If you're exhausted from replaying conversations, second-guessing your choices, and filtering your personality through “what will they think?” - this episode will help.I'm joined by Jordanna Bornensztajn (comedian, communication expert, keynote speaker) to unpack the real reason so many high-functioning people feel stuck: fear of judgment.We talk about why judgment is the #1 fear she sees in workshops, why most of the “pressure” you feel is actually self-generated, and the mindset shift that instantly loosens its grip: stop making it about you. We also get into how confidence is built through messy action (not certainty), why your brain treats social risk like physical danger, and how to use embarrassment and failure as fuel instead of proof that you're “behind.”This episode will change your life by changing your relationship with judgment.Jordanna is a comedian, communication expert, keynote speaker, and public speaking coach.

In this episode, we traverse the real depths of the metamorphosis women go through when the longing for love, marriage, devotion, and motherhood awakens–especially after years of being the high-achieving, ambitious, driven woman who built her identity around her success. Because when that longing arrives, it doesn't just add a new desire to your life…It often shatters identities. The "high-achiever / boss-babe identity" and the "wife/mother/woman identity" can feel like two tectonic plates colliding, creating grief, fear, anxiety, confusion… and a radical reordering of values and priorities. We explore why so many women are trying to rush, control, or think their way through this threshold—and why it doesn't work. Why the only way through is descent: below the mind, into the body, the nervous system, the womb, the erotic aliveness, the grief, the anger, the void. If you've built success… and yet your feminine heart is aching for something more–this episode is a warm embrace and an invitation to soften into what is true.   In this episode, we explore: Why the longing for marriage and motherhood can trigger an identity crisis (even in the most successful women) The hidden ways high-achieving women armor their hearts through hustling and over-functioning The "identity crisis" calling you forth to a different era when single Outgrowing your gender roles when in long-term partnership  The "tectonic plate" collision: CEO vs. wife/mother/woman Why "having it all" often comes with the fine print: you must also do it all How overcoming  the 50/50 dynamic, being the breadwinner, and provision conversations can become major initiations The real cost on your womanhood, intimacy, & health of spending years in productivity-first mode–from burnout to loss of sexual desire, emotional numbing or fertility challenges  Why mind-based work alone doesn't create lasting change–and why actual actual must encompass the nervous system   The sacred role of the holy void: the in-between space where the old dies and the new hasn't arrived yet Navigating the initiatory thresholds – the descents – as an embodied woman   Dive deeper into my world Join Holy Body – The Somatic Membership to release armor, rewire patterns, create a life where you get it to have it all–the devotional love, the thriving family, the wild wealth–in alignment with your body, womb, and femininity  Connect on Instagram: @aurikavalan Get my FREE Somatic Reset with 3 somatic practices to reset your relationships, business, and feminine aliveness

There's a waterfall hidden in the woods of Cornwall that makes grandmothers kick off their boots and dance on wet stones. Something about this place strips away the performance — and gives you permission you didn't know you needed.In episode 3 of The Soul's 8 Thresholds of Transformation, Nina Hirlaender OFS guides you across the Beltane threshold: the return of desire, creative energy, and embodied joy. She explores what happens when longing wakes up after a long silence — and why so many seekers either shame their desire into submission or scatter it through impulsive action. Drawing on Francis of Assisi as the Mystic of Joy and the theological concept of incarnational joy, Nina makes a compelling case: joy is not a reward for getting your life right. It's one of the clearest ways your heart tells the truth.What You'll Learn:What your body is actually telling you when restlessness, longing, or creative heat suddenly shows upThe hidden reason your spiritual life feels exhausting (it's not what you think)Two common traps that keep seekers stuck at this threshold — and the one shift that changes everythingWhat Francis of Assisi understood about desire that most modern spirituality gets completely wrongA five-minute practice that can bring joy back into your body today — no waterfall requiredYour Next Steps:Register for the Free Live Class: "The 8 Seasons of the Soul (And How to Know Which One You're In)" >> https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/H4M-xN9DSyS_uicdJdjjTQJoin the final Celtic Shamanism in England pilgrimage (May 23 – June 2, 2026)>> https://dancingspirittours.com/journeys/england/Support the showRate, Review & Follow If Holy Rebels has helped you practise your spirituality in real life, would you take 30 seconds to leave a quick rating and review?

The Residential Tenancies Bill has now passed the Dáil and is set to come into effect on March 1st, bringing major changes to the rental market. The new law will allow landlords to reset rents to market rates when a property becomes vacant — a move the Government says will boost investment and supply, but which tenant groups warn could drive rents even higher. With protests taking place outside Leinster House this week and concerns that tens of thousands of first-time renters could be affected, Megan Kenny, Threshold's National Casework Manager spoke with Alan Morrissey on Friday's Morning Focus.

Is Bitcoin still just a digital store of value, or is it quietly evolving into the financial engine of a new on-chain economy? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Callan Sarre, Co-Founder of Threshold Labs, to explore what happens when the world's most recognized crypto asset stops sitting idle and starts becoming programmable capital. We recorded against the backdrop of a sharp market correction that wiped out value across crypto and traditional assets alike, making for a timely and honest conversation about volatility, maturity, and why Bitcoin's next chapter may be defined by utility rather than price speculation.  Callan explains how the rise of ETFs and institutional flows is reshaping ownership, while decentralized infrastructure is working to ensure users can still access the asset's underlying power. At the heart of our discussion is tBTC, a trust-minimized bridge that moves native Bitcoin into DeFi without handing control to centralized custodians. Callan breaks down how Threshold's decentralized custody model works in practice and why removing single points of failure matters in a post-FTX world. We also explore the behavioral barriers that have kept long-term holders from putting their BTC to work, the real risks behind Bitcoin yield strategies, and the infrastructure required to make these tools accessible to a broader audience through familiar Web2-style experiences. The conversation also takes a global turn as we look at why Asia is accelerating Bitcoin innovation, how regulation is driving institutional adoption in Western markets, and what the shift from DAO-led governance to a lab execution model reveals about the realities of building at scale.  Looking ahead five years, Callan paints a picture of an integrated on-chain financial system where Bitcoin can be borrowed against, deployed, and settled instantly across shared liquidity rails, while still preserving the principles that made it attractive in the first place. So if Bitcoin becomes productive capital and the majority of financial activity moves on-chain, what does that mean for traditional finance, for long-term holders, and for the next wave of builders? And are we ready for a world where the most secure monetary asset also becomes the most composable?

The Aquarius New Moon on February 14, 2026 arrives as a powerful Solar Eclipse — the first eclipse of this season and a significant energetic doorway into a new collective chapter. Eclipses are not ordinary New Moons. They are portals. They interrupt the usual rhythm of time and invite accelerated change, realignment, and revelation. This lunation takes place at the anaretic degree of Aquarius, emphasizing culmination and transition. Something is completing, and something new is beginning — even if we cannot yet name it.

Welcome to Episode 5 of Crossing Thresholds: Religion, Resilience & Migration, a special mini-series of Walk Talk Listen produced in connection with research by the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith & Local Communities (JLI) and Christian Aid on faith and climate migration.   In this episode, Maurice Bloem speaks with Biswash Chepang, an Indigenous rights advocate from Nepal, about what climate change, displacement, and faith mean for communities whose identity, spirituality, and survival are inseparable from land. Biswash reflects on Indigenous worldviews in which land is not a commodity, but a living relationship that connects birth, death, culture, and belief.   Their conversation explores how climate pressure affects Indigenous communities long before migration takes place. As forests disappear, land rights are denied, and livelihoods erode, people can become displaced without ever moving. Biswash describes how the loss of land ownership and access creates forms of silent displacement that are often overlooked in policy discussions about climate migration.   Faith runs throughout this conversation, not as an abstract concept, but as something embedded in land, rivers, forests, and daily life. Biswash speaks about spiritual practices rooted in nature, as well as the complex role of religious change in contexts of poverty and exclusion, where faith can offer both support and profound cultural disruption.   Biswash's reflections echo findings from the JLI–Christian Aid evidence review, which shows that climate migration is frequently preceded by prolonged environmental and social stress, that strong spiritual ties to land shape decisions not to migrate, and that displacement often takes emotional, cultural, and spiritual forms that are difficult to measure. His story gives voice to these dynamics, grounding research insights in lived Indigenous experience. Rather than a formal interview, this episode is a listening dialogue about land, belonging, faith, and the quiet thresholds people are forced to cross when their relationship with place is put under pressure.   Learn more about the research behind this series: [link to JLI–Christian Aid report]   During our conversation we experienced some challenges with our connection and therefore you will hear a couple of hiccups that we couldn't get edited out. Our apologies for at least two moments where it seems that Biswash his answers were cut short.    Listener Engagement: Learn more about Biswash via his LinkedIn and Facebook.

Send a textIn this episode of Journal Club, Ben and Daphna review a non-inferiority trial from the European Journal of Pediatrics exploring surfactant administration thresholds in preterm neonates. The study, conducted in India, compares a 30% versus 40% FiO2 threshold for babies 26-32 weeks gestational age. The hosts break down the counterintuitive findings regarding respiratory support duration in younger subgroups and discuss the broader implications of using rigid FiO2 heuristics versus individualized patient assessment. They also debate how resource availability influences clinical protocols and the potential benefits of "LISA" (Less Invasive Surfactant Administration) for avoiding intubation.----Higher (40%) versus lower (30%) FiO2 threshold for surfactant administration in preterm neonates between 26 and 32 weeks of gestational age: a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial.

From Literacy to Savviness: Rethinking How We Learn with AI (EP:45) With Chris Minter, PHD How do we stay thoughtful, skilled, and grounded as AI accelerates faster than our instincts can adapt? In this episode, we explore the shift from simply knowing about AI to becoming truly savvy in how we use it. Chris Minter invites us to consider how contextual inputs, desired outputs, and intentional engagement shape our ability to think clearly in an age of intelligent tools. Together, we examine the balance between efficiency and depth, the risks of over‑reliance and “AI slop,” and the importance of protecting our own voice, judgment, and craftsmanship as educators and learning leaders.

North Dakota just crossed a historic milestone: the state likely surpassed 800,000 residents for the very first time, according to new census estimates. On today’s episode of The Wake Up Call, Tank, Scotch, and Mandy break down what this milestone really means for the state — from growth, migration, and why so many folks are moving here, to what North Dakota absolutely does not need more of. We’ll celebrate the new arrivals, share a Top 5 Signs North Dakota Just Hit 800,000, and take some fun guesses at who the “800,000th North Dakotan” might actually be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:1. The Transformation Economy is the Future of Professional Services. Professional services are evolving beyond commodities → goods → services → experiences to transformations. Clients will pay for meaningful life/business changes (opening a business, planning legacy, scaling to $1M) rather than just deliverables. Transformations subsume all previous economic levels and are best monetized through subscriptions.2. Subscription vs. Recurring Revenue: A Critical Distinction. There's a fundamental difference between recurring (predictable repeat billing) and reoccurring (periodic invoicing). True subscription models create 5-10x higher business valuations and require upfront payment, automation, and a membership mindset—not just monthly invoicing for the same service.3. Nature of Work Trumps Scope of Work. Instead of selling defined scopes (hours, tasks, deliverables), professionals should sell nature of work (bookkeeper vs. controller vs. CFO; pair of hands vs. expert vs. collaborator). This shifts focus from transactional outputs to strategic relationships and enables premium subscription pricing.4. The Billable Hour Persists Due to Inertia, Profitability, and Technology Gaps. Despite decades of criticism, hourly billing survives because: (1) it's still profitable enough, (2) switching requires overcoming massive inertia, and (3) existing legal/accounting tech is built to optimize billable hours rather than enable alternative models. Bottom-up transformation (solo practitioners first) is more feasible than top-down.5. AI Won't Replace Human Expertise—It Will Enhance It. While AI can handle execution (like robotic surgery or document drafting), clients will still want human subject matter experts for consultation, strategy, and decision-making. The key is “prescription before diagnosis”—professionals must diagnose before prescribing solutions, and AI should augment rather than replace that consultative relationship.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes his two-part conversation exploring those questions with neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor, co-author with Denyse O'Leary of the recent book The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon's Case for the Existence of the Soul, and Alexander Batthyany, a leading researcher on terminal lucidity and author of Threshold: Terminal Lucidity and the Border Between Life and Death. In the first half of the conversation, we defined terminal lucidity and explored why it's so puzzling. Today, we look at how it relates to near-death experiences, and we ask a deeper question: what does this phenomenon suggest about the nature of the human mind? This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source

In this episode of the More Than Graphics podcast, hosts Danielle and Priscilla engage in a deep conversation with filmmaker Tyrone Russell about the concept of thresholds in personal and creative growth. They explore the importance of alignment in creative spaces, the challenges of identity shifts, and the significance of representation. Tyrone shares his journey from yoga instructor to filmmaker, emphasizing the need to own one's space and the value of self-care. The discussion also touches on the ethics of storytelling, the magic found in ordinary moments, and the importance of dreaming differently for the future.Tyrone Russell is a filmmaker and storyteller with a background in narrative and documentary work. He spent nearly a decade in New Zealand directing short films, shaping docs, and collaborating on projects that center overlooked communities and global perspectives.His work often explores themes of identity, belonging, and transformation with a bent toward joy and a touch of the absurd. Tyrone is drawn to stories that challenge expectations, not through politics, but through perspective: reframing the ordinary, spotlighting the unseen, and finding humor or humanity in unexpected places.Since returning to Columbus OH, he's been focused on building collaborative, story-first projects that stretch format and play with tone. Whether it's digital shorts, live storytelling, or community-rooted docs, Tyrone is most at home where cinematic craft meets curiosity.TAKEAWAYSAlignment is crucial for survival in creative industries.Thresholds represent moments of potential change in our lives.Emotional consistency is key to maintaining a brand voice.Owning your space is essential for representation.Self-care practices can enhance creativity and productivity.Finding magic in the ordinary can inspire creativity.The importance of community support in navigating challenges.Imposter syndrome is a common hurdle for creatives.Dreaming bigger is necessary for personal growth.Stories can empower others and create connections.TIMESTAMP00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Theme of Threshold01:53 Understanding the Concept of Threshold04:23 Tyrone Russell's Journey and Identity Shift07:13 Navigating Imposter Syndrome and Growth09:48 The Importance of Representation in Creative Spaces12:34 Self-Care and Personal Growth15:18 Creative Purgatory and Storytelling18:15 The Ethics of Storytelling and Community Representation28:03 Cultural Perspectives on Aging30:49 Rediscovering Home and Ordinary Magic33:25 Dreaming Differently: Life Transitions36:16 Finding Joy in the Ordinary37:41 Creative Shenanigans and Storytelling41:07 Unexpected Inspirations and AdviceFOLLOW TYRONEhttps://www.instagram.com/tyronewhereverhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tyrone-russell/FOLLOW MTG & CO-HOSTSmtgthepodcast.com

After the midnight visit from the men in black, Brian is left with a choice—back down, or push forward and risk everything. There's no middle ground anymore. Daniel, uneasy but resolute, agrees to stand with him no matter what comes next. Every document is copied. Multiple backups are created and hidden in separate locations. If the evidence disappears, the truth won't disappear with it. As the pressure mounts, Zach makes contact with an underground network of researchers who have been operating in the shadows for decades—people with their own stories of intimidation, silencing, and government interference. They know the rules of this world. They know how to survive it.Then an opportunity arrives they never anticipated. Documentary filmmaker Amanda steps forward, determined to tell the story. She's meticulous, credible, and unafraid of the implications. Once she's in, there's no turning back. The crew arrives in November. Interviews begin. Physical evidence is examined and verified by independent experts. But it quickly becomes clear they're not alone. A break-in at the rental house leaves one thing missing—documents. Nothing else is disturbed. Days later, a tracking device is discovered beneath a crew member's car. The message is unmistakable: we see you, and we can reach you whenever we want.They keep filming anyway. Two weeks before Christmas, the phone rings. The same calm, practiced voice from that first encounter delivers a final warning. But this time, something slips—something unintended.“The creatures are just one piece of a much larger puzzle. ”Brian refuses to back down. On the other end of the line, the voice sounds almost regretful.“Then I'm sorry for what's going to happen. ”As tensions rise, Zach uncovers the existence of Project Threshold—a classified Department of Defense operation launched in 1962. The revelation is staggering. The government hasn't merely covered up the existence of these creatures. They've been managing them. Containing them. Controlling them. For decades—possibly since the 1940s. And buried even deeper is something else. Something far more dangerous. Something they fear more than the creatures themselves.Then, just before dawn, there's a knock at the door. No one is there. Only a manila envelope resting on the doormat, stamped with a single word: TRUTH. Inside is a file marked Project Vulcan. Dated May 18, 1980—the day Mount St. Helens erupted.In the chaos following the eruption, military recovery teams entered the blast zone. What they retrieved was never meant to be known: seventeen dead specimens. Three critically injured. One survivor. The photographs are impossible to deny. A massive, seven-foot-tall creature lies strapped to a stretcher, its body scorched, its hair burned away, surrounded by men in hazmat suits. The conclusion is unavoidable. The United States government didn't just know these beings existed.They've been studying them—for over forty years.

Welcome to Episode 4 of Crossing Thresholds: Religion, Resilience & Migration, a special mini-series of Walk Talk Listen produced in connection with new research by the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith & Local Communities (JLI) and Christian Aid on faith and climate migration. In this episode, Maurice Bloem speaks with Nidia Rosmery Bustillos Rodríguez, a Bolivian traditional healer and herbalist born in Cochabamba, whose life and work bring together lived experience, academic training, and Indigenous knowledge. Nidia is trained in information management, development studies, and transpersonal psychology, and her professional path integrates research, cultural management, and institutional work in the fields of intercultural health, development, and the rights of Indigenous women.   Their conversation explores migration not only as physical movement, but as rupture and transformation. Born to parents who migrated for work and later forced to leave Bolivia to escape violent abuse, Nidia reflects on how family migration shapes identity across generations and how displacement, trauma, and spiritual meaning intersect. Her story reveals how survival can become a pathway toward healing, both for oneself and for others.   Nidia's professional work mirrors these themes. She has conducted research on traditional women healers, the use of natural resources, and information and communication technologies for the empowerment of Indigenous women, as well as on tambos and the Qhapaq Ñan. She currently serves as a Program Officer at the Pawanka Fund for the Arctic, Pacific, and Eurasia regions, and is responsible for the traditional medicine laboratory GAIA-TERRA. She is also CEO of DREAMCO SRL and the Cruz del Sur Foundation, and has collaborated widely with international organizations and feminist and Indigenous networks to strengthen initiatives related to traditional medicine, cultural heritage, and the preservation of ancestral knowledge.   Nidia's reflections echo key findings of the JLI–Christian Aid evidence review, which shows that faith and spirituality shape how people interpret displacement and that resilience often takes forms that policy and humanitarian systems struggle to recognize, including emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions. Her life story gives human form to these insights, illustrating how loss, movement, and meaning are deeply intertwined.   Rather than a formal interview, this episode is a listening dialogue about what it means to leave home, to survive violence, and to transform pain into care. It is also a conversation about knowledge, memory, and the enduring role of ancestral wisdom in times of upheaval.

On the agenda: a quickfire review of Arsenal 2 Manchester United 3, unacceptably-named Premier League top scorers in football-adjacent Danny Dyer film trailers, the prospect of an FA Cup "anthem", 12.1 seconds of a commentator not realising a team have scored and unexpected ex-Prime Ministers in the Kenyan fifth division. Meanwhile, the panel speculate on how a mundane, single-goal, mid-table game could get itself first in the Match of the Day running order.

Health care attorney Dennis Hursh discusses his article "wRVU threshold risks in physician contracts." Dennis explains the critical distinction between a guaranteed salary and a draw against future earnings where failure to meet production targets can lead to clawbacks. The discussion covers how employers often set unrealistic wRVU thresholds that exceed historical data or MGMA benchmarks while failing to provide adequate marketing support to meet those goals. Dennis highlights the importance of ensuring new physicians have guaranteed income during their ramp-up period and warns against contract language that credits productivity only when billed rather than when services are rendered. Listen to learn how to protect your financial future by identifying and negotiating these treacherous contract provisions before signing on the dotted line. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Immigration is often treated as a moral slogan rather than a system with limits. This episode examines assimilation as a rate-dependent process, asking what happens when societies absorb newcomers faster than shared norms can form. It explores culture, scale, and history to explain why cohesion depends on expectations, enforcement, and clear thinking about tradeoffs...
