Are eggs bad for you because they may raise cholesterol?It's one of the most common nutrition questions in cardiology, and one of the most misunderstood. The reality is that raising cholesterol and harming your health aren't always the same thing, and when it comes to eggs, the data tells a much more nuanced and reassuring story than most people have been led to believe.In this conversation, Dr. Bret Scher walks through the science of eggs, cholesterol, and cardiovascular risk, cutting through decades of nutritional confusion to help you understand what it actually means for your individual dietary choices.You'll learn:Why the original "eggs cause heart disease" logic doesn't hold up under scientific scrutinyWhat happens to LDL and HDL when most people eat whole eggsWho the "egg hyper responders" are and what genetics has to do with itWhy hazard ratios in observational egg studies are often clinically unhelpfulWhat the American Heart Association now says about eggs and cardiovascular riskWhy eggs are one of the most nutrient dense whole foods availableHow to think about egg quality, quantity, and individual responseThe takeaway: eggs can be part of a healthy whole foods dietary pattern for most people. Context, metabolic health, and the totality of your diet often matter far more than any single food.

While that's an important and useful aim, it's only half the game. The other half of the game is that it is in service of other people and being able to be a positive force in the world.

Send us Fan MailWhat if everything you've been told about change, motivation, and stress is missing the most important piece — your brain?This week I'm joined by Lisa Riegel, educator by training, strategist by practice, and someone who has dedicated her career to translating brain science into language and tools that actually help people feel more self-aware, regulated, and in control. Lisa is the creator of the NeuroWell Framework and the Aspirations to Operations Commitment Framework, and whether she's working with Fortune 500 leaders, school systems, or individuals navigating their own lives, her message is the same: real change starts in the brain.In this conversation we cover so much ground, and I think you're going to find it as accessible and practical as I did. We talk about:Why 80% of the thinking happening in your brain right now is unconscious — and what that means for your behavior, your reactions, and your relationshipsMeet Bob and Harold — Lisa's brilliant, accessible way of explaining how your amygdala and thalamus work together to filter reality and trigger your stress responseThe four states of wakefulness (calm, alert, alarm, fear) and exactly what happens neurologically when you burn outWhy change is so hard — and why most change initiatives, in organizations and in our personal lives, fail before they even beginThe difference between outcome goals and action goals, and why that distinction is everythingWhy we don't know what our body feels like when we're happy — and a simple morning practice to start changing thatThe power of identifying not just what stresses you out, but why — and how uncovering the underlying fear gives you genuine self-controlWhy celebration is the most underused and misunderstood tool in leadership, parenting, and self-developmentHow to create your own resilient inner bubble in a world that feels increasingly out of controlLisa brings so much warmth and wisdom to this conversation, and her ability to take complex brain science and make it feel immediately usable is truly a gift.

Your kids' education is under attack—and the damage goes far beyond data breaches. Schools have become prime targets for hackers, not just because of the valuable student information they hold, but because their interconnected digital systems make them vulnerable to ransomware, data theft, and operational shutdowns that threaten safety and learning at every level. If you think cyber threats are just an IT problem, think again—this is a crisis of safety, trust, and our collective future.In this eye-opening episode, I expose the alarming realities of cybersecurity in America's schools. From massive breaches of platforms like Canvas and PowerSchool to ransomware attacks disabling vital systems like emergency notifications, security cameras, and HVAC controls, the stakes couldn't be higher. He reveals how adversaries exploit legacy tech, lax access controls, and vendor vulnerabilities, turning school networks into playgrounds for cybercriminals. The consequences? Loss of instruction time, compromised student identities, and even direct threats to safety—issues that can last for years.You'll discover:How cyber breaches in schools impact everything from classroom learning to emergency response systemsThe systemic risks created by centralized edtech platforms and third-party vendorsWhy traditional cybersecurity approaches fall short and what a true Zero Trust model for schools looks likePractical questions parents and school boards should be asking about MFA, data segmentation, vendor contracts, and incident responseThe urgent need to treat school cybersecurity as a matter of public safety and resilienceThis episode exposes the flawed assumptions and complacency that perpetuate one of the most critical vulnerabilities in our infrastructure—our children's education system. With billions of records at stake, and long-lasting consequences for identity and safety, it's clear: cybersecurity in schools isn't optional, it's essential.Whether you're a parent, educator, administrator, or concerned citizen, this conversation will radically change your perspective on what's really at risk—and how we can safeguard the future. If we fail to act, the fallout could disrupt learning, safety, and trust for generations.Prepare to be informed, inspired, and compelled to demand change. Schools are more than just buildings—they're the backbone of our society. Protecting them is protecting our future.
I'm recording this from a hospital. I've found a quiet corner - it's Saturday morning and you might hear lifts beeping, trolleys, maybe some voices.I'm here seeing a loved one. It's why there wasn't an episode last week. This isn't my story to tell, so I can't talk about details, but I wanted to share the context I'm in.This episode is about how life throws curveballs at us, and how the work we do in quieter moments supports us when we're facing the bigger stuff.You'll hear:Why this experience has been the most beautiful painful reminder of why compassionate self-enquiry mattersHow our humanness still shows up even when we have the tools - old patterns reassert themselves, we get triggered, we think 'I thought I didn't do that anymore'Why holding all of that with compassion gives us the spaciousness to choose our next responseThe moment my brain went completely offline mid-sentence (a sign of holding a lot right now)How self-awareness with self-compassion can be our greatest toolLastly, I want to share a gentle reminder: if you're facing something hard right now, hold space for yourself, resource yourself, reach out to people who can support you - it is this that enables us to resource and support others.If this activates anything for you, if you'd like to connect, if you'd like to hear more about the supportive spaces for exploring how to navigate change for yourself, you can get in touch here https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/contact or sign-up to receive my emails where I share more of this beautiful work https://hennyflynn.kit.com/Settle in, and see where the episode takes you.With loveHenny x ★ Support this podcast ★

California is running on fumes, and the Federalization of Sable Offshore will only save part of the oil and gas industry. Will the Trump Administration step in and save California from itself? You won't want to miss this episode. This ain't your Cats and Dogs living with each other, this is a full-blown apocalypse about to happen. This is a follow-up podcast to the one I had with Mike Ariza, and this time, David Blackmon and Professor Mike Mische are here to discuss the potential 7 Executive Orders that President Trump must enact to literally save the country.This is an eye-opening discussion from Professor Mische and Mike Ariza, with real boots-on-the-ground information.1. California's Energy Crisis & Supply ShortagesThe discussion centers on a critical fuel shortage affecting California, including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. This is driven by the shutdown of major refineries in the state, creating concerns about price spikes, supply disruptions, and impacts on transportation, agriculture, and military operations.2. Proposed Executive Orders & Defense Production ActExperts have drafted seven executive orders that could be invoked under the Defense Production Act to address the crisis. These orders aim to:Increase domestic oil and gas productionReopen and support refineriesOverride California's regulatory authority for faster responseThe discussion suggests these would likely withstand legal challenges3. National Security ImplicationsThe conversation emphasizes broader security concerns, noting that California has historically been a major fuel supplier for the U.S. military and economy. The loss of refining capacity and increasing reliance on imports pose serious risks, especially in potential conflicts or global supply chain disruptions.4. Politics & Ideology in Energy PolicyThe podcast discussion suggests California's government has been unwilling or unable to address the crisis due to ideological priorities—particularly climate change policies—which have been prioritized over ensuring reliable and affordable energy supplies.5. Urgency & Consequences of InactionExperts emphasize the critical need for immediate intervention, warning of severe consequences, including fuel shortages, price spikes, economic disruption, and national security risks if action isn't taken.Connect with Professor Mische on his LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-a-mische-987b30a/Connect with Mike Ariza on X https://x.com/MikeAriza4531Important Story Links: California will be a national security risk for the entire country!California Gasoline Supply Outlook: A Disaster in the Making https://californiaglobe.com/fr/california-gasoline-supply-outlook-a-disaster-in-the-making/California's Oil and Gas Crisis: From Military Threat to Mass Starvationhttps://californiaglobe.com/fr/from-military-threat-to-mass-starvation/EXCLUSIVE: Executive Orders for President Trump: Ensuring that US has Necessary Fuels from California to Provide US National Securityhttps://californiaglobe.com/fr/executive-orders-for-president-trump-ensuring-that-us-has-necessary-fuels-from-california-to-provide-us-national-security/Check out my Substack: https://blackmon.substack.com/

Fear is one of the most natural human responses to uncertainty. When our plans fall apart, the instinct to worry, panic, or imagine the worst can take over almost instantly.But what if the way we respond to those moments is not automatic? What if it's actually a choice?A recent experience reminded me of this truth in a very real way. When unexpected travel disruptions left me stranded in another country, I was faced with a decision many of us encounter in difficult situations: would I respond with fear, or with faith?Scripture has long taught that faith can bring peace even in uncertain circumstances. And now, modern neuroscience shows something similar.When we intentionally choose trust, prayer, and reflection, it can calm the brain's fear response and help us regulate the stress and anxiety that uncertainty often triggers.How does faith help calm the mind and body in moments of uncertainty?In this episode, I share how choosing faith over fear can transform the way we respond to challenges, and why this daily choice can strengthen resilience in the face of life's unpredictable moments.Things You'll Learn In This Episode Fear is the default responseThe brain is wired to detect threats and activate a rapid stress response. Why can this survival mechanism leave us stuck in cycles of anxiety when we face uncertainty today?What happens when fear takes overWhen the brain's alarm system dominates, it can suppress the part of the brain responsible for reasoning and emotional regulation. How does this “amygdala hijack” shape the way we react to stressful situations?Faith can calm the mind and bodySpiritual practices such as prayer and reflection can help regulate the brain's stress response. How do faith and neuroscience point to similar pathways for building resilience?About Your HostHosted by Dr. Deepa Grandon, MD, MBA, a triple board-certified physician with over 23 years of experience working as a Physician Consultant for influential organizations worldwide.

What does it mean to break a cycle when you're still inside it? Michelle Gibson is a psychotherapist, CEO of Gibson and Associates and the Nest Collective, and a mom of one, and she has spent her career helping people find language for experiences they were never taught to name.In this conversation, Michelle and Ashley cover a lot of ground: childhood trauma and the path into psychotherapy, the complicated terrain of parent estrangement, why adverse childhood experiences are disproportionately common in entrepreneurs, and what it looks like to lead a business and a family, from a place of genuine self-connection rather than survival mode.It's an honest, warm, and unexpectedly funny conversation about doing the work while also just trying to get dinner on the table.In This EpisodeHow Michelle's childhood (alcoholism, trauma, adverse childhood experiences) led her to psychotherapyThe magnetic effect of finding language for what you've been throughWhy social-emotional learning in schools is changing what middle school looks like for kids todayReparenting yourself while parenting someone else — and the double labor that involvesThe rise of estrangement from parents and what's driving itMichelle shares her own experience estranging from her father — and why having a daughter changed the calculationAshley shares her own experience with estrangementWhy entrepreneurs so often come from hard childhoods — grit as a survival responseThe moment Michelle looked up from years of grind and realized she'd been in survival mode her whole lifeWhat it means to lead from a heart-led place versus a fear-led oneThe privilege of support — naming it honestly so other parents don't compare their back end to someone else's front end“Your parents' ceiling is your floor” — and how Michelle thinks about expanding that for her daughterResources & LinksGibson and Associates: gibsoncounselling.caThe Nest Collective: thenestcollective.caEmail: michelle@gibsoncounselling.ca or michelle@thenestcollective.caFind Michelle on LinkedInConnect with Ashley:Website: https://www.ashleyblackington.comPodcast website: https://www.andbothpodcast.com/Dovetail® App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dovetail-app/id6744341822Instagram: @mydovetail.appLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyblackington/

The patterns you learned from your parents are running your life.

In this episode, James talks with Matt Plante, President of Voltus, about what it actually takes to build a virtual power plant that grid operators call on every single day.Voltus aggregates distributed energy resources, including industrial loads, batteries, commercial buildings, and now residential assets, into virtual power plants that participate in wholesale electricity markets. Since April 2024, Voltus has been dispatched by a grid operator every single day, a milestone that signals demand flexibility has moved from emergency backup to standard operating procedure. Matt joins James to unpack how the company has grown 10x since their 2021 conversation, what finally made the battery cost curve work, and why the barriers to scale look nothing like the barriers to entry.James and Matt get into:Why the shift from no-load-growth to explosive load growth has changed what grid operators will consider, and how fastHow batteries went from not penciling to the fastest-growing DER segment in Voltus's portfolioWhat data centers actually want from demand flexibility programs, and why forcing them to participate would backfireWhy FERC 2222 hasn't delivered and what it actually takes to unlock new states for third-party demand responseThe grid's relationship to distributed resources has fundamentally changed, and this episode is a clear-eyed look at what made that shift happen and what comes next.Paces helps developers find and evaluate the sites most suitable for renewable development.

Happy Mindset Monday!Your insecurities aren't the problem.Hiding them is.In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Tyler Dickerhoof, leadership mentor, founder of the Impact Driven Leader, and author of "The Things We Hide."Tyler introduces the Four Walls framework: inactivity, insensitivity, isolation, and intensity. These are the barriers we build when our insecurities get triggered. The goal isn't to remove your insecurities or tear down your walls. It's to put windows in them.Tyler shares the story of losing his brother Joel in a farming accident when he was 14, and how 25 years later he discovered that tragedy shaped the way he handled everything: with intensity. Head down, push through, leave carnage in relationships.This conversation gets vulnerable. Tyler opened up, and honestly, it broke me open too. I realized I've been hiding behind being "the expert" instead of letting people actually see me.
Work with Lewis: https://www.skool.com/inspired-life-method-9441/ What if the reason you can't lose weight, find love, or break through in business has nothing to do with strategy — and everything to do with what's running in your subconscious?In this episode, I sit down with Sarah McNelis — manifestation and body transformation expert with over 16 years of experience — for a raw, honest, and incredibly practical conversation about rewiring your mind, regulating your nervous system, and becoming the person who already has what you want.Sarah left a 12-year relationship, packed her car, sold her business, and moved to a city where she knew nobody. What came next changed everything — and she's spent the last decade helping women do the same.In this episode we cover:The 4-step manifestation process that actually works (and why most people skip step 2)Why your subconscious is running 95% of your life — and how to rewire itHow to discern between a genuine intuition and a trauma responseThe connection between nervous system regulation and body transformationWhy confidence isn't a personality trait — it's a practiceHow to call in a partner by becoming the person worthy of themWhy women are evolving faster than men — and what men need to do about itInner child work, shame, and the real root cause underneath most body and relationship strugglesHow disciplined identity work changes your money, relationships and career — even when that wasn't the goalPractical morning and evening routines to rewire your subconscious dailyThis episode is for you if:You keep setting goals but sabotage yourself before you reach themYou feel stuck in your body, your relationships, or your businessYou want to understand how manifestation actually works beyond the surface levelYou're ready to stop thinking and start becomingSara's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sara_mcnelis/
You beat yourself up after every slip. You call it accountability. The diet industry calls it discipline. Your body calls it cortisol.In this episode, Rick Taylar breaks down the 5 specific ways self-criticism is working against your weight loss, biologically, psychologically, and at the identity level. Then he shows you what people over 40 who actually break the cycle do the morning after a bad day. It's not what you'd expect.If you've been stuck in the try-fail-shame-repeat loop for years, this episode is the unlock.What You'll DiscoverWhy guilt after a slip doesn't just feel bad — it chemically schedules the next bingeHow the Identity Thermostat keeps you cycling back to your current weight no matter what you eatThe diet industry's hidden business model — and why your shame is the productThe Scientists vs. Judges framework and why you can only run one mode at a timeWhy treating your body like the enemy triggers a physiological fat-storage responseThe two-step morning-after protocol that breaks the shame spiral for goodKey ConceptsThe Identity ThermostatYour internal belief about the kind of person you are around food. No diet can override it. Every time you beat yourself up after a slip, you turn the dial down — cementing the belief that this is just who you are. The thermostat always returns you to its set point.The Shame SpiralTry a diet. Slip up. Feel shame. Eat to numb the shame. Feel more shame. The diet industry built its $250 billion business on this loop. Understanding it as a mechanical pattern — not a moral failing — is the first step out.Scientists vs. JudgesA Judge responds to a slip with a verdict: you're disgusting, you'll never change. A Scientist responds with a question: what was happening that day? What did my body actually need? One gives you something to use. The other poisons the well for tomorrow. You can't run both modes at once.The Morning-After ProtocolTwo steps. First, stability — give your body what it needs today (a decent meal, water, rest, a walk). Not punishment. Not heroics. Just stable. Second, curiosity — ask honestly what was happening yesterday and what you can learn from it. That's the whole protocol.From This Episode"You cannot hate your way to health. A body under constant attack goes into protection mode. It holds onto fat. It resists change. The hostility doesn't motivate your body. It digs in.""Suffering is not a strategy. Guilt is not data. And pain that doesn't produce insight is just pain.""Every time you beat yourself up, you're not casting a vote for accountability. You're casting a vote for who you are."
Fenbendazole Side Effects in Dogs: What Breeders Need to Know About Rare ReactionsFenbendazole (Panacur) has been a go-to dewormer for veterinarians and breeders for over 40 years — but a rare, life-threatening blood disorder in a 10-month-old French Bulldog is prompting a closer look. Dr. Marty Greer joins host Laura Reeves to share what happened, what it means, and why being an informed consumer of veterinary drugs matters more than ever.Marty shares her experience with a young French Bulldog who developed severe pancytopenia — dangerously low white blood cells, platelets near zero, and declining red blood cells — after a 10-day course of fenbendazole for Giardia.In this episode, Marty and Laura cover:Idiosyncratic vs. idiopathic reactions— what the difference means and why it matters when a drug you trust causes an unexpected responseThe fenbendazole case— a detailed walkthrough of diagnosis, the ruling-out process (parvo, tick-borne disease, vaccines, other drugs), and the treatment that turned it around within 24 hoursThe FDA Dear Veterinarian letter— as of April 2024, pancytopenia had been reported in 12 dogs on fenbendazole; this case may make 13How to report adverse drug reactions— and why that reporting matters for future label updatesMDR-1 gene mutations— which breeds are affected and what drugs to watchTrimethoprim-sulfa (Bactrim/Albon)— breeds at higher risk for platelet drops, including Samoyeds, Dobermans, Goldens and BorzoiTopical flea/tick products— the "heebie-jeebies" skin sensation and what to do if your dog reacts every monthReading package inserts— a practical tip: search for the drug name + "package insert PDF" and use Ctrl+F to find terms like "pregnant," "breeding," or "male"Key takeaway: Fenbendazole remains a safe, widely used drug — but as with any medication, idiosyncratic reactions can happen.

You know those moments when something just “feels off?” That's when you should trust your instincts and speak up because timing can completely change a patient's outcome.In this episode, Sarah is joined by Dr. Oscar Mitchell, Associate Director of the Center for Resuscitation Science and Director of the Medical Rapid Response Team at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. They break down one septic shock case across two timelines: first, when rapid response is called early and there's still time to intervene, and later, when the patient is already crashing.You'll hear what a calm, collaborative rapid response call looks like, which signs of deterioration should never be ignored, and how to effectively share your concerns with a provider. This episode is for anyone who might call a rapid response AND for those who respond to emergencies.Topics discussed in this episode:Introduction to the patient and the 5PM timelineWhat the ideal provider–nurse collaboration looks likeEarly signs of deterioration that were missedWhy some nurses hesitate to call rapid responseThe patient's vitals at 10AM and why rapid response was calledWhy the documented respiratory rate might not be reliableWhy blood pressure can be misleadingSBAR and CUS frameworks for escalationDr. Mitchell's research on delays in RRT activation and mortalityEarly warning signs you should never ignoreRegister for the REVIVE Conference and use code RAPID50 to get $50 off!https://www.revive-conference.com/Check out Dr. Mitchell's research here:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36349290/Mentioned in this episode:AND If you are planning to sit for your CCRN and would like to take the Critical Care Academy CCRN prep course you can visit https://www.ccrnacademy.com and use coupon code RAPID10 to get 10% off the cost of the course!CONNECT
As competition season approaches, many parents are suddenly seeing more fear, anxiety, and mental blocks in the gym. What's surprising is how often these struggles show up right as families start asking about fueling. This episode explores the connection between gymnast mental blocks and nutrition, and why emotional challenges often intensify when the body is under stress.First, this is common. The pressure of upcoming meets can absolutely trigger mental blocks, and many gymnasts benefit from working with a licensed therapist or sport psychologist. Mental support matters.But nutrition is often a missing piece. When a gymnast isn't eating enough to support training, growth, and stress, the body shifts into survival mode. This activates the fight-or-flight response, making the brain more reactive and less flexible.Underfueling often shows up as increased anxiety, panic before skills, emotional outbursts, or sudden fear that feels “out of nowhere.” When food restriction or disordered eating patterns are involved, nervous system stress increases even more, often intensifying mental blocks and emotional volatility.When gymnasts are supported with consistent fueling, adequate electrolytes, balanced minerals, and stress-aware nutrition, improvements in mood, focus, sleep, and emotional regulation often follow.Mental health in kids and teens isn't just psychological. It's also physiological. Minerals play a key role in nervous system regulation, stress response, and brain chemistry. Mental health symptoms are rarely caused by one deficiency. They're usually the result of imbalance.

Hey everyone! We're taking our own advice this week and looking after our energy levels — both of us enjoying a week off post-Christmas to get back into our routines and doing our best to avoid PDA. So instead of a brand-new episode today, we're re-running one of our most popular and meaningful conversations. Thank you so much for your understanding as we take a breather — so please enjoy one of our favourite episodes from 2025.Struggling with everyday tasks as a neurodivergent adult? In this candid and insightful episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, hosts Jordan James and Simon Scott unpack the lived reality of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) — a form of demand sensitivity often misunderstood, dismissed, or mislabelled as laziness.From dodging the dishwasher to putting off doctor's appointments, and from procrastinating over paperwork to resisting even self-imposed goals, we explore:What PDA really is — and why the NHS still doesn't formally recognise itHow demands (even ones we place on ourselves) trigger an instant “no” responseThe link between PDA, trauma, anxiety, and the obsessive need for autonomyWhy even fun things can feel impossible once they become obligationsPractical examples: chores, eating, car washes, and the endless hurdle race of daily lifePartner strategies — how reframing demands as favours can unlock cooperationWhy small wins matter: celebrating every task completed as a genuine victoryHow to create accommodations that turn mountains back into molehillsWhether you're living with PDA yourself, raising a neurodivergent child, or just want to understand why “simple” tasks aren't simple at all, this conversation blends raw honesty, humour, and real-world strategies for navigating life when demand avoidance touches everything.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
In this Deep Dive episode of The Trip Lab, we unpack hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) beyond the oversimplified “LDL bad, HDL good” narrative. We also take a clear-eyed look at the most common concerns people have about statins, what the evidence actually shows, and where these medications fit—and don't fit—within a thoughtful, individualized approach to cardiovascular risk.From there, we explore integrative strategies for managing elevated cholesterol and why, for many patients, lifestyle, metabolic health, and inflammation-targeted interventions may be more effective than medications alone.In this episode, we discuss:Why cholesterol is biologically essential and not inherently pathologicalThe limitations of relying on LDL alone to assess cardiovascular riskHow inflammation, insulin resistance, genetics, hormones, and lifestyle influence lipid metabolismWhen elevated cholesterol truly signals disease—and when it may reflect a compensatory or adaptive responseThe role of advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP and CAC scoresWhy risk stratification—not fear-based medicine—should guide clinical decision-makingWhat statins can (and cannot do) and we break down the concerns people have with themWhy integrative approaches (nutrition, exercise, herbal options and mind-body medicine) truly treat the root cause of diseaseThis episode is for clinicians, patients, and anyone looking to move beyond simplistic cholesterol narratives toward a more nuanced, evidence-based understanding of cardiovascular health.
In September 2005, 17-year-old college freshman Taylor Behl left her dorm at Virginia Commonwealth University for a short late-night drive—and never returned. What began as a routine missing-person report quickly spiraled into a massive search effort that drew national attention and exposed a disturbing web of relationships, manipulation, and obsession.In this episode of Lurk, we retrace Taylor's final hours, the frantic investigation that followed, and the unexpected suspect who had been hiding in plain sight. From downtown Richmond to the quiet backroads of Mathews County, we follow the trail that ultimately led to the heartbreaking discovery of Taylor's body—and the truth behind her murder.Join us as we explore:Taylor Behl's life and first weeks at VCUHer sudden disappearance and the initial responseThe digital clues and MySpace connections that shaped the investigationThe eerie behavior of amateur photographer Benjamin FawleyHow search teams uncovered the location of Taylor's remainsThe case's resolution and the legal aftermathThis is the story of a promising young woman whose life was stolen—and of the dogged investigators, family members, and volunteers who refused to stop searching.Listener discretion is advised.Subscribe & Follow:Don't miss future episodes of Lurk!

Send us a textMost of us don't realize how deeply grief can reshape our identity. When someone we love dies by suicide, we often unconsciously believe that staying broken honors them—that abandoning our joy, our hobbies, our future is some kind of loyalty. But here's the hard truth: that's not honoring them. That's joining them in death.In this raw and unflinching episode, therapist and suicide loss survivor Alison Lager pulls back the curtain on the invisible second death—the one that happens to survivors. Drawing from her own devastating experience losing her husband to suicide, neuroscience, spiritual wisdom, and years of clinical practice, Alison shares the actionable blueprint she used to refuse suicide a second victim.You'll discover:Why "secondary loss" happens—and how your abandoned dreams become collateral damage to griefThe dangerous comfort of the "victim" identity—and why you have to eventually let it go to surviveThe "boardwalk principle": How to reclaim the places and activities you loved without betraying your loved oneWhy staying in grief is a form of spiritual death—and how to recognize when you're joining the same darkness that took themThe science of "gaining more than you lost"—the neuroscience behind why this actually worksHow to ride waves of grief instead of drowning in one long emotional responseThe "heavier weights" metaphor: Why your pain can become your greatest strengthPractical strategies for processing rage, anger, and the emotions grief tries to hideWhy living fully is the ultimate honor to those we've lost—not a betrayalThis episode is for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide, anyone supporting a widow or survivor, and anyone who's ever wondered if there's a way out of the darkness. If you've felt like staying sad is loyalty, or believed that you can never be happy again—this conversation will change everything.Because here's what Alison knows: Suicide didn't just take their life. It's trying to take yours too. And you have the power to say no.
In this episode of The New CISO, host Steve Moore speaks with Iain Paterson, Chief Information Security Officer at Well Health Technologies, about his unconventional path into cybersecurity and the lessons learned from building programs across industries—from banking and healthcare to breach response and beyond.From skipping college to take an eight-month technical boot camp to leading enterprise security programs, Iain shares how curiosity, hands-on experience, and communication skills shaped his journey. He opens up about the realities of hiring in cybersecurity, why foundational IT work still matters, and how soft skills like empathy and composure are essential for effective leadership.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, hosts Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson explore the profound connection between change, homeostasis, and wellness. They unpack why change isn't something to resist but to embrace—because homeostasis itself is change, the constant dynamic adjustment that keeps us alive and well.Drawing on neuroscience, Tom explains how the brain perceives change through the amygdala, either as a threat (activating the sympathetic fight-or-flight response) or as an opportunity (activating the parasympathetic rest-recover-digest state). Together, Tom and Ruth explore how our perception of change determines our experience of it—whether we spiral into anxiety and frustration or move toward growth, restoration, and resilience.Listeners will learn the difference between wanting change and wanting to change, and how cultivating a mindset of beneficial anticipation—seeing change as life-giving—creates space for healing, adaptability, and sustainable wellness.
In this episode of The New CISO, host Steve Moore speaks with Dr. Timo Wandhöfer, Group CISO and Head of Information Security & Business Continuity Management at Klöckner & Co, about the evolving responsibilities of modern CISOs and why influencing—not just convincing—stakeholders is essential for success.From his early career as a researcher in computer science to leading global security and resiliency efforts in the steel industry, Timo shares how critical thinking, skepticism, and cross-functional collaboration shaped his leadership style. He reflects on the dangers of overconfidence in detection, the risks of over-relying on tools, and the lessons learned from merging information security with business continuity. Timo also explores how AI can both accelerate remediation and introduce new risks, and why resilience planning and transparent communication are at the core of effective leadership.Key Topics Covered:The evolving role of the CISO: from protection to resilience and adaptabilityHow research skills translate into critical thinking and cross-functional collaborationWhy overconfidence and lack of visibility remain major pitfalls in security programsThe importance of transparency, maturity, and asset inventory for strong defensesResiliency planning: ransomware recovery, crisis management, and operating modelsInsider threat investigations and the role of HR, Legal, and IT in responseThe shift from convincing to influencing stakeholders through dialogueThe promise and risks of AI and automation in remediation and decision-makingWhy today's CISO must be a communicator, storyteller, and business leaderTimo's journey highlights how resilience, adaptability, and influence define the “new CISO.” His insights provide a roadmap for leaders who want to strengthen security programs, build trust with stakeholders, and guide their organizations with both technical and business acumen.
