What can we grow here? And perhaps more importantly—what can we learn from the place where we live? In the second episode of our early literacy series "Growing Our Storytellers," we explore Grow Where You Are, a community early literacy project in Dillon, Montana, with Katrina Kennett, a professor of education at the University of Montana Western.  The idea behind Grow Where You Are grew out of a collection of projects, conversations and community efforts focused on understanding what can grow in southwest Montana—and helping people of all ages overcome the barriers that can make growing feel out of reach, while developing the imaginations of our earliest learners. Katrina talks about the many pieces already happening in the community—from seed catalogs at the library and raised garden beds to efforts to grow food for the local food bank, as educators explore how all ages can participate. Katrina is also joined by Marti Laknar of the Beaverhead Conservation District, who brings a different but complementary perspective. Her work with the Beaverhead Conservation District has brought her face-to-face with the growing issue of food insecurity and the loss of basic food-growing and preservation skills they are hoping to reinvigorate in their community. She remembers a time when gardens were common in Dillon and throughout Montana, with vegetable gardens tucked into backyards and alleyways. Over time, convenience, larger grocery stores and changes in how communities access food contributed to a loss of those skills. Together they speak on connecting people not only with information, but with one another—older generations with younger generations, experienced growers with beginners, and community organizations with people who want to get involved. In This Episode The story behind the Grow Where You Are project What it means to understand what grows in southwest Montana from the earliest age Building partnerships and connecting community resources The potential for fresh produce in local preschools and schools The importance of passing knowledge between generations How gardening can strengthen community connections Why growing food is about more than food—it's about resilience and relationships Links https://www.umwestern.edu/directory/katrina-kennett/ Enjoying the podcast?

Description:Late in the nineties, Dov Baron walked on stage in Vancouver before a few hundred strangers who had, it seemed, already made up their minds about him. Fifteen minutes in, with nothing landing, he stopped, walked to the edge of the stage, sat down, and told them the truth: he was there to serve, and he was clearly missing something. Within a couple of minutes, the whole room leaned in. For years he called that moment close to magic.It wasn't magic. And that, it turns out, is the better story, because it can now be measured.This is Part One of a two-parter, and it stays deliberately on solid, peer-reviewed ground. The claim is simple and startling: the field between us is real, and it shows up in the lab. For a century, brain science studied one lonely brain at a time; second-person neuroscience finally wired up two people at once, and a hidden world opened. Storytellers' and listeners' brains couple when communication works and uncouple the instant it fails. Mothers' and babies' brainwaves fall into sync on eye contact, though the researchers are careful to say this is not telepathy; it runs on ordinary signals. Even two pendulum clocks on the same wall drift into a shared rhythm. It is called sympathetic resonance, and it is everywhere.Dov also handles the most over-hyped idea in the field, mirror neurons, honestly: the finding is real, the cathedral built on top of it is shaky. And he leaves you with something you can feel tonight, a coherent bodily state you can tune with slow breathing at around six breaths a minute.Then, one night in 1914, the whole thing scaled up to thousands. The state you carry is the state you bring into every room. This is the ground. Part Two walks off the edge of it.Episode highlights:The stage night that ended Dov's keynote "presentations" for goodThe 2010 study showing two brains couple, and uncouple the instant communication failsWhy mother and baby brainwaves sync on eye contact, and why the researchers insist it is not telepathyThe pop-neuroscience darling that serious scientists spent years walking backThe one coherence state you can tune tonight, at about six breaths a minuteLinksWrite to Dov: dov@dovbaron.com (subject line: The Click)Website; https://DovBaron.comThe Dov Baron Show (interviews) https://DovBaron.com/podcastsBook, The Art of Belonging: Subscribe, and Part Two of Episode Two drops next.Episode 1 in this Series: The Biology of Meaning:About the showThe Polymathic Perspective is a documentary-style solo podcast where Dov Baron examines the emotional logic beneath power, culture, identity, and meaning, drawing on psychology, neuroscience, geopolitics, and philosophy.

„Ce îmi trebuie mie să spun povești?”, se întreabă profesioniștii. „Munca mea vorbește pentru mine. Nu am chef să dau din casă”. E ceva ce și tu spui? Mulți se tem să spună povești, să nu fie respinși sau considerați neinteresanți. Dar în 2026 nu mai poți crește fără să spui povești. Nu oricum, ci structurat. Nu despre orice, ci pe subiecte relevante. Nu în orice format, ci respectând platformele.

As Big Bird sang "It's Not Easy Being Green" at Jim Henson's funeral, fundies managed to somehow twist this wholesome moment as evidence of a Satanic conspiracy. So how did the internet turn the nicest man in Hollywood into the Devil? Join us in Part 2 as we venture into The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth and The Storyteller, where children's entertainment gets tangled up with occult symbolism, Kabbalah, alchemy, demons and David Bowie's impressive yet inappropriate codpiece. Plus a very confused demonic Yoda from the 14th century, some Fraggle Rock satanic panic and a scary cathedral — and somehow Jim Henson's memorial is more Satanic than this actual Satan podcast. Skepticism, religious satire and atheist comedy collide once again in a glorious pile of puppets, demons and deeply questionable interpretations of children's entertainment. Fully scripted. Heavily produced. Featuring our intrepid hero Satan, some deeply uncomfortable questions about puppet anatomy, and an unwelcome QAnon cameo.PATREON — We already proved supporting the show helps fund deep-state puppet conspiracies, and frankly, if that's not a five-star incentive, we don't know what is. Patrons get 2 bonus episodes a month, early ad-free listening, and exclusive extras.

Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan challenges us to examine the people we've learned to see as “the other” and calls us to love our neighbors—even those we may consider enemies. Through the story, we're reminded that following Jesus means choosing compassion, mercy, and love beyond the boundaries we've created.

Hello to you listening from wherever your feet touch the ground. And, Happy Birthday, Patrice from wherever your feet are touching our Jersey Girl ground! As I have done at this time every year I retrieve a cardboard box from a shelf in my closet, set it on the diningroom table, open the top, and take out a spiral notebook, a guidebook, and a few tokens. The notebook is the journal I kept as I walked 500 miles across Spain on the Camino de Santiago. I was a pilgrim. The guidebook helped to shepherd me from place to place, score a clean albergue for the night, and find a low-cost pilgrim meal. The tokens remind me of who I met or something very special I stumbled upon. From now until the 1st of November I'll be rereading my words jotted at the end of a long day of walking, maybe 15, 20 or 25 miles. Hot sun or cold rain, flat concrete sidewalks or rocky mountain passes. The walk is the path. The walk is the journey. The walk is the destination back home to self. But I had to learn this truth. It took long days before my head and heart and feet began to harmonize. I had to stop myself in the middle of the path because I was running ahead, chasing my shadow. I wanted to be there first, wherever there was. The cost of the chase was high. All around me was beauty, people, landscapes, animals, vistas, grapes ripening on vines, men harvesting in fields, and old ladies clustered together shelling peas into bowls and trading gossip. My mind was miles ahead of my body. l had to stop, intentionally and practice something my teacher Thich Nhat Hanh always preached: mindful walking. Take a step and breathe in. Take a step and breathe out. Keep going. Mindfully. In this way I got where I needed to get. I slept where I needed to sleep. I met who I needed to meet. Because I had arrived in each moment of walking. I chose this podcast image from Deer Park Monastery where I often went on retreat. It's my cell phone shot of the sign I anticipated seeing as I drove down a narrow road to the parking lot below the hill where the monastery was situated. As soon as I saw the words, I Have Arrived, my breathing slowed, my shoulders relaxed, and everything about me seemed to melt. Arrived. Arrived. At home, I am at home. We clamor to know what's next and what if and how soon and when will we arrive. We chase the future in the hope that we will arrive at happiness. Here's the thing about chasing arrival: When we get what we have been racing toward it rarely feels the way we expected. An inner voice whispers, “Somehow I imagined this experience would be more rewarding.” Story Prompt: If you stopped right now, stopped chasing your life, and imagined yourself being present right inside your life, right where you belong, what might happen next? Write that story and share it out loud. And, as always, thank you for listening to “the music of the spoken word.” YOU'RE INVITED: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, subscribe & spread this episode with a generous 5-star Apple podcast review & comment—it helps us all—& join us next time!STOP BY my newly re-imagined Quarter Moon Story Arts website ARRANGE ----> a no-obligation Discovery Call STAY CURRENT with me as Diane Wyzga / Quarter Moon Story Arts on Substack Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Entering Erdenheim by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicALL content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

What makes an ending feel surprising without feeling random?The best twists don't blindside the audience. They blindside the character.In this episode, Zena Dell Lowe explores how storytellers can create endings that satisfy two seemingly opposite desires: the audience's desire to be surprised and their need for the story to make sense.The key is disruption. Give your protagonist a real plan, then blow it up with something beyond their reasonable control. Plant that disruption properly, and the audience gets to discover the way out alongside the character—rather than feeling like the writer simply pulled a surprise out of nowhere.Zena also explains why intelligent antagonists make stronger sources of dramatic conflict than bad luck, how disruption reveals true character, and why the best endings feel surprising in the moment and inevitable in hindsight.If you're a writer, storyteller, novelist, screenwriter, or anyone trying to craft a stronger ending, this episode will give you a new way to think about twists, foreshadowing, conflict, and payoff.Subscribe to The Storyteller's Mission so you don't miss the next episode.Watch this episode on YouTubeFree Resources for Writers:Seven Deadly Plot Points FREE TRAINING VIDEO Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.

What happens when a child who found safety, consistency and belonging in Head Start grows up to become a powerful advocate for the next generation?In this episode of the LIFTS Podcast, host Gwyneth Hyndman speaks with Hilary Gourneau, an enrolled Dakota member of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, former Fort Peck Tribal Head Start executive director and founder of Pté Collective, about how early literacy begins with creating spaces where children and families feel safe, seen and supported.Hilary shares what she learned during her time as a Head Start executive director—including the realities of serving children and families in rural Montana, the challenges of aging facilities, and the determination it took to advocate for new Head Start buildings in Poplar and Wolf Point.Hilary also shares the story of bringing Dolly Parton's Imagination Library books to families on the Fort Peck Reservation, even when traditional mailing systems didn't work for families who shared mailboxes or didn't have individual addresses.She also introduces Pté Collective, the consulting organization she created to bring a Native voice to early childhood and early learning, particularly in rural and Tribal communities. "Pté" is the Dakota word for female buffalo - a matriarchal symbol of strength, family, leadership.The conversation also turns to the future of Head Start and proposed changes that Hilary believes could have significant implications for mental health, children with special needs, and Tribal and local control. Ultimately, Hilary's message is simple and powerful: every child deserves access to early learning, healthcare, food, clean water, a safe home and a safe, healthy learning environment—and every child deserves someone willing to advocate for them.BioHilary is the former executive director of Fort Peck Tribal Head Start and the founder and director of Pté Collective.In This EpisodeHilary's own experience as a Head Start childGrowing up on the Fort Peck ReservationHer path to graduate school Bringing Indigenous culture into early learningDesigning spaces around children's physical, emotional, cultural and developmental needsWhy identity and belonging matterBooks mentionedBuffalo Fluffalo by Bess KalbPowwow Day Traci SorellLinkshttps://www.ptecollective.com/To Comment on Proposed Head Start Changes: https://nhsa.org/nprm-resources/how-to-speak-up-for-head-start/submit-a-public-comment/https://www.montanaimaginationlibrary.org/Enjoying the podcast?

Send us Fan MailMy guest today is J.C. Corry, author of The Storyteller's War: Geoffrey Chaucer, Reluctant Spy, listed in the Literature category on Art In Fiction.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ATuNBbQ2na8Premise for the novel: a genesis story for Geoffrey Chaucer. In his mid-twenties, he's drunk, unpublished, and desperate to win Pippa, and sent to Spain under cover of the wine trade while the Castilian Civil War rages.Was Chaucer really a spy? How researchers Crow and Olsen's Chaucer Life Records and Marion Turner's Chaucer: A European Life turned up a real, unexplained safe-conduct pass through Navarre in February 1366, and why "he was probably there as a spy" is the closest thing historians have to an answer.Why Chaucer, and why four novels about him: a university professor at UVic who made Middle English bearable, and the "proto-Renaissance" life Chaucer actually lived between the docks, the wine trade, and the royal court.Why the 14th century keeps pulling historical novelists back: the rise of English as a literary language, the Black Death cracking open the feudal system, the birth of Parliament, and Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, which draws a line from Chaucer's world straight to our own.The real love story underneath it all: the push and pull between Pippa and Chaucer's writing that JC calls "the spine of the series," and the historical fact that the two married but spent long stretches apart, both bound to royal service.Mercenaries for hire: Sir Hugh Calveley, Sir John Hawkwood, and Bertrand du Guesclin, and how a lull in the Hundred Years' War left soldiers with nothing to do but sell themselves to the highest bidder.Writing real historical figures next to invented ones, and the balancing act between staying true to how people actually lived and spoke in 1366 and not losing a contemporary reader along the way.On-location research: retracing Chaucer's route from London to Bordeaux, Pamplona, Logroño, Burgos, and Nájera, tasting a centuries-old liqueur, and finding the exact cloister that inspired a particularly gruesome scene with Pedro the Cruel.Writing his first battle scene: a $300 book called To Win and Lose a Medieval Battle, his father's WWII helmet with three bullet holes in it, and keeping Chaucer from disappearing inside his own war story.A reading from The Storyteller's War: Chaucer and Pippa sparring with his parents over marriage, money, and who really owns his attention, the manuscript or her.The moment JC hopes listeners walk away thinking about: the internal war Chaucer is fighting between love and ambition, running underneath the external one.What's next: The Storyteller's Reputation is with the publisher awaiting word, and book three, The Storyteller's Silence, is in research.Read more from J.C.

Hello to you listening from wherever your feet touch the ground. I am thrilled to announce that Quarter Moon Story Arts is live to the world with a new website designed by women for women to know themselves and each other through their stories. But not just any story. This is the space for women who are curious about how to discover and navigate their midlife pilgrimage stories so that they don't go unrecorded. One who knew the radical power of discovering and revealing your personal narrative was Gloria Steinem. She left behind her final unedited public thoughts about the vital role of women sharing their stories, as follows: “Hello, all you unique individuals out there. I'm so glad to be meeting you through the magic of the media. I wish I could meet each one of you in person, but in a way, this is what allows us now to see each other's lives, to influence each other's lives, to respect each other — and to, therefore, perpetuate what we hope is a global democracy. “Please feel free to respond in any way you can, and please tell your own story. This is the most important thing we can do for each other—to know each other through stories. And I hope so much that whoever you are, listening right now, you are able to do what you love—[and] to be, also, the unique person you are.” Midlife as sacred. How might you get to that place of what awaits you as the unique woman you are? By exploring your midlife transition as if you are on pilgrimage. Midlife is a sacred space of transition. A pilgrimage mirrors the sacred realm between leaving behind your normal and familiar life while you journey toward a destination where old rules fade and new truths can form. Letting go. When you step out on pilgrimage, literally or figuratively, you leave home, walk away from your safe, known world and leave your daily routines behind. You have no fixed identity anymore. Your regular job, status, and titles do not matter on the path. While you walk the open road you exist in a temporary space where you only focus on the next step forward. Transformation. What happens on pilgrimage? You face the unknown. Every day brings new faces, unexpected weather, and physical fatigue. You shed old weight. The long walk strips away your worries and busy thoughts. You hum with anticipated change. Just like being in a doorway, you are taking the next step to become someone new by the end. It's called transformation What you can expect with Quarter Moon Story Arts. Coming home. A chance to write a new story in a voice and words that are fully and finally your very own. Home Page Support. 30+ years of experienced storytelling guidance as you navigate your midlife pilgrimage story to who you want to become. About Storytelling Doula. Not a coach but a collaborator and witness to your journey who knows what it feels like when the road ahead opens up and how to get there. Meet Diane Skills and Solutions. Community and individual opportunities to discover Who Am I? and Who Will I Become? What I Offer Start here ---> 30-minute Discovery Call. I'm inviting you to discover the treasure trove that is your story as you navigate your midlife pilgrimage. Contact Diane And thank you for listening!

How a Monthly Calendar Audit Improves Productivity When was the last time you looked back at your calendar and asked whether all those meetings, commitments and hours were actually a good use of your time? In this episode of the Accounting Apps Podcast, I unpack the monthly calendar audit I use to understand where my time has gone, identify follow-ups that may have slipped through the cracks, and question activities that perhaps should not be there at all. My process combines Google Workspace, Google Calendar, Google Apps Script and Google Sheets to turn a month of calendar activity into something I can review line by line. Colour coding and categorisation help me separate personal activities, non-billable administration, speaking engagements, podcasting, writing, CPD and other commitments. The audit is not simply about productivity. It gives me distance from my calendar so I can consider my energy levels, protect productive hours, manage meetings more deliberately and ask whether the technology supporting my workflow still makes sense. Key Takeaways Audit where your time actually goes. Reviewing your calendar at the end of each month can highlight low-value commitments, non-billable work and meetings that took significant time without delivering meaningful outcomes. Use calendar colour coding and categorisation. Google Calendar categories make it easier to group activities and understand the balance between personal time, client work, administration, CPD, speaking, writing and other commitments. Protect your productive hours and energy. A calendar audit can reveal patterns around when you do your best thinking, whether meetings are consuming those productive periods, and whether late-night international commitments require additional buffer time. Use the audit as a second check for follow-ups. Looking back over meetings can prompt forgotten action points, unanswered requests, CPD that needs recording, projects that need finalising or conversations that require another follow-up. Audit the technology as well as the calendar. Calendly offers useful functionality such as meeting buffers and automated emails, but Google also provides appointment scheduling. Reviewing overlapping technology can identify opportunities to simplify workflows and reduce subscriptions. A calendar audit takes time. Mine can take two or three hours, but that is partly because I use the process to stop, think and review what happened during the month. It gives me an opportunity to ask some useful questions. Why did I take that meeting? Did anything come from it? Should it have been an hour, or would 15 minutes have been enough? Am I protecting my capacity and bandwidth? Is my calendar supporting the way I want to work? The goal is not to create the perfect calendar. It is to become more deliberate about where time and energy are going, recognise what is working, and make better-informed choices about what deserves space in the calendar next month.

What if the reason it's so hard to let go of your stuff isn't that you're disorganized—but that you're a really good storyteller? In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp brings together three of her great loves—decluttering, writing, and her longtime friend Susy Flory—for a conversation about the one skill most cluttery people are missing. Kathi's theory? People with clutter aren't bad at storytelling. Pick up almost anything in a cluttered home and the owner can tell you exactly where it came from, who gave it to them, and why it matters. The struggle isn't the story. It's the editing. Susy Flory is a memoirist, collaborator on two New York Times bestsellers, and the founder of Shake Ridge Press, a publishing house devoted to true stories by real people. Her actual job is deciding what stays in the story and what gets cut—which turns out to be exactly what listeners need to learn to do in their homes. Your Home Is Telling a Story. Is It the One You Want to Tell? Kathi and Susy talk about how a home—like a book—can get so crowded with "good stuff" that the reader (or the guest, or you) can't find the heart of it. As Susy puts it, when there's too much in a space, "it's just a pile rather than a storyteller." The goal isn't an empty house. The goal is a home where the things you kept can actually be seen. In This Episode, Listeners Will Learn: Why the object isn't always where the story lives—and how that realization makes letting go so much easier The simple, low-tech tool Susy uses to decide what makes the cut (hint: it involves a pen and paper, not a system) How to handle the inherited things that don't actually tell the story of the person who gave them to you What to do with that mishmash box of photos, letters, and journals someone left behind Why "edit one scene at a time" translates perfectly to "one shelf, one drawer at a time" How to "shop your own house" for meaningful pieces instead of buying something a thousand other people already own Kathi's seasonal rotation trick that keeps sentimental items special instead of letting them fade into background clutter Why outside validation—a safe community—matters just as much in decluttering as it does in writing Permission to Let the Good Stuff Go Writers have a phrase for this: murder your darlings. Sometimes you have to release even the really, really good stuff to get what you actually want. Kathi shares that after years of editing both books and her own home, she rarely regrets what she's let go—and Susy explains why imagination, not willpower, is the tool that finally gets you unstuck. Kathi also gets a preview of the first three memoirs coming out of Shake Ridge Press—stories of a Green Beret who decluttered parts of himself to learn to lead with love, a mom and her autistic adult son on a journey to bring his father home, and a preacher's daughter raising the rule-breaking boy who grew up to become a beloved professional wrestler. Whether you consider yourself a writer or not, this episode offers a fresh, gracious way to look at the stuff in your home: not as a moral failing, but as a first draft. And every first draft gets to be edited.

Sooooo ... the best way to think of this episode is a bit like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. But instead of there being a bereaved scientist obsessed with resurrection, we have a monster of a story stuck together from different audio body parts made by audio makers from all over the world. Our Programming and Community Coordinator Catarina Fraga Matos breaks down the way the audio corpse works:  Here's how the audio corpse works. Storytellers received a prompt to create a short audio story up to three minutes long. But here's the catch. The prompt they receive, it's only the last 10 seconds of the story that came before. So they take that tiny fragment and use it as an inspiration for an entirely new piece that has to be made in 48 hours, and that continues the story in some way. Special shout-out to M.Cristina Marras for kicking off this idea for All The Best and to our amazing All The Best Intern Nili Javid for stitching all the audio corpses together. Head Produced by M.

In “Prayer Press,” we explore Jesus' teaching on persistent prayer and what happens when we refuse to give up. Fervent prayer not only invites us to trust God for the outcome—it presses out pride and builds humility, patience, trust, and contentment in us.

A lot can change in just a couple short years….your dreams may be just around the corner! These changes, whether they are good or bad, can happen in a blink of an eye. It may seem like every day is the same, but when you look back, everything is different from how it used to be, and you are different from who you used to be.  Change offers new opportunities and experiences. It keeps life exciting and ensures that bad situations don't last. It helps you move on, stay focused, and helps shape you.  After all, progress is impossible without change. Today, I am flying solo to share my realization after reading a book called “The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music” by Dave Grohl, where he shared behind-the-scene stories of his musical life as a singer, guitarist, songwriter, drummer, and record producer. In this episode, I will discuss why it matters to seek and embrace change. I will also reveal what motivated me to step down from my position as a CEO after building a company from zero to a nine-figure organization and what has changed since then.  Topics include: Dave Grohl's book The Storyteller and the realization I got from it I look back at where I was three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen, and even twenty-one years ago and how different each three-year period was from the next. Why I decided to quit my nine-figure company The inevitability of change How to thrive when dealing with change The importance of reflecting on your life and career And other topics… Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Thegreatnessmachine  Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Write a review for The Greatness Machine using this link: https://ratethispodcast.com/spreadinggreatness. 

Hello to you listening from wherever your feet touch the ground! They say that when Marco Polo returned from his decades of travels through Asia along the Silk Roads, he had gems sewn in his cloak to prove the fantastical nature of his stories. Pilgrims who walked the Camino de Santiago brought back scallop shells they picked up on the beaches of Finisterre, Spain to prove that they had walked to the end of the earth. On the Camino the symbol of the scallop shell is used as a way marker. Like many Camino pilgrims I affixed a large scallop shell to my backpack as a reminder to keep me going until I reached Finisterre. What did we bring home from our journeys? Where might we find the fantastical, the unexpected gift in our stories? What was the agent of change? How were we transformed? And does any of it matter to someone else? I say, “Yes, it does and in ways we cannot calculate.” “It's strange to think that there might be things we know that people who live one hundred years from now would like to know. We forget to say them.” [William Stafford] Whether we sew gems in our cloaks or tie scallop shells to our backpacks as proof of our walk, we also have the stories, the hidden treasures, the currency of hard travel and quiet transformation. Does transformation arrive for us as we walk? Some might experience that on the Way. Others experience their inner map evolving in the days and weeks and even years later. Regardless of when change occurs, this much I know is true: The stories we bring back from our literal and figurative journeys are the gift of grace that we earned as we journeyed through our fears, doubts, and failures to finally arrive Here from There. Story Prompt: What insight, glimpse of wisdom, shiver of compassion, or wee bit of knowledge have you earned as you walk the story of your life? Write that story and share it out loud.YOU'RE INVITED: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, subscribe & spread this episode with a generous 5-star review & comment on APPLE Podcasts —it helps us all—& join us next time!

Hello to you listening from wherever your feet touch the ground. I am thrilled to announce that Quarter Moon Story Arts is live to the world with a new website designed by women for women to know themselves and each other through their stories. But not just any story. This is the space for women who are curious about how to discover and navigate their midlife pilgrimage stories so that they don't go unrecorded. One who knew the radical power of discovering and revealing your personal narrative was Gloria Steinem. She left behind her final unedited public thoughts about the vital role of women sharing their stories, as follows: “Hello, all you unique individuals out there. I'm so glad to be meeting you through the magic of the media. I wish I could meet each one of you in person, but in a way, this is what allows us now to see each other's lives, to influence each other's lives, to respect each other — and to, therefore, perpetuate what we hope is a global democracy. “Please feel free to respond in any way you can, and please tell your own story. This is the most important thing we can do for each other—to know each other through stories. And I hope so much that whoever you are, listening right now, you are able to do what you love—[and] to be, also, the unique person you are.” Midlife as sacred. How might you get to that place of what awaits you as the unique woman you are? By exploring your midlife transition as if you are on pilgrimage. Midlife is a sacred space of transition. A pilgrimage mirrors the sacred realm between leaving behind your normal and familiar life while you journey toward a destination where old rules fade and new truths can form. Letting go. When you step out on pilgrimage, literally or figuratively, you leave home, walk away from your safe, known world and leave your daily routines behind. You have no fixed identity anymore. Your regular job, status, and titles do not matter on the path. While you walk the open road you exist in a temporary space where you only focus on the next step forward. Transformation. What happens on pilgrimage? You face the unknown. Every day brings new faces, unexpected weather, and physical fatigue. You shed old weight. The long walk strips away your worries and busy thoughts. You hum with anticipated change. Just like being in a doorway, you are taking the next step to become someone new by the end. It's called transformation What you can expect with Quarter Moon Story Arts. Coming home. A chance to write a new story in a voice and words that are fully and finally your very own.

This week's entry into the annals of Munchstory—SVU, S21E5, “At Midnight In Manhattan”—sent Adam and Josh caroming between three different stories in a rare exercise in single-weekend, multi-case, mom-card trumping storytelling, heavily featuring Carisi and Kat learning the ropes on their respective new jobs. Along the way, they decry the misidentification of doors, lament casting miscues, weigh the virtues of manners in new environs, and work their way through the indignity of seeing a slew of rich men's knees. So come for the shoe-shaming, and stay for the nap chat whilst getting your Munch on.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Summer S, Matt, Elyse R, Julia K, Los C, Katrina S, Bryan C, and Shannon H - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

The World of Eora is a news & lore podcast about the fantasy setting created by Obsidian Entertainment for their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their action RPG: Avowed.This week's episode I dive into the stories of two more small characters, lost in the grander story of the world at large.

But, let me know what you think.Topics include: Kawili the Storyteller, and her connection to the Kingdom of Rauatai (the place I would love the next game to be set in).

Say it ain't so, Seven!In yet another episode of SVU that casts aspersions on the non-NYC parts of the country, Warren Leight decides to sully the reputation of Matt Saracen by making him a stepfather who has been raping his stepdaughter, who wants to flush out their rape-baby. Given that she's from Ohio which had just passed a fetal heartbeat abortion bill, this means we've got ourselves a polemic episode where backwards Buckeye State laws butt heads with the Big Apple, something that SVU rarely does well.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Summer S, Matt, Elyse R, Julia K, Los C, Katrina S, Bryan C, and Shannon H - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

Hello to you listening from wherever your feet touch the ground! Walking through John Wayne Airport I saw a man wearing a tee shirt with these words: “Many things in life will catch your eye but only a few will catch your heart. Follow those.” He was gone before I could ask him: What's the story behind your tee shirt? How did you come to have it? What things in life have caught your eye? What caught your heart? And when you followed those what happened next? Today more than ever women need the stories that catch their heart. The storytelling tradition is alive in you. Each time you share a story, you've grown. You understand what's changed. You see yourself differently. As a woman navigating a professional world that doesn't always invite your full story, you may have learned to edit yourself—to show up with credentials and minimize the rest. But your personal narrative is your most powerful asset. It connects, persuades, inspires, leads, and heals. You don't have to wait for permission to tell your story. This is your invitation to discover the stories shaping your life, and to unlock the full power and energy of your voice. Because when women tell their stories, they don't just change the room. They change what's possible. Story Prompt: Your voice is ready. What will you say? Write that story and share it out loud! Meanwhile, I'm building a community of storytelling by women for women focusing on navigating our midlife pilgrimage story. I'm hosting in-person courses on Whidbey Island while developing on-line courses and a special gathering through my Substack account.
