This is a conversation about radical acceptance, surviving in a noisy world, and finding love without fixing yourself first.If you loved the emotional intensity of hockey romances but want celebrity PR chaos instead, this one's for you.⏱️ Timestamps[00:00] Welcoming Cat back + what she's been up to[00:01] Inside Star Shipped — enemies-to-lovers on a sci-fi set[00:02] The Gene Roddenberry letter that inspired the book[00:04] Taking the risk from historical to contemporary[00:06] Researching fandom vs. TV industry details[00:08] Writing invisible disability & high-functioning anxiety[00:12] No “pink cloud” healing — why incremental growth matters[00:16] Radical acceptance in romance[00:18] Romance recommendations with buttoned-up/chaos pairings[00:23] Where to find Cat + newsletter over social media

When a single virus can wipe out computers worldwide in 24 hours, who picks up the pieces?

Perusing newspapers more than a century old is as much fun as it is enlightening.

Researching this sound and the U'wa people gave me an opportunity to scratch the surface of their deeply complex seasonal customs, involving dance, storytelling and performance. Ann Osborn (the sound recordist) documents this in her study "The Four Seasons of the U'wa: A Chibcha Ritual Ecology in the Colombian Andes".What I learned inspired me to tell a new story. In this piece you hear about Ray Collective, a dance group who couldn't be more culturally, temporally or geographically removed from the U'wa, but for whom performative seasonal ritual is the connective tissue. Looking back on it, I can see how this piece subconsciously reflected my wrangling with the ethics of this project and concerns I had around cultural appropriation. It's interesting that even in Ray Collective, where members are drawing from and reworking a shared UK-based cultural/folk heritage, similar themes about what constitutes respectful reinterpretation and what is fair to use or repurpose came up a lot. It got me thinking about themes like rightfulness, ownership, permission and agency - and more specifically, how female and non-binary people relate to these within the context of a British cultural heritage that has for the most part, precluded their meaningful involvement. This may sound heady in retrospect, but ultimately, I set out to make peace that was fun, and in which the listener would get a sense of the real and present joy experienced within Ray Collective. I can see why it might feel problematic that I'm in any way drawing a line between the complex mythos of the U'wa culture and a group of women mucking about in Bournemouth, but my intent was purely to focus on commonality - the need to gather, dance and create rituals in harmony with the rhythm of the seasons. All of the instruments/sounds you are hearing in this piece have been created by sampling recordings from Ray collective sessions (usually people singing the word Sun) and mixing them with the U'wa sound (which from my research, I believe is a conch shell signalling the beginning of a ritual performance). I've never used this sampling technique, nor really made bits of bed music for a piece before, and it was a really tough but rewarding process. The voice you hear speaking is Lizzie Maries, founder of Ray collective. I cut so much nuanced and insightful discussion from our interview and hope she'll forgive me. I should also credit both Lorna Rees who composed the 'Singing for Sun' refrain that crops up a lot, and Billy Nomates, Ray Collective's composer- you hear a rough sample of her song at the close of this piece. And of course, all the wonderful Rays for humouring me and my recorder. U'wa drones reimagined by Laura Irving.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

“Urgency is a sensation before it is a decision.” Topics Discussed How overdoing is driven by time pressure, not motivation The nervous system pattern underneath fertility burnout Why urgency feels responsible even when it is dysregulating The illusion of being behind and how it speeds up the body Stillness as a threat when worthiness is tied to action Noticing sensations instead of fighting stories Why slowing down is not indulgent on a fertility journey “Movement feels like progress even when nothing is actually changing.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… This episode is for the woman who cannot seem to stop doing. Reading. Researching. Optimizing. Fixing. The one who tells herself she will rest once this works. The one whose body feels like it is constantly racing an invisible clock. And somehow, slowing down feels irresponsible. We are not talking about ambition here. We are talking about urgency. The kind that comes from the story that you are behind. That you should have started earlier. That age is the most important factor. That time is running out. And when that story takes over, the nervous system speeds up, the breath shortens, and overdoing feels like the only option. This episode is not about stopping or fixing anything. It is about noticing what happens in your body when the rush appears. Because when urgency stops running the show, something very different becomes possible. And next week, we go even deeper into why overdoing is often an avoidance of stillness itself. Timestamps 01:25 Why overdoing did not start with fertility 02:23 Time pressure and the illusion of being behind 03:48 Movement that feels like progress but is not 04:17 Urgency as a body sensation, not a truth 05:46 What your future child will actually thank you for Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/Overdoing,%20Urgency%20&%20the%20Illusion%20of%20Running%20Out%20of%20Time%20During%20Infertility%20&%20IVF Let's Do This Together

Former CIA analyst and bestselling spy novelist David McCloskey returns to Spymasters to talk to Antonia Senior about his new thriller The Persian — a razor-sharp spy story set inside the Israel–Iran shadow war. We discuss how real-world covert operations (from sabotage to targeted assassinations) have shaped modern espionage, and how spy fiction can capture the human cost of clandestine conflict: fear, tradecraft, loyalty, identity, and moral compromise. McCloskey breaks down how he researches intelligence operations using open-source reporting and conversations with former practitioners — and why he chose to write a spy novel with no Americans at the center of the story. We also explore the culture and risk tolerance differences between intelligence services, the evolution of surveillance and remote warfare, and the perennial question: should writers “stay in their lane,” or is imagining other lives the whole point of fiction?

Have you ever found yourself loving the work of therapy, but feeling frustrated by systems that make it difficult for your clients to receive the help they need? Dana reached that crossroads and made a brave, intentional leap toward a practice that supports both her clinical values and her personal well-being. In this podcast episode, Dana and I talk about her path into psychotherapy, and what it looked like to slowly and thoughtfully transition from hospital work into full-time private practice.  We also dive into learning SEO as a solo practitioner, using AI without losing your human voice, and why giving your practice time to grow organically can be a powerful choice. There's so much practical wisdom in this conversation, and I'm excited for you to listen in! MEET DANA Dana is an occupational therapist who practices psychotherapy and the owner of Cedar Tree Therapy, a private practice in Whitby, Ontario. With close to a decade of mental health experience, Dana sees individuals with anxiety, eating disorders, and OCD. Learn more about Dana on her private practice website and Psychology Today profile.  In this episode:  Dana's academic background and current practice Going from clinical work to private practice  How Dana's private practice has evolved  The therapist book club  Researching marketing and SEO best practices Dana's advice for listeners  Dana's academic background and current practice  While Dana's private practice is situated in Whitby, Ontario, she completed her Master's degree in occupational therapy at McGill University in Montreal.  'I came back to Ontario after finishing my Master's, and in Ontario specifically … occupational therapists are one of the six regulated healthcare professionals that can practice controlled active psychotherapy. So, my practice is entirely psychotherapy, and my license type is that I just happen to be an occupational therapist.' - Dana Etherington Due to Ontario's regulatory laws, Dana can practice psychotherapy with an occupational therapy background. Remember to always check your province's regulations when planning your future Canadian private practice! The bridge between Dana's occupational therapy background and her current psychotherapy-focused practice is built on her appreciation for her clients. 'I loved spending the day getting to know people, and it felt like such an honor to hear people's stories. From then on, I knew that was how I wanted my career to go, and it feels so special to be trusted by clients to hear some really complicated and vulnerable parts of their lives.' - Dana Etherington  Going from clinical work to private practice After graduating, Dana didn't immediately go into private practice. She first spent time working at a psychiatric hospital beforehand. 'I was working my nine-to-five at the psychiatric hospital, and then I started my private practice part-time. I'd see maybe four clients a week after I was done with my hours at the hospital.' - Dana Etherington  Dana felt frustrated by the systemic barriers that made it difficult for people who needed support and help to find it, and that passion encouraged her to begin offering therapy in her own Ontario private practice. When Dana became a mother, she knew that she had to choose between working in the hospital and committing to her private practice.  'I knew I couldn't go on working both these jobs any longer. I was at this point where I had to make a choice: I either had to leave private practice behind or I had to jump in with both feet. So, I chose to jump in … And I have been full-time ever since 2023!' - Dana Etherington  How Dana's private practice has evolved 'I think it's the best decision I've ever made. It allows me to be the therapist I want to be, and also the mother that I want to be, too. It offers me that flexibility, it allows me to have time and space to also take care of myself. I couldn't think of a better career choice for me.' - Dana Etherington Right now, Dana has an in-person office in downtown Brooklyn as well as sees clients online.  In terms of staff, Dana currently has a contractor. She is open to expanding one day, but not right now. At this moment in time, she enjoys the time, space, and energy, and is giving the practice the chance to grow organically.  The therapist book club As a way to create more community, Dana and some of her fellow therapy colleagues have decided to launch a local therapist's book club in one of the members' offices.  They meet in person over an evening once a month, where they can discuss therapy, private practice-related work, and books that they are collectively reading about their work and specialties.  Researching marketing and SEO best practices Since Dana is running her Canadian private practice, she threw herself into researching everything there is to know about SEO.  Some of the tips she has for listeners are:  Get clear on your niche  Don't be afraid to commit to your niche  Try as best you can to consider what your ideal client is Googling when they are looking for someone like you to help them  When it comes to using AI, Dana recommends it for creating content that you may use for marketing, such as blogs. However, always humanize your work, because SEO is strongest when it is person-written and person-focused.  Dana's advice for listeners  Remember that marketing is part of your job now. It is not an extra luxury piece; it is part of reaching your ideal client and making a positive impact in the community around you. So, don't fear it, embrace it!

It seems insensitive to even suggest that someone “love” their fate. How are you supposed to love a breakup? Love that you buried someone? Love that you lost your business?

#351: Do you ever find yourself reminding your partner about their doctor's appointments (again)? Researching options for your adult child because they might get overwhelmed? Managing the family group chat so no one gets upset? You tell yourself you're being helpful, caring, responsible. That this is how you show love. But what if I told you that this kind of behavior is actually inherently disrespectful? Join me this week to learn what overfunctioning looks like so you can recognize it in your own life, and how breaking free from it requires recognizing that real love trusts people's capability and respects their autonomy. You'll discover how to offer support without taking over, honor people's right to make their own choices (even ones you disagree with), and create space for authentic connection instead of constant strategizing.

Dr. Lori stopped by the studio. She appraised all of our items that we got from thrift stores that we all bought with the intention of finding valuables. She tells us what they are worth vs. what we paid for them. She also tells us crazy stories from her appraisals where things have been worth millions of dollars...we hope that happens to us! Bobby talked about how he has been researching ultrasounds. We talked about Kellie Pickler who once went on a date with an alleged mass murderer. We also all shared our Tuesday Reviewsday of tv shows and movies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
