Furf and Monty are back with another Pulm PEEPs Pearls episode. The topic of today’s discussion is an often discussed, but often misunderstood, test; the methacholine challenge. They’ll review when to utilize this test, how it should be performed, and the appropriate interpretation. Contributors This episode was prepared with research by Pulm PEEPs Associate Editor George Doumat. Dustin Latimer, another Pulm PEEPs Associate Editor, assisted with audio and video editing. Key Learning Points What the Test Measures Methacholine challenge is a direct bronchial provocation test of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), a core physiologic feature of asthma. Anyone will bronchoconstrict at high enough concentrations — the test looks for an abnormal threshold. The key endpoint is the PC20: the methacholine concentration causing a 20% fall in FEV1. Abnormal in adults: PC20 ≤ 8–16 mg/mL Test Performance Meta-analyses: pooled sensitivity ~60%, specificity ~90%. Real-world cohorts: sensitivity 55–62%, specificity 56–100% (varies by population, protocol, and threshold used). Not a standalone yes/no test — best used as part of a broader diagnostic pathway. Where It Fits in the Asthma Workup The test belongs in a stepwise approach: Step 1: Spirometry + bronchodilator response Step 2: Add FeNO and/or peak flow variability (if available) Step 3: If the picture is still unclear → methacholine challenge It is most useful for symptomatic patients with normal spirometry and no bronchodilator reversibility. Given its cost, mild risk, and discomfort, it should not be a first-line test — most asthma diagnoses do not require it. Technique and Medication Prep Technique ERS guidelines favor tidal breathing over deep inspiratory maneuvers. Deep breaths can be bronchoprotective and blunt the response, reducing sensitivity — especially in mild or well-controlled asthma. Medication Washout (to Avoid False Negatives) Medication ClassWashout PeriodShort-acting beta-agonists (SABA)≥ 6 hoursLong-acting beta-agonists (LABA)~24 hoursUltra-long-acting beta-agonists~48 hoursShort-acting anticholinergics (e.g., ipratropium)~12 hoursLong-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA, e.g., tiotropium)7 days Inhaled corticosteroids, leukotriene blockers, and antihistamines do not significantly affect the test acutely — continue these. Withdrawing ICS also carries its own risk for asthma patients. Practical tip: Spell out exactly what to hold and when — for both the patient and the PFT lab — at the time the test is ordered. Interpreting Results Negative Test (PC20 > 16 mg/mL) Very high negative predictive value in symptomatic adults. Makes current asthma quite unlikely (assuming proper test conduct). This is the test’s greatest strength: it is an excellent rule-out test. Positive Test (PC20 ≤ 8–16 mg/mL) More nuanced — airway hyperresponsiveness is not unique to asthma. Can be positive in: chronic cough, allergic rhinitis, COPD, and even some healthy asymptomatic individuals. A positive result raises probability but must be interpreted alongside the clinical story, variable respiratory symptoms, peak flow variability, FeNO, and ICS response. Safety and Risks Overall, the test is quite safe; significant adverse effects are rare. Temporary breathing discomfort is expected (bronchoconstriction is being induced). Severe bronchospasm is possible: A trained clinician should be available; SABA inhaler/nebulizer must be immediately on hand; a physician should be reachable in the facility. Contraindications / cautions: Avoid if FEV1 < 70% predicted or < 1–1.5 L (baseline obstruction greatly increases risk). Avoid within 3 months of an acute cardiac event (rare risk of cardiac events with unstable cardiac disease). Five Pearls — Quick Recap What it tests: Methacholine challenge is a direct test of AHR with high specificity but variable sensitivity — it belongs inside a diagnostic pathway, not as a standalone asthma test. When to use it: Most useful for symptomatic patients with normal spirometry and no bronchodilator response, after FeNO and peak flow variability have been considered. Technique and meds matter: Use tidal breathing protocol; respect washout intervals — especially the 7-day LAMA washout and 24–48 hour LABA window — to avoid false negatives. Safety: Generally safe, but can induce significant bronchoconstriction. Have a SABA available and avoid the test in patients with FEV1 < 70% predicted. Interpretation: A negative test (PC20 > 16 mg/mL) strongly argues against current asthma. A positive test raises probability but is not specific — interpret alongside the full clinical picture.

Did you grow up in a home where emotional truth wasn't safe? Were you raised by an alcoholic or narcissistic parent, or in a family where compliance mattered more than authenticity? Many adult children from dysfunctional homes learn at a subconscious level that it's safer to stay quiet, suppress feelings, and abandon themselves than to risk conflict, punishment, or abandonment. Over time, this conditioning leads to survival patterns like codependency, people-pleasing, fawning, and chronic self-doubt. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano explores the transformative power of the heart. While often thought of as a mechanical pump, the heart is one unified muscle that moves like a vortex. When we live in fear or chronic stress, the heart contracts—wringing out peace, self-love, harmony, and creativity. Healing begins when we take our power back by shifting attention away from external chaos and returning to the heart space. Presence softens contraction. Safety restores flow. And love expands when we stop living in survival mode. If this episode resonates, you're warmly invited to explore the Private Breakthrough Warrior Membership—a supportive healing space I created to offer the tools, teachings, and community I wish I had during my own awakening. Inside, you'll find guided programs, journaling workbooks, meditations, monthly mini-courses, and access to years of live group coaching—designed to help you reconnect with yourself and heal at your own pace. You don't have to do this alone.

Psychedelics are having a cultural moment. Research is promising. Stories of healing are everywhere. But here's the truth: these experiences aren't magic cures. And they aren't right for every nervous system at every time.   In this episode, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace slow the conversation down. Instead of asking, "Do psychedelics heal trauma?" They explore a more grounded question: What becomes possible when psychedelic or peak somatic experiences are approached through the lens of nervous system safety, preparation, and integration?   If you've been curious about psychedelics, already had experiences, or feel unsure whether they're right for you, this episode offers nuance, research, and deep nervous system perspective. Because post-traumatic growth isn't about becoming someone new. It's about becoming more available to the life that's already waiting for you.   Topic Covered Why psychedelics may reorganize meaning, not just reduce symptoms How trauma fragments narrative and how safety allows integration The science of psychological flexibility and why it predicts long-term outcomes What "somatic journeying" is and why it can feel disorienting The importance of preparation, titration, and facilitator trust Why intensity does not equal healing Psychedelics vs antidepressants in research on connectedness Default Mode Network (DMN), identity rigidity, and belief updating Why creativity often emerges when survival softens The risks of over-reliance and "chasing the medicine" Why discernment and self-trust matter more than hype   Chapters  00:00 – Psychedelics Aren't Magic Cures

Pool Pros text questions hereIn this episode of Mondays Down Under, Lee and Shane take us behind the scenes of a massive Australian water theme park — and the conversation quickly turns from wave pools and plant rooms on steroids to something much more serious:Safety.From razor blades hidden in slide seams (yes, that actually happened) to real-world design flaws causing injuries, this episode dives deep into the responsibility that comes with running aquatic facilities — whether it's a multi-million-dollar water park or your own pool service business.Lee shares her experience training maintenance staff at a high-risk commercial water park facility in New South Wales, including:Massive commercial pump systemsGiant wave pool air blowers (not baffle plates!)35 slides requiring daily walk-through inspectionsStructured risk management protocolsThe difference between low-risk and high-risk commercial facilitiesShe explains how commercial aquatic operations in Australia are tiered under state health guidelines — and why every service professional should understand the compliance responsibilities of the facilities they work with.

On episode 190 of Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver kick things off by examining the rapidly evolving world of AI-generated content, reacting to a shockingly realistic AI film featuring digital recreations of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. The duo debates whether this technology will ultimately replace traditional entertainment or remain a novelty, with Nash offering his characteristically skeptical take on the promises of Silicon Valley and the tech industry at large. The conversation shifts into the financial arena as Nash and Oliver dissect what they see as modern-day Ponzi schemes, from Bitcoin's volatile valuation to the murky world of precious metal ETFs. Nash channels his inner Warren Buffett, passionately arguing that nothing has true value unless it produces something tangible, while Oliver highlights the absurdity of paper silver trading at 350 times the amount of physical silver that actually exists. The pair also takes aim at Pam Bondi's now-infamous claim that the Dow crossed $50,000, using it as a springboard to discuss the current state of political and financial literacy. In the heart of the episode, Nash fields fan questions about the inherent dangers of professional wrestling, delivering a masterclass in ring safety. From his death-defying descent from the ceiling as Sting at World War 3 1997 to his philosophy on Hell in a Cell matches, chair shots, battle royals, and blading, Nash reveals the tricks of the trade that kept him safe over a decades-long career. He explains why he insisted that Hell in a Cell should stay "in" the cell, how he took chair shots without contact, and where wrestlers hide their blades — including Hulk Hogan's notorious habit of stashing his in his mouth. The Mount Ashmore segment crowns Nash's picks for wrestlers who could hold their booze, with The Undertaker, Steve Austin, Scott Hall, and Nash himself earning spots on the mountain. From there, the episode veers into Nash's hilarious gym stories — including a run-in with Nickelback-loving powerlifters — his meticulous approach to planning workouts on the road, and a weather report from a brutally cold Florida winter that cost him tens of thousands in landscaping. Nash and Oliver close out the show by tackling Trump's tariffs on Canada and the controversial delay of the Gordie Howe Bridge, with Nash connecting the dots between billionaire bridge owner Matty Moroun's influence and the political maneuvering behind the scenes. The episode wraps with a heartfelt look at the real-world impact on Canadian snowbirds in the Daytona Beach area, proving once again that Kliq This is equal parts wrestling history, cultural commentary, and unfiltered conversation.

If you've ever struggled with chronic gut issues, thyroid or autoimmune conditions, or wondered why “everything looks normal” but life feels anything but, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm thrilled to have Sophie Shepherd join me for a heartfelt conversation about the connection between emotional trauma and our gut, thyroid, and autoimmune conditions. We explore how chronic stress, past experiences, and unresolved emotions can manifest as physical health challenges — and how to pick up the early signs of dis-ease. Sophie and I discuss her journey, insights, and practical approaches, which beautifully align with the work I do helping women reclaim their health, hormones and nervous system balance.1. When Life Guides Your CallingSophie shares her story of how chronic gut issues, autoimmune disease and high-stress living led her to functional medicine and NLP. Sophie helps us reflect on the importance of listening to our bodies and life circumstances — before it's too late. 2. Early Warnings & MisdiagnosisSophie talks about how she navigated subtle but persistent symptoms like chronic diarrhea, bloating, acid reflux, and mental health struggles — symptoms often dismissed by doctors. Sophie and I discuss the emotional impact of being told “everything looks normal” and the empowerment of trusting your body's signals.3. Trauma, Safety, and Autoimmune ConnectionsSophie shares how emotional trauma and patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and suppression of anger contribute to thyroid and autoimmune conditions. Sophie and I discuss why nervous system regulation is critical for recovery and how trauma can manifest physically in the gut and thyroid.4. NLP, Hypnosis, and Mindset ShiftsWe dive into the tools that transform: neural linguistics programming, hypnosis, and quantum time technique. Sophie and I discuss how identifying and shifting limiting beliefs, releasing old trauma, and rewiring thought patterns can support real healing from chronic conditions.5. Observations in Women With Autoimmune ConditionsSophie and I reflect on patterns we see in our clients: chronic stress, internalized anger, people-pleasing, gut expressions of emotional states, and difficulty feeling safe slowing down. Sophie and I connect these patterns to holistic approaches to health that integrate the mind, body, and nervous system.Your Takeaways From This EpisodePay attention to early physical and emotional signals.Trauma and stress can drive chronic illness — nervous system work matters.Shifting limiting beliefs supports physical healing.Empowered choices create pathways to better health.Work with Sophie:Mineral Mocktail Guide: https://shetalkshealth.com/mineral-mocktail-guide/ Thyroid Health Audit Call: https://l.bttr.to/JChUc HTMA Mineral Reset: https://l.bttr.to/WfoEz Free Health Discovery Call: www.shetalkshealth.com/contact Stop Guessing at Your Thyroid & Get Answers Now: https://ace.shetalkshealth.com/home-front Work With Sherry:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!

Waikato district nurses say they're at the end of their tether as demand for their services soars. District nurses, who provide care for patients in the community rather than in hospitals or clinics, say they're severely understaffed and it's causing in burnout, stress and leading to widespread resignations. They also say it's putting their safety at risk. It comes as WorkSafe considers a complaint from the New Zealand Nurses Organisation that Health New Zealand's failure to improve district nurses' working conditions amounts to a breach of the Health and Safety Act. Bella Craig reports.

The temptation isn't to want bad things. The temptation is to want good things so badly that we'll accept any path that gets us there. Safety. Order. Security. Provision. These are real goods. The question is whether the path to them builds the kind of community we actually want to live in, or whether it produces the desired outcome but poisons the groundwater. Subscribe to us on iTunes!

I am re-sharing this episode in memory of Lara. Lara lived with type 3c diabetes after losing her pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, and part of her stomach during surgery for a pancreatic tumor. In this conversation, she shared what that life looked like — the physical challenges, the learning curve, and the strength it took to keep going. Lara has since passed away. Her mother asked if I would run this episode again in her memory. I am honored to do so. If you didn't hear Lara the first time, listen now. If you did, maybe you'll hear something new. Lara's story matters. First aired January 2024: Lara has type 3c diabetes. She lost her pancreas, spleen, gall bladder and part of her stomach during a pancreatic tumor surgery. ___ *The Pod has an IP28 rating for up to 25 feet for 60 minutes.

Check out Married-U today! https://married-u.com ___________________________ In this episode, I answer two deeply honest questions: • When I get flustered, talk faster, interrupt, and leave to calm down — my husband says I'm aggressive and stonewalling. I know I'm dysregulated… but how do I explain that to him? • How do we avoid undermining each other in front of the kids? And is it harmful for them to see us disagree? These aren't small issues. They touch nervous systems. Respect. Leadership. Safety. And the kind of marriage your children are quietly learning from every day. If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling misunderstood… Or wondered whether your parenting disagreements are affecting your kids more than you think… This conversation will help you see what's really going on. 

In this Sacred Sunday reflection of The Estranged Heart, Kreed explores how many of us learned early that obedience meant safety. Kreed gently examines the difference between obedience and integrity, and how the nervous system can equate assertion with danger. If you struggle to identify your own preferences, over-explain, apologize prematurely, or say yes while feeling resentment later, this conversation will likely resonate. This is not an episode about dismantling obedience. It is about examining its cost.Resources & SupportFacebook Support Group (facilitated by Kreed) - https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroupOne-on-One ServicesPrivate coachingConsultingMediation servicesConnect with Kreed:Website: theestrangedheart.comEmail: hello@theestrangedheart.comSupport the work: Buy Me a Coffee (donation platform)Disclaimer: Kreed is not a licensed therapist.

What began as a small operation run from their living room grew into an industry-leading rope access company that helped modernize safety and training standards across Western Canada. Tim shares how his early experiences working on ropes without proper systems sparked a mission to professionalize the industry, while Jemia reveals how her transition from film into entrepreneurship helped shape the culture, operations, and leadership foundation that drives the company today.This episode goes far beyond rope access and into the mindset required to lead through uncertainty, fear, and constant external change. Jemia and Tim open up about surviving economic downturns, learning not to rely on a single client or industry, and the importance of diversification, relationships, and long-term thinking. At its core, Episode 318 is a powerful conversation about entrepreneurship, partnership, and the defining moments every leader faces when standing at the edge of the unknown and choosing to move forward anyway.Learn more about Tim and Jemia and their work with Pacific Ropes: www.pacificropes.comKey Takeaways: The moment before you go over the edge is where growth lives, and success often requires committing fully despite fear.Safety, preparation, and mindset are what allow people to operate confidently in environments where mistakes are not survivable.Building an industry does not require inventing everything yourself, it requires learning from others and bringing proven ideas into your market.You cannot build a resilient business with a single client or industry, diversification is what allows you to survive external shocks.Culture is built on trust and shared responsibility, especially when your team's lives depend on each other every day.Mindset is the foundation of resilience, and the ability to stay calm and find solutions during uncertainty determines long term survival.The best leaders are willing to ask for help and continuously learn, rather than pretending they already have all the answers.Partnership strength comes from respecting differences, where vision and caution work together to create sustainable growth.Fear never fully disappears, but learning to act despite fear is what separates those who build meaningful things.Success in business and life requires intentional boundaries, because achievement means nothing if you lose yourself or your family along the way.Special thank you to our 2026 Title Sponsors, Hypervac Technologies and Hyperfab.Hypervac continues to set the standard across North America for air excavation, bringing innovation, safety, and precision to some of the most demanding infrastructure projects in the world.

If you're 45, 50, or 60 and doing all the "right" things — training hard, eating clean, optimizing your health — but your body isn't responding the way it used to… this episode is for you. In this solo deep dive, Coach Debbie Potts breaks down what it really means to become fit and healthy from the inside out — at a cellular level. Before we talk peptides, exosomes, stem cells, or advanced regenerative therapies, we need to understand one thing: Your body cannot regenerate in stagnation. Safety turns digestion back on. Flow clears inflammatory noise. And when waste moves, mitochondria increase output. In this episode, you'll learn: • What "restoring cellular trust" actually means • Why mitochondria are the decision-makers of your metabolism • How chronic stress keeps you stuck in protective adaptation • The real role of bile flow, lymphatic drainage, and gut motility • Why immune resilience declines in midlife • The difference between adding more stress vs. rebuilding capacity • The correct order of operations: Safety → Flow → Capacity • How to create your FutureYou Blueprint™ without burning out If you're a high performer who feels inflamed, resistant, or metabolically stalled, this episode will help you understand why pushing harder isn't the solution — and what to do instead. Because your FutureYou isn't built by adding more stress. It's built by restoring cellular trust — in the right order. ✨ Ready to build your personalized FutureYou Blueprint™?

In one fashion or another, all state legislatures exercise oversight of state agencies and programs. They do this in a variety of ways using standing committees, rules review, auditing offices, sunset provisions, and more. On this episode of the podcast, we dive into the topic of oversight with three guests who all have different vantage points to observe the process. They include Kade Minchey, auditor general with the Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor General; Holly Trice, registrar of regulations in Virginia and on the staff of the Virginia Joint Commission on Administrative Rules; and Will Clark, who works with NCSL's Center for Legislative Strengthening. Will Clark started our discussion with an explanation of some of the basics of oversight, the approaches used, and the tools available to legislators.Kade Minchey explained how his office in Utah uses performance audits to help agencies improve and how the legislative committee responsible for audits uses the information. Holly Trice talked about the rules review process in Virginia, how the legislature and executive branch work together, and how they afford all legislators and the public a chance to weigh in. ResourcesThe Best Practice Handbook: Root Cause Analysis and Driving Results, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralThe Best Practice Handbook: A Practical Guide to Excellence for Utah Government, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralA Performance Audit of Utah State Correctional Facility: An Examination of Staffing, Culture, Safety, and Security, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralA Performance Audit of Utah's Behavioral Health System: A Case for Governance, Strategic Planning, and Accountability, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralA Performance Audit of Utah's Election System and Controls, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralA Performance Audit of Utah's Water Management: Ensuring Data Integrity, Program Best Practices, and Comprehensive Water Planning, Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor GeneralSeparation of Powers: An Overview, NCSLSeparation of Powers: Legislative Oversight, NCSLVirginia Register of RegulationsVirginia Regulatory Town Hall 

Leon and Lindsey welcome guest Kayla Smith to discuss what "Shalom at Home" looks like for parents who want to cultivate homes rooted in safety, peace, belonging, and worth. Through practical wisdom and honest encouragement, parents can find ways to create everyday rhythms where children feel secure, deeply loved, and truly at home.

Drawing on Edmondson's extensive psychological safety research, the episode provides practical guidance for safety leaders seeking to improve workplace conversations. The framework reveals that effective safety communication requires more than encouraging people to speak up—it demands deliberate leadership to create environments where contributions are productive, silence is reflective rather than fearful, and meeting goals are clearly articulated. The findings offer significant implications for safety professionals working to enhance organizational communication and change management capabilities. Discussion Points: (00:00) Background on psychological safety and employee voice (04:05) Introducing Amy Edmondson's reflections paper (08:00) Why workplace meetings are often unproductive (11:13) The four-quadrant model of workplace conversations (16:44) Withholding when productive silence becomes problematic (19:49) Disrupting and the challenge of unproductive voice (26:33) Contributing through productive voice and disagreement (30:05) Processing the importance of reflective silence (35:53) Practical takeaways for leading better meetings Like and follow, send us your comments and suggestions for future show topics! Quotes: "The employee voice and silence literature is a lot more precise because it's looking at a specific question: what do people speak up about, when do they speak up, who do they speak up to, what do they say?" - Drew Rae "A good meeting is when all participants are either contributing or processing with minimal withholding or disrupting." - Drew Rae "It's not just that disruptive people take up time and space, they raise the threshold for others to speak up." - Drew Rae "Where there's diversity in the room, race or gender, it can make this a little bit more difficult because people might feel personally vulnerable." - David Provan "We want an environment that promotes productive conversations, and that environment is more about when and how we speak up ourselves." - Drew Rae   Resources: Resource Link: https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=6451 The Safety of Work Podcast The Safety of Work on LinkedIn Feedback@safetyofwork

Send a textLast week I talked about hypervigilance — what happens when a woman's nervous system doesn't feel safe in pregnancy, birth or postpartum.This week, I explore one of the most evidence-based ways to reduce it: continuity of carer.Continuity is not just about seeing the same service. It's about being known. It's about relationship. And decades of research show that when women receive continuity of midwifery care, outcomes improve across the board — including lower rates of preterm birth, fewer interventions, and better mental health outcomes.But this conversation goes beyond statistics.I look at why birth is relational and hormonal, why oxytocin depends on safety, and how familiarity in the room — whether from a midwife, a prepared partner, or a doula — can change the entire physiological landscape of labour.I also ask the uncomfortable question: if continuity is so well evidenced, why is it still treated as optional?Because safety in birth is often framed as machines and monitoring.Yet the evidence is clear.Safety is relationship.Safety is familiarity.Safety is being known.And continuity changes everything.Access the Discover Your North Star Course HereIf you love the podcast and would like to support it, then please use the link to 'buy me a coffee' - https://bmc.link/sallyannberesfordIf you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.uk Follow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner Book a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann - https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresford Please remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guests, based on their own experiences.

Send a textWomen's Power to Heal Mother Earth by Maya TiwariMaya Tiwari's discourse emphasizes the urgent need for individual and collective awakeningamid the interconnected global crises impacting humanity and the planet. These crises include climate change, poverty, hunger, political instability, inequality, healthcare and education deficits, the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and potential pandemics. However, beyond these visible issues lies a more insidious challenge: the shadowy consolidation of global control through a digital framework, particularly under the 2030 global agenda, which threatens humanity's identity, freedom, and sovereignty.Key InsightsInformation Overload and Distraction: The rapid flow of overwhelming information surpasses human nervous system capacity, leading to distraction rather than empowerment. Media sensationalism and staged political conflicts serve as deliberate distractions, diverting attention from the covert construction of a “digital cage”restricting freedoms.Manipulation Strategies of Power Structures: Power elites use secrecy, fear, and controlled narratives to maintain dominance: Influence is traded via secrecy. Status operates as currency. Fear buys silence. Gatekeepers control access and outcomes. These strategies induce polarization, emotional manipulation, and social fragmentation, preventing structural clarity and true justice.The Role of Awakening: The antidote to this manipulation is awakening—an inner shift that strengthens one's mental clarity and emotional resilience. By recognizing and understanding control patterns, individuals can protect their personal frequency from being poisoned and reclaim their power to heal and transform.Humanity's Collective Power: Despite external chaos and power struggles, the collective human consciousness is emerging from complacency. The breakdown of old unspoken agreements that protected entrenched power is creating an opportunity for new justice founded on awareness, presence, and collective governance.Thematic HighlightsThe world's crises are interconnected and multilayered, requiring not only systemic change but deep personal transformation.The real battle is hidden behind everyday distractions, with powerful forces orchestrating a staged sequence to maintain control.Truth is deliberately warped and weaponized to create tribalism and confusion, hindering unified responses.Safety and justice do not come from authority but from individual and collective awakening, reclaiming sovereignty through understanding and presence.Healing the Earth and humanity begins with reclaimingSupport the showMay Peace Be Your Journey: Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self- tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Mothermaya@gmail.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

Episode Summary: Robots Are Building Solar Farms Robots Are Building Solar Farms: How Cosmic Robotics Is Transforming Utility-Scale Construction In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, host Benoy Thanjan sits down with James Emerick, Co-Founder and CEO of Cosmic Robotics, to explore how autonomous robotics are changing the way utility-scale solar is built. Cosmic Robotics is developing an autonomous vehicle with an industrial robotic arm that installs PV modules on to racking, reducing labor intensity while improving safety and predictability on job sites. James shares why module installation is one of the most labor-intensive and OSHA recordable injury-prone tasks in solar construction and how robotics can help crews work faster and safer. They also discuss the company's approach to deploying robots in the field, using real-world data to improve performance, and expanding into adjacent tasks like QA/QC and other construction applications over time. The conversation also touches on the broader drivers accelerating automation, including labor constraints, tighter project economics, and the surge in behind-the-meter power needs from data centers and AI infrastructure.   Key Takeaways Robotics can reduce crew size while maintaining or improving daily module install throughput • Safety is a primary driver, not just cost, since module install has high injury exposure • Well-scoped tasks like module placement are a practical path to field-ready autonomy • The long-term opportunity is a broader robotics platform for solar and adjacent infrastructure   Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups. Over his career, Benoy has developed over 100 MWs of solar projects across the U.S., helped launch the first residential solar tax equity funds at Tesla, and brokered $45 million in Renewable Energy Credits (“REC”) transactions. Prior to founding Reneu Energy, Benoy was the Environmental Commodities Trader in Tesla's Project Finance Group, where he managed one of the largest environmental commodities portfolios. He originated REC trades and co-developed a monetization and hedging strategy with senior leadership to enter the East Coast market. As Vice President at Vanguard Energy Partners, Benoy crafted project finance solutions for commercial-scale solar portfolios. His role at Ridgewood Renewable Power, a private equity fund with 125 MWs of U.S. renewable assets, involved evaluating investment opportunities and maximizing returns. He also played a key role in the sale of the firm's renewable portfolio. Earlier in his career, Benoy worked in Energy Structured Finance at Deloitte & Touche and Financial Advisory Services at Ernst & Young, following an internship on the trading floor at D.E. Shaw & Co., a multi billion dollar hedge fund.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss one of the wonders of the natural world. In 1875 in the western Pacific, the crew of HMS Challenger discovered the Mariana Trench which turned out to be deeper than Everest is high, by two kilometres. Trenches like Mariana form when one tectonic plate slips under another and heads down and there are around fifty of them globally. While at one time some thought it was too dark and deep for life there and others wildly imagined monsters, the truth has turned out to be much more surprising.

A Note from James:In the first episode with Dr. Nicole McNichols, we talked about chemistry, myths, and why communication matters more than performance. This episode goes deeper—into biology, anatomy, dopamine, desire, and the mechanics of pleasure.There are a lot of myths around sex. Some are cultural. Some are Hollywood. Some come from bad science. And some just come from silence.This conversation gets specific. We talk about orgasm, desire, scheduling sex, the so-called “missionary problem,” novelty in long-term relationships, and why so much of what we assume about men and women sexually just isn't true.If Part 1 was about mindset, Part 2 is about understanding how sex actually works.Episode Description:What actually happens in the body during orgasm? Why does anticipation sometimes feel better than the act itself? And why are so many of our beliefs about sex simply wrong?In Part 2 of this three-part series, Dr. Nicole McNichols breaks down the biology of desire, the science of orgasm, and the myths that quietly sabotage long-term relationships.She explains why dopamine peaks during anticipation, why consistency—not intensity—is often key to orgasm, and why “missionary” might be underrated. They explore the anatomy of the clitoris (including research only fully mapped in 2006), the orgasm gap, responsive vs. spontaneous desire, and why scheduling intimacy can actually increase desire.This episode reframes sex not as performance, but as collaboration—an evolving, communicative process rooted in curiosity and growth.What You'll Learn:Why dopamine spikes during anticipation—and how to avoid the post-expectation letdownThe difference between spontaneous and responsive desire (for both men and women)Why consistency is physiologically critical during orgasmThe science behind the orgasm gap and what actually closes itWhy scheduling intimacy can increase frequency and desire—not kill spontaneityTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] No One Craves Bad Sex & The Myth of “Boring” Positions[00:03:18] Previously on Part 1: Porn Myths & Feeling Wanted[00:04:00] Chemistry, Pheromones & The Role of Safety[00:06:00] Sexual Growth Mindset & Compatibility[00:08:00] Fireworks vs. Communication[00:10:00] Anatomy, Diversity of Touch & The Clitoris Explained[00:12:00] Scripts, Feedback & How to Talk During Sex[00:17:00] Novelty, Micro-Novelty & Preventing Boredom[00:19:00] Wanting, Liking & Learning: The Pleasure Cycle[00:23:00] Expanding the Definition of Sex[00:25:00] The “Sex Recession” & Frequency Myths[00:27:00] Planning Intimacy & Scheduling Sex[00:31:00] Why Missionary Deserves a Rebrand[00:34:00] Internal Anatomy, the Clitoral Complex & Size Myths[00:39:00] What Is an Orgasm, Physiologically?[00:45:00] The Orgasm Gap & Why Fingering Matters[00:47:00] Consistency vs. “Faster & Harder”[00:49:00] Masturbation Myths & No Nut November[00:51:00] Refractory Period & Aging[00:55:00] Multiple Orgasms & What Research Shows[01:00:00] Love, Orientation & Novelty in Long-Term RelationshipsAdditional Resources:You Could Be Having Better SexNicole McNicholsHelen O'Connell – Research mapping full clitoral anatomy (MRI studies)Beverly Whipple – Orgasm research & physiological studiesA Moveable Feast – Referenced during discussionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
