Amber Alekhamis is a qualified naturopathic herbalist (BHSc), certified in iridology and flower essences. Her work and life revolve around being in reverie with nature and advocating for us as people to be in a reciprocal relationship with the earth. She continues to try to always be a proponent for traditional practices of Naturopathy and to be guided by the light of nature. Amber lives in the Northern Rivers of NSW with her husband, where she runs her small business known as From The Eartha.During this episode, Amber shares how an upbringing steeped in the philosophy of nature connection alongside a childhood living on the wild islands off the coast of Western Australia heavily influenced her belief systems and the way that she practices and connects with herbal medicine today. Amber's passionate about keeping alive the traditions and constitutional approaches of early naturopathic founders- focussing on the whole person, rather than reducing someone to their symptoms. She uses herbal oils as a way of deepening her connection to herbal medicine, but also as a beautifully gentle introduction to using herbs for those that are new to plant medicine. Helping her clients experience the potency and effectiveness of plants in a way that asks them to slow down and use all their senses. I loved chatting with Amber about two often overlooked herbs- Chamomile and Comfrey and the way she uses these in her herbal oils.This is a beautiful nature infused chat which I think you're going to love!**SHOW NOTES**Amber references philosopher Victor Schauberger who you can read more about hereShe also shares a quote from Stephen Harrod Buhner- you can listen to our Sacred Herbalism podcast segment featuring a tribute to Stephen hereShe also speaks of a plant spirit communication journey on which she was guided by Heidi Wedd- you can listen to Heidi in conversation with Stephanie Hazel on this episode of Sacred Herbalism and with Tatiana Dawn on this episode of Herbal Education. **CONNECT**You can connect with Amber and purchase her divine herbal oils via her website here, read her gorgeous Substack here or stay in touch via instagram here.You can connect with JESS via instagram and facebook here and here,  join her newsletter community here, buy her handmade herbal products here or book an appointment here.**BUY ME A CUPPA**If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels my work and time, which is given for free.

Read Online“When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to others to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.” Matthew 6:16–18Many today have abandoned the holy practice of fasting. Fasting is a powerful penitential practice that bestows great benefits upon the soul. The act of self-denial from certain food and drink, choosing instead simple nourishment from time to time, such as bread and water, or a reduced amount of food, greatly strengthens the soul and disposes a person to many spiritual blessings. Too often, we live for fleshly satisfactions and fall into the trap of trying to indulge our appetites on a regular basis. But doing so has the negative effect of tempting us to neglect the more important spiritual desires for holiness. By depriving ourselves of sensory delights from time to time, we become more disposed to seek the true and lasting delights that come only from God's grace. Therefore, this passage above presumes that we do regularly fast and engage in other forms of self-denial. Do you fast? Do you engage in other forms of self-denial on a regular basis? Daily prayer, reading the Scriptures, learning about the lives of the saints, and regular participation in the Sacraments all lead us closer to God and make us holy. But fasting and self-denial are also very important, so it is essential that we strive to embrace them as a part of our spiritual growth.In this passage, Jesus specifically calls us to seek the interior rewards that come from fasting and self-denial. He points out that if we use fasting as a way of gaining praise from others, then we lose the spiritual benefits of our fasting. Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving must all be done in a way that they are as hidden as possible so that our acts are truly sincere and not done so as to receive the earthly rewards of the admiration of others.Additionally, the lesson taught in this Gospel can also be applied to other areas of our lives. For example, if you are suffering from some illness or some form of bodily pain or discomfort, then of course you should seek the necessary medical attention. But these physical ailments also offer us another opportunity for spiritual growth when they are embraced in a silent and interior way. Even our pain or discomfort can be transformed into grace if we choose to embrace it with joy, offer it to God as a sacrifice, and keep it to ourselves as a silent gift given to God.Reflect, today, upon your practice of fasting, as well as every other opportunity you have each day to make silent and interior sacrifices to God. If you do suffer from some daily cross that is beyond your control, then try to turn it into a spiritual offering to our Lord. And if you are able to freely embrace fasting on a regular basis, then try to prayerfully commit to this practice. Try to do it every week, especially on Friday in honor of the Good Friday sacrifice made by our Lord. Don't underestimate the value of these hidden sacrifices. Make them a regular part of your spiritual life and God will bestow upon you many spiritual riches from Heaven.My sacrificial Lord, You denied Yourself of many earthly delights, especially when You fasted for forty days in the desert. Help me to take seriously this obligation to fast and to mortify my appetites. And help me to do so in a hidden way. May my life continually imitate Your perfect sacrifice so that I may become more like You every day.

Financial due diligence is common practice when companies merge or one business acquires another. Cyber security due diligence, however, is not quite as common. Yet, in a world where the threat landscape changes by the day and risk is growing increasingly complex, solid cyber security practices are more important than ever.  Today, Steve and Tavia dig into this very topic, and, more specifically, what role cyber security has in a merger or an acquisition. How is a cyber security review done? Why are they important? How do we balance speed with thoroughness? How do we interpret the results? There's a lot to dig into here.  Key Takeaways: Cyber due diligence is paramount in a corporate acquisition or merger. Risks of not doing cyber due diligence include both financial and reputational. Cyber due diligence is a team game. Tune in to hear more about: Who should be responsible for conducting the cyber review (4:34) How organizations can build cyber into their due diligence process (14:05) Examples of where insufficient cyber due diligence proved costly (19:05) Standout Quotes: “You can't play a team sport without a team. And for me, M&A is a team game. You can't go it alone. I think it would be a mistake for somebody to think that they could do this kind of work solo. Because as we've seen with cyber maturing, it now touches so many different parts of the organization. You do need to be involved.” - Steve Durbin “I think people are getting it. What I'm seeing now is people get it, but they don't know how to do it. That's where the cyber professional really now has to step up.” - Steve Durbin “Pre-deal, I think it is about being focused. It's about identifying, prioritizing the high risk areas that are out there that you want to look into. It's about doing things like making sure that the governance is there. It's about scanning for some of the known vulnerabilities. If you are in one particular market sector and you're buying a company in another because of expansion growth, you're going to need to be covering off a whole range of different things that perhaps might be unusual for you because you haven't been having to look into those areas.” - Steve Durbin Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter  From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

There are few things more disorienting than feeling like God is silent. The heavens feel closed, your prayers seem unanswered, and your spirit longs for even the faintest whisper. Many of us know what it's like to cry out in pain, only to be met with what feels like divine stillness. But even in silence, God is not absent.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” — Psalm 13:1 (ESV)David, the man after God's own heart, wasn't afraid to express deep frustration and anguish in his relationship with the Lord. He didn't hide his heart—he brought it fully before God. That kind of honesty is part of what faith looks like in times of silence.When God seems quiet, it's tempting to believe the worst—that He has left, that He's uninterested, or that your prayers don't matter. But silence is not the same as absence. Often, God is doing His deepest work in your life in the quiet spaces—strengthening your roots, building trust, refining your heart.The silence stretches us. It tests whether we will lean into His Word even when His voice seems still. When fresh direction doesn't come, go back to the last thing He told you. Stay rooted in Scripture. Remember His faithfulness in past seasons.Trust grows in the quiet. Obedience deepens. Spiritual maturity takes shape not just in what we hear—but in how we respond when we don't.Question of the Day:What does faith look like for you right now when you feel like God is silent?Mini Call to Action:Write down Psalm 13:1. Reflect on David's honesty and courage. Let it give you permission to bring your full heart to God today.Let's Pray:Lord, when I can't hear You, help me trust You. Strengthen my faith in the quiet. Teach me to lean on what is true, not just what I feel.

In a stunning revelation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims Iran attempted to assassinate Donald Trump not once, but twice — directly contradicting statements by U.S. intelligence officials. Fox News host Bret Baier and former CIA operatives react in real time, while Dan Bongino and Kash Patel cast doubt on the depth of domestic intelligence transparency. The segment explores the murky battle over classified documents, the deep state's grip on intelligence agencies, and the alarming ties between Iran and violent domestic unrest. From Iranian proxy attacks on U.S. naval ships to the Biden administration's lack of sanctions and past cash payments to Tehran, this exposé paints a picture of dangerous entanglement: a Democrat-Iran alliance using foreign and domestic proxies to undermine American sovereignty.

How often have circumstances in life led you to compromise, thinking “what choice do I have?” Can we confidently see God as our King even when life gets difficult? These questions are in focus today as we kick off a new sermon series through the book of Ruth: As we dive into the first chapter and explore the background of the story, we see how a similar sentiment — compromising and asking “what choice do I have?” in difficult times — likely preceded and led to the state of affairs at the start of the book. But as pastor Ulysses encourages us today, we can learn from Ruth who went against the tide, that regardless of what we go through, we can always make a choice to follow God.

Story at-a-glance Corticosteroids shut down natural cortisol production; even short-term use as brief as 14 days suppresses adrenal function, creating dangerous dependency on synthetic hormones A European study reveals widespread risk; over 500,000 patients showed six times higher adrenal insufficiency rates with oral steroids; even "safe" inhaled versions increased risk by 55% Sudden steroid withdrawal triggers emergency situations requiring immediate medical care due to collapsed fluid and electrolyte balance Nearly half (48.7%) of oral steroid patients develop adrenal suppression, yet most aren't warned about or tested for this serious condition Recovery requires metabolic repair; focus on reducing inflammation, fixing insulin resistance, optimizing sleep cycles and supporting natural cortisol rhythms rather than more medications

You feeling this episode? Send us a text!In this episode we get into emotional regulation. What sets a person off? How did you learn to self deescalate a situation? Everyone isn't raised with the tools to do so early hence why we have prisons and diversion centers filled. We all know that even the best of us weren't taught how to regulate our emotions but by adulthood it shouldn't just be "who we are" but something we're willing to change. Silent treatment, "going postal", and even excessive venting are all negative traits learned by someone who didn't have the tools themselves. A therapist is your lifeline. Use it! Graduate! Heal! We all need to be and raise emotionally stable citizens no matter what country you were born in. Support the show

Day 4 of Lori Vallow Daybell's Arizona conspiracy trial pulled forensic science into the center ring—and this time, it spoke volumes. Mesa PD forensic scientist Vanessa Mielke nailed down DNA matches that put Alex Cox behind the wheel of the now-infamous Jeep. Kyle Mueller's expert analysis found actual gunshot residue particles in that same vehicle, months after the alleged shooting. Meanwhile, Lori's legal team continued their trend of silence, opting not to cross-examine key witnesses.

A poem about speaking up, in times when doing so feels harder than ever. Here's Camellia Boutros reading an excerpt of her piece, “A Silent Poem بروح” 

Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of The Institutional Risk Analyst blog and author of "Inflated: Money, Debt and the American Dream," returns to the show with a monthly update on markets and the economy.Sponsors: Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/juliaIn this episode, Whalen argues the Fed's easy money era is over, with no rate cuts coming this year and traditional monetary policy failing to help Main Street. He warns of a "silent subprime crisis" brewing in multifamily real estate and sees stagflation ahead - low growth with persistent inflation eating away at real purchasing power. Whalen advocates for gold as protection against currency debasement and explains why recession odds have dropped to 27% despite structural economic challenges from commercial real estate to student loan repayments as pandemic-era programs wind down.Links:    Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen    Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/    The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/   Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Timestamps:00:10 - Introduction of Chris Whalen 02:11 - Big picture market outlook and elevated interest rates 04:30 - No rate cuts coming this year discussion 05:38 - Trump's "big beautiful bill" and Senate dynamics 06:17 - Fed balance sheet reduction and inflation persistence 08:02 - Silent subprime crisis in multifamily real estate 09:13 - Mixed bag stock market outlook explanation 10:42 - Recession probability13:20 - Real estate opportunities and putting deals together 14:04 - Jay Gould and Jim Fisk arbitrage between gold and paper 16:57 - Fed's 2% inflation policy and its impact on savers 18:20 - Gold as anti-dollar hedge discussion 19:38 - Fall of fiat and return to sound money debate 21:00 - Why dropping rates no longer stimulates Main Street 22:13 - Chris's proposal to freeze government spending 24:11 - Banking system fluff and lack of credit demand 25:46 - Real vs nominal growth and stagflation 27:43 - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac conservatorship discussion 30:00 - Closing thoughts and where to find Chris's work

In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. In this series, they discuss Chapter 34: Bear Markets: A Necessary Evil.LEARNING: Investors must view bear markets as necessary evils. “If stocks didn't experience the kind of bear markets that we have, investors would be very unhappy.”Larry Swedroe In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners to help investors. You can learn more about Larry's Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks.Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 34: Bear Markets: A Necessary Evil.Chapter 34: Bear Markets: A Necessary EvilIn this chapter, Larry explains why investors must view bear markets as necessary evils. He says that if stocks didn't experience the kind of bear markets that we have, investors would be very unhappy.Larry further explains that the most basic finance principle is the relationship between risk and expected, but not guaranteed, return. So, the higher the risk, the higher the expected return, which means that if the risk is high, investors will apply a bigger risk premium, which will lead to the denominator in the formula of the Net Present Value. The numerator is the expected earnings. The denominator is the risk-free rate plus the risk premium.The higher the risk, the higher the premiumsLarry highlights historical bear markets, noting the U.S. has experienced losses exceeding 34% during the COVID crisis and 51% from 2007 to 2009. He argues that these losses are essential for investors to demand higher risk premiums. The very fact that investors have experienced such significant losses leads them to price stocks with a large risk premium.From 1926 through 2022, the S&P provided an annual risk premium over one-month Treasury bills of 8.2% and an annualized premium of 6.9%. If the losses that investors experienced had been smaller, the risk premium would also have been smaller. And the smaller the losses experienced, the smaller the premium would have been.In other words, the less risk investors perceive, the higher the price they are willing to pay for stocks. And the higher the market's price-to-earnings ratio, the lower the future returns.Staying the course during underperformanceThe bottom line, Larry says, is that bear markets are necessary for the creation of the large equity risk premium we have experienced. Thus, if investors want stocks to provide high expected returns, bear markets (while painful to endure) should be considered a necessary evil.However, Larry notes that it is during the periods of underperformance that investor discipline is tested. Unfortunately, the evidence suggests that most investors significantly underperform the stock market and the mutual funds they invest in. The underperformance is because investors act like generals fighting the last war.Subject to
