absence of accountability, interrogating the "terrorist" label and its effects, while Zainab Saleh grounds it in the human and material devastation of Iraq, and discusses the role of the media in the disappearance of both Iraq and Afghanistan from public memory. The guests consider how the Global War on Terror has come home: related logics of racialized suspicion that have justified detention and surveillance abroad also shape domestic policing and immigration enforcement. These practices are now drawing wider attention as they increasingly reach people's friends and neighbors, despite long-standing warnings from civil rights groups.The conversation also weighs the benefits and costs of the term Islamophobia itself against alternatives such as racism and anti-Muslim racism. It extends into the newer term anti-Palestinian racism, and into the "Palestinian exception" to free speech, where the same post-9/11 playbook of surveillance and suppression now targets people speaking out on Palestine.Together, the conversation asks what it means to reckon with how the response to 9/11 continues to shape law, policy, and daily life twenty-five years later.#WarOnTerror #September11 #Islamophobia #Guantanamo #CostsOfWar #AntiPalestinianRacism #CivilRights #HumanRightsFurther ReadingMaduro's Trial Follows the Twisted Logic of the War on Terrorism | Alka Pradhan.

The collaboration behind the book In Light and Shadow stems from a decade-long friendship between Alaskan Inuit photographer Brian Adams and non-Indigenous archival researcher Sarah Stacke. The duo first met in 2017 at a National Geographic Seminar in Washington, D.C.. Recognizing a shared commitment to honoring overlooked histories, they launched the 400 Years Project in 2020 to mark the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower's arrival. This initial initiative—featuring commissioned photo stories, licensed works, and a digital archive—served as Sarah's long-term education in understanding that Indigenous visual history is fundamentally about reclamation rather than simple compilation. Growing up as an Indigenous photographer in Alaska, Brian Adams experienced firsthand the lack of relatable resources or visible representation in the field. His early exposure to photography was dominated by external narratives and encyclopedia imagery that failed to reflect his community. Years later, when a publisher approached the pair to expand their digital database into a comprehensive photographic history, Brian and Sarah spent three years turning the initiative into a tangible print resource. Throughout the project's evolution, Brian and Sarah navigated their cross-cultural collaboration with deep mutual trust, constant communication, and clear accountability. Every entry in the book underwent rigorous review alongside living photographers, descendants, and community-run archives to ensure ethical representation. Today, their journey stands as a model for collaborative storytelling, providing young Indigenous visual artists with the representation and career roadmap that Brian lacked in his youth.

On this episode of This Week in Moab, host Celia Alario speaks to Dawn Kish and Richard Jackson about the Glen Canyon Exposed photo exhibit, in its final weeks at the John Wesley Powell River Museum in Green River, Utah, and about a closing celebration September 3rd, 2026 with author Craig Childs. In the second half of the show, Bart Miller, Healthy Rivers Director for Western Resource Advocates offers the first in a series of perspectives on the state of the Colorado River water use planning process, and what recent recommendations from the US Department of Reclamation mean for the arid West.

In this episode of the Awakening Podcast, Roy Coughlan is joined once again by Russell Paul Arter for the latest instalment in their ongoing sovereignty series. Building on the foundational episodes covering status correction, estate reclamation and status protection, Russell walks through the practical documents, lawful procedures and structures involved in creating a private estate — and explains how a sovereign man or woman can step outside the public system and begin building protected, multi-generational wealth. What You'll Discover in This Episode A clear recap of the journey from citizenship to sovereignty — and why the citizen is a legal fiction, not you What a private estate actually is, how it differs from a public estate, and why most people are unknowingly operating entirely within Crown State authority The three-layer private estate structure — the estate itself, the order of overseers, and the master benefit — and how each layer serves a distinct protective function How to convey equity from a public estate into a private one in a tax-free, lawful way using a private contract of exchange and deferred investment Why the master benefit is structured as an irrevocable charitable and missionary organisation — and how that protects the equity from family members, public agencies and the Inland Revenue The public adjudication process — how to publish a public notice and use a state-approved notary to have your private estate recognised as a fact of law How to establish a bank account for a private estate using the legal proxy method and unincorporated association structure Why you must understand and embody all of this yourself — and why handing it to someone else is the single biggest mistake you can make Key Takeaways The citizen is a legal avatar — a construct in law. You as a living man or woman are not the citizen Everything currently registered, licensed or incorporated in the public domain is part of your public estate under the authority of the Crown Estate A private estate can hold property, assets, business interests and investments outside the system — with equity protection and tax immunity The elite families have used exactly this type of structure for generations to build and protect multi-generational wealth You cannot hand this process to someone else — you must become the law, embody the documents and take full personal responsibility Lawful is operating under your own sovereign authority — legal is operating under the jurisdiction and authority of the system Freedom is found in responsibility — when you know everything, you can defend everything How to Connect with Russell Paul Arter

In today's episode, Betsy & Kate reflect on the 4-week online live rewilding course they recently taught, the lessons learned, the stories told, and the 4-step framework that emerged through the experience. In today's episode we talk about:  What exactly is the wild woman archetype and is she even real? How the wild woman archetype often shows up at midlife (even though a young woman in the course taught us all that rewilding can happen much earlier). The 4-step non-linear framework that we believe the rewilding process aligns with (The Call, The Conditioning, The Reclamation, The Repeat). The important question of rewilding: What are you longing for? How we don't live a life, rather we live a pattern and what this means on the rewilding path.   Interested in our online Rewilding Course?  It's not too late to experience it! We taught a 4-week live online rewilding course in July 2026 to 50+ women.  It was an amazingly transformational container that allowed people to engage in 4 things.

A large botulism outbreak in Klamath Basin wetlands could kill more than 100,000 waterbirds if more water is not sent to the wetlands. The Bird Alliance of Oregon is asking the Bureau of Reclamation to release the water to the Klamath National Wildlife Refuges and says if there is no intervention, the die-off could surpass the one in 2024 when 140,000 birds were killed. We talk with Teresa Wicks, Eastern Oregon biologist with the Bird Alliance of Oregon to get more details.

On this episode of the Weekly Newsreel, Station Manager Jenna Whetzel talks with Doug McMurdo, editor of the Moab Times Independent, about the Bureau of Reclamation's declarations regarding the 10-year water management framework, how the Moab City Council issued new watering restrictions, and about an artist who makes pavers and other artwork out of non-recyclable plastics.

Even in a tough fundraising market, investors are still writing checks. The question is: to whom? This week, we break down the latest CPG investment data and examine why protein-packed, dye-free, and ingredient-conscious startups continue to stand out with investors. We also take a closer look at the emerging products generating buzz – including protein candy, mushroom lemonade, snacking croutons, and tinned protein bars – and what they say about the future of food and beverage. Show notes: 0:20: A Timely Story. Which Direction? Head North. Algae Oil Is Hot. Jacked Up. Crunch, Sip, Snack. – The hosts open the episode by discussing the rapid rise of better-for-you candy, prompted by a recent New York Times article highlighting the category's momentum. While debating the role of alternative sweeteners and whether consumers ultimately prefer lower-sugar formulations or products made with real sugar, they also discuss how the success of brands like Poppi has inspired entrepreneurs to apply similar better-for-you playbooks to adjacent categories. The conversation then shifts to investment trends, drawing on Northhall's Q2 2026 Food, Beverage & CPG Financing Report to examine which early-stage concepts are attracting the most investor interest. They highlight recent funding rounds for companies such as Buffs and Algae Cooking Club, along with large-scale M&A activity driven by major corporations repositioning their portfolios around evolving consumer preferences. The hosts also turn their attention to a range of new products, including protein bars packaged in sardine-style tins, snacking croutons, Korean-style bone broth, and mushroom-infused sparkling lemonade. They discuss merchandising strategies, consumer appeal, and whether these unconventional formats and flavors have the potential to break into the mainstream.

Photo: The Colorado River near Lees Ferry, Colo. in May 2026. (Chris Clements / KNAU) The states that share the Colorado River have a new federal framework in place for managing the embattled waterway, but as KNAU's Chris Clements reports, the impact of the U.S. government’s strategy on tribal nations is less clear. The new framework from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation could result in steep cuts to the Central Arizona Project, a delivery system for Colorado River water. That worries some tribal leaders like Orlando Carroll, chairman of the White Mountain Apache Tribe in eastern Arizona. “We definitely would be concerned of any cutbacks that are generated.” Under a federal settlement, Carroll's tribe can lease its share of water from the river, but at least his tribe's water rights have been spelled out. Other tribes, like the Navajo, Hopi, and San Juan Southern Paiute are watching the U.S. put out a Colorado River management plan for the states, while their own water rights in Arizona remain unquantified. Brenda Jesus is a Navajo Nation council delegate. “I just don’t understand that they’ve gotten their water rights decree, yet in the year 2026, the Navajo Nation doesn’t have any.” A settlement to give the Navajo Nation its water rights in Arizona is still under consideration in Congress. Golden king crab season runs from August 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027. (Courtesy Ethan Nichols / Alaska Department of Fish and Game Golden king crab season opened on Saturday in the Aleutian Islands. This year, the total allowable catch for the region is 13% higher than it was last season, as Katie Reuther reports from KUCB. Ethan Nichols is an Area Management Biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) based in Dutch Harbor. He says this reflects a sizable increase for the western area of the fishery, at over a million and a half pounds this season. “The quota in the east this year is a very slight decrease from last season, it’s down 4%. In the western area, it's a large increase this year. It’s a 79% increase.” Due to the size of the golden king crab fishery, it is split into two different management areas: one east of Atka and the other to the west, each with their own harvest levels. “The east has more fishable depths or more fishable ground, whereas you get further west and much smaller islands that drop off quicker.” That means better fishing in the eastern area. Even with a slight decrease in allowable catch this year, the eastern area's limit is still more than double that of the west's limit at over three million pounds. Nichols says he is optimistic about the upcoming season. “I think it's a really unique crab fishery, just where the fishing occurs, it being a deep water fishery from a select few vessels, and I'm excited about the upcoming season.” Just four vessels are expected to fish for golden king crab this season. The fishery was worth $29.5 million at the dock last year, according to preliminary figures from ADFG. This year's season ends next April. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) meets for a business meeting in June 2026. (Courtesy ACHP / Facebook) Tribal historic preservation leaders are voicing concerns over proposed changes to the federal review process for projects that could affect sacred sites and cultural resources. Last month, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation voted to advance a proposed rule revising Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, a key law requiring federal agencies to consider impacts on historic properties and consult with Tribal Nations. The National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers says the proposal would weaken tribal consultation, narrow protections for places of religious and cultural significance, and give federal agencies greater authority over the review process. The proposal now heads to federal review before it is published for public comment. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Reclamation: Restorative Justice and a Church Returned for Scotland's Accused WitchesWe follow the question history books can't answer: once the harm of witch hunting is acknowledged, what does repair look like? Trauma resolution practitioner Claire Standen, founder of Reclamation, is building a Scottish community interest organization seeking reparations for the thousands prosecuted under Scotland's Witchcraft Act (1500s–1700s), arguing apology without action isn't meaningful. Her central demand is radical and concrete: the Church of Scotland—already apologetic—should gift an unused church building (not sold or grant-funded) to be stewarded as a community headquarters and a Center for Female Authority, reclaiming sacred space once tied to persecution. Drawing on trauma work and epigenetic inheritance, she connects historic terror to today's inherited silence and societal patterns, and outlines a restorative justice approach where those harmed define what healing requires.

Have you ever felt the weight of language expectations? Here's how it shaped my journey: Tag someone who's navigating identity through language! Growing up, I was often caught between two worlds. In a predominantly white high school, my voice felt out of place. At home, I was too ‘white' for my peers. It took time, but I learned that blending these experiences made my perspective unique. Language is powerful. It can connect, liberate, or even isolate. I realized that our differences in language and culture are not limitations but strengths. In my teaching, I emphasize the beauty of every dialect and the importance of understanding various backgrounds. It's crucial to recognize and respect each other's voices and stories. Let's celebrate our human diversity!

Judi Holler will happily tell you she is one of the biggest fraidy cats you will ever meet. She is afraid of all the things. She is also a keynote speaker, USA TODAY bestselling author of Fear Is My Homeboy and a self-described professional experimenter who has spent nearly twenty years treating fear as her most important advisor. That contradiction is precisely the point of this conversation, because as Judi sees it, the goal was never fearless. The goal is brave. Her courage was built in unlikely places. Working in corporate America by day, Judi spent her nights in the dark, dingy little theatres of Chicago’s improv scene, eventually training at the legendary Second City. She calls improv her fear yoga. With no script and no safety net, those basement stages taught her how to make mistakes, recover, listen and act before she felt ready. Then she started smuggling those lessons into the office: speaking up first in meetings, sitting in the front row, going for the promotion, asking for the raise. Small brave moves that walked new people and opportunities into her life, until the morning her boss sat her down over breakfast and told her to choose between her corporate career and her growing speaking work. She set down her fork and knife, looked at him and said, I don’t choose you. I’m going to choose me on this one. I quit. A decade later, she has never looked back. Fearless is for five-year-olds and sociopaths Judi takes issue with the word fearless, plastered as it is across t-shirts, bumper stickers and tattoos. If you were truly fearless, she points out, you would never see a doctor, you would eat poisonous food on purpose, you would punch a shark in the face. Borrowing a line from Elizabeth Gilbert, she reminds us that the only genuinely fearless people are five-year-olds and sociopaths. Fear is wisdom. The work is not to eliminate it but to fear your fear less, and bravery, like confidence and creativity, is a muscle built through daily experimentation. Your brain versus your soul At the heart of Judi’s methodology sits a tension we all live with: our brains are louder, faster and more practised than our souls. The brain has one job, safety, and it can only reference past data, endlessly auditing your life and pulling you back towards the familiar. But life does not follow old data. Life is improv. There is no script. The soul is your capacity to trust yourself and make decisions inside uncertainty, and Judi is quick to note this is no longer woo. She points to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Work research, where skills like resilience, creative thinking, motivation and self-awareness now top the list of what the world needs, and every one of them lives in the soul. Reclaim, don’t reinvent When Judi felt creatively caged five years ago, she resisted the urge to tear it all down. Reinvention, she says, whispers that what you have built is not good enough. Reclamation says the opposite: I love what you have made here, and I want to see more. Through a confrontational journey of self-discovery, she realised nothing was ever wrong with her. She had simply been painting the canvas of her life with everybody else’s brush. Out of that season came the HOLLER Method, a personal operating system for courage built letter by letter from her own surname, along with nightly rituals like her 9.30pm glitch list, where she captures the ideas her brain would rather she forgot. Judi leaves the audience with three golden nuggets: Trust it all. Every twist, delay and detour is preparing you for what comes next. Experiment with your fear. Every day. On purpose. Small brave moves compound into a courageous life. Honour the graveyard rule. As Les Brown says, the graveyard is the richest place on earth, full of dreams that were never acted on. Do not let yours be buried there. It is a funny, honest and deeply practical conversation about courage, self-trust and the experiments that bring us back to ourselves. Whatever you have been waiting to do, take the first step. Go scared. Watch the full conversation on YouTube.

June 25, 2026 Why Great Construction Starts Below Ground w/ Jonathan Pease (DT 455) Jonathan is the founder of Rock Solid Stabilization & Reclamation, a nationwide specialty contractor. He stumbled into soil stabilization after watching a fly ash demonstration two weeks before bidding a car dealership job — and turned a niche no one wanted into one of the most in-demand specialties in modern site work. He reveals why every road, parking lot, and data center in America is only as good as the dirt underneath it — and why the industry is still barely scratching the surface of what stabilization can do.

You'll have likely heard it before: "There is no right way. Only your way." It's often one of the most repeated phrases in spirituality and energy work. But what happens when the very structures beneath that message make your own way impossible to find?In this episode, I explore spiritual ego, inherited systems, the hidden cost of external authority, and why so many practitioners find themselves caught between staying loyal to methods and that were never built from their own roots – despite being deeply intuitive. From 21-day Reiki cleanses and spiritual aesthetics to the fragmentation of the Sacred Triangle, this conversation examines how surface-level anything can quietly disconnect us from the truth of our own power. Most importantly, it explores why rejection isn't the destination.Reclamation is.By the end of this episode, you'll explore five perspective shifts:Why spiritual ego often appears as certainty around there being a "right way" to be spiritual, heal, or practise.How surface-level prescriptions create shame and self-doubt while bypassing the deeper causes of change.Why authenticity doesn't look like anything - and how spiritual aesthetics can become substitutes for genuine self-trust.How the fragmentation of the Sacred Triangle - Theory, Intuition, and Spiritual Wisdom - creates dependency on external authority and therefore disconnectionWhy rejecting inherited systems is a vital first step, but why the deeper invitation is reclamationSpirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathwayNo cost community: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/UNDILUTED no cost weekly round up: https://reiki-redefined.kit.com/6629991732You'll find me most on Tiktok @reikiredefined

Performance and Works used with permission from the artist and venue. Founded in Chicago and Led by Bassist Kevin Robert Martinez, Reclamation Band is modern jazz with an open rural backdrop. Its unique combination of composed and improvised elements evokes an array of moods and styles such as Americana, Avante-Garde and Blues. A number of things make this group's sound unique. The first is the equal division between a guitar and two saxophone leads versus a rhythm section that includes Bass and Bass Clarinet along with drums. I'm a sucker for the Bass Clarinet sound and Kevin really understands how to leverage that sound in a way few other composers do. The second is that the group functions more as a versatile collective than as a fixed unit. Some configurations exchange a saxophone for a trumpet while others exclude guitar. Kevin took eight months off from the band before regrouping for a tour in support of their recent release These Roads and the new material shines as a result. Featuring Kevin Martinez on Bass, Anthony Tadeo on Percussion, Dan Bruce on Guitar, Tony Spicer on Bass Clarinet, Chris Coles on Alto Saxophone and Tim McDonald on Tenor Saxophone, and from a July 19th, 2025 performance it's the Reclamation Band…Live at the Bop Stop.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Cree Scott, clinical psychologist, founder of Serenity Psy Consulting, and our guest for Episode 21. Dr. Scott recorded with us in November 2025 and passed away in December. Her episode aired posthumously in March 2026, timed to the launch of her book. Her wisdom, her warmth, and her work live on. Rest well, Dr. Cree. Twenty-eight episodes. One theme. And more wisdom than could have been anticipated when Season 8 began. In this solo season finale, Laura reflects on the conversations, themes, and light bulb moments that defined Season 8 of Black Woman Leading. Rather than revisiting episodes one by one, Laura organizes her reflections around five powerful themes that emerged across the season — themes that collectively paint a picture of what it truly means to Lean Into Joy as a Black woman leader. The five themes Laura explores are Joy as Resistance and Reclamation, The Identity Reckoning, The Body, Burnout, and the Strong Black Woman Trope, Career Navigation in a Shifting World, and Connection, Community, and Leading Beyond Yourself. Along the way, she weaves in moments from guest conversations across the season, naming what landed, what shifted, and what she will carry forward. Laura also does something she has not done all season: she answers the Leaning Into Joy questions she asked every guest. What is her definition of joy? What does leading with joy look like at this stage of her career? Has she ever had to re-learn joy after a difficult season? And what is bringing her joy right now — and how does she protect it? The episode closes with a warm send-off to the Season 8 community and a first look at what Season 9 will explore: the art of cultivating relationships that are authentic, boundaried, and rooted in who you actually are — with yourself, your team, your community, and the people in your personal life who make sustainable leadership possible. Season 8 was about reclaiming joy. Season 9 is about building from that place of wholeness.  Stay tuned! About Laura Laura Knights is the Creator of Black Woman Leading® and host of the podcast.

Pluto stationed retrograde on May 5, 2026 at 5° Aquarius and stays retrograde through October 15 — moving only two degrees back to 3° Aquarius. But Pluto is a Mack truck. It doesn't shift gears overnight. This Rx medicine is still fresh. In this episode, I'm walking you through what this Pluto retrograde is really asking of us as leaders, changemakers, and wayfinders. The revolution starts inside of you.

"Saying the pledge now isn't capitulation. It's repossession." Reviews are the lifeblood of independent podcasts. If TP&R belongs in more people's ears, here's how you make that happen: Apple Podcasts: Rate & Review on Apple Spotify: Rate on Spotify For 15 years, Corey stood during the Pledge of Allegiance without putting his hand on his heart or saying the words. It wasn't apathy, and it wasn't a performance. It was a conviction, rooted in Scripture and a genuine question: is this a pledge I can actually make? Then something shifted. In this solo episode, Corey traces the journey from that first awkward moment of awareness at a local business meeting, through the Book of Daniel, to a spring morning in 2026 — and explains why starting to say the pledge again isn't a concession to anyone. It's a reclamation.

Standing and reciting from muscle memory is different from making a conscious pledge. The distinction matters. The flag and the republic are not the same thing. One can be weaponized; the other is the idea worth pledging to. Corey's return to the pledge came from finally separating the two. January 6th is not an abstraction. Men with the flag draped across their backs as a cape, the pole weaponized against police officers — those are photographs of specific people committing a specific desecration. That image clarified something. Reclamation, not capitulation. Words like conservative, Christian, liberty, and freedom have been sloganized and shouted as weapons. They belong to a tradition, not to the people who've hijacked them. Same goes for the pledge. The grammar of the pledge matters. Read without the unwritten, hypnotic pauses, the pledge isn't to a flag. It's to the republic for which the flag stands. That's a pledge worth making.

Every return this season led to the same place. This episode names the deepest reclamation of the year — not a skill or a new identity, but the self who was always there, waiting to be returned to.Every week this season, the Reclamation stage asked the same question: what's true about who I am that I've stopped being able to access? Week after week, the return led to the same center — not a new version, not a constructed identity, but the self that was always there before the performance started.This episode is the Reclamation stage of Week 16: Living Recalibrated. Wednesday in the final week holds the deepest recognition of the entire season: you were always the one you were returning to.What we name in this episode:Why the ILR pathway uncovers identity rather than building itThe critical distinction between broken and obscured — and why it changes everythingWhat it means that every return this season led to the same placeWhy the growth was real and the growth was homecoming — simultaneouslyHow to receive the recognition that you were never the projectThis isn't a consolation. It's the most demanding thing the pathway asks: to receive the truth that the person you've been working to become was always already there — obscured, not absent — and that all the work was the path clearing, not the person building.Today's Micro Recalibration: Who have I been returning to, every time I drifted and came back this season? Let the answer be a person — the specific felt sense of yourself when the performance stops.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

High capacity humans often wait to feel more different before they trust the change is real. This episode names what identity-led living actually looks like — and why the most honest evidence arrives in the moments you didn't plan.There's a moment in every significant season of growth when the evidence stops arriving in the places you've been watching — and starts showing up in the ones you weren't.This episode is the Reclamation stage of Week 15: Integration Across Life. Not a new truth to learn — a recognition of what's already true. What we're reclaiming today is the evidence that identity-led living isn't something we're building toward. It's something already happening in the ordinary moments of our actual relationships.What we name in this episode:Why the most honest evidence of integration arrives in unplanned relational momentsThe specific skepticism high-capacity humans bring to evidence of real changeWhy trying to replicate the unplanned response turns it from evidence into strategyWhat it means to receive the evidence without immediately qualifying itWhy reclaimed identity doesn't require maintenance — only returnThis isn't a conversation about trying harder or showing up better. Identity-Level Recalibration works at the root — when the identity shifts, the unplanned responses shift with it. Not because of effort in the moment, but because of work that went deep enough to change the default.Today's Micro Recalibration: Think of one relationship that has historically carried weight. Where did you show up differently recently — without planning to? Notice it. Receive it as evidence. Don't immediately qualify it.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

On this date in 1952, the public was invited to a tree planting ceremony on the state capitol grounds at Bismarck. The Washington, DC Evening Star reported that North Dakotans were dedicating a tree by the Senate entrance to mark the 50th anniversary of the National Reclamation Law sponsored by Senator Henry Hansbrough. Members of the North Dakota congressional delegation and their staff participated in the ceremony.

Go deeper with Sedna, Chiron + Hygeia The Alchemical Healers support deep release, healing, and transformation. Details here Are you feeling the intensity? This week marks a profound threshold — a deep biological and energetic metamorphosis as Uranus enters Gemini and we move toward the Scorpio Full Moon. In this astrology deep dive, we explore the arc of the week: the shift → the shakeup → the revelation → the point of no return. With Uranus in Gemini, Sedna activated, and a deeply exposing Full Moon in Scorpio, truths are rising fast — not only in the world around you, but within you. This is a week of breakthroughs, shadow work, emotional revelation, nervous system rewiring, and life-altering pivots. For many, it may feel like a snapping point — a moment where something becomes impossible to ignore. You may find yourself at the edge of a truth you can no longer unsee. A pattern you can no longer keep living. A threshold you can only cross by letting the old fall away. This isn't just an intense week. It's a reckoning. A purge. A turning point in your personal evolution. In this episode we explore: • Uranus in Gemini + Sedna = biological and energetic transformation • The emotional intensity of the Scorpio Full Moon • Truths, hidden patterns, and shadow material rising to the surface • How to identify the area of life asking for change • The line-in-the-sand moment that creates real forward movement If this episode is stirring something deeper, there are a few ways to go deeper into the work: Resources to take you deeper: THE ALCHEMICAL HEALERS: Work directly with the archetypes of Chiron, Sedna, and Hygeia to transform core wounds into wisdom.

Most high-capacity humans lost their self-trust after an outcome — not a failure of judgment. There's a version of self-trust that doesn't need outcomes to cooperate. This episode reclaims it.Most high-capacity humans didn't lose their self-trust because of a failure of judgment. They lost it because of an outcome.Something didn't work. A decision that seemed right turned out wrong. A direction pursued with everything they had came apart. And in the aftermath, a quiet conclusion formed: I've been wrong. I can't fully trust myself.That conclusion feels responsible. Even wise. But it made a mistake most high performers never catch — it anchored self-trust to something that was never a reliable foundation.Outcomes.There are two kinds of self-trust. The first is certainty-based: I trust myself because I know it will work out. That version resets with every new unknown. You can win and still not trust yourself — because the next decision is always coming, and certainty-based self-trust has no memory. Every unknown forces the proof to start again.The second kind is alignment-based: I trust myself because I know how I show up when I don't know how it ends. That version is stable. Not because outcomes always cooperate, but because the foundation is entirely internal — rooted in orientation, character, and the evidence of how you move when it's genuinely hard.This is the Reclamation stage of Week 14. And what we're reclaiming is the self-trust the certainty requirement displaced — by quietly replacing the right question with the wrong one.Not: was I right? But: was I oriented?Is this episode for you?Your self-trust took a hit from an outcome that didn't cooperateYou're seeking more external validation than you used toYou know you're capable — and you still hesitate to fully trust your own readWhat we walk through:The two kinds of self-trust and why one will always be fragileThe question that reclaims the stable foundationWhy the evidence you've been dismissing is the evidence that actually countsToday's Recalibration:Think of a decision you've second-guessed. Ask: was I oriented when I made it? That answer is the evidence.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

In this episode of Feminine Frequency, we're doing a Pod swap with our friends over at The New Truth podcast. Amy Natalie dives deep into the heart of feminine liberation with Kate Harlow and we have a conversation that explores the profound journey of shedding societal expectations and the "Good Girl" conditioning that keeps so many women playing small, silent, and disconnected from their true essence. Amy shares her personal evolution from a life of "checking the boxes"—including a traditional marriage and religious expectations—to a life of radical authenticity, vibrant sensuality, and deep somatic healing. Together, the two Amys illuminate the path from people-pleasing and emotional suppression to becoming a Multi-Dimensional Woman: one who embraces her full range of power, truth, and purpose.Themes: How women are conditioned by culture, religion, and lineage to choose acceptance over authenticity, leading to anxiety and physical misalignment.Exploring the inner conflict between attachment and authenticity, inspired by Gabor Maté.How the "Good Girl" program lives in the nervous system and how movement and dance are the keys to unlocking suppressed life forceThe honest reality of the transition period—where old relationships may fall away and a temporary sense of loneliness occurs before new, high-frequency "Soul Family" connections are magnetized.Practical insights on how to speak your truth to loved ones (like parents or partners) in a way that honors your evolution while inviting deeper, more honest intimacy.A celebration of the "New Paradigm" of sisterhood, where women support each other's expansion rather than viewing another's light as a threat to their own.Three-step framework for transformation: Awareness (seeing the patterns), Acceptance (loving the parts that want to hide), and Aligned Action (living as your higher self).SPECIAL OFFER:

If you keep having the same argument — different words, same feeling — this episode is for why. Most conflict has three layers. Most people only address the first one. Today we look at what lives underneath.There is a practice called storywork — the process of identifying the narrative scripts we carry from our earliest relational experiences. Stories formed early, often without words, about who we are, what we deserve, how relationships work, and what conflict means. When those scripts run unconsciously, conflict feels personal. When we can see the script — ours and the other person's — conflict becomes legible.Most conflict has three layers. The content layer: what the conflict says it's about. The relationship layer: what it's signaling about the connection. And the identity layer: the old story, the wound from long ago, pressing on the present without anyone intending it to. Most arguments are fought at the content layer while the identity layer goes unaddressed. Which is why the same argument keeps returning — in different clothes, with different content — because the story underneath it was never read.This episode is the Reclamation stage of Week 12 on conflict. Reclamation here means recovering the capacity to be curious while still inside the conflict — to ask not what's wrong, but what's being activated. That shift is a nervous system event. And it changes everything about how presence becomes possible.In this episode you'll recognize:What storywork is and why it makes conflict readable rather than just survivableThe three layers of conflict and why most arguments never reach the one that mattersWhy seeing someone's wound doesn't excuse their behavior — it makes it understandableHow the same argument keeps returning when the identity layer goes unaddressedThe shift from 'what's wrong' to 'whose story is surfacing' — and why that changes your postureToday's Micro Recalibration:Think of a recurring conflict in your life. Ask three questions — one for each layer. Content: what is this conflict saying it's about? Relationship: what is it signaling about the connection between us? Identity: whose story is surfacing here, and what does that story believe about itself?This is EP 334 · Week 12 · Season 4 of The Recalibration with Julie Holly.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Nervous system tension around people can create quiet exhaustion and relational strain, even when nothing is “wrong.” This episode explores why subtle bracing isn't personality, but protection — and how identity-level recalibration restores embodied belonging.Why is my nervous system tense around people?Not panicked.Not socially anxious in an obvious way.Just slightly braced.In this Reclamation episode of The Recalibration, we explore the lived experience of subtle activation — the shortened breath, the careful tone, the sense of being slightly evaluated even in rooms where we technically belong.Many capable, high-responsibility leaders don't experience burnout through collapse. They experience it through chronic composure. Through relational vigilance. Through the quiet exhaustion of being present and prepared at the same time.Belonging is not just social. It is biological.When the nervous system learns that safety is maintained through anticipation, emotional steadiness, and regulation of the room, tension becomes invisible — but constant. Over time, that tension shapes relationships, leadership culture, and even identity.We can be connected and still not fully relaxed.This episode explores:The difference between ventral safety and subtle activationWhy micro-bracing becomes automaticHow co-regulation shapes culture in leadership relationshipsWhy functional connection can still feel slightly guardedHow identity misalignment creates nervous system strainAnd most importantly, what Reclamation truly means.Reclamation is not becoming someone new.It is becoming less armored in the life you already built.If you've ever searched:Why do I feel tense in groups?Why do I brace before speaking?Why do I feel exhausted after social interaction?Why does leadership feel steady but guarded?Today's Micro Recalibration:In your next relational space, notice one moment where your body tightens.Instead of correcting it, gently ask:“What am I preparing for?”Then take one slower breath than usual.Not to perform calm.But to allow your nervous system to experience safety in real time.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!
