What happens when an astrologer's meditation on birth charts opens unexpected doorways to the spirit realm? Susan Reynolds never planned to communicate with the dead—in fact, she was once so terrified of ghosts that she would leave the room if anyone mentioned them. Yet over her 40-year journey as an astrologer, the veil between worlds kept thinning until she could no longer ignore the messages coming through.Susan's remarkable story begins with a routine pre-reading meditation that unexpectedly revealed a client's past life as an Irish farmer's wife with seven children. Though hesitant to share what seemed like a "boring" vision, Susan watched in amazement as this revelation transformed her client's life, lifting the burden of guilt the woman had carried about choosing career over family. This pivotal moment taught Susan to trust the information coming through, regardless of how it might be received.The spiritual downloads didn't stop with past lives. During readings, deceased loved ones began appearing with urgent messages for her clients. "I'm not a medium," Susan insists, explaining that unlike professional mediums, she can't summon spirits at will—they simply show up. One particularly moving encounter involved a father who had passed just weeks earlier, desperately wanting his daughter to know he loved her one last time.For years, Susan maintained a double life—corporate professional by day, intuitive astrologer by nights and weekends—until her spirit guides abruptly announced it was time for her to pursue her calling full-time. This dramatic career shift allowed her unique approach to astrology to fully bloom, combining traditional chart analysis with spiritual insights that address the soul's journey across lifetimes.Whether you're a skeptic, a spiritual seeker, or somewhere in between, Susan's experiences offer a fascinating glimpse into what happens when analytical practice meets intuitive gifts. Her story reminds us that our greatest strengths often emerge from embracing the very things that once frightened us most.Ready to explore your own cosmic blueprint?

This week's astrology shows the potential for healing messages to come through. You may also find yourself contemplating deeply on what really matters to you. This week's astrology includes:- Mercury in Aries conjunct Chiron: Healing words and thoughts, healing messages. These thoughts or messages may arise internally, via dreams, synchronicity, or from an external source . You may feel called to reflect on a situation where there's discomfort in an effort to bring help to what hurts. Also, receiving words of wisdom or connecting with a teacher or mentor. You may simply find the exact assistance you need (or offer that assistance to others). Also, unconscious thought patterns around self-sacrifice may arise.- Mercury in Aries aspect to the Pallas-Jupiter trine: Your reflections, thoughts, or communications may bring about a sense of expansion, growth, and victory. Your healing process has an impact on others.- Mercury moves into Taurus on Sat 5/10: Thoughts, communication, and analysis shifts to furthering your stability, and deepening into what's important for you right now. This shift also begins Mercury's square to Pluto in Aquarius, which will be exact next week.- Mercury square Pluto (exact next week): Symbolizes intense thoughts, communications, or ideas. This can feel like you're being drawn into a rabbit hole to explore something deep and meaningful to you. It can also be experienced as rumination at times. Allow your intense thoughts to arise, find an outlet for them, and let the energy flow thru you.- Venus in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius: Support and assistance in your healing journey, a sense of flow when you are real about what your experience is right now, and when you explore the feelings beneath the feelings.- Mars in Leo square Vesta in Scorpio: Taking action on the things that feel sacred to you, tending to the things that keep you alive, vital, and able to move thru the world every day, bringing your power and enthusiasm to a situation. Mars-Vesta brings together our passion and our ability to hold space for ourselves and others.Reflection Questions:1. What insight are you seeking this week?2. What messages are emerging thru you?3. What needs regular tending in your life, and how can you bring ritual (sacredness) to it?...Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

KINTO Join - a provider of sustainable mobility applications has revealed the findings of its survey which found that 45% of commuters in Ireland find their journey to work or university stressful. The research - conducted by Censuswide and involving 1,000 people who commute to work or university in the Republic of Ireland - found that more than half (51%) have considered changing their commute method. However, 48% have never tried a different mode of transport for their commute. Traffic delays and congestion were cited by 44% of commuters as one of their biggest frustrations. The other leading frustrations were fuel costs (30%), the time lost having to commute (30%), the weather (29%), and delays with services (15%). Driving by car is the most popular primary mode of transport (51%) among commuters. However, only 16% prefer to travel this way. If available, the bus was the most preferred means of commuting (25%), followed by the train (24%) and walking (23%). One in ten (10%) respondents said they would prefer a company or university shuttle. In urban areas, driving by car and getting the bus were tied for the top spot as the most popular primary mode of transport (at 32% respectively). In terms of generations, almost twice as many Generation X commuters drive by car (63%) than Generation Z commuters (32%). Of those who commute by car, 91% always or mostly do so alone. Their top reasons for travelling to work or university by car are that it is more time-efficient (48%), it is the only option (43%), and inadequate public transport accessibility (34%). The study found that the average daily commute time is around 1 hour and 10 minutes, whilst the average daily cost is €10. Train commuters have the most expensive journey to work or university (€13.14). At the other end of the scale, (excluding walkers) eBike commuters have the least expensive commute (€4.71). As for the average distance of a one-way commute, this is just shy of 17km, with those in Roscommon (30.56km), Wicklow (24.97km), and Westmeath (23.76km) travelling furthest. Meanwhile, respondents in Longford (6.13km), Waterford (9.58km), and Donegal (11km) have the shortest distances to travel. Patrizia Niehaus, CEO, KINTO Join Ltd, said: "It's ironic that while so many commuters in Ireland drive alone out of necessity, a significant number would actually prefer not to. They're frustrated - by traffic, rising fuel costs, and the stress of it all - but don't feel they have another choice. Of course, large-scale infrastructure upgrades are vital, but they take time. In the meantime, the congestion worsens, and emissions reduction targets slip further out of reach. That's why action at the micro-level is so critical. "A large share of short-distance travel happens for work and education. Employers and institutions are uniquely positioned to support more sustainable commuting through initiatives like shared transport schemes, carpooling platforms, or incentives for walking and cycling. When organisations take the lead, they not only support their own sustainability goals, but also drive behavioural change that benefits entire communities - cutting emissions, easing traffic, and giving people what they clearly want: the freedom not to drive alone."

Wishing you all a very Marvellous May! Mentioned in the podcast:Witch Country Ghost StoriesKitchen Witch audiobookxxx
Hello and welcome. Today is a beautiful day where I live. The sky is a mix of blue and white clouds. I've already been outside playing with my horse this morning. It's such a joy to see him roll around—he almost looks like he's laughing—and he loves the grass so much. Right now, the grass here is a vivid green, though it won't last much longer. In California, within another month or two, everything usually turns brown. We've had more rain than usual this year, so for now, welcome to my green world. Today's Focus: Expanding Wealth Today, we're going to expand our potential for wealth—more and more wealth. We'll look at where we already have abundance in our lives and invite even more of what we've been designing to show up in our current reality. This past week, I did some interesting past-life regression work and found some exceptionally uncomfortable lifetimes stored in my body. It's not my favorite feeling, especially after a good night's sleep, but it does call for awareness. If you're experiencing parts of your reality that don't yet match your desires, you're not alone. I've been on this planet for a few decades, and I've learned that sometimes our dreams and reality don't align perfectly—yet. For example, I've dreamed of living on a horse ranch, and now I do! My car is a close match for what I desire too, though I see an electric car in my future. Expansion often happens when we can love what we have while still inviting what we desire. Setting Up for Meditation Today, we're going to dive into a guided meditation. Please give yourself the next 10 minutes. This time is for you, to allow a real shift toward the life you've been seeking. This is the Energy Clearing for Life podcast. I'm excited to share that I now offer a 12-week intensive where I work directly with you, specifically for your transformation. We clear past relationships, narcissistic relationships, energy vampire relationships, and we invite in a new peacefulness, calming your nervous center. I can additionally help you expand your social presence—grow your followers and friends naturally, the way I do. If you'd like to explore working together, send me an email at happypublishing@gmail.com. Begin the Guided Meditation Sit up straight with your head balanced comfortably over your shoulders. (I'm feeling a lot of energy releasing already—some of it may be yours. I'm highly intuitive and often tap into the audience this way.) Take a deep breath. Place your feet firmly on the ground about a foot apart. Connecting with Earth Energy Imagine pulling Earth energy up through the balls of your feet. Pull that beautiful energy up through your knees. Now, bring red energy through the base of your spine—the root chakra. This chakra is tied to your sense of security. Allow this energy to deepen, helping you feel more grounded and connected. Opening the Second Chakra: Creativity and Money Next, roll orange energy through your second chakra (located near your sexual organs). This chakra relates to money, creativity, and sexual energy. Imagine a clockwise circle of orange light spinning here. Ask it to release anything outdated or heavy—especially old traumas stored from past lives. Allow silver energy to flow into this space, refreshing and healing it. Strengthening the Third Chakra: Self-Care and Confidence Move up to your third chakra, located at your solar plexus. This area glows a bright yellow and governs self-care and personal power. Send bright, healing yellow light through your solar plexus and allow any tension or stuck energy to clear. Opening the Heart Chakra: Healing and Compassion Now move up into your heart chakra. You might want to place your hand over your heart. The heart chakra vibrates with a green color. It connects you to the Divine and to compassion. Many of us carry wounds here from betrayal or loss. Without needing to relive the pain, simply ask for healing, strength, and balance in this beautiful heart space. Clearing the Throat Chakra: Speaking Your Truth Next, move into the throat chakra. This chakra shines a blue color. Roll beautiful, clear blue energy through your throat. This is your center for speaking your truth. Cultures across history often silenced people—children, women, even young princes. Release any leftover energy or belief systems that keep you from speaking freely. Breathe in fresh blue energy and allow your voice to strengthen. Awakening the Third Eye Chakra: Intuition and Knowing Now move up into the third eye chakra, which vibrates a violet color. This chakra holds telepathic capacities and clear knowing (claircognizance). In many past lives, people with these abilities were persecuted. Send love and healing to any part of you that has been wounded for being intuitive. Ask to be the best vessel for your Divine awareness, without fear or hesitation. Expanding Beyond: Morphogenetic Chakras Now, extend your awareness to the seventh through fifteenth chakras—the morphogenetic chakras. They surround you and connect you to higher consciousness and the Earth. Simply ask: "God, please clear all my morphogenetic chakras. Please help me release anything holding me back." Inviting Wealth into Every Area Now let's consciously invite wealth into every part of your life: Wealth in your body, hands, teeth, shoulders Wealth in your bank account Wealth in your savings account Wealth where you once leaked energy—now fully healed Surround yourself with the feeling of wealth. See if you can notice one area of your life where you are already wealthy. For me: I am wealthy with my beautiful horse. I am wealthy with my three beautiful children growing up. I am wealthy with where I live—trees, grass, acres of beauty. Focus on that fullness. Feel it. Breathe it in. Lowering Barriers and Opening to More Now, gently lower your energetic barriers. Allow more ways for money, opportunities, and systems of support to show up with ease. Give yourself permission to receive wealth without trying so hard. Breathe deeply into this expanded field of receiving. Closing and Invitation Thank you so much for joining me today. I'm so joyful that you're here. If you feel called to work with me, I currently have four openings for my 12-week immersion program. You can email me at happypublishing@gmail.com. Thank you for listening. Wishing you the most amazing day ahead! #meditation, #guidedmeditation, #energyclearing, #abundance, #manifestation, #wealthmindset, #spiritualawakening, #chakraclearing, #mindfulness, #healingjourney, #selfhealing, #highvibes, #raiseyourvibration, #selflove, #soulgrowth, #pastliferegression, #intuitivehealing, #grounding, #heartchakra, #throatchakra, #thirdchakra, #energyhealing, #lawofattraction, #mindsetshift, #innerpeace
The astrology this week is lighter and more liminal than the last several weeks. It invites a re-enchantment with life, especially in matters of your heart. This week's astrology includes:- Venus moves into Aries on Wed 4/30: An energizing initiation of fresh energy around relationships, love, beauty, healing pursuits, art, creativity. You may feel a readiness to move forward now, especially on relational themes that were on your heart in February and March (since Venus was already in Aries in Feb 5 – March 27 as a part of its retrograde process).- Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries: Both Saturn and Neptune have been an integral part of this Venus Retrograde this March – April. The conjunction becoming exact this week symbolizes a further re-enchantment of your capacity for love, union, and enjoyment. There's potential for full immersion into relational or creative things . . . as well as possibilities for enmeshment, blurring of boundaries, or illusions to arise. Neptune often helps us see our idealizations first by experiencing them unconsciously (i.e. being “in it” first). Over time we get to see people and situations as they are (rather than how we want them to be). There's beauty in the ideal as well as the reality when we hold it softly.- First Quarter Moon in Leo on Sun 5/4 at 6:52am PT: This point in the lunar cycle marks a crossroads for decisions. You may feel drawn to focus or reorient your energy toward what is most pressing right now. This First Quarter Moon in Leo emphasizes your relationship to giving and receiving affection, attention, and your magnetic pull on others. It provides opportunities to embody your inner spark. This First Quarter Moon also punctuates the dissipating Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square, so there may be additional insights or clarity around your autonomy, power, and control.- Pluto Stations Retrograde: This is a subtle component of the astrology this week. Pluto (along with the other outer planets) is retrograde about half the year. It's retrograde means that over the summer and fall, Pluto will slowly and slightly shift back a few degrees in the zodiac to about 0 degrees Aquarius. This symbolizes a concentration of Pluto in this place, meaning that any transits to Pluto will be more concrete, slow, steady, and take time to integrate.- Sun-Uranus in Taurus opposite Vesta-Juno in Scorpio: Bringing light, liberation, and awakening to the things that you are devoted to.Reflection Questions: 1. What is your heart telling you now? 2. How do you tend to idealize people or situations? 3. How can you embody both strength and flexibility?Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

University of Michigan Mira Mutnik, Jake Kanetis, and Marty Kilbane Amazing conversation with not 1, not 2, but 3 PhD students at the University of Michigan this week! A true, authentic conversation about the innovation and design of future prosthesis and the growth and research of creating a surgical procedures to aid in using these newly designed prosthesis all with the purpose of replicating the natural human movement. We packed so much conversation into this episode with so much more we could have talked about. Once again, we discussed what we could, but some details must be left out due to the highly competitive field these young adults are working in. What I love about these three students is that even though they are all in a different sector, so to speak, of research: Mira-above limb amputees, Jake-below limb amputees, and Marty-prosthetics, they are all working towards the same goal; creating the best way to unify the surgical procedure and prosthesis to give the amputee the best, most natural movement possible. Jake all hooked up to monitor human movement to collect data for his research Marty working with a study participant on their design of a prosthesis they are working on in the lab. Mira collecting data on her upper limb project and how to get the best hand movement and dexterity of a prosthesis. We had a great discussion of what it could look like for the future of amputees and the length of time these studies take. There are a lot of hoops to jump through, safety regulations, data collecting, and trials. The FDA must approve procedures and products that they hope to take to market some day, but these students have become three of the many students going through the program at University of Michigan, working tirelessly to bring this technology closer to us being able to access it. I find it so unique to see the shift from making the newest, coolest, most advanced products for us to wear, as amputees, to surgical procedures to make our bodies work in harmony with a prosthesis. The one thing we did dive deep into was the procedure of getting candidates who fit the bill to doing the trial procedures, and finding willing participants as well. This can be so tricky as we struggle with the idea of going back in and revision the original amputation in hopes that the outcome will be the same if not better, but the concern that it could be worse. I hope you will join us today, listen to the entire podcast and see what dedication these students have for helping our amputee community, what motivates them to continue into this higher level of study, and what their plans are for their future after graduation.

This week's astrology deepens some themes we've been experiencing over the last week and month. The astrology symbolizes a process where we continue to encounter shadow (unconscious parts) of ourselves. This is a process of allowing more of yourself to come forward. This process is a rebirth - possibility involving labor pains, relief, existential contemplation, and release into the unknown of a new beginning . This week's astrology includes:- Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square: Further clarifying and amplifying patterns of power, autonomy to act, control, deep healing that can unfold via conscious awareness of these issues- Sun in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius: Restructuring ego, identity, and relationship to what masculinity means to you, composting what may be false identity- Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius: Empowering your righteous rage, exposing new parts of self that are connected to your enthusiasm for life, and your boundaries- New Moon in Taurus on Sunday, April 27 at 12:31pm PT: Planting new seeds in your psyche around what you need/want to live, grow, exist with security and stability . . . something new is pushing thru the soil- Venus conjunct Saturn & North Node in Pisces: Considering relational agreements, boundaries, and non-negotiable qualities in relationship. Also contemplating your values and how you connect with beauty, love, and pleasure in your life. North Node brings an open portal of possibilities.- Venus-Saturn in Pisces trine Juno in Scorpio: Opportunities for assistance and protection when you assume an internal experience of your worthiness.- Pallas Athena in Aquarius trine Jupiter in Gemini: Opportunities for strategic thinking that leads to hope, optimism, or more options.Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

Hart, Fitzy and Johnson follow-up on their discussion about QB Nico Iamaleava from earlier in the show, as the QB has since found a new NCAA home. Plus, the guys wish Bill Belichick a very happy 73rd birthday in their own unique way.
Gloucester Cathedral, St Peter's Abbey before the dissolution in 1540, was founded in 1541. The ‘Deed of Endowment', one of three documents created for the occasion features in this video complete with flattering portrait of King Henry VIII, a Garter Badge, badge of the Prince of Wales and the original green and white (the Tudor colours) silk cord which once held the great seal. The oldest items in the archive are pages from Aelfric's The Lives of Saints which had been reused as decorative pages in a later book binding. They are around 1000 years old and look as fresh as the day they were written!The most significant item to the Cathedral is its ‘Historia,' created by monks at the Abbey in the 1390s and recording as much of the Abbey's history as they were able to. Archivist Rebecca Phillips is fairly confident that they didn't have written records from which to source information and so this is the first time the oral history of the abbey had been written down. It would then have been copied and distributed to daughter houses of the Abbey to share their story and engender a sense of belonging. British History is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.We get to see these items up close in this video plus an exquisitely embroidered King James Bible, the first Chapter Book of the Cathedral containing the signature of William Laud, and an ironic reliquary. The reliquary is thought to contain a fragment of the stake on which Bishop Hooper, Bishop of Gloucester, was burned during Mary I's reign. It's a beautifully carved and decorated box, the irony being in that Hopper was opposed to the use of relics. I hope you enjoy this video. If you do please consider subscribing to my Youtube channel and, if you can afford it, becoming a paid subscriber here as it helps me continue creating informative and fun content like this.Wishing you a fabulous day!Philippa
Wishing you could find a way to make exercise a consistent part of your life, but never seem to be able to do it? If that's you, or if you struggle with enjoying fitness at all, you're going to want to press play immediately. This week we're discussing handling gym anxiety, finding personal preferences in fitness, and the impact of childhood experiences on our exercise habits as adults. Creating new narratives around exercise is just the first step towards a more positive relationship with physical activity, which is something we all desire and is possible for all of us. IMPORTANT: This episode is the second part of last week's episode. If you haven't listened to that one yet, we highly recommend you do so prior to listening to this week's episode. Otherwise, you may feel like you're eavesdropping on a conversation next to you in a coffee shop, just WISHING you were able to hear the first part of the story (which luckily for you, you can). Key Takeaways:Building self-trust through exercise is a journey.Consistency is more important than perfection in fitness.Finding a supportive community can enhance motivation.Personal preferences in fitness should guide exercise choices.Childhood experiences can shape adult attitudes towards exercise.It's important to try different activities to discover what you enjoy.Creating new narratives around exercise can improve self-worth.Flexibility in fitness routines is key to long-term success.Taking action is essential for building self-trust in fitness.Love, Meg & MaggiFollow us:InstagramTikTokFacebookYoutube Music curtesy of LiQWYD[self-trust, exercise, fitness, mindset, consistency, gym anxiety, personal preferences, childhood experiences, narrative change]
Send us a textHave you ever caught yourself saying "If only..." and then describing what would make your life better? We all create these conditional scenarios, believing our happiness depends on changing circumstances. But what if the most powerful "if-then" statement already exists in scripture?Today we dive into Jesus's profound words from John 15:7: "If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you." Unlike our worldly conditional thinking, this divine promise offers something far more transformative – a relationship with Christ that changes everything.The Christian journey isn't about wishful thinking or desperately hoping circumstances might improve. It's about taking God at His word and standing firmly on His promises regardless of how things appear. When we stop merely wishing and start speaking God's Word, when we cease hoping and start believing with confidence, transformation follows.God hasn't left us to figure life out alone. He's provided clear direction through scripture and invites us into an abiding relationship where our desires align with His heart. This process unfolds over time as we consistently choose to remain in Christ and let His words take root within us.Ready to exchange your conditional scenarios for God's powerful promises? Join us as we discover what happens when we truly abide in Jesus and let His words abide in us. Remember, if God is for you, who can be against you? What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.Support the show

"Wishing you a huge mazel tov on the engagement of Dalia to Yared Posnasky." Rav Yehuda said in the name of Rav that a conspiring witness pays according to his share. After four unsuccessful attempts to explain the meaning of his statement, they explain it to be a case where the witness said he was convicted and charged money in a court for being a conspiring witness. Based on his testimony, he can be obligated to pay his share, even though his testimony cannot incriminate the other witness. If conspiring witnesses testify that a man divorced his wife and did not pay her the ketuba money, how is the payment for their punishment assessed, as they tried to obligate him to pay money that he may have had to pay later if he predeceases his wife or divorces her? If conspiring witnesses testify that a debtor who had a ten-year loan had a thirty-day loan, how is the payment for their punishment assessed? Both these cases are explained in the Mishna. Rav Yehuda says in the name of Rav that a ten-year loan is canceled when the shmita year arrives. Rav Kahana raises a difficulty on his statement from the Mishna as it implies that a ten-year loan can be collected. Rava resolves the contradiction. According to an alternative version of the sugya, Rav Yehuda said in the name of Rav the opposite - that a ten-year loan is collected. Rav Kahana supported his statement from our Mishna.Rava rejects the support from the Mishna. Rav Yehuda says in the name of Shmuel that if one loans another upon the condition that the shmita year not cancel the loan, the loan is canceled anyway as the condition is invalid. However, this contradicts a different statement of Shmuel regarding ona'ah, that a condition that goes against the Torah is valid if the issue relates to money. How is this resolved? Two other statements are brought by Rav Yehuda says in the name of Rav and Rav Kahana raises a difficulty against them - one about laws of Shabbat and one about laws of mikveh.
This week's astrology focuses on how we can reclaim parts of ourselves that have been disowned or distorted via unconscious processes. There is a strong theme of action, enthusiasm, expression, and also strong activation. This week's astrology includes:- Mercury moves into Aries (and will conjunct Neptune in Pisces & sextile Pluto in Aquarius): Quick thinking, inspired talks, rapid insights, a shift in your perception around issues that have been uncertain or ambiguous for the past month or two. Watch for changes in your dreams, thoughts, & daydreams - and what they may be saying to you now.- Mars moves into Leo (and will oppose Pluto in Aquarius & trine Neptune in Aries): Excitement! Enthusiasm to act, share, express, and be creative in ways that are deeply meaningful to you. Possibly compelled to get something off your chest. Connecting to your power, vitality, courage, and desire to fight for what's important to you.- Sun moves into Taurus: Conscious focus on rooting in, developing and stabilizing. Finding meaningful experiences via the material and sensory world.- Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square: This is a dynamic, energizing, and enlivening combo! It may be quite activating and spur you into action or bring up strong emotions. Possibility for unconscious patterns to arise around power, manipulation, shame, or control. Notice what activates you and give your feelings space to exist. Also symbolizes things like occultism, deep emotional healing, and underworld journeys that bring you closer to your true self.- Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius: Emotional connection to the deeper more intimate parts of yourself and your authentic nature. Deciding what you want to focus on now that is most important to you.- Juno Asteroid (retrograde) moves back into Scorpio: Reconnecting with your inner resilience - especially around issues of intimacy, bonding deeply with other people, and how you move through the varied challenges of long-term commitments. Juno in Scorpio is about the dance between distance and closeness in relationships; and how we can feel safe enough to be vulnerable and depend on others.Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

I wanted to share that I'm going to unplug for a while—taking a step back from the everyday buzz to dive deeply into self-care and creativity.The past Aries Solar Eclipse stirred something powerful in me—activating my 11th and 5th house, where community meets joy. For so long, I've been focused on helping others and building healing spaces. But this eclipse reminded me to reconnect with my own light and playfulness.I'm stepping into a season where I make space for radical self-care, creativity, and relaxation. Not because something is wrong, but because something beautiful is blooming within, and I need time to nurture it.

Hope isn't just wishful thinking – it's believing good things can happen even amid challenges. In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Beth Trammell and Leslie Bolser unpack how to nurture this essential quality in children at every developmental stage.For parents of younger children, we discuss the importance of mindful language, highlighting how casually using "hope" in disciplinary contexts ("I hope I don't have to come in there...") might undermine the positive meaning we want kids to embrace. Instead, we offer practical examples for modeling hope as positive anticipation in everyday conversations with little ones.As children grow into the elementary and middle school years, the conversation shifts to more explicit teaching strategies. We share age-appropriate ways to engage children in deeper reflections about hope beyond superficial wishes, helping them expand their understanding of this powerful concept. For teenagers facing bigger disappointments and uncertain futures, we explore the delicate balance between acknowledging hardships while nurturing realistic optimism.Most crucially, we address when parents should be concerned about hopelessness in their children. Dr. Trammell provides clear guidance on recognizing behavioral changes that might signal a need for professional support, along with a comprehensive overview of resources available – from school counselors to mental health professionals. We tackle the myth that discussing difficult topics like self-harm might "plant ideas," emphasizing that open, caring conversations are actually protective.Whether you're parenting toddlers, tweens, or teenagers, this episode offers valuable insights to help you foster hope as a foundational strength in your children's lives. Listen now and discover how small shifts in your approach can make a significant difference in how your child views life's possibilities.Support the showwww.bethtrammell.com
Today we explore the concept of "self-care bulldozing" – how parents (especially mothers) create more work for themselves by making it difficult for partners to help effectively. Breaking these patterns can remove what feels like "50 pounds of bricks" from your shoulders and create more sustainable partnership in parenting.• Self-care bulldozing typically shows up as micromanaging, gatekeeping, or not voicing needs. • The solution centers around direct communication rather than expecting mind-reading. • Two key phrases to remember: "Wishing will not make it so" and "It never hurts to ask"• Practical tools and ideas for better teamwork will be discussed. Join us next week as we dive into "parenting from the neck up" and how this common error creates challenges with our children.✨Want more?1) Use this link for a FREE 20 min clarity call with Sustainable Parenting.2) Download the FREE pdf. on getting kids to listen.3) Buy a 3 session Coaching Bundle (saving you $100) - for THREE 30-min sessions 1:1 with ME, where we get right to the heart of your challenges, and give you small, powerful shifts that make a huge difference fast.

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos. In 2026, we're traveling to the Celtic nation of Galicia in Spain. We'll dive deep into the history and legends of the Galician Celts, uncovering their connections to Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. We'll walk the same lands where Celtic warriors once roamed, hear the myths passed down through generations, and experience the magic of authentic Galician Celtic music, alive with passion and history. This isn't just a trip—it's a journey into the heart of a Celtic culture unlike any other. Will you join us?

Thank you for your podcast. I discovered Celtic music in the 1990s in France with a french band that has since disappeared, Tonynara. I could be wrong but I don't think I've ever heard it on your podcast. This group remains a reference for me and I can only advise you to play one or two songs at the next opportunity. Thanks !” Caleb Cotter sent a photo: "Hi Marc, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for featuring the Irish Lassies' music this year. You've introduced me to so many incredible artists, and I truly appreciate that! I've also been really enjoying your Dancing with Hobbits album—it's fantastic! You definitely nailed it with that project, and you should be incredibly proud of it. You've always encouraged us to send over recommendations, so I wanted to share one with you: My friend's band, The Mad Ferret from Edinburgh, UK. They're amazing, and I think you'd really enjoy their music. Here's one of my favorite tracks that I think you'll love. Also, the Lassies would like to send you something in the mail as a thank you. Could you please share an address where we can send it? Wishing you a wonderful New Year and thank you again for everything you do for the Celtic music community!” Patrick Rieger emailed photos: "Hi Marc, Some more celtic musicians from the family's renaissance festival season, this time the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival. Pittsburgh is a small faire, but the musicians are still great. We could only spend one day there, so we didn't see them all. We did get to see The Reelin' Rogues, The Craic Show, Sarah the Harpist (Sarah Marie Mullen), and just as we were leaving at the end of the day, Magnus and Maggie. Despite the musicians and us seeing each other one or two times a year, we still get to be friends. Big smiles. Daniel from the Craic Show wanting to clink glasses at the Pirates Pub. Sarah and my wife Gayle got into a conversation about environmental issues.”
