Natalie welcomes Shayna Netanyah to the show in a live zoom interview. Shaya, 47, divorced no children, was a liberal Jewish woman in Northern California. Immediately after the October 7th attacks, her reform synagogue began expressing sympathy for the Palestinian cause, and her friends turned against the Jews. When she was hanging up posters of kidnapped Israelis, people in her community ripped them down. Over and over this occurred until finally, thugs attacked her outside her front door while the neighbors stood by silently, with smiles on their faces. It was Germany 1945 and Shayna decided then and there to leave. She will be making aliyah at the end of September. Returning Home 19JULY2026 - PODCAST

Mario Jerez and Erin Summers are joined by Saints safety Justin Reid for an in-depth conversation as training camp approaches. Justin reflects on his unique football journey, from growing up in Ascension Parish and starring at Dutchtown High School to choosing Stanford over LSU and eventually becoming a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs. Reid discusses the influence of his family, including his mother's remarkable work ethic and his early passion for soccer, which nearly became his primary sport before football took center stage. Justin also opens up about life away from the field, sharing his interests in photography, chess, and other personal passions that help him stay balanced during the NFL season. On the football side, Reid provides insight into the Saints' offseason preparations, his growing role as a veteran leader, and the benefits of another year in Brandon Staley's defensive system. He discusses the impact of players such as Chase Young, Justin Blackmon, Kool-Aid McKinstry and Jonas Sanker, while also evaluating the continued development of quarterback Tyler Shough. Reid shares his thoughts on what Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne can bring to the offense and explains how familiarity and continuity could help elevate the Saints defense in 2026. The conversation also touches on the NFC South race, New Orleans' rivalry with Atlanta, comparisons between Brandon Staley and Steve Spagnuolo, and Reid's approach to blocking out outside noise and “fabricated hearsay” as the Saints prepare for a pivotal season.

In recent months of the war, Ukraine has managed to hold its front lines and bring war to regular Russians via attacks on infrastructure. That's why Economic Advisor to the President of Ukraine Chrystia Freeland believes Ukraine has flipped the narrative from being the virtuous victim of Russia's aggression to the necessary ally and shield of Europe. This week, she joins Sir Ben Wallace and co-host Kate McCann to make the case for why Ukraine is winning, and why winning on the economic battlefield is equally important to the country's future.  Freeland talks about how Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is laying the political groundwork for Ukraine's economic success, the importance of Ukraine's alliances, and why Poland's success story should serve as a model for Ukraine's post-war future. They also discuss Ukraine's strong defense industrial base, the importance of rooting out corruption and the remnants of Soviet ideology for bringing in investment to the country, the challenges of attracting people back to Ukraine, and why victory for Ukraine is a victory for liberal democracy. Plus, In Brief: what Andy Burnham is up against on the UK's defense front as he ascends to the role of Prime Minister, another battle in the Strait of Hormuz reignites conflict between Iran and the United States, and a leadership shakeup in China's People's Liberation Army.

Natalie speaks with Chava Stein who made aliyah with her family from Baltimore in August 2025. The moved directly to Ramat Beit Shemesh to be with other Olim from the U.S. Chava shares the hard parts of making Aliyah, even to Ramat Beit Shemesh aka "Little America" and shares that it is NOT America at all, despite what people say. Moving from a big house to an apartment, two big cars to one; and having to learn Hebrew are all adjustments the family has made. While Chava says Ramat Beit Shemesh has enough Olim that her children have made friends easily, learning Hebrew BEFORE moving to Israel would have made things easier, and she advises to invest in your childrens' ulpan 2-3 years in advance of making aliyah.

Saying Kiddush When Returning Home on Friday Night by Rabbi Avi Harari

Returning HomeRuth 1Teacher: Pastor Tommy BaileyDate: July 5, 2026The book of Ruth is a quiet story tucked between the tumultuous period of the Judges and the rise of Israel's kings. In the first chapter of Ruth, a famine drives a small family from Bethlehem, the house of bread, into Moab, a pagan land far from the presence and promises of God. There, in a country that was never home, Naomi loses her husband and both of her sons, and is left with her grief, two widowed daughters-in-law, and a longing to return home.Join Pastor Tommy as we open Ruth 1 and follow Naomi and Ruth on the road back to Bethlehem. In her season of loss, Naomi hears that God has visited his people, and she sets her face toward home. Ruth, a Moabite who had every reason to stay behind, clings to Naomi: “Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.” Underneath all the sorrow and lament, God is quietly at work, moving toward this grieving family with a steadfast, covenant love that will not let go, making a way for the weary and the wandering to come home.Support the showTo find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Ronald White, guest author, describes how, returning home as a hero, Chamberlain overcame a stutter to become one of the nation's most eloquent orators, focusing on the themes of national reconciliation. He was drafted by the Republican Party and served four one-year terms as Governor of Maine, where he championed economic reconstruction, railroads, and the founding of an agricultural college. However, his public success hid a private agony caused by his unhealed Petersburg wound, which forced him to work while lying down or with his legs extended. This physical toll and his long absences in Augusta strained his marriage to Fanny, who may not have fully grasped the depth of his suffering. Despite his prominence and the respect of political giants like James G. Blaine, his integrity and refusal to self-promote likely prevented him from pursuing national office, leaving him to serve his state in persistent pain.

Send us Fan MailThis episode comes from two threads that have been weaving together in my practice lately: training in Polarity Champissage — a beautiful Ayurvedic marma-based body therapy developed by my friend and mentor Caroline Crichton — and developing Somatic Stretch and Shake, the movement class I've been teaching at Soma in Belfast, Maine.I want to be upfront: these ideas are still in process for me. I'm researching this both academically and in my own body, and it doesn't feel fully cooked yet. But there has been so much synchronicity around this topic lately that it felt like a sign to share what I have so far — and keep exploring from here.What we cover:The neurogenic tremor — the natural, involuntary shaking response that animals use to discharge stress (and that we've learned to suppress), and why somatic shaking gives this built-in mechanism somewhere to goWhat shaking does to fascia — the connective tissue web running through the entire body, richer in nerve endings than muscle tissue, and how trauma and chronic stress can cause it to tighten, thicken, and lose its fluid qualityMechanotransduction and hyaluronan — how vibration triggers cellular responses in fascia, including the cycling of hyaluronan, the gel-like substance that keeps fascial tissue hydrated and gliding freelyThe interstitium — the recently mapped, fluid-filled connective tissue network discovered somewhat by accident in 2015, and why it was invisible to traditional biopsy methods for so longA possible bridge between systems — emerging research suggesting the interstitium may be the physical substrate for the meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and how this connects to marma points and Polarity ChampissageThe rasa dhatu connection — why interstitial fluid flow decreasing with age (especially after 50) may be one physical mechanism behind the dryness and depletion of rasa dhatu in perimenopause, and how movement and shaking help keep this fluid circulatingHow to actually shake — shaking in sets of three to six minutes, followed by a minute of stillness to let the body integrate; why subtle shaking is just as effective as big movement; and why consistency matters more than intensityThe synchronicities: Thinking about a chapter on the interstitium in Abigail Rose Clark's book Returning Home to Our Bodies — and getting an email from her about an emboided anatomy class she is teaching on the interstitium hours laters. A New York Times article on the interstitium. An interview with Dr. Neil Theise, the NYU pathologist at the center of the 2015 discovery, on fascia, the interstitium, and consciousness.

In this episode, we tackle a moment that is quietlyreshaping American households: the college graduate who walks across that stage in May and is back in their childhood bedroom by June. We will explore what this transition really looks like for both the graduate and the parents, why it is happening at historic rates, what the research tells us about the emotional and psychological weight of coming home, and what fathers can do to make this season one of the most powerful investments they will ever make in their adult child.This is not a conversation about failure. This is aconversation about fatherhood at a new level.REFERENCES & SOURCE NOTES1.      Weiner, S. (2024).Adjusting to Life After College: A Therapist's Guide to Moving Back Home.

The priority list for The Co-Pilot is now open! Register here to not miss out on the early bird offerFrom being a desert girl in Sedona, Arizona to now a single mom by choice of two back in Amsterdam, with a stop in NYC in between: in this episode I catch up with Charlotte van ‘t Wout. Charlotte (also known as Celine Charlotte on Instagram) is a multiple 7-figure entrepreneur and has lived a global life. She was one of the first guests on the show (her saying yes to my pitch actually was the kick in the butt I needed to get started!) and shared about her life in the US in episode 3.

In 1982, American sailor Steven Callahan survived 76 days alone in the Atlantic Ocean after his sailboat sank in the middle of the night. In this episode of the Align Podcast, he joins Aaron to share his mind-blowing story. From catching fish and collecting drinking water to managing fear, loneliness, and physical pain, Steven reflects on the mental and spiritual lessons that emerged during one of the most well-known survival stories ever recorded. He also explores resilience, human adaptability, and what life at sea taught him about purpose, suffering, and connection to the natural world. ALIGN PODCAST EPISODE #595 ========== OUR GUEST ========== Best selling author, marine adventurer, artist, and consultant to Oscar-winning directors, Steven Callahan has built his fifty-year career in the maritime and communications businesses on a rare blend of hands-on, real-world experience, technical know-how, philosophy, and the creative arts. Callahan considers the sea the world's greatest wilderness. He often wrote about adventuresome shorthanded offshore sailing events for maritime audiences, but by exploring the universal human issues and emotions that are amplified at sea and through the stress of survival, Callahan's creative work has been able to span both dedicated marine and general audiences. Adrift, Seventy-Six Days Lost at Sea (Houghton Mifflin) chronicles his 2,000-mile (1,800 nautical mile) survival drift across the Atlantic in a six-foot diameter inflated raft in 1982. ================ STEVEN CALLAHAN ================

There's a fine line between taking space and running away. In this episode of Your Quiet Moment, we explore how to tell the difference between healthy retreat and avoidance. Through guided meditation and honest self-inquiry, you'll learn to recognize when you're moving toward yourself versus away from yourself. Running feels urgent and restless. Returning home feels quiet and settling. This session helps you distinguish between the two so you can stop escaping and start arriving — back into the arms of your own presence.

On this episode, we sit down with Princess Noura bint Faisal Al Saud, the visionary behind Saudi Arabia's first-ever fashion week and CEO of JAY3LLE. She shares the journey of building a fashion industry in the Kingdom from the ground up navigating risk, resistance, and ultimately proving that Saudi talent can compete on the global stage. Drawing from her years living and studying in Japan, she explains how that experience shaped her global mindset and approach to entrepreneurship. Princess Noura also reflects on her transition from the private sector to contributing to the strategy of the Saudi Fashion Commission, helping lay the foundation for a thriving creative ecosystem. The conversation explores the impact of Saudi Vision 2030, the rise of Saudi soft power, and the country's shift from being consumers to becoming innovators. She also discusses fashion as a form of cultural storytelling, from Founding Day to Saudi Cup and what it takes to build a sustainable global brand while preserving authenticity. On a more personal level, she opens up about risk-taking, self-doubt, and the values instilled in her by her parents. Princess Noura shares her perspective on success beyond titles and achievements, offering insight into the mindset required to lead meaningful change and position Saudi Arabia as a growing force in global fashion and culture. 0:00 Intro2:47 Building an Ecosystem Before the Fashion Authority8:11 Facing Resistance and Calculated Risk-Taking14:57 The Fashion Supply Chain & Job Creation16:14 Evolution of the Abaya & Saudi Design19:03 International Reactions to Saudi's Fashion Movement21:38 Fashion as Soft Power & Saudi Storytelling24:37 Founding Day & The Saudi Cup Dress Code29:53 Preserving Authenticity in a Changing Saudi Arabia32:04 Background: Studying in Japan36:37 Building Cultural Bridge44:22 Returning Home for Vision 203047:10 Introducing JAY3LLE: A Saudi Fashion Brand49:41 Golf as Lifestyle & The Brand's Vision53:27 What It Takes for Saudi Brands to Compete Globally56:04 The Business of Fashion & The Saudi Fashion Fund1:00:03 Competing in a Demanding Saudi Market1:01:22 Arab Brands Going Global 1:03:16 Defining Personal Success1:05:59 Self-Doubt, Imposter Syndrome & Seeking Mentors1:10:00 Lessons from Parents1:12:19 No Regrets, Growth Through Mistakes1:16:26 Closing Reflections

RETURNING HOME – Part 4 “There Will Be A Celebration” Luke 15:22-23 “But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:” By the time the son made his way back home, he had already prepared himself for less. Less position. Less privilege. Less identity. In his mind, he wasn't coming back as a son—just a servant hoping for mercy. But the father had something entirely different in mind. Before the son could get used to shame and regret, the father called for a robe. Not just any robe, the best one. Before he could hang his head in failure, a ring was placed on his hand, this restored identity.

RETURNING HOME – Part 3 “You Will Face Resistance” Luke 15:25-28 25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. 28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. When we think about “coming home,” we often picture peace, relief, and restoration—and rightly so. But tucked inside this story is a truth we don't always expect: Not everyone will celebrate your return. The younger son came home broken, humbled, and ready to be restored. The father ran to him, embraced him, and rejoiced. But while there was music and dancing in the house… there was resistance in the field.

RETURNING HOME – Part 1 “Some Things Will Never Change” Luke 15:17-20 There comes a moment in a person's life when the chaos of our choices settles down just enough for truth to be heard again. In Luke 15, the prodigal son had reached such a moment, Luke 15:17-20 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. “when he came to himself.” That's phrase is so powerful because it reminds us that running from God will always take us away from who we are really meant to be, but returning to Him not only brings us back to God, but also brings us back to ourselves.

There's a point where pushing through just doesn't work anymore. For Keith Cole, that moment didn't come in combat. It came decades later — after war, loss, responsibility, and years of carrying more than anyone could see. A Vietnam Marine veteran, CPA, husband, and provider, Keith spent over 50 years holding it all together… until one night, alone in his office, everything finally broke. This episode is about what happens when the weight becomes too much to carry, and what can happen when you finally let it go. Keith shares his journey from combat and trauma to decades of silent burnout, and the moment he reached a breaking point that led to full surrender. What followed wasn't weakness — it was clarity, peace, and a new path rooted in faith, discipline, and daily practice. His story offers a powerful perspective on healing, especially for those who have spent a lifetime being "strong" for everyone else. Guest Bio Keith A. Cole is a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran, former CPA, author, and speaker who writes and speaks on trauma, burnout, and faith-centered recovery. After serving during the Vietnam era and spending decades managing both professional and family responsibilities, Keith experienced deep emotional and spiritual burnout. Through surrender and a renewed relationship with Jesus Christ, he developed a daily recovery framework that helped him find peace, purpose, and healing. He shares that journey in his book, Burnout: God's Recovery Plan: A Marine's Story of Trauma, Surrender, and Healing through Faith, offering practical guidance for those feeling overwhelmed by life's burdens.

Speaker: Pastor Nate Richie

When the mission ends, the questions often begin. Jeremy Stalnecker spent years building his identity around service, leadership, and responsibility as a United States Marine infantry officer. But when combat ended and the uniform came off, Jeremy found himself facing a different kind of battle, one marked by anger, isolation, loss of identity, and a quiet belief that he was completely alone. This episode traces Jeremy's journey from combat leadership to personal collapse, and ultimately to clarity. Through painful self-reflection, accountability, faith, and community, Jeremy discovered that the wounds carried after service are not signs of weakness, they are invitations to heal. His story speaks to anyone who has ever lost their sense of purpose after a major life transition and wondered if hope was still possible. Guest Bio Jeremy Stalnecker is the CEO of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping military service members, veterans, first responders, and their families heal from the unseen wounds of trauma, including PTSD. Raised in San Jacinto, California, Jeremy pursued his lifelong goal of becoming a United States Marine, earning an active-duty commission in 1999 and serving as an infantry platoon commander with 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division. In 2003, Jeremy deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, where his unit breached the berm separating Kuwait and Iraq and helped secure Baghdad. Following his return from combat, Jeremy transitioned into full-time ministry, serving first as an Assistant Pastor at Coastline Baptist Church in Oceanside, California, and later as Senior Pastor of Bay Area Baptist Church in Fremont, California. In 2015, he joined Mighty Oaks full time, uniting his military experience and ministry calling to help others find healing, identity, and purpose after trauma. Jeremy and his wife Susanne are the parents of four children and remain deeply committed to serving those who are hurting.

Lately it seems like lots of Americans are moving abroad. But, believe it or not, some American expats are moving back to the States. Today we're joined by one such ex-expat, or repatriate. Seattle-native Brie Ripley has been on the show before. We first interviewed her back in 2024 after she moved to Rome without ever having been there before. She joined us again about sixe months later, after she had settled in. And today we sit down with her to talk about why she and her husband decided to move back to the US and what it's been like to repatriate at such a time in history. She reminisces about the things she misses about Rome, discusses what led to the decision to leave that sometimes feels like a mistake, and shares her thoughts about what it feels like to leave a place just as you're starting to feel at home now. She also talks about what it feels like to move back to a country that in many ways you can't recognize, how her priorities have shifted after living in Europe, and the realities of culture shock.
