Early life trauma can leave lasting imprints on the brain, body, and emotional health well into later life, but healing is possible at any age. In this episode of Growing Older Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch speaks with memoirist and wellness practitioner, Wendy Correa about adverse childhood experiences, intergenerational trauma, and the profound healing power of self-awareness and creative expression. Wendy shares how writing her memoir, My Pretty Baby, became both a personal reckoning and a path to liberation. This conversation explores how movement, mindfulness, storytelling, and truth-telling can rewire resilience, restore joy, and help us age with purpose rather than pain. Wendy Correa is a writer, yoga practitioner, hiker, and licensed massage therapist with a background spanning film, television, radio, and music production in Los Angeles and Aspen. She holds bachelor's degrees in psychology and theater arts and is now based in Denver, Colorado. Her debut memoir, My Pretty Baby: Seeking Truth and Finding Healing, chronicles her journey of healing from childhood trauma through embodiment, creativity, and mindfulness, demonstrating that it is never too late to reclaim vitality and joy.  Episode Timeline  00:00 – Welcome and framing the conversation - Dr. Gillian Lockitch introduces the episode's focus on healing adverse childhood experiences and rewiring resilience later in life.  04:56 – The origin of the title My Pretty Baby - Wendy explains how a seemingly small childhood moment revealed a foundational family wound.  06:30 – Why publish a memoir at 69 - Choosing motherhood, life experience, and readiness over urgency and timing.  10:38 – Memory, trauma, and vivid recall - Why traumatic experiences are often remembered with intense clarity.  11:52 – Sense memory and embodied recall - How acting training and sensory awareness unlocked unprocessed grief and anger.  16:03 – Unacknowledged grief and lifelong impact - The consequences of losing a parent in childhood without emotional support.  19:17 – Emotional memory versus happy memory - Why fear-based experiences often imprint more deeply than joy.  21:37 – Understanding the ACE Study -An overview of adverse childhood experiences and their long-term health effects.  22:02 – Trauma, biology, and the nervous system  How early stress reshapes the brain, immune system, and stress response.  24:45 – Healing modalities that restore resilience  Yoga, meditation, sobriety, psychotherapy, creativity, and chosen community.  27:12 – Transformative encounters and human kindness  Stories of meaningful interactions that reinforced worth and belonging.  30:18 – Finding a publisher and reclaiming voice  How women-centered publishing empowered Wendy to share her truth.  34:45 – Becoming a cycle breaker  Why healing personal trauma can ripple outward to families and society.   Resources & Links Mentioned  My Pretty Baby: Seeking Truth and Finding Healing is her debut book.

In this episode of the Bear Grease podcast, Clay Newcomb interviews Ty Evans, one of the country’s top mule trainers and clinicians. After a broken femur in the arena benched Ty’s rodeo career, he began studying a different approach to training horses and mules than the "Cowboy Way". One based not on brute force, but on trust and understanding how animals actually think. What he discovered taught him that sometimes the solution to problems isn't doing more of the same, but adopting an entirely new way of seeing the world.

In this episode of Reject the Premise, Jethro and Danny challenge three common misconceptions in educational leadership. They argue that leadership development isn't a luxury but a necessity, emphasizing that top performers in every field invest in coaching and that having a coach demonstrates maturity rather than inadequacy. They reject the notion that leadership must be lonely, encouraging leaders to build supportive communities and connections rather than remaining isolated. Finally, they reframe innovation as a mindset focused on problem definition rather than an expensive, technology-dependent endeavor. Throughout the conversation, they stress that leaders must take ownership of their own development rather than waiting for districts to provide it, and they share practical examples of how constraints can actually fuel creativity and meaningful change in schools.Key Takeaways:Leadership development is not a luxury - it's essential. When you get better as a leader, everybody wins. Top performers across all fields have coaches, and school leaders deserve the same investment.Having a coach is a sign of humility and maturity, not weakness. The best leaders actively seek coaching and development opportunities because they know they haven't reached their full potential yet.Leadership doesn't have to be lonely - loneliness is a choice. Connect with other leaders through masterminds, coaching communities, online groups, or professional networks. Isolation is the number one enemy of excellence.Innovation is a mindset, not a budget item. It starts with clearly defining the problem you're trying to solve, not jumping to solutions. Real innovation often costs nothing but requires creativity, relationship building, and rethinking constraints.Don't wait for your district to develop you. Take ownership of your growth through external conferences, coaching, and learning from industries outside education. The best insights often come from beyond the education bubble.

In this Ideas Lab episode, Kevin Coldiron speaks with venture capitalist and former founder Aubrie Pagano about what stands between today's AI hype and a truly transformative AGI economy. Rather than treating AI as destiny, Aubrie maps the frictions that hold it back: hard power limits, fragile industrial data, and agents that still cannot coordinate with humans or each other. She explains why we may be a full capital cycle or two away from real AGI and why that delay is precisely where the best opportunities lie. The conversation then widens into the “Aquarius Economy,” a possible future in which human agency, not algorithms, becomes the scarcest and most valuable asset.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow Aubrie on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Why agent coordination is still clunky and unreliable00:38 - Intro to Top Traders Unplugged and performance risk framing01:34 - Kevin sets up the Ideas Lab and today's focus on AGI02:59 - Aubrie's background as founder, researcher and VC shaping her lens06:04 - Why she wrote about AGI and the Aquarius Economy07:21 - AGI as the last cycle built on labor scarcity10:41 - The blockers framework and why AGI may be a cycle or two away12:58 - Blocker...

Hit Play ⏯️ WHAT TO EXPECT within your YEAR of ORACLE READINGS!Beloved, As we close 2025 and complete a nine-year cycle, it's time for new beginnings. I always say to my clients - “not your experience, not your truth.” It's easy to live in self doubt and “compare and despair” when you see others that have a clear “channel' and inner sense of confident knowing and peace.It is a presence cultivated from the inside out - but requires self comtiment, self love and not taking life so damn personal. This inner knowing is your constant state and destiny when you accept the invitation on this LAST DAY of celebrating one year of unlimited readings.Collectively, as our inner power expands, it collapses the old matrix and our inner resilience evolves as we see the lies as they become prevalent. We're about to enter a TRUE GOLDEN ERA (you just cannot see it - YET).

Episode #1073 In this revisit episode, Gary and Heather return to share what it really looks like when a relationship is built on personal growth, shared responsibility, and honest partnership. If you're tired of going through the motions, feeling stuck in your marriage, or wondering if it's too late to turn things around, this one is worth your time. Heather speaks candidly about what makes a man attractive to her. Not in theory, but in real life. Spoiler alert, it's not flowers or fancy vacations. It's a man who's grounded, consistent, and doing his own work. Gary opens up about what it took for him to shift from feeling stuck to becoming the kind of man who leads without control and creates trust without force. We dig into what being activated really means in a relationship, how to stop being a liability to your partner, and why most women lose respect when their man doesn't follow through. You'll also hear how doing the inner work translates to practical, real-world shifts, from how you show up at home to how your business runs. If you're serious about creating a relationship that's actually sustainable and full of life, this conversation breaks it down in a way that's real and doable.

In this unforgettable episode of Not All Hood, educator and Atlanta Public School Board member Alfred Brooks joins Pam Warner and Candace Kelley for a deeply emotional conversation about Black male teachers, representation in education, grief, legacy, and healing. Brooks shares his journey from growing up around activism to becoming one of the nation's few Black male educators — and the first classroom teacher in 150 years to serve on the Atlanta School Board. He breaks down why Black men in education matter, how he teaches students to unlearn harmful beliefs, and why authentic representation transforms school culture. The episode turns profoundly intimate as Brooks recounts the tragic loss of his 16-year-old son, Bryce, who died saving three children from a riptide.

The focus is on layered accounts of virtue — civic, purification, and illumination — and the role of ritual, altered states, and phenomenology in shaping meaning and sacredness. The conversation also addresses the risks of deification, authenticity loss, and cult dynamics, inviting a participatory, relational understanding of education oriented toward wisdom and agency. Ethan Hsieh Ethan Hsieh is a facilitator, educator, and philosophical practitioner whose work bridges performance, cognition, and transformative pedagogy. As the creator of TIAMAT—a three-tiered developmental framework—he integrates insights from performance practice, cognitive science, and dialogical philosophy to help individuals cultivate virtuosity as a way of life. Through immersive training containers and collaborative inquiry, he guides participants in mapping their inner experience, expanding their relational capacities, and enacting what he calls "postures of presence." Ethan's approach emphasizes participatory learning, metacognitive mapping, and the cultivation of agency through shared practice. His work with the collective 5toMidnight seeks to foster deliberately developmental communities grounded in relational ontology, where philosophical understanding becomes lived transformation. — 00:00 Welcome to the Lectern 02:00 Exploring virtue and sacredness 04:00 Layers of virtue and practice 06:00 Rituals and altered states of consciousness 10:30 Phenomenology and the sacred 18:00 Transformative insight and lived experience 30:30 Being-in-the-world and interconnectedness 38:00 Framework rejection and deification concerns 40:30 Ego, deification, and demonization 41:00 Virtue and the ego's filtration function 44:00 Addressing cult dynamics 46:00 Identifying healthy traditions and practices 51:30 Realness, resonance, and authenticity 55:00 Logos and the Good 01:06:00 The value of embodied experience — Follow John Vervaeke https://lectern.johnvervaeke.com https://x.com/DrJohnVervaeke https://www.youtube.com/@johnvervaeke https://www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke — Thank you for watching!

 Celebrations are powerful cultural signals. What we choose to mark, elevate, and honor tells people what truly matters in an organization.  Nearly every cultural or religious tradition celebrates something this time of year, reminding us that humans are wired to pause, connect, and acknowledge progress. The same is true in the workplace.  Yet many of us struggle with this. We forget to mark milestones, skip over achievements, and move on to the next task. The research is clear: celebration isn't frivolous; it's foundational. Celebration has transformative effects for individuals. A Socialcast study found that 69% of employees would work harder if they felt more appreciated. Celebration cultivates mutual uplift, shifting recognition from self-promotion to shared success. It increases visibility in a fast-moving workplace, helping people avoid anonymity and reinforcing a reputation for competence. And the act of pausing to reflect on accomplishments strengthens self-awareness and personal growth.  Celebrations boost morale, engagement, and loyalty while reducing turnover. They signal emotional safety and genuine appreciation—key ingredients of a healthy culture.  And celebration doesn't have to be elaborate. A recognition wall, a spontaneous team breakfast, a surprise treat, a personalized note—each small gesture plants a seed. The point isn't perfection; it's intention. When we celebrate, we tell our people they matter—and that changes everything.  Listen in for celebrations stories from Crina and Kirsten - so fun successes and some horrible warnings.

Kaiser, a road construction entrepreneur who had previously coordinated monumental infrastructure projects including the Boulder Dam, demonstrated relentless commitment to ambitious thinking and delivery ahead of schedule and under budget constraints.

Between 1941 and 1945, Kaiser successfully built 2,710 Liberty ships, fundamentally enabling Allied logistics and supply operations. 1941

In this deeply moving episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Dr. Virginia Marston, a trauma-healing practitioner whose work integrates family constellation therapy, holistic wellness, and generational healing. Together, they explore the profound connection between emotional healing, ancestral patterns, and the transformative power of self-awareness.Dr. Marston shares her extraordinary personal journey through trauma recovery, shaped by her experience navigating her daughter's cerebral palsy diagnosis. She reveals how this life-altering chapter became the catalyst for her deep dive into generational trauma — and how uncovering these invisible emotional inheritances can open the door to profound healing for individuals and families alike.Throughout their illuminating conversation, Dr. Alisa and Dr. Marston emphasize the importance of approaching wellness through the lens of mind, body, and spirit. They discuss how family constellation therapy helps reveal the unseen loyalties, emotional blocks, and inherited burdens that often keep people stuck in patterns of fear, pain, or self-sabotage. Dr. Marston explains why cultivating self-love, presence, and awareness is essential for breaking these cycles and creating healthier internal and external relationships.This episode beautifully highlights the necessity of redefining success — not through material achievement, but through the love, connection, and honor we cultivate within the family system.

Burgess also discusses Carleton Watkins, who transported over 2,000 pounds of large-format photographic equipment to Yosemite Valley, producing images that proved instrumental in securing federal preservation and protection of the landscape. 1880 COPENHAGEN

In this episode, host Duane Osterlind speaks with Liz Friedman, CEO and Co-founder of GPS Group Peer Support, about the vital role of peer support and group modalities in addressing the widespread mental health crisis. Liz shares her personal journey into the work, stemming from a severe mental health crisis after childbirth, which revealed significant gaps in the healthcare system. The conversation delves into the definition, profound impact, and structured model of peer support, emphasizing its effectiveness in fostering connection, resilience, and lasting change.Key Discussion PointsDefining Peer Support: Peer support is fundamentally about landing in your own lived experience and offering it as a tool and gift to others. It is about saying, "I've survived some really hard things. I believe you can too. Let's take the next step together," to break through isolation, stigma, and shame.Lived Experience as a Modality: Liz's personal motivation comes from her own struggles and the realization that connection is the key factor in healing. This understanding is deeply rooted in the recovery field.Peer Support vs. Professional Therapy: While professional therapy is crucial, peer support offers a unique, complementary therapeutic modality where participants share their lived experience to inspire and resource one another. Peer support minimizes the hierarchy and clinical barriers often present in traditional settings, enhancing rapport.The Need for Structure and Training: Despite the organic nature of groups, there is a limited evidence base and a lack of training for running effective peer support groups—even among clinical professionals. Liz's organization, GPS Group Peer Support, focuses on training facilitators to create a structured, trauma-informed, and trauma-responsive container that allows for genuine authenticity and courageous sharing.The GPS Group Peer Support Model: The model integrates evidence-based modalities (like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness) seamlessly into a very set, stepped structure. Key elements include:Ritual Beginning: Starting with a mindfulness moment for grounding and landing.Heightened Confidentiality: Confidentiality is framed relationally to promote transformation, where the very act of saying something can change it, and prevent "locking" a person into their past truth.No Interruption/Advice: A completely device-free zone that eliminates crosstalk, advice-giving, and conflict. This trusts the participant's ability to find their own path and fosters self-trust.Realities and Principles: An honest preamble that names the challenges (realities) specific to the population while affirming principles of hope, dignity, and recovery for everyone.Equal Protected Time: Every person receives the same amount of protected time to share, ensuring the group is never dominated by a single voice and allowing the collective story to emerge.Addressing the Mental Health Crisis: The shift to group therapeutic care and support groups is critical for the future of mental healthcare. By utilizing a group model, costs can be reduced, access can be dramatically expanded (serving millions more people), and care can be de-stigmatized and normalized.

Groundbreaking. Transformative. A new way to unlock human creativity and productivity.Tech CEOs have promised artificial intelligence will do many things for us. They've used these promises to justify billions of dollars of investment in building the language models and data centers needed to power AI.Four of the world's biggest tech companies – Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google – have promised to collectively spend $380 billion this year in the AI space.That spending has led to huge rallies in these companies' stock prices. There are now hundreds of private AI companies with values – on paper – of over a billion dollars. And in October, the AI boom created the world's first company worth $5 trillion – Nvidia.So, is this spending justified? Do these companies' stock values hint at a financial bubble in AI? Or is this situation different?Find more of our programs online.
