from Adaptive Humans · host Jami de Lou

Holidays aren’t neutral. They hold memories, expectations, cultural rituals, and often the ache of who or what is missing. Jami shares personal stories about grief, disconnection, and the moment she learned to let joy and sorrow coexist without hiding one or performing the other. She shares three Brave Enough Moments for navigating the season with honesty, compassion, and boundaries, plus a simple grounding practice you can use anytime. A gentle holiday season includes space for everything you’re carrying, but without the guilt.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.  AnthroBiology Podcast Gaby Lapera The AnthroBiology Podcast sits down with biological anthropologists once or twice a month to learn about what they do and why it's rad.
