THE SEVEN Seven souls. One final chance for humanity. In a divine test that will determine mankind's fate, seven individuals from across the globe are chosen to represent humanity. Their judges? Not God, not angels, but the creatures who have served mankind since the dawn of civilization - horses. These majestic beings have carried humans through history, and now they must decide if humanity deserves to continue its journey. This profound tale explores the deep connection between humans and animals, the choices that define us, and the ultimate question: Has humanity strayed too far from its purpose to be saved? "The Seven" is a powerful story of redemption, second chances, and the extraordinary bond between humans and the creatures who know our hearts better than we know ourselves.   ABOUT THE AUTHOR Alison Gieschen is an award-winning author, lifelong sailor, and horsewoman whose life story is as epic as the novels she writes. A former schoolteacher and graduate of the University of North Carolina Charlotte, Alison spent 30 years running an internationally successful equestrian program on her family farm in New Jersey. After raising three children with her husband Dan—whom she met during a sailboat race—they sold everything they owned to pursue their shared dream of circumnavigating the globe aboard their 43-foot sailboat. To date, Alison and Dan have traveled to 46 countries and recently crossed the Panama Canal, setting their course for the remote islands of French Polynesia. Her time at sea and her deep connection with both horses and people across cultures have inspired a powerful body of work spanning children's literature, memoir, and adult fiction. Her books include the Rising Star Award-winning novel Blue Ridge, the magical children's stories The Legend of Altor and Julia's Vaulting Dream, and the nonfiction sailing memoir Riding the Waves of Reality: Tales of Turmoil and Triumph—with a sequel on the way. Her latest release, The Seven, is a sweeping and soul-stirring novel that blends fantasy with deeply rooted real-world experience. The story follows seven humans and seven horses in a tale that spans continents and cultures, asking one pivotal question: Can the hearts of a few determine the fate of all humanity? Alison is also preparing to release her newest children's fantasy, Seanna: A Mermaid's Tale—a story especially close to her heart. As someone who has always felt a magical connection to the sea and its mythical creatures, Alison brings the underwater world to life in this early reader chapter book. The story is being brought to even greater life through the artwork of seven-time international award-winning illustrator Barbara Owczarek, whose stunning illustrations add an extra layer of magic and wonder. Through it all, Alison remains deeply connected to the world around her—from the sea life off her bow to the ancient cultures in the world's most remote places. Her journey is far from over, and with every mile sailed, a new story is waiting to be told. Learn more at https://alisongieschen.com. TOPICS OF CONVERSATION Origins of the Story – The Seven was inspired by a vivid dream involving horses that Alison couldn't shake. Role of Horses as Moral Judges – Horses serve as spiritual mirrors and judges because of their innate ability to sense authenticity and emotion. Character Development and Diversity – Each character is based on real-life experiences and represents different cultures, showing humanity's shared struggles. Emotional and Ethical Complexity – The book explores gray areas of morality, where judgment isn't black and white, especially in the human-horse confrontations. Themes of Disconnection and Hope – The story critiques modern disconnection while offering a message of hope, transformation, and reconnection with what truly matters. CONNECT WITH ALISON GIESCHEN!

Prophecy Radio episode #130 sees Karen and Kristen discussing the next two chapters of Percy Jackson and the Chalice of the Gods. They also discuss Walker Scobell's comments about the upcoming Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:09:14) We kick off the episode talking about our anticipation (or lack thereof) for the Super Bowl, plus our excitement for Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros. Have you ever listened to a graphic audio before? Do you have a spreadsheet for all the books you're reading this year? Happy belated birthday to Walker Scobell! Filming for season 2 has officially wrapped, and we speculate about the possible release date. Walker won the Rising Star Award at the 2025 SCAD TVfest! Speaking with TV Insider, Walker says the beginning of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 will start in a slightly different place from the book—but we're not worried. We're so ready for more action in season 2, and we're excited to see what more they add to the show that isn't in the books. Sometimes we forget how long it takes for Annabeth and Percy to actually get together. They have a looooong road ahead of them. Tyson is SO important to this series, and it sounds like Daniel Diemer has impressed Diehard Percy Jackson Fan Walker Scobell. We're also excited there will be more practical sets, and we're curious how the Volume will come into play this season. Could we see Director Walker Scobell some day!? Rick answered some questions on Goodreads recently, and he's said Clarisse will have a sizeable role in season 2 and that Dior is bringing her A game! Chalice of the Gods discussion (00:22:05) Okay, let's jump into Chalice of the Gods chapter 30. Where did we last leave Percy and where is he headed now? Percy takes in the sights as he heads toward the kitchen. Did we see the street-cleaning rhinoceros in the TV show? We're obsessed with the fact that satyrs give botanical directions. Percy is smart to question why the gods have kitchens full of staff, and the reason makes SO MUCH SENSE. Did you catch the Ghostbusters reference!? It must be so uncomfortable to sweat Greek Fire. There was A LOT of detailed description in this chapter. How many of you knew what a conversation pit was? We play a pretty easy game of Two Truths and a Lie. It's time to talk about our favorite lines and favorite moments from this chapter! Next up, Chalice of the Gods chapter 31. It might be cliché, but hiding under the pastry cart as his new BFF Barbara wheels him into the banquet hall works wonders. And in exchange, all Percy has to do is provide Barbara with an Annabeth Chase meet-and-greet opportunity. Do nymphs and dryads see demigods as celebrities? What's scarier—facing down a lion or Percy's future mother-in-law? Really, Athena spotting him is best-case scenario because any of the others might've caused trouble for Percy. We appreciate that Rick doesn't shy away from how gross Zeus actually is. Imagine what TOO MUCH praise would mean to Ganymede? Did you figure out what a demi-bag was? Did we want more of a scene in the banquet? Would it have worked out for Percy if there was more of a confrontation? Sometimes Percy is a little lucky! Time for our favorite lines and favorite moments from this chapter. Feedback (00:57:06) Solomon wonders if Annabeth could give Percy his third quest. It's an interesting question, and we have a theory of our own! Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 131, where we'll discuss the latest Percy Jackson news, along with Chalice of the Gods chapters 32 and 33. This episode's hosts are: Karen and Kristen Each episode, Prophecy Radio‘s hosts will discuss any official news coming out of Camp Half-Blood before doing a chapter by chapter reread of Percy Jackson or one of Rick Riordan's other series.

Join us for the first of our two-part special podcast shows, recorded live at the International Lewy Body Dementia Conference in Amsterdam! In this episode postdoc researcher Dr Josh Harvey (University of Exeter) is joined by three expert guests:

Dr. Michael Treadway is the Winship Distinguished Research Professor in Psychology and Director of Clinical Training in the Department of Psychology at Emory University. He is also affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory. One of the aims of Michael's lab is to investigate how the brain makes decisions about where to invest your effort and whether something you want is worth the work it will take to get it. The second aim of Michael's research is to examine this process in people with conditions like major depression. His goal is to understand how the relevant circuitry in the brain typically works, and how the circuitry changes in depression, leading to a different set of decisions. This work has the potential to help identify new targets for interventions. Outside of science, Michael and his wife love spending time with their two young children and playing games together, particularly card games. He also enjoys playing the piano, listening to music, and going to live music performances. Michael received his PhD in clinical psychology from Vanderbilt University and completed his clinical internship and post-doctoral fellowship at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He joined the faculty at Emory in 2015. Michael has received numerous awards and honors in his career, including the Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution in the area of Psychopathology from the American Psychological Association (APA), the Randolph Blake Early Career Award from Vanderbilt University, the Janet Taylor Spence Award for Transformative Early Career Contributions from the Association for Psychological Science (APS), the Early Career Impact Award from the Federation of Associations in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (FABBS), and the Rising Star Award from the APS. In this interview, he shares more about his life and science. 

Josie Eastman was pulled into the boating industry by a family that believed she would bring a fresh and modern approach to it, and along with her strong organisational skills, business management training and team management abilities she hasn't looked back. Winning the Rising Star Award at the Raymarine Boat Builder Awards in Amsterdam in 2023 really put her Australian boat brand "Edencraft" on the world map which is her goal - to make Edencraft a world distributed brand. These strong and able to handle Australian conditions boats are based on an original hull design the story of which includes drug cartels and murder intrigue. It's a boat brand grown men aspire to and even shed a tear for. Listen as I explore with Josie her career trajectory and her passion for a brand that she holds with great pride and ambition to truly bring to all of those that have a love for fishing all over the world. There are some great marketing tips for all boat businesses (how to get kids hounding their parents to buy boats) and some truly inspirational moments for all women looking to enter or further their career in the boating industry in this podcast.

In this conversation, we hear from founder and Executive Director Joan Liu who discusses the origin and mission of Second Chance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping international students secure last-minute scholarships for higher education. The initiative began in response to a crisis where students lost their scholarships unexpectedly. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community support, innovative thinking, and the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of international education. Joan Liu is the Founder and Executive Director of Second Chance. She has been a college counselor for the past 22 years, across various public and private schools in the US, UK, Turkey, and Singapore. She has devoted her career to helping students go to college in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and other countries. An industry expert in financial aid and scholarships, she is a fierce advocate of international students seeking access to higher education. Joan is known for her work in 2018 when she mobilized the Nepal Justice League, a pro-bono team of counselors to support the 60 Nepali students who had lost their scholarships from the University of Texas at Tyler (due to a budget error on UT Tyler's part). She galvanized a global movement amongst the international counseling community, and she and her team re-seat 56 students at new universities in the US, Canada, Middle East, and East Asia, with 10+ million in financial aid and scholarships, and raised 180K in gap funding - after the US cycle had finished that year. Joan has been the recipient of industry awards: NACAC's Rising Star Award (2016); International ACAC's Distinguished Service Award (2017); CIS's Peggy Templeton Award, an international award recognizing one counselor in the world annually (2017). In 2021, she and the Nepal Justice League team were awarded NACAC's Joyce E Smith Award, an award given to those who “have improved the field of education and the way students are served” (2020). In 2021, she served on the President's Alliance for Higher Education and Immigration Pathways for Refugees Task Force, for the US.

Growing up in the Australian country town of Albury, Zarlie Goldsworthy always had a love for any sport she could get her hands on. In fact, it was soccer that she had fallen in love with from a young age. But after moving to the city when she was just 15, she associated burnout with soccer and lost her passion for the game. But it was moving back to Albury that helped her re-find her love for Aussie rules. She was the GWS Giants first draft pick in 2022, and capped off her 2023 season as the Giant's youngest ever club champion. That same year, at just 18 years old, she picked up the League's Rising Star Award. Zarlie is now rounding out her third year of AFLW and is making her presence known across the park. This chat proves that if you have that passion and drive, then you don't need a backup plan. We hope you enjoy it. The Female Athlete Project is excited to announce the 2024 TFAP Awards. These awards are set to amplify, recognise and celebrate Australian athletes' achievements in sports. Voting is open NOW: https://www.thefemaleathleteproject.com/awards Buy our kids book The A to Z of Who I Could Be, or book for adults GIRLS DON'T PLAY SPORT. www.thefemaleathleteproject.com/shop Get the wrap delivered into your inbox as a weekly newsletter!

In the latest episode of the FemCity Podcast, FemCity COO, Lynn Pelzer, is joined by FemCity Founder's Member and CEO and Creative Leader of Aurora Design Inc . Melissa shares with us about empowering excellence: An Owners Guide to Building Team Culture. About Melissa Tossell //  Even though her grandfather's family business was construction (they called it carpentry), it was her father's influence of fixing their own home (even re-roofing their house in the desert heat- ask her about it sometime!) up with minor repairs and her creativity, intelligence, and love of story-telling that led her to consider the career of architecture and design. Out of kismet came a college campus visit to find a career that united her two sides- practical and creative. She found a knack for guiding and helping clients through the entire renovation process- being able to balance pushing their boundaries into what they love with handling the nitty gritty details like permits, contractors, and detailed designs.  Today she takes great joy in her work and passionately supports her community through volunteerism (a requirement for everyone at Sanura Design)- both every Monday at Furniture Bank and through her association ARIDO. She also mentors students and those starting their careers, and is an author and paid speaker educating the public on design and beyond. In her free time she's gaming (board, video, and D&D), crafting, hiking, or enjoying a movie (probably popcorn variety!). Spiritually speaking, she identifies as a deep Empath, and has other fun abilities, like the ability to channel (speak with those in the spirit world). If you ever want to know more, just ask her!.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Sam Tompkins over Zoom video!Highly acclaimed British singer-songwriter Sam Tompkins releases his eagerly anticipated debut album hi, my name is insecure via Republic Records. Also released today is his brand new single ‘almost killed me'.Listen to hi, my name is insecure HEREListen to ‘almost killed me' HEREhi, my name is insecure is the sum of years of hard work from Sam as he builds his dream body of work, incorporating tracks which are already fan favorites alongside exciting new material. The album, out today, also sees Sam team up with writer Pablo Bowman (Calvin Harris, James Arthur, Jonas Brothers) as well as writer and producer Danny Casio (Little Mix, Joy Crookes, Tom Grennan, Rudimental). The album includes hit tracks ‘someone else', ‘time will fly', ‘see me', ‘lose it all', ‘phones in heaven' and ‘numb'.The title of the album, hi, my name is insecure, speaks to Sam's more introverted side as he explains, “I really like being in the company of my friends, but if you take me out of my comfort zone, and have me hang out at a party or an event or whatever, I just go inside myself and I find any excuse to get out of it.”The newly released single, ‘almost killed me', delves into the turbulent and confused emotions of a break-up, with Sam's raspy tones and pop-rock guitar riff bringing energy and grit to the tune. Produced by Matthew Koma (PINK/Britney Spears) and co-written by Caroline Pennell (Demi Lovato, Ava Max, Zara Larrson), speaking on the single Sam says: "Almost Killed Me is all about those times when you've finally got out of a difficult relationship and you can see it for what it truly was. whether bad, toxic or just not meant to be. Sometimes it's the hope that kills you and that is what it's about. You really think you can make it work sometimes, but when it's over and you have time to sit with it, you can finally see the bigger picture. I love this song and am so excited for it to be heard!"If there's one thing Sam wants his fans to take away from his live show, or from his music, it's that a problem shared is a problem halved. Sam shares that “Whenever I talk about my problems in my songs, I feel like a weight has been lifted, because I know that I don't have to hide or be ashamed of that thing, and I want everyone else to feel that like there's nothing in this world that you might feel sad about that is shameful. In terms of mental health, there isn't anything you ought to shy away from, you should always let people know if you're struggling.”Since starting his musical journey at 16 years old busking on the streets of Brighton, Sam has gone on to sell out shows around the world and amass a dedicated and enraptured fanbase, cementing his reputation as one of the fastest-rising British male artists. He was hailed by the likes of GQ as “one of the UK's most exciting vocal talents of the moment”, CLASH's “the man of the moment” and last year was nominated for Rolling Stone's Rising Star Award. He's cultivated an incredible online community for millions to share their love of music and has received praise from high-profile artists including Drake, Fred again.., Justin Bieber, RAYE, Sam Smith and more.The future looks bright for Sam Tompkins as he looks ahead to supporting singer/songwriter Myles Smith on his North American tour throughout September and October, which sees Sam perform at sold-out shows across Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, West Hollywood, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, Saint Louis, and Kansas City. Tickets are on sale HERE. Not only this, but later this year Sam will also be heading out on his biggest EU and UK headline tour. The tour will see Sam perform across the UK and Europe throughout November and December. He will take to the stage in Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Bristol, Birmingham, Brighton, Bournemouth, Madrid, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Prague, Hamburg, Warsaw, Munich and Amsterdam. Tickets are on sale HEREChampioning authenticity without taking himself too seriously, and using his ever-growing platform to encourage others to do the same, Sam is an artist apart.We want to hear from you!

Courtney McLeod is the founder and principal of Right Meets Left Interior Design, an award-winning, full-service design studio located in the heart of the Flatiron District in Manhattan.She has been included on the Elle Decor A-List since 2022 and the 1stDibs Top 50 Interior Designers List. She received the Rising Star Award by the DDB in 2022 and was named an Emerging Designer To Watch by Luxe Magazine in 2019. Her work is featured in the books “By Design: The World's Best Contemporary Interior Designers” published by Phaidon, “Living to the Max“ published by Gestanlten, and “Live Colorfully” published by House Beautiful. She has been featured in print editorials both in the US and abroad - including House Beautiful, Luxe Interiors + Design, Modern Luxury, The Wall Street Journal, and the cover of Aspire Design + Home. Courtney is a Trustee of the New York School of Interior Design. Prior to founding the firm Courtney earned a business degree from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and pursued a successful 15-year career in the financial services industry. Taking the tremendous skills gained through her experience and enhancing them with design-related studies at Parsons, Pratt, and the New York School of Interior Design, she confidently embarked on a new course and has never looked back.  She feels truly blessed to successfully pursue her second act and live her passion.     Courtney resides in the vibrant Harlem neighborhood, a wonderful source of inspiration. She has lived in New York City for over two decades, but remains a Southerner at heart.   Takeaways Being on a TV show can be a challenging experience, requiring designers to give up control and adapt to unexpected changes. Balancing business and the demands of production can be difficult, especially when it comes to managing timelines and installations. Budget constraints and unexpected surprises are common in design projects, and designers often have to make compromises. Trusting your designer and allowing them to work their craft is important for a successful project. Collaboration between architects and interior designers from the beginning of a project is crucial for a smooth and cohesive design. https://www.rightmeetsleftdesign.com/ https://www.instagram.com/rightmeetsleftinteriordesign/

Women in midlife have so many things that are changing in our lives: our hormones, our families (empty nest, parents that need more support, and for many that impacts our primary relationship), we want more from our friendships, and are starting to ask the big questions, like, "What IS my purpose here?" By focusing on our health, we can uncover so much self-empowerment.  Learn more at https://elizabethsherman.com/ About FemCity // Join FemCity with a complimentary Community Membership!It's the perfect way to sample our Membership, attend local events, meet FemCity Founder, Violette de Ayala and see if the FemCity vibe is a good fit for you.

Tune in to the latest episode of the FemCity Podcast, where FemCity CEO Violette de Ayala sits down with Dr. Cristie Ritz-King, a member of the FemCity Founder's Circle, and trauma therapist, maternal mental health specialist, and mindfulness teacher. Together, they delve into the crucial topic of maternal mental health, exploring the realities of burnout and offering valuable insights and strategies. Don't miss this empowering and informative conversation! Dr. Cristie Ritz King // Cristie Ritz-King, is a Doctor of Psychology with a specialty in trauma and postpartum maternal mental health.

And if that is happening, then inevitably there will be new opportunities where investment will be going instead of coming to oil and gas.So, it was driven by old follow the money situation. And if the investors are thinking and investing in sustainable projects, in green energy, or any other options rather than oil and gas, then probably this is where I need to be.Excellence in expertise requires industry and world awareness09:39: It doesn't matter how good you are at what you do. You need to understand what is happening across the industry and what is happening in the world, as well. Geoscience is not limited13:28: Geoscience is not limited. It's not just we are so technical we can do one thing. We can actually do many, many things. This would be probably if any other prospective student's thinking about changing their profession, thinking that they are very technical, as I was thinking before. You are not. Please don't be discouraged. You will learn ninety-nine percent of things you will learn is new, but the application of the things that you will learn, you are doing today. So, this will just help you and expand your horizons, but it will not be completely pushing you towards the unknown. So, don't be discouraged.On being a woman in the STEM industry16:32: I never felt like, because of the woman, I could not do something. It's never, never on my radar. And maybe because I didn't think that the people around me who I work with didn't think that either. I was just able to filter out whatever would be offensive or sensible for other people. You just learn to do that, and push forward.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profile:Diana Khandilyan | Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University Diana Khandilyan LinkedIn 

Today we welcome Michael Slepian to the podcast. Michael is the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia University. A recipient of the Rising Star Award from the Association for Psychological Science, he is the leading expert on the psychology of secrets. He's authored more than fifty articles on secrecy, truth, and deception. Michael's research has been covered by The New York Times, The Atlantic, NPR, BBC, The Wall Street Journal and more. He is the author of The Secret Life of Secrets. In this episode, I talk to Michael Slepian about the psychology of secrets. Everyone has secrets that they keep from others—how does this affect our relationships and well-being? According to Michael, maintaining privacy is not the most burdensome aspect. Carrying a secret all by ourselves is what weighs us down. Michael and I explore the different categories of secrets and we talk about when to reveal the deepest parts of ourselves and who to reveal them to. We also touch on the topics of personality, morality, trauma, developmental psychology and communication. Website: michaelslepian.comTwitter: @michaelslepian Topics02:04 Michael's family secret05:38 Defining secrecy11:12 Correlation of personality with secret keeping13:01 Revealing secrets18:56 Categories of secrets24:31 Healthy communication with children29:50 Morality of secret keeping34:20 Jamie Kunz and Dale Coventry's secret36:27 Journaling and emotional support40:25 Three dimensions of secrets44:09 How to deflect direct questions46:05 Sharing secrets anonymously47:46 Secret joys
