NOTE: This episode was originally released as a Patreon-exclusive bonus. For more episodes like this, please join The War on Cars on Patreon. We're an independent podcast and rely on listener support. Thanks! Marco te Brömmelstroet, also known as "The Fietsprofessor," returns to The War on Cars to discuss a new study he co-authored with Dr. Ian Walker, another former guest of the podcast. The study takes a look at a phenomenon where people accept the harms and risks associated with cars in ways they wouldn't in other areas of life. But unlike Dr. Walker's previoius study — and that of Dr. Tara Goddard, another friend of The War on Cars — this new study asks where motonormativity comes from and examines the ways in which it manifests itself differently depending on factors such as where a person lives or their perceptions of the beliefs of their friends and family. The results are fascinating. Marco also studies language and how it affects people's perceptions of mobility and had a lot to say about how we can tell better stories about who and what our streets are for. ***Our new book, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile, will be published on October 21, 2025 by Thesis, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Pre-order now.*** This episode was produced with the generous support of the Helen & William Mazer Foundation.

Our SUGi Forest Maker Brett Krause grew up on a sawmill in Northern Queensland. Witnessing deforestation and the destruction of habitats, he was inspired to be part of the solution. Upon discovering the Miyawaki Method of creating rapid-growth biodiverse native forests, Brett set about on a mission to restore habitat for endangered species, like the extraordinary Cassowary and the Mahogany Glider.Since 2014, and with our support, he's been establishing biodiversity corridors in farm-degraded rural areas.In this episode of SUGi Talks, we'll speak about how he went from growing up on a sawmill witnessing deforestation, to now leading the way on Miyawaki Forest building in Northern Queensland.

Send us a textYour body is constantly talking to you—a hidden conversation happening beneath your conscious awareness. Yet in our neck-up, screen-focused world, we've disembodied ourselves from this essential wisdom. Meet Alexis, a transformation coach and founder of Soul Sway, who transitioned from working with A-list celebrities in entertainment to helping women globally reclaim their authentic power.During this captivating live conversation, Alexis takes us through her own "U-turn" moments—those profound wake-up calls that forced her to reevaluate everything. From childhood trauma where her emotional expression was invalidated during a family tragedy to hitting multiple rock bottoms including cancer and postpartum depression, she reveals how these experiences became doorways to transformation rather than destinations of despair.The most striking revelation? Everyone has some form of addiction. Whether it's scrolling social media, overworking, food behaviors, or the constant need for external validation—these patterns stem from what Alexis calls "untreated shame." Like cockroaches that scatter when exposed to light, shame thrives only in secrecy until we shine awareness upon it. True sobriety isn't just about substances but about awakening to these unconscious patterns and bringing them into consciousness through embodied awareness. As Alexis powerfully states, "If you don't have freedom in your body, you're never going to have freedom in your life." What would your body say if it could speak? This question alone might be the beginning of your own transformative U-turn.Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

The Seerah (biography) of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) is a key reading for all Muslims. However, many view it through a lens that misses its essence. Sami Hamdi explains how we need to rethink how we view Seerah so that we can internalise it in our lives.Also, for the past 16 months, we all know how difficult it has been for food and essential supplies to reach the beleaguered people of Gaza. This, Insha'Allah, is changing. We have partnered with a charity, Baitulmaal, because now, more than ever, there is a need not only in Gaza but also in Turkish controlled Northern Syria and in all the places we routinely talk about in this program where our ummah is subject to abject poverty. We have chosen this charity because Baitulmaal is a non-profit with people on the ground who organize well-thought-out projects and serve the most needy.To donate to their Critical Aid campaign, please visit the link on our screen now and in the description. Please do remember that charity never reduces our risk and gives Barakah to our wealth.You can find Sami Hamdi here:X: https://x.com/SALHACHIMIIG: https://www.instagram.com/salhachimiLet me remind all viewers that to help us continue to engage critical thought at this time, Please consider becoming a Patron. https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslimYou can also support The Thinking Muslim through a one-time donation: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/DonateListen to the audio version of the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comPurchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merchFind us on:Squarespace Membership: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membershipTwitter: https://twitter.com/thinking_muslimFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslimBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.socialHost: https://twitter.com/jalalaynHost IG: https://www.instagram.com/jalalayns/Website Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com Hosted on Acast.

The discussion centers on understanding and healing core emotional wounds through the placement of Chiron in one's astrological birth chart. Lisa explains how Chiron's placement can reveal specific vulnerabilities and recurring patterns in our lives, and offers insights into how individuals can begin their healing journey. The conversation also touches on the concept of "psychoastrology," which combines astrology with personal psychology, and the importance of self-awareness and self-compassion in the healing process.

The Weekly Tradecast dives into the benefits and potential of seaweed with UN Trade and Development lawyer David Vivas. Climate change is affecting harvests around the globe. But seaweed is one of the few food crops that have a positive effect on the environment.    It's also high in protein, making it a promising substitute for meat and an even more sustainable alternative than soya.   Seaweed also has potential in pharmaceuticals and as a substitute for some plastics, reducing the use of fossil fuels that are a main cause of climate change.   To find out more, listen in to UN Trade and Development's David Vivas for how this versatile plant could transform many parts of our lives.

What if we could grow organs tailored for a specific person's body or develop energy far more abundant, reliable, and inexpensive than anything we've ever had before?Could we create technology that boosts national security and possibly makes world peace more likely?Those goals may seem like science fiction but they are very real and muchcloser to reality than many of us realize. And they're happening in outer space.Today, Sara welcomes Mike Gold, Chief Growth Officer at Redwire. He is also the former NASA Associate Administrator for Space Policy and Partnerships among many other roles there. Mr. Gold is relentlessly optimistic about the flood of innovation in space that will change our lives here on Earth.Gold tells Sara about the huge potential to end the current practice of waiting on others to die in hopes of getting an organ transplant. Instead, he says custom-made organs could be made for people in space. Gold says there is already tremendous progress on growing other types of human tissue, and he explains why there is so much more promise for this technology by doing it in space.In addition to organs, Gold says space is also where we're going to develop more effective medication for everything from insulin to cancer drugs.Sara also gets Gold's thoughts on the unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) better known as UFO's, whether he believes intelligent life has visited us, and why the process of investigating that question could bring us even more amazing innovations.Finally, they discuss how all of this groundbreaking research is happening through very close partnership between the federal government and the private sector.With so much bad news on this planet. knowing what life-changing improvements may be just around the corner, is reason for optimism.Thanks for being a part of the Sara Carter Show.Time stamps:0:05 Are we on the brink of massive technological change?2:56 Mike Gold joins the Sara Carter Show4:49 Space exploration unites us7:42 Space Force is very important10:11 Are we doing enough?15:53 We could get blown up right now...18:33 Inside the Artemis accords21:34 3D printing organs in space25:38 Working with other corporations27:27 UAP latest34:45 Where do we go from here?Please visit our great sponsors:Goldcohttp://saralikesgold.comGet your free gold kit today and learn how to get $10,000 in bonus silver. My Pillowhttps://mypillow.comUse code CARTER for $25 prices and free shipping on orders over $75.

Mark 7:1-23This passage can be broken down into three parts:1. The Need For Transformation 2. The Means We Try and Transform Our Lives3. Jesus' Way of Transformation Quote: “The perceived distance and difficulty of entering fully into the divine world and its life are due entirely to our failure to understand that “the way in” is the way of pervasive inner transformation and to our failure to take the small steps that quietly and certainly lead to it.” - Dallas WillardPoint 1: New Heart -- Psalm 51:5-10Point 2: Word of God > Tradition of MenPoint 3: Undivided Heart-- Matthew 6:19-21

Welcome back to the first episode of the year, with Alan Questel.  Alan is a renown Feldenkrais practitioner, teacher and author.  I found my conversation with him to be both enjoyable and deeply fascinating.  I loved where the conversation went.  Alan's wisdom, authenticity and generosity added so much value to this episode.  In the beginning of our conversation we delved into a myriad of thought-provoking topics inspired by Charles Bukowski's assertion that we often fail to be good to one another. We explored the environmental factors contributing to this phenomenon and how our self-image, deeply intertwined with our self-regard, plays a crucial role. An intriguing discussion began to unfold around the transformative power of physical movement and its impact on our self-perception, emphasizing the importance of moving in ways that resonate positively with us.We then navigate the paradox of finding it easier to extend kindness to others than to ourselves, underscoring the value of small acts of kindness in enhancing how we feel about ourselves. The conversation shifts to practical steps one can take to aid others and how these actions can catalyze personal growth. We dissect the notion that kindness often starts with small gestures and reflect on the ways we are already kind in our daily lives.Further, we examine how movement influences our thoughts and feelings, with a focus on its fundamental role in all our actions. The episode highlights the contrasting perspectives of observers and doers, proposing that kindness is born from action, which is inherently linked to movement.We then shifted the conversation to focus on the things we excel at in our daily routines and how mastering small tasks provides the confidence to tackle larger challenges. The discussion moves to the timeframe required for change, the significance of being present in the moment, and the positive impact of reducing self-criticism.The episode also offers insights into moments of self-reflection, strategies for evolving into the person we aspire to be in a year, and the potential within us. We delve into the pitfalls of the comparing mind, the tension between reality and expectations, and the quest for purpose.In another highly interesting shift, we explore Milton Erickson's work on Ericksonian Hypnosis, its implications on depression and perceived lack of choice, and the actions that can lead to meaningful change. We discuss demonstrations of agency, engagement, performance, and the innovative approach of learning differently.The conversation takes a deeper turn into understanding the context of 'no context', the issues with the 'just do it' mentality, and the art of tolerating discomfort. We examine the impact of false beliefs and how stress can surprisingly offer benefits. This leads to a discussion on the misconception of overnight success and the reality of success being decades in the making.The episode wraps up with an encouragement to give a bit more in everything we do, introducing our listeners to Alan Questel's insightful work. We highlight his website www.practicing-kindness.com and his book “Practice Intentional Acts of Kindness,” which provide valuable resources for those looking to delve deeper into these themes.This episode is a rich tapestry of ideas and insights, inviting listeners to reflect, move, and grow in kindness towards themselves and others. It's a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the intricate relationship between our actions, our self-image, and the kindness we extend to the world.Thank you for listening, enjoy! Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

As highly sensitive people, we have a natural capacity for empathy and compassion, but this sensitivity can also leave us feeling overwhelmed, drained, or disconnected from our own needs and well-being. Whether you're new to the concept of ahimsa or a seasoned yoga practitioner, we hope you'll find inspiration and guidance in today's episode. Sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the power of non-harming for HSP wellness warriors and how it can help us navigate the unique challenges of being an HSP.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hspwellnesswarriors/message

What was the last experience of awe you had? How did it feel in your body? There is fascinating research to show that awe is a transformative emotion, it connects us to each other and makes us happier and healthier. What's so cool about this is that awe isn't just found when we have an experience like seeing the vastness of the Grand Canyon or the vibrant beauty of a Van Gogh painting. It's found in everyday moments: observing a child learning something new, hearing the first few notes of your favorite song on the radio, the pattern of the clouds on your drive home from work. We can cultivate awe in our lives, and the key is paying attention. I'd love it if you would share with me your experiences of awe, big and small.

Gratitude is a virtue that can transform every situation we encounter. But we have to practice it to experience that transformation. We are going to work on developing a theology of gratitude by looking at five different examples of people in the Bible who were able to give thanks in difficult circumstances, and we'll see that we can do the same.

Last week in the Cold, we talked a bit about how huge adventures and calamities, like wars, for instance, are a breeding ground for coincidences and other extraordinary sequences of events. It's a big topic with so much to unpack, and it's well-worth expanding on. Only this week, I want us to approach it a little bit differently. I want to delve into how chance encounters, those little occurrences that happen in our day to day lives and can appear insignificant, can also utterly change our destinies. And the way fiction, when it's done right, not only mimics these uncanny developments, but wraps them in mystery and fantasy. It can make us believe in miracles and even shoot for the stars.

Welcome to The Fully Lived Life podcast! A podcast for those who are longing to pursue the full life and want to break free from anything that holds them back. Listen in as two friends - a psychologist, Dr. Merry and a life coach, Gillian - talk about life, love and purpose - with wisdom, humour and transparency -  through the lens of science, psychology, and life experiences. Do you think about thinking? Dr. Merry and Gillian talk about the power of our thinking and discuss the damage that A.N.T.s (Automatic Negative Thoughts) can have in our lives. Gillian (Stella) takes on the role of lab rat in this episode and plays along with Dr. Merry to demonstrate how our thinking lives matter to how we show up in the world. How can we use our thought life to change our experience of life? Our ruminating thoughts can focus on positive or negative thoughts and shape our experience. Where do you fall on this spectrum? Our thoughts move us toward our actions - so do your thoughts move you positively or negatively? Dr. Merry walks us through the neuroscience that helps us understand how chemicals are released in the brain and the ensuing effect on our thoughts and actions. What are your practices to frame and reframe your thoughts? Dr. Merry and Gillian both share how they address their shame and fear based thoughts and reframe them. Some guiding principle to help you reframe your thoughts: Pay attention to your thought life (leverage your emotions to help you) Notice when you have a negative thought- be specific Reframe your thinking Refuse to give ground to that negative thought On a daily basis flood your mind with positive and good thoughts Get an accountability partner to help you move forward.

In this episode, Rebecca Boskovic shares her perspective on the achievement of beauty. It's an inside job by walking the path of truth and courage. Ever since she was 5 years old, Rebecca was very aware of her “own thinking”. Being very self-aware she learned how to process her feelings at a young age. But then as she grew older, especially when she hit adolescence, self-consciousness crept in. She started questioning herself. Stopped looking inward. And in high school, as is the case with many teens, the need for approval from others became prominent in Rebecca's life. She was more worried about what people thought of her. Everything was outside in and she found herself trying to appease the world, giving up who she was for others. She found herself in a pitched cacophony. Rebecca's big “Aha” occurred early on in college when her therapist asked a pointed question that shifted her whole perspective on herself, life, and the world. From that point onward she approached life and decisions as to what she wanted from the inside out with greater clarity.   Show Notes: Listen in to hear about her philosophy on fitness and whole-body health. What's involved in the achievement of wholeness and beauty. How to love the body you have while simultaneously seeking the body you desire and much more such as: 1.  Her perspective on Truth, Courage, Beauty 2.  Optimal health is not about what you look like, but rather how you feel 3.  Achievement of beauty - learn to love yourself and tend to your soul 4.  Beauty is dynamic – slightly imperfect 5.  Our life stories inform our path and purpose 6.  Confidence leads to beauty and strength 7.  The impact of adolescence 8.  Importance of awareness regarding our "Self Talk" 9. What to do when you have reached all your physical goals and still feel empty 10. Important questions to ask yourself:       - Do I really want this?       - How do you know what other people think of you?" 11. AHA Moments that cause us to pivot 12. We're all part of a great human body 13. "You were born perfect" 14. Be the tortoise and just show up every day   Favorite Book: Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives by Tim Harford   Website and Contact Info: https://www.thefittestme.net/ Strength for Life Podcast: https://www.thefittestme.net/sfl-podcast   More Info: Rebecca lives a life infused by the love of…and in loving…her husband and four children ages 15, 12, 8, and 5. Her happiest moments are spent on picnics with her family, in watching her children grow and mature, and when a client discovers they're stronger than they'd ever imagined they'd be. A lifelong seeker of truth, beauty, and courage . . . Rebecca believes that the best things in life include all three. In her current endeavor to launch her personal training studio in Suwanee, GA, she helps clients who are looking for that personal touch in achieving their fitness goals. She understands that for lasting change to take place in someone's fitness goals, we also need to tend to how we see and feel about ourselves. Her ultimate goal for her clients is for them to see transformations at not only the physical level but the mental and emotional as well. Rebecca is the founder and CEO of The Fittest Me – a personal training and nutrition studio and digital site focused on whole-body health. She also has a podcast called Strength for Life.   Music by Jonn Serrie Intro and Outro music composed and recorded by Jonn Serrie.

Writing to heal has been an important part of my personal journey for about 25 years now. As I've become more honest with myself about my own life and learned to see the silver linings (the gifts of learning, knowledge, wisdom and growth in every experience and every choice), I have healed emotionally and physically in ways that still astonish me. I have come to see the world through eyes of love, and that's a very long way from the poor me, ain't it awful perspective I had most of my life. Writing pieces like this and my silver lining stories for my radio show have helped me tell the story of my own abuse, illness and loss. Although my intention was always to help my readers and listeners to develop new ways of thinking, somewhere along the way I discovered that the stories were also the ones I needed to tell for my own healing. Truly a win-win. Please join us Thursday to learn how you can consciously use writing your story to heal your life.
