If you are childless after infertility and wondering how to move forward without the future you dreamed of, this powerful conversation with Jody Day will meet you right where you are. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to grieve childlessness and how embracing that grief can lead to deep healing, creativity, and purpose. Jody shares her personal story, her insights from years of working in the childless-not-by-choice space, and how grief can evolve from something you endure into something you grow through. Inside this episode: Why grief is not an event but a skill What it means to experience disenfranchised grief as a childless woman How to feel seen in a society that avoids your pain What it takes to build your own support network as you age Why asking for help is a form of strength and connection Unforgettable quotes from Jody Day: “Grief is not an event. It's a skill.” “You're not needy. You have needs. You're human.” “We grieve that which we have loved.” “Grief is the emotion that allows us to let go of what was in order to embrace what's next.” “I look back at the woman who tried so hard and say: You didn't know more was available to you.” Whether you are early in your grief or further down the path, this episode will remind you that you are not alone, and that you still have the power to build a life you love. You are not too late. You are not alone. You may be childless, but your story still matters. This episode will remind you that healing is possible, connection is available, and the life ahead of you still holds meaning. Helpful links and resources:

SYNOPSIS:This is a recording of one of our free, live Eventbrite sessions, where Ali Mezey was joined by Jane Peterson, PhD - and you, our audience - for a live, honest, body-centered conversation about the real work of being in relationship.(Yes, this episode includes live audience questions!)Together, we explore how our bodies carry old relational patterns - what Jane calls the "social soma" - and how these hidden imprints can shape the way we love, fight, and stay (or don't stay) connected.We talk about why love alone isn't always enough to align two people's lives, and why asking deeper, more honest questions early on matters so much.Jane shares practical ways to stay close even when life pulls you in different directions: evolving agreements, repairing after hurt, setting shared goals, and building intimacy that grows with you.We touch on marriage, infidelity, and non-traditional relationships with honesty and warmth, offering grounded advice for navigating real-world love.Whether you're partnered, single, or somewhere in between, this conversation will leave you with new ways to understand yourself, your relationships, and the deep intelligence of your body in all of it.To be an angel to the podcast, click hereTo read more about the podcast, click hereMORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comMORE JANE PETERSON:Website: www.human-systems-institute.comContact: humansystemsinstitute@gmail.comBIO:Jane Peterson, PhD, is the co-founder and executive director of the Human Systems Institute, Inc.

In yesterday's show, the neuroscientist Leor Zmigrod explained how radical ideology is infecting our brains. Today, Unite America executive director Nick Troiano explains how the American democratic system is empowering radicals in both parties. In The Primary Solution, Troiano argues that party primaries give disproportionate influence to political extremes, with 90% of elections being decided in primaries where few people participate. Troiano advocates for open primaries that allow all voters to participate regardless of party affiliation, citing Alaska's reform which combine open primaries with ranked-choice voting as a model solution. FIVE TAKEAWAYS* The primary election system in America gives disproportionate influence to political fringes, as 90% of elections are effectively decided in primaries where few people participate.* In 16 states, independent voters (about 16 million Americans) are locked out of taxpayer-funded primaries, meaning they cannot participate in elections that often determine the final outcome.* Five states (Nebraska, Louisiana, California, Washington, and Alaska) have already abolished party primaries for state or federal elections, implementing various alternative systems.* Troiano advocates for the Alaska model, which combines an open all-candidate primary with instant runoff elections, allowing all voters to participate regardless of party affiliation.* Structural reform at the state level is more achievable than national reform, as the Constitution allows states to set the "time, place, and manner" of their elections without requiring constitutional amendments.Nick Troiano is the founding executive director of Unite America, a philanthropic venture fund that invests in nonpartisan election reform to foster a more representative and functional government. Since 2019, Unite America has invested over $50 million to help win three major statewide ballot initiatives and over a dozen state legislative and municipal policy victories. In 2014, Troiano ran for the US House of Representatives in Pennsylvania's 10th District and was both the youngest candidate of the cycle and the most competitive independent Congressional candidate nationally in over two decades. Nick earned both his BA and MA in American government from Georgetown University and, as an undergraduate, cofounded an endowed Social Innovation and Public Service Fund. He regularly provides commentary to a range of media outlets on topics of democracy and politics, and he has been featured in three documentaries: Follow the Leader, Broken Eggs, and Unrepresented. He lives in Denver, Colorado.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

The arts have that capacity to be powerful broadcasters, conveyors of messages, invitations to celebration, reflection, storytelling, narrative building and so on. There's a vital role here for the arts. But like the rest of society, frankly, whether it's the banking system or government we're simply not doing it well enough that we could say we're satisfied with how much is happening and everything's going to be okay. It's not. If we just stopped now, chaos and worse are due. It's not to say that we can hold up the arts and say, if only you were doing your job, everything would be fine. No, we all have, no matter what sector, so much to do.This is my second conscient conversation with social innovator and former CEO of McConnell Foundation, Stephen Huddart. The first took place on June 17, 2021 in Montréal, episode 58, and this second took place on September 24th, 2024 in Victoria BC. I've condensed all of this rich conversation down to my new format of 15 minutes – not an easy edit - so what you'll hear highlights from our exchange about the vital role of art, social innovation, relations with indigenous peoples, the panarchy cycle, Stephen's leadership role with the Victoria Forum (co-hosted with members of the Canadian Senate) and more.Action pointsNurture the capacity of art to be powerful broadcasters, conveyors of messages, invitations to celebration, reflection, storytelling, narrative building, etc.Increase the vitality and role of art at the local level to contribute to a more dynamic civic cultureCreate more configurations to present, invite, engage, dialogue, contemplate, discuss the artsSee, hear and deeply hear others perspectives.Nurture the power of art to serve as a catalyst for inspiration and communityShow notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIStory PreviewWhat if art holds the key to unlocking our collective future?

Hey thereWelcome to the first conscient roundtable conversation recorded on Saturday March 1, 2025 in Tiohtià:ke (also known as Montreal). This episode features local artists, activists and cultural workers Alyssa Scott, Devon Hardy, Jimmy Ung, Katrine Claassens, Sophie Weider, Sébastian Méric de Bellefon and myself (I'm actually from Ottawa) talking about our passions, fears and dreams and engaging in some playful banter, though, I have to say, this group had some pretty serious issues on their minds.Do you know any art and science jokes? Our conversation lasted 91 minutes and is presented here without any edits but before running the tape, so to speak, I want to share 4 of my favorite excerpts from this roundtable to whet your appetite and set the table for the feast of words you are about to hear.First we talked a lot about artists and scientist during this session, for example, Sophie Weider observed that : What I think is interesting about making art about a problem that I guess came out through science because it brings in the audience and prompts the audience to reflect on themselves as part of this problem or as part of this innovation or whatever it is.  I think that that brings in the identity piece that you were talking about, Jimmy, where it's like even just consuming art is a way of discovering yourself and your identity. But then art that asks you to reflect, or perhaps create, art that might be engaging or community engaged art does that extra step of now that you've reflected and seen, okay, wait, I'm part of something bigger than myself, what do I have to say about it or what do I have to do about it.Shortly after, Jimmy Ung, who was our host that day along with his wife Hannah, responded:And we're thinking about this art-science relation. And to me, it's always felt clear to me that what art can do for science is to democratize science. It's to make it more accessible. But then what I'm curious is about, about is what can science do for the arts? And I'm kind of stuck there in my own mind, like, what is it that science can do for artists? And I kind of often approach life through three pillars of beauty, which is art, goodness, which is morality and ethics, and then truth, which is the role of science, I think. And I always felt that the answer is often that the third one is always the mediator. So when trying to find how to better find that balance between art and science, then we should look to morality and ethics. And when we try to find the balance between what's good and what's true, then it's the role of art to be the mediator, and so on and so forth.And you'll hear at the very end, and I hope you're able to stay until the end. Sophie Weider again talked about the end of the world as we know it, which is something that's always on my mind. It's a topic that I often explore in this podcast, but I love Sophie's take on it. So here it is.Just to quickly respond to your comment about despair of the world as we know it. Obviously there is a lot of science and yeah, information about the direction the world is heading and, and I think we can assume that things will go badly before they're again good. But I would like to say that like the end of the world as we know it is not necessarily a bad thing. We all know that there are huge systemic problems that are causing the challenges we're facing today. And those things need to be solved, and we need to have a fundamental shift to see them solved. Whether that will happen or whether human race will just fizzle out, who knows? But I'd like to think that change will happen and that it is possible, at least possible that it could be positive in some way, at least, maybe at the end of the day, even if a lot of hardship has to come before then. I don't know if that's hopeful or just sad, but that's my take.And a few seconds later, Katrine Claassens, one of our guests, talked about artists as midwives:Maybe just to add to what you said about thinking of artists as midwives, we are not death doulas (providing hospice care) but rather as midwives for another world. Katrine later refers to an artwork in California : https://liztoohey-wiese.com/forced-into-a-great-and-difficult-transformationSo, you get the idea. You'll hear these four excerpts in context in a few minutes but i like the way they set us in the mood to listen. I want to thank the brave participants of this first roundtable session for their generosity, courage and wisdom. They are now on the public record as cool and visionary people.  If listeners want to know more about these conscient roundtables – why I created them or background on brave new waves and David Bohm's dialogue work - please read or listen to my posting on my a calm presence called conscient roundtables. And if you want to comment on what you hear please go to conscient.ca and use any of the conscient podcast social media to share your thoughts.

In this powerful episode  with Aly Vredenburgh, an author, researcher, and mental health advocate who is shedding light on the systemic failures fueling Gen Z's mental health crisis. Aly is the author of Out of Focus: Why Gen Z's Mental Health Crisis is More Complex Than You Think and is currently producing the documentary series Crisis Generation. Episode Summary   Mental health struggles are often treated as individual problems, but Aly argues that society-wide issues like healthcare access, economic instability, and social disconnection play a major role. We discuss the impact of social media, the stigma still surrounding mental health, and how urban planning and lifestyle changes have worsened the isolation crisis. Aly shares key policy shifts needed for real change and practical steps individuals can take to support themselves and others. About the Guest – Aly Vredenburgh   Aly holds a BA in Sociology and an MA in Social Innovation from the University of San Diego. She is a passionate advocate for mental health reform and is on a mission to expose the gaps in our systems that leave young people struggling in silence. Key Takeaways:   ✔ Mental health is a societal issue—we need systemic reform, not just self-care.✔ Social media is both a tool and a trap—it can connect people but also fuels escapism.✔ Stigma remains a major barrier despite increased awareness.✔ Prevention is lacking—schools and communities need more resources.✔ Everyday actions matter—including others, practicing empathy, and fostering real-life connections can create real change.

Jenny sits down with Michelle Mc Mahon, Digital Marketing and Content Officer at the University of Limerick (UL), to discuss how her team has mastered authentic social media storytelling. Michelle shares her journey from PR to higher ed marketing, the strategy behind UL's student-driven content, and how her team collaborates across departments to create compelling campaigns. If you're looking for fresh strategies to elevate your university's social media presence, this episode is packed with insights.‍Key TakeawaysAuthenticity is about people-first storytelling. Instead of pushing institutional messaging, UL prioritizes real stories from students.Social media content should be channel-specific. What works on TikTok won't necessarily perform on LinkedIn or Instagram.Students are the best brand ambassadors. They bring credibility, relatability, and an authentic voice that resonates with prospective students.Recruitment is only half the battle—retention matters too. A well-structured, engaging student content creator program keeps students involved and invested.Collaboration between departments strengthens marketing efforts. Working with research and athletics teams helps UL showcase its strengths in a meaningful way.Fun should not be overlooked in university marketing. Content that entertains is more likely to engage and build affinity with the audience.G‍uest Name: Michelle McMahon, Digital Marketing and Content Officer, University of LimerickGuest Social: LinkedInGuest Bio: Michelle Mc Mahon joined University of Limerick as Digital Marketing Officer in 2021 – moving home to the west of Ireland after ten years in Dublin. Her prior roles include Head of Social & Innovation at FleishmanHillard Ireland, and founding editor of digital publication Her.ie; where she managed a team that grew an audience from 0 to one million unique monthly visitors in two years. Prior to this, Michelle presented and produced a daily mid-morning radio show on BAUER media's SPIN South West. As part of her role in the small but mighty Central Marketing Unit at UL, Michelle works on impactful, storytelling-led campaigns, and shapes the strategic approach to key channels including Instagram and TikTok. Michelle also manages the award-winning student social media officer programme at University of Limerick, bringing authentic student-led content to the university's social channels.How Michelle Mc Mahon Transitioned from PR to Higher Ed MarketingMichelle's journey into higher education marketing began when she left the fast-paced world of PR in Dublin to move back home to western Ireland. She had always been intrigued by the idea of working in higher ed, and when a digital marketing role at UL opened up, she jumped at the chance. For her, the appeal was clear—education is something truly meaningful to promote. Unlike PR, where she sometimes had to market things she wasn't passionate about, higher ed offered a mission she could fully get behind.At UL, Michelle found herself part of a small but dynamic central marketing team. She quickly realized that while working in university marketing may not be as romantic as she once imagined, it is both challenging and rewarding. With a strong passion for storytelling and an interest in student engagement, she has helped shape a social media strategy that prioritizes real voices and human connection.‍What Does Authenticity in Higher Ed Social Media Actually Look Like?"Authenticity" has been a buzzword in higher ed marketing for years, but what does it actually mean? For Michelle and her team, authenticity is about putting people first. Instead of flooding feeds with institutional messaging, they focus on individual stories that resonate with their audience.One of the key questions they ask before creating content is, "Who cares?" They've found that people care about people—not about lists of faculty credentials or course attributes. Real student experiences always perform better than polished marketing copy. That's why Michelle emphasizes the importance of listening to students and allowing them to tell their stories in their own voice.Additionally, she acknowledges that as marketers, it's easy to assume we know what students want based on our own college experiences. But times have changed. The way students communicate is different, their needs are different, and their expectations of digital content are different. The key to staying relevant is simple: Listen first. Create second.‍Why Content Should Be Tailored to Each PlatformMichelle is a firm believer that content should be channel-specific. With so many platforms to manage and limited resources, the temptation is often to use a "Create Once, Publish Everywhere" (COPE) strategy. However, UL takes a more tailored approach.For example, while their postgraduate recruitment campaign featured beautifully produced videos, those same polished assets didn't belong on TikTok. Instead of forcing them onto the platform, UL's team had one of their student ambassadors, Joseph, create a reaction video showing his surprise at seeing himself on billboards and buses. This lo-fi, personal approach performed significantly better than a direct upload of the campaign video ever would have.Michelle's philosophy? Give people what they want, where they want to see it. Less, but more tailored, content is often more effective than trying to be everywhere at once.How UL Successfully Recruits and Retains Student CreatorsRecruiting student content creators is one thing—keeping them engaged is another. UL has built a robust student social media officer program that balances freedom and structure.The recruitment process starts with an annual push in September, but applications remain open year-round. Michelle and her team don't just wait for students to apply; they proactively scout for talent by reaching out to students who tag UL on social media. They also visit classrooms—especially within journalism and media programs—to directly invite students to apply.Once students join the team, they're encouraged to pitch ideas freely. However, Michelle also recognizes that some students excel with assigned tasks rather than open-ended brainstorming. To keep students engaged, UL fosters a supportive community, offers regular meet-ups, and ensures contributors feel valued. The success of the program is evident: some students have stayed on for multiple years, and many use their experience as a stepping stone to career opportunities post-graduation.How UL Collaborates Across Departments for Stronger ContentOne of UL's biggest social media wins has been breaking down silos and collaborating across departments. Their recent partnership with the research team is a prime example.Research plays a huge role at UL, but translating complex scientific work into engaging content is a challenge. Rather than sticking to traditional academic messaging, UL's marketing team worked closely with researchers to create a compelling video series. These videos showcase both high-profile experts and up-and-coming scholars, presenting research in a way that resonates with a broad audience.Another exciting collaboration is with the athletics department. UL is known as "Ireland's sporting campus," and the team has been working on better integrating sports content into the central social media channels. What started as a student-generated idea—a weekly sports roundup—has now grown into a full-fledged initiative, with additional student social media officers dedicated specifically to sports content.By building trust with other university departments, Michelle's team has expanded UL's digital presence in meaningful ways—without overstretching their own limited resources.Michelle's Confession: She listens to everything—podcasts, audiobooks, e-learning courses—on double speed. Her husband jokes that he wishes he could speed up conversations with her in real life!Final ThoughtsMichelle Mc Mahon's approach to social media at the University of Limerick is a masterclass in authentic, student-driven marketing. From prioritizing real voices over polished institutional messaging to tailoring content for each platform and fostering collaborations across campus, her strategies offer valuable lessons for any higher ed marketer. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Jenny Li Fowlerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jennylifowler/https://twitter.com/TheJennyLiAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Confessions of a Higher Ed Social Media Manager is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Mohamed Osman, CEO of Spring Impact, on Scaling Social Innovation. Spring Impact was founded on the belief that social innovation must be scaled strategically and sustainably to meet the sheer magnitude of today's problems. Rather than focusing solely on organisational growth, Spring Impact works with mission-driven organisations and funders to help them design pathways for scaling impact in ways that optimise resources, reduce dependency on unsustainable funding models, and embed solutions within larger systems. Mohamed Osman makes a distinction between growth and scale. While growth is often linear — requiring a proportional increase in funding, staffing, and resources — he notes that true scale occurs when impact expands at a faster rate than the investment needed to sustain it. The key challenge for social enterprises and nonprofits is ensuring that their interventions remain effective and sustainable as they reach larger populations. Too often, solutions that work well in a localised setting fail when applied to broader, more complex environments. Spring Impact encourages organisations to stay focused not on any single solution but on the problem itself, ensuring that as they scale, their interventions remain relevant, adaptable, and aligned with community needs. Funding remains one of the greatest barriers to scaling impact. To better understand how organisations overcome financial hurdles, Spring Impact conducted a research study analysing more than 100 nonprofits, with in-depth insights from 22 organisations that had successfully navigated the challenge. One of the most striking findings was the role of long-term funding partnerships, particularly with governments. Many assume that once a nonprofit demonstrates proof of concept, it can transfer its solution entirely to government agencies, allowing philanthropic funding to exit. However, the reality is that long-term success often requires continued collaboration, with nonprofits shifting from direct service providers to advisory and mentorship roles. Philanthropic funding remains vital even after handover, providing the flexibility to adapt solutions, support implementation, and ensure that systemic change is sustained.
