As the creator of Nothing Much Happens and the author of the audio novel On the Street Where You Live, Kathryn Nicolai has built an interconnected world where listeners can feel safe, soften their guard and step away from the noise of modern life. In this conversation, Kathryn explains how 20 years of teaching yoga prepared her to speak to millions of listeners, why she created a genre she calls “healing fiction,” and how storytelling can quietly bring people into a state of mindfulness without asking them to meditate. She also shares the discipline behind her enormous creative output, the role safety plays in making art, the practices she uses to regulate her own mind and why our lives were never meant to be constantly optimized. This is a conversation about sleep, creativity, community and creating softer places to land—in our minds, our neighbourhoods and our lives. EXCITING STUFF!

One motto — it only takes one yes — and the resilience habit that turned 100 rejections into a career before age 24. Simar Bajaj sent 100 cold emails to Stanford surgeons as a 16-year-old with zero research experience. One said yes — and that's the whole philosophy: resilience isn't about not getting rejected, it's about reducing rejection to a task and staying in motion anyway. In this episode, Dr. Juna talks with the award-winning health journalist and incoming Stanford med student about the mindset that he had to publish over 90 peer reviewed medical papers most while an undergraduate at Harvard, publish health reporting for the New York Times, and win scholarships to Oxford and Stanford. They also dive into how Simar's radiologist uncle and immigrant parents shaped that resilience long before any of it.

In this episode, veteran screenplay consultant David Hohl shares decades of experience helping writers transform rough ideas into professional screenplays.

She blogs at Windows and Wallflowers (maureenmillerauthor.com), and her debut novel, Gideon's Book, is now available. We all want to know the story behind Gideon's Book – give us some background1)    God can whisper a story idea but leave the details for another time, allowing the writer to learn to listen, lean in, and let go.2)    As an adoptive mother, with three amazing birth moms who chose life for their unborn babies despite difficult circumstances, I believe these women are heroes, and there are many among us.3)    God's Word—those placed by Gideons International and otherwise—is not just a figurative guide but a literal one as well, truly a lamp to our feet and a light to our path; I found this to be true in my life, and I wanted to weave such into this story.4)    As a mother of a child of color and having experienced a literal moment when God called me to have a difficult conversation with two women at a restaurant, I wanted to weave the truth that “all it takes if pullin' up a chair”—that being, an opportunity to share healthy, honest conversations about challenging topics.5)    My prolife views are rooted in a decision I made long ago after facing what I feared was an unplanned pregnancy when I was seventeen and unmarried.Writer's Tips. 1)    Stay the course, trusting God for His perfect timing to birth your words (Esther 4:14); 2)    “Hone your craft!”—Said by the wonderful Cecil Murphey, who keynoted at Write To Publish 2007, which echoed throughout the almost two decades it took to write Gideon's Book; 3)    Be courageous enough to write the messages God gives, believing His will to be accomplished even when it's hard. What Listeners Will Gain - I believe they'll gain truth steeped in God's Word from my Gideon's Book backstory, and thus be encouraged to seek Him more specifically to discover for themselves how God might be calling them to a task that they know is beyond their ability—only God! (Like Gideon in Judges 6 and in my story!) Listener giveaway - One copy of Gideon's Book in the format of your choice!

Please join us as we share some upcoming astrological and energetic influences for the month of August. The overriding theme for this coming month seems to be to protect your energy without hiding your light. There are some amazing transits, new moon energy, Leo powerhouse opportunities to shine, and to top it off we go into eclipse season. There is a lot of energy and shift happening but throughout it all is the nudge to: Protect your peace. Speak your truth kindly. Let your sensitivity become wisdom instead of exhaustion. Release identities built around carrying everyone else’s pain. Allow yourself to be seen without abandoning healthy boundaries. The crystal of the month: Calligraphy Stone—also called Miriam Stone, Elephant Skin Jasper, and Arabic Stone, is a great stone to hold when you need to feel energetically recharged. It's most popular nickname is the Writer's Stone because it's known to help with writer's block, creative inspiration, and automatic writing.It helps you access your akashic records primarily to help you recognize and release karmic patterns that are slowing your progress. It helps you transform fears into hope, anxieties into serenity and blocks into progress. The Tarot cards that came up: 8 of Cups, Star Reversed, 7 of Cups. The deck used was Crow Tarot by MJCullinane. The Oracle card pulled: Carry the Torch for Others to See, Wake Up the World from Healing Spirits Oracle by Gordon Smith For more information about Samantha and her offerings, please visit: samanthafey.com Denise and her offerings are at: thegratefulmessenger.com

Most of the technology powering life in Europe today — chatbots, the cloud, digital infrastructure — is owned by companies in the United States. Writer and curator Bruno Giussani makes the case that Europe's reliance on American technology has crossed the line from convenient to risky.

"Technology that does not spy on you — that should be Europe's digital difference,” he says. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
