weMove Podcast weMove weMove podcast is grounded in the belief that movement is the catalyst to realising a better self. weMove explores the worlds of movement, health and adventure connecting the dots towards living a complete human experience. The strength of the people we connect with isn’t rooted in abstract unattainable philosophies. It’s rooted in the everyday. Their expression of themselves through everyday movement (whatever and wherever that may be) is where the larger things naturally happen. That’s our philosophy. That’s the idea.As we explore these ideas, they may be challenging, they may be confirmation, they may very well be both. Wherever they sit, their difference from the norm plots an alternative path through how to move, live and be. And once we open to that, we can open ourselves up to a life full of play and possibility.weMove to feel alive.

Grieving in Color Dr. Chinasa Elue Are you in the midst of a grief journey?Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, the loss of opportunities, or in the midst of life’s transitions, your feelings are valid, your loss is significant, and you are not alone.On the Grieving in Color Podcast, we invite you to experience all of the sides of grief as we delve into real stories of resilience, featuring guests who have found strength in sorrow, love in loss, and walked through the dualities of finding joy in the midst of their pain.

This podcast will explore the many shades of grief, and how we navigate loss while finding courage to celebrate life’s vibrancy. We embrace grief not as a one dimensional experience of sadness that is black and white, but as a spectrum of emotions, a palette of feelings that colors our lives even in the face of loss. Join us, as we br CoffeeBreakDown Aaron Ho, Luca Vialetto CoffeeBreakDown is a podcast-style channel with chats hosted by two budding scientists, Aaron and Luca. Our objective is to strengthen connections between the scientific world and the general public, starting with the field of plasma physics. Specifically, we believe that the expression of the more creative and human side of science is a crucial aspect that is often neglected in our community, as opposed to the technical and factual one. Along those lines, this project is also intended as an avenue to accelerate our learning, both as scientists and as communicators. We aim to provide a relaxed environment for scientists to share their viewpoints about their experiences working in science and their research field. All are welcome to tune in and maybe even join the conversation! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information
