Podcasts about World Population Day

In this episode of Post-Growth Australia Podcast (PGAP), we pay tribute to Dr. John Coulter, who sadly passed away in September 2024. John Richard Coulter (3 December 1930 – 6 September 2024) was a trailblazer in the conservation movement, most notably serving as Leader of the Australian Democrats in the early 1990s. In 1971, he organised an open letter published in The Australian newspaper, addressed "to those who shape Australia's destiny," urging them to recognise the limits to growth. (This episode is in memory of Dr John Coulter) John remained an executive member of Sustainable Population Australia (https://population.org.au/) (SPA) until the end of his life. Through SPA, he fearlessly challenged mainstream media for neglecting critical issues such as overpopulation and the limits to growth. In 2021, PGAP had the privilege of interviewing John at his home in the Adelaide Hills. Unfortunately, a bushfire had swept through the property a few months earlier, leaving much of the land scarred. Walking through the devastated bushland was a sobering experience and a stark reminder of the profound changes occurring as society's growth experiment entered the "decade of consequence." This interview was originally broadcast in 2021 as part of the episode World Population Day 2021 (https://pgap.fireside.fm/wpd2021). For this memorial episode, we are re-releasing that conversation, as John's thoughts, perspectives, and reflections resonate even more powerfully in retrospect. Co-hosts Mark Allen and Michael Bayliss share their reflections on the interview and John's legacy, particularly his pioneering work in the early 1970s for the broader post-growth movement. (The 1971 Newspaper open letter) A heartfelt tribute to John Coulter was penned by Dr Bob Brown: "I was sad to hear of John Coulter's death, but that sadness was quickly replaced by a celebration of John's remarkable, life-long advocacy for the environment. In his time as the Democrats' spokesperson, he was the major Australian political voice for protecting this nation's wildlife, wild regions, and oceans, as well as promoting greener living for us all. He was a gentleman but unswerving in his devotion to life on Earth. South Australia and the nation are indebted to John for a long, caring, and actively eco-saving career." One of John's final articles, "The Guiding Criminal Lie in Economics (https://johnmenadue.com/the-guiding-criminal-lie-in-economics/)", was published in Pearls and Irritations in 2024. A moving tribute in the same publication, "Vale Dr. John Coulter (https://johnmenadue.com/vale-dr-john-coulter/)", was written by former SPA President Jenny Goldie. In April 2024, John was invited to become a Patron of SPA (https://population.org.au/about/people/john-coulter/)—a role that he very much cherished during the brief months before his passing.

It's really gonna be hard to be it till you see it. Lesley Logan 0:29  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 1:11  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dive into the instrumental, life-changing, health-related, my life will never be the same because of this woman. Holy moly, this podcast has changed our lives, Brad. Brad Crowell 1:26  Yeah.Lesley Logan 1:27  changed our lives. This interview changed our lives. So I'm just gonna say that right now. And so you're gonna listen to this one. You're gonna hear all these amazing things. You'll listen that one that was back in time before I even like knew Michelle, and then you're gonna go do things to change your life because my life changed. Brad Crowell 1:47  That's true. Lesley Logan 1:43  I don't think I've ever said, I only have yet to say that my life has changed from an episode this much. Because while they're all amazing, this one really has tangible benefits and things have changed my life. So anyways, we'll get into that in just a second. Lesley Logan 1:56  Today, you guys, is July 11th 2024 and it is World Population Day. So about this day, World Population Day on July 11th is a holiday that's dedicated to focusing on the importance of population issues. The day was established by the United Nations as a result of the massive interest people had in Five Billion Day in 1987. Here's a crazy timeline. The World Population Day Timeline. 1804: First billion people. That's 1804. How do they even know there's a billion people? How did they do that? Because by the time they allBrad Crowell 2:27  It has to be an estimation. Lesley Logan 2:28  Right, because by the time they actually get to telling the place, there's more people. Anyways, 1927: Second billion. That's been a while. Lesley Logan 2:37  That's over 100 years took a while to hit to 1960s. Third billion people. So that.Brad Crowell 2:41  That's over a hundred years to hit two. Lesley Logan 2:42  Took a while. 1960: Third billion people.Brad Crowell 2:44  So that one cut down to less than just a little over 40 years, they added another bill.Lesley Logan 2:49  1989: A holiday is born. The United Nations recognizes July 11 as World Population Day. Well that's an annoying, that's a lame little timeline there, guys. Brad Crowell 2:59  They wanted to plug themselves. Lesley Logan 3:00  But then we skip the fourth and fifth billion we just go straight to the 6 billion, so.Brad Crowell 3:05  So, within 40 years later, it's year 2000, where it doubled from three to six billion people.Lesley Logan 3:11  Yeah. And then April 24th 2017, seven and a half billion on this day statistical models as the world population at seven. Okay, so we're not celebrating World Population Day on the same day, like sometimes they're just. Brad Crowell 3:23  No, no, these are just markers in the sand. Lesley Logan 3:25  But yeah, 7 billion would have been a marker. (Inaudible) Brad Crowell 3:28  Yeah, I don't know why they did 7.5. But they didn't have eight on there and I know we hit eight. So I went and looked it up. So, November 15th, 2022.Brad Crowell 3:33  There's eight billion people. Brad Crowell 3:37  Which is only 22 years after 6 billion. So, we're definitely growing as a species.Lesley Logan 3:43  Yeah. And you know, that means we all have to think about each other. So, there's a lot of shit going on. And people being assholes, about other people. And it's like, all this fear that people are dealing with. And you know what most people actually are just really nice people. And so please, please, please, when you wherever you vote in this world, think about your neighbor when you're voting not just yourself.Brad Crowell 4:04  Yeah, I mean, the reality is we have more, as of 2020, we've had more people forced to move out of their home of birth, like their country of birth, than ever in the history of our planet. And that was 2020. That's four years ago, there was an estimated almost 300 million people had, were moving around, right? Whether that is from climate change, or war, or whatever it is, I mean, the world is changing, shifting, growing. So, it's really important to understand that these things are happening.Lesley Logan 4:41  Yeah, so just like, you know, when you vote think about people, not just yourself, and like, we all try to live on the same planet together and it's possible. So anyways, that's my PSA.Brad Crowell 4:53  All right, here's what's coming up next. We are going to be on the road in less than a month we're going around the Midwest, we're going from Vegas up through Minnesota, over to Cleveland and back around through the Midwest, on our summer tour for OPC.

And it's just and we also have a live class you can come to and we get to hang out and have happy hour or coffee or whatever time it is where you are. And so, it's just like literally people around the world come to class and take class together on that monthly live. So opc.me/40 is what you want to do. Before we get into, can't wait to like sing from the rooftops how my life has changed. But before I get into that, do we have an audience question to respond to? Brad Crowell 7:23  We sure do. Marianna Coaching & Wellness on YouTube asks regarding the Pilates exercise called the roll up? The real problem for me is that I'm a Pilates teacher since 2021. I used to train weights, too. And I think my abs are quite fit. I struggle a lot. And my legs always lift during the roll up. I'm starting to think it's my body's shape. I mean, maybe the shape of my spine lumbar curvature is quite deep. Or maybe it's just that I have glutes or I may, you know, my hip flexors. Like, what do you think? If you're watching on YouTube, you could already see Lesley shaking her head. Hey, Mariana, I can relate to this. I was not lifting weights when I met Lesley. And when I did the roll up, my legs would lift too. So this is, you're not alone. This is absolutely something that people go through. And what is it actually saying about your strength and flexibility and your body? Lesley?Lesley Logan 8:18  Well, without me seeing you do it, which, if you're an OPC member, I could actually, you could film yourself doing the roll up and I could see you do it. Without seeing you do it just based on what you said, I actually think that your back is tight, your hip flexors are over worked. And while your core is fit, your deep core muscles, there's a lot of them, are not firing because your hamstrings and glutes and inner thighs are too weak. Boom. I said it. I said it. Now, it doesn't mean that they're like, you don't have them. No, it's not me saying but your hip flexors are really strong. And so. Brad Crowell 8:45  It's out of balance. Lesley Logan 8:47  So, it's out of balance. And so everything has to be working together in a balanced way, which means nothing is overworking or under working. And so if your hip flexors are really strong what they're doing is they're pulling on your back. So, your back actually is tight, and it cannot round. And so I'd also want to know like what your rolling like a ball looks like and what your open like a rocker looks like. And so  Brad Crowell 9:05  It's true. That's what I was gonna say (inaudible). Lesley Logan 9:07  Yeah, Brad look at those ones, too. So I'm gonna say, if we're not gonna blame your body, we're not gonna blame your booty, I got, I got one, too, not gonna blame it because if we actually turn everything on, you can actually get up and over your butt. You just can't because also the butt doesn't even move the butt is supposed to stay where it is when you do the roll up. So my homework for you. Brad Crowell 9:25  Homework. Lesley Logan 9:25  Homework.Brad Crowell 9:26  Oh, shoot. Brad Crowell 9:26  For those who whose legs lift in the roll up is, single leg kicks on the mat, thigh stretch on the mat, shoulder bridge, not pushing your lower back up but making sure your tailbone is reaching toward your knees. Brad Crowell 9:38  Are your writing these down? Lesley Logan 9:38  Better write them down. Brad Crowell 9:39  Write them down. Lesley Logan 9:40  All of these are free tutorials on the OPC app. They're also on the mat flashcards. And then what I would suggest is that you are really making sure your (inaudible), we have a whole workshop on the (inaudible) on OPC, I want your (inaudible) on, I want your hamstrings and glutes to work which means on the roll up on the hardest part I want you to exhale, squeeze your butt and roll up. Brad Crowell 10:04  Do it.Lesley Logan 10:04  And if you use the mat with a strap like the Contrology mat that I have, we have an affiliate link for that. Grab it because the strap is not for beginners. The strap is for the more advanced. You get, and I just want to say one more thing, because I know Brad wants me to end, just because you've been a teacher for since 2021, do not put pressure on yourself. You should do the roll up by now. I've had clients who don't do the roll up for I mean, they still struggle with the roll up years later.Brad Crowell 10:24  Less than three years. Lesley Logan 10:25  Oh my god it's like not enough time. Like it just takes a long time. It's a hard exercise and in other training programs that's the beginner exercise because it's possible to do for a newbie, but it doesn't mean it's easy. So I just want to take that pressure off, babe. All right. Send your questions in to us guys, and we'll answer them here on the Be It Pod. Brad Crowell 10:41  All right, let's talk about Michele Wispelway. Michele is a seasoned healthcare executive with over 18 years of experience holding an MBA in healthcare management and co-founder and CEO of FemGevity. She also pioneered the first saliva-based COVID-19 PCR tests in the New York metro area. She advocates for women's health, emphasizing the importance of an integrative and preventative approach to perimenopausal and menopause. Her passion extends to creating a supportive ecosystem where women can openly discuss health issues, and access the necessary resources to live healthier lives.Lesley Logan 11:17  Oh my gosh, well, if you guys listen to the episode, you heard me like, I was sharing my frustrations with my experience. And we talked about how, especially in the U.S., but also we've had people here in the U.K., and it is really freaking hard if you're a woman to get your hormones tested. And then for that to be covered by insurance. And then for the things you need to be covered by insurance, it just is really difficult. It's mostly because they just don't do a lot of testing on women. So like people don't know, but a lot of people know a lot of stuff. And what we do know is that there's help out there, and you don't have to live this way. And so she would actually love for like doctors and annual test to make it much easier for women to get their hormones tested. I mean, we expressed this two years ago, when I tried to get my hormones tested from my annual physician's checkup, could not do that. My annual pap smear, could not get my hormones tested. So I guess, what I did guys, I actually worked with FemGevity and I got my hormones tested. We'll go into that in a little bit in a second. But like, there's just a lot of, first of all, if you are frustrated about how the system, especially in a western society in the US, like is hard to get the answers you need, and you're feeling a little crazy. There is help for you. And that is basically why they created what they created. Because like, they're like, there's help out there. And why are we preventing women from getting this help if they can live longer, healthier lives if they had it?Brad Crowell 12:38  Yeah. And I think it was interesting, you know, she, she talks about how to find a doctor. She said, a red flag for her is a doctor who only focuses on one thing. So the irony specialists that she's basically suggesting, you need more than just a specialist, you go to the specialist, after you've identified an issue that like the, the person who's looking at your entire body, can help you, okay, hey, there's actually an issue here, you really need to go see a specialist. But what we often have happen when we are doing health care, in the United States at least, is that you're talking to somebody who is only assessing a small portion or a small vision of your overall health, right? A small piece of your overall health and she said that's gonna go.Lesley Logan 13:23  Well and also like, if you have crappy insurance like we do, currently. Because we work for ourselves, we're working on getting better ones, but there's not a lot of options for us (inaudible) and so we're stuck with the options that we have that we can afford. And so we have to go to a GP who would be someone who does everything. And then they're the gatekeeper to the specialist. And Brad had an experience for the guys like, yeah, you want a referral for that? No problem. You want a referral for that? No problem. Here's, Brad was thrown referrals. And I was like, she's like, no, they can't test for that. No, they can't, like, with women it changes a lot, like, she was like, just like, I was like, do you not like me? Like, why, what is going on here? So at any rate, it can be very difficult to get the specialist that you do need once you have someone who's supposed to have general knowledge, because the general knowledge people don't know all the new stuff, because how can you like, I'm not here to knock, if you're GP listeners, I'm not here to knock that. Like, there's so much new things changing all the time, it'd be so hard to keep up with all that. So at any rate, it can be really frustrating. If you are frustrated. Stay tuned, I got some, I got some things that will take the frustration away from you. What did you love before we go into that?Brad Crowell 14:29  Okay, so actually, nothing to do with FemGevity or health or any of that it actually was failure. You know, Michele talked about being an entrepreneur, which I can relate to, she talked about how do you grow a business? And, you know, how did she become to get into this? Because you asked her like, how did you start from FemGevity? Right? And she said, well, you know, you have to be able to take risks. And because you know, which means you have to be able to fail. And we've talked about this before on the pod but the reality is failure will make you better. Even though it sucks, sometimes it's so scary because there could be a lot riding on a thing that you might be doing, right? And she talked about the decisions that you make as a small business, that could put your business at risk. But you have to be willing to take risks in order to grow. And you have to be willing to fail so that you can learn, and then bring something better to your clients that they will love even more and share that story with others. So I found it interesting where she was also talking about when you're starting to evaluate your health. There's failure there, too. Right? Lesley Logan 15:40  Yeah. Brad Crowell 15:40  You know, like the reality of testing your gut, like learning about the different foods, you know, you just got, you just got a whole bunch of results back. Lesley Logan 15:48  Yeah. Brad Crowell 15:48  And they said, Okay, you're totally allergic to this. and you're highly sensitive to these things. But you're only sort of somewhat sensitive to these other things over here. And then what does that actually mean? And they're like, well, sometimes you could eat it. But then other times, you shouldn't eat it. Lesley Logan 16:02  Or like, the, you might be able to eat it. And you might not notice how it makes you feel, but then you might actually feel awful. So like every (inaudible) that medium sensitive, it's like different for everyone. So it is, if you test it and you gotta get it wrong. And then you're like (inaudible).Brad Crowell 16:17  Because you're eating it. And you're like, oh, that was a mistake, I could tell right away, especially if you pull it out of your diet for, you know, six to eight weeks, and then you reintroduce it it'll be far more attuned to the failure. Lesley Logan 16:30  And also like, this is where the word feedback is a better replacement. Brad Crowell 16:34  Yes. Lesley Logan 16:34  And I think like, it's like, you win, or you learn, right? So if we all can change, failure to feedback, then really now I have more feedback on how I feel about things and I now have a lot more understanding of like, oh, no wonder I felt like crap that day. Oh, no wonder I threw up in South Korea. You guys at outside a restaurant, I had to run up the stairs.Brad Crowell 16:56  I had no idea. She was like, I gotta go. And then I heard the whole story later. Lesley Logan 16:59  Erika Quest had to hold my hair up as I vomited in the bushes outside the front door where everyone from Balanced Body was about to come out. I thought it was my gut. And I'm nope, nope, actually should not ever have mussels. And I had mussels, oysters and slightly sensitivity to scallops. And I had all three in a row. And my stomach was like, holy no, that's a no. So really, my stomach did its job and you should celebrate that. Yeah, she is, I really liked that we got to bring this up because I thought it was like really vulnerable. I mean, like, here she is. She's trying to do something so big with her company and medical rules and things and stuff like it's so hard and to make something that's accessible so of course there's a me failure involved and you learn from it. Brad Crowell 17:29  Yeah, love it. Lesley Logan 17:49  Okay, you guys, here we go. Brad Crowell 17:50  Okay.Lesley Logan 17:50   I'm so you. So, I fell in love with Michele it's like how are we not friends? And when we hit stop on the podcast, I was like, okay, how do I work with you? Because like I'm, I'm sold. And by the way, you guys we didn't get into some perimenopause symptoms in that episode that are like some sneaky ones that your shoulder stuff might not be a surgical thing you guys it could be perimenopause. So go, go get things checked. At least get baselines on stuff. So I asked her about how her company worked. I asked her like what we could do and now FemGevity is a sponsor of the pod and I have gone through their longevity plan. I'm still going through it because it is a what I love about them is like it's your it's not just like a one and done like It's like they're with you. And let me tell you how much they're with me. So they sent a phlebotomist. We need a longevity plan. So we have a link for a consultation call. It's beitpod.com/FemGevity and Brad Crowell 18:44  It's F-E-M Gevity G-E-V-I-T-Y.Lesley Logan 18:47  FemGevity. So when you, when you sign up for the longevity plan, they sent a phlebotomist to my house, which is so nice, because I'm so busy. I did, Brad was like not super excited for what we had to like, top off at a FedEx but I did, I did a stool test. They came to do blood and urine tests. And here's the thing about blood. They don't just do blood, they do serum. And so what is really, really key if you look at their Instagram, you'll see like why serum is so important. So.Brad Crowell 19:15  I'm laughing myself I'm like oh, yeah, that is serum. Like I know what that means. Lesley Logan 19:18  You're like not (inaudible). Brad Crowell 19:19  Oh, yeah, this is serum.Speaker 1 19:21  So, I got my blood tests back first within like a couple of weeks. And you guys I have been telling doctors for years. For years since I got my first test back from the guy who said you have no testosterone that I can detect. I said (inaudible) I have low testosterone (inaudible) no, 2016. That's how long ago. Brad Crowell 19:44  It's like almost 10 years (inaudible).Lesley Logan 19:45  And he told me I could get better testosterone in my body if I lifted weights so I was lifting heavy weights. I did all the things and like my testosterone was like just not becoming in the normal range. And over these years, again, like my last year's results, still not there and a lot of doctors, meanwhile, and they said, well, let's just wait and see because people don't want to put someone on testosterone if they don't need it, but like, what was happening is, I stopped feeling excited to work out. It was really hard for me to work out. I was, I work, some who goes to gym four days a week, and I was like, I was not able to pick up heavier weights. I was actually picking up lighter weights, like everything just felt hard in my body. And I was just getting really frustrated because I didn't have energy during the day, no energy during the day. And so anyways, when my test came back, and it said, my testosterone whas oh, surprise, surprise, oh, really low. And I described how my day felt she's like, yeah, babe, she's like, you do not have enough testosterone for you. And so then I also we went over, like how I was feeling in my cycle. I was like, I don't, I'm really frustrated. Because I'm, oh, I'm like, extreme, like, way too emotional before my cycle starts way like, to the point that like, I run a company and like, I don't want to be in my own meetings, because I don't want to be with me. Because me is not able to control her emotions the way that I want. Like, I feel like a crazy person trying to like control how I'm feeling. And then instead of it feeling better, when my cycle starts, it stayed emotional. And so my and she looked at my progesterone, she's like, Yeah, your professional results are saying the exact same thing. And so progesterone is supposed to be this really fun friend that comes in and just like makes you sleep really, really good. And I was not getting that. And so within two days, they sent me my prescription. It took a week for me to like feel a difference with the testosterone, which (inaudible). I am a new human and I think Brad can even test that I'm a new human. So anyways, I'm not saying that hormone therapy is what you need. What I am saying is I finally got doctors to listen to me and my blood test showed exactly how I was feeling so I was not crazy. My symptoms matched my test results. And I got a doctor I loved the the doctor you get with the telemedicine and she's phenomenal. I got a doctor who listened to me, encouraged me didn't make me feel crazy, like totally told me that there's going to be help and it's going to make me feel better. And then two weeks after that my sensitivity allergy test came back. And you guys I've been poisoning myself. So I've been poisoning myself. I am very sensitive to oats and been doing oat milk every day, sometimes twice a day and doing overnight oats and Brad Crowell 22:16  Loving those oat milk latte.Lesley Logan 22:17  Love, loving oak milk latte and we now make cashew milk, guys, we now make cashew milk. I also found out like what I'm highly sensitive to versus what I'm moderately sensitive to and what I'm allergic to which Brad and I discovered in April that I am allergic to mites like dust mites. Yup, yup. European and American, which explains why my nose runs when I'm in Europe. So, so anyways, like all that, I had all this information. And now I'm on a six-week journey of like trying to take all the things I'm sensitive to out of my life. I know tomatoes, tomatoes, garlic. Cherries are definitely out. But the strawberries and watermelon. Yep, there are two right now. So anyways, but here's the cool thing that the doctor explained to me is like some of these things might not be out forever, but they're out for right now until I like detox myself and then from them just by not doing them. And then in six, eight weeks, just given a test so I can see how I feel, just by doing it because maybe I just feel like not so great. And I'm like, whatever. It's a beautiful day, I want some strawberries, or I might feel like a complete bump on a log who doesn't want to move and then we know don't do it. But then you'll I'll be I'll make that decision for myself. And then just today before we got on this call, so I'm already feeling better. But I could tell I was feeling a bit better. The doctor is like, like, like going crazy and with joy because every time she sees me, I'm a even more energetic human of myself. She's like, because the first time she saw me, I like cried on the call. I was like I don't even I can't even tell you. I'm crying right now. I'm just crying because like, I'm just I don't have any more. There's nothing left of me right now. And you now and you're on this call. And ,and then then I buy when I saw her a few weeks later, just a few weeks later, I was already different person. And now here's a few more weeks later, and I am just like, okay, tell me what you got. What's going on? Like, I'm just like, I'm just so fired up about life. And my gut test came back and I, you guys, I was really stressing today because I was like, what if the gut test come back and there's nothing wrong, like they can't find anything. Like I was just like, oh my god, if they don't find anything, like I'm just a crazy person because I had so many doctors tell me I'm a crazy person for all the guts stuff I brought up before and for 15 years and she was like, okay, she's like, I'm just gonna be really honest. Your gut is got a lot going on. And we can fix it all. But this is probably one of the most the biggest cases I've seen I have a lot of lot of different things going on. And I was, explained to her what's going on with my bowel movements, what's going on with my gut how I felt in the day and on the test you can literally see okay, your bowel movements are like this because you have a parasite, Brad, I have a parasite. So already antibiotics are at the are waiting for me to pick up today. And then there's some other things that can be done with supplements. But what I am so excited about is in a few weeks, I'm going to feel like another better version of myself. And so I'm so excited ladies, I cannot stress enough, pick up the call and get on the phone with them. Just do it because here's the deal. I have spent years actively advocating for my health. It took me years actively advocating and you don't have to do yours to change your life. And I don't, to be it until you see it, you can have the best goals, the biggest passion, know your why, have all the strategies, have all the tools, and if your hormones or your gut are out of balance, it doesn't matter. It's really gonna be hard to be it till you see it.Brad Crowell 25:37  It's true. Yeah, especially just to maintain like consistency and be enthusiastic and excited. I mean, I can attest, I've seen a shift in your approach towards the day. So yeah.Speaker 1 25:51  The approach was, like, literally in a meeting, just like I'm like, oh, this is what we're gonna do. Like, it's just everything is just a lot more. Like, it just feels more possible. So beitpod.com/femgevity will get you a free consultation call. And that way you can meet with them, understand their plans, pick the one that's best for you. And look, here's the deal. Yes, we're paying out of like you pay out of pocket, but there's a lot of stuff that your insurance will cover if you have insurance and so, so it's kind of like going to another doctor is really what it is. But go check it out. Don't, don't turn yourself away right away. Brad Crowell 25:56  It's telehealth so. Lesley Logan 26:17  It's telehealth and honestly, like, I don't want to call the doctors off. I go to the doctor's office for my annual visit like pap smear and I just like, here we are sitting in a waiting room, you know, it is like so annoying. You just can't do that. I guess you can't do that on telemedicine. But you know, it's really nice what you can do and so, especially for my busy women listening, you are not too busy for this to work for you. Because they made it so easy for me. So I will also be going live I will have gone live with them. By the time this comes out. I go live with them on July 9, which is when their episode comes out. So, so, anyways, you can go see us talk on there if you want but use the link to get the free call.Brad Crowell 27:04  Okay, finally, let's talk about those be it action items what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Michele Wispelway? She said, we have choices here we have three distinct choices in life, these are your options, you either accept the thing, you change the thing, or you leave the thing. And we need to pick our own path, whatever the situation might be, whether it's a fight with your partner, or whether you're having health issues, you have to be very clear which one of those three things you're going to choose, accept it, change it, or leave it, right? And these are like rocks in your life. These three things are what you need to, remember this, we have a decision that we can make about all the things except to change it or leave it. Lesley Logan 27:49  Yeah, I love that. So, so simple, but hard. Yeah. Okay, so.Brad Crowell 27:55  What about you? Lesley Logan 27:55  Of course here we're going to talk about her Be It Action Items, she's stressed encouraging you look for doctors that are not just spot treating, we already talked about this, but this is your Be It Action Item. Is your doctor just spot-treating? Is your doctor not doing holistic testing? So if you have a doctor and you want to see like, will they do blood, stool and gut sensitivity testing all at once, because that should be what you're getting. Like you do a whole panel, and not just like a top thing it's like the whole panel, get it all. And if you and she said if your doctor doesn't, you should find another doctor. And I know that's really hard. I know we're really busy. But this is your health guys. And the US health system specific I can't speak to other ones does not do preventative well, it does, it treats you when you're sick, but doesn't want to do preventative. And there is information out there that if we have information early on, we can do preventative things to make your life better. And so that requires us to advocate for ourselves that requires us to like be on like aware of that and to be making actions for that. So she wants you to make sure that your doctors are going to do a complete full testing and if they're not find a new one. And you can also go to beitpod.com/femgevity for that. Brad Crowell 27:55  I love it. Well, hey, I'm really excited that we randomly connected with with this. Lesley Logan 29:10  They approached us and then I fell in love with her. And I fall in love with her doctor and they have their, I'm a client for life. They're stuck with me. Brad Crowell 29:18  Yeah, I think it's amazing. And thank you for being a listener here at the Be It Pod. We wouldn't do this if you didn't listen. So thanks for doing that.Lesley Logan 29:27  And did you notice this episode 392. So episode 400 is coming up and we have a very, very, very special guest. I might be as excited for that recap as I'm excited for this one. Now that I've said that I wasn't before now I am. And so make sure you take a look and send this to a friend if you've got a woman in your life who's struggling with some stuff with their health, send this to them because they feel crazy. They feel alone. They feel like they, they feel like they, like it's all in their head. They feel like no one will listen to them and like they need to know. Brad Crowell 29:27  When they did finally step out to get some test results. They were told they're fine. Lesley Logan 30:02  Yeah. Or they're told they have IBS. And I do, like, and you might, but also you probably don't, you probably just have some parasites and some gut digestive enzymes that need to be sorted out there. And so please, please, please send this to the friends you have who are struggling with perimenopause where they think they have perimenopause. Or they're struggling with any gut stuff. I need them to know. It's important that they know they're not alone. And it's really freaking hard to be the best version of yourself when you feel like shit. So this is this is my other PSA, listen to this and take some action towards your health because you are amazing. Thank you so much for listening. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 30:35  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 30:37  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

#July11

Welcome to PGAP's “World Population Day 2024” special, where your co-hosts Mark Allen and Michael Bayliss share their recent musings on sustainable population. World Population Day (https://www.un.org/en/observances/world-population-day) is an annual event, observed on July 11 every year, which seeks to raise awareness of global population issues. Our ‘manifesto' on the population debate can be read on the PGAP blog: “To populate or not to populate? How we can come together around the eternal debate of everyone's favourite vexed issue (https://pgap.fireside.fm/articles/population).” Mark's article “A Holistic Activism Approach to the Population Issue” was published in MEDIUM (https://medium.com/@bayliss.michael/a-holistic-activism-approach-to-the-population-issue-f1c5d7d80624)and the Sustainable Population Australia newsletter May 2024 edition (https://population.org.au/newsletters/spa-newsletter-155-may-2024/). Want to find out more about Holistic Activism? The booklet can be Downloaded HERE (https://holisticactivism.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/holistic-activism-booklet-2024-edition-10.pdf), or accessed at the Holistic Activism website (https://holisticactivism.net/). Michael's article “Population growth and wealth inequality are more entwined than we thought: here's why (https://www.populationmedia.org/the-latest/population-growth-and-wealth-inequality)” was originally published on the Population Media Center blog. An audio summary of the themes may be listened to at the ‘Rethinking Sustainability' podcast, to which Michael was a guest for the short episode: “Growth and the Parasitic Economy (https://sustainablecivilisation.com/growth-and-the-parasitic-economy/)”. We believe that population sustainability is one essential component of transitioning to a post-growth society and we trust that this episode and our written contributions make for convincing arguments. Kelvin Thomson, former Australian Federal MP and a huge influence on the population sustainability movement, has released an EP of original music. The track ‘Break Away', that ends this episode, may be watched on YouTube here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcdri2HdO3k). Sustainable Population Australia has launched a media release for World Population Day: “A population may survive but not thrive if it grows rapidly (https://population.org.au/media-releases/world-population-day-a-population-may-survive-but-not-thrive-if-it-grows-rapidly/)”. We have been told that this has had some positive response from the media, including interviews with SPA's national president on mainstream radio. You can add your name to SPA's position statement HERE (https://population.org.au/sign-the-spa-position-statement/)(already at 15,000 signatures) or find out more about how you can make a difference HERE (https://population.org.au/how-you-can-make-a-difference/).

In honor of World Population Day, we are joined by Robert Engelman, researcher, writer, and former newspaper reporter on environmental, demographic, reproductive health and gender-related topics. Through his deep learning experiences over three decades at leading environmental, journalism, and population organizations, Bob shines a light on the intimate links between reproductive autonomy and planetary health, which were also the subject of his seminal 2008 book, More: Population, Nature, and What Women Want. We discuss the fascinating trends over the last 10,000 years that have led to the progressive diminishment of women's reproductive rights, and the accompanying growth in population and environmental degradation. We also discuss the positive trend towards gender equality and the subsequent reduction in fertility rates over the last century, and the concerted efforts that are needed to sustain and accelerate that trend for the sake of reproductive and ecological justice. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript: https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/robert-engelman ABOUT US The Overpopulation Podcast features enlightening conversations between Population Balance executive director Nandita Bajaj, researcher Alan Ware, and expert guests. We cover a broad variety of topics that explore the impacts of our expanding human footprint on human rights, animal protection, and environmental restoration, as well as individual and collective solutions.

Every year on July 11, the world observes World Population Day, designated by the United Nations to raise awareness about global population issues. It serves as a reminder of the significant challenges and opportunities presented by the ever-increasing number of people on our planet.   Longevity, or the length and quality of human life, has become a subject of great interest and importance in recent years. Advances in healthcare, improved living conditions and technological innovations have contributed to a remarkable increase in life expectancy worldwide. However, as the global population continues to rise, what is the future of ageing and longevity. The average lifespan has been shorter in the past because of the risk of dying at birth, in childhood, in the middle of a raging battle or being mauled to death by wild animals. However, taking out those threats, an average human has long been capable of reaching a 70th birthday. And now, with breakthroughs in our understanding of genetics and billions of dollars being poured into life sciences research, we may find ways to extend our lives even further, maybe to even double that number, in the next few decades. This episode of Beyond The Headlines was previously aired on June 23, 2022.

For the 2022 Earth Overshoot Day special of PGAP, we observe the occasion by welcoming Brian Czech, founder of the Centre for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (CASSE). As a figurehead of the Degrowth movement, Brian makes a perfect voice of reason for this year's Earth Overshoot Day, which falls on July 28th. In this episode, Brian reflects on the formation and history of CASSE with host Michael Bayliss and how the Steady State and Degrowth movements intersect. He shares his decades of experience and fascinating anecdotes to draw the point home that a steady state revolution is necessary to stop the endless growth paradigm from bringing earth overshoot day all the way to January 01st. Brian Czech has a Ph.D. in renewable natural resources. He is the founding President of CASSE (https://steadystate.org/), and a prolific author. His scientific articles have appeared in dozens of peer-reviewed journals, dealing primarily with ecological and economic sustainability issues. His books include Supply Shock: Economic Growth at the Crossroads, released in May 2013, Shoveling Fuel for a Runaway Train, which calls for an end to uneconomic growth, and The Endangered Species Act: History, Conservation Biology, and Public Policy. Brian is also an Interdisciplinary Biologist in the national office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where he received a 2010 Star Award for outstanding performance. He has played a leading role in engaging the environmental sciences and natural resources professions in ecological economics and macroeconomic policy dialog. Check out Earth Overshoot Day (https://www.overshootday.org/)and Global Footprint Network (https://www.footprintnetwork.org/) for a rundown on Earth Overshoot Day. According to their press release (https://www.overshootday.org/newsroom/press-release-june-2022-english/) for Earth Overshoot Day 2022: “Each year, Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity has used all the biological resources that Earth regenerates during the entire year. Humanity currently uses 75% more than what the planet's ecosystems can regenerate—or “1.75 Earths.” From Earth Overshoot Day until the end of the year, humanity operates on ecological deficit spending.” Further: “Earth Overshoot Day 2022 lands on July 28, earlier than last year. Over 50 years of global overshoot have led to a world where aggravated drought and food insecurity are compounded by unseasonably warm temperatures. As the date indicates, humanity continues to widen its annual ecological deficit two years after the pandemic-induced resource-use reductions exceptionally pushed the date back temporarily by 24 days.” As you can see, EOD2022 is an absolute riot!

Ifølge en ny FN-rapport, som blev udgivet her d.11. juli i anledning af World Population Day, så fortsætter det globale befolkningstal med at stige. Ifølge rapporten så vil vi runde 8 milliarder indbyggere på verdensplans d. 15. november i år. Og det tal vil stige og toppe i 2080'erne med omkring 10,4 milliarder. Men kan vi blive for mange? Flemming Konradsen, der er professor i global sundhed, gæster AFTENKLUBBEN til en snak om det stigende befolkningstal. Vært og tilrettelægger: Daniel Cesar.

As we approach the 8 billion population milestone, activist/author Valorie Allen thinks it's high time we stop avoiding the overpopulation subject. Yet here we are, on World Population Day 2022, and the UN is still beating around the bush, journalists rarely report on the subject (and when they do, it's usually with a pro-growth bias), and most environmental groups run and hide from it. Allen believes that we can bend the long-rising population curve soon and begin the needed contraction. But we must stop avoiding the subject, and we need to make a project of it.  As we observe World Population Day 2022, we share this insightful conversation with Valorie Allen, author of the new book, 8 Billion Reasons Population Matters: The Defining Issue of the 21st Century. This is a rich and comprehensive encyclopedia of history, information, opinion and inspiration. After this conversation, Stephanie and Dave review recent “GrowthBusting News,” including new insanity from Elon Musk, outrageous ideas for overconsumption on hyperdrive, a new paper by Paul and Anne Ehrlich, and sad words of wisdom from actor Jeff Goldblum.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: UNFPA World Population Day 2022 Statement https://www.unfpa.org/press/world-population-day-statement-2022 UN Secretary-General's World Population Day Statement https://www.un.org/en/observances/world-population-day 8 Billion Reasons Population Matters - new book by Valorie Allenhttps://books.friesenpress.com/store/title/119734000096587474 Surviving the 21st Century - by Julian Cribbhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30420519-surviving-the-21st-century Population in Sync - Valorie Allen's websitehttps://populationinsync.net/ Paul Ehrlich on Limits to Growth - Episode 70 of the GrowthBusters podcasthttps://www.growthbusters.org/ehrlich-limits-to-growth/ Leaked Amazon Memo Warns the Company is Running Out of People to Hirehttps://www.vox.com/recode/23170900/leaked-amazon-memo-warehouses-hiring-shortage Elon Musk Breaks Silence on Birth of Secret Twins with 'Overpopulation' Jokehttps://www.joe.co.uk/news/elon-musk-on-birth-secret-twins-overpopulation-joke-346768 Elon Musk is Wrong: We Need Smaller Familieshttps://populationmatters.org/news/2021/12/elon-musk-wrong-we-need-smaller-families Climate Damage Caused by Growing Space Tourism Needs Urgent Mitigationhttps://phys.org/news/2022-06-climate-space-tourism-urgent-mitigation.html Nuclear-Powered Sky Hotelhttps://youtu.be/ZrodDBJdGuo Let Them Eat Fermented Protein - Review of Monbiot book, Regenesis: Feeding the World without Devouring the Planethttps://literaryreview.co.uk/let-them-eat-fermented-protein Returning to “Normal”?

To commemorate the 32nd World Population Day on July 11, 2022, we are honored to be joined by the legendary Paul Ehrlich, who also celebrates his 90th birthday this year. Author of over 40 books, including the best-selling book The Population Bomb, published in 1968, Dr. Ehrlich was made more famous by numerous appearances on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson - the largest late night show in the 1960's and 70's. We got the rare opportunity to chat with him about his decades-long career in sustainable population advocacy, his studies on natural butterfly populations, as well as his interest in cultural evolution with respect to environmental ethics. We delved into: the need to end the unhelpful consumption vs. population debate optimal population size and wealth redistribution for a decent standard of living for all the ethics of nation states and borders rights to nature the threat of a nuclear war the impacts of the agricultural revolution on the human jaw the maddening rate of planetary degradation and biodiversity loss a variety of urgent solutions that must be undertaken ABOUT US The Overpopulation Podcast features enlightening conversations between Population Balance Executive Director Nandita Bajaj, cohost Alan Ware, and expert guests. We cover a broad variety of topics that explore the impacts of our expanding human footprint on human rights, animal protection, and environmental restoration, as well as individual and collective solutions.  Find us here: Population Balance MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Dr. Paul R.

World Population Day is approaching on July 11. According to the United Nations Population Fund, ‘8 billion people means 8 billion opportunities', however many population sustainability advocates are not quite so optimistic. For this episode, PGAP welcome back Karen Shragg, American and Degrowth activist, along with two new guests, Madeline Weld and Valorie Allen from Canada. In this special four way discussion, we explore the similarities and contrasts of the population movement in across our respective countries and unite to shred the myths and misconceptions around population sustainability. Karen Shragg is a lifelong environmentalist, naturalist, educator, poet, author and overpopulation activist based in the USA. Her book ‘Move Upstream, A Call for Overpopulation' was published in 2015. Her latest book ‘Change Our Stories Change our World' was published in 2020. Karen maintains the ‘Moving Upstream (https://www.movingupstream.com/)' blog and is a regular article writer. A recent article “For Your Consideration: To be Anti-Growth is to be Pro-humanity” can be read at Medium here (https://karenshragg.medium.com/for-your-consideration-to-be-anti-growth-is-to-be-pro-humanity-e32a57e8b221). Madeline Weld is president of Population Institute Canada (https://populationinstitutecanada.ca/) which seeks to inform the Canadian public and policy-makers about population matters. She has impressively held this position for almost 30 years. In the spirit of this episode of busting population myths, Madeline has published many impressive articles on this subject. Favourites include: “The 'Silent Lie' in Coverage of Madagascar's Famine (https://overpopulation-project.com/the-silent-lie-in-coverage-of-madagascars-famine/),” “The Myth of Canada's Underpopulation: Lay it to rest (https://www.thesocialcontract.com/artman2/publish/tsc_23_3/tsc_23_3_weld_1_printer.shtml)” and “Deconstructing the dangerous dogma of denial (https://www.int-res.com/articles/esep2012/12/e012p053.pdf)”. Valorie Allen has been an activist for 35 years in the environmental, population and animal rights movements, receiving the Canadian Volunteer Award. Her first award-winning book “Growing Pains—A Planet in Distress” was published in 2010. This year, Val has published her new book “8 Billion Reasons Population Matters.” More information regarding her new book can be found here (https://books.friesenpress.com/store/title/119734000096587474). Val's website, Population In Sync here (https://populationinsync.net/). Want to find out more about World Population Day? Considering we're reaching an 8 Billion milestone very soon in a heating world running out of resources, you might imagine that the United Nations Population Fund (UNFP) might sound a little anxious in their write up of the event (https://www.unfpa.org/events/world-population-day). However, they sound pretty upbeat, showing more concern over population ‘alarmists'. Go figure. The UNFP also raise concerns around the historical legacy of family planning and reproductive health care. Jane O'Sullivan's article for The Overpopulation Project “History was rewritten to delegitimize population concerns: we need to reassert the truth (https://overpopulation-project.com/history-was-rewritten-to-delegitimize-population-concerns-we-need-to-reassert-the-truth/)” challenges these notions and is essential reading. Given that the high court in the USA has just upended the Roe vs. Wade case, ruling no constitutional right to abortion in the USA, your PGAP host believes this is just the latest in a long trend of denying funding and support for family planning and healthcare. This impacts women for the worse and contributes to the 121 million unintended pregnancies worldwide every year. All the more need for episodes such as this one, bringing together a united female voice to the vexed population issue. Immigration was raised in this episode and on this topic I would like to invite you to watch a small video I made in 2020 for Sustainable Population Australia. “Migrant perspective - infrastructure and population growth in Melbourne (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3_s2zM3-eM&t=407s)” is unique in that a first generation migrant interviewee speaks directly to a population organisation in regard to growth based issues affecting his community in Melbourne's growth corridors. Regardless of whether you believe this is a ‘population' issue or merely ‘a lack of planning and infrastructure', we can all agree that our current growth based paradigm is creating infrastructure starved ghettos that impact the prospects of newly arrived migrants. Can't get enough PGAP? We don't blame you! Click here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/wpd) and here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/wpdpartb) for both World Population Day 2020 episodes, including recognisable guests such as Dave Gardner from Growthbusters and Terry Spahr, Director of ‘8 Billion Angels.' Or our 2021 episodes with Sustainable Population Australia's John Coulter and Nandita Bajaj from Population Balance. Links here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/wpd2021) and here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/wpb). Karen Shragg was also guest on PGAP last year, her episode ‘Changing Our Story on Population' can be found here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/movingupstream). Finally, Jane O'Sullivan, quoted in this episode, was interviewed earlier this year, along with SPA Patron Ian Lowe, which can be heard here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/populationclimatechange). That should be enough to keep you busy! Speaking of Sustainable Population Australia (https://population.org.au/), SPA are proud supporters of PGAP. They are also very kind in allowing PGAP to venture beyond population into a broader conversation on Degrowth. This includes constructive conversations (we hope!) with guests who have very different or even oppositional perspectives on overpopulation. As the only Australian environmental charity currently willing to be centre stage on the ecological impacts of population growth, SPA relies on community support and donations to give momentum for their uphill battle. Consider giving them a little something here. (https://population.org.au/donate/) If you're still feeling charitable after that, please consider supporting PGAP. Podcasts like ours are the antidote and panacea to a mainstream media that has become corrupt, vacuous and dangerous. It is word of mouth that spread the work of the people, and PGAP is no exception.

Are our decisions about having children really made freely – without pressure from government, church, business, media, family and friends? The decision to have children or not is arguably one of the most important decisions we make in our lives. It's largely regarded as an isolated personal decision and a natural rite of passage into adulthood. But how personal, really, is our decision to have a child? This podcast episode features audio from the World Population Day webinar hosted by World Population Balance on 7 July, 2021: Pronatalism and Overpopulation: Challenging the Social Pressures to Procreate.

We make it possible for individuals and couples to make more fully informed and carefully considered family-size decisions. Smaller families are key to achieving a sustainable population and creating a more resilient and beautiful future.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The general secretary of the U-S Conference of Catholic Bishops resigned from his post on Tuesday. The resignation came ahead of a media report alleging that he frequented gay bars and private residences while using a popular “hookup” app on his mobile device. Bishops around the world are still responding to the Pope's recent motu proprio restricting the use of the Traditional Latin Mass . The bishop of Springfield in Illinois has dispensed two parishes in his diocese from the new restrictions. Bishops in Costa Rica have prohibited the use of the Traditional Latin Mass in all eight of the country's dioceses. The Archbishop of Cincinnati has said he was not informed of President Biden's upcoming visit to a Catholic university in his archdiocese. He did not approve of the university hosting the event. President Joe Biden will appear at a town hall event today hosted by Mount Saint Joseph University in Cincinnati. President Biden is the second Catholic president in U-S history. U-S bishops are concerned about his policies on abortion, gender issues, and religious freedom. An environmental charity recently awarded Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for limiting their family to two children. The award was in honor of World Population Day. Catholic leaders have challenged the award, suggesting that welcoming children and embracing family contributes to the prosperity of the environment. Pope St. John Paul II once stressed that an appreciation of the human person is necessary for interest in others, and the earth. Today, the Church celebrates the feast of Saint Lawrence of Brindisi, a Doctor of the Church.

World Population Day may now be a week behind us, but its legacy lives on! In this episode, host Michael Bayliss talks to the new Executive Director of World Population Balance, Nandita Bajaj. WPB is a North American organisation dedicated to tackling the overpopulation issue through education, campaigns and podcasts – they are the makers of the Overpopulation Podcast after all! Nandita and Michael discovered they have many shared values beyond population including minimalism, being childfree and, most excitingly for both of us, we are big on veganism and animal rights! Therefore, our conversation goes in many pithy directions and intersections. Nandita also shares with PGAP her visions for the future of World Population Balance, her perspectives on the challenges of inclusion and diversity within the population sustainability movement, and her experiences growing up in the world's second most populous country India. I find it incredible that in 1 year, 24 episodes and 34 interviews I haven't yet had the ‘vegan chat' with any of my guests on PGAP. This all changed with Nandita! To celebrate this milestone, I play the song ‘Abolicion' from the Peru/Melbourne pop-punk project, Futuro Vegan Pop. The lead brains behind this musical project, Pedro Allemant, is a long-time friend of yours truly and a total inspiration in the animal activism sphere. I even played keyboards on a couple of Futuro songs back in ye days afore the COVID when we never ‘ad it so good. I also share my interview on Australian Talk Back radio following the excitement, confusion and hostility in the mainstream media after Population Matters ‘Change Champions' awards the other week. The media weren't that interested in the Women's Champion award that went to Wendo Aszed in Kenya, or Kohinur Khyum Tithila from Bangladesh who received the Media award. Rather, they were far more preoccupied with the special award given to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who received a ‘special' award for stopping at two children. Anything to do with Harry and Meghan has a peculiar effect on our collective psyche, and it raises the question, is it better to avoid the royals and receive little attention, or include the royals and receive a lot of mostly hostile media attention? A philosophical musing indeed that still troubles me… Too much podcasting barely enough for you? Want to explore more of the adventures (or in my case misadventures) that were raised during this episode? GLAD YOU ASKED! This is a fancy way of saying I'm about to bombard you with a bunch of links. It's all in the phrasing... Find out more about World Population Balance here. (https://www.worldpopulationbalance.org/). If you haven't heard it yet, their The Overpopulation Podcast (https://www.worldpopulationbalance.org/podcasts) is a class act. WPB launched an online panel discussion: “Pronatalism and Overpopulation | Challenging The Social Pressures to Procreate” on the 07th of July for world population day, which Nandita discussed with me. On the day it was a bit late for Australian clocks, but the highlights can now be seen on WPB YouTube channel here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31KyVagVAoM&t=54s). My interview with Tom Elliot on Melbourne's 3AW Drive talk back radio is immortalised for all here.

Firstly she was interviewed on the award winning ‘This Sustainable Life (https://joshuaspodek.com/guests/jane-osullivan)' podcast hosted by Joshua Spodeck. Jane debunks the ‘ageing population crisis' myths with Joshua as they explore SPA's discussion paper ‘Silver Tsunami or Silver Lining' (https://population.org.au/discussion-papers/ageing/) in which Jane was lead author. She was also a presneter at the World Population Day presentation and panel discussion –_ "What is a sustainable population? Why, when and what should we do about it?"_ This event was organised with Scientists Warning Europe, and a video of Jane's talk and the SWE media release can be found on the SPA website here.
