What if nature and storytelling held the exact insight you needed to move forward? In this LIVE solo episode of The Robyn Ivy Podcast, Robyn invites you to gather around a virtual campfire as she shares reflections fresh from her recent trip to Colorado, where she presented at "Camp Is In Your Heart," a retreat centered around real connection, creative expression, and transformational presence. You'll hear heartfelt stories, insights from nature, and valuable  takeaways to help you reconnect to your own inner wisdom and sense of devotion. Whether you're crossing a threshold, navigating change, or simply ready to feel more grounded, this episode invites you back to what matters. Listen to what the trees out there had to tell her, be reminded about the joy that comes through playful connection, and why summer camp is still fun as an adult-maybe even more so. Robyn offers powerful reframes for transformation centered in the what and who we care most about. Plus, she'll walk you through a practical, heart-led exercise to clarify what you're ready to release and what you're being called to grow into. This episode is your invitation to pause, breathe, and honor the season you're in—with stories, laughter, and soulful reflection. Your 3 Key Takeaways • Connection resets everything: Real-life presence, laughter, and shared experiences reawaken our spirit and reconnect us to joy. • Nature is a wise teacher: From ancient trees to quiet moments in circle, nature reminds us of our resilience, our belonging, and the power of being witnessed. • Devotion > Discipline: Change isn't about pushing harder—it's about choosing what you're truly devoted to, and letting that guide your growth.

What if the turning of the season is the sign you've been waiting for? In this solo episode of The Robyn Ivy Podcast, Robyn explores what it means to step into your next chapter, especially in midlife and beyond. Recorded around the Fall Equinox, this conversation uses the wisdom of seasonal shifts to help you reflect on what you're truly ready to release and what your wiser self is longing to embrace. You've likely been feeling the quiet tug toward something new or the call for something more..more meaning, clarity, and joy but don't want all the depletion and effort you  Whether you're shifting your identity, career, creativity, or direction, Robyn invites you to pause and consider: What are you done with? And what are you ready to grow into?. She shares true stories that illuminate the very real tension between where you've been and where you're going. This episode offers you valuable insights and practical tools for moving forward without the burnout or hustle. You'll leave with a powerful journaling exercise, a reminder that the discomfort of change is normal, and an invitation to join her in Your Next Chapter- a 4 month group immersion for women ready to lead with clarity, courage, and self-trust. Your 3 Key Takeaways • Clarity starts with releasing: Before you can move into what you want, you must acknowledge what you're ready to let go of. This clears space for clarity and desire to emerge. • Change requires a new identity: If you want a different result, you need to become the person who can hold it. This means shifting not just habits, but self-belief. • Community changes everything: You don't have to navigate transitions alone. Surrounding yourself with the right support and honest conversations makes the process more easeful, grounded, and successful. Honest reflection, grounded tools, and a timely reminder: You don't have to wait for January. Your next chapter starts now.

We're back with another cult favorite—House (1985)!

From its over-the-top creature designs to its unexpected themes of grief and trauma, this is a film that deserves another look. And as always—you can shape the average score.

In this uplifting solo episode, Robyn explores what it truly means to practice and restore hope—especially in a world that can feel disorienting, overwhelming, or stuck. Prompted by a conversation with a friend who simply asked, "Can you talk about hope?" Robyn shares stories, reflections, and tangible practices to help you stay grounded, soft-hearted, and purpose-driven through uncertain seasons. You'll hear her reflect on last year's Restoring Hope gathering, the collective sense of fatigue and longing that many women in midlife are feeling now, and why hope is something we actively participate in—not something we wait around for. Robyn invites you into real-life practices to reconnect with your own sense of aliveness, wisdom, and devotion to what matters most. She also shares details on two opportunities for deeper support:

In this episode of The Way We See It, Alex sits down with Steve Rook, CEO of Sunrise Lawn and Tree in Nixa, Missouri. As part of our Christian Businessman Series, Steve shares how he integrates faith, leadership, and service into his work as a business owner and community leader. From humble beginnings to running a successful company, Steve opens up about the values that drive him, the lessons he's learned in business, and the importance of honoring God through every decision. Whether it's navigating challenges, managing employees, or raising a family—Steve reminds us that faith isn't something you add to your life… it's the foundation.

The group returns to Kin'Cadine in search of information about a vulture clan- witnessing Sarniñan justice on the way. Later, Rook learns that having fun ain't hard when you got a library card.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Marco Benitez, CEO and founder of ROOK, a company revolutionizing how wearable health data is integrated and used. Marco opens up about his entrepreneurial journey, from growing up in Mexico to moving his family to the U.S. to pursue bigger opportunities. He reflects on how his first startup shaped his path, how COVID-19 became the catalyst for ROOK's pivot, and the game-changing moment when their very first insurance client validated their API solution.Marco shares how Rook enables insurance companies, digital health platforms, and remote patient monitoring providers to seamlessly access data from over 300 wearables through a single API. By standardizing and harmonizing this information, ROOK helps organizations unlock clean, structured insights without the hassle of building multiple integrations. A self-proclaimed wearable geek, Marco also talks about his personal favorites, from Ōura to Whoop to Apple Watch, and how lifestyle shapes the value these devices provide.

Featuring the debut of my newest offer: Life Support – Your Next Chapter Lately, I've been thinking a lot about what it really means to feel connected—and how easy it is to lose touch with that when life gets busy or noisy. In this solo episode, I share some reflections on how easy it is to miss real-life connection in the name of convenience or habit. A moment on a Boston sidewalk—where I almost complimented someone's T-shirt but held back because of earbuds—got me thinking about how much we lose when we're not fully present. From stories about life before smartphones to sitting with my favorite backyard tree, this episode is an invitation to check back in with your own sense of aliveness. I talk about how tech has shifted the way we relate, how much we're actually craving meaningful conversation and community, and why now might be the right time to re-ground yourself in what really matters. I also share a bit about Life Support—my new guided group for women who are navigating change and want more clarity, connection, and support.

In today's thought-provoking episode of The Atheist Experience, Forrest Valkai and Deconstruction Zone Justin dive into the persistence of bad arguments, the misinterpretation of scientific findings, and the profound impact of beliefs on personal and societal well-being.Rook in NY posits that belief in God isn't inherently bad, suggesting that in a "perfect world," individuals could hold such beliefs privately without negative consequences. Justin and Forrest counter that religious beliefs inevitably influence behavior and policy, citing historical examples of religiously motivated oppression and arguing that even private beliefs can hinder personal growth and societal progress, as beliefs don't stay in a vacuum. Rook ultimately acknowledges his point's shortcomings upon deeper scrutiny. What are the broader implications of beliefs that remain unchallenged?Simone in United Kingdom presents a syllogism, arguing that if thoughts are part of reality and we think God exists, then God exists as part of that reality. The hosts challenge this, asking if imagining a creature means it truly exists, and if this is a genuine reason for belief or a fear of hell. Simone reveals she is still in the early stages of deconstructing her Christian upbringing and has more questions than answers. How does one navigate a deconstruction journey when fundamental beliefs are questioned?Brisbane in AZ questions satanic atheism, claiming an AI overview suggests it promotes self-indulgence and a rejection of altruism. Forest refutes this by reading the Satanic Temple's actual tenets, which include compassion and justice, and critiques Brisbane's reliance on inaccurate AI summaries over primary sources. The discussion highlights the dangers of trusting AI for complex information and the importance of critical thinking in evaluating belief systems. What role should AI play in informing one's understanding of complex philosophical or religious concepts?Robert in GA challenges the hosts on Jesus's fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and asserts that the complexity of life necessitates a creator, claiming the Big Bang violates thermodynamics. Justin explains how Robert's cited prophecies are taken out of context and not messianic, while Forest refutes the scientific claims, pointing to evolution and the accurate understanding of thermodynamics. The hosts urge Robert to engage with actual scientific and biblical scholarship rather than relying on misinformed arguments. How do individuals overcome ingrained misinformation when seeking truth?Hindu in India argues that consciousness, rather than emerging from the brain, is an ultimate reality of the universe, aligning with the Vedic concept of Brahman. Justin and Forest press for empirical evidence, pointing to how brain modifications alter personality, contradicting the idea of consciousness as an external driver. The hosts emphasize that materialism offers an evidence-based framework for consciousness, while idealism often relies on presuppositions. What scientific breakthroughs would truly bridge the gap between materialist and idealist views of consciousness?Robin in FL shares a family claim that a "spark of life" at conception, supposedly visible during horse breeding, proves the existence of a soul. Justin and Forest clarify that this "spark" is a scientific observation of zinc release during fertilization, not a visible soul, often misinterpreted from studies on mice. They question the logical extensions of this argument, such as mice having souls, and the implications for asexual reproduction. How do scientific findings become distorted and adopted into religious or spiritual narratives?Chris in KS raises the question of circular reasoning in Old Testament prophecies applied to Jesus, particularly Isaiah 7. Justin affirms this circularity, explaining that such prophecies often require secondary interpretations not supported by their original context, challenging the criteria for true prophecy. Forest then discusses gender, distinguishing it from sex as a fluid, socially constructed spectrum not bound by a binary, and encourages self-reflection for deeper understanding. How can an individual reconcile deeply held religious beliefs with evolving scientific and social understandings?Thank you so much Richard for being here thank you Forest and thank you crew we'll see you again next week uh same time same place 5:30 uh Eastern time 4:30 Central time bye!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-atheist-experience--3254896/support.

Caught up with this guy Ellis Bullard for a songwriter's set at the Rook and he's on my show this week. I promise you won't forget this voice, and he's got the guitar chops too It's always such a treat for me to introduce to our listeners why Texas has made such a great name in music across our country and the world. Ellis has a true honky tonk vibe that you'll recognize from some of our iconic treasures of the past. He comes from a family of entertainers. With a mom who sang out of Muscle Shoals , a Dad who played dancehalls & a great grandfather guitarist who shared the stage with Chet Atkins, he's paved his own way as a songwriter with tunes like “ Honkey Tonk Ain't Noise pollution” and “ chasing numbers” keeping his authentic rule of relevance to where we are in the music scene these days. I'm convinced he's gonna be a household name soon- certainly in Texas   Originally aired 09/07/2025 on 95.3 FM KHYI the Range in Dallas, TX.

When what once worked… no longer fits. You've built a life that looks good on paper-but something inside you knows you're meant for more. Not more hustle, but more depth. Not more strategy, but more alignment. It's a threshold—and how you move through it changes everything. In this potent solo episode, I'm naming the exact moment many high-level leaders reach but rarely talk about: the quiet, restless, in-between place where your old identity no longer fits, but your next chapter hasn't fully emerged. Through stories, insight, and experience from coaching top performers and creatives, I offer a fresh way to approach growth, not as self-improvement, but as honest evolution. You'll learn: How to recognize and navigate threshold moments in life, leadership, and creativityWhy setting 3 clear parameters can radically increase momentum and decision-making clarityWhat kind of support actually works when you're already successful—but seeking something deeperWhy finding a “truth-telling space” (outside your usual circles) is essential to keep growing with integrity. Whether you're expanding, plateauing, or just craving a new kind of freedom—this episode offers a space to pause, reflect, and reimagine what's possible.

After a long break, The Rook and Nate catch up talking college summer leagues, the death of quality starts, a couple All B-Side Teams, and glorious news from space.

Your heroes return to discuss Rook: Exodus! "Hundreds of years from now, the man known as Rook was once a simple farmer who fled the crumbling Earth for a new life. He traveled to the planet Exodus, a terraformed world where all of nature, including its imported animal population, was completely controlled by humans called Wardens.But when Exodus's world engine failed, the Wardens' power fell into the wrong hands, creating chaos and mass evacuation…for those who could afford it. The rest, like Rook, must scavenge for an escape vessel as the war for control of what's left of Exodus begins."In this episode we chat about fantastic concept for the book, debate our favorite Wardens, and break down the story. As always you'll hear us cover the History of the Creators, Favorite Lines, The Art Awards, and Adaptation Alley. Rook: Exodus is written by Geoff Johns, art by Jason Fabok, colored by Brad Anderson, lettered by Rob Leigh, and published by Image Comics.Follow ComiClub on Instagram @ComiClubPodcast.ComiClub is hosted by Blaine McGaffigan and Adam Cook. 

In this week's solo episode, I'm diving deep into the noisy, messy world of our inner saboteurs — the critical, self-doubting, perfectionist parts that keep us spinning in circles, stuck in old stories, and wondering why change feels so hard. Marking the second anniversary of my mother's passing, I reflect on healing complicated relationships, the nature of forgiveness, and what it really takes to grow when you're still grieving.  You'll hear personal stories, hard-earned wisdom, and a real-time look at how I navigate the inner voices that try to hijack my progress and joy. Pulling from my work with clients, my own healing journey, and tools like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Voice Dialogue, I'll show you how to work with these parts — not by silencing or shaming them, but by meeting them with compassion and curiosity. If you've ever felt like your inner critic just won't quit…or like you keep getting in your own way… This episode is for you. 3 Takeaways from This Episode:

Church of Mabus_ Derek Rook - Gore Shriek Resurrectus

In this week's solo episode, I'm diving into a question I've been sitting with lately: Are we tolerating discomfort because it's familiar — or are we willing to choose a new kind of discomfort that could actually change our lives? After weeks of navigating illness, shifting plans, and a few humbling setbacks, I've had a front-row seat to the many forms of discomfort — physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. I share some of those stories with you in this episode, from parenting to natural childbirth to Lyme disease weight gain and even learning to golf in flip flops (yes, really). Here's the truth: if we want real change, we have to get better at being uncomfortable on purpose. Not just enduring hard things, but choosing the kind of challenge that sets us free. If you've been feeling stuck, burnt out, or craving something new — this one's for you.

As consumer wearables track everything from our heartbeats to nightly sleep cycles, a new industry has emerged—one focused on making sense of this avalanche of personal health data. In an era when prevention is prized over cure, questions abound: How accurate is the data captured on our wrists and fingers? Can these metrics truly guide us to longer, healthier lives, or are we just generating noise? For Marco Benitez, a biomedical engineer and co-founder of the health data platform Rook, the challenge isn't just about collecting the numbers but turning them into actionable insights—for both individuals and the broader healthcare world. As the medical establishment wrestles with integrating this torrent of information—and as users grapple with privacy and security—a revolution in health is quietly unfolding. Peter Bowes sat down with Benitez to discuss the promise and pitfalls of wearable data, the evolving relationship between Big Pharma and digital health, and what it will take to shift the system from sick care to prevention.___If you value our video and audio content, we would appreciate your support.Any contribution - large or small - is hugely appreciated and helps us to continue sharing insights that could help us all live longer and healthier lives.

Welcome back to The Robyn Ivy Podcast! In this week's solo episode, I'm sharing the one pattern I see holding so many of us back — and it's probably not what you think. I talk about the hidden “rackets” and self-sabotaging beliefs we carry, the ones that quietly run the show under the surface. These old stories — about needing to prove ourselves, be perfect, stay safe, or earn our worth — keep us stuck solving the wrong problems, over and over again. Like Sisyphus rolling that boulder uphill, we find ourselves exhausted, wondering why nothing ever really changes. I also share some highlights from my recent Kids Are Away retreat (including a magical sound bath with Karen Powers), the power of spontaneous healing, and what's coming up in Flow and my live weekly coaching sessions. If you've been craving real tools, real talk, and a real shift — this one's for you. 3 Takeaways from this Episode

The book club continues to navigate the terrors of hell, but this time with a surprise reunion from a real cowboy son of a bitch, and a real cowboy son of a son of a bitch.

It's been said that Muriel Spark's career was not so much a life as a plot, and she did indeed repeatedly reinvent herself, closing one chapter of her life and opening another, regardless of how many friends and business associates she abandoned along the way. This month the Slightly Foxed team were joined by Muriel Spark's biographer Martin Stannard, and Spark enthusiast Emily Rhodes of Emily's Walking Book Club, to discuss the work of this highly original and somewhat forgotten writer and learn how Muriel first invited Martin to write her biography and then did her best to prevent it seeing the light of day. Born in 1918, Muriel grew up in a working class family in Edinburgh – the setting for her most famous novel The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, which was based on a charismatic teacher at her own school. At the age of 19 she closed that chapter of her life by marrying an older maths teacher, Sydney Oswald Spark, known (appropriately) thereafter as SOS, and going with him to Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) where their son Robin was born. Unfortunately it soon became obvious that Sydney had severe psychiatric problems and in 1943 Muriel left husband and son and returned to London where she began her career as a novelist. Several times shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and much admired by Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene, Muriel produced 22 novels, most of them drawing on events in her own life. Everyone at the Slightly Foxed table had their favourites, including The Girls of Slender Means, A Far Cry from Kensington, Loitering with Intent, and Memento Mori, a clear eyed and also very funny look at old age. Everyone agreed on the brilliance of her writing with its dark humour, preoccupation with the supernatural and with the presence of evil in unlikely places. Her life was equally fascinating, moving from poverty to great wealth and success, and from the shabbier parts of London to intellectual life in New York centred on The New Yorker magazine, to which she became a contributor. In 1954 she was received into the Roman Catholic church and for some time she lived in Rome, relishing the glitter of Italian high society, finally settling in Tuscany with her friend Penelope Jardine, where she died in 2005. Summer reading recommendations included Caledonian Road by Andrew O'Hagan, Death at the Sign of the Rook by Kate Atkinson, Homework by Geoff Dyer and Of Thorn and Briar by Paul Lamb. Martin also praised Electric Spark, the new – and very different – biography of Muriel Spark by Frances Wilson. For episode show notes, please see the Slightly Foxed website.

Die gesondheidsminister dr. Esperance Luvindao het by die opening van die werkswinkel oor tabak- en alkoholbeheer in Windhoek gesê dat voorkoming beter is as behandeling, maar daar is nog baie om te doen. Die land het geen wetgewing rakende damprook nie en drank en dwelms bly ‘n reuse-uitdaging.

Rook and Ja'kier finally come down with a bit of a hangover, making their way to the starting area of the next trial they are given a bounty and told they need to find and bring this bounty back alive to pass. With only 6 days can they do it?

In today's episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Marco Benitez—a guest who brings together the worlds of Taekwondo and biomedical engineering! Marco is the founder of Rook, a "middleman" company specializing in connecting data from hundreds of wearables and medical devices. Drawing on his extensive background in sports and years in big pharma, Benitez discusses the challenges and opportunities in bridging data silos in the fitness, health, and insurance spaces. He also dives into the origins of Rook, the significance of B2B SaaS (Software as a Service) models, and the importance of building predictable, scalable solutions that empower organizations to actually use their data—not just collect it. Whether you're a fitness pro, entrepreneur, or just interested in the quickly evolving landscape of fit tech, this episode is packed with insights into how smart data integration is reshaping the way we approach the HALO space. (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoors)  On working in the enterprise space Marco mentions, "Working with enterprise clients . . . takes a lot of time to close deals but once they are closed, you will receive a lot of feedback, and you will be in the heart of their company. Because we are an API solution, we live 'inside' the platform . . . inside the app." Key themes discussed Importance and value of data integration. Rook's middleware solution for wearables. Challenges of connecting multiple wearable devices' data. Building and scaling a B2B SaaS company. Lessons from sports and long-term business growth. The evolving role of data in healthcare and insurance. Differentiating real, actionable intelligence from the AI hype. A few key takeaways:  1. Rook Connects Wearable Data Seamlessly: Rook acts as a middleware platform that allows companies to easily integrate and extract data from over 300 different wearables and medical devices. This solves a huge pain point for fitness apps, gyms, digital health, and insurance companies that need unified, standardized, and actionable user health data without having to build separate integrations for each device. 2. B2B SaaS with Active User Pricing: Rook is a B2B SaaS company, charging clients (gyms, fitness apps, insurers, etc) based on the number of active users accessing data through the platform. This recurring revenue model is 'sticky' and predictable, making it attractive for both business growth and investors, since switching out such a middleware solution tends to be costly and pretty disruptive for clients. 3. Wearables Becoming Medical Devices: The wearables ecosystem is quickly evolving, with many devices attaining FDA clearance. This means the data they provide is now medically credible and increasingly important for areas like digital health, fitness, and prevention-oriented insurance models—creating new demand for integration platforms. 4. Long-Term Perspective: Building to Become a Data Science Company: Benitez emphasizes the value of the long game—he compares entrepreneurship to earning a taekwondo black belt. Rook's long-term vision is to move beyond just delivering clean, structured data to offering actionable intelligence, insights, and predictive analytics to their clients. 5. Flexibility Driven by Customer Need: A key lesson? Rook's roadmap for integrating new wearables is customer-focused. Rather than chasing each new device that comes out, the team prioritizes devices with the most client demand and market share. This way, they deliver real value where it matters most, instead of losing focus.

Hey friend, welcome back. In this week's solo episode, I'm sharing a bit more of my backstory and what shaped me into who I was and became. You'll hear some of the triumphs and defeats in my own life that taught me how to think, feel, and heal.  With my kids away for a bit, I've had space to reflect and reset, and I wanted to bring you into that moment with me. This isn't just a personal update. It's a deeper dive into how I became the woman, coach, and creative catalyst I am today. I talk about growing up in a religious household, navigating trauma and depression, and how chronic suicidal ideation has shaped my perspective in both quiet and powerful ways. But this is not a heavy episode. It's real. It's hopeful. It's a reminder that healing isn't about erasing the past — it's about reclaiming yourself through it.

What if the belonging you've been craving isn't about fitting in—but about showing up as yourself? In this episode, I'm joined by my longtime friends and collaborators Tori and Shannon for an honest, laughter-filled conversation about Camp Is In Your Heart—a one-of-a-kind gathering designed to spark connection, creativity, and community for adults. We share stories from camp, behind-the-scenes details (including the handmade swag bags), and reflect on how meaningful spaces for growth and friendship have evolved over the years. Whether you're camp-curious, looking for deeper connections, or simply craving space to feel seen and supported, this conversation reminds you that camp isn't just a weekend—it's a feeling you carry with you.

This week before the 3rd trial starts while waiting on Rook and Ja'kier to awaken Barin and Monryx reminisce on their childhood and growing up in the Guild.

What if your next season of growth is already waiting—it's just about timing? In this solo episode, I'm coming to you from my screen porch with reflections on summer, the art of becoming, and how life is always inviting us to ask: What's ripe right now? From black raspberries to life lessons, we explore the natural rhythm of rest, renewal, and the moments that call us toward discipline, leadership, and showing up for the life we actually want. I share stories, honest insights, and practical wisdom for navigating change, building resilience, and making sure you're ready for the next chapter—even when it feels hard. Whether you're craving space to slow down or feeling the nudge to rise up, this conversation will help you meet yourself with more compassion, clarity, and courage.

What if the key to freedom isn't doing more—but staying curious? In this special episode, I'm joined by my oldest son, Rook Wild, (24) for one of our favorite morning rituals: a wide-ranging, soul-nourishing coffee chat. As Rook prepares to head off on new adventures, we sit down to talk about the dance between discipline and freedom, the joy of staying curious, and the surprising lessons we've learned from nature, tradition—and even sheepskins. You'll hear stories of Rook's recent journey processing rare Navajo Churro sheepskins (yes, they're as magnificent as they sound), our thoughts on sustainability, responsible living, and whether or not we think routines can actually create more space for spontaneity and creativity. Whether you're craving a real life style conversation, want to hear the kind of stuff we talk about together over coffee or just need a reminder that life doesn't have to be perfectly planned to be beautiful—this episode is for you.
