One of the stranger stories to come out of the 2024 presidential elections is the story of Peanut the squirrel and Dave the raccoon. In case you haven't heard here's the short version: in upstate New York, early one morning, the government sent agents to the house of Mark Longo, a man who ran a non-profit animal shelter. Mark also had a popular Instagram account featuring a squirrel named Peanut that he had rescued seven years before and kept at his home. According to the man, the Department of Environmental Conservation raided his home with ten to twelve agents. They searched the home for five hours while they detained him. Finally, they took Peanut and a raccoon. They said that Peanut bit an officer, so they killed them both.While this story is very strange, it apparently struck a nerve with many people with support for either Mark and Peanut or the government fracturing along partisan lines. In this episode we want to look at the ways these issues reveal different details about American culture, politics, and the influence of the church.

On Father's Day Weekend, Professor Byron Klaus shares a poignant story of Eli, a biblical father whose sons were scoundrels with no regard for the Lord. Despite failing as a father, Eli taught young Samuel how to listen to the voice of God. Eli became the bridge to Samuel's destiny as mentor to King David, Israel's greatest king. The word “father” may evoke pain for some, but a person's true identity is only defined by God.

Many of us feel powerless with the rise of corporate medicine. Our guest today decided to take her power back and reject this concept. She seemed like the least likely person to do so, given that she is a single mother by choice and without a ton of resources. She decided that practicing medicine on her terms was more important than the financial promises these large companies are selling. Aligning her career with her values made the most sense to her. Embarking on this new path, she discovered that she did not need the guarantees that were offered. She is able to secure her own future. Key Takeaways Discover how Dr. Ritha Belizaire's journey can inspire and motivate your own career in medicine. Learn effective strategies for balancing personal and professional life as a physician. Uncover the power of overcoming perfectionism and embracing growth in your medical career. Explore ways to empower single mothers in the field of medicine and create a supportive community. Unlock the potential of entrepreneurship in medicine and how it can transform your career. My special guest today is Dr. Ritha Belizaire. Dr. Ritha Belizaire is a dual board certified general and colorectal surgeon in Houston, Texas and is passionate about providing accessible, inclusive surgical care. After several years of employment, she made her departure from academics, fueled by burnout and a sense of devaluation within the system. She opened her own practice, Houston Community Surgical, in July 2023. In the transition from academics to self employment, she has borne witness to the epidemic of physician burnout, depression and anxiety caused by increasing demands on physicians to make money for their institutions while having less and less personal and professional autonomy and leading to a mass exodus of physicians from the medical profession. Concerned for the future of fellow physicians and of healthcare in America, Dr. Belizaire shares insights into her transformative journey of reclaiming control over her professional and personal life. She hopes that her story of challenging the status quo can offer some hope for physicians seeking a path to fulfillment in their medical careers.

Along with much of the European research community, we're slowly warming up for what FP10 - the next European research framework programme - will look like. Our primary concern, not surprisingly, is what role diversity and internationalisation play. A main consideration, of course, is what is politically feasible, and without naming names - well, we are - some European countries have more conservative views on diversity than we do. So, we decided to look at history and invited historian Kamil Karczweski on the podcast. He has researched LGBTQ+ rights in Poland in the interwar period, and his research showed us that the story is more complicated than you might think. He explains that at the time, Poland was in some ways very progressive by decriminalising homosexuality, one of the first countries in Europe to do so.  We talk about homonationalism, what it means and what it might suggest for diversity and internationalisation as FP10 is developed. We also discuss some of the political differences within LGTBQ+ movements - and then we speculate what all of this means when shaping, negotiating and voting on the next European research framework programme. Kamil's research beautifully links personal stories to tell a political story of the past and today. We had him tell us a few details of his work on the podcast. Links to the articles can be found below.  You can find Kamil here:University profileTwitterThe three articles mentioned in the episode can be found here:“Call Me by My Name:” A “Strange and Incomprehensible” Passion in the Polish Kresy of the 1920sTransnational Flows of Knowledge and the Legalisation of Homosexuality in Interwar Poland“For a Pole, It all was a Great Abomination”: Grassroots Homonationalism and State Homophobia à la Polonaise—A History Lesson from a Place Between East and WestThanks for listening.

Welcome to the motherkind podcast, which is going to help you feel more confident and less alone in the wild roller coaster that is modern motherhood.  My guest this week is Georgie Crawford. Georgie was just at the end of her maternity leave when she first discovered a lump in her breast and what followed was a roller coaster journey of self-discovery. Georgie says that for the first time in her life, she learned how to value herself and her needs.  Thankfully she fully recovered and is now about to become a mother again post-cancer, this time with a surrogate.  Listen to learn: The mindset shift that helped Georgie finally learn to accept and ask for help How her garden trees made her realise she was wrong about herself  How to ask yourself 'Am I on the dancefloor or the balcony' of life  How to finally stop beating yourself up and notice all that is good in your life  I really loved this episode and loved chatting to Georgie, she gave me SO much perspective and plugged me right back into what is really important in life.

As the system enters its eighth year of operation, Damian Mason interviews Kelly about the insights he has gained into soil, fertility, and intensive farm management from using the subsurface drip system. These lessons are applicable to all farmers, regardless of whether they utilize irrigation. Kurt Grimm from NutraDrip also joins the discussion. Presented by AgXplore

In this episode, Spencer Nix challenges the new cultural expectation of dealing with anxiety. Popular activities such as breathwork, cold exposure, and meditation all have scientific research backing their benefits. But what if adding 1 more thing to our already busy schedules in hopes to lighten the load just made it worse? What if the key to handling our Anxiety was as simple as taking 1 deep breath? What can we learn from a 2-year-old who just had a birthday party? Everyone deals with Anxiety as It is an essential part of life. The difference is how we deal with it. In this episode, we identify what Anxiety is, how to manage it, and most importantly ways to deal with it without having to jump into a cold bucket of water! If you are someone who struggles with managing anxiety and stress this podcast is for you! Enjoy!

Ana Munoz is back to talk about her life since our previous session, which took place a year ago.  Ana shares her experience of moving from New Jersey to Orlando, Florida and adjusting to life in Florida. We discuss various topics such as motherhood, communication, and Ana's career path.  In this episode, Ana emphasizes the importance of mindful communication and shares her experience with hypnosis coaching sessions. We also discuss the deeper purpose behind our desires and goals, with Ana encouraging people to face their fears and embrace their unique qualities.  After a decade of supporting moms through their childbearing years with massage therapy and doula work, Ana recognized that her clients recurring physical ailments were connected to how they were processing their thoughts and emotions around pregnancy and motherhood. This led her to pivot her approach towards supporting women through all stages of their childbearing years by learning the language of the unconscious mind through hypnosis. She now supports moms by using various hypnotherapy tools to help moms let go of emotions and thoughts that keep them feeling stuck, and open them up to the possibility of thriving in motherhood. Ana lives in Orlando with her husband and daughter and can be often found exploring her beautiful new city. She now offers virtual hypnosis sessions.

When I started this podcast almost six years ago, I could not have predicted where the show would be today or how far we have come. And here we are, celebrating 300 episodes! You have been a significant part of my evolution by listening to the podcast, and I am grateful for your support.   I share how I have evolved over the 300 episodes of this podcast and why fatphobia no longer lives rent-free in my brain. Initially, I thought this show was going to be about helping plus-size women start running, but the more I have shown up, the more it has become a voice for fat women who resist the belief that being fat is bad. I am excited to see what the next 300 episodes hold for us.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://notyouraveragerunner.com/300

Imagine coming home to a clean house. There aren't fifteen pairs of shoes next to the door. As you walk into the kitchen, the counters are clear and wiped down. You peek into the living room. The blankets are all folded. You didn't step on a single toy. Bliss.  In this episode, Danielle discusses how home organization has always been harder for her than organizing work tasks or time. Did you know that the principles of home organization can also be applied to effective planning? After working hard to teach herself about home organization, Danielle got so excited when she could make connections between the principles of home organization and the principles of planning. In this episode, Danielle shares 3 lessons home organization taught her about effective planning: decluttter first, zones, and the container concept.  Need help with your spring cleaning?

Today I talked to Ayelet Fishbach about her book Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation (Little, Brown Spark, 2022) The key to motivating yourself is to change your circumstances. You can do so by the goals you set, how you accept feedback in pursuing them, the flexibility you show in making progress, and how well you leverage social support. Each of those four aspects has its own pitfalls, and today's interview explores in depth a number of challenges. To harness the value of intrinsic motivation, can you stay attuned to the values and benefits that matter to you most? Likewise, can you demonstrate patience—not giving in to temptation or ceasing to engage because you don't trust that the benefits you count on will actually be there at the end of the journey? Dr. Fishbach offers insights on all of these issues, and more, in a manner that recognizes the vulnerabilities people contend with daily. Dr. Ayelet Fishbach is an award-winning psychologist at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and the past president of the Society for the Science of Motivation. Her scientific findings are regularly featured in the media, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and NPR. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc. (https://www.sensorylogic.com). His latest two books are Blah Blah Blah: A Snarky Guide to Office Lingo and Emotionomics 2.0: The Emotional Dynamics Underlying Key Business Goals. Learn more about your ad choices.
