Send a textIn this episode, Seattle civil rights leader Nate Miles  reflects on the life and legacy of the iconic civil rights champion Jesse Jackson.Miles shares how his admiration for Jackson turned into a genuine friendship over the years. During Jackson's visits to Seattle, Miles became known for memorizing some of Jackson's most powerful speeches and delivering them in a spot-on imitation of Jackson's unmistakable cadence and style. Jackson enjoyed it so much that he would often ask Miles to perform when they saw each other.Beyond the stories and laughter, Miles also reflects on Jackson's profound political and social impact—from his work alongside Martin Luther King Jr. to his national campaigns that pushed issues of racial and economic justice into the political mainstream.Miles reminds us that Jackson's message of equality, opportunity, and justice is far from finished—and that the work to build a more equitable America must continue.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has announced a plan to add 1,000 shelter beds to address the city's growing homelessness problem. However, concrete details regarding the execution and funding of this ambitious project remain scarce. Wilson aims to utilize tiny home villages, proposing legislation to streamline permitting and encourage community involvement. While forwarding three legislative pieces, including easing lease agreements and allocating $4.5 million, concerns linger about the plan's overall financial viability. Increasing the size of tiny home villages is part of the strategy, yet residents in areas like the Central District express a need for safety and guidelines. This initiative sparks debate on effective solutions for Seattle's homelessness crisis, the role of city leadership, and financial responsibility. The homeless plan and Seattle's future are at stake. Seattle, Katie Wilson, homelessness, tiny homes.

In our latest episode, we ask a different question about mental health: What if anxiety and depression are signals, not just diagnoses? I'm joined by Dr. Peter Bongiorno, naturopathic doctor and functional medicine expert specializing in integrative mental health, to explore how inflammation, nutrient status, mitochondrial function, and gut health shape mood and behavior. We move beyond symptom suppression and into root cause investigation. Why are so many patients still struggling despite conventional care? What role do inflammation and blood-brain barrier integrity play? How does the gut-brain axis influence anxiety and depression? And why is sleep non-negotiable for mitochondrial repair and emotional resilience? Dr. Bongiorno breaks down the biological drivers of mental health, from nutrient deficiencies and hormonal shifts to neuroinflammation and vagal tone. We also discuss why lifestyle interventions often need to come before supplementation, and how functional psychology integrates physiology with emotional well-being. If you want a deeper understanding of how to approach mental health through the lens of systems biology, this conversation delivers clarity, practicality, and a roadmap forward.   Key takeaways: Natural Approaches to Mental Health: Discussing the growing traction of natural therapies, focusing on lifestyle, nutrition, and addressing biological imbalances. Nutrient Deficiencies and Mental Health: Exploring key nutrients such as vitamin D, B12, and magnesium, and their vital roles in neurotransmitter production and mood regulation. Importance of the Gut-Brain Axis: Highlighting how gut health impacts mental wellness through mechanisms involving microbiota and vagus nerve communication. Role of Sleep and Exercise: Addressing the essential contributions of restful sleep and physical activity to overall mental health, emphasizing the balance of mitochondrial function. Herbal and Supplementary Support: Assessing the effectiveness of supplements like St. John's Wort and saffron as supportive measures in managing depressive symptoms.   More About Dr. Peter Bongiorno:   Dr. Peter Bongiorno is on a mission to revolutionize psychiatric care by integrating effective holistic healing into mental health practice. Since 2004, his thriving practices in New York have transformed countless lives. A graduate of Bastyr University in Seattle, where he earned his naturopathic doctor degree in 2003 and served as class speaker, Dr. Bongiorno's journey began by researching as a pre-doctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Mental Health and Yale University's Department of Pharmacology. In 2008, Dr. Bongiorno authored the groundbreaking textbook Healing Depression published by CCNM Press – the first textbook on integrative medicine for depression, marking a significant milestone in the field. Since then, he has produced numerous influential papers, textbook chapters, and books, passionately educating the medical community on the most effective natural methods to heal mood disorders. His latest essential text, Holistic Solutions for Anxiety and Depression, is published by Norton. For the public, his books are Put Anxiety Behind You and How Come They're Happy and I'm Not?, which offer actionable insights into Dr. Bongiorno's effective methods for naturally overcoming anxiety and depression. His books have been translated into multiple languages, including Chinese and Italian.

Friday. Brad Crowell 0:03  Fuck yeah. Lesley Logan 0:04  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 0:44  Hi, Be It babe. Hello, happy FYF, our first one on March. Are you ready? Are you in it? This year is just it's going by. There's a lot going on, so much I could say, but we're gonna start with some something that was inspiring and cool, that that I found on the internet. So this is from herstory_feminism. Did you know women's athletics entered the Olympics because one woman forced the issue by building her own games. Meet Alice Milliat. In the earliest 20th century, women were largely banned from competitive athletics, yes, we know, but the Olympic Committee claimed running, jumping and throwing were dangerous for women's bodies, too strenuous, too unfeminine, too much. So women were excluded, officially and unapologetically. Alice Milliat was a French sports administrator who refused to accept that answer. She believed women were not fragile. They were restricted, and if institutions wouldn't change, she would go around them. In 1921 Alice Milliat founded the Federation Sportive Feminine Internationale. I didn't say that with a French accent, I am sorry. Then she did something radical. She organized the Women's World Games, international competitions where women ran, jumped through and competed at elite level in front of crowds of tens of thousands, no permission required. The games were a success. They drew athletes, spectators and press attention, and suddenly the Olympics had a problem. Women's Sports was thriving without them. Under pressure, the IOC agreed to include women's athletics in the 1928 Olympic games, but only a limited number of events, and only after years of resistance. Once women were absorbed into the Olympic system. Alice Milliat was quietly pushed out. The Women's World Games were discontinued. Her organization dissolved. Her name faded from official history. The institution kept the change. The woman who forced it disappeared. Of course. Alice Milliat didn't ask for inclusion. She built an alternative so strong it made exclusion impossible. Women didn't enter the Olympics because attitude softened. The injured because a woman proved the ban was unnecessary. History remembers the institution. It forgets a disruption that forced it to change. So I am just obsessed and with like, I just think that's so cool. What a badass. It's so hard to do something scary and new like that. But she didn't ask for permission. Just did it. And I think, like, isn't that being it till we see it? We don't actually need permission from anyone to do what it is that we want to do. Make sure you just get to do it. So I just want to say, if there's something that you're waiting for someone to deem you worthy of doing, I wouldn't. I would just go do it. And it's really scary. I get it. We're working on something right now that may or may not happen when it when I it's for sure happening, I will definitely shout it out and let you know. But part of me is like, oh, my god, is this the right time? Who are we to do this? We don't have, like, like, we could do it, but like, you know, so just know that, like, you need it all from you. The permission comes from you. Lesley Logan 3:29  All right, we're getting, this is my first FYF that I'm recording, I think, this year. And I'm, I'm just definitely, like, getting back into the swing of things. So if you are, you're like, wow, she sounds a little disorganized. I am just a little bit. Okay, so this is the fyfs where, this is where I actually share your wins. And you guys posted a ton of wins when I asked a few weeks back, so I'm going to read a few of them for you. So I do your wins. I do my wins. And really, we're just here to have a short time together where we go, whoa. Look at all the badasses that (inaudible) like women, you guys are so amazing. I know we have a few good men who listen. Thanks so much. But I'm really but I'm really so proud of how we can constantly find wins in all the muck, right? So this is from Yasmin. She said my biggest win is one week without Instagram to focus on other things. Yasmin, the time I'm recording this like I have to tell you right now, I actually haven't posted in days. I've just been kind of reposting from Profitable Pilates and Be It Till You See It, be it till I see it. And I'm like, why don't we call it Be It Till We See It. It's a group effort. And I am loving it because I have to have focus on other things, like it's being the beast is annoying, and so I'm so happy for you. What that is such a huge win, by the way, because it's kind of addictive. All right. Rachel from Seattle, rach.sos.vib, she wrote, I skied, taught fantastic classes and learned how to use earphones to record with Zoom for eLevate. You know what? Huge wins. You went out, took a break when skiing. You know, you had some fantastic classes that you you taught, like, way to pat yourself on the back. I love that. And then you learned how to use some earphones to record it. You know what? We all have to be beginners again. There's always something to be a beginner and like, it's so good for our brains to do that. So, way to go. All right, one more win from you guys. This is from anniecaminpilates. My wins, being present with my kiddos, getting decent sleep, getting outside for movement and fresh air despite crazy winter weather. You know what? Let me just say, huge win. If you can do all of that with kiddos and crazy winter weather, you're you're kicking ass. So you see how wins can be like something like so simple, I just didn't do Instagram for a week. Like, I am on a mission for more women to see that they are winning at things. They're winning at life because the world is trying to tell us that we're not, and they're doing that because if we banded together, we'd kick some ass, we'd run the world. We'd harness the sun's energy. That's what my yoga teacher said this morning, and I couldn't agree more. Lesley Logan 5:38  All right, so let me tell you my win. So here's where, while we're talking, I have actually had my annual visit with my lady doctor. I scheduled my MRI for my breast visits, and I met with a psychiatrist about my ADHD, and I met with a breast doctor about my high risk. So I am just saying, like, just saying, like, wow, it's March 6, and I've done all the important doctor's appointments I need to do this year, and I just, I'm so proud of myself. I call that a win, especially for someone who hates making phone calls, like I really do. And then the MRI was not easy. I actually had to drive there because, like, scheduling over the phone is just a disaster with doctor's offices these days. In the year of our Lord 2026 with all the AI in the world, you got to go in person if you want to get an appointment that actually can be kept, because, if you remember, last year, they rescheduled it multiple times because it kept getting scheduled during someone's lunch. How does that happen? How does it happen? Lunches should be blocked out. So anyways, my win is like we got them all done, and it's only March. I've got a plan for this year. I'm really excited. I'll share more about my ADHD journey as I have information for you, but just freaking stoked. Lesley Logan 6:42  So now let's give you a mantra and send you on your amazing way. Every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. What a fun mantra to draw on this day. Every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. Yes, every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. I mean, every act of self-care is a step toward being it till you see it, babe. All right, you know what to do. Send this to a friend who needs to hear it. Go, send your wins into the beitpod.com/questions you can send your questions there as well. And then, you know, share this episode with a friend. I already said that. So why don't you share this episode with a friend? Then, you know, go Be It Till You See It. Go, have a good day. Thanks so much.

In this episode of The Perceptive Photographer, I sit down with Jenny Hansen Das a great friend and Seattle-based fine art photographer whose work has always amazed me as it finds intersections of beauty, absurdity, and deep emotional connection and notions of everyday life. Jenny’s photography centers on the simplicity of the everyday but presents it in unexpected ways, combining analog and digital modes and prioritizing the creative process over where an image originates. Her experimentation with alternative processes including chromoskedasic sabatier, image transfers, and cyanotypes reflect a deep interest in pushing the boundaries of photographic expression, often resulting in handcrafted, one-of-a-kind works that cannot be reproduced.  We dive into a rich conversation about exceptions in photography .You know those happy accidents, rule-breaks, and process surprises that lead to the most compelling work, as well as the realities of working with galleries and navigating the fine art world as a practicing photographer. Just a little about her, she completed the Certificate in Fine Art Photography at the Photographic Center Northwest in 2023, and is also the founder of The Seattle Light Room, a community darkroom and gallery in the Seward Park neighborhood of Seattle. As you will hear, this is a space dedicated to keeping analog photographic traditions alive and accessible and hosting interesting and relevant photographic art shows in the gallery. You can explore her photography portfolio at jennyhansendas.com and follow her work on Instagram at @jennyhansendas.

Ever wondered what happens when gelato meets a Ferris wheel? Sam and Jeff are back after their Seattle adventure, and honestly, this trip had everything. They nearly missed their 5:30 flight thanks to an airport power outage and an overly chatty 3 a.m. Uber driver who couldn't stop talking about San Francisco rent prices. (Trust me, not the conversation you want at that hour.)In Seattle, they hit Pike Place Market for Beecher's mac and cheese and Greek gelato with exotic flavors, toured Lumen Field home of the Seattle Seahawks, and explored the Pop Culture Museum's impressive collections. The Chihuly Gardens featured stunning glass sculptures, and the Space Needle shot them up in just thirty-eight seconds. Their ferry ride to Bainbridge Island proved delightful and relaxing with beautiful views.But let's talk about that Ferris wheel incident—one speaker's indulgent food choices created an increasingly uncomfortable situation over multiple rotations that required an urgent exit. They also caught a Disney Villains brunch at a queer bar, enjoyed espresso martinis throughout the day, and dealt with a birthday party host who refused to share cake.The chaos, the food, the mishaps—it's all here. Listen to find out which moment almost derailed the entire trip.

Starbucks is moving a portion of its Seattle-based corporate workforce to Nashville, Tennessee. Citing Nashville as "an ideal location" for a stronger Southeast presence, Starbucks COO Mike Grams framed the move as a strategic decision to support growth across North America. While Seattle will remain the North America and Global Support headquarters, the company will evaluate further transitions to Nashville. The move follows a $1 billion restructuring plan, including 900+ corporate layoffs and store closures. Tennessee state and local leaders have welcomed the announcement, praising the job creation and corporate investment it will bring to Nashville. Is this the end of Starbucks in Seattle, or a smart move to expand?

What happens when a viral app asks you to think of “death,” “scared,” or “answers” and then sends you to a random point on the map? We take a clear-eyed tour through Randonautica's strangest stories—EVPs in bright daylight, a rusted car on an ATV trail, a roadside fence lined with burnt dolls, and the headline-grabbing Seattle suitcase case—while asking whether intention steers chance or chance fills in our intentions.We break down what the app claims to do, how users set intentions, and why vague prompts can turn ordinary spaces into ominous ones. You'll hear how urban explorers landed at an abandoned house and met the police, why a couple's “scared” prompt ended with a white Mustang following them, and how a simple word like “orange” pointed to traffic cones. Along the way, we separate plausible coincidences from obvious fakes, explore how social media rewards the most extreme narratives, and consider the psychology that makes pattern recognition feel supernatural when fear is high and expectations are set.This isn't just a reel of shock stories. We talk risk, ethics, and practical safety: go in daylight, bring friends, avoid private property, and choose neutral or positive intentions if you're going to try it at all. Curiosity has value, but it also needs boundaries—especially when “random” routes can drop you into real danger or legal trouble. If you've ever wondered whether an app can bend fate, or whether we're just very good at finding meaning in the margins, this conversation will give you a grounded framework to think about both.If you enjoy thoughtful, spooky explorations with real-world takeaways, follow the show, share this episode with a curious friend, and leave a review to tell us what intention you'd set next.

Ten years ago, when I couldn't get more than four days without drinking, I kept thinking about one thing: my son. He was eight years old. And I imagined him ten years into the future. I stopped drinking when Hank was almost eight and Lila was almost two. Not because everything fell apart—but because I could see where things were headed if nothing changed. Fast-forward a decade. On my 50th birthday, my son texted asking if he could have his friends over that night to play poker. He didn't hesitate. He didn't worry. He didn't second-guess inviting people into our home. And that was my full-circle moment. I'm celebrating 10 years alcohol-free, and I invited my son Hank (17) and my daughter Lila (11) onto the podcast for a real conversation about our family then vs. now. We talk about what they remember, what they don't, how teens actually think about drinking today, and what really changes inside a family when alcohol is no longer part of the picture.

Free agency nears for the Seattle Seahawks after the NFL Combine. In NFC West news, the Rams acquiring All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs means they're going to continue to go all in. The Seahawks roster squeeze will be felt on special teams after reports that contract talks with return ace Rashid Shaheed aren't close. It's very likely he hits the market and we'll have to wonder if his special-teams value and his complementary receiver role can be filled by Tory Horton, through free agency or the draft. The discussion also covers Seattle's decision to allow Jake Bobo to test free agency, and the expectation that Drake Thomas merits a RFA tender. Finally, we close with thoughts on Kyler Murray exiting Arizona and speculation about Malik Willis as a potential Cardinals QB target.  Support the show Get in the Flock!

Chasing the Champs, Skipping the Myths Michael Grey and Jacson Bevens from The Cigar Thoughts Podcast have an offseason check-in built around one question: how do you chase a champion without convincing yourself there is a secret code? Bevens shares his insights fresh off a Seahawks title run he says he is determined to savor. He remembered how the first championship a dozen years ago got blunted by the way the following Super Bowl ended. This time, he is taking nothing for granted. That perspective anchored a clear theme. Everyone in the NFL tries to reinvent the latest champion. Mock drafts pile up. Free agent priorities harden. Armchair GMs get loud. But this Seattle season did not look preordained in September. By December, it did. The shift matters for Lions fans trying to separate lessons from mirages. Health, Schedule, and a Thursday Night Pivot Bevans traced two pillars. First, health. He called it the tie that binds Super Bowl champions. Seattle stayed remarkably healthy by modern standards. Second, the league's shape helped. Expected powers stumbled. The Chiefs cratered. The Bills were good, not great. The Ravens cratered. The Lions cratered. The Eagles stacked wins without looking convincing. The Niners took a ton of injuries. Suddenly there were good teams but not great ones in the AFC, and in the NFC it was largely Seattle and the Rams. One inflection point stood out. A Thursday night win over the Rams pushed Seattle into pole position. From there, they held serve. Bevans also admitted he was bullish early. The opening win total sat at seven and a half. Last year's team had won 10. He put his biggest sports bet on Seattle to clear it, and they did so with room to spare. Detroit Lions Takeaways for a Real NFL Sprint So what should the Detroit Lions actually copy? Start with availability. Health powered Seattle's sprint. Next, accept evolution. September narratives lie. December decides. There is no single formula to import. Defensive head coach talking points will surface all offseason, but context and roster shape matter more than slogans. Grey framed it as an offseason mandate. Build smart. Own free agent priorities. Treat mock drafts as tools, not gospel. Avoid chasing a dynasty script before you win the next game. The Seahawks were not crowned in camp. They earned status piece by piece, then protected it. That is the blueprint worth stealing for the Detroit Lions in a ruthless NFL. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #seattleseahawks #nfcrace #ramsthursdaynightwin #superbowlchampions #wintotal7.5 #injuriesandhealth #mockdrafts #freeagentpriorities #armchairgm #quarterbacksmith #dkmetcalf #afchadnogreatteams #ninersinjuries #bestteaminthenfl Learn more about your ad choices.
