In this episode of Transformative Principle, Jethro Jones sits down with Jonathan Wennstrom, principal of Rosedale Elementary in Livonia, Michigan, to discuss the power of school-wide weekly meetings. Jonathan shares how he launched "Celebrate Monday" assemblies — 20-minute, student-centered gatherings held every Monday morning to kick off the week with positivity and purpose. Inspired by ideas from fellow educators Sean Gallardo and Jessica Bartha, Jonathan walks through how these assemblies work, what they include (pledges, literacy shares, themed videos, and calls to action), and how they've transformed school culture by reducing behavior referrals and building community. He also shares practical advice on logistics, staff buy-in, parent communication, and planning themes aligned with character education — all while emphasizing that the assemblies are just the spark, and the real magic happens in the classroom.

This episode considers how until modern times, people have relied on ritual practices to heal the wounds of culture, draw upon the renewing energies of nature and rejuvenate the life of both individuals and the community. Ritual gives a place for constricting attitudes to loosen, for emotions to flow and for the reservoir of genuine hope to renew.     Creative rituals can help release the burdens of our lives and can remove ego attitudes that block the flow of feelings and vital energy. Transformative rituals have the capacity to reconnect our minds and hearts in ways that reduce fear and anxiety and ease the grief of isolation.     On the ground of ritual, undiscovered parts of ourselves can awaken and strengthen our sense of meaning and purpose in life. All the arts were originally used as vehicles of vision and aspects of ritual and ritual is its own expressive art. In drawing upon the primal elements of nature and the inspiration of spirit, we can access spontaneous sources of healing, vision and renewal for both the individual and the community.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

In this episode of Please Me! Podcast, Eve dives into the provocative world of ethical gender play and doll play with professional dominatrix and kink educator Lady Veronika Kestrel. Together, they unpack how BDSM and intentional kink can become powerful tools for self-discovery, gender exploration, erotic transformation, and personal empowerment. This conversation explores the psychology behind dollification, sissy play, dominance and submission, humiliation, affirmation, consent, and the emotional impact of gendered power dynamics within kink spaces. Lady Veronika shares how ethical gender play can help people better understand identity, embodiment, fantasy, and self-expression while challenging shame, stigma, and outdated ideas around femininity and masculinity. Eve and Lady Veronika also discuss the transformative nature of doll play, the importance of boundaries and intentionality in BDSM, and how kink can be used to build people up rather than tear them down. From fetish culture and trans identity to conscious kink practices and erotic self-acceptance, this episode offers a thoughtful and deeply intimate look into modern BDSM dynamics. Perfect for listeners curious about kink education, BDSM relationships, doll play, feminization, gender expression, power exchange, consent, sexual empowerment, and alternative intimacy.

Mirabai Starr is an award-winning author, internationally acclaimed speaker, and interspiritual teacher. She gives talks, retreats and workshops on the teachings of the mystics, the wisdom of the feminine, and contemplative practice, rooted in the transformational power of grief and loss. As a teenager, Mirabai lived at the Lama Foundation, an intentional spiritual community that has honored all the world's faith traditions since its inception in 1967, and the place where Ram Dass' iconic book, Be Here Now, was born. This ecumenical orientation became formative in the universal quality that permeates Mirabai's work. She was an adjunct professor of Philosophy and World Religions at the University of New Mexico-Taos for 20 years. Her emphasis has always been on making connections between the perennial teachings found at the heart of all the world's spiritual paths, in an effort to promote peace and justice. Mirabai lives in the mountains of New Mexico with her husband, Jeff Little (Ganga Das). Between them, they have four grown daughters and eight grandchildren. Mirabai's youngest daughter, Jenny, was killed in a car crash in 2001 at the age of fourteen. On that same day, her first book, a translation of the mystical masterpiece Dark Night of the Soul by the sixteenth century Spanish saint John of the Cross, was released. This experience, and the connection between profound loss and longing for the Divine, is the ground of her spiritual life. Drawing from 20 years of teaching Philosophy and World Religions and a lifetime of practice, Mirabai shares her wisdom worldwide on contemplative living, writing as a spiritual practice, and grief as a spiritual path. She has authored over a dozen books including Wild Mercy, Caravan of No Despair, Ordinary Mysticism, and revolutionary translations of sacred literature.

Mike Caldwell sits down with Bill Knous, Senior Director of Quality and Growth at the Colorado League of Charter Schools and co-founder of Gran Via, a micro school in the Denver area. Bill shares his winding path into education — from a history degree and living abroad in Australia and Spain, to teaching multilingual learners in Denver and Philly, to leading classrooms and schools in Colombia. He and his wife co-founded Gran Via in 2020, growing it from six students to 30 while navigating a patchwork of micro-school funding in Colorado. Bill makes a passionate case for scrapping seat-time requirements as the primary accountability metric, arguing the system is designed for adult compliance rather than student motivation. He also reflects on what gives him hope — a rising generation of learners who experienced the pandemic and are pushing back on the one-size-fits-all model. The episode closes with Bill's take on transformative leadership: the ability to influence and motivate a diverse group of people around a singular mission.

Episode 400 marks a major milestone for The Aging Well Podcast—and an opportunity to reflect on what we've learned from hundreds of conversations with leading experts in health, longevity, mindset, and purpose.In this special episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and co-host Corbin Bruton explore the evolution from simply “aging well” to embracing transformative aging—a deeper, more intentional approach to how we grow older. They revisit powerful ideas from past guests, including concepts like “pace of aging,” “purposeful social engagement,” “joyspan,” and the challenge of becoming “comfortable being uncomfortable.”This conversation also connects the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of aging, highlighting the role of the SPIES model and the emerging idea of the “transcendent self.”If you've ever wondered what it really means to not just live longer—but to live better, fuller, and more meaningfully—this episode brings together 400 episodes of wisdom into one powerful reflection.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Dr. Sherri Greene. The two talk about the evolution of Dr. Sherri Greene's career from traditional podiatric surgery to pioneering a practice that fuses Eastern and Western medicine, the unique challenges women leaders face in maintaining energy and health, and practical steps anyone can take for true restorative wellness. In this episode, we discuss: How confusing and overwhelming the current health and nutrition landscape can be, especially given conflicting information from both experts and social media. What practical steps women can take to maintain energy and wellness as leaders, including the importance of hydration, balanced nutrition (especially fruit and leafy greens), and listening to one's own body. When Dr. Sherri Greene made her significant career pivot, from a gradual early shift to a major transformation around 2016. Why many women leaders struggle with constant fatigue, health shifts due to menopause, and the challenge of balancing personal well-being with multiple responsibilities. How following your inner calling, even if it's different from the norm, can be essential for fulfillment and making an impact, especially for women leaders. Dr. Sherri Joy Greene is a podiatric physician, surgeon, and restorative medicine specialist who has spent over 33 years helping people find answers that conventional medicine couldn't provide. What began as a classically trained surgical career evolved into something far more expansive — a practice built on uncovering the root causes behind chronic pain, mystery illness, autoimmune conditions, and the kind of exhaustion that high-achieving people learn to hide. Her journey hasn't been only clinical. Like many of the patients she now serves, Dr. Greene faced her own health challenges — and those years of searching, discovering, and ultimately healing became the foundation of everything she does today. She understands what it means to keep showing up professionally while quietly struggling, and that lived experience infuses her work with a depth of compassion that goes far beyond the medical. Drawing on training in functional nutrition, functional medicine, craniosacral therapy, Reiki, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and energy medicine — woven together with decades of clinical science — she helps people navigate the overwhelming, often conflicting landscape of health information to find a path that actually works for them. Dr. Greene is the co-founder of Ask the Docs, an educational platform supporting both practitioners and patients in bridging conventional and integrative approaches to healing. She is passionate about empowering people — especially driven, accomplished women — to stop white-knuckling their way through their days and start building a life rooted in genuine, sustainable health. Her message is simple: you are not broken, you are not alone, and healing is possible. Social Media Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sherri-greene-9114381ab/    

In this episode, host Jethro interviews Robert Dillon, author and director of Bright Bytes, about the transformative power of learning spaces. Robert argues that reimagining physical classroom environments is one of the few true "big levers" of disruption in education — alongside grades and schedules. The conversation covers practical, low-cost strategies for redesigning spaces, including removing clutter, adding writable surfaces, varying seating arrangements, and leveraging hallways. Robert emphasizes designing with students rather than for them, using a phased purchasing approach (30/40/30), and embracing iteration over perfection. The episode also touches on the cultural shifts that come when spaces signal something different — making learning feel like a place where process matters more than product, and where hard work can actually be fun.

What if flow, insight, and mystical experience are different scales of the same underlying process? In this standalone Lectern episode, John Vervaeke speaks with Hüseyin and Daniel about their recently published paper on the cognitive continuum: a framework that moves from fluency to insight, flow, mystical experience, and transformation. The discussion develops Vervaeke's earlier work on relevance realization by bringing it into dialogue with the enactive approach, complex dynamic systems theory, and contemporary psychedelic research. The episode begins with the enactive critique of a simple subject-object split. Daniel explains why both self and world are groundless in the enactive sense: not nonexistent, but not pregiven independent substances either. Self and world arise relationally through embodied sensemaking. This matters because mystical experiences often involve a loosening or collapse of the ordinary self-world boundary. Hüseyin then walks through the paper's core argument. Fluency is reframed as a local form of attunement, not merely ease of information processing. Insight becomes a more global reorganization of the system. Flow becomes an insight cascade: a temporally extended state of metastable attunement. Mystical experience becomes the most global state on the continuum, where the deepest structures of self-world organization can be destabilized and reorganized. The conversation also makes a strong ethical point. Experiences that loosen ordinary constraints are not automatically good. Psychedelic states, mystical experiences, contemplative practices, and mindfulness can create epistemic vulnerability. Depending on context, they can become transformative, but they can also lead to derealization, depersonalization, false insight, spiritual bypassing, narcissism, or psychosis. Integration, practices, ethical frameworks, communities, and traditions matter because transformation is not produced by the state alone. Key Insights Mystical experience cannot be adequately explained by neurobiology alone. Enactivism challenges both naive realism and idealism by treating cognition as embodied, embedded, and relational. Relevance realization and sensemaking converge around a shared account of how cognition finds and enacts significance. Fluency is a domain-general feeling of attunement with the world. Insight is not only a representational shift; it can be a reorganization of the person-world system. Flow can be understood as a cascade of insights sustained through metastable attunement. Mystical experience may involve a globalized form of relevance realization, or even the release of relevance realization's ordinary grasping. Transformative experience requires more than destabilization; it requires viable reorganization. Context, set, setting, integration, ethical orientation, and community shape whether self-transcendent experiences help or harm. Scientific work on these topics needs reflexivity because research itself participates in the world it describes.

Learn what happens when the executive accountable for data strategy is also the executive accountable for the business results that depend on it. Saugata Saha, President of S&P Global Market Intelligence and Chief Enterprise Data Officer at S&P Global, shares how he manages one of the world's largest financial data estates while driving business outcomes across public and private markets. He breaks down the four pillars of S&P Global's data strategy, the federated organizational model that connects data teams to business value, and why capturing ROI from AI requires deliberate workflow transformation. Key Moments Why Data Strategy Must Follow Business Strategy (04:57): Saugata challenges the idea that data and business strategy can run in parallel. Market trends, customer pain points, and existing capabilities must come first. Building an AI-Ready Financial Data Estate (15:10): Scale alone does not create intelligence. Saugata explains why semantic layers and graph databases are the hard work behind connected financial data. How AI Compresses Post-Acquisition Data Integration (18:29): Manual reconciliation of millions of records is no longer the only path. Discover how AI entity matching accelerated post-acquisition integration. The Federated Model That Connects Data to Value (22:49): Most large organizations either over-centralize data teams or leave them too embedded to scale. Saugata outlines the federated model that actually bridges both. Rethinking AI Productivity: From Marginal to Transformative (28:29): Most AI programs stop at training and tooling. Saugata explains why deliberately redesigning workflows is the missing step between AI investment and real ROI. Key Quotes “Data strategy and business strategy have to be very tightly connected. And if they're not, that's when value capture does not happen. In fact, I would go so far as to say data strategy actually follows from business strategy.” - Saugata Saha “Stop treating data as an afterthought or byproduct, but start thinking about data as a key ingredient for value creation and competitive advantage.” - Saugata Saha “We don't want everybody to become 10% more productive, because that's a little squishy. We want 10% of the people to become a hundred percent more productive so they can do other things.” - Saugata Saha “If a company can really use data at scale for better decision making, better client service, [and] better outcomes, that creates a lasting edge over the competition.” - Saugata Saha Mentions S&P Global Agrees to Acquire With Intelligence from Motive Partners for $1.8 Billion, Establishing Its Leadership in Private Markets Intelligence The Data & AI Chief: Why a Federated Data Team is Crucial for Business Value, with Dow Private Companies Wait Too Long to Go Public The Lex Fridman Podcast Guest Bios  Saugata serves as President of S&P Global Market Intelligence, leading the division's efforts to deliver essential insights and intelligence to clients worldwide. He is also S&P Global's Chief Enterprise Data Officer, responsible for driving innovation and excellence in the company's enterprise data strategy. Saugata is a member of S&P Global's Executive Leadership Team, contributing to the strategic direction and growth of the organization. Before joining S&P Global, Saugata was a consultant at McKinsey & Company's New York office, where he advised clients on strategy, mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, and operational improvements across various industries, with a strong focus on financial services.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Dr. Sheila Gujrathi, a powerhouse physician and biotech entrepreneur who reached the top of the corporate ladder only to find an "inner glass ceiling" made of fear. Despite an elite career at McKinsey and Genentech, Sheila realized her greatest battles were internal. In this episode, she breaks down the roadmap from her book, The Mirror Effect: A Transformative Approach to Growth for the Next Generation of Female Leaders, revealing how high-achievers can dismantle the hidden fears that sabotage their success. If you've ever felt like an impostor while winning, this conversation will show you how to finally flip the script.

In this episode of the Transformative Leadership Summit, Jethro sits down with Kyle Palmer, principal of Lewis and Clark Elementary, to explore how school leaders can develop teacher leaders and build a culture of trust and innovation. Kyle shares the story of how his school evolved from a single maker space initiative—sparked by library teacher Angela Rosheim's genius hour instruction—into a school-wide culture of student-centered learning, STEM integration through Project Lead The Way (PLTW), and maker spaces throughout the building. Central to the conversation is Kyle's philosophy of tight/loose leadership: being firm on learning outcomes and collaborative team expectations while giving teachers genuine autonomy in how they get there. He discusses the power of highly functioning PLCs, the importance of developing leaders (not just followers—a concept drawn from John Maxwell), and why trust, listening, and consistent feedback are the keys to empowering staff. Kyle leaves principals with a simple but powerful action step: go ask your best teachers what they think.

In this 'From the Vault' episode of the Transformative Leadership Summit, Jethro sits down with Kimberly Miles, principal of East Gresham Elementary School, to explore her remarkable approach to reading as a leadership practice. Kimberly shares how she strategically selects books — only picking them up after hearing multiple recommendations — and then digs deep using a layered annotation system of underlining, highlighting, color-coded tabs, and 3x5 index card summaries she keeps on hand for professional conversations. She discusses why leaders need to be diverse readers beyond education titles, how she uses books like Make It Stick and Thomas Friedman's work to broaden her thinking, and why she spent two years reading a single book with her staff — and why that was the right call. Whether it's leading book clubs with her leadership team, reading alongside her own adult children, or listening to audiobooks on her commute, Kimberly makes the case that intentional, slow, deep reading is one of the most powerful tools a leader can have.

"Birth is not just about having a baby; it's about becoming a mother." - Erica Paulson   Erica Paulson is the founder and CEO of Nurture, a company dedicated to maternal care, with nearly two decades of experience as a doula trainer and childbirth educator. She is a certified doula, clinical hypnotherapist, and prenatal bonding specialist. Erica has supported over 1,000 families in their childbirth journeys, blending science and soul to transform the birthing experience. An advocate for maternal health and an award-winning poet, she was named Ohio Poet of the Year in 2022, embodying the profound and human nature of birth.   Episode Summary: In this episode of All My Health, There's Hope, host Jana Short sits down with Erica Paulson, a pioneering force in maternal care and the visionary founder of Nurture. With a deep commitment to maternal health, Erica shares her transformative journey from experiencing a traumatic first birth to becoming an empowered advocate for mothers and families. As an experienced doula and prenatal bonding specialist, Erica offers unique insights into the birthing process, emphasizing the importance of having a supportive community and personalized care. Throughout the conversation, Jana and Erica delve into the role of doulas in contemporary maternal care, highlighting the emotional and physical support they provide before, during, and after birth.

Her dedication to creating nurturing environments for all mothers, regardless of their birthing journey, is underscored by her call for more accessible doula services and maternal health support.   Key Takeaways: Empowered Birth Experience: Erica emphasizes that birth is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Empowering mothers through personalized support, regardless of how or where they give birth, leads to a more positive experience. The Role of Doulas: Doulas provide crucial support by demystifying the birthing process, offering emotional and physical assistance, and advocating for mothers' needs throughout the journey. Prenatal Bonding: Building a connection with the baby before birth is essential. Engaging in activities that promote bonding can facilitate a stronger connection after birth. Flexible Birth Plans: Having a birth plan is important, but flexibility is key. Understanding that babies may have plans of their own helps create a more adaptable, stress-free experience. The Importance of Postpartum Support: Continued support is crucial for new mothers' well-being, ensuring they feel supported during the transition period after birth.   Resources: https://www.welcometonurture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nurturecincy/ https://www.facebook.com/nurturecincy   ✨ Enjoying the show?
