Creative perceptions .... History, comics, conspiracy theories: These are some of the items on the spectrum of interests of our show's most recent guest, Jeremy McShurley.

You may remember him as the Audio Engineer Extraordinaire (& sometime co-host) from Seasons 1 & 2 of Tune In. What you may not know is how his diverse & creative interests have manifested into some pretty amazing projects in the world. In this episode—now available in on-demand podcast form—you'll learn about Jeremy's books, online universe (to give even more depth to his fiction book The Virtue of Vices), metaphysical research & exploration, plus the ongoing homesteading project he & his wife Danielle have been progressively undertaking for 4 years. More than that, Jeremy shares his belief that, as individuals & collectively, "we need a stance on cosmology, or how the universe operates, to have a religious or spiritual belief."

Hear his own cosmological perspective—what he refers to as "The Spectrumatic Universe"—& why he still totes the nickname "Rev. Swirl." Plus, jump to these timecode points for:

- The mindful insight into his Spectrumatic Universe theory (approx. 10:00-20:00)

- Climate theory (same spot)

- The Walnut Grove Historical Society (approx. 20:00)

- His current & upcoming creative projects (beyond 20:00)

What do you really believe?
Jeni McIntosh-Elkins & DeNeen Attard, co-authors & co-facilitators of the 5-book series, "Learning about You," lead students & readers through this & other follow-up questions to get to the answers—like:
"Who am I, really?"
"Why are my thoughts what they are?"
"How do I change & grow?"
From fixed mindset to growth mindset, we can all shift our perspectives, little by little, to achieve the goals we want. DeNeen's personal life experience ("No one told me how to be a great leader," she shares in this conversation, so she did her own research & then took emulation a step further to authentication) & Jeni's ("I went from translating geek speak [in the tech world] to [the shock of deep grief & loss]") took them into profound personal #emotionalintelligence ... that qualifies them to guide others, likewise.
#listenandlearn for these insights:
- The importance of mindset, communication & time management to general success
- Hidden links between resiliency & creativity
- Where Jeni continues to grow by practicing boundaries
- Why they both say that, "All growth comes from self-awareness"—& that "Curious people tend to be more successful"

Is #politics or #politicsnews making you feel IMBALANCED?

Yes, it may be making you feel a lot of things. But finding #balance can be key. In this weekend's important interview with returning guest Johanna Smith, we talk about #justice as balance.

As usual, the amazing engineer-turned-coach has a lot of insight to share. Some highlights:

- A lack of justice, even for some, is de-stabilizing to all

- Gamesmanship is a natural part of how politics is run, "but that's not the sum total of what it is"

- The U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence & Bill of Rights are in some ways the Mission, Vision & Core Values of our country—that we can all get to know to understand how we live them day-to-day

- We are in a spiritual identity crisis ... but it, too, can be a teacher & healer for our nation

- Most importantly, it *is* important to not just vote, but to have *balanced* political conversations, because "our vote is our say" toward justice

Spreading goodwill wherever you go: Is it possible?

Hear one woman's intentions to do exactly that ... & all that she's learned along the way! This week, we interview Debbie Zipes—who once let Google make her next big life choices when she felt so helpless & hopeless that she searched up, "What should I do with my life?" ... And she found TRAVEL as an answer.

Learn about how she has let synchronicity become her teacher & her friend; how she finds safety—by staying curious, while also trusting her intuition; & how the kindness of strangers has more often than not been a boon, while the antidote to decision fatigue has been the wisdom of her friends. Hear how she has tested all of this wisdom in practice on the road across the U.S. & even more abroad through every continent except Antarctica—which is on her bucket list!

"Don't give up. ... Just take a break."

This valuable life lesson from Dr. Amira Mohammed of Lymphira, Inc. is what she lives by, herself. It's what she teaches her 5 sons—& what she teaches her patients at her clinic for sufferers of Lymphedema. Because she truly believes (& exemplifies) that "life is a gift," she has created the upcoming Lymphedema 5K Walk in Northwest Indiana.

In this full episode, we talk to our returning guest Dr. Mohammed about this, plus:

- The ways Lymphedema can show up in the body (like cancer, surgery, genetics)

- How 20% of people with breast cancer experience Lymphedema & do NOT always get the proper diagnosis quickly

- That 5 million Americans suffer—often without knowing they can be treated
