There is something magical that happens when you sit with someone who has lived adventure as both an inner and outer journey. My conversation with Melissa Rodway brought me right back to why I love exploring the heart of travel. It is not only about the places we go. It is about the inner shifts, awakenings, and quiet truths that rise up when we let ourselves be present to what the road is teaching us.Melissa is an author, journalist, and former host of Fly Travel Radio. In today's preview, she shares how her relationship with travel has changed as she has grown and how purpose found her on a long eco luxury trip fifteen years ago. What began as simple emails eventually became the start of her book. We touched on travel fatigue, travel judgment, creativity, and the honest moments in between that shape who we become as travelers and as people.This short preview is just a taste of what is coming later this week. We saved the deeper stories for Wednesday's full episode including an unforgettable encounter she had on the road and the new adventures she is dreaming into. If you love conversations that explore travel, humor, reinvention, and the paradox of finding yourself through movement, you will want to come back for the full interview.A couple of reflections to carry with youTravel changes as we change and each season of life invites a new way of exploringPurpose often finds us in quiet moments when we least expect itWhere to find MelissaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fly_travel_mediaWebsite: https://www.flyrodway.comPodcast Archive: https://on.soundcloud.com/bLhpxbhiQRk0J0mTWWThe People You Meet book: https://a.co/d/6PCUKN4Stay tuned for the full episode releasing this Wednesday.

The definition of “proximity” is nearness in space, time and relationship—Have you seen the movie CLOSER? With Natalie Portman and Jude Law? Super dark and twisty. It's my favorite movie of all time because it makes me feel a feeling. The intimacy, the raw and real side of what it really means to be in a relationship.This is what I mean when I say power of proximity— the ability to connect at a cellular level, to feel emotional expansion well beyond the glitz and glam of luxury photoshoots. I want the real activations behind the scenes. I want to know your MF soul and to sink my teeth into nitty gritty vibration of what it really means to be exactly who you are as my mentor.That's exactly what you get when you step into the upper division of Wonder World. Seeking so much more than a sequin hat and a big hat to manifest with???UMBRELLA is calling your name…
Professor Toby Wilkinson. Alexander the Great besieged Gaza, dragging its governor to death to mimic Achilles and signal his dominance. Seeking divine validation, he trekked to the Siwa Oasis, where priests confirmed him as the son of Zeus Ammon. He later founded Alexandria, orienting Egypt toward the Mediterranean. 1842 EGYPT
F*ck Fitting In is a deep dive into one of the most invisible forces shaping our lives: approval-seeking. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick exposes how most of us unknowingly construct an internal A.I., an Artificial Identity, a learned algorithm designed to gain acceptance, avoid conflict, and perform appropriately. Over time, this identity edits our words, tones, decisions, and even our sense of self, until we forget where the real us ends and the performance begins. Through sharp insight, cultural critique, and the lens of the Interface Response System (IRS), this conversation reveals how approval becomes a silent operating system that keeps us rehearsing the future, regretting the past, and missing the only place authenticity exists: the present moment. You'll learn how awareness cracks the code, how curiosity (“Hmmm?”) creates cognitive distance, and how authenticity returns when the mask powers down. This episode is a call to stop auditioning for life, stop being manipulable by algorithms, social or internal, and reclaim the courage to live from truth instead of approval. Because when you stop fitting in, you don't lose yourself… You finally get yourself back. Make Sense?

I am a physical Spirit being, Both here now and so much more. With intention, practice, and understanding, I can open and pass through the door. ☉Sawasdeekup New Paradigmers!Join me for The Astrology of 2026! https://bit.ly/48Zlndg With Venus square Neptune in the last degree of Pisces I believe I mirrored the universal chaos going on with today's Pele Report! Seeking for the perfect spot with the perfect background with no people… riding around from place to place until it was getting late and then having to settle for what simply was/presented itself. Acceptance of what is, which can involve letting go of the ideal, sound familiar from 2025? The microcosm mirrors the macrocosm, and in astrology one day after birth equals a year of life (secondary progression), so today mirrored 2025 pretty well for me LOL!!! Anyway, the bottom line of this week's report, if it wasn't clear in the report itself, is simply that we are more than the roles we play, more than we think we are, and more than the world tells us we are. Sometimes it's easy to forget who/what we really are (evolving soul beings)! At parties, family gatherings and during the holidays it can be harder because, especially with family, people from the past don't always know what changes you've gone through and can treat you like “the person they used to know.” So tempting to fall back into old identities! So yeah, not only are you not your “old self,” but you are an infinite spiritual being! Yes indeed! And this can be hard to remember sometimes too when things go wrong, bad, there's memories or events that didn't go our way. Hence the third line of the mantra this week: “With intention, practice, and understanding,” CAPRICORN/SATURN, yes? Commitment to our spiritual practice with an intention to grow and evolve, over time, will bring us the understanding that leads to liberation and ultimately, “enlightenment,” or Nirvana/Samadhi. Practice is continuing on through doubt, distraction, disappointment, and disillusionment, holding firmly to the goal envisioned, and MAKING IT HAPPEN. May you make it happen this holiday season. Blessings! This week's song is: https://youtu.be/-qKQeIOM3zg?si=GQOmtJ2IjIHxj1pF (The song starts at minute 2:59) So Much Love,Kaypacha
In this open discussion episode, host Sam J leads conversations about developing creative side projects, scaling passion projects into sustainable income streams, and navigating the challenges of marketing creative work. This episode covers: • Authenticity over perfection: Why unpolished, spontaneous content often performs better than highly-produced work—raw material feels more accessible and relatable to audiences • Marketing as the real challenge: Success depends less on quality and more on how many people see your work and understand its value through consistent visibility • Interactive audience engagement: Creating opportunities for audiences to participate in the creative process builds investment and community (like livestreaming with chat-controlled elements) • Strategic scaling decisions: Planning ahead for what happens if a side hustle becomes too successful, including when to delegate, hire help, or sell to focus on creative work rather than logistics • Platform strategy considerations: Understanding niche-focused social platforms and how different content types perform across Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and emerging platforms • Licensing and copyright protection: Navigating intellectual property concerns in an AI-saturated landscape, including basic protections like timestamped documentation and understanding what can't be copyrightedUpcoming Schedule: • No meetings for the rest of December and throughout January 2026—Monday Meeting returns in February • Discord remains open for community connection during the break • Seeking volunteers for hosting, video editing, social media, and content planning rolesVisit MondayMeeting.org for this episode and other conversations from the motion design community!SHOW NOTES:Monday Meeting PatreonMonday Meeting DiscordMondayMeeting LinkedInMondayMeeting InstagramMondayMeeting BlueskyMondayMeeting NewsletterBye FrisbieCreative DiceFood DiceMusic by BlanksSpecific example of Music By Blanks followers making a song

PREVIEW WARNING AGAINST FRAGMENTED STATE-LEVEL AI REGULATION Colleague Kevin Frazier. Kevin Frazier, a University of Texas Law School fellow, warns against fragmented AI regulation by individual states seeking tax revenue. He advocates for a national framework rather than hasty local laws, arguing that allowing technology to develop through "trial and error" is superior to heavy-handed, immediate restrictions.

There's a Sign - Pt.2 (Seeking a Sign) [Pastor Devyn] Sunday, Dec 14th by The House
Listen as Bleu comes up with a theory that Garrick is setting up Danielle for immigration fraud.
Seeking the Lord Wholeheartedly is an inspiring episode about pursuing God with complete devotion and sincerity. I explore what it means to commit your heart fully, remove distractions, and chase after His presence with passion and persistence. When our seeking is wholehearted intimacy with God becomes a daily reality.
In this episode, I break down what makes a man low value and why this is a warning, not an insult. There are more ways to fail than to succeed, and most men end up low value simply by drifting and not being intentional. This isn't about money, looks, or followers—it's about your energy, discipline, and standards. Low value men chase, overexplain, and move without direction, often without even realizing it. I'm laying this out so you can check yourself, build awareness, and make sure you don't slide into habits that hold you back. Show Notes: [07:27]#1 Seeking validation instead of giving direction. [13:06]#2 Low value men do not enforce boundaries on themselves nor on others. [22:17]#3 Low value Men spend their energy explaining why they are not winning.

What if the “techno-feudalism” boom is a symptom of our confusion rather than a diagnosis of the age? We sit down with Alex Hochuli (Bungacast, American Affairs) to interrogate the feudal metaphor and make a sharper case: we're living through total capitalism's decay, not a return to lords and serfs. That lens helps make sense of platform tolls, anti-market monopolies, surveillance, and institutional rot without pretending we've exited capitalism's basic relations of production.We trace why the feudal story resonates—unfreedom feels real—then test it against history. Feudalism meant manorial production, oath-bound sovereignty, and overlapping legal orders; our world runs on consolidated states, global supply chains, and platform intermediaries that convert risk into reliable rents. The better comparison is peripherization: practices once common in the periphery now shape the core, from precarious work to state-enabled accumulation. That shift helps explain why labor leverage has collapsed despite rising public sympathy: dispersed service shops, automated production, and logistics-dependence blunt traditional organizing power.China enters as Rorschach test: state capitalism, social credit, and surveillance make the feudal label tempting, yet the core logic remains capitalist, steered by growth imperatives and legitimacy management. We explore AI's forked path—job-displacing windfall or costly stagnation—and why care-economy fixes won't build a livable future on their own. If everyone secretly wants social democracy back, we ask what could replace the vanished conditions that once made it possible.The conversation ends with “dark hope.” Drop the costume drama, name the system we have, and fight for a directly political project that builds capacity: housing, grids, industry, and public institutions that actually work. Speak against oligarchy in terms a broad public can hear.

In a landmark interview on The Ash Said It Show, Tom Buchsbaum, co-founder of Austin Craft Spirits, detailed the origin story of a brand that is systematically redefining the American spirits landscape. Transitioning from tech innovation to precision distilling, Buchsbaum has positioned Austin 101 at the intersection of Texas Terroir and Environmental Stewardship. The Genesis: Solving the "Bourbon Fatigue" Market Gap Buchsbaum's moment of conviction came from identifying a "White Space" in the spirits industry. While the market was saturated with heavy, oak-forward Bourbons and spicy Ryes, there was a profound lack of high-clarity, grain-forward spirits. Austin 101 was engineered to bridge the gap between premium vodka and traditional whiskey. By utilizing the Light Whiskey designation, Buchsbaum's team distills at a higher purity—precisely between 160 and 190 proof—resulting in a spirit that retains the complex esters of the grain without the aggressive wood tannins of a virgin barrel. The Science of Texas Terroir: Steam Distillation The brand's "flavor-first" philosophy is powered by a custom-engineered 42-foot steam-jacketed column still. Unlike traditional direct-fire stills that can scorch the mash, Austin 101's precision thermal control operates below 210∘F. The Mash Bill: 100% Texas-grown non-GMO white corn, red winter wheat, and malted barley. The Profile: This low-temperature extraction preserves the signature butterscotch, vanilla, and stone fruit notes that have become the brand's sensory hallmark. Sustainability: The Circular Whiskey Economy Austin 101's commitment to Green Luxury is anchored in their Circular Aging Process. The distillery exclusively utilizes recycled American white oak barrels sourced from local Texas craft bourbon makers. This sustainable finishing serves two critical functions: Ecological Preservation: It drastically reduces the carbon footprint associated with new timber harvesting. Flavor Refinement: By using "seasoned" wood, the whiskey undergoes a mellow maturation that highlights the grain's natural sweetness rather than masking it behind heavy char. Future Trajectory: Scaling the "Texas Light" Global Category Small-Batch Precision at Scale As Austin 101 expands its distribution footprint beyond the Texas border, the brand employs a data-driven distillation model to ensure consistency. From the approachable Austin 85 to the award-winning Austin 111 Cask Strength, the scaling process remains rooted in small-batch integrity and rigorous quality control. The Next Frontier of Innovation Buchsbaum teased a roadmap of experimental releases designed to push the boundaries of the Light Whiskey category. Enthusiasts can expect: Grain-Specific Expressions: Leveraging high-rye mash bills for a "Light but Bold" profile. Experimental Cask Finishes: Utilizing the unique Texas climate to accelerate interactive aging in diverse secondary vessels. 2035 Vision: Defining Texas Whiskey Globally The long-term vision is clear: Austin 101 aims to be the global benchmark for Texas Light Whiskey. Within the next decade, Buchsbaum anticipates Light Whiskey becoming a mainstream pillar of the spirits industry, with Austin 101 leading the charge through its unique blend of technical precision, authentic provenance, and sustainable distilling. Web: https://www.austin101whiskey.c... About the brand: Austin 101 stands as a testament to geographic authenticity. Eschewing the shortcuts of mass-produced spirits, the distillery anchors its identity in Texas Terroir. Every drop is forged from a proprietary mash bill of 100% locally sourced grains, including non-GMO white corn, soft red winter wheat, and malted barley. By maintaining a strict grain-to-glass pipeline, Austin 101 ensures that the spirit remains an honest reflection of the Hill Country's agricultural heritage. The brand rejects artificial additives and chill-filtration, opting instead for a transparent expression of the raw ingredients. Precision Crafting: The Art of High-Proof Refinement The hallmark of Austin 101 is its precision distillation process. While conventional whiskeys often lean on heavy barrel char to mask imperfections, Austin 101 utilizes a high-proof distillation method (reaching between 160 and 190 proof) to isolate the most elegant flavor compounds. This technical rigor allows for the surgical removal of harsh congeners, leaving behind a clean, sophisticated "heart" of the spirit. The result is a structural complexity rarely found in American whiskey—a profile characterized by: Bright Top Notes: Notes of wildflower honey and stone fruit. Mid-Palate Depth: Rich layers of creamy butterscotch and Madagascar vanilla. A Refined Finish: A signature "light" exit that is exceptionally smooth, favoring subtle almond and spice over aggressive wood tannins. Visionary Sustainability and Circular Aging Austin 101 redefines luxury through the lens of environmental stewardship. Central to its mission is a pioneering Circular Aging Program. By maturing the spirit in recycled American white oak barrels, the distillery significantly mitigates the environmental impact of new timber harvesting. This sustainable approach is not merely an ecological choice but a flavor-driven one; the seasoned oak allows the delicate nuances of the Texas grain to flourish without being overwhelmed by the intense char of a virgin barrel. From localized grain procurement to water-conscious production, Austin 101 represents a new era of eco-conscious distilling, proving that a premium whiskey can be both world-class and world-respecting.

Isaiah 7 New King James VersionIsaiah Sent to King Ahaz7 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but could not prevail against it. 2 And it was told to the house of David, saying, “Syria's forces are deployed in Ephraim.” So his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller's Field, 4 and say to him: ‘Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah. 5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying, 6 “Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel”— 7 thus says the Lord God:“It shall not stand,Nor shall it come to pass.8 For the head of Syria is Damascus,And the head of Damascus is Rezin.Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be broken,So that it will not be a people.9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,And the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son.If you will not believe,Surely you shall not be established.” ' ”The Immanuel Prophecy10 Moreover the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 11 “Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above.”12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!”13 Then he said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

Without intending to, we often put pressure on ourselves from trying too hard and seeking to achieve goals that may be unreasonable, which amounts to doing more and more and becoming increasingly frustrated. Many "accomplished" people live on the edge of exhaustion and get no joy from what they do. If we turn in the direction we want to go, and then quiet our minds and listen for our own wisdom, we'll see what to do, at what pace, and we'll enjoy the journey as much as appreciating the destination.Support the show
When the world's leading voice in human-centered privacy joins forces with the high-octane energy of Ash Brown, the result is an eye-opening deep dive into the digital frontier. Ash Brown welcomes Ken Griggs, the Emmy award-winning technologist and CEO of Julia Social, for a timely conversation about the UK government's proposed nationwide digital ID system and its global implications. The Big Debate: Security vs. Surveillance Ken Griggs brings decades of expertise in blockchain technology and cryptography to dissect what a centralized digital ID truly means for the average citizen. While governments pitch these systems as a convenience for accessing public services, Ken sounds the alarm on the hidden costs to personal privacy and data autonomy. In this captivating episode, Ash and Ken explore: The Centralization Trap: Why storing the identity of an entire nation in a single database creates a high-risk honey pot for hackers and state actors. The Julia Social Vision: How Ken's work with Julia Social advocates for a decentralized identity approach, where individuals—not institutions—own and control their own data. The UK Digital ID Ripple Effect: Why the global community should watch these legislative moves closely, as they could set a groundbreaking or dangerous precedent for digital rights worldwide. Turning Tech Insight into Real-World Action Ash Brown's signature Authentic Optimism keeps the conversation grounded as Ken provides actionable insights on how listeners can protect their digital footprints today. From understanding the mechanics of Not.Bot to the security power of the Chia blockchain, this interview bridges the gap between complex tech and everyday life.

No Sundays, no saints, no salvation. As dechristianisation exploded in the capital, radical revolutionaries closed churches, forced abdications, and turned Notre-Dame into a Temple of Reason. Seeking to replace past errors with enlightenment values, the Cult of Reason was established with mixed success. This episode explores the dramatic escalation of dechristianisation, including the creation of the Cult of Reason. It also examines Bishop Gobel's resignation, and how marriages, abdications, and the cult itself varied across the nation. Revolutionary France Tour Join the waitlist here!

Spending time with Karen Wickerson feels like opening a quiet doorway into the wisdom of the animals who walk beside us. Karen is an animal telepath, a former clinical counselor, and the author of Listen to Your Animals: They Know More Than You Think. Her connection to animals began when she was three years old and realized she could communicate with them. As she grew older, she learned to silence that gift because the people around her didn't understand it, until her soul eventually pulled her back toward the work she was meant to do.Karen shares how she reached a point in her counseling career where she knew she was “about to hit the wall” and feared she might make a severe mistake with a family. That moment pushed her to plan her exit and step toward a life that aligned with her true calling. It led her to a trek to Mount Everest base camp with asthma and only 70 percent lung capacity, a journey that taught her the power of moving forward even half an inch at a time.We explore how she connects with animals across distance, how she reads their unique energy signatures, and what she has learned about their emotional worlds. Karen describes what really happens when animals cross over and how they often explain it as simply taking off a coat they no longer need. She also shares stories about grief, soul agreements, and the ways animals guide their humans through important life decisions.Karen's work is a reminder that our animals are not just pets. They are teachers, companions, and wise, sentient beings who understand far more than we often realize.Key Reflections• Animals communicate through energy, emotion and intention.• Our relationships with them are true partnerships that often stretch across lifetimes.• When an animal passes, its essence remains connected to us.• The choices we make at the end of their life are guided and never wrong.Links and ResourcesKaren's website: https://karenwickerson.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/karenwickersonanimaltelepath/Karen's Book: Send us a text Support the show✨ Join My TEDx Spokane Journey!

A season of reflection led us back into years of past conversations, where unexpected threads began to intertwine. In this episode, we bring those threads into conversation with each other—voices like Makoto Fujimura, Praveen Sethupathy, Krista Tippett, Mike McHargue, and Bill Newsome—to explore how both science and faith gesture toward wholeness in a world marked by fracture. Themes of mending, spiritual hunger, rest, and stubborn hope surface anew as these earlier moments speak to one another in ways we couldn't have anticipated at the time. What emerges is less a retrospective and more a fresh way of seeing: an invitation to notice the cracks, name them honestly, and discern the gold that might do the work of mending. Clips from this episode are from: Makoto Fujimura, Episode 110, 2022 Praveen Sethupathy, Episode 120, 2022 Krista Tippett, Episode 15, 2019 Mike McHargue, Episode 24, 2019 Bill Newsome, Episode 77, 2021

Family physician and writer Dr. Mara Gordon interviews psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Reid about her new book Guilt Free (releasing January, 27, 2026). The conversation explores why women experience disproportionate guilt, how to distinguish toxic from adaptive guilt, and practical strategies for managing guilt—especially during the holidays.The Guilt EquationDr. Reid breaks down guilt into a simple formula: Guilt = Expectations - Perceived Reality“Guilt is the difference between our expectations of ourselves, which are created by many things, the difference between that and how well we feel like we're meeting them.”The problem? Women often set impossibly high expectations while minimizing what they're actually accomplishing.Holiday GuiltDecember amplifies guilt because of:* Cultural expectations about creating “perfect” experiences* Pressure to control others' emotions* Comparison (social media, consumer-driven ideals)* Ambivalence about events we “should” enjoy“There's a lot of guilt around the sense of I should be feeling a certain way. I should be making sure others are feeling a certain way around this situation... And these expectations, which as we'll talk about are such a huge part of guilt, can really explode then.” Thanks for reading A Mind of Her Own!

Seeking political retribution is far different than prosecuting a winning case, as the Trump administration is coming to understand. Mary and Andrew begin here after a grand jury, once again, refused to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James. This comes along with a ruling limiting what evidence could be used in the case against James Comey if the government seeks to re-bring that case. The co-hosts also tee up what may come from Jack Smith's closed-door deposition in front of the House Judiciary Committee, before turning to the latest in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia saga, after Judge Paula Xinis ordered his release. Last up, Mary and Andrew head to the West coast for an update on the National Guard deployment in L.A., and offer some analysis on Judge Bybee's statement on 9th Circuit en banc review over deploying the National Guard to Portland, Oregon.Further Reading: Here is Judge Xinis' opinion regarding the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Will Kennedy and Isiah Gray are members of Brothaz in the Foyer, a group that produces content to represent and share the experiences of Black members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are part of a larger group of hosts for the Brothaz in the Foyer Podcast, and their goal is to bring people “from the foyer into the chapel.” This conversation explores their personal journeys, the dynamics of race within the Church, and the importance of fostering understanding and inclusivity. Links YouTube: @brothazinthefoyer Instagram: @brothazinthefoyer TikTok: @brothazinthefoyer Paul Reeve books Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Key Insights Experiences in the Temple: Will and Isiah share how their experiences as Black men in the temple often draw attention, highlighting the need for normalization of diverse representation within sacred spaces. Cultural Differences: The hosts discuss how their backgrounds influence their experiences in the Church, noting that cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings and the need for open dialogue. Reconciliation with Church History: Both emphasize the importance of understanding the Church’s history regarding race, including the priesthood ban, and how this knowledge can strengthen faith rather than diminish it. Empathy and Genuine Interaction: They stress the importance of treating all individuals as children of God and engaging in genuine conversations to bridge cultural gaps, rather than making interactions feel forced or awkward. Political Climate and Faith: The discussion touches on the politicization of race and the need for members to prioritize their faith and love for others over political affiliations, promoting unity within the Church. Leadership Applications Foster Open Dialogue: Leaders should create environments where members feel comfortable discussing sensitive topics related to race and culture, encouraging transparency and understanding. Educate on Church History: Leaders can benefit from familiarizing themselves with resources like Paul Reeve’s book on race in the priesthood to better address historical issues and foster inclusivity. Encourage Representation: Leaders should seek diverse voices in leadership roles and callings, recognizing that representation can enhance the community’s strength and unity, while also being mindful not to tokenize individuals based on race.

Shares a proven process that has worked for the author as well as thousands of others to communicate with deceased loved onesExplores the use of mediums, past-life and between-life hypnotic regressions, a technique called Induced After-Death Communication, and channeled writingPresents revelations about the soul's life after death, the structure of the afterlife, how karma works, and how to love in the face of painIf you've lost a loved one or had a brush with mortality, you undoubtedly have wondered about life after death—or if it's possible to connect with souls on the other side. After the tragic death of his son, Jordan, the author embarked on a journey for ways to communicate with his son across the veil. He discovered not only successful methods to connect with lost loved ones but also profound truths about the afterlife, the illusion of loss, and how pain is integral to our life purpose.McKay recounts techniques he tried in order to connect with his son, including collecting unusual experiences from family and friends, consulting mediums such as Austyn Wells, undergoing past-life and between-life regressions, engaging in a technique called Induced After-Death Communication, and using channeled writing, which he learned with the help of psychologist Ralph Metzner.The culmination of hundreds of channeled conversations with his son, the author presents revelations about the soul's life after death, the structure and key events of the afterlife, how karma works, why we incarnate, our future as souls, and how to love in the face of pain. As Jordan reveals, nothing is truly lost. The soul is constant and, while pain seems to damage us, the damage is an illusion. Because, as Jordan says, “there is no end; the conversation goes on . . . between all the souls who love each other, living and dead.”Matthew McKay, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, professor of psychology at the Wright Institute, cofounder of Haight Ashbury Psychological Services, founder of the Berkeley CBT Clinic, and cofounder of the Bay Area Trauma Recovery Clinic, which serves low-income clients. He has authored and coauthored more than 40 books, including The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook and Seeking Jordan. The publisher of New Harbinger Publications, he lives in Berkeley, California.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
In 2023, we introduced you to a transgender girl named Leah. She was living in Texas with her parents, John and Mary. We concealed their identities because families like theirs faced growing threats. Since then, lawmakers have taken steps to further restrict the rights of transgender people. William Brangham recently caught up with Leah and her family as they wrestled with their next steps.

New details about the dogsitter Dr. Naomi hired have emerged, and she and Jordana dissect all the information to try and paint a picture of the woman who stayed in Dr. Naomi's house for a few days. A corporate Betch is feeling burned by a work friend after learning about her departure from a company-wide email, and she wonders if it's worth maintaining the friendship. Seeking some validation, a listener who is quickly falling hard for her new partner wonders if his insistence on only saying “I love you” means he isn't “in love” with her. After multiple layoffs and constant anxiety about their ever restructuring new company, a woman seeks an intention for calming the fearful thoughts that arise every time there is an organizational change. This week's triggers involve a woman who is hurt that her friend keeps dodging her attempts to see her baby, while another listener, who is trying to get pregnant, is offended after her father drunkenly asks if he can spot a baby bump.
