In this episode, we sit down with Chicago-based food photographer and director Kelly Allison to explore how she turned a universe-orchestrated dream job into reality, embracing nonlinear paths and the unstoppable power of the feminine force.From childhood seeds of capturing moments—sparked by her dad's photo book and a lifelong love of drawing, coloring, and reliving emotions through imagery—to balancing motherhood while rejecting the 9-5 grind, Kelly shares her fearless journey. She dove into food photography long before social media, learning exclusively on film with zero editing know-how, pouring everything into building a business that clicked fast. Likened to a hummingbird, she thrives in a broader creative ecosystem, driven by a deep love of humanity: food as the story of us, keeping us alive with power and pleasure. Inspired by the gooey, splashy, drippy, and stretchy—plus bubbles, spills, swoops, pulls, smiles, laughter, and hugs—Kelly partners with top technicians to flip traditional advertising, centering visionary concepts on our collective truth.You can learn more about Kelly and her work on her website.

Send us a textAre we preparing young people to follow instructions or to solve real problems? We explore a better path with Barry Garapedian—financial advisor, mentor, and author of Winning the Game of Life—who makes a compelling case for teaching value creation as the antidote to uncertainty, inflation, and the AI upheaval. Together, we unpack the hidden curriculum, why compliance still shadows classrooms, and how to build graduates who contribute, not just compete.Barry maps out his Seven Fs—family, faith, friends, fitness, financial, fun, philanthropy—as a practical life blueprint. We dig into the systems that turn big ideas into daily progress: mentors over guesswork, a color-coded calendar, KPIs for sleep and routines, and 90-day goals across work, personal growth, and wellness. He shares the “impossible goal” that raises your baseline, plus a decision-board approach that keeps your aspirations visible and actionable.We go tactical with micro-leadership: “practice going first,” replace weasel words, and learn to hold “third vault” conversations that create trust and impact. Barry reframes ADHD as a superpower when paired with structure, and offers an anxiety playbook—never worry alone, get the facts, make a plan. For parents and educators, we lay out how to allow healthy struggle while opening doors to mentors and networks. For students, we emphasize AQ—adaptability—as the new edge in an AI-powered economy, backed by four reliability habits anyone can master.By the end, you'll have a toolkit to help young adults measure ROI as return on impact, choose better books and better rooms, and codify shared values with a family constitution.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott dive into a huge question many late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD adults wrestle with: Would a childhood diagnosis have actually changed anything — or possibly made life harder?Jordan and Simon share personal stories of bullying, masking, meltdowns, stigma, and internalised ableism — and reflect on how childhood diagnosis might have affected their families, identities, independence, careers, and relationships. They also read listener responses on how late diagnosis shaped (or didn't shape) their lives.Together, they explore:Why early diagnosis can bring validation, language, and supportHow lack of awareness in previous decades created stigma and misinformationWhether childhood diagnosis could have prevented trauma — or simply added a label for bulliesThe fear of being limited, infantilised, or underestimated as a neurodivergent childHow family understanding (or lack of it) shapes identity and self-esteemThe generational shift in autism knowledge — and why today's kids have more toolsLate diagnosis as both a relief and a grieving processWhy the past can't be changed — but the future absolutely canThis is an honest, nuanced conversation for anyone who has ever wondered how life might have looked if they'd been understood sooner. Whether you were diagnosed as a child, in your 30s, or at 60, this episode reminds you that your neurodivergent journey starts when you finally have the language for it — and it's never too late to rewrite your story.Our Sponsors:

Message us here!What if you've tried everything, but are still depressed? Did you know that  one third of people with depression don't get enough relief from antidepressants? In this episode, I talk to psychiatrist and CMO of Neuronetics, Dr. Geoffrey Grammer, about what should people do when our mainstream treatments for depression fails us. He sheds light on new advancements for treatment-resistant depression: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and nasal esketamine, two evidence-based treatments that target the brain differently and raise the odds after meds stall.We first talk about just how disappointing traditional medications and psychotherapies can be for chronically depressed patients. Then, Dr. Grammer explains how TMS works (precise, noninvasive brain stimulation that strengthens underactive mood circuits), what a session feels like, timelines for improvement, and why side effects are minimal compared to systemic drugs. We also explore nasal esketamine (Spravato) and how it works. Along the way, we dig into augmentation meds, common pitfalls, and the role of psychotherapy in turning short-term gains into lasting change.Real patient stories ground the science in hope: remission after years of struggle, renewed presence with family, and the hard-won confidence that life can feel different. If you've tried two antidepressants without clear progress or hate the side effects, your next step shouldn't be “another pill” - it should be to advocate for yourself with your providers and explore these new options.Resources:NeuroStar website: https://neurostar.com/NeuroStar's assessment quiz for depression: https://neurostar.com/self-assessment-for-depression/Find a doctor page: https://neurostar.com/enter-zip-code/?as=0Connect to Dr. Grammer on social:https://www.instagram.com/NeuroStarAdvancedTMS/https://www.facebook.com/NeuroStarAdvancedTMS/https://www.youtube.com/user/NeuroStarTMSTherapySupport the showIf you're navigating someone's mental health or emotional issues, join KulaMind, our community and support platform.

We sit with Debbie as she relives Marley's final hours, from the first quiet signs to an emergency diagnosis of gallbladder mucocele, a condition that often hides.Beyond medicine lies the heart. Debbie names the shock few dare to say out loud: when a heart dog dies young, grief can break the body. We talk broken heart syndrome, anxiety spikes, and the odd, floating hours after the phone rings. Lauren shares the tools that helped ... therapy, journaling, structure, and a focus on gratitude that doesn't erase pain but gives it shape. There's no single right way to mourn. Some people wait before welcoming a new dog; others need a lead in hand. Both paths honour love.Threaded through the sorrow is Marley's legacy: tricks that sparked laughter, dance routines that built confidence, and games-based training that turned optimism into a daily habit. Debbie explains why she left aversive methods for kind, reward-based work and how better mechanics ... fading lures, clean reinforcement, simple setups ... made progress stick. At 72, she's drafting a book, dreaming up a small online venture, and exploring a future with another American cocker, not to replace Marley, but to carry forward the joy he started.If you've ever faced a sudden, devastating diagnosis ... or you want to be ready if it comes ... this conversation offers practical guidance and gentle company.

Send us a textA quiet click in a digital archive set off a bigger question: how did a tidy tale about the  “Western Trail” in 1873 outrun the dusty, documented truth of 1874? We follow the breadcrumb trail from a glossy magazine headline to the rail-choked streets of Dodge City, where buffalo hides, not longhorns, drove the economy. From there, we trace John T. Lytle's government contract to feed the Sioux, the mapped river crossings, and the August 1, 1874 deadline that defined the first verified drive.Along the way, we meet J. Frank Dobie—ranch-born, campus-bound, and unapologetically devoted to story over footnote. Dobie prized living voices more than ledgers, and he found a perfect partner in Frank Collinson, an Englishman turned cowboy who wrote his memories decades after the fact. Collinson likely helped gather cattle in late 1873 and later fused that groundwork with the 1874 trailblazing into one clean narrative. It's a classic compression: a roundup becomes a “first drive,” and a modern brand name—“Great Western Trail”—is retrofitted to the past until it feels original.We don't stop at debunking. We explore why these stories endure, how civic branding amplified a legend, and what's at stake when heritage tourism, folklore, and archival history collide. The lesson isn't to toss out the campfire tale. It's to read it alongside the map: let the archive keep the dates straight while the storytellers keep the culture alive. By the end, you'll see how a name, a narrative, and a single year can redirect the memory of the West—and why holding fact and fable in tension gives us a richer, more honest past.If this journey changed how you think about Western history, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend who loves a good trail story.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

How A Holy Disruption Can Rebuild A Life And A Community

A busy week of small groups, service, and shared life sets the stage for one of the most unsettling turns in the early church: the moment an enemy knocks on the door and says, “I'm with you now.” We walk through Saul's shock encounter with the risen Jesus and the identity crash that follows, then sit with Ananias' very human hesitation. Why trust someone who hurt us? What does real repentance look like? And how do we protect the vulnerable while keeping our hearts open to redemption?We unpack the historical roots of Saul's zeal as a Pharisee and why he believed he was defending God, not fighting Him. That context matters, because it shows how conviction can become a counterfeit identity—and how a holy disruption can reclaim a life. From there, we trace the tangible markers of change Scripture highlights: confession and baptism, a new public message proclaimed to old peers, time away for formation rather than a rush toward authority, and respect for boundaries set by wise leaders. With Barnabas advocating and the church staying prudent, reconciliation bears fruit: peace, growth, and a community strengthened in the fear of the Lord.Along the way, we name a hard truth for modern churches: grace without boundaries isn't love. We talk about safeguarding communities, discerning fruit over time, and holding prayer and prudence together when we're called to love our enemies. If you're wrestling with identity, trust, or the possibility that someone can really change, this conversation offers grounded hope and practical wisdom.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review with one takeaway you're carrying into the week.

What if healing is far bigger than the miracle headline? We follow Peter into the quiet rooms of Acts 9 where there are no stages, no microphones, and no grand speeches—only grief, prayer, and the kind of mercy that stitches a neighborhood back together. Aeneas walks. Tabitha rises. But the deeper story is how dignity is restored, belonging is renewed, and a community finds hope again.We share why divine healing feels complicated for so many of us, especially when prayers seem to go unanswered. Then we widen the frame Luke gives us: healing is not only about bodies made whole, it's about people carried back into community. Through Tabitha's everyday service—needle, thread, and faithful presence—we see how quiet acts can heal a city long before a miracle ever makes news. Peter's first move is to kneel and pray, reminding us that prayer isn't leverage to make God act; it's attention that helps us join what God is already doing.You'll hear how the Holy Spirit guides without fanfare, forming Peter to cross new boundaries—from staying with Simon the tanner to opening doors for Gentiles. We trace a simple rhythm that keeps surfacing in Acts: prayer births mercy, mercy reveals the Spirit, and mercy in motion becomes mission. People turn to God not through arguments, but because they witness restoration they deeply desire.If you're longing for practical steps, we offer three: be interruptible, be present, and be faithful. Leave margin for the nudge. Enter the room before you offer a fix. Serve with small acts that carry heaven's weight. Press play to rethink healing, see mercy as mission, and imagine how your ordinary life can make space for extraordinary grace.

November Neuroscience for the Neurodivergent Nervous SystemIn this deeply grounding episode, we explore the gentle, transformative world of somatic regulation - the bottom-up path that helps a neurodivergent nervous system feel safe, calm, and connected again.You'll learn why the body is often the first place we must return to when the mind becomes overwhelmed, and how sensation, rhythm, movement, touch, breath, and stimming can become powerful allies for healing. Together, we'll explore how widening your gaze, adjusting your posture, shaking out accumulated stress like animals do in the wild, and allowing intuitive movement can shift you from dysregulation into presence.With insights from neuroscience, mindfulness, Ram Dass, and trauma-informed wisdom, we'll reframe somatic practices not as “techniques,” but as ancient forms of remembering - ways the body whispers, “This is the way home.”This episode includes a deeply soothing Yoga Nidra journey, guiding you into the restorative space between wakefulness and sleep, where your nervous system can truly unwind, repair, and return to itself.By the end, you'll not only understand your body more -you'll trust it more.You'll hear it more.You'll come home to it more.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

Dominic is joined by the inimitable Prof. Emma Clery - author of The Rise of Supernatural Fiction 1762-1800 and Professor of English Literature at Uppsala University, Sweden. They continue this month's theme of the supernatural, taking you on a journey into the heart of an event that caused a sensation in Georgian London, and would inspire Dickens decades later …The real life story of The Cock Lane Ghost set the stage for an earnest debate between Anglicans and Methodists - the former skeptical the latter credulous towards a spirit realm - where the dead can seek out the living and communicate with them. The alleged haunting in Cock Lane quickly spiralled in the first months of 1762, with many great figures of the age Samuel Johnson, Horace Walpole and Prince Edward, Duke of York attending seances to cross examine the ghost. At the heart of the controversy lay the very serious charge of murder that the ghost - known as ‘Scratching Fanny' - was trying to convince her hearers of, and the very real possibility of the man accused being sent to the gallows.It will come as no surprise to you that Dickens loved this story! Mentioning it not only in articles but in three of his novels - through Mrs Nickleby's flighty imagination, the disgruntled temper of Mrs Pipchin, and as Prologue to the madness and terror that engulfs A Tale of Two Cities …Joining us to bring to life the real characters from this story - in the form of articles, letters and transcripts - are the fantastic actors Peter Bray and Rachel Winters.Additional Sound Effects in this episode have been used under license from Epidemic Sounds Support the showIf you'd like to make a donation to support the costs of producing this series you can buy 'coffees' right here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dominicgerrardThank you so much!Host: Dominic GerrardSeries Artwork: Léna GibertOriginal Music: Dominic GerrardThank you for listening!

Instead of treating autism as part of human diversity, the media keeps framing it as a threat, tragedy or contagious condition.They discuss:The latest claim: “COVID during pregnancy causes autism”Why correlation is not causation (no matter how many headlines say it is)Politicians weaponising autism for attention and votesThe Tylenol lawsuit and RFK's shifting conspiraciesHow media language treats autism like a disease or warning labelWhy autism isn't “caught” — it's genetic and always has beenWhy support and accessibility matter more than fearmongeringThis episode is a sharp, honest takedown of pseudoscience and scare tactics.

Planning a hedge can feel like a maze: endless species, mixed advice, and pressure to get it right for the long haul. We cut through the noise with a clear framework that starts with purpose, respects your site, and ends with a shortlist you can trust. Whether you want privacy that feels soft, a living windbreak, neat garden rooms, or a wildlife corridor buzzing with life, you'll find practical picks and honest trade-offs.We dive into deciduous stalwarts like beech and hornbeam, explaining why beech remains a favourite for structure and low maintenance, and when hornbeam wins on wetter ground. For biodiversity, we show how to build a native mix—hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel, viburnum opulus, and rugosa rose—that feeds pollinators and birds through the seasons. We also explain why tight clipping hides flowers and berries, and how to let sections grow out for real ecological value without losing order.If evergreen is your brief, we unpack cotoneaster cornubia's glossy leaves and autumn berries, griselinia's coastal toughness, slow but classy holly, and the underrated reliability of privet and escallonia where frost is light. We give straight talk on photinia's red flush versus real-world maintenance, and chat about our bad memeroies of leylandii and look at better conifer choices like Thuja ‘Emerald'. We also share when laurel is manageable and when it becomes a long-term problem for landscapes. For those who love clean lines, yew offers timeless elegance, while box still frames spaces beautifully, with lonicera as a tougher alternative where knocks happen.You'll leave with a simple decision path: define the job, assess wind, frost, wet, choose evergreen or deciduous with intent, and pick spacing that fills without waste.

Send us a textA trail's name shouldn't be a marketing plan, yet that's exactly how the West's most traveled cattle route got mislabeled. We follow the evidence from a fresh historiographical review back to 1874, when John T. Lytle cut a new path north after the Chisholm route jammed, and forward to the moment Dodge City exploded into the greatest cattle market on earth. Along the way, we sit with the drovers' own words—the functional names they used at the time—and weigh them against monuments, brochures, and a 1960s academic phrase that grew into a modern myth.We break down how the Western Trail took shape: the 7D steers headed for the Red Cloud Agency, the push through Cow Gap, and the pivot to the Santa Fe railhead at Dodge. Then we zoom out to the forces that ended the era—barbed wire tightening across the plains and Kansas quarantine laws that shut the gate on Texas herds. The numbers are staggering: millions of cattle and horses moved along this single route, reshaping the national diet and remaking a frontier town. Yet the cultural heartbeat remains in small details: a two‑bits bath, a new shirt from the general store, a night at the Long Branch.The naming controversy ties past to present. We recount the 1931 granite marker that enraged George W. Saunders by blending rival trails, track the 1965 origin of “Great Western Trail,” and examine why later citations fall apart under close reading. Our case for Western Cattle Trail isn't just pedantry—it's about honoring the people who built the route, avoiding confusion with a modern recreational trail, and keeping the historical record clean. If you care about what really happened—and what we choose to call it—this story gives you the tools to spot folklore dressed up as fact.If this deep dive sharpened your view of Western history, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves the cattle trails, and leave a review telling us which piece of evidence changed your mind.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

Or worse, not being there for the big moments down the road? It's a heavy thought, but it's a reality that starts with the small choices we make every day.My client Ray, a dedicated father of two, found himself on this path. For years, the daily grind meant his own health was an afterthought. He got complacent and accepted age, pain, and even weight gain as a normal part of being over 40.This led to a slow decline that was stealing his vitality and his ability to be the dad and athlete he wanted to be.His story of transformation is why we recorded this latest podcast episode, "The Daily Choice: Shaping Your Body's Future."Ray made a conscious decision to change. He started showing up for himself, even when it was hard. The result? He's down 40+ pounds, running marathons, and at 49, has the energy of his 35-year-old self.He didn't just get his health back; he secured a more active future with his family.His story proves that it is never too late to make a divine choice for yourself and, by extension, for your loved ones.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Marcus Rodriguez, director of the Youth and Family Institute and tenured professor at Pitzer College, about what parents can do when their young adult children struggle with adulting. We dig into when these young adults hit a wall, their nervous systems recruit anger, anxiety, and shame to avoid the pain of “I can't.” Understanding that function changes how we respond at home.With DBT expert Dr. Rodriguez, we unpack why this generation can be deeply caring and also overwhelmed by information designed to agitate. From algorithm-driven feeds that reward outrage to climate fear and economic uncertainty, young people face a flood of threats their brains aren't built to regulate alone. We talk about wild cases of kids getting trapped in upsetting content loops and what media literacy and parent coaching can do to break that cycle.We translate big ideas into everyday moves that you can use with your kids today.

Renato recommends enjoying a day trip on the GoldenPass Line which connects Interlaken with Montreux. We also touch on nearby day trips to Brienz, the woodcarving capital, and Thun, a lakeside city surrounded by castles.For those visiting in December, Interlaken hosts charming Swiss Christmas markets, and there's easy access to others in Montreux and Bern. If Interlaken's been on your list, this is the sign to go. Add a few of these ideas to your itinerary and get ready for a different kind of Swiss winter experience.Safe travels,Carolyn

325 – Does your life ever feel incomplete?How often do you feel like there's something missing in your life? It could be a relationship, a better job, enough money to pay the bills, better health. It could go deeper than that. You might feel like your life is incomplete because you don't know what your higher sense of purpose is, and if you do, you're not sure how to fulfill it. Why is it that most of us at some time or another feel like something is missing in our lives? We don't feel complete or whole. Maybe even if you have all the outward signs of success, on the inside, you may still feel incomplete.In this week's episode, we're going to talk about Jesus's perspective on what it means to be whole and how to catch his vision to experience our wholeness, our completeness as children of God.If Jesus was here today physically like he was 2,000 years ago, he would see your wholeness and show it to you.The good news is Christ is here today revealing your spiritual wholeness to you through the Holy Spirit. ∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and all Bible quotes––thebiblespeakstoyou.com/325Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Send us a textGrief is heavy; choice is heavier. We open the door to a conversation many avoid: how to make humane, timely end-of-life decisions for our dogs and other animals without surrendering dignity to fear or delay. Through real stories—a goat with Johne's disease, a Labrador remembered with regret, a joyful dog named Eazy whose last morning was full of play ... we map the emotional terrain and the practical steps that lead to a kinder farewell.We talk about the hard calls that vets present and what they mean in real life: failed vein access, prolonged sedation, and invasive procedures that add risk without improving outcomes. You'll hear why “a day early rather than a day late” can prevent traumatic endings like haemorrhage, suffocation, or frantic final car rides. We share how to plan a peaceful goodbye at home, in a place your dog loves ... the training arena, the garden, a sunny bed ... with familiar voices, favourite games, and last suppers that say “you're safe.” Presence matters; calm touch and routine reduce fear, and those final moments become a gentle memory instead of a lifelong scar.We also challenge treatment norms. Not every surgery, MRI, or chemo protocol serves the animal when the prognosis is poor. We walk through the questions that bring clarity: What does recovery look like? What comfort will this buy? What risks are certain? Alongside honest talk about limits, we cover supportive care ... nutrition upgrades, raw diets when appropriate, targeted supplements, and low-stress routines—that can boost wellbeing without false hope. The through line is stewardship: asking tough questions, choosing compassion over delay, and trusting yourself to act before suffering eclipses joy.If you're bracing for a hard decision or carrying the weight of one that has passed, this conversation offers language, frameworks, and courage for the moments that matter most.

Send us a textIt was a beautiful August afternoon when Laura Letts Beckett and her husband Peter were out on the lake for an afternoon fish, when suddenly Peter heard a splash. Initially believing that it was a tug on the end of his fishing line he tried to quickly reel it in only to then see Laura's yellow shorts sinking down 30 feet. Peter claimed to have made the quick attempt to save his wife but when he realized he was to large to go down, he raced to the shore and retrieved a 10 pound rock and was finally able to reach Laura.......But, was this really what happened? was Peter just a grieving husband, or a cold blooded killer?Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!
