What happens when bright, capable students seem completely unmotivated about their future? Dr. Ellen Braaten, author of Bright Kids Who Couldn't Care Less  joins us to unpack this phenomenon that can leave you feeling frustrated and worried. We talked about motivation - how it's not just about "trying harder" but rather a delicate interplay between initiation (the spark), persistence (the ability to continue), and intensity (the fuel that sustains effort).Dr. Braaten shared a framework for understanding what truly motivates young adults by examining the intersection of their aptitudes (natural abilities), pleasures (what they enjoy), and practice (what they willingly spend time doing).  Whether your student is currently struggling with motivation or you're planning ahead for their transition to college, this conversation offers invaluable insights for supporting their authentic development.Thank you for listening!

Send us a textMany times when we hear or read the phrase soul mate, we think of it in a very romantic way. But, soul mate relationships can be platonic. They can be found in friendships that love us down and encourage us to be our full selves. And, in this Dem Bois Podcast first, I sit down with Kelz and we discuss what that term actually means. In this conversation, we dive into critical analysis, identity, and the significance of friendship and community. And, Kelz emphasizes the importance of visibility in queer narratives and the personal nature of identity language.

My guest is James Sexton, Esq., a renowned attorney specializing in contracts related to love and money—prenuptial agreements, divorce and custody. We explore the counterintuitive fact that people with prenuptial agreements tend to stay married longer and report more satisfying relationships than those who don't. We discuss how legal contracts can foster deeper understanding by encouraging vulnerability and honest communication about each partner's values and expectations. We also examine what defines true, lasting love versus generic romantic ideals—and how social media can distort our understanding of what we truly need. Additionally, we review how cultural traditions, gender dynamics, courtship length, and age at the time of marriage shape marital outcomes. This episode offers practical tools for anyone—single or partnered—to build more successful and stable relationships through deeply honest dialogue and contracts that reflect genuine values around love and money.

porcelæn.En: The intense aroma of freshly ground coffee floated in the air, mingling with the sound of muted voices and clinking porcelain.Da: Mikkel sad alene ved et hjørnebord.En: Mikkel sat alone at a corner table.Da: Han var en stille og eftertænksom grafisk designer, som ofte fandt tilflugt i sin egen verden af farver og former.En: He was a quiet and contemplative graphic designer who often found refuge in his own world of colors and shapes.Da: Men denne dag var anderledes.En: But this day was different.Da: Han kiggede op og så en velkendt skikkelse træde ind ad døren.En: He looked up and saw a familiar figure stepping through the door.Da: Sanne, rejseskribenten med den livlige sjæl og uendelige nysgerrighed, trådte selvsikkert ind i rummet.En: Sanne, the travel writer with the lively spirit and endless curiosity, confidently entered the room.Da: Mikkel glemte et øjeblik alt omkring sig.En: Mikkel momentarily forgot everything around him.Da: De havde mistet kontakten efter en periode med misforståelser og travlhed, som livet nogle gange bringer med sig.En: They had lost touch after a period of misunderstandings and busyness, as life sometimes brings.Da: Sanne fik øje på ham og vinkede med et smil.En: Sanne spotted him and waved with a smile.Da: Hendes smil var varmt, som om ingen tid var gået.En: Her smile was warm, as if no time had passed.Da: Mikkel følte en

met in a light embrace.Da: "Det er længe siden, Mikkel," sagde Sanne med et glimt i øjet.En: "It's been a long time, Mikkel," Sanne said with a twinkle in her eye.Da: "Alt for længe," svarede Mikkel

om livet, rejser og de mange projekter, de begge havde kastet sig ud i.En: They talked about life, travels, and the many projects they had both embarked on.Da: Mikkel vidste, at hvis han nogensinde

hesitantly, "have you ever thought about our old idea of doing a project together?Da: Jeg ved, vi har haft vores forskelle, men jeg har virkelig savnet det, vi havde.En: I know we've had our differences, but I've really missed what we had."Da: "Sanne så overrasket på ham, men hendes udtryk blødte hurtigt.En: Sanne looked surprised at him, but her expression quickly softened.Da: "Jeg har faktisk tænkt på dig og vores planer," indrømmede hun.En: "I have actually thought about you and our plans," she admitted.Da: "Jeg har savnet vores samarbejde.En: "I've missed our collaboration."Da: "Mikkel kunne næsten ikke tro sine ører.En: Mikkel could hardly believe his ears.Da: Hans tøven blev skyllet væk af lettelse og glæde.En: His hesitation was washed away by relief and joy.Da: De

deres projekt over kaffe her i roasteriet.En: They agreed to meet regularly to brainstorm their project over coffee here in the roastery.Da: Som solen krøb langsomt ned mod horisonten og erstattede lyset med en blid skumring, følte Mikkel sig forandret.En: As the sun slowly crept down towards the horizon, replacing the light with a gentle twilight, Mikkel felt transformed.Da: Han havde vovet at være åben og ærlig, og det havde givet pote.En: He had dared to be open and honest, and it had paid off.Da: En gammel forbindelse var blevet genoprettet, og en ny begyndelse tog form.En: An old connection had been restored, and a new beginning was taking shape.Da: De blev de sidste tilbage i roasteriet, klingende kaffekopper og svage stemmer smeltede sammen med aftenens stilhed.En: They were the last ones left in the roastery, the clinking coffee cups and faint voices blending with the evening's silence.Da: Mikkel og Sanne rejste sig til sidst og begav sig ud i den friske forårsluft, begge fyldt med forventning og en genoplivet venskab.En: Mikkel and Sanne finally stood up and stepped out into the fresh spring air, both filled with expectation and a renewed friendship.

Luka finally asked.Sr: Стефан је био разапет.En: Stefan was torn.Sr: "Не знам," удише дубоко, "ово место... овај град, пуни су наших успомена."En: "I don't know," he took a deep breath, "this place... this city, they are full of our memories."Sr: "Знам," рече Лука, "али понекад морамо ићи напред, направити нове успомене."En: "I know," said Luka, "but sometimes we need to move forward and create new memories."Sr: Шетали су кроз парк, пролазили поред старих зидина и пролазили поред туриста који су се окупљали да уживају у лепоти природе.En: They walked through the park, passing by old walls and tourists who gathered to enjoy the beauty of nature.Sr: Лука настави да објашњава планове за нови посао, а Стефан је слушао с пажњом.En: Luka continued to explain his plans for the new job, and Stefan listened attentively.Sr: "Ово може бити мој последњи Васкрс овде," рече Лука тихо, готово жалећи што више неће долазити овде кад се све мења.En: "This might be my last Easter here," Luka said quietly, almost regretting that he wouldn't be coming back here as things change.Sr: Стефан осети сузе у очима, али истовремено је осетио и снагу.En: Stefan felt tears in his eyes, but at the same time, he felt strength.Sr: "Важно је да пратимо своје снове," рече он напослетку.En: "It's important to follow our dreams," he finally said.Sr: "Наше пријатељство је важно, и прећи ће све километре."En: "Our friendship is important, and it will transcend all miles."Sr: Испрва тешка, њихова одлука посташа јасна.En: What was initially a difficult decision became clear.Sr: Припремили су се да прихвате промену.En: They prepared to embrace change.Sr: Обећали су да ће остати у контакту без обзира на удаљеност.En: They promised to stay in touch regardless of the distance.Sr: Док су напуштали парк, Стефан помисли да, иако живот води новим путевима, увек постоје мостови који повезују срца.En: As they left the park, Stefan thought that, although life leads to new paths, there are always bridges that connect hearts.Sr: Тиме су одвојили путеве, али не и пријатељство.En: With that, they parted ways, but not their friendship.Sr: Још једном је Стефан погледао своју колевку успомена и видео је у новом светлу — сада обогаћену снажнијом вером у пријатељство и промене.En: Once more, Stefan looked at his cradle of memories and saw it in a new light — now enriched by a stronger faith in friendship and change.

“Culturally, it's so important because a lot of experiences are just the same all over the world. Hotels, theaters, cinemas, music—it's so mainstream today that we all consume pretty much the same thing. But culinary-wise, there's still this chance to create and cook something that's so local on the level of experience that you can really understand and feel the landscape, the seasons, the culture, and the history of the country. So I'm super happy to be in that field because I think we're one of the last kinds of handcrafts that are still very present in the city.”We're in great company with Niklas Ekstedt, the Swedish Chef famously known around the world for reigniting the ancient way of cooking over fire in Scandinavia at his restaurant Ekstedt in Stockholm, where he has been recognized by The Best Chef Awards and a recipient of a Michelin Star. After an acclaimed culinary career as a young chef, Niklas found himself returning to his roots, curiously unearthing forgotten techniques and a sophisticated Scandinavian culinary heritage that challenged the Mediterranean supremacy he felt ready to challenge. What may have started as a small spark in his fire-forged restaurant ultimately created a movement where ancient methods meet modern gastronomy.In this episode, Niklas warmly welcomes us to savor a taste of this nearly lost artform, sparking our curiosity about what other ancient rituals we should unearth and giving us the courage to begin our own adventures. Top Takeaways[2:50] Amid the forests of northern Sweden, young Niklas's tastes were shaped by Sámi playmates, parents who embraced nature's bounty, and wilderness that would one day call him back to cooking by fire.[5:05] From his rural roots to culinary stardom, Niklas traveled through Chicago kitchens, befriended René Redzepi in Copenhagen, trained at legendary elBulli, then returned to Sweden where, barely into his twenties, he opened his first restaurant and was met with celebrity chef status…that is before he discovered his true flame.[9:30] In a secluded island kitchen outside Stockholm, Niklas found himself captivated by primitive cooking methods, discovering a forgotten Nordic culinary sophistication that would become the foundation of his revolutionary fire-forged restaurant.[16:05] Stepping into Ekstedt, guests embark on a primal sensory journey where crackling flames illuminate the darkness, birchwood smoke perfumes the air, and the kitchen's ancient fire elements transform seasonal Nordic ingredients into dishes that evoke both a forgotten past and an innovative future, creating an experience that transcends mere dining to become a connection with Sweden's culinary heritage.[25:20] Niklas continues to foster community through Tyge & Sessil, an intimate space celebrating hidden gem natural wines, and Hillenberg, a neighborhood brasserie where humble Scandinavian cooking creates an accessible entry point to his Nordic culinary philosophy. [28:00] See Stockholm through Niklas's eyes—travel metro stations turned art installations, discover museum treasures without spending a krona, go island hopping by boat, and embrace the Swedish “Allemansrätten” right to roam.Notable Mentions Charlie Trotter's in ChicagoNorwegian explorer & writer, Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki expeditionSkepparholmen Nacka outside Stockholm“Kardemummabullar” traditional Swedish Cardamom Buns for a daily “Fika” Alice Waters, pioneer of the “farm-to-table” movement in AmericaA Taste From AfarCookbooks by Niklas EkstedtEkstedt: The Nordic Art of Analogue Cooking Food from the FireScandinavian ClassicsHappy FoodVisit For YourselfEkstedt Website | @ekstedtrestaurant | @niklasekstedt

Creating ancestral skills communities is central to rewilding. We need people sharing skills together, we need people tending land together. These communities don't form over night. It takes time to build them. I spoke with Lucy O'Hagan in February of 2020, in one of my first episodes of the Rewilding Podcast. Now it's February of 2025 and a lot has changed in the last five years. Their community has grown, our friendship has deepened, and I continue to be deeply inspired by their work. Last August I traveled to Ireland to attend the first ancestral skills gathering on the island, facilitated by Lucy through their organization, Wild Awake Ireland. It was a life-changing experience for me, which was something I really didn't expect. If you haven't listened to our first podcast together, I would recommend going back and listening to it before you listen to this one. In this episode, I hope to pick up the conversation from where we left off five years ago, ask Lucy to share insights from the last five years of building a rewilding community in Ireland, and share my own stories of visiting Ireland.NOTES:The Rewilding Podcast, Episode 4: Complex Contexts w/ Lucy O'HaganWild Awake IrelandLanguage Movement: an dream deargThirty-Two Words for Field: Lost Words of the Irish LandscapeWisdom Sits in PlacesSupport the show

I'm headed to the United Kingdom, specifically Wales, to watch a Wrexham football match. Wrexham is in the European Football League, which we Americans call soccer, and it's been incredibly exciting. I don't know if you've seen the Netflix documentary by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, but they bought this team, and it's been amazing to watch them evolve and earn promotions. They've been doing really well, and it's a blast to cheer them on. I wouldn't have discovered Wrexham or its strong sense of community if not for my good friends, Jenn  and Cass. They live on the West Coast, and we've known each other for over 28 years. I haven't seen them in person since before COVID, which is more than five years ago.  What I love about this Wrexham excitement is how it has reconnected us in a meaningful way. We've always been friends and supported each other, but this shared interest reignited and deepened our bond. So for today's Wise Walk, let's slow down, check our reality, and ask ourselves these questions. What relationship in your life do you want to rekindle, reconnect, or reinvigorate? What shared interests might you bring in to energize it? How can you approach it differently and find new common ground? Could setting aside time for consistent reunions, virtual or in person, help? How can you reinvigorate meaningful relationships that have faded due to time, distance, or busyness? What steps can you take to refocus them in your life? Is there someone in your life that you would love to share one of your passions with? Do you think of a person often, still talk on the phone, and stay connected, but feel that life has evolved? What new interest could you find to bond over and elevate your conversations? How can you get energized and find reasons to show up and do things together, either in person or virtually? How can you grow together and show up for each other in this rekindled connection? How can you support each other as you reestablish and strengthen your friendship? What steps can you take to ensure your rekindled connection keeps getting better over time? Is there a relationship in your life that maintains deep connections across time, distance, and space? Have you expressed to that person how important your connection is to you? Have you let them know you appreciate being in this together and look forward to evolving together? Are you open to finding new shared interests to strengthen your bond? Do you make an effort to learn about what's happening in their life beyond your shared interests? How can you show up and pay more attention to deepen your connection? What is the rhythm of your relationships and how can you honor that rhythm to keep them alive? Are you in a relationship where you can naturally ebb and flow, calling and catching up as you can? Do you need to be more scheduled and intentional about securing time to nurture your relationship? Can you plan a joint activity that you both look forward to, whether it's local or abroad? How can you maintain consistent touchpoints while also planning special events to cherish together? What steps can you take to create a balance between regular communication and memorable shared experiences? As we wrap up, remember to stay curious and open-minded in your relationships. Embrace new opportunities for joy and fun, allowing your connections to evolve while fostering personal growth.    Keep the spirit of friendship alive, whether you're cheering for your favorite team or embarking on your own adventures. Until our next Wise Walk, tune in every Thursday for a new episode.    In this episode: [03:46] A quick recap of my relationships with Jenn and Cass. [05:13] We've reunited because of our shared interest in football. [06:02] It's so nice to know that you can rekindle a relationship and that passion you share spans time and distance. [07:51] I'm in Northern Florida and Jenn and Cass are in Northern California. We're 3,000 miles apart and Wales is across the pond. [08:30] Technology has a beautiful way of bringing us all together. [10:59] I'm excited about the match and a reunion with Jenn. Unfortunately, Cass isn't going to be able to make the trip.  [11:31] We are open to appreciating the friends we have, and expanding and growing our circles. [14:14] It's important to be open and curious in relationships.   Memorable Quotes: “When you have a relationship with those deep roots, and even if life has evolved and things have changed, it's so easy to reestablish that connection with just a little bit of spark.” - Mary Tess “It's beautiful when you can figure out what is the rhythm of the relationships and how can you keep them alive honoring that rhythm.” - Mary Tess “We are at a phase in life where we are appreciating the friends we have. And then we're also growing in relationships with individuals that share common interests.” - Mary Tess   Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Heart Value  

"Make new friends, but keep the old" is a saying that means it's important to continue nurturing, or even rekindling, existing friendships while also seeking out new connections in life.This is especially important advice for widows, as we find ourselves alone again after years of being with our partner. Our friendships and relationships can change. So the value of older friendships becomes more important than ever before.In this episode, we hear stories of lasting friendship from different widows and how their lives have changed and grown since the loss of their spouse. Rekindling old friendships - this is one of the strategies covered in the Overcoming Loneliness Workbook.

America’s healthcare system isn’t broken—it’s working exactly as designed. The problem is that it was designed to generate profits, not health outcomes. We spend roughly 20% of our GDP on healthcare, about double what other developed nations spend per capita, yet we have shorter life expectancy, higher infant mortality rates, and leave tens of millions uninsured or underinsured. Medicare for All is the obvious and attainable solution but it has fallen out of mainstream conversation since Biden bested Bernie for the 2020 nomination. Rekindling this spark is vital and should be one of the primary non-negotiables of the Left movement.
