Podcasts about Tension

Your paintings might not be boring because you lack skill. They might be boring because you're overworking them.  In this episode, Jodie dives into a totally different way of thinking about composition. This isn't another lesson about the rule of thirds or focal points. This is about what happens when artists become so focused on balance, beauty, and "doing it right" that they accidentally suck the life out of their work.  You'll learn why: Over-resolving your paintings can make them less memorable Tension and imbalance often create stronger compositions The weird, risky decisions are usually the magic This episode is packed with practical questions you can ask yourself while painting so you can stop making safe art and start making Honest Art® that actually says something.  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

(3) Josiah Osgood introduces Pompey the Great, whose return from the East sparked tension as Cato blocked his arrangements while Caesar initially supported him. The Bona Dea scandal further inflamed the rivalry; Clodius crashed a female-only rite at Caesar's home. Cato pushed for a trial to embarrass Caesar, who famously divorced his wife Pompeia, claiming she must be "above suspicion." Amidst this, family ties intersected: Caesar's mistress was Cato's half-sister, Servilia. These personal and political clashes, including jury bribery and shifting alliances, underscored a system where families manipulated connections across generations.

In this episode, Elena Armijo welcomes Hillary Hittner, executive coach, mediator, and close collaborator at The C-Suite Collective, for a rich conversation on conflict, creativity, and the human work of staying present when tension enters the room. With a background in theater, DEI, inclusive leadership, and mediation, Hillary brings a deeply attuned lens to what conflict reveals beneath the surface. Check out Elena's website to learn more about how she can support you in seeing and using the power that resides within you. Elena opens with a coaching reflection on the conflict leaders keep avoiding and what it may be trying to reveal. She reframes conflict as data rather than a verdict, inviting leaders to notice tension as a signal instead of proof that something has gone wrong. She also names the cost of performative alignment, the quiet danger of absence in hard conversations, and the importance of creating space between activation and response. Hillary shares how her early work in theater shaped her ability to listen creatively and notice the emotional architecture of a room. She describes conflict as a tool, a marker, and a flag that helps leaders identify what needs attention. Drawing from her mediation practice, she offers practical ways to slow down, including naming the shared landscape, identifying feelings and needs, and making clear requests. The conversation moves into how conflict avoidance shows up in teams, from false agreement to silence, peacekeeping, and agitation. Hillary and Elena reflect on the possibility of using tension as a source of growth, trust, and belonging, not only inside organizations, but in families, communities, and daily life. This conversation is an invitation to stop smoothing over tension and begin listening to it with curiosity, dignity, and care.   Let's Get Social!  Want to hear more from Elena? Click here!

Energy’s brightest innovators. This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Pete Andrews: Pete, welcome to the program. Good to be back. Yeah. See you face to face. Yeah. Yes. This is wonderful. It’s a really great event to catch it with loads of the. UK innovation that are happening in the supply chain. So it’s, yeah, really nice to be here.  Allen Hall: This is really good to meet in person because we have seen a lot of bolt issues in the us, Canada, Australia, yeah. Uh, all around the world and every time bolt problems come up, I say, have you called Pete Andrews and Echo Bolt and gotten the kit to detect bolt issues? And then who’s Pete? Give me Pete’s phone number. Okay, sure. Uh, but now that we’re here in person, a lot has changed since we first talked to you probably two years ago.[00:01:00] You’re a bootstrap company based in the UK that has global presence, and I, I think it’s a good start to explain what the technology is and why Echo Bolt matters so much in today’s world.  Pete Andrews: Yeah, absolutely. So, um, as you said, we’re a uk, um, SME, there’s a team of 13 of us based here in the uk. Yeah. But we do deliver our services internationally, but really focused on Northern Europe. Yeah. But increasingly we’ve done more in the US and North America, a little bit in Canada. Um, but our big offering really is to help wind turbine operators and owners reduce the need to routinely retire in bulks. So we have a quick and simple inspection technology that people can deploy, find out the status of their bolt connections, and then. Reti them if necessary, but the vast majority of the time we find that they’re static and absolutely fine and can be left [00:02:00] alone. So it’s a real big efficiency boost for wind operators.  Joel Saxum: Well, you’re doing things by prescription now, right? Instead of just blanket cover, we’re gonna do all of this. It’s like, let’s work on the ones that actually need to be worked on. Let’s do the, the work that we actually need to, and instead of lugging, like we’re looking at the kit right here, and I can, you can hold the case in one hand, let alone the tools in a couple of fingers. As opposed to torque tensioning tools that are this big, they weigh a hundred kilos, and those come with all of their own problems. So I know that you guys said you’re, you’re focused here. You do a lot of work, um, in the offshore wind world as well. Yeah. I mean, offshore wind is where you add a zero right? To zeros. Yeah. Everything else is that much more complicated. It costs that much more. It’s you’re transitioning people offshore to the transition pieces. Like there’s so much more HSE risk, dollar risk, all of these different spend things. So. The Echo Bolt systems, these different tools that you have being developed and utilized here first make absolute sense, but now you guys are starting to go to onshore as well.  Pete Andrews: Yeah, that’s right. So I mean, as as you said, that there’s really [00:03:00] three main benefit areas we focus on. The first one is the health and safety of technicians, right? As you said, some of the fasteners used offshore now are up to MA hundred. So a hundred millimeter diameter bolts,  Joel Saxum: four inches for our American friends. Yeah, absolutely.  Pete Andrews: And they probably weigh. 30 kilos plus per bolt. Yeah. Um, so just the physical manual handling of that sort of equipment and the tightening equipment for those bolts is a huge risk for people. If you think 150 bolts lifting or maneuvering, the tooling around on on its own can cause all the problems. So as well as the inherent risk of the hydraulic kit failing. So occasionally we see catastrophic tool failure. Is, which have really high potential severity, you know, sort of tensioner heads ejecting or crush injuries from Tor. So that is really a key focus for our customers, just to [00:04:00] keep their teams safe, but also you have to be the cost effective and the the major cost benefit we allow is that we don’t have to revisit every bolt and every turbine like you’d have to do if you were retyping. So we believe there’s something of the order of a million pounds per installed gigawatt saving. By moving from a routine REIT uh, maintenance strategy to a focused condition based inspection, you significantly reduce the amount of intervention you make and keep your turbines running more and reduce the boots on the ground on the turbine. So three real kind of, um, key. Benefits for people adopting our technology  Allen Hall: because we routinely see tower bolts being reworked or retention depending on who the manufacturer is. And I’m watching this go on. I’m like, why are [00:05:00] we doing this? It seems, or the 10% rule, we’re tighten 10% this year, and they’ll come back and see how it’s going. That’s a little insane, right, because you’re just kind of. Tensioning bolts up to see if one of them has a problem and then you just do more of them and we’re wasting so much time because echo bolts figured this out years ago. You don’t need to do that. You can tell what the tension is in a bolt ultrasonically, which was the original technology, the first gen I’ll call it, uh, that you could tell the length of the bolt. If the length of the bolt is correct within certain parameters, you know that it is tension properly. If it’s shrunk, that probably means it’s not tensioned properly. That’s a huge advantage because you can’t physically see it. And I know I’ve seen technicians go, oh, I could take a hammer and I can tell you which ones are not tensioned properly wrong. Wrong. And I think that’s where equitable comes in because you’re actually applying a a lot of science simply [00:06:00] to a complex problem because the numbers are so big. Pete Andrews: Yeah, I mean that, that, that’s been the real. Driving force between our offering is to simplify it. So ultimately we’re based on a non-destructive testing technique. It’s an ultrasonic thickness checking technique, but when from the non-destructive testing background, it’s crack detection, people have time, they can be, it’s a very precision measurement. People have to be trained in the wind industry. We’re trying to inspect. A thousand, 2000 bolts a day at scale. It’s a completely different, um, ask of the technology and the way the technology has been developed historically has required too much technician expertise, too much configuration and set up time, and hasn’t delivered on the, on the speed that’s needed to be efficient in wind. And that’s where our bolt wave [00:07:00] unit we’ve, that we’ve developed over the last. 18 months, let’s say, where all of our focus has gone to make it as slick and as easy for a client technician to pick up with minimal training. It’s through an iOS interface. Everyone understands it intuitively. Um, it’s a bit like using the camera app on your phone. You know, you’re just hitting measure, measure, measure, measure, measure 10 seconds a bolt as you move the, um, ultrasonic transducer across, and then the data gets moved. Automatically to the cloud, to our bolt platform. And customers can view it in near real time. The engineer in the office can see the inspections happened. They can see if there are any anomalous bolts, and then there can be communication there and then whether an intervention is necessary. So it’s sort of really changed the way our customers think about managing their, um. They’re bolted joints.  Joel Saxum: Well, I think these are, these are the kind of innovations that we love to see, right? Because [00:08:00] we regularly talk about a shortage of technicians, and this isn’t, I was just learning this this week too, like this is not a wind problem. This is a everywhere problem. No matter what industry you’re in. Use are short of technicians. But we’re seeing like a tool like this is developed to be able to scale that workforce as well. Right. You don’t need to be an NDT level three expert to go and do these things. ’cause there’s a very few of those people out there. Right? Right. We know the NDT people, a lot of NDT people, and that’s a hard skillset to come by. Yeah. This can be put in the hands of any technician. Yeah, a quick training course. Just, Hey, this is how you use your iPhone. You can check Instagram, right? Yeah. Okay. You can off figure. Yeah, have fun. See you at lunch. Um, but they can, they can make this happen, right? They can go do these inspections and you’re getting that, that, uh, data collected in the field. Centralized back to an SME that’s looking at it and you don’t have to put that SME in the field and try to scale their ability to go and travel and do all these things. They can be in the office making sure that the, the QA, QC is done correctly. I love it. I think that that’s the way we need to go with a lot of things. [00:09:00]Uh, and you’re making it happen.  Pete Andrews: Yeah. And it’s a real kind of. F change in mindset for us. So originally when we started Ebot, we were using third party hardware. Yeah. Which required a bit of that specialism. Yeah. A bit of care about the setup of the project, getting multiple parameters configured before you got going. And it wasn’t really something we could put in the hands of a customer.  Joel Saxum: Yeah.  Pete Andrews: Which meant Ebot scale was limited to what our own team could go and do, and regionally as well. You know, so we’re UK based. Probably 60% of our customers are uk, but now we have this Northern Europe offshore wind is obviously on our doorstep, but then increasingly we’ve done more and more in North America, so we’ve probably been to five or six sites now in North America and expect that to be a growth market because we can, we can now ship the devices over there, give some virtual training help. Uh, [00:10:00] people set themselves up and then that opens up that market, you know, so it’s been a real change in strategy for us, but has allowed us to have far more impact than we otherwise would just try to be a pure service.  Allen Hall: Well, let’s talk about the big problem in the states of a minute, which are the root bushing or inserts that are loose in some blades. When you lose that pushing, you also lose the tension on the bolt that can be measured. Is that something you’re getting involved with quite a bit now because of just trying to determine how many bolts are affected and, and where we are on the safety scale of can we run this turbine or not? Is that something that EE bolt’s been looking into? Pete Andrews: Yeah, absolutely. So I, I’d say there’s sort of two halves of what we do. There’s the, there’s the bulk wholesale monitoring of. Typically static connections to eliminate this routine retitling where it’s not needed typically, typically. But then we have these edge cases of certain [00:11:00] connections and certain platforms that have known bolt integrity problems, and we are working with clients to really, um, manage those integrity risks. Blade stud is an absolute classic, you know, sort of, I think almost every turbine OEM on some, if not all of their platforms has got. Embedded risk into their blades, pitch bearing connections. Um, so yeah, exactly as you said, our customers are using the technology for two things really. One is to ensure the bolts have been tightened to the preload that was specified or the target window. And quite often we find there is an opportunity to increase the preload and therefore increase the resistance to fatigue failure. So. You know, particularly on older sites where the bolts perhaps not in the condition they were on day one. Well, they definitely won’t be. Um, when people have gone and retti them, they haven’t got back to where they, they should be.[00:12:00] So we can prove that and increase a bit of that resilience, but then also start to look for the segments around the joint where, um, the bolt might start loosening or failures are occurring, and find areas where they can really hone in. And actively manage risk. And that sort of leads to what we’ve decided to do for the next year, particularly with Blade Stud in mind, is evolve this technology. So whilst it’s also measuring the elongation, we will do a defect scan at the same time. So you’ll monitor your blade stu, um, connection and we’re hoping that we can set the device to flag to you there and then. We believe this bulk has got a defect while you’re here, get it changed out before it fails and, and all the knock on problems, um, from there. Joel Saxum: So what you’re just pointing to there is a, is a workflow, right? So to me that is typical [00:13:00] of some of the amazing, innovative companies in the UK that I’ve run into throughout my career. And that is, you’re a group of SMEs, you know, bolted connections. That’s what you do, right? But then you’re like, hey. If there’s a tool, we could make a tool that would make our lives a bit easier, then it’s like, well, we could make the entire industry’s lives a little bit easier as well. So let’s iterate on that. And now you’re able to send these kits around the world to look at these things. Hey, you have a problem with this specific model. We can help you with this because we know the failure mode and we know how to look for it. Let’s do that for you. Also here, you’re doing bolt bulk measurements. We got that for you. But it all kind of flows back to the fact that Echo Bolt is a team. A bolted connection, SMEs that are making tools and being able to also provide consulting if need be. Yeah. Right. Um, to, to an entire industry. And I think that, um, this is my take on it, right? Wind is stop number one. I think you guys are gonna do a fantastic year, but there’s a lot of, uh, opportunity out there in bolted [00:14:00] connections as well. Allen Hall: A tremendous amount blade bolts being broken from defects in the crystalline structure. What appears to be a more. Rapidly developing issue across fleets that I’ve seen. I went to a farm this summer and the number of blade bolts that were there on the table that were broken on the conference room table was And the whiteboard office. Yeah. Yeah. This one,  Joel Saxum: this one.  Allen Hall: Your hard head is not gonna protect you from this one. It’s, it’s, it was this, um, I couldn’t imagine the amount of time they were spending hunting these things down. And of course, the only way they were finding ’em was they were broken. You like to catch ’em before they break because it becomes  Joel Saxum: a safety risk. Just not too long ago we saw an insurance case where there’s an RCA going on and it is pointing at an entire tower came down. Right. And it is pointing at a mid, mid tower section bolted connection. How often do you guys run into those problems? Or are you contacted by insurance companies or anything like that to, to take a peek at those? Pete Andrews: We haven’t done anything directly for insurance [00:15:00]companies, but we have been engaged by. Engineering consultancies that are doing RCA type activities. Okay. Um, things like at the end of defect liability periods mm-hmm. A customer has, has seen, they’ve had a lot of, uh, issues from an OEM, maybe an OE EM has offered a modification or an upgrade, assessing whether that upgrade is actually solved the problem or not. We’ve got involved in, um, but the tower. Issue specifically. It’s actually very rare we find, um, problems with tower connections, but where we do is often where they haven’t achieved good flange flatness, ah, during installation or the bolts have been, let’s say, left out in the elements for a period and lubrication has been, has deteriorated before the bolt’s been installed. So there are cases out there, but what I would say is. [00:16:00] To think about your whole life cycle, so ensure the bolt’s installed correctly and we can help with that with a QA to say, yes, this torque or tightening method has got you to the load that you want. Do some through life monitoring, but often if you install it correctly, it will it’s operational life. You will have very little concern. But then in the UK market, we’re increasingly getting involved again at the end of life, right? Life extension where life extension turbines are 20, 25 years old. How does an operator make a decision to carry on running without replacing all bots? Um, and that’s where increasingly we being asked to use the technologist just to say, actually the joint is fine. The bolts have run in a good, um, operational envelope. Run them on. Don’t replace a hundred percent of them like you might have been recommended to from your, um, yeah. Turbine supplier side. [00:17:00] Allen Hall: So Pete, if someone’s doing a repower where they’re basically putting a new one in the cell on an existing tower, they’re making a lot of assumptions about all the bolts from the ground up that they’re gonna be okay. And I know we’re talking about that. We’re in a lot of installations where. If the turbine has gone through a repowered or two. So now those bolts are 20 years old. Yeah. And trying to get ’em to  Joel Saxum: 30 35. 35  Allen Hall: 40. Yeah. I don’t know what they’re doing. By those bolted connections. Are they just like replacing the bolts? Are they hitting ’em with a hammer again? Is that the, yeah,  Pete Andrews: I mean, they might replace ’em, but you’ve got a problem with the foundation bolts. ’cause they’re obviously often anchor bolts set into concrete, so you have to reuse them and. With the projects, both in wind and in process power industry with the chimney stacks to try and ascertain whether foundation bolts that are set into concrete are still suitable for operations. So look for corrosion losses, look for [00:18:00] defects. Um, so yeah, they’re all things that need thinking about before you just make the snap decision to repower. But I think  Joel Saxum: a lot of that, uh, going back to a couple minutes ago, you were talking about at the commissioning phase, making sure that you have proper qa, QC of how these things were installed day one, and then making sure that before commissioning of a turbine, they’re checked. I think that’s really important. We’re starting to see that in the blade world now too, where we’ve been talking about it for a long time, and now when you talk to operators, they’re like, we’re getting inspections done on the blades before they’re hung. Or at the factory before they’re hung. After they’re hung. Like they want a good foundation baseline. Are you seeing that in the bolted connection world too?  Pete Andrews: Yes. Sort of. It’s just emerging for us. What we’ve found is, so most of our customers are in the operational phase ’cause they are the ones feeling the pain. Yeah. Of the routine retitling work. When they do major components, they sometimes engage us to come and say, can you check [00:19:00] before and after the blade was removed? What was it? Before we took it off from a a bolt load perspective, what is it afterwards? Can you then recheck after 500 hours When we retalk it? And what we’ve seen there often is the initial install hasn’t got them to where they needed to be and they’ve had to go and do the break in maintenance or the 500 hour REIT to get the bolts to the right load. So one of the questions that we have is whether. Some of the defects are actually being initiated very early on in that initial running in period and whether if, if actually you’d taken the time at, at the point of assembly to make sure you were correct, whether that avoids some of the knock on integrity concerns. So yeah, it’s interesting area.  Allen Hall: Well, bolts are what hold wind turbines together and you better know you have the right. Tension and [00:20:00] torque on your bolts to get to the lifetime of the wind turbine and to, and to check it once in a while. And I know there’s a lot of operators I can think of right now in the United States that are sort of doing that job somewhat. I I think they have missed out on opportunities to save a lot of money and to call it echo bolt. How do people get ahold of you? Because that’s one thing I run into all the time. Like, Hey, hey, you gotta talk to Ebol, call Ebol. How do they get ahold of you?  Pete Andrews: So the easiest ways are via our website. Which is echo bolt.com.

Welcome to Day 2 of the Body Harmony Series. Yesterday, we focused on anchoring our awareness and dropping out of a racing mind. Today, we step deeper into the body to target the physical spaces where stress, overstimulation, and daily pressure accumulate most: the neck, shoulders, and jaw. Physical tension is often just an energetic holding pattern—a subconscious attempt to control or push through our days. In this session, we use a soothing somatic body scan and gentle, spacious breathing to intentionally soften these target areas. By giving your muscles permission to unbrace, you allow your physical form to return to its natural state of open, effortless ease. A Message for Your Heart Take a slow, deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel your entire body grow a little heavier, a little softer. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders today. You don't have to force things into place or tighten yourself against life. There is a profound strength in letting go. Repeat this softly to yourself as you settle into quiet: "I surrender to my inner truth." Let that truth remind you that you are already whole, you are completely safe, and you are allowed to ease into this moment exactly as you are. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Stop Procrastinating: Meditations for Overwhelm and Focus" episodes 2713-2719. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Today, we are stepping into a week-long journey together: The Body Harmony Series. So often, we live our lives from the neck up—caught in the momentum of a racing mind, managing endless to-do lists, and pushing through the day. But your mind is only half the story. Your body carries the rhythm of your life. It holds your stress, it remembers your long days, and right now, it might be asking you for a moment to simply rest, reset, and repair. Over the next seven days, we are going to close the gap between your mind and your body. We will be using ancient, time-tested awareness techniques and gentle somatic breathing to melt away deep physical tension, soothe your nervous system, and move out of that exhausted 'fight-or-flight' mode. By the end of this week, you won't just feel calmer—your body will feel like a sanctuary again. Let's begin this journey of deep restoration. Go ahead and settle into your space, adjust your posture, take a deep, clearing breath… and let's meditate together." THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Bodywise Quest This week, tune into the intuition of your body. Your body knows what you need. Honor its messages this week.

Most leaders do not fail because they lack ambition. They fail because pressure exposes the weak spots in how they communicate, decide, and lead. In this conversation, Paul Young breaks leadership into seven core elements, then shows how those elements play out in the real world. From storytelling and executive presence to AI workflows and burnout, this episode asks a deeper question: what actually helps a leader stay effective when complexity keeps rising? If you are trying to lead with more clarity, build stronger systems, or use AI without losing judgment, this episode will give you a lot to think about. The Crisis That Revealed Who the Real Leader Was One of the most memorable stories in the episode centers on a major security crisis, when a room full of executives turned to one lower-level expert for direction. His name was Rush, and in the most intense moment, title stopped mattering. That story matters because it exposes something many teams forget. Leadership is not always formal. Sometimes the person people trust most is the one with the clearest thinking under pressure. If you want to grow your influence, that is a standard worth paying attention to. Why Data Alone Rarely Moves People Leaders love spreadsheets because they feel safe. But safe does not always mean persuasive. Paul makes the case that storytelling is often the missing link between insight and action. That matters to any leader trying to get buy-in. People do not remember the slide deck. They remember the customer story, the turning point, the real-world example that makes the issue feel urgent. If you cannot make people feel the problem, they will not move on the solution. The Simple Opening That Changes How People Listen Paul shares a technique he calls the bond moment, a short opening story designed to grab attention before the usual bio or credentials. It sounds simple, but it changes the energy of the room fast. Why is that important? Because most leaders lose people in the first minute. If you can open with tension instead of background, people lean in. That one small shift can make every presentation, pitch, or interview more memorable. The Career Gap That Has Nothing to Do With Talent Paul contrasts two product managers, Chris and Will. One kept getting stuck on frustrating projects and started questioning his path. The other kept rising into bigger opportunities and leadership roles. The gap was not intelligence. It was communication, influence, and the soft skills that shape how others experience your leadership. That makes this section especially relevant for listeners who are doing good work but still feel overlooked. The AI Shortcut That Could Quietly Hurt Your Team AI can absolutely speed things up. Paul is not anti-AI. What he challenges is the growing temptation to use AI as an easy button, producing polished work without the judgment to know whether it is actually good. That is a big deal for leaders. Faster output is seductive, especially under pressure. But if your team loses the ability to question, refine, and evaluate quality, you are not creating leverage. You are scaling weak thinking. About Paul Young Paul Young helps leaders and product teams improve how they communicate, decide, and execute. In this episode, he brings a practical framework for leadership that feels especially timely as teams wrestle with AI, burnout, and the pressure to move faster without losing quality.

Why are so many Christians spiritually exhausted today?Why does modern Christianity feel increasingly divided, tribal, political, and shallow?In this deeply personal episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, Bobby shares the powerful conversion story behind his upcoming book, Divine Tension: Why the Catholic Church Doesn't Choose Sides.From partying, gambling, anxiety, and searching for meaning… to a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ at Midnight Mass inside one of Chicago's most beautiful Catholic churches… this episode explores the deeper tensions many Christians feel but struggle to explain.This isn't about choosing between:• Truth or love• Tradition or evangelization• Justice or holiness• Reverence or missionCatholicism has always been BOTH/AND.The word Catholic itself means “according to the whole” — the fullness of truth, the fullness of revelation, and the fullness of what Jesus Christ left His Church.In this episode we discuss:• Bobby's dramatic Catholic conversion story• Midnight Mass and encountering the Holy Spirit• Why so many Catholics feel spiritually homeless• The danger of tribal Christianity• The problem with reducing faith into politics• The beauty of the Catholic Church• Why the Mass is both sacrifice and communion• The tension between holiness and mission• How Alpha and discipleship changed lives• Why the Church was never meant to choose sides• The deeper meaning behind Divine TensionIf you've ever wrestled with:• traditional vs progressive Catholicism• faith and reason• truth and compassion• religion vs relationship• maintenance vs mission…this conversation is for you.https://linktr.ee/bobbyfred85Purposelycatholic.com

Important correction: this appears as 101144, not 101176. Good for anxiety, depression, sleep quality, cognition, autistic behavior, and EEG-related outcomes while still keeping the evidence cautious.Lin, F. W., et al. “Effects of Tibetan Singing Bowl Intervention on Psychological and Physiological Health in Adults: A Systematic Review.” 2025. Useful as another recent review angle, especially for psychological health, physiological measures, HRV, and brainwave-related discussion.

Good, but frame as observational, not definitive.Rio-Alamos, Cristina, et al. “Acute Relaxation Response Induced by Tibetan Singing Bowl Sounds: A Randomized Controlled Trial.” European Journal of Investigation in Health, Psychology and Education 13, no. 2 (2023): 317–328. Use for Tibetan singing bowl treatment compared with progressive muscle relaxation and a waiting-list control in anxious nonclinical adults.Walter, Nina, et al. “Neurophysiological Effects of a Singing Bowl Massage.” Medicina 58, no. 5 (2022): 594. Use for EEG, ECG, and respiration during singing bowl massage; the authors interpret the results as a shift toward a more mindful or meditative state.Goldsby, Tamara L., et al. “Mood, Emotional, and Spiritual Well-Being Interrelationships.” Religions 13, no. 2 (2022). Useful follow-up for spiritual well-being, emotional interpretation, and how people understand sound-healing experiences.Sound, Anxiety, HRV, and Brainwave CautionMallik, Adiel, and Frank A. Russo. “The Effects of Music & Auditory Beat Stimulation on Anxiety: A Randomized Clinical Trial.” PLOS ONE 17, no. 3 (2022): e0259312. Use this carefully for the broader point that sound-based treatments can reduce somatic and cognitive state anxiety. Do not use it as proof that singing bowls automatically entrain brainwaves.Ingendoh, Ruth Maria, Ella S. Posny, and Angela Heine. “Binaural Beats to Entrain the Brain? A Systematic Review of the Effects of Binaural Beat Stimulation on Brain Oscillatory Activity, and the Implications for Psychological Research and Intervention.” PLOS ONE 18, no. 5 (2023): e0286023. Very useful caution source.

Strong source for questioning popular origin stories around “Tibetan” singing bowls.Joffe, Ben. “Anthropology and Tibetan Buddhism / Cultural Commodification / Tibetan Mystique.” 2015. Use for the larger argument about how Tibetan/Himalayan aura gets packaged in Western spiritual markets. Good support for the “Tibet as imagined storehouse of hidden wisdom” point.Scheidegger, Daniel A. “Tibetan Ritual Music.” Use for actual Tibetan Buddhist ritual sound: bells, cymbals, long horns, drums, chant, and liturgical soundscape. This helps separate real Tibetan ritual sound from overblown modern singing-bowl mythology.Lopez, Donald S. Prisoners of Shangri-La: Tibetan Buddhism and the West.

Tension simmers in 1313: WICKED STEPBROTHER (2011) as The Blind Rage Podcast navigates a household where new family ties are anything but ordinary. Moving in with his new stepfamily, a young man finds the air thick with unspoken desires, rivalries, and a sense that private spaces aren't quite as safe as they seem. Every look and lingering conversation carries weight, and the domestic calm is only an illusion waiting to unravel. The film blends intimacy and danger with dark humor, letting obsession creep through corridors, shared rooms, and quiet corners. It balances charm with menace, creating a house where comfort and threat exist side by side, and every moment feels just slightly off‑kilter.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Mark.In Mark chapter 2, Jesus walks past a tax collector — one of the most despised men in town — and says two words: Follow me. No conditions. No get-his-act-together required. Just an invitation.Then Jesus goes to his house for dinner. And the religious leaders lose it.Jesus gravitates toward exactly the people everyone else avoids, which reveals the nature of the gospel: Jesus only heals people who know they're sick. Which means the real danger isn't being too far gone. It's thinking you're already fine.If you've been a Christian long enough to forget what it felt like to need saving, this message will challenge you. And if you're not sure Jesus would want anything to do with you, this one's for you, too.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 24, 2026, at 10:30am.

05/24/2026 Paul Bang   Romans 13:1-7     Submission to the Authorities 13 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down Alec Segaert's perfectly-timed late attack to win Stage 12 over a depleted peloton, which Movistar blew up on a mid-stage climb. They look at how the Segaert read the race perfectly, how the pieces were put into place for his winning move, and what to make of his GC rivals allowing race-leader Afonso Eulálio to take six bonus seconds, along with Ben O'Connor getting four, on the run-in to the finish. They also look forward to tomorrow's Stage 13, giving their picks for the win and if they expect the stage to be won from the breakaway or the peloton.

What started as harmless fun between acquaintances triggered explosive rage in Ezdeth Highley. She waited outside in the darkness and stabbed Paul three times, killing him in an instant. Kelly Jennings uncovers every chilling detail: the seemingly innocent joke that ignited the violence, the troubled background of the perpetrator, the devastating toll on Paul's family and friends, and the shocking courtroom outcome that left many questioning justice.Timestamps06:49 Tension in the Bar10:18 The Prank Gone Wrong17:22 The Aftermath of Violence19:30 Understanding the Criminal22:01 The Cycle of Crime29:34 Consequences of Release34:44 Life After the Murder36:54 Transformation or Manipulation?

And yet, we live in a world that's unresolved.In this episode of Live the Bible, we're looking to the book of 1 John for how to deal with that tension.It's a simple—but powerful—solution that will bring lasting peace.

The show kicked off with reactions to the thrilling Thunder-Spurs double-overtime matchup, as Tobin and Leroy debated whether OKC and San Antonio are already separating themselves from the rest of the NBA. The guys also touched on the Marlins' offensive explosion against the Braves, Tobin's failed parlay, and what Victor Wembanyama's development could mean for Kel'el Ware's future with the Heat. Later, the focus shifted to Dolphins OTA's, with updates and comments from Jeff Hafley fueling discussion about Miami's expectations this season. The crew also reacted to the bizarre mix-up involving Jaxon Smith-Njigba receiving a Defensive Player of the Year trophy, before diving into another edition of “The Damage is Done My Friend.” The crew then tackled the growing tension between Lionel Messi, Inter Miami, and frustrated fans upset over players no longer acknowledging supporters after matches. Leroy defended the player's perspective while the rest of the gang pushed back, leading to a spirited debate that continued off-air. To close the show, the guys circled back to Dolphins OTA updates, joked about sending Kel'el Ware “to the monks” for development like Wemby, reacted to Dwyane Wade's comments about fan patience, and wrapped things up with a trip into the mixed bag.

We all like the idea of trusting God—until life stops going according to our plan. In this message, Pastor Morgan continues our Chasing Purpose series by looking at Solomon's words in Ecclesiastes 3 and 4. Solomon reminds us that life is not something we can fully control. There are seasons we would never choose, moments we cannot predict, and outcomes we cannot force. But even when life feels uncertain, God sees what we cannot see. He sees the full picture. He knows the beginning and the end. And real purpose is not found in mastering our lives—it is found in surrendering them to Him. If you have been trying to control every detail, carry every outcome, or make sense of a season that feels unclear, this message is an invitation to release control and trust the One who already holds your life.

Have you ever been asked to do something in a way that just didn't sit right with you? If you are a physician, the answer is almost certainly yes — and probably this week. We get trained to defer, to accommodate, to keep the peace, to make it work. And somewhere along the way, accommodation stops being a skill and starts being a default. A reflex. A cost. There is a quiet teaching most physicians absorb without realizing it: that there is one right way to do things, and our job is to find it, follow it, and not step out of line. The tension between that conditioning and our own inner knowing is the territory of this episode. There is no one right way. There are many. In this episode, Jessie and Ni-Cheng sit with the exact moment that conditioning gets tested — the bristle, the chest tightness, the split-second pull between complying, refusing, or saying nothing at all. Jessie shares a current dilemma where her expertise and what is being asked of her are not quite aligned. Ni-Cheng offers examples from her own practice, including the automatic bristle that comes when a patient hands her a pre-written letter to sign. Together they explore why over-accommodation is so common in medicine, what it actually costs us, and how mindfulness opens up something better than compliance or conflict. In this episode Jessie walks through the layers underneath that moment of tension — why it is rarely just about the task, and why physicians in particular are so prone to over-accommodation. The episode explores the hidden cost of defaulting to easy, good, and agreeable; the difference between an automatic reaction and a true inner knowing; the third option that becomes possible when we pause; and the four C's that change everything — curiosity, creativity, connection, and co-creation. Above all, this episode is a reminder that there is no one right way to practice medicine, lead, parent, or live. There are many. What we explore Why over-accommodation is so common — and so costly — for physicians What the moment of tension is really about: identity, safety, boundaries, belonging, self-trust How conditioning, hierarchy, and perfectionism shape our reactivity The difference between automatic reaction and true inner knowing The pause, the third option, and the four C's Why there is no one right way — there are many Pearls of Wisdom There is no one right way. There are many. Over-accommodation is a trained response, not a personality trait. It can be unlearned. The moment of tension is not just about the ask. It is about identity, safety, boundaries, belonging, and self-trust. Their urgency is not your urgency. You can choose alignment over someone else's approval — without abandoning the relationship. Not every disagreement means your inner knowing is one hundred percent right. Mindfulness helps us tell the difference. Reflection Questions When was the last time something didn't feel right, but we went along with it anyway? What did that cost us emotionally, energetically, or relationally? Where in our work or life have we confused accommodation with care? How do we recognize our inner yes versus our inner no? Where might we experiment with pausing before automatically agreeing or automatically refusing? What would it look like to trust ourselves a bit more — and stay curious about their perspective at the same time?

In 2025, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump launched "Trump Mobile," a smartphone designed and built entirely in America. Costumers could pre-order the phone by putting down a $100 deposit for the $499 phone. Since, the product dropped its "American made" promise, the phone did not ship on schedule, and the terms have redefined the $100 deposits as a "conditional opportunity if Trump Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale.” The company wants to use T-Mobile's network which is subject to federal government regulations, a conflict of interest. Trump complains that the Supreme Court is not loyal to him over tariffs. Trump posts AI images about the Iran war and his political rivals.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  In this episode, she's speaking with Luke Burgis about his new book, The One and the Ninety-Nine, Forging Identity in the Age of Social Contagion.  Through stories ranging from the parable of the lost sheep to August Landmesser, the only person in a huge crowd to refuse to salute to Hitler, Luke describes the missing skill that makes real community possible: learning how to remain oneself while staying connected to others. He offers practical, tactical advice for how to recognize false belonging, escape coercive dynamics, and pass through the rites of passage that produce people with integrity and courage. This is a book that will help you figure out what YOU want, so that you can go get it rather than being distracted by what others want. Guest Background: Luke Burgis is the director of The Cluny Institute and a professor at The Catholic University of America, where he studies the invisible forces that shape human behavior. He is the author of Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life. He lives in Washington, D.C., and Michigan with his wife, Claire, and their children.

The success of WWII production highlights a fundamental tension between centralized government command and private sector innovation. During World War I, Woodrow Wilson's attempt to nationalize the economy resulted in a disaster where vast sums were spent without producing a single airplane or ship. Learning from this, FDR and Knudsen chose to let private industry determine how to execute the goals set by Washington. This partnership allowed businesses to unleash their expertise and innovation to solve public sector problems. Today, the American defense industrial base has shrunk significantly, lagging behind in critical areas like AI, semiconductors, and quantum technology. The sources argue that we have given too much control to bureaucrats rather than turning the private sector loose. The contrast is exemplified by the success of SpaceX versus NASA, suggesting that the secret to restoring national security lies in recreating the flexible, incentive-based industrial environment that won the Second World War.
