There is an increased awareness recently about bringing somatic-based tools into our therapy practices, mainly because so much of the perinatal experience is influenced by the changes taking place in our bodies. Today's guest explains why a body approach to therapy can help perinatal clients, how perinatal experiences can alienate a woman from her body, and why this type of therapy can be beneficial for those in the perinatal period. Join us to learn more! Dr. Leslie Ann Costello is a psychologist and certified bioenergetic therapist. Originally a preschool teacher, she volunteered as a Lamaze instructor in the 1980s and subsequently studied developmental psychology, with a focus on infant mental health. Professional encounters with pregnancy and infant loss propelled her toward maternal mental health as a career focus. As a freshly minted Ph.D., she landed in a grant-funded prenatal clinic in Louisiana, soaking up experiences that shaped the trajectory of her thirty-year career as a professor, therapist, trainer, and supervisor. Leslie is a mom, step-mom, and grandmother who identifies as an American living in Canada. Her new book, Helping Mothers Helping Babies, is for perinatal therapists who want to bring somatic tools into their work with clients. Show Highlights: The cultural shift that focuses more on the mother and her somatic experience The “mother first” philosophy in perinatal mental health Respecting the language of body sensation OVER the language of emotion and story Using physical grounding exercises can help with emotional overwhelm. With somatic tools, slower is always better. Not having the language for your direct experience is normal. Dr. Costello's message about the benefits of body-centered healing therapies Understanding somatic interventions The WHAT is more important than the WHY in understanding a body experience. Drawbacks of the current culture of aesthetic living and parenting Maternity leave: differences in the US and Canada Drawbacks in the US practice of maternity leave (It's not socially responsible to ignore the 4th trimester.)

What do you mean, just like normal?Wednesday 22nd April 2026 - Ma-kak-que - It's been a difficult week with no sleep for Rich, but luckily he is a pro and none of that makes it to the screen and it's another serious news day covering Barbary Apes, Finnish sky penises and the interview that all the media wanted. Everything is OK. You have nothing to fear. Apart from Ally coming to your house in the night which is about 50% likely to happen. Sorry.Friday 24th April 2026 - Nuke Em - Rich and Ally are back for the last Newsround of the Week and Rich is a bit tired from performing every night. How did John Craven do it?

They founded Street Mob Records and have signed talents including Calle 24.Calle 24, real name Diego Armando Millán Medrano from Chihuahua, Mexico, transitioned from group work to solo artistry and songwriting. His prior collaboration with Fuerza Regida on “Qué Onda” debuted at #61 on the Hot 100 and #8 on Hot Latin Songs, with 7.6 million first-week U.S. streams.The segment covers the song's core data, style, and early performance metrics as of April 2026. “Noche Perfecta” quickly surpassed 10.6 million Spotify streams globally, showing strong daily activity especially in Mexico. The lyric video accumulated approximately 2.5 million YouTube views in its first week. Analytic Dreamz compares these numbers to “Qué Onda” benchmarks and analyzes streaming-first consumption patterns, label synergy through Street Mob Records, cross-promotion, viral TikTok traction, and Mexico-first performance with U.S. crossover potential.This organic analysis explores the broader corridos tumbados wave, independent label strategies, platform algorithms, and the combined momentum of Fuerza Regida's established scale with Calle 24's rising trajectory. Early indicators point to strong chart prospects and continued growth.Tune in to this segment of Notorious Mass Effect with Analytic Dreamz for an in-depth look at the data, context, and strategic factors driving “Noche Perfecta.”Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Sinica: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wrapped up his fourth visit to China in as many years last week, and this one may be the most consequential yet. It comes at a moment when Spain has emerged, almost improbably, as the most outspoken voice in Europe challenging the direction of American foreign policy — closing its airspace to U.S. military aircraft involved in the war in Iran, denying Washington the use of the Rota and Morón bases, recognizing Palestine, and getting expelled from the U.S.-led Gaza Coordination Center for its "anti-Israel obsession." Against that backdrop, Sánchez delivered a remarkable speech at Tsinghua University — a speech I wrote about in detail on the Sinica Substack (PM Pedro Sánchez's Tsinghua Speech: A Masterclass in Diplomatic Rhetoric) — defending multilateralism, calling the EU-China trade deficit unsustainable, and naming China "a country rebuilding its greatness."To help make sense of it, I'm joined by Mario Esteban Rodríguez, full professor at the Autonomous University of Madrid, director of its Center for East Asian Studies, and senior fellow at the Elcano Royal Institute. Mario is the scholar most frequently quoted in Spanish and European media coverage of Spain-China relations, and the author most recently of China's Vertical Multilateralism and the Global South (Routledge, 2026). We discuss whether Sánchez is running an updated Merkel playbook or something qualitatively new, how much of the pivot is really about Trump, the sectoral politics of EVs and Iberian pork, the Chery plant in Barcelona, Spain's role as a gateway to Latin America, and whether Madrid is now a trailblazer for a broader European — and transatlantic — reorientation toward Beijing.06:33 — Sánchez's China strategy: pragmatism, consistency, and political capital08:35 — Domestic politics: the PSOE–PP consensus, Vox, and the regional contradiction12:40 — Merkel's playbook vs. Sánchez's: COVID, Ukraine, and the macroeconomic imbalance15:55 — The Tsinghua speech: Matteo Ricci, multipolarity, and the human rights omission28:17 — The Trump factor: Iran, Gaza, and the limits of overestimating the American effect35:48 — Trade, EV tariffs, pork, and Chinese investment in Spain (the Chery plant in Barcelona)47:04 — Agricultural constituencies and the paradox of Vox voters who benefit from China trade49:01 — Spain's influence in Brussels and the conditions for other member states to follow53:09 — Spain as gateway to Latin America, and the wider European (and Canadian) turn to BeijingPaying it Forward: The European Think-Tank Network on China (ETNC) — a network providing country-specific insights on EU member states' approaches to China, including the granular differences and nuances that non-European analysts often miss.RecommendationsMario Esteban: A trip, rather than a book — New Zealand, which he's visiting this summer with his family to mark the 25th anniversary of the release of The Fellowship of the Ring.

Here's an excerpt from a new Pushkin audiobook I think you'll enjoy, The Pain of Others by Miguel Ángel Hernández. In a quiet town in the Spanish countryside, Miguel Ángel Hernández's best friend murdered his sister and took his own life by jumping off a cliff. No one ever knew why. The investigation was closed, and the crime forgotten. Twenty years later, when time has dulled the shock but not the questions, Miguel returns home, putting himself in the shoes of a detective, in an attempt to reconstruct the tragic night that marked the end of his adolescence. But the investigation will awaken ghosts that he thought he had left behind: a childhood marked by the Church, by sin and guilt; the constant presence of illness and death; the oppressive, closed world from which he managed to escape. Based on true events, The Pain of Others is a chilling audiobook that blends police thriller, investigative reporting, and literary suspense—an unflinching reckoning with violence, memory, and the question that still haunts the author: Did he fail to see the warning signs that his best friend was capable of this horrific crime? Find The Pain of Others at Pushkin.fm or wherever you get audiobooks. Ben
This is the story of the world's most valuable sunken treasure galleon - the San José - lost off the coast of Colombia in 1708. "Neptune's Gold: The Billion-Dollar Shipwreck and the Ghosts of the Spanish Empire" recounts the events surrounding the sinking of the vessel - and then 300+ years of searching to find the $1 billion in gold and silver that was lost in the wreck. This includes a cast of characters as colorful as they are mysterious - including Cuban-American shipwreck fanatic Roger Dooley. In this episode we interview author Julian Sancton (who also wrote the amazing "Madhouse at the End of the Earth") who talks about the book, the people involved, the legacy of Spanish gold and silver, and the future of the treasure.

Support the Institute today. https://givenow.nova.edu/the-institute-for-neuro-immune-medicine-inim-2025 In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Dr. Andrew Campbell, a specialist in complex chronic illness, toxic exposures, and immune dysfunction. Together, they examine the clinical science behind mycotoxin illness — how mold-derived toxins enter the body, why they are frequently missed or misdiagnosed, and how they may be driving some of the most prevalent and poorly understood chronic conditions of our time. Dr. Campbell shares the evidence base connecting mycotoxins to neurological diseases including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, ALS, and Parkinson's disease, as well as autoimmune disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, autism, and reproductive health conditions. He explains the critical difference between urine and serum mycotoxin testing, clarifies what IgG and IgE antibodies actually indicate about current versus past exposure, and outlines a clinically validated approach to diagnosis and treatment through My Myco Lab. He also addresses environmental sources of mycotoxin exposure, the first rule of toxicology in clinical practice, and why accurate testing is the foundation of any meaningful recovery pathway. Dr. Andrew Campbell is a Medical Clinician, Director, Officer, Advisor, and Medical Consultant, also Editor-in-Chief of several journals and research studies, and was recently selected as Top Medical Consultant of the Year for 2020 by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP) for his outstanding leadership, dedication, and commitment to the healthcare profession. With over 45 years of professional experience as a renowned Medical Clinician, Dr. Campbell has certainly proven himself as an expert in the field of integrative health and traditional medicine. Dr. Campbell is a dynamic, results-driven leader who has demonstrated success by treating the most complex patients and having extensive experience with testing for molds and mycotoxins from environmental and toxic exposures. He is fluent in Arabic, Hungarian, French, Spanish and English. He has also effectively worked alongside medical professionals from other cultures in Central and South America, Western and Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.

Abril 21, 2026 - Sabia usted que podemos estar rodeados de las cosas de Dios sin embargo no vivir cerca de El? Y es que el activismo religioso nos aleja de una relacion fresca y natural con Dios; transformandonos en autosuficientes, desconfiados y egoistas. Hoy el pastor Carlos nos ofrece un llamado a dejar la apatia y reiniciar una relacion creciente con nuestro Padre Celestial. Escuchemos la conclusion del mensaje que comenzamos la semana pasada titulado: "Fortaleciendo la Piedad".

He gave them all into his hand. [18] And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon. [19] And they burned the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem and burned all its palaces with fire and destroyed all its precious vessels. [20] He took into exile in Babylon those who had escaped from the sword, and they became servants to him and to his sons until the establishment of the kingdom of Persia, [21] to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths.

In this gripping episode, we speak with Samantha Giles, who recounts her journey from a childhood marked by family trauma to her eventual "escape" from the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses. After her mother joined the organization seeking stability at a low point, Samantha's world became "very small," defined by a "significant decline" in quality of life where gymnastics and holidays were replaced by a constant, pervasive fear of demons and Armageddon. Samantha explores the nuances of growing up as a "poor" Witness in a wealthy congregation, leading her to seek validity through baptism at just 15 years old—a decision that would later cost her everything. The heart of the episode details the "horror" of a judicial committee where Samantha was interrogated by three older men about her sexuality in front of her own mother. This violation was only the beginning; after being thrown out of her home at 17 and left to navigate the "real world" without any life skills, she faced a final, shocking betrayal involving a family inheritance. Samantha shares how her mother manipulated a family will to strip her of her grandfather's legacy, referring to her only as "the disfellowshipped one". It is a powerful story of reclaiming agency and building a new identity centered on unconditional love. Key Takeaways The Trap of Seeking Validity: Samantha reflects on how she felt "invalidated" as a fatherless child from a poor background, which pressured her into making a lifelong religious commitment at age 15 just to feel "accepted" within the congregation hierarchy. Obedience vs. Critical Thinking: The organization focuses on teaching children to "obey" rather than "how to think," leaving them vulnerable to whoever is the strongest presence in their life once they leave the sheltered environment. The "Violating" Judicial Process: Samantha describes the invasive and abusive nature of being questioned by elders regarding private sexual details, a process she notes felt like a violation and led her to push back rather than "repent". Shunning as Financial Manipulation: In a disturbing turn, Samantha's mother and brothers used the shunning protocol to justify rewriting a family will, effectively stealing Samantha's inheritance to purchase a home for themselves while she was caring for her dying grandparents. Reclaiming Identity through Motherhood: Now a mother herself, Samantha contrasts the "conditional love" of her past with the deep, protective bond she has with her daughters, vowing to never let a belief system dominate her ability to fight for their best interests. Direct Quotes "Demons were everywhere… we were just teaching children that like demons are walking among you". "What you call love does not resemble like any love I felt for my daughters. That's control". "Agency for me is always the biggest and most important thing. I think it's probably the crux of the ultimate of why I left".

What It's About This episode teaches Polish vocabulary for common pets and animals. Ania covers how to talk about your furry (and scaly) friends in Polish—from dogs and cats to more exotic companions. The episode includes practical phrases for describing your pet, asking about others' animals, and understanding Polish pet culture. Key Polish Words & Phrases Pies – dog Kot – cat Zwierzę domowe – pet (domestic animal) Mam psa/kota – I have a dog/cat Jak masz na imię? – What's your name? (for pets too!) Cultural Note Poles love their pets! Dogs are especially popular in cities, and you'll often see them in cafes and on public transport. The phrase "zwierzę domowe" literally means "domestic animal"—Poles don't use a single word like "pet," they specify "house animal."
