Are you worried that your best performances are behind you? Do you ever step up to the blocks—or walk into a room—and feel entirely underestimated because of your age or size? Or worry that your time out of the water will prevent you from success?This week on Champion's Mojo, we are sitting down with a true generational talent who is completely rewriting the rules of super agers and performance in athletics. Jeannette Brits, a 65-year-old Australian powerhouse, recently did the unthinkable: she shattered the women's 65-69 age division world record in the 800-meter freestyle by almost 30 seconds, clocking a breathtaking sub-10-minute time and also broke the 200 and 400 world records as well.But Jeannette didn't achieve this by being the tallest, the strongest, or the most naturally gifted swimmer in the water. Standing at 5'3" (160cm) and having taken a massive 30-year hiatus from the sport to raise a family and build a career, Jeannette relies on a ferocious work ethic, a "dog-with-a-bone" racing mentality, and the courage to train daily with a squad of men 15 to 20 years her junior.If you've ever felt like the deck is stacked against you, or if you are looking for the motivation to finally make your own comeback, Jeannette's story is the ultimate blueprint for relentless endurance.In this episode, we dive into:The Comeback Blueprint: How to successfully and safely return to high-level training after decades away from your sport.Using Doubt as Fuel: The exact mental framework Jeannette uses when competitors judge a book by its cover and expect her to go to the back of the lane.Outworking the Advantage: How to overcome a lack of natural height or physical leverage through sheer grit, technical focus, and brutal consistency.The HRT Conversation: Jeannette's candid reality on achieving world-dominating endurance without Hormone Replacement Therapy.Balancing the Grind: How mixing grueling 27km pool weeks with joyful, soul-filling ocean swims keeps injuries and burnout at bay.Tune in to discover why it's never too late to get back in the water, toughen up, and completely surprise yourself.If you loved this episode, please consider leaving us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts— more masters swimmers can find the show.Email us at HELLO@ChampionsMojo.com.

Becoming Happy High Performers with Jay AbbasiEpisode 270: Show NotesWhat if burnout isn't a sign that you need less ambition but rather that you need a different way to pursue it? Today we welcome Tesla leader turned professional speaker, Jay Abbasi, to discuss how leaders can help people achieve at a high level without sacrificing personal life along the way. Tuning in, you'll hear all about Jay's work in burnout, how he helps people become more adaptable through mindfulness and ‘mind-free-ness', how mindfulness helped him thrive in a stressful environment at Tesla, and more! We delve into the importance of dedicating time to allowing your mind to be free before discussing Jay's Resistance Formula (energy, space, and choice) and how to take the first step toward solving burnout. Jay even touches on the illusion of control, why our power lies in our choices, and why delayed gratification is far more fulfilling than instant gratification.

Is plastic really the environmental villain it's often portrayed to be, or have politics and misinformation overtaken the science? Dr. Chris DeArmitt, founder of the Plastics Research Council, spent thousands of unpaid hours reviewing more than 5,000 peer-reviewed studies to find out. Host Gregg sits down with Dr. DeArmitt to unpack why plastic makes up just half of one percent of the materials we use, why the "floating island" of ocean plastic doesn't exist, what's actually driving anti-plastic campaigns, and why microplastics may not be the health threat headlines suggest. It's a candid, evidence-first conversation that challenges nearly everything the public has been told about plastic. Join Gregg and Dr. Chris DeArmitt on Cut to the Chase as they explore: What You'll Learn Why plastic is only half of 1% of the material we use, and why that matters The truth behind the "floating island of plastic the size of Texas" What's really in ocean gyres, and why 85% of it is fishing gear, not consumer litter Why life cycle analysis shows plastic is the lowest-impact material in 9 out of 10 cases What microplastics research actually says, and why Dr. DeArmitt calls 80% of the studies flawed Why recycling isn't the environmental fix people think it is, and what actually helps   Key Moments Introduction: Framing the plastics debate and Dr. DeArmitt's background Why he spent 5,000+ unpaid hours reviewing studies, sparked by his daughters' school lessons The half of 1% myth: plastic vs. total material use The straw and single-use cup debate Reusing plastic bottles, and the SODIS water sterilization method The INC-4 plastics treaty meeting in Ottawa and what he saw there The "floating island the size of Texas" myth What's actually in ocean gyres (85% fishing gear) The environmental cost of NGO flights to plastics conferences Recycling: why it's overhyped and how life cycle analysis changes the picture The gold vs. plastic cost/impact comparison Landfill space and the three things that actually help the environment Microplastics: what the science says vs. the headlines Ocean plastic volume in context (the football stadium comparison) Litter as the real problem, and what actually stops it His books, peer review process, and who's changed their mind based on the data What he's working on next Closing: podcasts spreading misinformation, and his ask to hosts like Joe Rogan and Jordan Harbinger   Dr. Chris DeArmitt is the founder of the Plastics Research Council and Phantom Plastics, and a materials scientist recognized as one of the world's leading independent authorities on plastics, microplastics, and the environment. He is the author of The Plastics Paradox and Shattering the Plastics Illusion, both based on his review of thousands of peer-reviewed studies, and both available as free downloads in multiple languages.

Send us Fan Mail "The key is letting go. The key isn't holding on, the key is letting go. And so I realized if I wanted to move in a new direction in my life, I had to let go of some of these things in the past." ~ Chris AveryChris Avery spent the first part of his life battling the dark shadows of childhood molestation, physical abuse, and a 17-year addiction to drugs and alcohol. Realizing he needed to change his trajectory, Chris immersed himself in personal development, faith, and mentorship, ultimately transforming his life and achieving sobriety. Today, Chris is a dedicated coach, husband, and father. He is currently preparing for a monumental physical and mental feat: starting January 1, 2027, Chris will run the entire perimeter of the United States, completing an ultra-marathon (31.1 miles) every single day for 365 days.Key Discussion Highlights & TakeawaysThe Power of Environment: How Chris found sobriety by changing his circle, attending leadership events, and listening to over 10,000 hours of personal development audio. Redefining Forgiveness: Why Chris views forgiveness as a tool for his own freedom rather than for the perpetrator, and how seeing the humanity in others helped heal his deep anger. Shattering Limiting Beliefs: The incredible story of how Chris ran a full 26.2-mile marathon with absolutely zero training just to prove that our minds hold us back more than our physical abilities. The "One Mile" Strategy: How Chris built the discipline to run around America by setting a goal so small—running just one mile a day—that it was impossible to fail. The 5-Minute Marriage Hack: The simple nightly gratitude journaling practice Chris and his wife used for a year to save their struggling marriage and shift their focus to love and appreciation. ⏱️ Show Timestamps & Chapter Markings 00:00:00 - Welcome to The Remarkable People Podcast00:02:21 - Sponsor Read: Upgrade Your Truck with Maxzina00:03:44 - Chris Avery's Origin Story: Childhood Trauma & Abuse00:08:14 - 17 Years of Drug and Alcohol Addiction00:11:57 - The Turning Point: Finding Mentors & Personal Development00:16:12 - Stepping into Leadership & Finding Sobriety00:27:00 - How to Truly Forgive and Let Go of the Past00:43:00 - Moving to Utah & A Crazy Marathon Proposition00:48:45 - Running a Marathon with Zero Training to Break Limiting Beliefs00:52:19 - The Next Massive Goal: Running the Perimeter of America00:54:12 - Starting Small: Building Trust with One Mile a Day01:03:00 - How a 5-Minute Nightly Gratitude Journal Saved Chris's Marriage01:08:48 - Connect with Chris: chrisrunsamerica.comTo watch the full episode and get all special offers and details, visit our official website at https://DavidPasqualone.com/ChrisAvery now! Support the showTHE NOT-SO-FINE-PRINT DISCLAIMER: While we are very thankful for all of our guests, please understand that we do not necessarily share or endorse the same beliefs, worldviews, or positions that they may hold.

Ronald White, guest author, recounts how, in June 1864, Chamberlain led a perilous frontal assault at Petersburg, where he was struck by a minié ball that traveled through his hips, shattering internal blood vessels and his bladder. Surgeons gave him only a 10% chance of survival, and he wrote a heart-wrenching final farewell to Fanny from his hospital bed. Defying medical expectations, he survived the infection-riddled environment and returned to the field to command a brigade during the final pursuit of Lee's army. At Appomattox, General Grant chose him to preside over the formal surrender ceremony of the Confederate infantry. During this event, Chamberlain sparked decades of controversy by ordering a "marching salute" to the defeated Southern soldiers to honor their courage. This act of reconciliation underscored his belief that the war's end required bringing both sides back together as one nation despite the deep scars of conflict.

  When the Map is Not the Territory: A Letter from the Other Side of Doubt.I was raised on the clean, bright maps of atheism. The territory was clear: matter, energy, cause and effect. God was a fairy tale, a psychological crutch, an explanatory ghost fading before the dawn of science. I believed in the map. It was logical, defensible, and safe.Then, through the quiet archaeology of meditation and the alchemy of conscious Tantra, I began to feel the ground beneath the map. It wasn't an idea. It was a presence. A current. A kind of intelligence in the fabric of things that responded—not to prayers, but to the quality of my attention, the openness of my heart, the surrender of my identity. God wasn't a theory to be believed in; it was a reality to be encountered, intimately and relentlessly.Then the storm came. My constructed world—relationships, security, identity—was washed away. In that total ruin, where every concept drowned, something else rose. Kundalini. Not a metaphor, but a physiological, spiritual, and psychological earthquake that rewired my very being. It was the demolition of the observer and the fusion with the observed.In that crucible, "faith" became a laughably small word. You don't have faith in the sun. You open your eyes and it is there. You don't have faith in gravity. You let go and you fall. Connection replaced belief. God ceased to be a separate noun and became the verb of existence itself—the conscious, loving, fierce, and incomprehensible intelligence singing the atoms, dreaming the galaxies, and beating in the cage of my own ribs.So when I read the debates—the "fine-tuning" arguments, the philosophical quibbles, the "proofs" for and against—it feels like watching brilliant scholars argue over the chemical composition of ink while missing the poem it writes.To the doubter, with respect:I am not here to convince you. Your doubt is sacred. It protects you from cheap answers. Cling to it. But understand its jurisdiction.Science is the magnificent study of the waveform. It measures frequency, amplitude, and interaction. But God is the ocean. You cannot catch the ocean in a net built for waves.Your logic is a flashlight in a room of objects. It is impeccable for that task. But what happens when you turn the flashlight on itself? On the one who holds it? On the space between objects? The light falls short. This isn't a failure of logic. It's a definition of its domain. "Wisdom is born when logic dies" doesn't mean we become foolish. It means we switch instruments—from the microscope to the musical ear, from the calculator to the heart.The mysteries you rightly point to—synchronicity, NDEs, the inexplicable knowing of love, the butterfly effect—are not gaps in knowledge. They are hints. They are the ocean leaking through the seams of the waveform. They are the territory whispering that it is alive, aware, and meaningfully patterned in ways that transcend linear causality.Fine-tuning isn't a proof; it's a vibe. The universe doesn't just allow life; it gushes with life, consciousness, and breathtaking beauty at every scale. The atheist sees a stunning accident. I have felt the Stunner.You ask if life is predetermined. From here, the question melts. It's like a river asking if its path is predetermined. The riverbank (the laws, the planets, your genetics) sets certain parameters. But the water (consciousness, God) is always free, always flowing, always finding its way. Astrology and fate are attempts to read the riverbank. God is the experience of being the water and the flow.So I write this not to win a debate, but to issue an invitation from beyond the battlefield:Perhaps God is not a being to be proven, but a dimension of being to be experienced. It is not the conclusion of an argument, but the ground from which all arguments arise.My experience is my evidence. But it is not transferable. I can only say: the maps I once held are now ashes. The territory is holy. The doubt that once protected me from dogma now seems like a diligent guard outside a door I've walked through.The door is not marked "Religion." It is marked "Total Vulnerability, Shattering, and Direct Perception."You may never walk through it. You may not need to. But know this: on the other side of your impeccable, honorable doubt, there is not superstition. There is not belief.There is recognition.And it feels like coming home to a home you never knew you'd left.My Video:  Exist God or not?  https://youtu.be/8NwknOliaRIMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Exist-God-or-not.mp3

What if much of what you've been told about plastics, microplastics, and recycling isn't the complete story? In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Dr. Chris DeArmitt, internationally recognized scientist, author, materials expert, and founder of the Plastics Research Council, to explore one of the most controversial environmental topics of our time. Current research suggests that Americans may ingest and inhale between 74,000 and 121,000 microplastic particles annually, with exposure coming from the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. Researchers note that these estimates are likely conservative because many common food sources have yet to be fully studied. Harvard Medical School's Harvard Medicine Magazine has also highlighted growing concern about microplastics in the human body and the need for further research into their potential health impacts. According to  Harvard Medicine Magazine (2023; Environmental Science & Technology, 2019.) At the same time, the United States generates approximately 35.7 million tons of plastic waste annually, while studies have estimated that only about 5% of plastic waste is effectively recycled, raising important questions about waste management, public policy, and environmental stewardship. (as noted by the: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Beyond Plastics/The Last Beach Cleanup, 2022.) Drawing upon decades of research and his review of more than 5,000 scientific studies, Dr. DeArmitt challenges conventional narratives surrounding plastics and the environment. As the author of The Plastics Paradox and Shattering the Plastics Illusion, he has built a reputation for separating evidence-based science from popular misconceptions, helping policymakers, businesses, and consumers better understand the realities of plastics, recycling, sustainability, and environmental impact. During our conversation, we discuss: • The science behind microplastics and what researchers actually know today • Common myths surrounding plastics and recycling • Why public perception often differs from scientific evidence • The environmental trade-offs associated with alternative materials • How misinformation can shape policy decisions • What an evidence-based approach to sustainability should look like Whether you're an environmental advocate, policymaker, business leader, or simply someone seeking a deeper understanding of the plastics debate, this episode offers a fascinating look at the data, the science, and the stories driving one of today's most important global conversations.   For more information: https://plasticsresearchcouncil.com/ LinkedIn: @ChrisDeArmitt Learn more about your ad choices.

Shattering the Myth of Hessian Invincibility at the Battle of Trenton. Guest: Professor Richard Bell. King George III rented 30,000 German soldiers, known as Hessians, to crush the American insurgency, leading to widespread patriot terror. Washington's victory at Trenton was a crucial symbolic blow that proved these "savage cutthroats" were human and defeatable. Following their capture, Hessian prisoners were sent to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where they were encouraged to desert or defect to the American cause. This strategy resulted in 5,000 desertions, with many Hessians eventually becoming naturalized citizens and even contributing to early American culture, such as writing the unofficial national anthem. 518181

Welcome to Day 2887 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2887 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 136:10-16 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2887 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2887 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for Today's Wisdom-Trek is: Shattering the Shackles of the Rebel Gods In our previous episode on this grand, historical journey, we scaled the opening heights of the Great Hallel: Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Six, verses one through nine. We immersed our minds in the grand, cosmic architecture of creation. We stood in the celestial courtroom, and we shouted our praise to the God of gods, and the Lord of lords—the absolute, supreme Sovereign who rules over the entire heavenly host. We saw how His Hesed—His fierce, unyielding, and covenant-keeping faithful love—was the precise engine that skillfully forged the heavens, pinned down the chaotic primordial waters beneath the dry land, and masterfully organized the sun, moon, and stars to govern our days and nights. We learned that the very fabric of physical reality is held together, every single microsecond, by this enduring, loyal affection. Today, the grand temple liturgy takes a dramatic, breathtaking turn. The congregation is still standing in the sunlit courts of Jerusalem, and the antiphonal chant continues to echo off the stone walls. But the focus of the song shifts away from the creation of the cosmos, and steps directly onto the blood-soaked soil of human history. We are exploring Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Six, verses ten through sixteen, in the New Living Translation. The psalmist demonstrates that Yahweh's faithful love is not just an abstract, distant force that manages the stars; it is an active, aggressive, and liberating power that breaks into our physical reality to rescue His people, crush abusive empires, and violently dismantle the rebel spiritual principalities who hold humanity in bondage. Let let us step onto this historic section of the trail, listen to the thunderous roar of the refrain, and watch the Divine Warrior march to war. The first segment is: The Decapitation of the Egyptian Pantheon Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Six: verses ten, eleven, and twelve. Give thanks to him who killed the firstborn of Egypt. His faithful love endures forever. He brought Israel out from among them. His faithful love endures forever. He acted with a strong hand and powerful arm. His faithful love endures forever. The historical narrative explodes into the liturgy with a shocking, deeply unsettling declaration of judgment: “Give thanks to him who killed the firstborn of Egypt. His faithful love endures forever.” To the modern, Western mind, linking the death of the Egyptian firstborn with the phrase “His faithful love endures forever” sounds like a massive, moral contradiction. How can an act of mass fatality be described as an expression of love? To resolve this tension, we must view the Exodus through the profound lens of the Ancient Israelite divine council worldview, as masterfully taught by Doctor Michael S. Heiser. We must look back to the cosmic geography of Deuteronomy, chapter thirty-two, where the nations were disinherited by Yahweh, and handed over to the jurisdiction of lesser spiritual beings—the sons of God. Egypt was the premier, terrifying superpower of the ancient world, operating under the direct, dark inspiration of these corrupt, territorial elohim. Pharaoh was not viewed merely as a human politician; he was worshiped as an incarnate god—the living proxy, and the physical avatar, of the rebel principalities. For four hundred years, under the direction of these dark forces, Egypt systematically crushed, enslaved, and attempted to completely erase Yahweh's personal allotment—the family of Israel. The book of Exodus explicitly states that the plagues were not just a leverage play against human economics; they were an open, aggressive execution of judgment against all the gods of Egypt. When the Lord struck down the firstborn, He was striking the ultimate, legal root of the empire's legacy, and divine claims. The firstborn son represented the strength, the inheritance, and the future succession of the household, and the throne. By taking the firstborn, Yahweh broke the spiritual backbone of the rebel principalities. He proved that the Egyptian gods were entirely impotent, completely unable to protect their own biological, and spiritual, lineages from the superior authority of the Creator. For the oppressed slaves, this act of terrifying justice was the ultimate manifestation of Hesed. Love for the victim requires the decisive execution of justice against the abusive tyrant. The text records the immediate, glorious consequence in verses eleven and twelve: “He brought Israel out from among them... He acted with a strong hand and powerful arm.” The language of the “strong hand and powerful arm” is a direct, deliberate polemic against the royal propaganda of Egypt. Pharaoh's monuments always depicted him with an outstretched arm, crushing his enemies. But the psalmist clears the field, declaring that Pharaoh's arm was easily snapped by the true Divine Warrior. Yahweh reached into the dark, heavily fortified territory of the rebel council, grabbed His treasured possession, and physically wrenched them free from the grip of the superpower. He broke the chains of the empire, proving that no spiritual principality can legally hold a prisoner when the Supreme Commander issues a warrant for their release. The second segment is: Slicing the Abyss and Shaking Off the Tyrant Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Six: verses thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen. Give thanks to him who parted the Red Sea. His faithful love endures forever. He led Israel safely through. His faithful love endures forever. But he hurled Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea. His faithful love endures forever. The historical procession moves from the borders of Egypt, directly to the edge of the impossible. “Give thanks to him who parted the Red Sea... He led Israel safely through... But he hurled Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea.” Once again, the congregation responds to each movement of the narrative with the unyielding, rhythmic drumbeat of faith: “His faithful love endures forever.” To fully appreciate the cosmic drama of this moment, we must understand how the ancient world viewed the geography of the sea. In the biblical and ancient Near Eastern mindset, the deep, wild, and untamed waters of the ocean—known as Yamm—represented the terrifying forces of primordial chaos. The sea was considered a chaotic deity, a dark, churning abyss that swallowed human lives, and actively fought against the ordered creation of the Almighty. When Israel stood trapped between the advancing chariots of Pharaoh, and the roaring waves of the Red Sea, they were caught between the twin jaws of death: the physical might of the empire, and the spiritual chaos of the abyss. But Yahweh executed a masterclass of cosmic subversion. He didn't just build a bridge over the sea; He violently parted the waters. The literal Hebrew text says He sliced the sea into distinct pieces. He drove back the chaotic deep, carved a highway right through the middle of the abyss, and transformed the very realm of death into a dry, safe corridor of life for His covenant family. He led them safely through, insulating them from the walls of water on either side. Then, in verse fifteen, the trap slams shut: “But he hurled Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea.” The Hebrew word for “hurled” is na'ar, which carries the visceral graphic meaning of shaking off a bug, or flipping dirt off your clothes. This is a brilliant, mocking piece of historical sarcasm. Pharaoh had mobilized the entire military industrial complex of the ancient world—hundreds of iron chariots, elite horsemen, and weapons of terror. It was an intimidating display of imperial pride. But to the Creator of the cosmos, this terrifying army was nothing more than an annoying insect crawling on His sleeve. With one effortless flick of His wrist, Yahweh simply shook Pharaoh off into the water. The tyrant who had arrogantly commanded that every Hebrew baby boy be drowned in the Nile river, was himself drowned, along with his entire army, in the very chaos waters that his rebel gods claimed to control. The empire was swallowed by the abyss, completely neutralized, and buried beneath the waves, providing an eternal, undeniable proof that the loyal Hesed

Are there any good scientific reasons to doubt the theory of evolution? Does it belong to that group of atomic bomb, virus/germ theories, or is this the ‘real one'?6. Possible Mechanisms involved developing dysuria and purulent discharge symptoms 24-48 hrs after sexual intercourse Relieved with IM penicillin.7. Do you or other researchers in your circle intend to work on a detailed critical examination of Genetics, Adn, double helix, since this discipline also seems to rest on flimsy foundations?8.

Aly Nickling Riddle joins me today to break down why so many people fall in love with the idea of homesteading and then walk away from it a few years later. A lot of people get hooked by what they see on a screen, fresh eggs, clean gardens, slow mornings, and a sense of freedom. What they don't see is the grind behind it. In this episode we get into the gap between the fantasy and the reality.

Such a Pretty Picture: Andrea Leeb on Shattering Silence, Surviving Abuse, and Writing the Story She Swore She'd Never Tell

"On the outside, I too looked like a pretty picture. Inside, I was dying. I had so much pain and shame and suffering. Pretending isn't enough to make it go away." — Andrea Leeb About This Episode Andrea Leeb spent decades building a life that looked perfect from the outside — nurse, attorney, MFA graduate, happily married. But behind that picture was a secret she carried since she was four years old. In this deeply honest conversation, Andrea tells Mike about her debut memoir Such a Pretty Picture, which chronicles her survival of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of her father, her complicated relationship with the mother who looked away, and the long road to finding her voice. She also talks about surviving the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, how the Me Too movement gave her the courage to finally write the story she'd sworn she'd never tell, and why healing is never a straight line. Andrea is donating all of her book royalties to the UCLA Rape Treatment Center and RAINN. Key Takeaways 1. She survived a tsunami — and it changed everything. In 2004, Andrea and her husband survived the Christmas Day tsunami in Thailand. That brush with death made her realize she needed to stop treating writing as a hobby and start treating it as a calling. 2. She swore she'd never write this story. For years, Andrea outlined the book and then told herself no. She wrote fiction, essays, anything else. It wasn't until her father passed away in 2017 — the same year the Me Too movement began — that she finally felt free to tell the truth. 3. Her mother caught the abuse and went blind. When Andrea was four and a half, her mother walked in on the abuse, screamed, passed out, and developed hysterical blindness for a month. Andrea blamed herself. Her mother never left her father. 4. Forgiveness and letting go aren't the same thing. Andrea never forgave her father, but she did let go of the anger — a distinction she says was essential to writing the book without creating monsters. She ultimately forgave her mother. 5. The title came from her editor, not from her. Andrea struggled with the title through every draft. Her publisher found a line in the book where Andrea's mother looks at a childhood photo and says, "Such a pretty picture" — a perfect encapsulation of the beautiful surface hiding the chaos underneath. 6. Pretending works until it doesn't. Andrea kept her secret for decades and appeared fine — until a stranger touched her on the subway and she unraveled. Her message to survivors: you can heal, but you have to get help. Pretending won't make it go away. 7. She's giving away every dollar. All royalties from Such a Pretty Picture go to the UCLA Rape Treatment Center and RAINN. What started as a mission to help one person has grown into full-time advocacy, including board work and policy efforts.

What if the "eco-friendly" choice you're making is actually 200x worse for the environment? Dr. Chris De Armitt—materials scientist, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and author of The Plastics Paradox—joins us after reviewing over 6,000 peer-reviewed studies. His mission? Replace environmental mythology with actual science. In this no-holds-barred conversation, Chris reveals why plastic bags are the greenest option, why your reusable cotton tote is an environmental disaster, and why billionaires like Michael Bloomberg and Bill Gates are funding studies that say the exact opposite of the scientific consensus. Whether you're a speaker who needs to fact-check your material or someone tired of being guilt-tripped at the grocery store, this episode will change how you think about "sustainability."   Guest: Dr. Chris De Armitt All Episodes: https://www.awakeningpodcast.org Roy / Brain Gym & Virtual Assistants: https://roycoughlan.com/ Bio of Dr. Chris De Armitt Dr. Chris De Armitt (PhD, FRSC, FIMMM, CChem) is one of the world's leading independent experts on plastics, microplastics, and the environment.

Awakening

The awakening often starts with a single moment of betrayal. For Dr. Chris De Armitt, it was his daughters coming home from school parroting a lie: "All plastic is bad and doesn't degrade." As a materials scientist, he knew this was scientifically false—and he was paying premium taxes for this "education." That anger launched a crusade that would lead him to review over 6,000 studies, write The Plastics Paradox, and found the Plastics Research Council. In this awakening conversation, we explore how we've been systematically misled about everything from microplastics to "biodegradable" bags, why your anxiety about plastic water bottles is literally more dangerous than the bottles themselves, and how to spot the difference between genuine science and billionaire-funded propaganda. If you're ready to question what you've been told about "saving the planet," this is your moment of clarity.   Guest: Dr. Chris De Armitt All Episodes: https://www.awakeningpodcast.org Roy / Brain Gym & Virtual Assistants: https://roycoughlan.com/ Bio of Dr. Chris De Armitt Dr. Chris De Armitt (PhD, FRSC, FIMMM, CChem) is one of the world's leading independent experts on plastics, microplastics, and the environment.
