"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Welcome to the last episode of the 2021! In this series so far, we have talked plenty about having courageous conversations with others. But what about having a courageous conversation with ourselves? As a new year approaches and we begin to reflect on the year that has passed, we find ourselves crafting new New Year resolutions and making changes in order to become the “best version of ourselves". What we may forget to ask is "do we know what version of ourselves we working on to begin with?" Join us as we talk about key aspects of a courageous conversation that is pointed inwards, our favourite holiday traditions (hot chocolate and cheese anyone?) and leave you with a challenge for the holiday season!…

Welcome to our last series of the year! With the holiday season approaching and time with family and friends increases, we often have to navigate away from numerous conflict causing topics—politics, relationship status, lifestyle choices, and now healthcare, COVID-19 vaccines, and so much more. What if, rather than avoiding particular topics and pretending the undercurrent tensions in the room don't exist, we learned how to have healthy conversations about them? For the rest of 2021, we will be talking about what it looks like to initiate and participate in courageous conversations —conversations that are honouring of each person involved, come from a place of humility, address tensions, and handle discomfort with grace. This episode's topics include: - What keeps us from having courageous conversations? - Validating the person even if we disagree with the perspective - Creating brave space and using "I" statements Enjoy!…

Let's Talk About It: Are You Happy?—#Blessed. 37:00

Welcome to the last episode of our series: Are You Happy? If you been following closely, you will know that this series has been focused on trying to answer the question Are You Happy, and in trying to answer that question, we (and our guests) have tried to first define what happiness is. Today, as we lead up to our final attempt to answer the question "Are you happy?" we first start wondering what it means to be #blessed. Are we truly happy, or are trying to be happy because we appear #blessed? As your co-hosts, we did our research and excitedly provide you with two perspectives for what being "blessed" means—one from the OG Greek and one from good ol' IG. Listen along to the concluding episode of this "happiness" quest and find out our own personal answers to the question "Are you happy?"

Welcome to the sixth episode of season two and the third episode of our Are You Happy? Series. For this podcast, we are joined by Alex Akade, a long time friend of both of us. Alex is currently a Computer Science major, lover of stock market trading, chess, and a good thought provoking conversation. This is why we had him on to speak with us about happiness in in the midst of transition. So far, in this series, we have spent plenty of time talking about how we define happiness, but what happens when we go through major life changes? Our definitions change too. Alex speaks candidly about how he has come to a place of not letting others define happiness for him, of going back to his Nigerian roots in remembering the simplicity of joy, and the importance of keeping life pressures and responsibilities in perspective. Thank you Alex for hanging out with us on this episode! We are grateful for the wisdom that you shared.…

Welcome Episode 2 of our Are You Happy series! First, we are joined by sisters Jesam and Nini Onun, who provide their unique perspectives in efforts to help us help us answer the question "as adults, have we overcomplicated the concept of happiness, or as kids was the concept of happiness oversimplified to us". Secondly, with Jesam, we explore questions around how social and cultural determinants can impact peoples' definitions of happiness. Do we have the ability to define happiness for others? How do understandings of happiness differ between cultures? Join us for a whirlwind conversation, sprinkled with a little sociology, psychology, and a lot of good thoughts for reflection. Disclaimer: we do touch on topics that can be triggering, such as substance use disorder between 27:48 -28:30.…

Welcome to our newest series: Are You Happy? So much of North American culture is focused on attaining happiness. But, when we really sit down to ask ourselves what it means to be happy, we can quickly find ourselves with more questions than answers.

Let's Talk About It: Rise and Grind— Identity; What's Your Definition? 35:42

4 years geleden35:42

35:42

In this week’s episode, Olejuru and Paula reflect on a key question proposed by our guest from Episode 2: “If everything you have is taken away, so to speak, then who are you as an individual?" Too often, identity seems to be based upon the things we are doing and what we have. When it feels like we are not doing enough compared to others, we can feel a sense of loss or inadequacy. How, then, do we make sure our identity does not become rooted in the approval of other people? What happens when we we evaluate the labels we accept for ourselves and freely step into the space outside of that box? Enjoy this special episode on identity as we conclude our Rise and Grind series!…

WELCOME TO SEASON 2. Enjoy the very special musical ensemble at the beginning of this episode. Just for you, Olejuru busts a rhyme and Paula keeps the beat as they share the essence of this month's series in a very... creative way. To introduce this new podcast season and their new seasons of life, Paula and Olejuru take time to check in with each other. They talk about getting used to new routines, admitting that, in the midst of change and busyness, the work “grind” can actually be quite lonely. Why is it possible that we are surrounded by people and support and yet still feel isolated? How do we define and find balance in the midst of a life that feels too full? Is self-care selfish? If these thoughts or questions are familiar to you, you're in the right place. This episode will definitely worth your time. Rise and Grind Let’s Talk About It Podders.

The past few weeks we have been talking about the Five Pressures of Process but in today’s episode, we wanted to talk about what happens when plans change? Imagine you’ve stayed the course, you’ve cultivated patience, learned to navigate the pressure of people and the need to perform, figured out your priorities and stuck to them, found ways to notice and be happy with your progress, and made decisions about what you’re willing to sacrifice. But now, it looks like all your plans have to change. Where you thought you were going is no longer where you see that you need to go. Listen along as Janelle, Arielle and Gabrielle from the Bloom and Grow podcast join us to talk about what happens when plans change, how God has taught them about surrender, dealing with pride, and remembering that nothing is wasted.

“Is this venture worth pushing through in this moment?” “What is the price of this pursuit?” “If I give up now, what am I losing? What am I gaining?” Sometimes in life we have to pay the price of sacrificing the temporary happiness of one moment to gain the long term satisfaction of reaching a goal. In today’s episode, we talk about the cost of working through our processes, the importance of evaluating pressure as bone breaking or diamond making, and assessing when to give up our pursuit. With this episode, we conclude our Process Series. We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have! If this series has impacted you in any way, we’d love to know about it!
