Join HERE September is bringing something we desperately need: a little bit of LIGHT.After the intensity of July and August, the September Akashic Forecast carries a very different energy. The world around us may still feel like a storm—unstable, overwhelming, and at times incredibly difficult to navigate—but something is beginning to break through the clouds.And this month, our theme is REDISCOVERY.Rediscovering the people we love. The things that bring us joy. The beauty of our everyday lives. Even the mundane—the ordinary moments we so often rush through, dismiss, or wish away.In this episode, I share the channeled September Akashic Forecast and break the message down into five themes: finding your footing in the storm, rediscovering the importance of the mundane, remembering what you love, understanding why replenishment is preparation, and anchoring more deeply within yourself.Because the storm isn't necessarily ending yet, and the sun doesn't need the storm to be over before it can begin breaking through.And neither does your joy, your love, your presence, or your ability to feel fully ALIVE.September is inviting us to rediscover the sweetness that is still here—and I, for one, am READY for it.I pray it serves you :))SEPTEMBER Events & Offerings:~ REGISTRATION OPENS 9/14 ~ Access Your Akashic Soul starts 10/5: My 10-Week Deep Dive into reading and conducting energy healing with the Akashic Records. https://ahnahendrix.com/access-your-akashic-soul/~ Receive 20% OFF Akashic Soul Readings until 9/14 using code CONNECT!!

Story Transcript:Ca: El sol brillava amb força sobre les muntanyes de Montserrat.En: The sun shone brightly over the mountains of Montserrat.Ca: Les roques tenien formes estranyes, com si haguessin estat esculpides per gegants fa molt de temps.En: The rocks had strange shapes, as if they had been carved by giants a long time ago.Ca: Martí i Laia caminaven pel camí empedrat.En: Martí and Laia walked along the cobbled path.Ca: Feia setmanes que Laia havia tornat de l'estranger, però Martí encara la sentia lluny.En: It had been weeks since Laia had returned from abroad, but Martí still felt she was distant.Ca: —Laia, mira quina vista!En: "Laia, look at that view!"Ca: —va dir Martí, senyalant el monestir al fons.En: said Martí, pointing at the monastery in the distance.Ca: Laia es va aturar.En: Laia paused.Ca: Els seus ulls es van enfocar en el paisatge, però la seva ment era lluny.En: Her eyes focused on the landscape, but her mind was far away.Ca: Tot plegat era tan familiar i alhora tan estrany després de tants mesos fora.En: Everything was so familiar yet so strange after so many months away.Ca: —És bonic —va respondre Laia, amb una veu suau.En: "It's beautiful," Laia responded, in a soft voice.Ca: Martí es va acostar a la seva germana gran.En: Martí moved closer to his older sister.Ca: Sempre havien estat molt units.En: They had always been very close.Ca: Però ara, hi havia quelcom que els separava.En: But now, there was something that separated them.Ca: Era com si una ombra es negués a esvair-se.En: It was as if a shadow refused to disappear.Ca: —Estàs bé, Laia?En: "Are you okay, Laia?"Ca: —va preguntar, amb un to preocupat.En: he asked, with a concerned tone.Ca: Laia va girar el cap cap a ell.En: Laia turned her head towards him.Ca: Els seus ulls mostraven cansament i incertesa.En: Her eyes showed tiredness and uncertainty.Ca: Volia explicar-li moltes coses.En: She wanted to tell him many things.Ca: La soledat d'un lloc nou, l'emoció de l'aprenentatge, però també la por de perdre's en allò conegut.En: The loneliness of a new place, the excitement of learning, but also the fear of losing herself in the familiar.Ca: Van caminar fins arribar a un mirador.En: They walked until they reached a viewpoint.Ca: Les ombres dels núvols es movien ràpidament sobre la vall.En: The shadows of the clouds moved quickly over the valley.Ca: Martí va decidir que era el moment.En: Martí decided it was time.Ca: Va inhalar profundament.En: He inhaled deeply.Ca: —Laia, et veig diferent —va admetre Martí amb sinceritat—.En: "Laia, you seem different," Martí admitted sincerely.Ca: Vull ajudar-te, però no sé com.En: "I want to help you, but I don't know how."Ca: Laia es va recolzar a la barana del mirador.En: Laia leaned on the railing of the viewpoint.Ca: Allà, amb l'aire fresc de l'estiu, es va atrevir.En: There, with the fresh summer air, she dared.Ca: —No sé on encaixo ara —va confessar Laia—.En: "I don't know where I fit in now," Laia confessed.Ca: Tot ha canviat, però també jo he canviat.En: "Everything has changed, but I have changed too."Ca: Martí va sentir un pes al pit.En: Martí felt a weight on his chest.Ca: A poc a poc, es va acostar i va posar el seu braç al voltant d'ella.En: Slowly, he moved closer and put his arm around her.Ca: —Estem aquí, Laia.En: "We're here, Laia.Ca: Estic amb tu.En: I'm with you."Ca: Laia va deixar anar una llàgrima de felicitat compartida.En: Laia shed a tear of shared happiness.Ca: La muntanya s'havia convertit en el testimoni d'una promesa renovada.En: The mountain had become the witness of a renewed promise.Ca: Martí la va apretar amb força, i en aquell moment va entendre el valor del silenci i l'escolta.En: Martí held her tightly, and in that moment he understood the value of silence and listening.Ca: Al capvespre, mentre el sol s'ocultava darrere les majestuoses cimes, el cor de Laia es va sentir més tranquil.En: At dusk, as the sun hid behind the majestic peaks, Laia's heart felt more at peace.Ca: Martí havia trencat l'escut i havia mostrat l'amor sincer d'un germà.En: Martí had broken through the shield and had shown the sincere love of a brother.Ca: La soledat s'esvaïa i es transformava en un record que mai més no la separaria de casa.En: The loneliness faded and transformed into a memory that would never again separate her from home.Ca: Van tornar al monestir amb una nova llum.En: They returned to the monastery with a new light.Ca: Martí havia descobert la paciència i la comprensió, i Laia, un lloc al qual tornar sempre.En: Martí had discovered patience and understanding, and Laia, a place to always return to.Ca: Montserrat es convertia així en un punt de partida per a noves esperances i somnis compartits, un retorn per a ella, i per a ell, un descobriment del que realment significa ser germà.En: Montserrat thus became a starting point for new hopes and shared dreams, a return for her, and for him, a discovery of what it truly means to be a brother.

О послу, брзом темпу живота и сумњама које су га пратиле.En: With a sigh, Miloš began talking about his current life in the city, about work, the fast pace of life, and the doubts that followed him.Sr: Татјана, са својом слободоумношћу, говорила је о искуствима и лекцијама које је научила током путовања.En: Tatjana, with her free spirit, spoke about the experiences and lessons she learned during her travels.Sr: — Знаш, понекад недостаје ми она слобода коју смо имали када смо били млађи — признаде Милош, погледајући у далеку линију хоризонта.En: "You know, sometimes I miss that freedom we had when we were younger," Miloš admitted, looking out at the distant horizon line.Sr: У том тренутку, нестало су неспоразуми.En: At that moment, misunderstandings disappeared.Sr: Сетили су се авантуре, по пустињаку једног кањона крај Таре, када су се изгубили али ипак прошли најневероватније тренутке.En: They remembered the adventure, like a hermit in a canyon near Tara, when they got lost but still experienced the most incredible moments.Sr: Смејали су се, славајући звуке младалачке безбрижности.En: They laughed, celebrating the sounds of youthful carefreeness.Sr: — Можда можемо да се сретнемо чешће, поново раскринкамо неки нови кањон заједно? — предложи Татјана са искреном, топлом надом.En: "Maybe we can meet more often, explore a new canyon together?" Tatjana suggested with sincere, warm hope.Sr: — Хоћемо, обећавам — одговори Милош, схватајући важност спонтаности и везе коју је скоро заборавио.En: "We will, I promise," Miloš replied, realizing the importance of spontaneity and the bond he had almost forgotten.Sr: У том заносу смеха и причања, обећали су себи да ће ово поновити, полако градити оно што је испод свега било ту.En: In that rush of laughter and storytelling, they promised themselves to do this again, slowly building what had always been there.Sr: Милош је тог дана схватио да спонтаност и пријатељство могу бити лек за све његове сумње, а Татјана је осетила да је намерила да поново направи место које може назвати домом.En: Miloš realized that spontaneity and friendship could be a remedy for all his doubts, while Tatjana felt determined to remake a place she could call home.Sr: Тара је шапутала своју песму летње ноћи, а колеба је остала сведок једног новог почетка.En: Tara whispered her song of the summer night, and the cabin remained a witness to a new beginning.

Send us Fan Mail281 Bonus Episode (Thoughts): More IdentityHere´s a little update on my Identity journey and this week I´m diving into my wardrobe!

Does your clothes reflect who you are? Next episode will be 2026-08-08 and a brand new meditation! Be The Light! Share the Light. Spread the Light. Shine!LDS AND MEDIUM PODCAST BACKGROUND:I was born into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or LDS for short. All my life I felt awkward and out of place, not because of my religion, but because of my spiritual gifts. It was hard to combine the idea of what first seemed like two separate worlds. So my whole life I have tried. I have learnt more about my gifts, and stayed faithful to my faith. But then I heard people left the church because it seems impossible to combine the two. So I am here, to try and mend the rift. To show that it is possible to be both LDS and to have, and use, our spiritual gifts. I am not alone on this journey, but my sister, who just is waking up to her spiritual gifts is by my side and she will also share her story.Jesus Christ, our older brother, was a healer. He asked us to love one another. So let´s follow in his footsteps. Please join me on this journey, let´s make a community of strong spiritual LDS, or whatever religion you belong to, and all work together to make this world a better place.If you like what I do, then you can find me here:https://linktr.ee/ldsandmediumIf you have words of support or stories that you anonymously want me to share please write me at ldsandmedium@gmail.com.

In this episode of Lost Women of Science Conversations, host Elah Feder explores the remarkable resurgence of I Who Have Never Known Men, Jacqueline Harpman's 1995 novel that went largely unnoticed for decades before becoming an international sensation. Harpman was a psychoanalyst and her training informed the book's speculative fiction, dystopian, and science fiction genres.Elah first speaks with award-winning translator Ros Schwartz, who translated the novel into English twice –once in 1997 and again in 2022, when a new edition helped introduce Harpman's work to a new generation of readers.Later, Elah is joined by Susan Watkins, Professor of Women's Writing at Leeds Beckett University, to discuss the novel's themes of resilience, isolation, and survival, and why this once-overlooked book is resonating so strongly with readers today.

This 4th of July marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Although we often remember the American Revolution as driven by anger over taxation and representation, journalist Rebecca Nagle says the country's founding was also compelled by a hunger for Indigenous land. Nagle is the host of the new podcast First America, which unveils a history of our country's founding that most Americans never learned. She joins Marisa to talk about how that history shapes the political moment we're living through today. But first, Marisa and Guy discuss a filmed confrontation from the weekend in which pro-Palestinian activists ran state Sen. Scott Wiener out of the San Francisco Trans March during Pride weekend. The viral video has become a flashpoint for right-wing critics and is signaling how central Israel and Gaza will be to November's midterm elections.

han skulle mødes med sine gamle venner, Astrid og Klaus.En: His heart pounded hard; he was going to meet his old friends, Astrid and Klaus.Da: Søren havde savnet dem.En: Søren had missed them.Da: Han havde besluttet, at i dag skulle være dagen, hvor de genfandt deres stærke bånd.En: He had decided that today would be the day they revitalized their strong bond.Da: Men hvad hvis alt var forandret?En: But what if everything had changed?Da: Tiden kan ændre mennesker.En: Time can change people.Da: Søren frygtede, at deres venskab ikke længere passede ham, nu hvor han var tilbage i Danmark.En: Søren feared that their friendship might no longer suit him now that he was back in Danmark.Da: Ved rosenhaven ventede Astrid.En: By the rose garden, Astrid was waiting.Da: Hendes smil var som en frisk brise.En: Her smile was like a fresh breeze.Da: "Søren!"En: "Søren!"Da: råbte hun og vinkede ivrigt.En: she shouted and waved eagerly.Da: Astrid var altid værdsat for sin varme og stabilitet.En: Astrid had always been appreciated for her warmth and stability.Da: Hun havde altid været hans ven, hans trygge holdepunkt.En: She had always been his friend, his safe point of support.Da: Men under overfladen længtes hun efter eventyr, han kunne se dette nye skær i hendes øjne.En: But beneath the surface, she longed for adventure; he could see this new glint in her eyes.Da: Kort efter ankom Klaus.En: Shortly after, Klaus arrived.Da: Han så selvsikker ud, klædt i en smart jakkesæt, en fængende kontrast til parkens afslappede atmosfære.En: He looked confident, dressed in a smart suit, a striking contrast to the park's relaxed atmosphere.Da: Klaus var driftig og havde haft stor succes.En: Klaus was ambitious and had enjoyed great success.Da: Alligevel kunne Søren - intuitiv som altid - fornemme en indre kamp bag Klaus' selvsikre facade.En: Yet Søren - intuitive as ever - could sense an inner struggle behind Klaus' confident facade.Da: "Det er godt at se jer," sagde Søren og krammede sine venner.En: "It's good to see you both," said Søren and hugged his friends.Da: De talte om gamle minder, om deres skoledage og fælles oplevelser.En: They talked about old memories, their school days, and shared experiences.Da: Men under latteren gemte sig spørgsmålet – kunne de tre stadig finde en fælles vej?En: But beneath the laughter lay the question - could the three still find a common path?Da: Som eftermiddagen skred frem, satte de sig i skyggen af et stort træ, blomsterhavens lyde og farver omkring dem.En: As the afternoon progressed, they sat in the shade of a large tree, the sounds and colors of the flower garden around them.Da: Det var Astrid, der først brød stilheden.En: It was Astrid who first broke the silence.Da: "Har vi væk fra hinanden?"En: "Have we drifted apart?"Da: spurgte hun med et glimt af bekymring.En: she asked with a glint of concern.Da: Klaus nikkede stille, mens han kiggede ned.En: Klaus nodded quietly, looking down.Da: Søren tog en dyb indånding og svarede: "Ja og nej.En: Søren took a deep breath and replied, "Yes and no.Da: Vi har forandret os, men det er godt.En: We have changed, but that's good.Da: Vi lærer fra vores forskelligheder."En: We learn from our differences."Da: De diskuterede deres forskelle, deres livsvalg og deres drømme.En: They discussed their differences, their life choices, and their dreams.Da: De så hinandens virkeligheder i øjnene, og med hvert ord blev de usynlige bånd mellem dem stærkere.En: They saw each other's realities in their eyes, and with each word, the invisible bonds between them grew stronger.Da: Diskussionen blev følelsesladet, men samtidig åbnede den døren til en dybere forståelse.En: The discussion became emotional, but at the same time, it opened the door to a deeper understanding.Da: Til sidst brød Klaus stilheden med en varm latter.En: Finally, Klaus broke the silence with a warm laugh.Da: "Livet er ikke altid let, men vi har hinanden," sagde han.En: "Life isn't always easy, but we have each other," he said.Da: Astrid nikkede, hendes blik fast og beslutsomt fastet på de to mænd, hun holdt af.En: Astrid nodded, her gaze steady and determined on the two men she cared for.Da: Søren følte roen sænke sig over ham.En: Søren felt a calm settle over him.Da: Han indså, at hans venner i Danmark udgjorde en væsentlig del af hans identitet.En: He realized that his friends in Danmark formed an essential part of his identity.Da: Deres bånd var stærke nok til at rumme forskelle og forandringer.En: Their bond was strong enough to accommodate differences and changes.Da: Som solen langsomt sænkede sig over parken, gik de tre gamle venner langsomt mod udgangen.En: As the sun slowly set over the park, the three old friends walked slowly towards the exit.Da: Selvom de var af forskellige veje, gik de derfra sammen, fast besluttede på at værne om deres venskab.En: Although they traveled different paths, they left together, firmly determined to cherish their friendship.Da: Søren følte sig endelig hjemme, forankret i nutiden, med glæde i hjertet og venner ved sin side.En: Søren finally felt at home, anchored in the present, with joy in his heart and friends by his side.

Story Transcript:No: En mild vårbris blåste gjennom den lille kystlandsbyen, der havet glitret under den bleke morgensolen.En: A mild spring breeze blew through the little coastal village, where the sea glittered under the pale morning sun.No: Blomstene i vinduskarmen på det lille, koselige kafeen spratt opp, og fylte luften med løfte om ny begynnelse.En: The flowers in the windowsill at the small, cozy kafeen popped up, filling the air with the promise of new beginnings.No: Inne i kafeen, som hadde utsikt mot den rolige fjorden, satt Astrid ved et lite bord nær vinduet.En: Inside the kafeen, which had a view of the calm fjord, Astrid sat at a small table near the window.No: Hun kikket ut over vannet, men tankene hennes var langt unna.En: She looked across the water, but her thoughts were far away.No: Det hadde vært flere år siden hun sist satt her.En: It had been several years since she last sat here.No: Reisen hennes til fjernere land hadde utvidet horisontene, men hjemlengselen hadde alltid ligget som en svak undertone i hjertet hennes.En: Her travels to distant lands had broadened her horizons, but the longing for home had always lingered as a faint undertone in her heart.No: Nå var hun tilbake, enda hun følte seg mer som en fremmed enn noen gang.En: Now she was back, yet she felt more like a stranger than ever.No: Plutselig hørte hun den velkjente lyden av dørklokken som ringte, og i neste øyeblikk trådte Leif inn.En: Suddenly, she heard the familiar sound of the doorbell ringing, and in the next moment, Leif stepped in.No: Han var lik seg selv, med sitt varme smil og krøllete lyse hår.En: He looked the same, with his warm smile and curly blonde hair.No: Han så seg rundt, fikk øye på Astrid, og vinket entusiastisk.En: He looked around, spotted Astrid, and waved enthusiastically.No: Hun vinket tilbake, et forsiktig smil lekte på leppene hennes.En: She waved back, a cautious smile playing on her lips.No: "Hei, Astrid!" sa han med sin vanlige, livlige tone og satte seg overfor henne.En: "Hi, Astrid!" he said in his usual, lively tone and sat down across from her.No: "Det er godt å se deg igjen."En: "It's good to see you again."No: Astrid nikket, til tross for klumpen i magen.En: Astrid nodded, despite the lump in her stomach.No: "Det er godt å se deg også, Leif," svarte hun.En: "It's good to see you too, Leif," she replied.No: Leif begynte snart å snakke om fiskebedriften, hvordan han hadde tatt over etter familien, og de nye utfordringene som fulgte med ansvaret.En: Leif soon began talking about the fishing business, how he had taken over after the family, and the new challenges that came with the responsibility.No: Astrid lyttet, men kjente avstanden mellom dem vokse for hvert ord.En: Astrid listened, but felt the distance between them grow with each word.No: Livet hans var så forskjellig nå, så fylt av ting hun ikke hadde opplevd.En: His life was so different now, so full of things she hadn't experienced.No: Frykten tok tak i henne.En: Fear gripped her.No: Hva om de to hadde blitt for fremmede?En: What if the two of them had become too much like strangers?No: Men hun bestemte seg, hun måtte si noe.En: But she decided, she had to say something.No: Med et forsiktig sukk, sa hun: "Leif, jeg vet ikke helt hvordan jeg skal si dette, men jeg føler meg... litt bortkommen.En: With a cautious sigh, she said, "Leif, I don't really know how to say this, but I feel... a bit lost.No: Jeg er redd for at alt har forandret seg så mye.En: I'm afraid everything has changed so much.No: Inkludert oss."En: Including us."No: Leif stoppet opp, stille et øyeblikk.En: Leif paused, quiet for a moment.No: Så smilte han varmt mot henne, en smil som alltid hadde fått henne til å føle seg hjemme.En: Then he smiled warmly at her, a smile that had always made her feel at home.No: "Astrid," sa han rolig, "livet forandrer seg, ja.En: "Astrid," he said calmly, "life changes, yes.No: Men jeg har ikke glemt hvor viktig vår vennskap er for meg.En: But I haven't forgotten how important our friendship is to me.No: Jeg ønsker å beholde det."En: I want to keep it."No: De ordene lettet en byrde fra Astrids skuldre.En: Those words lifted a burden from Astrid's shoulders.No: Hun innså at forandring ikke alltid brøt, men også kunne styrke, spesielt ekte vennskap.En: She realized that change didn't always break, but could also strengthen, especially true friendship.No: De ble enige om å møtes oftere, kanskje til neste uke å ta en tur langs fjorden.En: They agreed to meet more often, perhaps next week to take a walk along the fjord.No: Da de forlot kafeen side om side, følte Astrid lettelse.En: As they left the kafeen side by side, Astrid felt relieved.No: Hun visste nå at forbindelsen mellom dem var sterk nok til å tåle ethvert tidevann.En: She now knew that the bond between them was strong enough to withstand any tide.No: Våren vil bringe nye begynnelser.En: Spring will bring new beginnings.No: Og hun, hun var endelig hjemme.En: And she, she was finally home.

Rediscovery is part of collecting whether you plan for it or not.There are more lanes in this hobby than any one person can fully explore. Players. Eras. Sets. Parallels. Nostalgia. Upside. Community. Content. All of it pulls at you at the same time.That tension creates movement. But movement is not the same as alignment.In this episode, I break down what happens when you step away from a collecting lane and then find your way back. Why leaving does not mean the passion was never real. Why returning can feel different. And why second runs in collecting often bring more clarity than the first.I share my own experience with wrestling cards. The lane that brought me back into the hobby. The break I took. And what it feels like to return with a new perspective, new standards, and a stronger connection to what matters.This is not about nostalgia for the sake of it.This is about understanding what still belongs in your collection and why.If you have ever stepped away from something you loved in the hobby, this one will hit.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Freshwater shrimps are difficult to study. They're nocturnal, they live in leaf litter, and yet they are involved in both commercial fishing and the pet trade, making research on their diversity critical. Dr. Prakash Sanjeevi and Maclean Santos have a new strategy for adapting to these challenges: harnessing the power of community. Through educational videos, social media, workshops, and more they provide training to already-interested hobbyists, who in turn help them find rare specimens for papers like this one, in which they redescribe a species that hadn't been seen in Indian waters for 72 years. “I truly feel that it is not the talent which survives the long term in this research game, It is more of the hard work and it is more about how much you like the species because if you love a species, you will work really hard for the species” says Maclean. Listen in as we discuss the fascinating morphology, biology, and joy provided by these freshwater shrimps.Maclean Santos and Prakash Sanjeevi's paper “Rediscovery of the genus Atyopsis Chace, 1983 (Decapoda: Atyidae) in mainland India following a 72-year gap” is in volume 5722 of Zootaxa. It can be found here: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5722.4.7A transcript of this episode can be found here: Maclean Santos and Prakash Sanjeevi - TranscriptEpisode image credit: Maclean SantosRead their recent paper describing a new species from the same region: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5194.3.5Follow Maclean and Prakash on Instagram:Prakash: @sanjeeviprakash Maclean: @homeaquatMore pictures and information on GBIF: https://www.gbif.org/species/7839136Be sure to follow New Species on Bluesky (@newspeciespodcast.bsky.social) and Instagram (@NewSpeciesPodcast) and “like” the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast).Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom)If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.comIf you would like to support this podcast and enjoy bonus episodes, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPodIf you would like to make a one-time contribution to this podcast, you can do so at https://buymeacoffee.com/newspeciespod

Annyira eltávolodtunk."En: "I'm sorry... about the past years. We've drifted so far apart."Hu: Hangja megremegett, de állított az elhatározásán.En: His voice trembled, yet he was resolute in his determination.Hu: Réka egy lépést tett felé.En: Réka took a step towards him.Hu: "Nehéz volt mindnyájunknak, Bálint. Anyu betegsége és... azután minden."En: "It was hard for all of us, Bálint. Mom's illness and... everything after that."Hu: A csend ismét fojtogatóvá vált, de most más miatt.En: The silence became suffocating again, but for a different reason now.Hu: Réka folytatta: "Mindannyian hibásak vagyunk valahol. De szeretnék továbblépni."En: Réka continued: "We're all to blame in some way. But I want to move forward."Hu: A nap melege beáramlott a régi ablakrésen keresztül, aranyszínnel festve a padlót.En: The warmth of the sun streamed in through the old window gap, painting the floor with gold.Hu: Zsuzsa megszorította Bálint kezét.En: Zsuzsa squeezed Bálint's hand.Hu: "Még mindig testvérek vagyunk. Csak együtt találhatjuk meg a megnyugvást."En: "We're still siblings. We can only find peace together."Hu: Bálint lehunyta a szemét.En: Bálint closed his eyes.Hu: Érezte, ahogy a múlt terhei lassan oszlani kezdtek.En: He felt the burdens of the past slowly start to dissipate.Hu: Elhatározta, hogy elenged mindent, amitől eddig félt, így végül kimondta: "Próbáljuk meg.En: He decided to let go of everything he had feared up until now and finally said, "Let's try.Hu: Az ünnepeket töltsük együtt!En: Let's spend the holidays together!Hu: Hozhatnánk egy új kezdetet húsvétkor."En: We could have a new beginning at Easter."Hu: Mindhárman bólintottak, egy halovány mosollyal kísérve.En: All three nodded, accompanied by a faint smile.Hu: Az ablakon keresztül beszűrődő fény a remény jelképévé vált.En: The light filtering through the window became a symbol of hope.Hu: Együtt indulhattak el a raktárból, ahol a megfelelő szavak és új kezdetek talajt foghattak.En: Together, they could leave the warehouse, where the right words and new beginnings could take root.Hu: A kapcsolatuk talán még törékeny volt, de most már közös cél volt előttük: megbocsátani és újrakezdeni.En: Their relationship might still have been fragile, but they now had a common goal: to forgive and start anew.Hu: Húsvét vasárnapja egy közös étkezéssel kezdődött, amely talán az ő újrakezdésüké is volt.En: Easter Sunday began with a shared meal, which perhaps also marked their renewal.Hu: A boldog befejezés még váratta magát, de az első lépést megtették.En: The happy ending was still awaited, but the first step had been taken.

In a recent coaching session, Shelly shared her journey of grappling with shifting roles and the pressing question, "Who am I now?" This resonates with many women in transition, as life's changes often unravel our established identities. The path to rediscovering ourselves doesn't require an Eat, Pray, Love-type journey; instead, it's about embracing small, meaningful actions that gradually rebuild our identity and trust. Rediscovery is an ongoing process rooted in everyday exploration. Whether trying a new restaurant, journaling to capture your thoughts, or revisiting old hobbies, every choice strengthens your sense of self. In these small moments, you uncover who you truly are beyond the roles you've known. Embrace this season of transition as a space for growth and self-discovery. Preorder Sticky Habits book today!

#221 - A one-way ticket sounds romantic until you're standing in a foreign airport, exhausted, hungry, and convinced you've made a huge mistake. That's where Tracy Smith's story gets real and why it's so relatable. After a divorce, years of nonstop parenting, and a career grind that left little room to breathe, she finally chooses herself and discovers that freedom can feel like fear at first. We talk about what actually led to that first leap to Iceland and how one impulsive booking turned into a multi-country sprint through Iceland, Denmark, Norway, and Ireland. Tracy shares the messy details most people leave out: the panic of being lost, the running inner commentary, and the moment she realizes she has to stop asking whether she “deserves” to be there. From there, travel becomes a mirror for identity, especially as the empty nest edges closer and her work identity starts to wobble. You'll also hear how she travels “solo” in a practical way, planning logistics and often hiring private guides for deeper context, connection, and safety. And yes, we get into the monkey scratch in Bali, the rabies-shot scramble, and how being a mom stays in the back of her mind even while she's chasing adventure. Tracy's book, The Purpose of Getting Lost, ties it all together with the episode's biggest takeaway: permission is a skill you can practice.

In the episode I trace the history and origins of the astrological technique called midpoints back to two students of Placidus who lived in the 17th century, and then tell the story of its recovery and popularization by German astrologers in the early 20th century. For the past twenty years, the history of midpoints has been shrouded in mystery. Many astrologers have speculated about its origins, with myths tracing the technique back to the 13th-century astrologer Guido Bonatti, the 2nd-century astrologer Claudius Ptolemy, or assuming it was invented from scratch by Alfred Witte and the Hamburg School around the 1920s. After spending a while researching the history, I'm excited to present the conclusions I came to and help set the record straight. It turns out that the midpoint technique actually originated in 1675. That is when two students of the famous astrologer Placidus, named Francesco Brunacci and Francesco Maria Onorati, introduced the concept of what they called "equidistances" in an appendix to the second edition of their teacher's work, Physiomathematica. However, this technique almost didn't survive. Throughout the episode, I discuss how the midpoint doctrine went through two distinct periods of suppression: first by the Catholic Church and the Inquisition in the late 17th century, and later by the Nazis in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s. We follow the lineage of the technique from its near-erasure in Italy, to its survival via a subtle reference by the 17th-century astrologer Antonio Francesco de Bonattis (not to be mistaken for Guido Bonatti), and finally to its rediscovery by Albert Kniepf in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. From there, we explore how the technique was championed and popularized by Alfred Witte and the Hamburg School and Uranian Astrology, as well as by Reinhold Ebertin through his approach called Cosmobiology, eventually becoming a staple of late 20th-century astrology.

In this episode of Artifact Facts, we explore the fascinating story behind the Pilate Ring—an artifact that captured global attention when it was reexamined in 2018. Originally discovered in 1969 during excavations at Herodium led by Professor Gideon Foerster, the ring was set aside and largely forgotten for decades. But after being rediscovered, cleaned, and studied, its inscription sparked new conversations about its possible connection to Pontius Pilate. Join us as we uncover the history, significance, and implications of this intriguing find and what it could reveal about the world of the New Testament.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Meet Mohandas: experimenting, debating, and testing the ideas that would later define him as Mahatma. This conversation around The Dawn of Life, Prabhudas Gandhi's newly translated memoir, returns us to the ashram circles of South Africa, where Gandhi was still shaping the ideals that would one day define him. Translated into English for the first time by Hemang Ashwinkumar, recipient of the 2024–25 New India Foundation Translation Fellowship, the book revives a family archive both historical and deeply personal. Written by his young grandnephew who lived alongside him at Phoenix Settlement and Tolstoy Farm, the memoir offers an intimate portrait of shared labour and domestic routines, debates on diet and brahmacharya, experiments in simplicity, and the quiet discipline that shaped a philosophy. Here, Gandhi appears exacting yet tender, fallible yet searching, and alive in the small routines that forged his philosophy. In conversation with Nandini Nair of the New India Foundation, Hemang reflects on recovering overlooked histories and carrying a handwritten chronicle into the present; opening a rare window onto Gandhi in the making. The session will conclude with an audience Q&A. In collaboration with: The New India Foundation and Penguin In this episode of BIC Talks, Hemang Ashwinkumar is in a conversation with Nandini Nair.

New Yorker Jill Chalsty tried retiring in both South Carolina and Florida—without success. By the end of 2024, she was still recovering from a battle with cancer and grieving the loss of her husband. Looking for a fresh start, Jill decided to explore potential retirement destinations by embarking on an around-the-world cruise aboard Cunard's Queen Anne. The ship departed from Brooklyn in January 2025, visiting 26 ports across six continents over four months. After a long but rewarding journey, Jill came to an unexpected conclusion: the best place for her to retire was right where she had been all along—Manhattan. Find out more about Jill's search for a new place to call home on Episode 220 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. Link in bio.
