In this episode, I dig a bit deeper into the idea Sairan Aqrawi brought up in her interview: that we all have "hidden gems" within us, and that as we hit midlife, we have the opportunity to uncover them. My suggestions for you from this conversation are:Allow yourself time for reflectionExperiment and exploreBuild a supportive communityReframe your mindset about agingGive back or mentor othersTake care of your body and mindIf you're struggling to figure out your next step, reach out!

International Women's Day 2026 Celebration Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Joleen Loh, Curator, National Gallery Singapore to talk about their latest exhibit "Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise". The exhibition brings together over 45 major artworks and more than 110 rarely seen archival materials from five groundbreaking Southeast Asian women artists: Amanda Heng (Singapore), Dolorosa Sinaga (Indonesia), Imelda Cajipe Endaya (Philippines), Nirmala Dutt (Malaysia), and Phaptawan Suwannakudt (Thailand). Many of these works are being shown in Singapore for the first time. "Fear No Power" is the Gallery’s first comparative exhibition of women artists from across the region, a rare opportunity to see how each artist used art as a form of resistance, social engagement, and collective care. Through performance, sculpture, painting, and mixed media, these women challenged gender norms, confronted political realities, and reimagined the worlds they lived in. Joleen shares how the exhibition invites visitors to slow down, look closely, and uncover the layered meanings behind each work, from personal histories to national narratives. It’s a powerful reminder of how art can question, provoke, and ultimately reshape the way we see ourselves and our societies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if your burnout isn't a personal failure — it's a system doing exactly what it was designed to do? In this episode, Lauren unpacks how patriarchy and capitalism condition women to over-function, under-rest, and tie their worth to productivity. She explores what a matriarchal value system would actually look like — not female domination, but a world where care, community, and emotional intelligence are treated as foundations, not afterthoughts.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

What if the best opportunities in trucking don't require a traditional college degree? And what if the growing shortage of diesel mechanics is one of the biggest career openings in the transportation industry today? Today, we have Caleb Johnson from Coltrain Onsite Fleet Care to discuss how military veterans are transitioning into trucking, logistics, and diesel technician careers, bringing valuable hands-on experience that the industry needs! We also break down the skilled labor shortage in diesel mechanics and why it's creating major opportunities for new workers seeking stable, high-demand careers.  Caleb shares how mobile fleet maintenance and on-site truck repair are transforming the industry by reducing downtime and improving efficiency, with Coltrain achieving a 95% on-site repair success rate through skilled technicians and preventative maintenance strategies!   About Caleb Johnson Caleb Johnson didn't find his way into the trucking industry. He was born into it. Growing up, while his mother built her career in the industry, Caleb spent his earliest years with his mom in the shop coloring books and catching rides on tractors around the yard. The industry felt like a second family before he ever started turning wrenches. A U.S. Army veteran, Caleb launched his career in transportation through his military service, where he went on to serve as an instructor in an Observer Coach/Trainer (OCT) unit, training and validating Army teams and their vehicles before overseas deployment, ensuring they were mission-capable no matter the mission set. That background in preparation, accountability, and getting people ready to perform under pressure shapes how he leads to this day. With over 12 years of experience in fleet maintenance and mobile repair, Caleb has worked every level of this industry, from Lead Technician at Penske Truck Leasing to Mobile Technician Manager for the Gulf South Region at Dickinson Fleet Services/Cox Automotive, to General Manager roles at Fleet Mobile Maintenance and now Coltrain Onsite Fleet Care, where he leads the Central Gulf Region. In an industry that runs on trust, Caleb is the kind of operator people want in their corner, genuine, relational, and deeply invested in the people around him. At Coltrain Onsite Fleet Care, he's found a home that shares that same conviction, putting people first and delivering on the promise to defend the road with reliable maintenance and repair that keeps fleets moving safely and efficiently to their destinations.  

In this episode of On Rare: Innovators, hosts David Rintell, Head of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio, and Mandy Rohrig, Senior Director of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio, speak with Kat Bryant Knudson, Founder and CEO of the Speak Foundation and a leader in the limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) community. Diagnosed as a child after experiencing early symptoms of muscle breakdown, Kat spent years searching for answers before receiving a definitive genetic diagnosis. What began as a personal journey to understand her condition evolved into a lifelong commitment to ensuring that no one with LGMD faces that journey alone. From founding the Speak Foundation in an unexpected twist of fate to organizing groundbreaking scientific workshops that bring patients, researchers, industry, and the FDA to the same table, Kat has helped reshape how the LGMD community connects, advocates, and advances research. Guided by the belief that people with lived experience should have the loudest voice in the room, Kat continues to innovate on behalf of a diverse and growing rare disease community. Kat's story is a reminder that progress begins with connection, shared experience, and the courage to speak up. Pantene is a third-party trademark.

Do you ever feel like the only way to stand out online is to post more, be on more platforms, and keep up with every new trend? It's exhausting. And it's not the reason people remember you. In this episode, I'm sharing a different way to think about standing out in 2026. One that's less about volume and noise, and more about clarity, depth and trust. Because the businesses that stand out aren't the ones posting the most. They're the ones who are clear about what they stand for and show up consistently in a way that feels human. I talk about why creating more content can sometimes dilute your message, how to build recognisability without being everywhere, and why designing a content rhythm that actually works for your life and business is one of the most powerful things you can do. If content has started to feel heavy or complicated, this episode will help you come back to something simpler and more intentional. Key Takeaways Why creating more content can dilute your message instead of strengthening it. How going deeper with fewer ideas can help you build authority and connection. Why clarity matters more than chasing trends. How creating a sustainable content rhythm helps you build trust over time. Episode Breakdown 00:00 – Why standing out starts with clarity, not more content 02:35 – The hidden cost of constantly creating more 04:52 – Depth over volume: choosing ideas you want to be known for 07:05 – Reimagining one core idea across multiple pieces of content 08:02 – Moving away from trends and focusing on clarity 10:41 – Why being recognisable matters more than being everywhere 13:53 – Why trust matters more than the algorithm 17:12 – Designing a content rhythm that actually works for you 20:05 – Reflection questions and wrapping up If this conversation resonated with you, I'd love to invite you to my upcoming training Designing the Right Content Rhythm. It's where we explore how to create a sustainable rhythm for your content so you can show up consistently, build trust, and grow your business without feeling like you have to do all the things.   Links mentioned in this podcast Designing the Right Content Rhythm The Content Effect   If you enjoyed listening to this episode, then you'll also love: Episode 168 - Reimagine your content: How to do less and still make an impact Episode 10 – The power of reimagination   Ready to work with me?

What does it look like when biology leaps off the page and into the MakerSpace? Join 7/8 Grade Science teacher Carli Rivers as she discusses one of Harley's Middle School projects: building 10-foot-tall oversized plant and animal cells.   Instead of just labeling a diagram, Carli's students took to the MakerSpace to engineer life-sized models. Working in pairs to tackle specific parts of a cell, students had to collaborate, problem-solve, and build.   In this video, Carli shares: Why the process of building is as vital as the biological facts themselves. How the MakerSpace became an extension of the science lab. The impact of scale: Why exploring a 10-foot cell creates a memory that lasts longer than a textbook chapter.

On Episode 131 of The Dreaming of Disney, we're taking you inside the D23 25th Anniversary panel for Disney California Adventure and breaking down everything we learned  .From the 1995 Aspen retreat where Michael Eisner and Imagineers dreamed up a second gate… to the budget constraints that shaped the original park… to the mind-blowing logistics of filming Soarin' Over California… we're diving deep into how DCA was born.Then we shift into the reimagining era. How Buena Vista Street transformed the entrance. How Pixar Pier found its identity. The emotional, controversial switch from Tower of Terror to Guardians of the Galaxy. The genius behind Cars Land. And how World of Color almost didn't happen until Bob Iger asked one simple question: “When can we do this?”Plus, Audreyann shares why Guardians might just be better than Tower (yes, we said it), and we reflect on how Imagineers honored the past while building the DCA we love today.If you love park history, Imagineering stories, and behind-the-scenes Disney magic, this one's for you.

Question of Ethics: A Conversation on Courts and EthicsMarch 4th, 2026Courts stand at a crossroads between tradition andnecessity. On the one hand, we are guardians of legal boundaries, carefully distinguishing who may practice law and what constitutes legal advice. On the other hand, we are confronted with an undeniable reality: in many locationsaround our country, people with legal problems never reach the courthouse door, often because:DistanceThey live miles away from the courthouse or even any legal helpAffordabilityThey cannot afford to get the legal help they need RecognitionThey do not even see their problem as “legal” or the courthouse as a place that can help. As unmet legal needs grow, our community is asking courtsto do more, to do things differently, with fewer resources, and with fewer assumptions about how justice is accessed. These questions invite us to wrestle with uncomfortable issues. If non-attorney legal advocates are helping close critical legal gaps in selected areas around the country, is the currentlimitation on giving legal advice (Canon 1.7) still appropriate? Conversely, do some areas of law require stricter boundaries to protect the public?Can we continue to rely on courthouse-centered models, ormust courts extend their presence into the community in more sustained and meaningful ways? And as front-line staff increasingly become the first, and sometimes the only point of contact, how do we responsibly navigate that thin line between providing helpful information and giving permissible legal advice?Finally, this discussion challenges us to think about thefuture of the court's workforce itself. Expanding non-attorney legal advisors raises questions not only about service delivery, but about professional identity, training, liability, and career development within the courts.Are we prepared to redefine roles, invest in training newskills, and accept a more flexible vision of how we as court leaders serve the public? The answers to these questions may shape not just access to justice, but the very role of courts in the communities we serve.In this episode, we examine the expanding roles of non-attorney advocacy and community-based services. We look at the evolving role of court staff to meet people where they are. We ask the question can we reimagine access to justice? Today's PanelMaggie Humm Executive Director of the Alaska Legal Services Corporation in Anchorage.Sarah Carver Co-director of the Alaska Legal Services Corporation's Community Justice Workers Resource Center.Creadell Webb Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer for the 1st Judicial District Court, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,Liz Rambo Trial Court Administrator for the Lane County Circuit Court, in Eugene, Oregon  Access the episode by going to the NACM website podcast link: ⁠https://www.nacmnet.org/podcasts⁠Become part of the Conversation.

In this episode, Michael and Jim welcome Pavel “Flour” Dąbrowski, one of the brilliant minds in the Star Trek Adventures community, to discuss his innovative reimagining of the Extended Task mechanic. Pavel explains how adapting this system for personal and professional missions adds depth to character arcs—transforming what was once a mechanical hurdle into a storytelling engine that tracks growth, struggle, and success. From starship repairs to emotional breakthroughs, this conversation boldly explores how mechanics can serve narrative and enrich the role-playing experience.

Feeling stuck in survival mode as a Christian mom? In this episode, discover how God invites you to reimagine your life with hope, healing, and purpose—even when you cannot see the full picture yet. If you've been exhausted, discouraged, or unsure what's next, this conversation will help you begin imagining what renewal might look like in your real, everyday life. ✨ Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “I'm doing all the right things… so why does this still feel so hard?” You love your family. You're committed to your faith. You're showing up for work, ministry, and responsibilities every single day… …but deep down, something feels off. You're tired. You're stretched thin. And if you're honest, you may have quietly stopped hoping that life could feel any different than it does right now. In this final episode of the Rhythms of Renewal series on the Mom2Mom Mentoring Podcast, we're talking about something many high-achieving Christian moms struggle to name: You may not be lacking discipline. You may not be doing anything “wrong.” You may have simply stopped imagining that things could change.

Summary: What if work didn't have to feel exhausting, overwhelming, or misaligned with who you are? In this powerful episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sit down with executive coach and HR consultant Lindsey Barnett, author of Working Hell to Working Well, to explore how individuals and organizations can transform the workplace experience. In a world where burnout feels commonplace and "busy" has become a badge of honor, what if we paused long enough to ask: Does work have to feel this hard? Designing the Workplace of Tomorrow, Today In a recent episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lindsey Barnett—executive coach, HR consultant, and author of Working Hell to Working Well. Lindsey's journey from anthropology student to organizational change leader offers a fresh and deeply human lens on how we can transform our workplaces—and ourselves. As someone who often describes myself as a corporate anthropologist, I was delighted to discover Lindsey once used that same phrase. Her academic roots in anthropology and organizational behavior shaped her understanding that companies are, in many ways, small-scale societies. They have rituals, hierarchies, insiders and outsiders, power dynamics, and shared myths. When conflict arises at work, it is rarely just about tasks—it's about people navigating culture. Lindsey Barnett was Finding Her Through Line Lindsey's path was anything but linear. She began studying archaeology, fascinated by the lives of people long gone. But as research leaders increasingly asked her to help with team dynamics, she realized her gifts were better used with the living. She moved into advertising, then human resources, always following a deeper curiosity about human behavior. Later, when her family relocated to Australia, she experienced a powerful shift. As a working mother who suddenly was not working, she confronted a loss of identity. That moment became pivotal. Through reflection, Lindsey identified what she calls her "Three I's"—the core needs she must meet to feel fulfilled in her work: Intellectual challenge Impact Interaction Once she named them, she saw that these needs could be met in multiple ways. Writing children's books, forming a writers' group, and returning to organizational development were not disconnected moves. They were creative responses to those core needs. There is a powerful lesson here: when you understand what truly energizes you, your options expand dramatically. The Workplace Stalemate In Working Hell to Working Well, Lindsey addresses a tension many of us recognize. Leaders often say, "You are responsible for your own wellbeing." Employees respond, "How can I manage my wellbeing when expectations and workloads are out of control?" The result? A stalemate. Lindsey's approach is pragmatic. Don't wait for the other side to change. Start with what you can control. Model healthier behaviors. Create safety through example. When leaders visibly leave work to attend a child's event—or even "leave loudly," as one leader she interviewed described—something shifts. Turning off the lights, closing the laptop, and saying goodbye intentionally signals permission. Culture changes through what is normalized. The Three P's: A Practical Framework for Working Well For those who want tools, Lindsey offers a memorable framework: Planning, Pacing, and Playing. Planning doesn't require a 30-page strategy document. It can be as simple as choosing one intentional action—like buying a larger water bottle to improve hydration. Small commitments, consistently executed, compound into meaningful change. Pacing involves awareness. Are you rushing blindly toward tasks? Are you collaborating across silos or duplicating effort? Slowing down just enough to ask better questions can unlock faster progress. Playing introduces experimentation and curiosity. Whether you call it "play" or a "pilot project," approaching change with a spirit of experimentation reduces fear of failure. Play fuels innovation. These aren't abstract concepts. They are immediately actionable. Charging Your Energy Battery Beyond productivity, Lindsey speaks about energy. Traditional advice focuses on sleep, diet, and exercise. While important, she expands the conversation into three types of energy that recharge us: Creative Energy: Designing, building, imagining. Creativity restores vitality. Connection Energy: Relationships, purpose, time in nature, or alignment with mission. Completion Energy: Finishing something—even something small. Making the bed or folding laundry can provide a tangible sense of accomplishment that renews motivation. During the pandemic, some executives criticized employees for doing laundry at home. Lindsey reframes this. Completion energy matters. Small wins sustain momentum. As anthropologists of work, we must ask: what assumptions are we carrying about productivity that no longer serve us? The Power of the Pause When asked to share her top advice, Lindsey emphasized one simple but profound practice: pause. In a culture obsessed with output, pausing can feel counterintuitive. Yet it is in the pause that we ask: Do I need to be doing this? Is there a better way? What does my body need right now? Who else should be involved? The pause creates space for intention. And intention drives sustainable change. Role Modeling Change Culture does not shift because of policies alone. It shifts because people see others behaving differently and feel safe to do the same. Whether it's taking a midday walk, setting boundaries around meetings, or openly prioritizing family, visible modeling invites replication. As Lindsey shared, we don't have to wait for permission to begin. From Observation to Innovation What I appreciate most about Lindsey's work is its grounded optimism. She does not deny that workplaces can feel like "working hell." But she believes transformation is possible—through small actions, mindful energy management, and courageous modeling. As you reflect on your own work life, consider: What are your core needs? Where could you plan one small shift? What might you pace differently? How could you introduce more play? And perhaps most importantly: when will you pause? If we are willing to observe our own habits with anthropological curiosity, we can turn those observations into innovations. That is how we move—from working hell to working well. To learn more about Lindsey Barnett and her book, visit your favorite bookseller or connect with her on LinkedIn.

Kamini Wood reframes boundaries not as power moves or rigid ultimatums, but as essential information for sustainable living. She addresses why high achievers, perfectionists, and "fawners" often find traditional boundary advice—like "just say no"—to be terrifying and destabilizing for their nervous systems. Kamini explores the deep-seated fears of conflict, abandonment, and rejection that make direct communication feel like a risk to one's safety and belonging. Rather than "armoring up" with harshness, listeners are encouraged to practice "gentle boundaries"—time-based, access-based, and energy-based shifts that build consistency and self-trust without requiring dramatic confrontation. By moving from performance to authentic protection, you can learn to honor your limits while maintaining the connections that matter most.

Imagine if Bruce Wayne had no money, if Superman grew up on Krypton and came to Earth with emotional scars, or if Wonder Woman had been raised in Hell. Welcome to the Absolute Universe – a dark parallel universe created by DC Comics in 2024. The idea of a parallel universe is not new to comic books, but what is surprising has been the success of the Absolute Universe. Some of the Absolute versions of superheroes have been outselling the comics that take place in DC's mainline universe. I talk with Executive Editor Chris Conroy and Group Editor Katie Kubert about how they've overseen the team of artists and writers at DC crafting this dark universe with thematic parallels to our own world. And I talk with writer Kelly Thompson about how she came up with Absolute Wonder Woman and why the comic is resonating with so many fans. This episode is sponsored by Surfshark.

Send a textWhat if the case notes from your clinic could forecast tomorrow's outbreak? We sit down with epidemiologist Dr. Lauren Grant to unpack a One Health vision that connects veterinary, human, and environmental data so we can spot risks sooner, act faster, and guide smarter decisions in practice.We start by clarifying what “integrated companion animal health surveillance” really means and why Canada needs it. Today's networks rely on selective reporting and expert panels, which are invaluable but miss the power of routine primary care records at scale. Lauren explains how systems like the UK's VETCOMPASS and SAVSNET turn everyday consultations into population-level insight, building baselines and detecting anomalies that trigger timely investigation. The payoff is concrete: regional trend context to refine differentials, better testing choices, targeted client advice, and earlier alerts for zoonotic and reverse zoonotic threats.The conversation gets real about barriers to data sharing: policy constraints, privacy, commercial concerns, and a cultural gap where clinicians don't always see their notes as public health assets. We explore practical solutions—clear governance, de-identified pipelines, minimal viable data fields, and feedback loops that return value to contributing practices through dashboards and timely briefs. Lauren walks through a compelling example from the UK where an unusual spike in canine vomiting was picked up, investigated, and traced to a canine enteric coronavirus, illustrating how strong baselines and near real-time data can change outcomes.If you're a veterinarian, public health professional, or data-minded pet owner, this is a roadmap for making companion animals true sentinels of community health. Learn how a Canadian system could start with dogs and cats, build interoperability and trust, and ultimately help both pets and people.

Is regulation slowing down affordable EVs and can iconic small cars help fix it?! In this episode of the Everything Electric Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Fabrice Cambolive, CEO of the Renault brand and Chief Growth Officer, at Renault's Techno Centre outside Paris. They discuss what it will really take to make electric vehicles affordable in Europe; from the rebirth of the Renault Twingo to the regulatory changes shaping the industry. Fabrice reveals that 25% of Renault's engineering capacity is currently focused on navigating shifting European regulations, arguing that greater stability (without compromising safety) would allow manufacturers to concentrate on lowering costs for consumers. The conversation also explores the proposed M1E category for compact EVs under 4.2 metres, potentially Europe's answer to Japan's kei cars, and why Renault has decided to continue pursuing hybrids alongside fully electric models. Finally, Fabrice explains why bringing back icons like the Renault 5, Renault 4, and Twingo is about more than nostalgia and is all about trust, loyalty, and long-term value in an increasingly competitive market (ergo.

Are mammograms truly protecting women — or is it time to rethink how we approach breast health? In this powerful and deeply nuanced conversation, Dr. Anna Cabeca sits down with former fellowship-trained breast surgeon turned integrative oncologist Dr. Jenn Simmons to unpack one of the most important questions in women's health today: Are mammograms safe — and are they enough? Together, they explore how conventional breast cancer screening became the standard, what the research actually says about radiation exposure and screening frequency, and why early detection is not the same as prevention. Dr. Simmons shares her personal turning point — from 17 years at the forefront of breast oncology to leaving conventional medicine and founding Real Health MD after her own health crisis. What she discovered changed everything: inflammation, toxicity, hormone disruption, and metabolic dysfunction matter far more than women are being told. This episode goes beyond mammograms. It dives into: • Radiation risks and over-screening • Alternative imaging options including thermography, ultrasound, and emerging technologies • Hormones and breast cancer — clearing the misinformation • Why anti-estrogen messaging can be harmful and incomplete • Bioidentical progesterone and protective mechanisms • Birth control pills and breast development risk • The power of metabolic health, fasting windows, detoxification, and terrain theory Most importantly, this conversation restores agency. You are not powerless when it comes to breast health. Knowledge is evolving. Screening is evolving. Hormone science is evolving. And you deserve the full picture. –––––––––––––––––– KEY TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Reimagining breast health and questioning the narrative 01:23 Introducing Dr. Jenn Simmons and her paradigm shift 09:47 From breast surgeon to integrative oncologist: her turning point 12:28 Functional medicine approach: "What caused the cancer?" 27:19 Mammography myths and reviewing the research 33:01 Radiation exposure: known carcinogen discussion 35:31 Biopsy concerns and imaging alternatives 42:07 Medical board pressures and guideline rigidity 53:04 "Anti-estrogen talk is misogynistic" 01:04:10 Birth control pills, teens, and breast cancer risk –––––––––––––––––– MEMORABLE QUOTES Dr. Jenn Simmons: "Radiation is a known carcinogen."
