Lasting change begins when you decide that your well-being matters enough to prioritize. Kiona Sinks returns to share how the Shift Experience didn't just influence her habits—it completely reframed her relationship with herself. From vitamin routines to food choices, energy levels to emotional presence, she's living proof that when you start showing up with intention, everything changes. Her journey reminds us that healing isn't just physical—it's mental, spiritual, and emotional—and when those parts align, you unlock a version of yourself that's not only healthier, but more powerful than you imagined. Key Takeaways: Intentional living creates a ripple effect—when you prioritize small daily choices, everything from energy to clarity improves. Healing is holistic; physical health, mental focus, emotional regulation, and spiritual peace all work together. Creating consistent habits doesn't require perfection—just progress, grace, and awareness of what your body is telling you. Knowing yourself is key to showing up fully in your relationships, work, and purpose-driven life. Investing in your health now prevents burnout later and opens the door to greater impact and alignment.

Juliana is involved in soccer, the National Honors Society, and Student Ambassadors, and is a freshman retreat leader. She also participates as a Friends of Charlestown State Park volunteer, CCSA Soccer Camp, PHS Soccer Camp, and NHS tutoring/activities.

Mike Ferguson in the Morning 10-23-24 (8:05am) We discuss acceptable and unacceptable Halloween costumes. We delve into a new YouGov survey that asked Americans about their Halloween costumes and whether they find certain costumes — such as a costume with a realistic gun or other weapon, or a cultural costume worn by someone who is not of that culture — to be acceptable or unacceptable. Among other findings, the data shows Halloween is for the young. Adults under 45 are far more likely than older Americans to say they plan to dress up for the holiday. The poll, conducted October 11-14, found that 27% of Americans had plans to dress up for Halloween, including 10% who already have a costume picked out, and 17% who haven't picked their costume out yet but they do plan to wear one. Adults under 45 are far more likely than older Americans to say they plan to dress up for Halloween this year (48% vs. 11%).

Spotlight on the Student Leadership Council and Student Ambassadors organizations

EPISODE 376 - Ryan Estrada - Artist, Author and Adventurer - Garfield, Cartoons, Movies and MoreStudent Ambassador is my series of fun globe-trotting adventure stories for kids who want to see the world and make it a better place. Each story is inspired by my own travels, but turned into an action-adventure comedy! Readers can solve the mystery along with the character using real fun facts about the world. The Missing Dragon covers a kidnapping in Korea and Japan, while The Silver City is a monster mystery in the mines of Mexico. Both feature amazing art by the great Axur Eneas!Ryan Estrada is an artist, author, and adventurer. His books include Banned Book Club, Occulted, No Rules Tonight, and the Student Ambassador series. He has worked for Star Trek, Popeye, Flash Gordon, and Garfield.He was a gator wrangler in America, an ambassador to Australia, an undocumented animator in Canada, a ghostbuster in South Korea, a Bollywood voiceover actor in India, wandered Kim Jong Il's secret tunnels to North Korea, slept on a bench in a typhoon in Japan, dug toilets in Thailand, did an accidental illegal border crossing into Burma, made road comics in Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Vietnam and The Philippines, documentaries in Colombia and Ecuador, and podcasts in Malaysia, ran with the bulls in Mexico, barely escaped being eaten by lions in Kenya, fainted atop Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, got caught in a Peruvian coca war, lived in a Costa Rican rainforest and a Panamanian volcano.RANDOM FACTS-Ryan started pitching comics to newspapers when he was six. He bothered the same newspaper until they finally hired him at age sixteen.-Ryan accidentally invented the word normcore. It was a punchline to one of his comics before Oxford English Dictionary named it runner up word of the year.-Ryan holds the world record for consecutive comic making after attempting and surpassing the 168 hour comic; one page per hour for a full week.-Ryan ran @forexposure_txt, the popular artists rights novelty twitter account, for ten years-Ryan was once interviewed by the BBC about a prank he pulled on Vladimir Putin. He'd been the official cartoonist of LiveJournal before Putin had the company bought out so he could move the servers in Russia and use them to shut down activists. He forgot that Ryan still had the legal and technological ability to make comics about their mascot speaking out against this and post them to the official site.-Ryan does free virtual workshops and author visits for any school, library or book club that asks! Here is a listing of some of his workshops. Drop him a line to set something up!https://www.ryanestrada.com/Send us a Text Message.Support the Show.___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/

The newest guest on the Citywide Bytes live show has worked on award-winning titles such as “Banned Book Club,” “Occulted,” and is here to talk about two great new titles. Ryan Estrada joins me to dive into “The Silver City,” the second part in the “Student Ambassador” series, which features a new adventure with main character Joseph Bazan. We talk about Joseph and how he came to be as well as how he fares in the newest mystery. This comic is based on a very real place and Ryan goes into how he world-built the newest comic. For “No Rules Tonight,” Ryan worked once again with his wife Kim Hyun Sook on this very real look at South Korea in the 1980s. We talk about what the country was like in this time period and how this influenced the story. Ryan shares the collaboration process with his wife and how this continues the story found in “Banned Book Club.”

On Episode 244 I sit down with Mark Wilbourne. Mark is currently at CU for a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Applied Math and a certificate in Engineering Leadership. He really enjoys engineering and analytical thinking and also working with people so he is looking into careers that combine the two. Mark would love to be a systems engineer/project manager or anything that takes more of a global approach to tough problems working in the field of engineering. At school, he is a Student Ambassador which is where he found his passion for people. Mark got into CrossFit through the influence of his parents and being connected to Kevin Ogar while he was in spinal cord rehab in Denver. His Dad started CrossFit in Afghanistan when Mark was in middle school and both of his parents have been doing it since. Mark always made fun of CrossFit and was more into endurance sports but Kevin showed him early CrossFit and all that it has to offer early on in his injury and he enjoyed how he didn't have to think and just show up each day and know the coaches would make him better. Athletically, Mark would like to return to endurance sports later on once he gets enough strength and settles into more of a home. I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed this conversation today. Mark is someone who I have gotten to know better during his time at CrossFit Roots. During this conversation, we talked about a wide range of topics including The tunnels underneath Vegas, Elon Musk and aerospace engineering, Mark's dive into Cross Country, Track and Field, and Endurance sports, His accident, and getting into CrossFit. I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope that you all enjoy it as much as I did!

For Columbus Education Association member Tara Johnson, education was certainly in her blood, but it wasn't her first career choice. For this final installment in the A Legacy of Education series, Tara Johnson, and her mom Terry Johnson, a retired Columbus teacher, sat down to share their thoughts on how the profession has changed, the need to create better pipelines to get educators of color into the profession, and why they would recommend this career to others.

She received her Masters of Education from Xavier University in Cincinnati in 1972. She taught for Dayton Public Schools, Buffalo Public Schools and then moved to Columbus in 1969. She taught for 32 years as an elementary school teacher and a reading teacher. Terry Johnson always enjoyed working with elementary students, especially in Language Arts. Tara Johnson, Columbus Education Association member Tara is a product of Columbus City Schools. She graduated from Mifflin High School. She is the daughter of Terry Wiggs Johnson and Theodore W. Johnson who both graduated from Central State University in the late 60's. Both are also retired Columbus City School teachers. Coming from a household of educators, who graduated from Central State University, she followed in their footsteps and graduated from Central State University, but refused to go into education. She pursued a degree in Finance, instead. While at Central State she was very active. She was a member of the Finance and Investment Society, College of Business Student Advisory Council, Tour Guide, Resident Assistant, and a Student Ambassador. She worked for the Vice President for Finance as a student worker. She also continued to volunteer at Main Street Elementary School in Columbus when she came home during breaks.   After graduation, Tara began to work at Central State in the finance department. She volunteered with the Student Affairs area and worked very closely with the Alumni Affairs office. After leaving Central State University, she went on to two other universities, Kent State University and Virginia Union University, to work.  She decided it was time to get a master's degree, so she enrolled in Eastern Michigan, where she completed a Master's Program in Individualized Studies in Higher Education Administration and Finance. Upon graduating from Eastern Michigan, she decided to continue to pursue her career in Higher Education and worked at Virginia Community College Systems and Wright State University. While at Wright State University, she began to look for something different. Tara had done some volunteer work in her aunt's classroom and some substitute teaching for Columbus City Schools while getting her master's degree, so she decided to teach at the K-12 level. Tara went back to Central State University to get her licensure to teach in Social Studies at the high school level, saying she felt like high school students were closer to the college students she was used to working with for the past 20 years. Due to Covid, it took her longer than I had expected, but she completed my licensure program in Spring of 2021.  Tara began teaching at Eastmoor Academy High School in the Fall of 2021. She is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and a life member of Central State University Alumni Association.  SUBSCRIBE | Click here to subscribe to Education Matters on Apple Podcasts or click here to subscribe on Google podcasts so you don't miss a thing.

After graduating, she was a researcher in a pancreatic cancer clinical trial under Dr. Vinod Balachandran at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. When the pandemic hit, Rebecca was inspired to enter public health after being moved by the disparities emphasized by COVID-19 treatment. Currently, Rebecca is a researcher in the NIH “All of Us” project under Dr. Farzana Kapadia in understanding cancer disparities over time. In this initiative, Rebecca quantitatively isolates racial disparities in access to cancer screening which can, in turn, be used to provide information to develop interventions that promote timely cancer screening, testing and treatment.

Dr. Jackson was appointed president of his alma mater in March of 2019, after serving as interim president beginning in August 2018. He graduated from Murray State in 1985 with a bachelor's degree in finance. He has since gone on to complete graduate courses at Murray State and doctoral courses at the University of Leicester (UK). He holds a Master of Arts degree in higher education administration for Antioch University and a doctorate in educational leadership from Western Kentucky University.  His wife and first lady, Mrs. Karen Miller Jackson, graduated from Murray State in 1984 with a degree in nursing. During the episode one of the Racer Alumni Podcast, released July 1, 2022, Dr. Jackson talks about upbringing with five siblings in Magnolia, Kentucky, why he chose Murray State for his college experience and his time as a young Racer beginning in the fall of 1981. He began his foray into leadership as a student, serving as a Student Ambassador, on student government and as president of his fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha. As an alumnus of the University he leads, Dr. Jackson said the expectations he places upon himself, and to some extent the expectations that others place on him, are colored through a blue and gold lens. His professional experiences working in state government, in corporate finance and as a member of the faculty and staff at Murray State have positioned him with a unique set of skills and perspective that have tremendous impact on his daily walk and decision-making as president. The relationships and friendships that Dr. Jackson has built and fostered over many years also create a unique level of access to the president's office for alumni who have essentially grown up professionally alongside him. You will also have the opportunity to hear first-hand what it has been like for Dr. Jackson to navigate our collective alma mater through one of the scariest and most difficult periods in our history and one of the most exciting milestones of our history, a global pandemic and our centennial celebration, in just the span of 2-3 years. A well-documented history buff and not one to dwell on the negative, Dr. Jackson has made it a priority to spend our 100th year in appreciation of those who first imagined what is now Murray State University, those who fought to turn that dream into a reality for this small spec of land in far western Kentucky and those who have led the institution through incredible challenges, exciting breakthroughs and tremendous global change to become the world-class regional public University we are today. That 100-year history has been laid out into a pictorial coffee table book which Dr. Jackson co-authored along with members of our University Libraries faculty, Dr. Jeff McLaughlin and Sarah Marie Owens. The Finest Place We Know: A Centennial History of Murray State University, 1922-2022 is currently available for presale at murraystate.edu/centennial. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and pick-up this fall. So, what is next for Murray State as we head into our next 100 years? Dr. Jackson lays out the “great transformation” that is currently underway on our campus and the things he sees as priorities moving forward into the next 10-20 years.

At 9-atoms, dimethyl ether is considered a precursor of larger organic molecules that can lead to the emergence of life. Tonight we are pleased to air Fraser's prerecorded interview with two members of the team that detected the molecule, Nashanty Brunken and Dr. Alice Booth, who will tell us more about this amazing detection.   Nashanty Brunken is an Astronomy Masters student at Leiden University with experience in Astrochemistry research. She is a writer at Leiden Science Magazine and De Universum. Previously, Nashanty was an astronomy Student Ambassador with experience in Public Relations and Communications.   Dr. Alice Booth is an Astrochemistry PostDoc at Leiden Observatory. She earned her PhD from the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leeds, and her BS in Physics from the University of Aberdeen, her hometown, in 2016. She is interested in the formation, composition and detection of exoplanets, and her current research centers around the structure and composition of protoplanetary disks. In addition to her research, Alice is passionate about science communication, has been involved with the organization Pint of Science for a number of years, and coordinated Leeds Pint of Science 2019.   Be sure to follow Nashanty on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nashanty-...).
