My friend, Alex, a book editor, checked his inbox, anticipating an angry email from an author. He’d been working with a prominent business leader on his manuscript for months. Unexpectedly, the publisher had decided to halt the publication of the book due to company problems. After emailing the author the bad news, Alex braced himself. A week later a reply came. “I didn’t answer right away because I wanted to think first about my words and how to respond,” the author wrote. He expressed disappointment, then calmly stated how he thought the publisher could’ve handled the issue. The author’s wise, measured response left a deep impression on me. His behavior reflected what the Bible says our communication should be like, especially when we’re angry. The apostle James tells us to keep “a tight rein on [our] tongues” because it’s easy to sin with our words (James 1:26; 3:5−6). We’re to prioritize listening to others so we can understand them, choose our words, and consider whether it’s necessary to get angry (1:19). Not only does restraint in speech help us to avoid sin and allow the Scriptures to change us (v. 21) but it also reflects who God is to others: “compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love” (Psalm 103:8). Let’s model our loving God with our words—and our silences.

Jeremy Zakis shares that his dog, Dallas, has expanded his "avian menagerie" by befriending two ducks that unexpectedly settled in his garden. These ducks traveled miles from their typical lake habitat during winter, a period when they are normally inactive. Dallas interacts with these friends peacefully, demonstrating his unique status as a magpie whisperer. Concurrently, John Batchelor prepares for a harsh New England winter featuring heavy snow and high winds influenced by El Niño. (4)

Patrick opens the hour talking about music genres, wrestling with the complex relationship between heavy metal, virtue, and personal taste, then shifts rapidly to heartfelt calls on food addiction and the tension between faith, practical steps, and deliverance prayers. Unexpectedly, the conversation veers toward rules for Catholic godparents and the emotional wrestle of regret over old sins. An unexpected question about Mary Magdalene and the meaning behind Jesus’ “don’t touch me” keeps the energy unpredictable till the end. 00:34 Email on heavy metal's positive themes 09:36 Losing weight after wife's illness 13:56 Dealing with guilt and doubt 14:53 Recognizing actions have consequences 20:39 Concerns about godparent eligibility 21:34 Godparent requirements in Catholicism 24:49 Spiritual warfare misconceptions 27:58 Discussing spiritual guidance strategies 31:33 Addressing personal temptations 41:09 Understanding Church Marriage Validity 42:25 Church annulment process details 49:28 Mary Magdalene's relationship with Jesus

Most people assume designing a home you love starts with choosing finishes, fixtures, and paint colors ... but after unexpectedly buying an existing house, I realized what actually matters MOST.(and yes ... considering I've spent years helping people build custom homes, this surprised me too! )

The story behind this episode The story I relate in this episode emerged when, in September 2019, I walked some of the World War I battlefields in Belgium and France with my guide, Iain McHenry. As we walked along where a trench had existed during the war, Iain told me the story of an archaeological dig that recovered and eventually identified the remains of a British soldier who was killed there in November 1914 in a German mortar attack. The story has stayed with me because of how the soldier, Richard Lancaster, was finally identified and because there are literally thousands of other Richards who've never been found. Rather than tell the story as a straight historical narrative, I wanted the piece to have a distinct voice, so I chose to write it from the perspective of Richard's unique dog tag, which led to his identification. After we visited the site where Richard was found, we visited where he was later buried. (see the photo) Our final stop on this part of the journey was the nearby Principals Cindy House is the author of Mother Noise, a memoir in essays and a regular opener for David Sedaris on his tours across the country. She teaches nonfiction at the Gotham Writers Workshop. She also offers private writing classes. Cindy is my writing coach, and our Friday meetings are a high point of my week. This essay came out of a prompt she suggested: "Write about a headline that never left you." She epitomizes good teaching: she is quick to challenge me to "dig deeper for my real story," offers sound suggestions, and then praises me when I hit a strong note. I can't imagine taking this writer's journey with anyone else. When we had completed the essay, I asked her for her thoughts on producing an audio version. Unexpectedly, she was quick to offer her voice. You can't see me smiling, but trust me, I still am. Iain McHenry was born in Belfast and, after leaving school, joined the British Army, embarking on a career that took him all over the world. He was stationed in Germany, Northern Ireland, Canada, the Falkland Islands, and Belgium, and he has completed operational tours in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Sierra Leone. He has always had a passion for WW1, and after leaving the army, he started his own business in Belgium, working as a WW1 researcher, battlefield guide, and published author.

In this episode, the network-topologist-turned-gravity-theorist explains her "Gravity from Entropy" action, which treats matter and geometry symmetrically through a geometric quantum relative entropy (not the horizon entropy of Verlinde or Jacobson). She details why it reduces to Einstein's equations at low energy while predicting a dynamical, always-positive dark energy term (the "G field"), how it may avoid black hole singularities and reproduce the area law without invoking holography, and why she believes understanding the brain may be harder than understanding quantum gravity. We close with her advice for young researchers. I hope you enjoy.

What happens when your carefully planned, low-intervention birth transforms into something entirely unexpected? In this replay episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker revisits her conversation with Leah Bergman, a graduate of the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class, and her birth story of navigating a surprise diagnosis of fetal growth restriction (sometimes called intrauterine growth restriction or IUGR) in late pregnancy. Together, they unpack the emotional rollercoaster of changing birth plans, wrestling with uncertainty, and making tough decisions around induction while still finding space for empowerment, advocacy, and joy. Leah opens up about leaning on evidence-based education, support from her husband and doula, and a compassionate midwifery team as she faced a challenging induction process complete with surprises, setbacks, and two trips to the hospital. You'll also hear practical strategies for advocating during labor, the realities of taking a break from an induction then "starting over", and how to build a positive birth experience even when things go off script.

This episode I am reading from Jeffrey Keene's book 'Fire in the Soul: Reincarnation from Antietam to Ground Zero' I had never given reincarnation much thought, nor had I ever seen a psychic, but both of these elements came together one Halloween night. That one night was to change my outlook on life and my way of thinking forever. That evening started a progression of puzzle pieces floating into place. As each piece gently touched down, it added to a picture, a portrait that reinforced a strong case for reincarnation. My story weaves a tapestry of mystery and history, of love and the horrors of warfare. The journey was and still is a wondrous one, sometimes funny but at other times sad and physically painful. I force my beliefs on no one. I only ask that the readers open their minds to their own experiences, to take a good look at the world around them. As for me, I have no choice but to believe in reincarnation. I lived the story, and every word is true. Join me on an amazing journey through the eyes of two people: one a Georgian, the other a Connecticut Yankee. Similarities between the two go far beyond coincidence. They think alike, look alike, and even share facial scars. Their lives are so intertwined that they appear to be one. Half of this equation, Jeffrey J. Keene, a retired Assistant Fire Chief from affluent Westport, Connecticut. The other half, John B. Gordon, Confederate General, Army of Northern Virginia, died January 9, 1904. I would be lead into a 10-year travel odyssey that included the battlefields of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Georgia as well as the library of Congress. Gathering information from official records, wartime reports and even love letters, I uncovered many parallels between my own life and that of General Gordon. Unexpectedly a trip to the emergency room on my thirtieth birthday with facial pain that mimicked a wound General Gordon received 115 years before at the battle of Antietam when he was thirty years of age. My hospital visit was more than a decade before I first heard his name. September 11, 2001 would start a new chapter in my life, literarily. In 2007, I was summoned to an online Reincarnation Forum dedicated to Children's past lives. I was called in to aid in verifying a child's information because of my knowledge of Fire Department operations and equipment. In less than a week, from the information given to me by the mother, on and off the forum, I discovered the boy was relating a lifetime of a New York City firefighter who perished in the events of September 11, 2001. After hearing his story, I call the young boy, The Phoenix. Bio Jeffrey J. Keene was born in Danbury, Connecticut in 1947 and grew up in the town of Westport, CT, attending Staples High School. He joined the Air Force following his graduation in 1965. Following basic training, Keene specialized as a medic.

In this enlightening episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast,  Wize welcomes Kayse Gehret, a transformational wellness pioneer with over 31 years of experience. As founder of Microdosing for Healing, Casey has guided more than 1,400 people in 30 countries toward clarity, balance, and self-connection through earth-based and international practices. Together, Speaker A and Speaker B embark on a deep conversation about the journey of healing, the misconceptions around wellness, and what it really takes to reconnect with yourself in an increasingly disconnected world. An Origin Story Rooted in Healing The episode opens with Casey's personal story, tracing her childhood desire to pursue a healing profession. She initially started on a conventional path toward becoming a doctor, studying pre-med, before a significant turning point led her to California and alternative medicine. Casey shares how energy work, body work, and somatic practices gradually became her life's passion, eventually leading to the creation of her global community (02:08). Her early experiences—including the trauma of losing her father to suicide and the challenges within her family—sparked a curiosity in psychology and human health that has shaped her approach (04:06). She speaks candidly about how a sense of purpose, combined with a personal “blueprint,” led her to recognize her calling from a young age. Navigating Stigma and Skepticism Casey recounts the skepticism she faced when transitioning from conventional medicine to alternative practices, especially during the early years when energy work and body work commanded little respect. This experience primed her for the challenges of working with psychedelics and natural medicines, specifically microdosing with psilocybin mushrooms (05:07). Casey describes growing up during the Reagan-era “Just Say No” campaign, surrounded by stigma and misinformation about psychedelics, and shares her own cautious approach informed by personal health concerns like a seizure disorder (07:52). She explains that microdosing appealed to her as a gentle, sub-threshold practice, more akin to taking a supplement than a mind-altering drug. Unexpectedly, it brought significant healing: her seizure disorder disappeared, her nervous system recalibrated, and her skepticism transformed into advocacy. Over six years, Casey has watched the stigma around microdosing fade, replaced by curiosity and open-minded questions (08:51). Challenging Pharmaceutical Dependence A major theme emerges around the dominance of pharmaceutical companies in traditional media and medicine. Speaker A and Speaker B emphasize that many remedies simply create lifelong dependency without true healing; microdosing and natural methods, by contrast, trigger the body's innate healing capacity (10:25). Casey clarifies a common misconception: mushrooms and microdosing do not foster dependency but rather assist and unleash intrinsic self-healing mechanisms. Her own experience proves that the benefits persisted even after stopping microdosing (10:58). Global Healing: Similar Struggles, Shared Humanity Having worked with people in over 30 countries, Casey reflects on the surprising similarities in healing struggles across cultures (13:06). Despite local differences, fundamental issues are universal: a longing for connection, spirituality, and supportive communities. She describes the profound impact of helping individuals in places where discussing spirituality or mystical experiences remains taboo, illustrating how her work facilitates deeper cross-cultural healing. The Power of Intention and Mindset Intentional practice and mindset are highlighted as essential components of transformation, particularly when working with psychedelics. Casey explains that these substances act as “non-specific amplifiers,” magnifying what is already within a person (14:26). The medicine alone can help, but coupling it with community, guides, or therapists is far more effective. She stresses the importance of setting clear intentions and lifestyle practices to maximize the healing journey (15:33). Disconnection: The Root of Modern Struggles Casey identifies disconnection—from self, others, and the earth—as the underlying cause of many modern challenges (16:00). People are drawn to healing practices not always knowing why; for many, it's an unconscious desire to reconnect with their true self and purpose. She notes that media and societal forces often promote numbing and obedience, making disconnection easier and awakening harder (17:01). Reconnection, she says, is key to regaining creative, conscious agency in life (17:14). Content Creation and Community Building The episode also explores the vital role of independent media and content creation in uplifting and empowering individuals (18:03). Speaker A shares his journey creating his own internet radio station and his mission to focus on positive, meaningful talk content. Casey encourages listeners to intentionally build their own “algorithm”—curating what they consume and embodying conscious focus (18:38). Both speakers agree that independent platforms offer freedom from censorship and support authentic, optimistic narratives (20:09). Training the Next Generation of Facilitators Casey's professional training program for facilitators is discussed in depth. She describes the broad spectrum of people who have entered her training—clinicians, therapists, doctors, entrepreneurs, and regular people inspired by their own healing journey. The qualities of effective guides include openness, diverse backgrounds, and a commitment to support and serve their communities (21:17). Her cohorts span ages from twenties to seventies, underscoring the universal appeal of intentional healing work. Practical Steps: Starting the Healing Journey For listeners feeling stuck emotionally or spiritually, Casey's advice is practical and empowering. The first step is simply acknowledging that the status quo is no longer satisfactory—that awareness alone is transformative (23:01). Next, she recommends reconnecting with the body through daily practices like massage, yoga, nature walks, or whatever brings you closer to yourself. These physical anchors pave the way for deeper spiritual and energetic healing (23:37). She elaborates that cultivating consistent daily practices—meditation, microdosing, prayer, or walks—helps anchor individuals amidst social upheaval and rapid change. Even ten minutes a day, intentionally set aside, can make all the difference in building resilience and staying grounded (25:20). Lasting Transformation: Gentle Integration True transformation, Casey asserts, is not always flashy or instant, but rather incremental and lasting. Subtle, gentle shifts accrue over time and integrate into real-life relationships and choices. Often, a year or more passes before clients look back and see profound differences in how they handle adversity, relationships, and opportunities. They find themselves responding creatively, not reactively, to life's curveballs—a hallmark of authentic healing (26:33). Community: The Modern Village The importance of supportive community—virtual or local—is underscored throughout the episode. Speaker A recounts his upbringing in a tight-knit “village” and laments how that communal spirit has become rare. Both speakers celebrate that online platforms now make it possible to build global communities of like-minded individuals, empowering collective healing and creative growth (32:10). Casey shares a story about wildfire recovery in Northern California, where ordinary people—not authorities—stepped up to lead and support, illustrating the power of grassroots community action (37:09). Inspiration and Empowerment As the conversation wraps up, Speaker A reflects on his own journey: from pit boss in a casino to podcast host and media entrepreneur. He shares how stepping out of his comfort zone led to meaningful friendships, growth, and even helping his nephew publish several books after prison (36:10). Casey affirms that anyone, regardless of background, can take the first step—confidence builds through action, not mere contemplation (30:09). They discuss how seeing an ordinary person achieve something new ignites permission and empowerment in others. The episode closes with Casey's encouragement to pursue your dreams and Speaker A's call for listeners to embrace uplifting, meaningful content and healing alternatives. Connect with Casey Garrett Casey Garrett invites listeners to explore microdosing and healing at microdosingforhealing.com (40:42). She offers resources for beginners, online support, and community platforms. Her uniquely spelled name makes her easy to find across social media. Final Thoughts This episode is a powerful testament to personal transformation, the healing potential of natural medicines, and the importance of intentional practice and supportive community. It challenges listeners to question pharmaceutical dependency, embrace daily grounding exercises, and take the first step toward lasting change. Through candid stories, expert insights, and practical advice, Casey Garrett and Speaker A inspire anyone feeling stuck to embark on their own healing journey and become agents of positive, authentic change in the world.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hey there, I started a new job in August at a large European retailer. There were ups & downs, but long story short, my weekly one-on-ones with my manager was either positive or neutral. This was my second job after graduating, so the firm factored in, I'd like to think, when setting expectations this was my first time switching codebases and tech stacks. On January 3rd, I was fired in the last month of my 6 month probation. This was a total surprise. My tech lead told me I required too much assistance from others to finish my tasks. Some part of me doubted the sincerity of my boss, since I asked for example pull requests or tickets where this was the case and he was unable to provide a single example, but obviously, like every dev, technical insecurities are a big part of my life. I'll be starting a new job at a prestigious newspaper in May, so here's my question. In a remote first environment, how do I determine if I'm meeting expectations? How do I gauge my standing in my team? How do I avoid a repeat? How do I effectively integrate myself into a codebase? Disclaimer: At the end of January, everyone in my department was hauled into a meeting and was told the retailer hired 11 external, Portuguese developers to ‘finish the job' since management wasn't happy with the output of the 9 internal developers (aka nearshoring) and no internal would get a pay increase this year. My tech's boss was also fired/forced out/quit before he could be fired. Trevor asks, How do I balance depth with breadth? At my current job, I am moved around projects/code bases all the time and I am exposed to a variety of technologies and subareas. That's cool but I feel like I only manage to face the consequences of our choices for a couple months until I am moved again. I think I need more time to really become an expert in any one area. At the same time, I dread getting stuck in maintenance work. It seems like most people around me (at my company or outside) find it boring and soul-sucking, and are only excited about major projects from scratch. Does a job that has a good balance of both exist and if so, how do I find it?

Covid was already rough for the very funny and personable Annabelle Gurwitch, as it was for everyone, and that was before her car broke down on an LA freeway just as she was getting a call with a terminal cancer diagnosis. Stage four. Annabelle has dealt with anxiety and depression for a long time and the cancer news certainly didn't help, especially as Annabelle found strong connections between mental and physical health, culminating, perhaps, in Annabelle crab-walking down the sidewalk. It's all detailed in her new memoir, The End of My Life Is Killing Me: The Unexpected Joys of a Cancer Slacker, in which she tells of going on medications that have worked for years, but which she knows will eventually stop working. And eventually, as with us all, she will die. For now, she's alive and here to talk, enlighten, and share more than a few laughs.  Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.

Dear Wonderful Reader,Tuesday, March 17th, 2026, marked 4 years since I freed myself from the shackles of my corporate job. Four years is a decent chunk of time. For the same duration as my undergraduate degree, I've been frolicking around Mexico City, perfecting my Spanish and waking up every day to the joy of being alive. How have I survived without a regular paycheck? And, more importantly, have I learned anything that's useful to you?It has been mostly a dream, but this quit-my-job-aversary comes at a particularly difficult time. I've barely made $2,000 this quarter, not even close to my personal OKR of $15k. Selling some of my index fund investments to pay my rent makes me feel like I'm failing at being an adult. Then again, I did take six months off client work to launch my second book, get it funded on Kickstarter in just 12 days, and get featured in The New York Times. Still, it's hard to see the beauty in all that I've accomplished when reality is currently kicking my ass.As you know, last week I was hit by a family emergency, causing me to fork out a couple thousand dollars more to fly to LA and say goodbye to my grandmother, who it seemed was on her deathbed. I sat with her in the hospital for five days as she went through a heart operation, reflecting on life in a mortal-imperative kind of way, while somehow helping to nurse her back to health. It was a close call. Not every day is sunshine and roses.Sometimes those deeper, existential questions irk me. Am I really that much better off than before I burned my New York 9-5 life to the ground back in 2022? However, all it takes is a five-minute conversation with another software engineer who hates his life to knock my own sense back into me. I've definitely made the right choice.I'm definitely not in the same place in this “creative career” as when I started. My direction is clearer and narrower in a way that's motivating. I have a product to sell. I have workshops to teach. My path has a lot more shape, but it's not easier. In fact, I'm still suffering. Yet I am following the advice of Graham Weaver, from my favorite episode of Lenny's Podcast:“Life is suffering, so make sure you pick something worth suffering for.” That's how this feels right now. It's a lot of work, but I'm much happier doing this than sending Sean a stupid, boring spreadsheet. (If you remember, in my corporate tech career, I worked with more men named Sean than with women on my teams, lol).Here are four lessons I've learned in my fourth year of freedom.A second date?

Mathematics is everywhere: a common refrain from high school math teachers. But did you ever think math could be linked to literature? And not just in works from the literary greats of the past but for example Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. The relationship between math and literature are fundamentally creative, says Sarah Hart, a mathematician and author who speaks to Nahlah Ayed about how these two things that seem so polar opposite are deeply intertwined.Sarah Hart's book is called Once Upon a Prime: The Wondrous Connections Between Mathematics and Literature.

6..  Guest: Hampton Sides. Cook unexpectedly discovers the Hawaiian Islands, landing at Kauai. He is amazed by the sophisticated agriculture and aqueducts but stays briefly, rushing toward the Arctic. This first contact is mutual puzzlement; locals view the British as "volcano people" due to their smoking, while Cook worries about transmitting disease.

What if gravity is just entropy in disguise? Professor Erik Verlinde joins me to argue that gravity isn't a fundamental force—it's thermodynamic, emerging from quantum information the way gas pressure emerges from molecules bouncing around. We explore why spacetime may be stitched together by entanglement, and how dark energy and dark matter both pop out automatically without extra particles or parameters. Verlinde explains why the cosmological constant problem is a red herring, and why there may be no final theory of physics. When asked where the universe comes from, his answer is one word: chaos.

What if every health issue is actually part of the same underlying problem? In this powerful episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz — world-renowned gastroenterologist, gut health expert, and author of Plant Powered Plus — explains why your gut health is a story of your brain-gut connection. He shares why filling the ‘God-shaped hole' is a biological requirement to reduce inflammation and start to heal. Skin issues, bloating, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, and even bloating may all be hidden symptoms of inflammation, driven by modern life, chronic stress, poor sleep, trauma, disconnection, and most importantly, a lack of spiritual connection. Dr. B shares a startling personal story of his own spiritual awakening that he had previously been too self-conscious to share. Dr. Bulsiewicz also breaks down: - Why modern convenience keeps us stuck in fight-or-flight instead of rest & digest - Practical, science-backed ways to reduce inflammation - Why health protocols help, but are never one-size-fits-all - Why the colon is your first line of defense against inflammation - Top 3 ways we're destroying our gut microbiome - How GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy) are changing gut health, and their potential long-term risks - Importance of fiber, protein quality, diet variety, and why the Western diet fuels inflammation We also explore the powerful link between science, faith, and healing — why spirituality, purpose, and human connection measurably improve physical health, and how loneliness, trauma, and individualism damage the gut and immune system. Backed by science, we unpack how trauma causes digestive disease and why forgiveness can literally heal the body. Dr. Bulsiewicz shares his personal journey into spirituality, his emotional reconciliation with his father, and the remarkable experiences that followed his passing. If you've been struggling with unexplained symptoms, chronic inflammation, gut issues, fatigue, or are searching for a more whole-person approach to health, this episode may completely change how you think about healing.

What if every health issue is actually part of the same underlying problem? In this powerful episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz — world-renowned gastroenterologist, gut health expert, and author of Plant Powered Plus — explains why your gut health is a story of your brain-gut connection. He shares why filling the ‘God-shaped hole' is a biological requirement to reduce inflammation and start to heal. Skin issues, bloating, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, and even bloating may all be hidden symptoms of inflammation, driven by modern life, chronic stress, poor sleep, trauma, disconnection, and most importantly, a lack of spiritual connection. Dr. B shares a startling personal story of his own spiritual awakening that he had previously been too self-conscious to share. Dr. Bulsiewicz also breaks down: - Why modern convenience keeps us stuck in fight-or-flight instead of rest & digest - Practical, science-backed ways to reduce inflammation - Why health protocols help, but are never one-size-fits-all - Why the colon is your first line of defense against inflammation - Top 3 ways we're destroying our gut microbiome - How GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy) are changing gut health, and their potential long-term risks - Importance of fiber, protein quality, diet variety, and why the Western diet fuels inflammation We also explore the powerful link between science, faith, and healing — why spirituality, purpose, and human connection measurably improve physical health, and how loneliness, trauma, and individualism damage the gut and immune system. Backed by science, we unpack how trauma causes digestive disease and why forgiveness can literally heal the body. Dr. Bulsiewicz shares his personal journey into spirituality, his emotional reconciliation with his father, and the remarkable experiences that followed his passing.
