Episode 1851: Dr. Benjamin Ritter challenges the modern obsession with “meaningful work,” revealing how the search for fulfillment from employers often leads to disengagement and turnover. He argues that true meaning isn't found, it's created, through personal accountability and job crafting. Both employees and employers must shift focus: employees must own their sense of purpose, while employers should empower them to shape roles they can love. Read along with the original article(s) here:⁠ https://www.liveforyourselfconsulting.com/articles/2020/12/14/the-dangers-of-searching-for-meaningful-work-a-letter-to-employers-and-employees⁠ Quotes to ponder: “Employees are searching for meaningful work and feel that meaning is something they can find, or something an employer can give them.” “The idea that your work should ‘give' you meaning, as if it's responsible for how you feel, is incredibly misleading.” “The only thing an employer can actually give their employees is the power to craft a job they can love from a job they have.”

Send us a textWorking as a librarian by day and making pottery in her garage studio by night, Becky wrestles with a challenge many makers face: how do you develop a distinctive artistic voice when you're working in isolation? What if the pressure to constantly produce—amplified by social media's highlight reel—is actually drowning out the quiet work of discovering what you're truly trying to say? Through Becky's journey from community studios to her home workspace, and ultimately to seeking mentorship, we see how the introspective work of noticing what you notice and allowing yourself to be vulnerable about your creative exploration can transform not just your work, but your entire relationship with your craft. When we, as makers, give ourselves permission to prioritize being curious over meeting productivity expectations, we can often discover that the creative restlessness we've been feeling isn't a problem to solve—it's actually pointing us toward the work we're meant to be making…Becky's Instagram: @hawthorn_ceramicsMore information on Naomi Clement's mentorship program can be found here.Love this podcast?

Energetic Health Institute Radio with Carmen Adams, CHN – So often, we wait until discomfort forces us to act because we wait until fatigue becomes exhaustion or the occasional bloating becomes chronic inflammation. The key discussed today is that prevention is the quiet work. Each listener has the choice in choosing home-cooked over fast foods to lessen the likelihood of heartburn, hydrating before...

Ghosts seem far out of the realm of science. But small groups of investigators remain committed to proving — or disproving — the existence of paranormal phenomena. On this episode, we find out what motivates these investigators, and we'll hear about a lab on the UCLA campus that studied paranormal activities.

Was Joseph Smith a mystic? Searching for the term ‘mysticism' on the Church website yields, “See: False Doctrine, Sorcery, Superstitions; Traditions of Men.” So it's no wonder many church members haven't thought much about mysticism—the role it may have played in Joseph's experience, or how it might inform their own everyday lives or transform their spiritual practices. But poet Kathryn Knight Sonntag describes it differently: “Trusting the groundless ground, trusting that the darkness or the chaos or the unknown place actually is deeply full of knowing and love and purpose. And that it's ultimately the path into apotheosis. It's ultimately where we begin that journey of becoming divine.” In Episode 241, Kathryn joins Susan and Cynthia to explore the concept of mysticism. What might it look like for Latter-day Saints to step off the prescribed map and onto the sacred ground of our own lives in pursuit of personal encounters with God?

f you're a Southerner who's interested in food, you probably know John T. Edge from his work as the founding director of the Southern Foodways Alliance, as the author of the Potlikker Papers, or as the host of True South, a TV show about Southern food and culture on the SEC Network. It's hard to find someone who's been more influential in shaping the conversation around Southern food and telling the stories of its unsung heroes. Well, now John T. is telling his own story with a powerful new memoir called House of Smoke: A Southerner Goes Searching for Home. Sid talked to John T. about his complicated and sometimes violent childhood in Clinton, Georgia; his fraught relationship with a mother who struggled with alcoholism; and the wild journey that finally led him to a career at the University of Mississippi. A note: This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the Southern Living offices in Birmingham, Alabama.

This is the concluding episode of David Wood's horrific story and search for answers to his life-long confusion and turmoil. David is an Australian journalist and copywriter now based in Darwin, Northern Territory. He reached out to me by email after listening to several SASS episodes and recognizing his own story in the voices of others. I was immediately captivated by David's email…which turned into several emails through our ongoing efforts to make this episode happen. The bumps in the road as we struggled to put this together were well worth it for me. And I think you'll also find it well worth it to listen to David's episodes.  I won't spend a lot of time here describing this episode…it's something so powerful and so impactful, you'll just have to listen to it to absorb its phenomenal importance.  There is a previous SASS episode that I mentioned this week regarding Katie Stewart…if you're interested in learning more about Katie and the interesting connections between her story and David's, it is Episode 35.  I also mentioned two books during this episode; one by Dr. Bruce Perry, and the other by concert pianist, James Rhodes. You'll find the links to where you can purchase these books listed below.  If you're a survivor, a loved one, or a professional in the field of investigating or prosecuting sexual assault cases, this conversation is a reminder to keep looking until the story you're told matches the truth you feel. I love how David's through-line is simple and powerful: if the explanations you've been given don't make sense, don't stop. Keep asking better questions. Keep seeking better care. And keep choosing the kind of community that believes you, and  stands with you. An important side note: if you're finding value in these episodes, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating on your podcast platform. AND, please send me a note of support. I can't tell you how much your emails mean to me—they fuel my passion to keep this podcast going. Here's my email address:   Thank you to all of you who have reached out to me already; and, if you're interested in guesting on the show, please mention that in your email or text, and provide me with a phone number where I can reach you. Please keep those emails and texts coming…I truly look forward to hearing from you! Here are some critically important links that I hope you'll take the time to explore, and where a contribution is requested, please consider doing so!—Thank you!!

Iain Campbell, Ph.D. is a leading voice in the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry, exploring how nutrition can transform mental health. His research focuses on how ketogenic interventions may help treat conditions like depression and bipolar disorder. Dr. Campbell is at the forefront of a movement that's redefining how we think about the brain, metabolism, and mental well-being. “We saw in just 8 weeks on a ketogenic diet, 11 to 13% reductions in brain glutamate in patients with bipolar disorder. And as their ketone levels went up, their mental health symptoms went down.”   In this episode, Drs.

Looking for more DTP Content? Check us out: www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-links Host John Scardena sits down with Moose Mutlow, Search and Rescue (SAR) expert, author, and instructor based in Yosemite National Park. With over 20 years of frontline experience in swiftwater rescue, recovery, and family liaison operations, Moose shares hard-won lessons about humility, leadership, and resilience in the face of tragedy. The episode opens with John contextualizing a recent Yosemite accident—emphasizing that the discussion was recorded before that event but underscores the real-world gravity of Moose's work. Realities of Search & Rescue Operations Yosemite averages 220 SAR missions annually, from twisted ankles to multi-day helicopter recoveries. Moose recounts six-month recovery efforts and multi-year search closures, explaining how search theory must adapt to reality.  Leadership, Ego, and Humility A central thread throughout the episode is balancing confidence and humility. Moose and John explore the dangers of overconfidence—both in rescues and leadership. “A good leader listens, delegates, and lets go of control,” Moose notes. “You're not the hero if you can't come home.” They discuss teaching younger rangers through “safe humility”—allowing controlled failure to build competence and self-awareness.Emotional Health & Responder Wellness Moose details using the stress continuum to track emotional health, emphasizing the importance of processing trauma before it compounds. He explains the role of Family Liaison Officers in managing information flow to grieving families—balancing empathy, structure, and control. Both men share personal experiences with loss and coping, from fatal rescues to family grief, reinforcing that “holding space in silence” can be the most powerful act of compassion. Writing, Reflection, and Legacy Moose's books—When Accidents Happen and Searching—help responders process trauma through structured reflection. Writing, he says, “forces you to articulate intuition,” turning instinctive experience into teachable frameworks for others. John parallels this idea to the podcast's mission: amplifying field wisdom for professional development and collective growth. The Humanity in Service “Service is a gift, but it comes at a cost,” Moose says, calling for responders to protect their humanity rather than armor it away. The episode ends with a heartfelt reminder to reach out for help, celebrate small joys, and share mental health resources with others.

The world offers us a never-ending catalogue of answers on how to find fulfillment. We're told that if we buy enough things, travel to enough places, or win enough trophies, then we'll be satisfied. Pastor John Munro cuts through all the lies to help us discover how we can truly be fulfilled.

Send us a textThe Ancient Faith - Caleb SpeerI therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:1–6, ESV)We are called to be unified as one. We must also be one with God. We are to reflect his image from ourselves and choices. This oneness is what unites us in Christ and God. We are called to be unified in Christ. We must strive for it. We are one because Christ died on the cross, not because we agree on something. Unity does not equal uniformity. Though diversity is essential, this is by design with God. Though at first it may seem to be divisive, the Ephesian and Roman letters were written to illustrate this. What was designed by God is this Ancient faith. It provides us a family for us to strive together. Because it isn't new, we must go back to the foundations of the church that Christ established. What is the result? We invite you to the community striving for unity while the world is out to divide us. Fighting for unity makes us holy and bears the fruit of the Spirit. We have to consider giving up some of our personal wants in order to unify. Christ is what unifies us regardless of race, culture, tradition, locale, or nationality. =====Searching for answers to life's questions? Need help finding a church? Drop us a line.

1. Searching for Love2. Judging Correctly3. Finding MercyToday's sermon, "Longing for Love," explored Luke 7:36-49, contrasting the attitudes of Simon the Pharisee and the sinful woman who anointed Jesus' feet. This passage reminds us that we all have a God-shaped void in our hearts that only Jesus can fill. The sermon highlighted how true satisfaction comes not from worldly success or religious pride, but from humbly seeking God's forgiveness and love.Takeaways:- God knows everything about us, including our hidden thoughts and past, yet He still offers us forgiveness and love.- We should be careful not to judge others harshly, as we all are in need of God's mercy and grace.- True repentance and humility before God lead to freedom, forgiveness, and a transformed life.As we go through this week, let's remember that no matter our past or current struggles, Jesus invites us to come to Him. He offers forgiveness, love, and a new beginning to all who approach Him with sincere hearts.May we be like the woman in the story - willing to humble ourselves before Jesus and receive His transforming love.

After two long years President Trump has announced a ceasefire agreement which should see the remaining hostages returned home in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners. How have the families of Israeli hostages and their loved ones, held captive in dark tunnels for hundreds of days, managed to hold onto hope? Do people deepen their faith during periods of immense suffering, or turn away from religion? For this edition of Heart and Soul, Naomi Scherbel-Ball explores how, two years on since the October 7th attacks, hostages and their families see their lives and their faith. Many of those held hostage in Gaza come from the kibbutzim, largely secular communities that border Gaza, or were taken from the Nova music festival. Some of those released have spoken about reconnecting with their Jewish faith, with one female hostage even translating her prayers into Arabic so she would be allowed to continue to pray by her captors. Others speak of the strength they found in their family, the kibbutzim movement and community. 65-year-old American-Israeli Keith Siegel, who was kidnapped with his wife Aviva, explains how his connection to Judaism deepened during nearly 500 days in captivity. On his release, his daughter asked what he would like for their first family shabbat meal together after nearly 500 days. “What I want most is a kippah and a kiddush cup”, he answered, referring to the head covering worn by observant Jewish men and the symbolic cup that is held during the Friday night blessing in Judaism. Now back with his family in Israel, he says his heart is not whole until the remaining hostages return. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the worldProduced and Presented by Naomi Scherbel-Ball Executive Producer: Rajeev Gupta Editor: Chloe Walker

David Wood—an Australian journalist and copywriter now based in Darwin—reached out to me after listening to SASS and recognizing his own story in the voices of others. I was immediately captivated by David's email…which turned into several emails through our ongoing efforts to make this episode happen. The bumps in the road as we struggled to put this together were well worth it for me. And, I think you'll also find it well worth it to listen to David's episodes.  As you'll hear, David, with his ample talent articulating his experiences (which I attribute this to his expert abilities as an experienced professional writer), paints a vivid picture of life in the Northern Territory—crocodiles, cyclones, cattle stations (what we in America call ranches), and monsoonal rains—then opens the door to the harder terrain he's had to cross: decades of depression, shame, and a long search for what was really happening beneath the surface. David's life was shaped by early childhood and adolescent pressure to fit a role, the silence of an emotionally constricted household, and the slow, eventual, collapse that followed: failing out of school, drinking to cope, and repeatedly trying to rebuild. He shares how journalism became both a refuge and a battleground—holding power to account in a frontier city while privately fighting to get out of bed, to think clearly, to simply function. Along the way David describes the independent newspaper company he worked for that took on government blacklisting, the stories that toppled leaders, and the cost of doing that work when your nervous system is already on fire. David's story is not a neat “treatment plan,” but a messy, honest, human journey: forty mental-health professionals, trials that didn't help, medications with harmful tradeoffs, and the painful realization that many answers he'd been given didn't fit his lived reality. David lived through the humiliation of being labeled “treatment-resistant,” the limits of purely cognitive fixes, and the experiences of meditation, a different kind of therapeutic relationship, and a commitment to stop turning away from pain began to move the needle. From my lens, David makes a compelling case for seeing depression and anxiety not as character flaws, but as signals—rooted in love withheld, in stories untold, and in bodies that learned to survive more than they could name. I am particularly appreciative of how David describes how memory works when trauma muddies the timeline, and why shame can masquerade as consent to a life you never chose. But even more amazing is his realization of how a witness—someone who sees you—can become the hinge on which healing turns. David doesn't glamorize suffering; he demystifies it for us. And while doing so, he gives amazing language to what so many male survivors carry in silence: the pressure to perform, the terror of feeling, and the hope that returns—slowly—when you refuse to abandon yourself. If you're a survivor, a loved one, or a professional, this conversation is a reminder to keep looking until the story you're told matches the truth you feel. I love how David's through-line is simple and powerful: if the explanations you've been given don't make sense, don't stop. Keep asking better questions. Keep seeking better care. And keep choosing the kind of community that believes you, and  stands with you. Make sure you tune in next week for Part 2! It's a power culmination of the grit of human pain and healing. You don't want to miss it!! An important side note: if you're finding value in these episodes, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating on your podcast platform.

This is the afternoon All-Local update on Tuesday, Oct. 7.

On October 7, 2023, members of Hamas launched attacks in Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking roughly 250 people hostage. Israel responded by launching a war in the Gaza Strip, with the aim of eliminating Hamas. Since then, more than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed, and much of Gaza has been destroyed.Two years later, reverberations of that initial attack and the ongoing war continue. The ensuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza has led to a global protest movement in support of Palestinians. At the same time, antisemitic incidents have been on the rise in the diaspora. In the years since October 7, dinner table conversations in Jewish families have increasingly centred on – do we still feel safe in our homes? And what responsibility do we feel for the destruction that is happening in another land? These are questions that have led to division – and reckoning – within Jewish communities.Globe columnist and author of October 7: Searching for the Humanitarian Middle Marsha Lederman joins Decibel producer Michal Stein for a conversation from a Canadian Jewish perspective in understanding what's happened since October 7 and how it impacts them today.Questions?

Paul Riedl and Morris Kolontyrsky of Blood Incantation discuss the incredible 1st year of the album "Absolute Elsewhere", how it's transformed their lives and art, the creation of the record, the band's deep interest in vinyl collecting and lots more. Enter to win a signed vinyl copy of "Absolute Elsewhere" by becoming a sponsor at Patreon.com/VinylGuide Topics Include: Absolute Elsewhere transformed their lives: bigger venues, mainstream press, entirely new audiences. Album allows new stage production; band already writing faster than ever before. Now headlining shows in US; Europe tours were always headliners, just smaller. Forbes called it one of most important death metal records in history. Record serves as gateway, exposing listeners to extreme metal and progressive influences. Vinyl LP format is their artistic endpoint; last two albums are side-long tracks. Twenty-minute sides provide perfect breathing room for their narrative-driven compositions and riffs. Maxed out Pro Tools voices at Hansa Studios during Absolute Elsewhere recording sessions. First three records recorded live on analog tape; complete takes, minimal punch-ins. Absolute Elsewhere used hybrid approach: drums on tape, then built digitally with Arthur. Recording live on tape creates collective synergy and tension they want captured. Band uses Oblique Strategies cards; asks "what would Trey, Chuck, or Eno do?" Paul designs all layouts; collects test pressings and creates prototype covers himself. Searching for roughly 200 more records; has specific rare pressings in mind. Weakling's Dead as Dreams LP extremely rare; basement flood destroyed most copies. Double album versus double LP distinction: complementary discs versus interrupted single work. Songs start with riffs that suggest where to go; excitable band keeps moving. Timewave Zero was critical palate cleanser enabling more holistic collaborative approach forward. Tangerine Dream collaboration manifested unexpectedly; Thorsten used vintage Edgar Froese Mellotron samples. Future dreams include Brian Eno, Steve Roach; already have secret collaborations lined up.

Dan Blaker was trapped in a sales job he despised while struggling to manage his mother's vacation rental with unreliable cleaners. Searching for an escape, he stumbled upon MaidThis, a cleaning franchise specializing in short-term rentals. With no entrepreneurial background, Dan took a huge risk, securing a personal loan with his mother's help to buy in and start his side hustle.The beginning was a grind of late-night training calls and weekend work. The real test came when he was unexpectedly fired from his sales job, losing his only safety net. This pivotal moment forced him to go all-in on his business, hitting the streets with scrappy marketing tactics to survive. That pressure paid off—today, Dan's generates over $250,000 a year, and he now trains other entrepreneurs entering the system.In this interview, Dan joins Ryan Atkinson to share his incredible journey from frustrated employee to successful business owner. Tune in to learn about how to start side hustle apart from your day jobl, how he secured funding, and the resilient mindset required to build a profitable business from the ground up.Takeaways:- "Messy, imperfect action" will always beat cautious, slow, and manageable growth. Don't wait for the perfect plan; just get started.- Losing your financial safety net can be a powerful catalyst, forcing you to commit fully and get resourceful with your business.- When starting with limited funds, invest your time instead of your money. Scrappy, in-person marketing like networking and visiting potential clients can be highly effective.- The emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship are real. Learn to separate your feelings from the data-driven needs of the business to make logical decisions.- Focus on the lifetime value (LTV) of a customer. Offering flexibility or a discount upfront can secure a client worth thousands of dollars over the long term.- You don't need to reinvent the wheel. A franchise can provide the systems, playbook, and support network necessary to accelerate growth.- Starting a business often requires creative financing. Don't be afraid to take calculated risks, like securing a personal loan, if you believe in your model.- Resilience is a muscle built during the lowest points. Pushing through tough times equips you with the experience to know you can handle future challenges.- A franchise is not a passive investment. It requires just as much hard work, accountability, and late nights as starting a business from scratch.- Nobody knows exactly what they're doing when they start. The difference between a wannabe and an entrepreneur is the one who takes action despite the uncertainty.Tags: Side Hustle, Entrepreneurship, Business Growth, Cleaning Business, Small Business, Financial FreedomResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Connect with Dan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaXBeYDSDqI

In 2013, a popular national TV host provoked a sharp reaction from Christian viewers when he asserted that much of the Bible is allegorical, meaning that the narratives of Adam and Eve, Noah, and Jonah are non-literal and symbolic. This is not how Christians have historically understood allegory. Even in the Middle Ages, when ingenious allegorical interpretation sometimes resulted in nonsense, Christians still approached the Bible with the conviction that it was literal and historical — they just thought they were finding additional symbolic or spiritual meanings. While the Lutheran Reformation reined in allegorical interpretation of the Bible, there is one divinely inspired allegory given in Scripture that stands alongside messianic prophecy and typology as an interpretive technique for opening the Old Testament. Whether or not St. Paul's example gives license to Lutherans to do allegory — that's debatable! Rev. Carl Roth, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Elgin, TX, joins Sarah to talk about the “Searching Scripture” feature in the October 2025 issue of the Lutheran Witness titled “Do Lutherans Do Allegory?” on selected passages from Genesis and Galatians. This year, “Searching Scripture” is themed “Opening the Old Testament” and will walk through ways that the Old Testament witnesses to Jesus Christ and His grace, mercy and peace, delivered through the holy Christian church. Follow along every month and search Scripture with us! Find online exclusives of the Lutheran Witness at witness.lcms.org and subscribe to the Lutheran Witness at cph.org/witness.
