Midlife Murmurings Chris Gates Midlife Murmurings is a companion for those navigating the in-between—not quite young, not yet old, but deeply alive. Like a murmuration of starlings, each voice adds wisdom, challenges and questions which together create something beautiful, joyful and wonderous. Through life stories, career adventures, and soulful reflections, this podcast explores purpose, renewal, grief, and the quiet rebellion of midlife, as we shed the clothes that no longer fit, and rediscover our true selves. Join the conversation - https://linktr.ee/midlife.murmuringsCreated by Christopher Gates. Beyond Should: women reinventing their lives, careers & owning their power Lucy Reynolds Beyond Should is a podcast about breaking down the barriers of our “shoulds.”“I should stay in this job… I should take that meeting… I shouldn’t say how I really feel… I should, I should, I should.” Sound familiar?But what if everything powerful, beautiful, true, and authentic lives on the other side of should?Hosted by Lucy Reynolds, certified coach and founder of The Murmuration Collective, Beyond Should invites listeners to stop living in their “shoulds” and start naming, claiming, and pursuing what they deeply want. Through stories, wisdom, and candid conversations with inspiring guests — thought leaders, creative minds, advocates, artists, entrepreneurs, and storytellers — each episode explores courage, self-trust, asking for help, embracing failure, and stepping into a more vibrant, authentic way of living.Expect laughter, honesty, vulnerability, and the occasional f-bomb as we challenge cultural conditioning, shed inherited expectations, and reclaim personal power.Becau MURMURATIONS - Un podcast Biocoop pour inspirer un futur bio Biocoop Agriculture, alimentation, commerce, mode de vie… où en serons-nous en 2040 ? A travers unesérie d’interviews d’experts, Biocoop interroge l’avenir que la coopérative rêve toujours plus bio. Dans chaque épisode de Murmurations, nous leur demandons d'imaginer un lieu, un objet du futur et denous décrire sa photographie.  L’exercice permet de mieux comprendre le présent et de se projeter dans de nouveaux récits pourbâtir dès maintenant un avenir désirable.  Murmurations, pourquoi ? Pour les Anglais, le mot désigne un nuage d’oiseaux. Un vol d’étourneaux par exemple. Par leur comportement collectif, ils se coordonnent dans des mouvements complexes sans qu'il y ait de chef d'orchestre.   La philosophe française Isabelle Stengers évoque la “murmuration collective” dans la société deceux qui sont impatients de voir un autre monde émerger.   Nous avons aussi choisi ce mot pour l’image et la beauté. Pour que les murmures de la terre finissent par faire force.  Hébergé par Ausha. Visite L'écriture ne tombe pas du ciel Collectif Murmuration Un podcast présenté par le collectif Murmuration, qui rassemble dix drôles d’oiseaux passionnés d’écriture. On y parle donc d’écriture, de création, de nous et de nous en tant que collectif.
