From a strict Mormon upbringing in Texas to the violent world of cartel-connected crime, Tyler's story is one of the wildest we've heard. In this episode, Tyler explains how he went from being a high school kid making money transporting drugs to working around human-smuggling networks along the Texas–Mexico border. He describes witnessing extreme cartel violence at a young age, moving migrants through border towns, becoming involved in violent contract work in Mexico, and later building a large drug business back home. Tyler also opens up about the side of that lifestyle people rarely talk about—the paranoia, emotional numbness, PTSD, memory problems, prison, and the difficulty of returning to a normal life after years surrounded by violence. We discuss: • Growing up in a strict Mormon household • Getting recruited into drug transportation as a teenager • Witnessing cartel violence for the first time • How human-smuggling networks operate along the border • Coyotes, safe houses, spotters, burner phones, and cartel organization • His descent into increasingly violent criminal work • Building a drug business through Snapchat • His 2019 arrest and prison sentence • The lasting psychological effects of the lifestyle • Therapy, family, faith, and trying to rebuild his life This conversation contains descriptions of violence, drug trafficking, and other criminal activity. It is presented for documentary, educational, and entertainment purposes and is not intended to promote or encourage illegal behavior. This Episode Is #Sponsored By The Following: BetterHelp!

(Tisarana Buddhist Monastery) The theme of this Sunday talk, is witnessing experience as it is. The awakened mind, does not demand anything be different to what it is, in the moment free of judgement. The theme that this builds upon, is "Santitikko"- Something that can be verified for oneself. If we can see suffering for what it is, as its is now, in the moment, we get out of it a little easier. So the practice becomes one of Witnessing the way it is now, first. Action can follow later if necessary.

In Episode 223, we explore Luke 12:8-12 and one of the most personal and searching promises Jesus ever made. We've all been there—the moment when someone in the group says something that puts your faith on the spot, everyone turns to look at you, and the very human temptation is to take a small step back and quietly distance yourself. Jesus says: don't do that with Me. Through guided meditation, discover the breathtaking promise at the heart of this passage: "Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, the Son of Man will also acknowledge in the presence of God's angels." This is one of the most personal promises in all of the Gospels. Jesus is saying: if you stand up for Me in front of people—if you own Me, claim Me, refuse to distance yourself from Me when it gets uncomfortable—I will stand up for you in front of the angels of God. The God of the universe will say your name. He will acknowledge you. He will claim you as His own before the heavenly host. And the reverse is equally sobering: "But anyone who denies me here on earth will be denied before God's angels." This episode explores what this means in practice. This isn't about a single moment of weakness—Peter denied Jesus three times and was restored. This is about a pattern. A life lived at a careful distance from Jesus in public. A faith kept carefully private to avoid the cost of association. A habit of staying quiet when His name comes up, of omitting Him from conversations where He belongs, of being known as a good person but not as a follower of Jesus. This episode also explores the relief Jesus offers to those who are afraid of speaking up. When you're put on the spot, when you're brought before authorities, when you don't know what to say—don't worry. The Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what needs to be said. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to be a theologian or a trained apologist. You don't have to have a perfect argument or a polished testimony. You just have to be willing to stand up. And when you do, the Holy Spirit will show up. Learn how to identify the specific situations where you've been quietly distancing yourself from Jesus—the conversations where His name hasn't come up but it should, the relationships where people don't know you follow Him, the moments where someone said something about faith and you stayed silent. Discover what it means to stand up for Jesus not just in safe spaces but in the places where it actually costs something. Find the courage and confidence that comes from knowing that when you acknowledge Jesus publicly, He acknowledges you before the angels of God—and the Holy Spirit will give you the words when you need them.

He has taught extensively in North America, Europe, and Australasia. He was particularly empowered by Kyabje Thinley Norbu Rinpoche to teach from A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar. “What I've learned through Buddhist practice and being with great teachers is that the fixed ideas of reality and viewing the world were 180 degrees off.

It's been almost one year since Charlie Kirk was murdered on the campus of Utah Valley University. Now, we're learning that hundreds of people who were there -- who witnessed the shooting -- have applied for victim benefits. At the same time, we're learning about some controversy surrounding the way UVU plans to honor Charlie Kirk on the anniversary of his death. For this segment, Inside Sources digs into both stories.

Someone tells you they're a Christian. What should you ask next? On this Witness Wednesday, listen in as Todd demonstrates how to move past labels, uncover what people actually believe, and naturally steer conversations toward the gospel. Segment 1 • Todd meets Francisco, a professing Christian who believes there's room for other religions. • How do you challenge religious pluralism without getting lost in an argument? • Learn how a few simple questions can reveal what someone really believes about Jesus. Segment 2 • Oren says he's a Christian and knows he's going to heaven—but Todd keeps asking questions. • What should you ask to find out whether someone actually understands the gospel? • Why you shouldn't end the conversation just because someone says, “I'm a Christian.” Segment 3 • Jesse doesn't believe in God, sees nothing wrong with pornography, and isn't bothered by the thought of hell. • What do you say when someone seems completely unmoved by the consequences of sin? • Watch how digging deeper uncovers something far more personal behind Jesse's unbelief. Segment 4 • A psychology student believes people are basically good and morality depends on the situation. • See how Todd uses everyday questions about lying, stealing, and lust to challenge that worldview. • Learn how to move naturally from morality to the good news of the gospel. ___ Thanks for listening!

Welcome to another in our Backstage episode of Roots Music Rambler. These are short interviews Frank and Falls are able to grab backstage (or just somewhere in person rather than on our virtual, longer-form interview episodes) and catch up briefly. This week Falls got a chance to catch up with the rocket ship that is becoming Hunter Flynn before a recent show he did in Louisville. Falls met Hunter in February on the set of another podcast: Listen Honey! With Katie Combs and the two planned for Flynn to come on Roots Music Rambler. But Hunter got busy shortly after! He signed a record deal, hired a full band, jumped in the studio to record his first full-length studio album (due out later this year) and a lot more. He's released a couple of singles from the new record this summer and even released a pretty fun music video for his single, “Robbing a Bank.” Falls and Flynn finally caught up after Hunter's sound check at a recent Louisville show so he could tell his amazing story to Roots Music Rambler. This one, kids, will send chills up your spine. Hunter told us about his dramatic revelation to focus on his art, selling insurance, growing up in Pulaski County, Kentucky and what the rocket ship feeling is really like. Flynn is a rare breed for a relatively young artist: He's focused, clear on the vision for his art and music, and extremely talented and affable. No wonder people keep comparing him to Tyler Childers. See for yourself on this Backstage episode of Roots Music Rambler.

The show starts off today with everyone saying how great of a Red Sox team this is. Is this team the best turn around team in Boston sports history? Was Marcelo Mayer being traded a warning sign for Roman Anthony if he can't behave? Everyone then questions Luke Murray's decision to bring in his own commentary team for BC basketball. And Jarren Duran recognizes that he hasn't been playing well.

Your stories don't define you. How you tell them will. Hi! I'm Sarah Elkins, your host and chief storymaker at Elkins Consulting. If you've been listening to my show for a while, you've probably noticed a big change in the format in recent weeks. Summertime is hard on podcasters! We lose a lot of our listeners this time of year and it can be difficult to be motivated to keep putting out quality content when we know people aren't as likely to listen. This summer I've been focused on brief, less than 20-minute episodes that keep a person's attention while still offering insights and entertainment. What you've been hearing, and will continue to hear in each episode, is a brief story of pivotal moment in my life, and then a thread pulled to generate insights about it. I have two goals for you, dear listeners: One – to uncover your related story for you to add to your collection to practice and have ready when the opportunity presents itself. And two – to demonstrate storytelling in a practical, approachable way so you hear how I compose my words, phrases, and use tone-of-voice to add dynamics and meaning. In today's episode you'll hear about a pivotal moment that changed me, a story filled with grief and joy in the same moment. Jewish tradition emphasizes that humans are uniquely capable of holding space for seemingly contradictory emotions at the same time, grief & joy, sorrow and gratitude. That it's part of our human experience, and the reason grief can feel so heavy and liberating at the same time. Given that my family experienced a lot of grief over the course of around two years, first my father-in-law, then two close friends who had fatal accidents but were otherwise healthy, and then my father, it's not surprising that those two years had me deeply rethinking my priorities. Which is why this pivotal moment, the one I'm about to describe, came as a surprise to me. I was sitting in a church, attending a memorial service for the mother of a dear family friend. I don't have a memory of reading her obituary, though I'm sure I did. What was deeply memorable was what the majority of people said as they took turns standing and speaking about their mother, grandmother, aunt, colleague, and friend. Almost every one of them mentioned receiving birthday cards and letters every year. They spoke about what it meant to them to see the envelope with her handwriting on it, that they waited until the day of the birthday to open it, no matter how many days ahead it arrived, that they treasured seeing the perfect card she would select, the beautiful, thoughtful words she would write, the way they felt when they held the paper in their hands – seen, loved, valued. Witnessing this outpouring of similar stories made me wonder what stories my family and friends will share when I'm no longer living among them. It was a pivotal moment - a reminder - that if I want to avoid regret, I must live in alignment with how I want to be known. Listeners, now it's your turn - What stories do people tell when you're not around? What stories are you sharing about your loved ones that will continue their legacy beyond your lifetime? The stories we tell about people say everything about who we are and what matters to us, so what stories are people telling about you? Are they consistently in alignment with the legacy you want to leave behind? --- Thanks for listening to Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will.

In part two of this series, we explore practical ways to stir your heart, show the love of God, and share the good news of Jesus with those around you who may not know Him. How Do We Practice Witnessing? Zane Witcher

Witnessing to others can often come with awkwardness and anxiety. Sometimes it can devolve into arrogance and arguments. In today's message, pastor Dan explains how we can “always be ready” to share Jesus with wisdom, clarity and love. -- GIVE: Visit www.connectcalgary.ca/give to help share #LifeOverflowing across Canada. 44f1c390-8e0d-11f1-b94c-43a5325feb83

Sermon by Dr. David Rountree on August 2, 2026 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC. Scripture Passage: Luke 24:49 Outline: 1. Received Power 2. Radical Power 3. Ratified Power ncchurch.net

Mary welcomes missionaries Bamshak Dagwer and his wife Makayla to talk about what it means to grow up in Nigeria under the unending threat of violence and persecution. They are the founders and directors of Seeds of Hope Nigeria, a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to restoring hope to vulnerable and displaced children through the love of Christ. Born and raised in Nigeria, Bamshak survived the horrific religious violence that has plagued his homeland for more than two decades. Witnessing the loss of loved ones and experiencing God's miraculous protection transformed his life and ignited a calling to serve those whose lives have been shattered by conflict. Bamshak met his wife, Makayla, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, while serving as missionaries with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in the Philippines. After more than ten years of ministry together in the Philippines and Nigeria, they founded Seeds of Hope Nigeria in 2017 in response to God's call to care for displaced children and share the hope of the Gospel. Under their leadership, it has grown into a thriving ministry that provides a safe home, Christian education, discipleship, vocational training, and pastoral care for vulnerable children. Their vision extends beyond meeting immediate needs—they are raising Christ-centered leaders who will bring lasting hope and transformation to Nigeria and beyond. We take our SUFTT conversation international, so the listener can get a taste for what God is doing in another corner of Christendom.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

In Episode 204, we explore John 9:8-12 and the aftermath of one of Scripture's most remarkable healings. Jesus has healed a man who was born blind—a man everyone in the neighborhood knew as the blind beggar who sat and begged. But now he can see. And the neighbors are completely confused. Some don't even recognize him. "Isn't this the blind beggar?" "No, he just looks like him." And the man keeps saying: "Yes. I am the same one." He doesn't have a theology degree. He doesn't have all the answers. When they ask where Jesus is, he simply says: "I don't know." But what he does know—what no one can take from him—is this: "The man they call Jesus made mud and spread it over my eyes and told me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash yourself.' So I went and washed, and now I can see." That's his testimony. Three sentences. Unpolished. Unashamed. Unstoppable. Through guided meditation, discover what makes this testimony so powerful. He can't explain the theology of how mud and water opened his eyes. He can't tell them where Jesus went. He doesn't have answers to every question they might ask. But he can tell them what happened to him. And nobody can argue with that. This episode explores how your story works the same way. You don't need to have all the answers. You don't need to be a theologian. You don't need to understand every doctrine or be able to defend every argument. You just need to know what Jesus did for you—and be willing to say it. Learn why the most powerful testimony is often the simplest one. The beggar's three-sentence story—what he was, what Jesus did, what is different now—is more compelling than any theological argument because it's personal, specific, and undeniable. No one can argue with your experience. No one can debate what you've lived. Discover your own "now I can see" moment—the thing Jesus has done for you that you could tell someone today, simply and honestly. Find practical steps for identifying one person in your life who needs to hear your story and crafting your testimony in three simple sentences. Learn why you don't need to wait for the perfect moment or the perfect words. The beggar didn't wait. He just kept saying: "Yes, I am the same one—and now I can see." You have a story too. And it's more powerful than you think.

Fundal massage, also known as uterine massage, is often performed as a routine procedure after birth, but research shows it does little to prevent postpartum hemorrhage and can be painful for many. On today's replay episode of the EBB Podcast, nurse, community educator, and advocate Barbie Christensen joins Dr. Rebecca Dekker to talk about the myths surrounding this common postpartum procedure and how it connects to broader patterns of obstetric violence in maternity care. Barbie explains the difference between a fundal assessment, a routine massage, and the massage used to treat active postpartum hemorrhage, and walks through what the evidence actually shows about each approach. She also shares trauma-informed scripts that nurses and providers can use to explain what they are doing and obtain informed consent, even in urgent, fast moving situations. Learn how unit culture, staffing, and fear based practice patterns can affect whether an unnecessary intervention becomes the default standard of care, and how to speak up and advocate for respectful care.

On today's episode we welcome Bob Falconer back to the podcast. Bob is an IFS teacher, consultant, and author who has devoted decades to trauma healing and the study of mind and spirit. He co-authored Many Minds, One Self with Dick Schwartz and wrote The Others Within Us. His memoir, Self Unbroken, is out now. It's hard to pick a favorite "Bob" episode, but this one might be my favorite so far. We talk about his daily practice of dialoguing with Spirit, the sewer path to wisdom, what skeptical parts need, and the monk who changed everything for him Takeaways Self may be less like a particle and more like a field.  The high road to wisdom is lined with people waving shiny objects. Bob suggests trudging through the sewer instead. Skeptical parts don't need to be shut down, they need to be invited in. Not knowing is the beginning of knowledge  When a spirit dialogue starts making you feel superior to others, it's your clue the signal has been hijacked Understanding a past life isn't what heals it. Witnessing and unburdening the emotional charge is what changes things Use your client's language instead of imposing yours Here's a link to The One Inside Audio Guides I mentioned in the intro. About Bob A dedicated therapist and teacher of the IFS model, Robert Falconer has contributed significantly to the field through his research and writings. His work focuses on how our minds are not just multiple, but also porous. He brings this lens to IFS, especially in the context of trauma and spiritual experiences.

What if your greatest breakthroughs aren't waiting in your mind ... but in your heart?In this deeply personal conversation, I'm welcoming back Johanna Bloom for an exploration of what happened after a Heart Healing session transformed the way Johanna relates to money, intuition, and herself.What begins as a conversation about writing and publishing unfolds into something so much deeper.Together, we're exploring the intelligence of the heart, subconscious healing + re-wiring, spirituality beyond certainty, animal communication, the gift economy, and why so many of us have been taught to trust our minds more than our own inner knowing.This episode is a conversation that explores the wisdom of your heart and invites you to discover what it already knows.In this episode, we explore:Why insight alone doesn't always create lasting transformation.The subconscious belief that kept Johanna's income capped for years.How Heart Healing and hypnosis helped release a pattern hidden beneath conscious awareness.Why the beliefs that limit us aren't always rooted in fear.The surprising role metaphors play in subconscious healing.What it feels like to experience Angelic Reiki for the very first time.The symbolism of the sparrow and the unexpected ways Spirit communicates.Growing beyond religious conditioning while honoring what was meaningful.Why silence creates space for deeper wisdom to emerge.The difference between living from the mind and living from the heart.What research is beginning to reveal about the heart's intelligence. :)How intuition becomes easier to trust when your nervous system feels safe.Why fun may be one of the most overlooked spiritual practices!Rethinking abundance through the lens of the gift economy.What becomes possible when we begin relating to one another through generosity instead of scarcity.How healing creates ripple effects that extend far beyond the original intention.Whether you're curious about hypnosis, the subconscious mind, intuition, or simply long for a life that feels more spacious, connected, and alive, this conversation offers a loving invitation to explore a different way of knowing.Because sometimes your heart already knows what your mind is still trying to figure out!

His mission is to help 100,000 families just like yours achieve financial clarity. As a husband, father, coach, and active community volunteer, he understands the freedom that comes from sound financial planning.Over the past 15 years, he worked his way up from intern to CFP® Financial Advisor, eventually becoming a firm owner before the age of forty. He shares the financial education he was fortunate to receive through podcasts, his book "The Financial Pinwheel," and a variety of online resources.Growing up in Northern New Jersey, he saw firsthand how many people commuted into New York City, working 80-hour weeks in pursuit of financial security—often at the expense of their well-being. He once expected to follow the same path, until a college professor introduced him to a guest speaker who called himself a Financial Planner. This encounter opened his eyes to a career dedicated to helping every day, middle-class families—people just like him.During his internship, he offered to create a financial plan for his mother, a single parent who had returned to work to support their family. Witnessing the relief and confidence his plan gave her; she danced in his office—confirmed his calling.

The Superhero Show #630Fantastic Four: The Mask of Doom, Part 2The Superhero Show — The Mask of Doom, Part 2This week, The Superhero Show wraps up another major storyline from the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series with “The Mask of Doom, Part 2.” The hosts return to Castle Doom for the conclusion of Doctor Doom's latest scheme, breaking down the episode's action, surprising lore, and wonderfully over-the-top Saturday morning cartoon energy.Along the way, they discuss the expanded look at Victor Von Doom's past, his lifelong obsession with revenge, the increasingly elaborate dangers hidden throughout Castle Doom, and an ending that unexpectedly launches the Fantastic Four into an entirely new adventure. Whether it's tragic backstory or giant robot monsters, The Mask of Doom, Part 2 has plenty for the hosts to unpack.The Mask of Doom, Part 2: The Story of Victor Von DoomThe hosts begin with a recap of “The Mask of Doom, Part 2,” focusing on the episode's attempt to flesh out Doctor Doom's origins.The episode expands on Victor's childhood, revealing that his father served as a healer who was relentlessly pursued by those in power. Witnessing the persecution and suffering inflicted on his family shaped Doom's worldview, planting the seeds of the bitterness and vengeance that would eventually define him.The hosts discuss how this backstory helps explain Doom's motivations, even if the cartoon simplifies some elements of his comic book history. They appreciate that the series attempts to give its greatest villain emotional depth rather than portraying him as evil simply for the sake of being evil.At the same time, they debate whether Doom's vow to seek revenge against humanity feels earned within the episode or moves a little too quickly through such an important part of his history.The Mask of Doom, Part 2: Castle Doom's Endless TrapsOnce the Fantastic Four enter Castle Doom, the episode quickly transforms into a series of increasingly elaborate obstacles.The hosts have a great time discussing the endless traps and hazards Doom has prepared for his enemies, turning his castle into something that feels halfway between a supervillain headquarters and an old-school adventure serial.Every hallway seems to hide another surprise, giving each member of the Fantastic Four opportunities to use their powers while trying to survive Doom's latest challenge.While some of the sequences are undeniably entertaining, the hosts also point out that many of them exist primarily to extend the runtime, reinforcing their feeling that this storyline may not have needed two full episodes.The Mask of Doom, Part 2: Doom's Wild Robot ArmyOne of the funniest conversations of the episode centers around Doctor Doom's bizarre collection of robotic creations.The hosts joke that many of Doom's inventions feel less like machines designed by one of Marvel's greatest scientific minds and more like something dreamed up by an especially imaginative child.From insect-like robots rolling around on tank treads to robotic squids and even mechanical archers, Doom's castle is filled with wonderfully strange inventions that somehow all make perfect sense in a 1990s superhero cartoon.Rather than criticizing these designs, the hosts celebrate just how unapologetically comic-book they are. The robots may be ridiculous, but they're also incredibly memorable and perfectly capture the cartoon's larger-than-life style.The Mask of Doom, Part 2: Doom vs. the Fantastic FourThroughout the episode, the hosts continue discussing the relationship between Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four.They examine Reed Richards' ongoing rivalry with Victor, Ben Grimm's straightforward approach to every obstacle, Johnny Storm's enthusiasm, and Sue Storm's increasingly important contributions during the team's escape from Castle Doom.As always, the discussion comes back to what makes the Fantastic Four unique: while Doom relies on absolute control and his own intellect, the Fantastic Four ultimately succeed because they trust one another and work together as a family.Another Story That Feels Bigger Than It Needed to BeThe hosts also revisit one of their recurring critiques of the first season.While The Mask of Doom, Part 2 contains several entertaining moments, they feel the overall story still shows signs of being stretched into a two-part event. Several action scenes, traps, and detours feel designed more to fill time than to advance the narrative.Even so, they acknowledge that the cartoon's earnest commitment to comic book spectacle helps make the slower pacing easier to enjoy.A Surprise Ending in Ancient GreeceJust when the hosts think the story is wrapping up, the episode delivers one final surprise.Rather than ending with Doctor Doom's defeat, the Fantastic Four suddenly find themselves transported back to Ancient Greece on a mission to recover a mysterious artifact. The abrupt cliffhanger catches the hosts completely off guard and immediately raises questions about where the series is heading next.They discuss how unexpected the ending feels, how it dramatically changes the scope of the story, and how excited they are to see the show embrace time travel and mythology in future episodes.Final Thoughts — The Mask of Doom, Part 2By the end of The Mask of Doom, Part 2, The Superhero Show finds itself entertained by another wonderfully ambitious chapter of the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series. Between Doctor Doom's expanded backstory, Castle Doom's endless parade of outrageous robot creations, and an ending that launches Marvel's first family into Ancient Greece, the episode delivers exactly the kind of comic-book weirdness that makes revisiting this series so much fun.Even if the two-part story occasionally feels longer than necessary, The Mask of Doom, Part 2 offers plenty of memorable moments, another compelling look at Doctor Doom, and a cliffhanger that leaves the hosts eager to see where the Fantastic Four travel next.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!1994 Fantastic Four Animated SeriesRyan North's Fantastic FourJoin the discussions online! 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series, Ryan North's Fantastic FourCatch Up On Past Episodes!Missed any of our past episodes?

How will the podcast World Beyond Number, from Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, and Lou Wilson, expand into The Wizard, The Witch, and The Wild One, courtesy of comic storytellers Jadzia Axelrod and Sarah Webb? When the chance to ponder the thought arose with some of those involved, we jumped at it.

Episode OverviewIn this conversation, Amy sits down with Lee to explore the role of daily practice—sādhana—as a living, evolving process rather than a fixed routine.Together, they reflect on what it means to cultivate steadiness in the mind, nervous system, and heart, and how consistent practice becomes a pathway toward deeper self-understanding, inner guidance, and connection to something greater than oneself.The discussion moves beyond technique and into lived experience—how practice shapes perception, builds trust, and gradually shifts one's relationship to stress, identity, and life decisions. Key Themes ExploredSādhana as a Living Practice Rather than a checklist or obligation, sādhana is described as something that evolves over time—from structured daily sessions to an ongoing state of awareness woven throughout the day.From Effort to Integration Lee shares how practice can begin as something we do and gradually become something we are—an orientation toward presence, clarity, and responsiveness in daily life.Stability Through Routine Both Amy and Lee reflect on how consistent routines support nervous system regulation, especially in contrast to the disruption that comes with travel and constant change.The Role of Direct Experience Sustained practice is not maintained through discipline alone, but through experience. When individuals feel the shift—greater calm, clarity, or ease—they naturally return to practice.Witnessing vs. Identifying A central shift in practice is the movement from being immersed in thoughts and emotions to observing them. This creates space for discernment and choice.Inner Guidance and Trust Lee describes a deepening relationship with an internal “voice” or guidance system that develops through consistent practice. Trust is built gradually, through experience rather than belief.Different Pathways of Awareness The conversation acknowledges that inner guidance can arise in different ways—auditory, somatic, intuitive, or visual—depending on the individual.Spiritual Practice and Health Outcomes The episode highlights emerging research showing that spirituality and consistent inner practice are associated with improved physical, mental, and social health outcomes.Education and Responsibility in Yoga Therapy A key tension explored is whether sādhana should be optional or foundational within yoga therapy training. The conversation points toward a shared responsibility among educators to model and transmit its value.Therapist Presence as Intervention The qualities of the therapist—presence, compassion, equanimity, and self-awareness—are described as central to client outcomes, often more influential than specific techniques.Notable ReflectionsDaily practice can begin with structure, but over time becomes integrated into how we live and relate to each moment. The shift from “What do I want?” to “What is being asked of me?” reflects a deepening of trust and perspective. Even brief practices—such as 5–10 minutes of meditation—can create measurable physiological and emotional shifts. We cannot guide others beyond our own level of awareness; our personal practice directly shapes our clinical impact. Practical TakeawaysBegin with what is accessible: even short, consistent practices can create meaningful change.Anchor practice to a consistent time and place when possible to support continuity.Notice the effects of practice—not just during, but in how you relate to others and your environment.Allow your practice to evolve rather than holding it to a fixed structure.Approach sādhana as a lifelong relationship, not a temporary intervention.Closing ReflectionThis episode invites a quiet reconsideration of what it means to practice.Rather than striving for the “right” method or perfect routine, the conversation points toward something more steady: a willingness to return, to listen, and to stay in relationship with oneself over time.From that place, both clarity and direction begin to emerge.Learn More About LeeLee is the founding director of Yoga for Health Institute, where she leads therapeutic yoga programs, professional trainings, and international retreats.Her work includes long-standing student communities and specialized offerings such as the Beyond Cancer retreat program, supporting individuals in navigating health challenges through consistent practice and inner development.You can learn more about her work here: www.yogaforhealth.instituteContact Amy Wheeler:www.TheOptimalState.com

Caregiving is quietly breaking millions of people, and no one warns you it will break you too. I brought Roy Remer on to talk about the one thing every caregiver needs to hear—empathy without action doesn't heal anyone, it burns you alive. Roy is a meditation teacher, hospice volunteer, and author of Zen Caregiving. He's sat at the bedside of people in their final hours, and he's distilled everything he learned into a path that doesn't ask you to do more—it asks you to show up differently. This conversation will change how you see yourself, your loved ones, and what it really means to serve.

Every World Cup has its stand‑out personalities and talking points. This year, fans have been as delighted by Lionel Messi's performance in the tournament, his sixth World Cup, and by the stand‑out style of DR Congo superfan Lumumba Vea, as they have been sometimes baffled by hydration breaks. But only a handful of moments are remembered throughout the decades. In 1986 in Mexico City, Diego Maradona scored two goals for Argentina in a match against England that will never be forgotten. World Service News editor Lourdes Heredia, it turns out, was there and witnessed what Maradona would go on to call his 'Hand of God' goal. A few weeks ago in Afghanistan, in the western city of Herat, people took to the streets in a rare protest after local Taliban government officials reportedly began arresting women perceived to be “improperly wearing the hijab." Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, women's rights have been restricted more and more. Women are no longer allowed to go to secondary school or university, beauty parlours have been banned, travel restrictions have been put in place dictating how far women can travel from home, and women have been ordered not to speak when out in public. Mahjooba Nowrouzi and Mamoon Durrani of BBC Afghan have been reporting on these protests and looking into Taliban leadership.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services.
