My Messy, Human Life Sheena Grund A new adventure of being alive in this messy, difficult, and beautiful human life... topics to be discussed at different times: life, unlearning, disability, faith, love, Spirit... really all the things! It'll be messy (as in all over the place), but that literally in the title of the podcast, so hopefully it's not a surprise! Also, life is unpredictable and beautiful, which I hope this podcast will be, too. Free Money with Sloane and Ashby Free Money with Sloane and Ashby Most sane people have given up hope that the finance industry can be a catalyst for positive change, but not Sloane Ortel and Ashby Monk. Since Free Money launched in 2019, they have helped listeners understand the true power (and immense potential) of long-term investing through accessible, authoritative, and deeply irreverent conversations with others pushing for progress. In the process, they’ve helped literally dozens of listeners understand root causes of the industry’s misalignment with the modern world and radicalized them into pushing for positive change. Harry Potter Saved My Life Harriet Morris Unexpected life lessons from The Boy Who Lived. Every episode, superfan Harriet Morris looks at one character, spell, invention or place from the magical world of Harry Potter (and related works) and asks: what hidden soul-saving teachings are there to help us navigate and dismantle anxiety, depression and the curveballs that life has a habit of throwing at us?As you will see, Winky the house elf, Draco Malfoy and the time turner all have as much to teach us about reclaiming our power as does Harry himself.Harry didn't literally save Harriet's life, but this more than any other work helped her recover from compulsive eating . ALL ABOUT EVERYTHING Philip Gonzales and Caleb Dingus Listen to All About Everything. The podcast about literally anything and everything. We say plenty of words, strung together to make complete sentences. This effectively communicates the ideas we are thinking about from our head to yours.
