In this episode of The Animal Communication Podcast, Julie, Karen and Meredith Tollison have a heartfelt conversation about signs and how our animals, both in spirit and in body, communicate with us through subtle, surprising, and deeply personal moments. Together, they explore what signs really are (and what they're not), how grief can heighten our sensitivity to them, and why belief, embodiment, and emotional resonance matter more than external proof. Through intimate stories involving feathers, wind chimes, pennies, music, animals in the wild, and everyday interruptions, this episode invites listeners to soften, trust themselves, and recognize that signs are less about certainty and more about connection - reminders that we are never truly alone.

As we approach the rare Year of the Fire Horse, Meredith, Julie and Karen explore what this bold, catalytic energy invites - and what it asks us to tend with care. Reflecting on personal astrology, Chinese zodiac wisdom, and lived experience with horses, the hosts discuss leadership, momentum, self-expression, and the nervous system realities of change. With horses as both metaphor and teacher, this episode offers grounded insight into how to move forward without overriding tenderness, intuition, or grief - and how partnership, rather than force, may be the key to navigating the year ahead.

In this episode animal healer and communicator Lisa Tully joins the co-hosts for a deeply moving conversation about mirroring, healing, and the profound ways our animals reflect what we carry emotionally and spiritually. Drawing from animal communication, Chinese medicine, flower essences, and lived experience, Lisa shares how animals act as loving barometers for imbalance, often expressing through their bodies and behaviors what we may not yet be able to name. Together, the conversation explores tenderness, grief, and the heart as a place of wisdom, offering listeners a compassionate lens for understanding their animals, themselves, and the sacred bond that connects them.

a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at the University of Vermont. She began teaching riding at my family's farm in Charlotte, Vermont while she was in high school, and—with the exception of several years dedicated to raising my children— She has been teaching, coaching, and training ever since. Her background is rooted in the hunter/jumper industry, and she holds both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Education from UVM. Her role at the University allows her to bring together her formal training as an educator with decades of hands-on experience working with horses and riders. It is a rewarding blend of my passions for teaching, horsemanship, and supporting the next generation of equine professionals.

In this deeply moving episode, the co-hosts sit down with trauma-informed yoga instructor and grief guide Keri Kenney for an honest, tender conversation about grief, healing, and the animals who walk beside us through our darkest moments. Keri shares her profound personal story of loss and how her dogs, Lola and Carlos, quite literally helped her survive the unimaginable by teaching her how to stay present, nourish herself, and keep her heart open even in devastation. Together, the hosts explore how animals help us remain connected to tenderness rather than bypassing pain, and how grief, when met with presence, compassion, and support, can become a pathway back to love, connection, and embodied healing.

Your co-hosts explore the lived experience of overwhelm and how our animals respond when life feels like too much, too fast, and too soon. Through personal stories, client examples, and animal wisdom, they reveal how overwhelm shows up energetically and behaviorally, and how animals lovingly interrupt the cycle by modeling presence, boundaries, grounding, and rest. This conversation offers a compassionate reframe of overwhelm as an invitation to slow down, listen, and come back into balance—with our animals as guides.

In this powerful and wide-ranging conversation, we're joined by clinical canine herbalist and author Rita Hogan to explore what it truly means to connect - with our dogs, with plants, and with the living ecosystems we share. Rita shares her personal journey into herbalism, her deep relationships with plants and trees, and how dogs reflect the emotional and environmental patterns of the homes they live in. Together, we talk about plants as teachers, weeds as misunderstood allies, and the profound healing that becomes possible when we slow down, listen, and reconnect to the natural world. This episode is an invitation to remember that connection is not something we create, it's something we return to.

Over the past year, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made many changes in federal health guidelines. Some of his biggest shakeups relate to vaccinations. Last week the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – the CDC – scaled back its childhood vaccine guidelines for six different immunizations, including flu and RSV.This hour we're joined by Vermont's Health Commissioner, Dr. Rick Hildebrant. He talks us through the recent federal-level changes to vaccine policy, and how those policies interact with state-level guidelines. We'll also learn more about this year's flu season and what you can do to keep yourself and your family healthy this winter.Dr. Hildebrant became the commissioner on Oct. 13, 2025. Formerly, he held several leadership roles at Rutland Regional Medical Center. He did his residency in internal medicine at Dartmouth Hitchcock and is a clinical assistant professor at UVM's Larner College of Medicine. Then, we'll talk with Era MacDonald, founder and director of the Merrymac Farm Sanctuary about her work saving animals and a new accreditation that will enable them to save even more.

It's our season 3 premiere! Julie Hirt, Karen Dendy Smith, and Meredith Tollison reunite after a holiday pause to reflect on grief, embodiment, boundaries, and the deep wisdom of lived experience. Julie shares openly about navigating the second year of grief after her father's death, while Karen and Meredith offer their own reflections on cellular memory, seasonal grief, and learning to be with what arises rather than pushing through it. Together, they explore how honoring emotions, saying no without justification, and listening to the body's timing can become profound acts of connection; to ourselves, to one another, and to the unseen guidance that weaves through our lives and relationships with animals.

Jordan Watts, co-founder and head designer of Jorde, joins the Ski Moms podcast to share her journey from competitive ski racing to creating a modern ski apparel brand. Born in Texas but raised in New Hampshire's ski country, Jordan's path to fashion design began on the slopes. She attended Burke Mountain Academy, where the demanding schedule of academics and training taught her invaluable time management skills and fostered an intensely competitive spirit. Jordan attended UVM before landing a job in luxury ski fashion, where she gained experience across sales, marketing, and operations. Working with her boyfriend (now fiancé) Jackson, Jordan launched Jorde with a clear vision: create classic, beautifully designed ski wear at an accessible luxury price point, using PFA-free fabrics and thoughtful details like monochromatic trims and innovative ankle patches.The brand focuses on timeless silhouettes that will last for years rather than trendy designs. Jordan personally handles customer service inquiries, helping customers find the right size and fit. The design process takes about two months per collection, with Jordan carefully selecting colors that work together and obsessing over details like button colors. Based in Stowe, Vermont, Jordan and Jackson run the two-person operation (with help from Jordan's mom) while maintaining work-life balance through daily walks with their dog and regular ski days. Jorde is sold at major retailers including Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, Backcountry, and Revolve, as well as boutique ski shops in Stowe, Aspen, Big Sky, and Sun Valley.Keep Up with the Latest from Jorde: Website:https://shopjorde.com/Instagram: https://www.pinterest.com/SHOPJORDE/_pins/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shopjordeKey Quotes:"I felt people wanted a more classic design, maybe more simple, but also still had that kind of attention to detail, those little details that make something so beautiful.""If you like your outfit, you're justParticipating destinations include:

In this episode of The UVM podcast, hosts Steve Cieslewicz and Nick Ferguson welcome Dennis Fallon, Executive Director of The Utility Arborist Association (UAA) to discuss the organization's strategic plans and evolution. Dennis shares the UAA's ambitious vision for the next 5 years, maintaining its historic role of supporting arborists while evolving to become the voice of the Right-of-Way (ROW) industry. This will involve driving industry norms and best management practices to influence a broader collection of stakeholders. An example is provided on the lack of standardization in the investigation of tree-caused outages. Utilities with advanced programs collect good data but not to one standard, and researchers therefore have a hard time utilizing this information and drawing conclusions from it. The UAA seeks to move the industry away from data ponds towards communal data lakes that we all stand to benefit from. In addition to the strategic vision for The UAA, the episode includes a debrief of the record-breaking Trees and Utilities event that took place in September 2025, and a brief on the Environmental Concerns in Right-of-Way Management Symposium that will take place May 11-14 2026 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Past proceedings from the conference can be found here.A huge thank you to the sponsor of this season and episode, Clear Path Utility Solutions.
Mike Kenny - MathFactLab: Helping to Make Math Easier to Learn. This is episode 799 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Mike Kenny taught 5th grade for 19 years: 4 in England and 15 in VT. Mike is the designer of MathFactLab. MathFactLab is based on the idea that pattern recognition makes math easier to learn. Each year, Mike found that many of his students came to fifth grade lacking basic math fact fluency. Frustrated that the math fact materials commercially available did not match what research recommended, he gradually came to the conclusion that he ought to try creating his own math fact program. MathFactLab is the result of several years of effort, much research, a great heap of advice, many drafts, and lots of trial and error in Mike's classroom and beyond. Mike has degrees from the University of Notre Dame, the College of William and Mary, and the Vermont Mathematics Initiative (at UVM). Our focus today is Mike's MathFactLab: Helping to Make Math Easier to Learn. So much to learn and think about! Thanks for listening! Thanks for sharing! Before you go...

What happens after the crowd roars, the lights fade, and the jersey is hung up? In this riveting episode of Collecting Insight, hosts Sara and Lori sit down with longtime friend and special guest Jeff Schulman—a former NHL draftee and current Athletic Director at the University of Vermont—for a raw, real, and timely conversation about the emotional journey of today's college athletes.Jeff brings decades of insight from both sides of the game: as a Division I hockey player and as the leader reshaping the student-athlete experience in an era defined by pressure, social media, NIL, and skyrocketing mental health concerns. He opens up about what's changed since his own college days, the toll expectations are taking on athletes now, and how UVM's trailblazing Catamount Sport Psychology and Counseling Program is helping students reclaim their well-being—and their identities—off the field.Expect unfiltered stories, surprising reflections, and even a few laughs (yes, including a legendary ECAC goal scored against Harvard… while one teammate watched from the penalty box).
