Summary In this conversation, Ali Damron and Kayla Girgen discuss the benefits of rucking, a form of exercise that involves walking with weight. Kayla shares her journey from a corporate job to becoming a registered dietitian and personal trainer, emphasizing the importance of evolving perspectives on nutrition. They explore the role of AI in nutrition coaching, the integration of rucking with other forms of exercise, and the significance of managing stress and sleep for overall health. Kayla also highlights her upcoming book and programs designed to help women navigate their health journeys, particularly during midlife. Takeaways Rucking is an accessible and effective form of exercise for women. Nutrition perspectives have evolved significantly over the years. AI can assist in nutrition coaching but cannot replace human interpretation. Rucking provides both physical and mental health benefits. It's important to integrate rucking with strength training for optimal results. Women can start rucking with as little as 10 pounds of weight. Rucking can help manage stress and improve blood sugar levels. Sleep and stress management are crucial for weight management in midlife. CGMs provide valuable insights into how lifestyle factors affect health. Community support is essential for maintaining motivation in health journeys. Sound bites "Rucking is walking with weight."

Mike Palmer returns to the Thanksgiving table to serve up a side of applied neuroscience. Powered by the recently released Gemini 3, he examines the "gratitude cocktail," a potent neurochemical mix of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin that mimics the effects of antidepressants and strengthens social bonds. Beyond the chemistry, Mike explores the psychological framework of The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. He explains how measuring progress against an ideal future creates unhappiness, while measuring against the past generates resilience and satisfaction. The conversation shifts from theory to practice, detailing why gratitude stories are more effective than rote lists and how specific "Notice, Think, Feel, Do" protocols rewire the brain. Mike also debunks the tryptophan myth, explaining how carbohydrates and compelling narratives—like football—actually drive the post-meal nap. Finally, he reflects on the origins of Trending in Education, shares updates on the new Trending in Higher Ed feed, and previews upcoming live events from SXSW EDU to Alexandria, Virginia. Key Takeaways The Gratitude Cocktail: Gratitude activates the brain's reward centers. Dopamine drives motivation, serotonin stabilizes mood similar to SSRIs, and oxytocin fosters trust and bonding. Mindset Shift: "Gap thinking" focuses on the distance between your actual self and an unreachable ideal, leading to burnout. "Gain thinking" measures your actual self against your past self, highlighting progress and abundance. Stories Over Lists: Rote gratitude lists often lead to mechanical habituation. Constructing gratitude narratives creates stronger neural pathways and emotional connections. The Science of the Nap: It isn't just the turkey. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin, but the heavy carbohydrate load and the relief of social bonding are the real drivers of sleepiness. Podcast Expansion: Trending in Education is expanding its network with a dedicated Trending in Higher Ed feed to allow listeners to dive deeper into specific verticals. Why You Should Listen This episode moves beyond the platitudes of "giving thanks" to reveal the biological mechanisms that make gratitude a high-performance tool. If you find yourself doomscrolling or fixating on what you haven't achieved, the "Gap and The Gain" framework offers a practical method to reset your cognitive baseline. Mike connects these mental models to tangible brain health, offering a compelling argument for why gratitude is essential fuel for resilience and innovation.

I invited my friend Sigourney Belle to explore the real transformation that happens when we move from maiden to mother—and why it's a physiological, neurological, and spiritual awakening. Together we name the power of matrescence, the rise of heightened instinct, and the shadow of fear that can surface in pregnancy. Sigourney shares how unexpected challenges late in her pregnancy dismantled old structures, and how she rebuilt her life with deeper trust in her body's wisdom—ultimately birthing Soma Mystica as a bridge between modern medicine and mystical insight.We go deep into somatic healing: what field intelligence feels like in real time, why co-regulation and therapeutic touch matter, and how practitioners must master state entrainment so their nervous systems become safe, attuned instruments. I share the practices I lean on to anchor presence, while Sigourney offers trauma-informed perspectives that make intuition practical—so we can listen to the body's signals without getting swept by them.From parenting to education, we explore cultivating a child's unique genius, unshaming early body education, and making aligned schooling choices—from Steiner to Green School Bali. We talk about raising embodied, sovereign kids who can sense their own boundaries and creativity, and how intuitive leadership at home starts with our capacity to feel, name, and navigate our inner states.Sigourney also opens up about co-parenting, dating after birth, and building a slower, more strategic business that supports motherhood and creativity. This conversation is an invitation to widen what we believe is possible—inside our bodies, our relationships, and the ecosystems we steward—so that healing becomes not just personal, but profoundly relational and generational.

In this episode, Kelly and Jay recount an extraordinary night at the International Remote Viewing Association conference in Cloudcroft, New Mexico—one that began as a simple group experiment in spoon bending and ended with a display of unexplained aerial activity over the nearby White Sands Missile Range. As dozens of participants focused their attention around a bonfire, cutlery softened and twisted in their hands—just as amber lights began moving across the desert sky in ways that defied conventional motion. The synchronicity between the two events raised unsettling questions about consciousness, matter, and the possible feedback loop between human intention and the phenomenon itself. Kelly and Jay examine that night moment by moment, reflecting on its implications for remote viewing, psychokinesis, and the broader study of anomalous events. Along the way, they discuss: The history of spoon bending and PK (psychokinesis) experiments, from Jack Houck's “PK parties” to government research programs. The atmosphere and experiments at the IRVA conference, including conversations with legendary remote viewers like Lyn Buchanan, Paul H.

What does it mean to be truly blessed in the kingdom of God? In this episode, Camden Bucey welcomes back pastor and author Jonathan Cruse, pastor of Community Presbyterian Church (Orthodox Presbyterian Church) in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to discuss his latest book, Paradox People: Learning to Live the Beatitudes (P&R Publishing). Together they explore how Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:3–12 turns worldly expectations upside down—and how the Beatitudes offer not a checklist for salvation, but a portrait of Christ and those united to him by faith. Drawing from pastoral experience and theological insight, Cruse explains how the Beatitudes call Christians to a counterintuitive life: one of meekness, mourning, mercy, and spiritual hunger. Yet far from being burdensome, this vision of kingdom living flows from the grace already secured in Christ. The conversation also touches on inaugurated eschatology, Christian distinctiveness in the culture, and how the Beatitudes equip believers to live faithfully as pilgrims between two ages. Listeners will be encouraged to see the Beatitudes not just as commands, but as Christ-centered comfort—anchoring our present obedience in a certain future hope.
