It can be scary, difficult and complicated, but it doesn't always have to be. … Lung cancer is the No. 1 cause of cancer deaths — not just because of its aggressive nature, but because it's also frequently diagnosed late. But why?

Send us a textSpace allows growth, distance brings longing, separation enriches trust and the maintenance of individuality nourishes self-respect to allow wholesome people to come together to form a bond of love and understanding. We must allow our true selves to shine at its best to complement the relationships that we decide to form with others.

Quiet and unassuming, Grand Rapids, Michigan post-hardcore outfit LA Dispute are a volcanic force of musical nature, shunning expectations in favour of experimentation and personal growth.Over four full length albums, the band have pushed themselves in whatever direction their music has led them, incorporating new soundscapes, tones and structures into a genre of music that is supposed to be more regimented. The fact LA Dispute have an ever-growing fan base that has supported their every musical whim speaks volumes for individuality and expression, in a time where it is often easier and less confronting to toe the company line in terms of musical output.This year, the band celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the groundbreaking album Rooms Of The House in the best way they know how - by taking it to the masses. Well, masses in terms of geographical spread, but more articulated when it comes to actual location.Rather than embark on another exhausting full run of shows, LA Dispute have elected to play just five shows in various countries around the world that represent and having meaning for the band. Dubbed the 2024 Five Nights Only Tour, it has already passed through London, Amsterdam and Berlin, with only Grand Rapids (September 28) and Australia (November 22) to conquer.HEAVY caught up with vocalist Jordan Dreyer to talk more.We engaged in a lively discussion about the band's recent performances in London, Amsterdam, and Berlin, as well as their upcoming show in Australia. Jordan shared his enthusiasm for connecting with audiences and reflected on the therapeutic nature of performing songs from the Rooms of the House album, which have evolved in meaning through personal experiences. He also highlighted the intentional flow of their records, making it easier to perform the entire album live. The conversation shifted to their decision to record their next album in Sydney, influenced by their bandmate's connections and a desire for experimentation in a new environment.Jordan spoke about the band's intention to remain in Sydney to work on their next album and noted it may adopt a darker tone, reflecting global tensions, while incorporating elements from previous works.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

A social worker by training, Hannah worked on social issues such as housing, incarceration, and access to higher education before joining Room To Breathe. There she provides individual and group therapy, focusing primarily on trauma healing; perinatal mental health; parenting/caregiving; identity exploration for people of color; and neurodiversity. She is a graduate of RTB's psychologically sensitive yoga teacher training and teaches a weekly online class. In both yoga and therapy, Hannah and Room To Breathe emphasize accessibility, autonomy, and the importance of participants building an internal sense of safety. By prioritizing “function over form,” participants have the space to explore the sensation of postures and experiences without the pressure of achieving a particular form or outcome. Practicing these values in the yoga and therapy spaces changes the power dynamic in the room and can be a tool for healing for folks that have had their choice taken away from them. Hannah and Room To Breathe know that these are practices that benefit everyone, not just those that identify with a trauma history, and hope that both participants and practitioners can learn how psychologically sensitive care can benefit everyone.Consider supporting the podcast for $5 though BuyMeACoffeeSupport the Show.Support the Show.

Yo what's up this is toru and in a way so are you. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a music producer, artist, and entrepreneur.I make music for that space between the dance floor and the bedroom, which, as of this moment, I am grateful to say has been streamed millions of times and licensed by brands big and small, including companies like Apple.I believe that regardless of what you produce, whether it be music, art, physical goods, or even spreadsheets, you have a process, whether you know it or not.To explore this further, I created The ProducerHead Podcast.ProducerHead is a place to have conversations with Producers about their experience and process to share what works and what doesn't. To help each of us learn and improve our own processes.Today's guest is JustJared, a New Jersey-based producer who has built an audience and grown a business through a body of work built on consistency. He offers sample packs as well as personal coaching to producers.Here are a few of the topics JustJared and I discuss during this conversation:Building an audience and growing your online presence.Strategies for recognizing content that you already have and are overlooking.The role of sustainability in consistency.Self-Limiting Beliefs.And the appreciation that the shortcut is the work.This conversation is packed with real tactical information for anyone interested in social media marketing. You can hear how much work and experiential learning Jared has accumulated through his years of creating content and building his business.I know that for me, it has served as a great reminder that we already have everything that we need to begin. That we begin where we are.The idea that I need to buy a new camera or piece of equipment may actually be a self-imposed limit that prevents me from moving forward.It prevents me from learning through action and where I am now.So, I hope that you take in this conversation and realize that wherever you are is the perfect place to begin, continue, and change.OK. With all that said, Episode four of ProducerHead with JustJared begins now…That's it for this episode of ProducerHead. Appreciate you coming through and being a part of it. My hope is that it helps you unlock a bit more creativity and find progress in a way that matters to you.Before we go:There are three simple and zero cost ways to support the ProducerHead Podcast.1 - Tap in and subscribe or follow wherever you're listening, whether it be Spotify or Apple.2- If you haven't already, drop a review on Apple or Spotify.

Clare was born in New York City yet her parents were originally from Ukraine. Rich is a very warm and caring son. Looking back, Rich would like to have asked his mom "what she was so worried about all the time."Looking back, my guest also has regrets for his mom's lack of happiness and wellbeing. As a teen he was more concerned with himself than the welfare of his mom. In hindsight,  he wishes she had taken better care of herself- had more friends, etc.As a young girl, Clare's mother, Rich's maternal grandmother, put a lot of pressure on Clare to practice her music. Clare was a phenomenal concert pianist.  She studied piano from a young age and within a few years she suddenly quit playing the piano, defiant to her mother's constant nagging.Rich's mom was overprotected and as he says "kind of spoiled." Interestingly enough, Clare was overprotected by her own mother and then did something similar to her only son. Rich refers to it as a "constant hovering."  As a result, Rich created his own  internal world  or a world of imagination which he found at the library and through books.   A college professor recognized that Rich  showed some true talent in his poetry and encouraged him to pursue it. Today, Rich is a poet and has almost one hundred poems published in the Monmouth Review (Monmouth University) and two in the International Journal of Poetry Therapy and several in other literary publications.Twenty years since his mom's death, he looks back fondly on his memories of his mom . His memories don't rattle him as much now. He's embracing the whole picture of her life and not just the last five years that she endured Alzheimer's. Poem#1  The Science of MedicinePoem #2  Bringing In The Tidehttps://www.amazon.com/Writing-Away-Demons-Creative-Transformative/dp/0878393293Richard's forthcoming book of poetry "Constellations" due to be published late 2022. "Constellations are our attempt to make sense of the universe.We create patterns in the sky, trying to understand what God might mean,and write our stories as if we knew.These poems are my constellations. The words are stars.May their light be a guide to find your way home."- Richard Fireman

Psalm 3 is the first actual prayer in the Book of Psalms. It is a cry for help in a desperate situation, teaching us how to pray when we face impossible situations, even if they are crises of our own making, looking to God who is our salvation. Want to study the themes in Psalm 3 further? Here are some passages and reflection questions to consider: Read 2 Samuel 15-18. How does Psalm 3 give you insight into David's mindset during one of the most difficult times of his life? How did God answer his prayer in Psalm 3? Consider an overwhelming situation you are facing now. How does knowing God is your shield, your glory, and the One who lifts your head bring you comfort? Read Psalm 35:3. How does knowing God is your salvation through Jesus encourage you right now? How can you pray Psalm 3 for someone facing an impossible situation this week? How will you pray it for yourself?
