Podcast appearances and mentions of Sarah Collins

In her very last public address, Patricia Holland said this in a worldwide devotional given to the young adults of the church: “Simplify! [God] wants us to know that the gospel is beautifully simple and simply beautiful.” She shares the most simple sequence of the gospel is to have faith, hope, and charity. She says, “Our part is to come unto Him in lowliness and simplicity, then we should worry not and fear not.”    It's sometimes a lot easier said than done. The Magnify podcast has previously shared how worry is not a gospel principle. And today's guest has felt that in her own personal experience. Genny Hickman joins podcast producer Sarah Collins as she shares her story about finding hope in God's promises and how the simplicity of the beautiful gospel has been a guiding source to her life.   “A Future Filled with Hope” worldwide devotional   Join us on Instagram and subscribe to the newsletter!

Ever wonder why your child can't sit still during lessons? Why they melt down when they're wearing certain clothes? Or why they're suddenly screaming at you when they haven't eaten in hours? The answer might lie in sensory processing—a critical yet often overlooked component of learning and behavior.In this illuminating conversation, occupational therapist Sarah Collins unpacks how our sensory systems influence every aspect of learning and daily life. Beyond the familiar five senses we all know, she explains how our vestibular system (balance), proprioception (body awareness), and interoception (internal body signals) create the foundation for successful learning and emotional regulation.Sarah reveals the surprising connection between body awareness and emotion regulation, backed by research showing that children who struggle to sense what's happening in their bodies often have difficulty managing their emotions. This knowledge transforms how we understand "difficult" behaviors—what looks like defiance or lack of focus might actually be sensory overwhelm.The homeschooling environment offers unique opportunities to accommodate sensory needs. Instead of forcing children to adapt to one-size-fits-all learning environments, parents can create flexible spaces that support each child's sensory profile. Maybe your child comprehends better while gently rocking, standing, or even upside down! As Sarah explains, "calm" doesn't necessarily mean "still"—it means the nervous system is regulated enough to process information effectively.Most powerfully, Sarah shares practical strategies for identifying sensory needs and adapting environments accordingly. From morning routines that incorporate movement to sensory-friendly workspaces, these approaches can dramatically improve learning outcomes. She also discusses how to balance competing sensory needs when siblings have different—sometimes opposite—requirements for successful learning.Ready to transform your homeschool experience? Listen now to discover how understanding sensory processing can lead to less frustration, more enjoyment, and deeper learning for your entire family.CONNECT WITH US: Website: www.TheBrainyMoms.com Email: info@TheBrainyMoms.com Social Media: @TheBrainyMoms Our sponsor's website: www.LearningRx.comSandy's TikTok: @TheBrainTrainerLadyDr. Amy's brand new IG: @DrAmySaysGraceDr. Amy's website: www.AmyMoorePhD.com

Individualized learning is a wonderful benefit of homeschooling, but sensory processing difficulties can bring their own unique set of challenges. Whether your child struggles with noise, textures, or overwhelming environments, these sensory challenges can impact their ability to focus and learn. Understanding sensory processing issues, along with implementing practical strategies for your homeschool day, can make a world of difference for both you and your child. Occupational therapist and homeschool mom Sarah Collins and I discussed how sensory processing affects learning at home and shared actionable tips to create a more supportive environment for your child's (and your own) unique sensory needs.Find show notes and full transcript here: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/homeschooling-kids-with-sensory-needsUse coupon code humilityanddoxology to get Sensory Regulation Ideas for Parents for FREE.THANK YOU to podcast sponsor Berean Builders: https://bereanbuilders.com/ecomm/While you're here, would you take a minute to leave a rating and review in your podcast app?

Que vous soyez amateur de thrillers psychologiques, de drames humains ou de mystères intelligents, ces trois séries disponibles sur Canal+ vous emmènent dans des paysages différents. The Tower La première saison de The Tower nous plongeait dans une enquête palpitante après une chute mystérieuse du haut d'une tour résidentielle à Londres, qui laissait derrière elle des questions troublantes et un duo d'enquêtrices complexes. La détective Sarah Collins et sa jeune collègue, Lizzie Griffiths, se retrouvaient mêlées à un réseau de secrets et de conflits éthiques qui mettaient en lumière des dysfonctionnements au sein de la police. https://youtu.be/z5bm-Eewd0I?si=rky08Z9-im2iIscL La série reprend avec Sarah Collins toujours marquée par les événements de la saison précédente. Cette fois, une affaire d'agression brutale dans un quartier populaire déclenche une nouvelle vague de tensions. Tandis que Collins cherche à dénouer une enquête tortueuse, Lizzie lutte pour s'affirmer dans sa carrière et se distancer des erreurs passées. Les deux femmes devront encore une fois jongler entre loyauté, justice et leurs convictions personnelles. [bs_show url="the-tower-2021"] Three Pines Adaptée des romans de Louise Penny, Three Pines suit l'inspecteur Armand Gamache campé par Alfred Molina, un enquêteur charismatique et réfléchi. Envoyé dans un paisible village québécois, il se retrouve confronté à des crimes troublants qui dévoilent les sombres secrets de cette petite communauté. Dans un format procédural, chaque épisode explore des histoires indépendantes tout en tissant un fil rouge autour d'un mystère central : une disparition inexpliquée qui hante Gamache. Au fil des enquêtes, Gamache se lie d'amitié avec des habitants du village, notamment Clara Morrow, une artiste locale pleine de sensibilité, et Olivier Brulé, un propriétaire de café dont le passé cache des zones d'ombre. Ces relations apportent une touche d'humanité et un contraste avec la noirceur des crimes. https://youtu.be/x11Je5RAmVQ?si=Qn-a4G2JzKeLRvYb Située dans les paysages enneigés et pittoresques du Canada, la série mêle humour absurde et noirceur dans un savant équilibre qui n'est pas sans rappeler Fargo. Les fans des romans retrouveront l'essence de l'œuvre originale, tandis que les novices seront séduits par cet univers riche. [bs_show url="three-pines"] Bête noire La saison 2 de Bête noire, le polar canadien, est enfin disponible, après une première qui explorait les conséquences d'une tragédie : une fusillade scolaire perpétrée par Jérémy, un jeune homme sans histoire. La série abordait avec une finesse rare les traumatismes laissés par cet acte, tout en tentant de comprendre les raisons qui ont conduit à un tel geste. Après les événements de la première saison, cette nouvelle édition poursuit l'exploration des répercussions à long terme sur les familles, les survivants et les institutions. Les acteurs qui ne sont pas familiers pour nous, incarnent leurs rôles avec une intensité qui résonne longtemps après chaque épisode. Dans la nouvelle saison, l'histoire se concentre sur un groupe de soutien qui se forme entre les parents des victimes et d'autres touchés indirectement par des drames similaires. Le scénario interroge les notions de pardon, de culpabilité et de résilience. En se concentrant sur les conséquences et non sur l'acte en lui-même, la série se distingue des autres thrillers psychologiques. https://youtu.be/QPSl9BeJOks?si=U_EP5MrvwKRwqz2L Direction Canal+ pour retrouver ces trois séries pleines de suspens !

Have you ever thought of contentment as complacency? That's perhaps something we often misinterpret, but in today's conversation, we explore that contentment is actually a blessing of peace from the Lord. We hope this conversation can take a weight off our shoulders as we're in the midst of what is not only known as, “the most wonderful time of the year,” but also the busiest! We're all searching for a little relief and source of joy, and we think it's a conversation that will serve as a reminder that we can live differently and make our joy more apparent.   Hilary Craner joins this episode with podcast host Courtney Spencer and producer Sarah Collins. This conversation was based on an article that Hilary wrote for LDS Living. You can read it here.

Panel discussion on the consequences of the European Parliament elections that took place on the 24th of September 2024. The members of the panel were Francis Jacobs (former head of the European Parliament Office, Dublin), Sarah Collins (Brussels correspondent, Business Post) and Professor Ben Tonra, MRIA (UCD). It was chaired by Iulia Siedschlag (ESRI). Francis Jacobs, in his analysis of the EP election results, confirmed that the EPP had been a clear winner, increasing its seat share. The S & D group had largely held its own. It had been a poor election for Renew and the Greens. The far left had increased its seat numbers slightly. While the far right had done well, especially in the largest member states, it had not had the sweeping victory some had predicted, and was fragmented into three rival parties. In principle the mainstream parties should have a majority, but there could also be times when ECR votes were needed. How PM Meloni played her hand would be critically important. There could well be different majorities on different issues. Sarah Collins spoke about the formation of the Commission. The definition and allocation of portfolios was complex and was generally felt to be likely to boost the authority of President Von der Leyen, as the arbiter of likely disputes, still further. She confirmed that Von der Leyen had been irritated by the Irish Government's approach to the nomination process, and by the high-profile opposition of four FF MEPs to her re-election. The promotion of European competitiveness as a core objective meant that the Commission could be expected to tilt in a pro-business direction. The Draghi Report offered a range of policy priorities to further this overarching goal. State aid could become very controversial. Climate change and the green new deal would remain important, and other prominent topics would include defence, tech and biopharma regulation, energy and the rule of law. The Ukraine/Russia war would obviously loom large too, however it developed. Ben Tonra, recognising that the Parliament's role in relation to the Common Foreign and Security Policy remained relatively weak, nonetheless said that its budgetary role, and its resolutions, even if non-binding, gave it influence. Trends to look out for, with an increase in far right representation and growing anxieties within mainstream parties, included an opposition to strengthening the EU's foreign policy capacity; resistance to the pooling of defence resources; a transactional approach by some (HU, CZ) to Russia and China; scepticism about enlargement; hostility to migration, including legal migration; the securitisation of development policy; a reluctance to push hard on human rights; less ambition on climate change. Several varied issues were raised from the floor, including regarding the strength of the commitment to combating climate change; the next Multiannual Financial Framework; the contribution of Irish MEPs; the Apple tax decision; the EU and the Middle East; the speed of decision-making; planning for the effects of either outcome in the US election, including on the goal of strategic autonomy; Von der Leyen's management style; the role of EP President Metsola; and the robustness of the euro. The rapporteur for this event was Rory Montgomery, MRIA

In the tradition of Dale Clark's memorable fan publications, comes the Dark Shadows Podcast of Questions & Answers volume THREE! In this installment, Penny Dreadful addresses the following questions: How did Roxanne become a vampire in the unaltered 1840? Why isn't Chris Jennings' brother Tom also werewolf? Was Angelique really at Collinwood in the original run of 1897, as we see in a flashback? Is it an error that silver bullets can be used to destroy vampires on Dark Shadows? How can Barnabas be rendered unconscious in a car accident if he's a vampire? Why does Josette's music box play two different themes? What happened to the blackmail money that Elizabeth Collins Stoddard deposited into a Swiss bank account for Jason McGuire? When the ghost of Sarah Collins says, “Those who were here before have come back, and they're angry, and there's someone in this house they want to destroy,” to whom is she referring? The episode ends with promotion for other Dark Shadows and horror-related podcasts, shows, books, and projects.

We've all noticed an increasing emphasis on covenants and temples! In April general conference the word “covenants” was used 194 times! There were 15 new temples announced, bringing the worldwide count to 350. And the First Presidency updated the temple recommend interview questions and issued a new statement on wearing the temple garment. It feels momentous!     But there hasn't always been a lot of dialogue around this subject. In this episode, Michelle Torsak, Director of Content for Deseret Book, and podcast producer Sarah Collins have asked Melinda Brown, author and teacher, to join with her expertise. Mindy believes that when we understand the significance and purpose of covenants and the temple garment—the WHY—it makes honoring them a joy.

In this final episode of the summer series TRUTH QUEST, our travelers make their way to Selma and the Edmund Pettus Bridge. In March of 1965, civil rights protesters were met by a lineup of armed police (many on horseback) with attack dogs and billy clubs who ordered them to turn back. When the marchers refused, they were brutally attacked on a day that became known as Bloody Sunday. SNCC Director John Lewis (later Congressman) was viciously beaten and nearly died that day. We take a ceremonial walk across that bridge. We proceed to Birmingham, known in the 50s and 60s as "Bombingham," where Martin Luther King  (along with Ralph Abernathy and Fred Shuttlesworth) were imprisoned in 1963 for their civil disobedience. We hear a reading of King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail (Osahon Obazuaye). Several months after King wrote his letter, a bomb exploded on a Sunday morning as the congregation gathered for worship in the basement of the 16th Street Baptist Church, killing four young girls. A fifth, Sarah Collins, lost her sister and best friends but survived the blast. All these years later, she met with our group in the memorial park across from the church and shared her story. Ken wraps the series with some reflections, from several fellow travelers and then some concluding reflections of his own.

Plus, the latest on the Trump Organization's tax fraud charge, and an update on the protests in Iran.  Then: The Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Moore v. Harper, a case that could change how elections are run in the US. We'll explain the case and why it's so controversial…in 60 seconds.

So this week, we're asking the tough question: should you remove TikTok from your phone? Two experts help break down the pros and cons of the app, so you can decide for yourself.  Finally: Our team tried the AI avatar app that's been flooding your social media feeds. And the results were questionable.

New reporting shows us why we've seen an increase in roadway deaths in the US and what we can learn from other countries about how to prevent them.  Finally: Merriam Webster declared “gaslighting” as its word of the year. We break out our dictionaries to break down the word's definition – and why it gets misused.   On this episode, you'll hear from:  Sue-Lin Wong, correspondent, The Economist Emily Badger, cities and urban policy writer, The Upshot, The New York Times Dr. Ramani Durvasula, clinical psychologist Want more Skimm?  Sign up for our free daily newsletter Email us your questions about what's going on in the news right now  Subscribe and leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts Skimm'd by Alex Carr, Will Livingston, and Blake Lew-Merwin.
