At fourteen, Anthony Patrick Manieri bought his first camera. What started off as a hobby taking pictures, soon became a profession. With a successful career in media spanning more than three decades, Anthony’s sought after shots have graced the pages of some of the world's most popular magazines. In recent years, Anthony has focused his lens on a passion project. "Arrested Movement" is the name of his internationally acclaimed portrait series, which aims to shatter the mold of the perfect adonis with his subjects baring all for the camera while showcasing the beauty and diversity of men's bodies. Anthony opens up about his work and the importance of men's body positivity.

In recent times, church leaders, such as Bishop Mariann Budde and Reverend Munther Isaac, have attracted global attention with their impassioned sermons calling for compassion on those suffering from oppression. While from two different denominations, their words reverberated across the Christian world with the weight of a papal address. Reverend Gary van der Meer is a minister and interfaith officer with the Anglican Church of Canada. In this episode, Gary opens up about the role of the pulpit in the face of populism, annexation, tariffs and war crimes.

This is a special retrospective of Season 2 of The Stumbling Spirit Podcast, where I explore two key themes that emerged from this year’s show:

• Identity being one of the facets of resilience;
• And, the real and metaphorical mountains we climb.

Special thanks to all of my guests who shared their stories and insights on cultivating resilience.
