In This Episode You Will Learn About: Chris and Lori’s Become Aligned course How Natalya and Naomi deal with their very busy schedules How going to the gym with her mom is helping Natalya deal with the loss of her father How Natalya and Naomi make time for their families How having children fits into a wrestling career Natalya and Naomi’s next steps How it took Natalya five years to get into WWE How Natalya and Naomi support each other and their fellow competitors    Resources: Instagram: @_wwe_natalya_ Instagram: @trinity_fatu The Bliss Project 2020 Chris and Lori’s Become Aligned course Show Notes: Today my guests are WWE stars Natalya and Naomi. We chat about how they keep each other motivated even though they’re on the road and busy all the time. We also cover how Natalya is coping with the loss of her father and how they make time for their families. In this conversation I learnt a lot about how Natalya and Naomi push through to reach their goals. For example it took Natalya five years to get accepted for WWE but she kept trying.   Question Highlights: You want to stay in shape for the ring. But you’re on the road all the time. How do you mentally prepare for that?  What do you do when it feels like you can't push through mentally?  What is something that you wish more people knew about you? What are your next steps, career wise? When did you realize that helping other competitors and lifting them up actually lifts you up? What are you most excited about right now in your life? What is something for people who feel like they're either afraid or hitting a wall?    Guest Bio: With a combination of beauty, talent and untamed desire, Natalya is proudly carrying on the legacy of the legendary Hart Family in WWE. The daughter of Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, Natalya was trained in the rough-and-tumble Hart Dungeon. That unforgiving training ground that churned out mat greats like Brian Pillman and Natalya's husband, Tyson Kidd, molded The Queen of Harts into one of WWE's most dangerous submission grapplers. She also learned from her uncle Bret “Hit Man” Hart by driving many of her opponents to tap via a Sharpshooter. Her presence out of the ring is almost as formidable: Starring on E!’s Total Divas reality series and working as an active supporter of WWE and The Creative Coalition’s Be a STAR Alliance, Make-A-Wish, Susan G. Komen and the WrestleMania Reading Challenge. Natalya came agonizingly close to capturing championships for several years until she finally broke through at SummerSlam 2017, defeating Naomi for the SmackDown Women’s Championship to earn the gold for the first time since claiming the Divas Title in 2010. The WWE Universe always assumed it would take a man of tremendous ability to live up to the legendary legacy of the pink and black. As it turned out, it’s doing just fine in this woman’s hands. As the second-highest cause of whiplash behind car accidents, Naomi first turned heads as a dancer for the NBA's Orlando Magic and hip-hop stars like Flo Rida. These talents would take her around the world, as Naomi performed everywhere from North Korea to Indonesia. Despite all that success, Naomi's dance steps couldn’t satisfy her competitive spirit, which is how she found herself as a contestant on WWE NXT. Despite being eliminated in the final week of her season, Naomi soon launched into orbit around Planet Funk, as one half of The Funkadactyls. From there, she broke out on her own, determined to take WWE by storm. The Total Divas star has since had a series of remarkable runs as both fan-favorite and corner-cutting villain, doggedly pursuing the Divas Championship for the better part of a year and cementing her status as a ring general by heading up the attitude-filled Team B.A.D. of Tamina and Sasha Banks during the Divas Evolution.  Naomi then reinvented herself yet again as part of the SmackDown LIVE brand, making one-and-all feel the glow as she came face-to-face with her destiny by winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship twice, including an epic victory at WrestleMania 33 in a Six-Pack Challenge Match. A year later, she made history once again when she eliminated Bayley to win the first-ever WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34. After the 2019 Superstar Shake-up, Naomi is now adding a glow to the red brand. Earn Your Happy is a production of Crate Media...moreCopy Link

On Monday, October 14, 2002, Amy Sher left her job at the Lahey Clinic earlier than usual. On Tuesday and Wednesday she called in sick to work. And then on Thursday, October 17, her husband Robert Desmond called in sick for her and told Amy’s employer that she would not be returning to work. He called back on Friday to ask for Amy’s supervisor’s email address, stating that she was not able to send an email herself. Later, when asked by police where his wife had gone, Robert Desmond told them that he had dropped her off at a train station and that he had not seen her since but this wasn’t the first time Amy had disappeared. She fell out of sight long before that fateful October day, when her abusive husband forced her to refuse contact with her family and friends. Now Amy was actually missing, and there is no evidence Amy chose to leave.If you have any information about Amy’s disappearance, you can call the Billerca, Massachusetts Police Department at 978-671-0900.If you would like to listen to more from Laura Richards, please check out Real Crime Profile.This episode was sponsored by:Sleep Number- You’ll only find Sleep Number at one of their 575 Sleep Number stores nationwide.

Radio signals from space just reached Earth: Proof of alien life or is it something else? Link: https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1167152/Radio-signals-from-space-Earth-proof-of-alien-life-Fast-Radio-Bursts-space-news ASTRONOMERS in Canada have just encountered mysterious radio signals coming from deep space – could they be proof of alien life or is it something else entirely? The mysterious radio signals are so-called Fast Radio Bursts or FRBs from some unknown source in the cosmos. Thanks to Canada’s CHIME radio telescope in British Columbia, astronomers have identified eight of these radio bursts on Earth. FRBs are incredibly short blasts of radio waves that only last milliseconds at a time. First discovered in 2007, FRBs have been a source of confusion among the scientific community. The study reads: “We report on the discovery of eight repeating Fast Radio Bursts (FRB) sources found using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope.” McGill Space Institute PhD student Pragya Chawla, who co-authored the paper, said: “Discovering eight sources like this is so important because it says we have a lot more repeating FRBs and can figure out the environments and the galaxies these FRBs are located in if we follow them up with other telescopes.” Scientists have described these signals as being 1,000 times weaker than a mobile phone found on the surface of the Moon. We still have no new clue on whether the origin is artificial or natural. Victoria Kaspi, an astrophysicist at McGill University, told CBC: “The first biggest conclusion is that this is not an anomalous phenomenon. This is for real. “It just takes time and patience to find them. And two, it offers the opportunity to localise them, and that’s huge in the FRB field.” The first sign of an FRB was found in 2007, hidden in a 2001 data set collected by the Parkes Observatory in New South Wales, Australia. Could FRBs be signals from alien civilisations? There has been a lot of heated discussion around the origin of FRBs. Professor Abraham Loeb from the University of Harvard told Express.co.uk in July, an extraterrestrial origin cannot be discounted. He said: “We still have no new clue on whether the origin is artificial or natural. “The origin of FRBs is still a mystery. The data at hand is not sufficient to reveal the identity of their sources.” Most astronomers, however, believe FRBs are created by large-scale astronomical phenomena.
