Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

Jump into Talk Cosmos on March 22 from 1-2 p.m. PDT for the “Spring Equinox Vibrational Patterns”. What is the Equinox: Since antiquity, humanity celebrates the turning of the seasons with the two Equinoxes connecting the Sun, Moon and nature's seasonal cycles. Equinox literally means the ‘EQUAL NIGHT” when day and night experience about the same length of time. The Sun shifts between the hemispheres to reach its highest point in the sky positioned directly above the celestial equator around March 20 and September 22. The Seed Chart: The Spring Equinox chart becomes a powerful seed chart, unveiling profound resonating themes. Through the unique lens of Vibrational Astrology, we explore the intricate core patterns influencing our collective journey initiated this Spring Equinox.

Stacy is still getting adjusted to life in San Antonio with days mostly punctuated by sun, heat, deliveries, and service calls with folks like the grumpy clock guy. She's also learning about life with hard water which Eric is surprisingly well-versed in. His update is less sunny as he found out he didn't read the fine print about his gum graft surgery; like that there's a part two!! It's enough to make you wonder about the ROI on dental procedures. But in good news, Battersea played another great show even if Eric did spill his drink. Stacy and Eric both checked off Cultural Blindspots; Stacy watched 9 to 5 while Eric watched, To Kill a Mockingbird. Eric also watched Band of Brothers and Pacific which was awesome but brutal. The weekly topic was fantastic failure which made for hilarious and heartfelt conversation that taught us not to be phased by failure (which we all fail to do).

Neil reflects on how age isn't just the number of candles on his birthday cake, but also how the body functions and how young you feel inside. "As I approach 82, my physiological age tests closer to 43, and emotionally I sometimes feel about six years old. For me, staying curious, playful, and engaged with life is what truly keeps me young."

Episode 114: "How To Make Your Own Luck" Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Ashley and JD explore the science behind “luck.” Is it random? Is it fate? Or is it something we quietly cultivate through mindset, behavior, and openness? Drawing from psychology and behavioral research, they unpack how beliefs about luck influence agency, opportunity recognition, and resilience — and how you can intentionally position yourself for more “lucky” outcomes. Because sometimes luck isn't magic. It's movement.

In this inspiring episode of Made of More, host Chris Erdmann sits down with Alia Joy to discuss her transformative journey from battling a debilitating autoimmune disease to becoming a passionate entrepreneur. Diagnosed at age 15 and bedridden for years due to intense physical pain, Alia found strength through her faith, the power of holistic medicine, and a supportive community. Now, she is channeling that adversity into purpose by launching "Organic Design," a newly founded nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals uncover the root causes of their illnesses while providing them with crucial financial and emotional support. Expanding her entrepreneurial vision even further, Alia is also in the process of producing a documentary about autoimmune diseases and starting an anti-inflammatory cooking show to make healing more accessible. Her journey is a powerful testament to refusing to let negative diagnoses define your reality, instead using personal hardship to build an organization that serves and uplifts others. About the show: Made of More is a radio show / podcast that shares the powerful, personal stories behind the entrepreneurs of the greater Seattle area and beyond, individuals who have built meaningful businesses and experiences not just to better their own lives, but to positively impact their communities, families, and the world around them. This show isn't just about what they've built – it's also about who they are as people. We explore their journeys of inspiration, adversity, risk, and resilience. We dig into the pivotal moments, the challenges that shaped them, and the drive that pushed them to step outside the box and do something different. These are people who are made of more. And so are our listeners. Each episode is an invitation to connect more deeply; not only with the story, but with the mission behind each business. Whether it inspires you to chase a dream, break your own mold, or simply experience and support these ventures in a way that speaks to you, Made of More reminds us that greatness often begins with a story worth telling.

After 244 episodes of fashion debates, wardrobe dilemmas, trend predictions, and the occasional style confession, the Wisdom From the Wardrobe team takes a step back to look at the journey of the show itself. What began as a simple monthly conversation about clothes grew into a weekly exploration of fashion trends, personal style, wardrobe psychology, and the ever-changing relationship people have with getting dressed. Naturally, this episode begins in classic Wisdom From the Wardrobe fashion, with a slightly unexpected detour. Bec arrives armed with a Thera-Cane and the bold declaration that she may have been “born to be 80,” which quickly leads to a lively discussion about the so-called Potato Shoe Theory. From Birkenstock to UGG slippers to foam-molded footwear that looks suspiciously like it may have been inspired by root vegetables, the team explores the rise of comfort-first fashion and the curious charm of “ugly-cute” shoes in the 2020s. From there the conversation turns toward the show itself and the many directions it has taken over the years. Along the way the team revisits memorable moments, spirited debates around the table, surprising fashion comebacks, and the universal wardrobe mystery of why we all seem to own at least one item we've never worn but absolutely refuse to part with. More than anything, this retrospective celebrates the conversations that made the show what it is: discussions about confidence, identity, creativity, and the small daily ritual of choosing how we present ourselves to the world through clothing. After hundreds of conversations about style, trends, and the psychology of getting dressed, the team reflects on what they've learned and what they hope listeners have taken away from the show. Trends may come and go, but great style, like a good conversation — never really goes out of fashion. If this is your first time listening, here are a few episodes from the archive to get you started: • Our conversations about personal style and confidence • Episodes exploring fashion trends and wardrobe psychology • Listener favorite discussions on closet clean-outs and wardrobe strategy Browse the full archive and discover more conversations about fashion, style, and the everyday ritual of getting dressed.

In this episode of the Glen Gilbert Connection, Dr. Alan Chen joins the show to explore how men can rebuild themselves physically, emotionally, and relationally following a divorce. The discussion sheds light on the downward spiral many men face during relational and emotional turmoil, which often manifests in poor health habits like sleep deprivation, depression symptoms, and overeating. To break these negative patterns, Dr. Chen encourages men to look closely at the root causes of their relationship failures, take accountability for potentially ignoring early red flags in a partner, and recognize how their personal management of stress is actively absorbed by their children. A core theme of the conversation is the distinct way men process relational grief and the critical importance of fostering male-only spaces for authentic healing. Dr. Chen strongly advises against using social media as a public diary for emotional struggles, noting that deep vulnerability should be reserved strictly for a trusted circle of male friends. By acknowledging that men and women possess different strengths, experiences, and ways of understanding, the episode underscores that surrounding oneself with other men who have faced similar heartbreaks allows for genuine empathy, the removal of misplaced shame, and the collaborative problem-solving necessary to build a healthier future.

The band is back together, except not really since Stacy is finally in her new home in San Antonio. While Eric has been prepping for his latest Battersea gig at The Central Salon and adjusting to Daylight Savings, Stacy has been unpacking, learning the two-step at Stable Hall, and trying out local bars. At Otto's Icehouse she ran into Spurs Jesus which was not a religious experience although Stacy and Eric had some thoughts on adding other biblical icons to make a sort of Peanuts-esque gang for SJ to hang with at games. As for Cultural Blindspots, Stacy finally watched Weapons on a recent flight and was semi-surprised by how much she liked it. Meanwhile Eric continues to overachieve by watching not one, but two movies; Key Largo, a Bogart and Becall movie with a film noir vibe and Tucker, The Man, The Car. While sharing it's clear Stacy knows all the “hot goss” about dead Hollywood stars and nothing about cars. Eric shares his surprise that the Tucker movie was directed by famed Godfather director, Francis Ford Coppola since it seems more like what would be considered an “indie” these days. As for the week's top topic, annoying coworker behaviors, Eric has more actual experience in a classic office setting, but Stacy has more thoughts.

Today, Loretta welcomes Nitasia Roland is a writer, poet, digital artist, independent researcher, and publisher of esoteric works through her indie press, Urania Press. With an interdisciplinary master's degree in English, poetry, printmaking, and design, and an MFA in creative writing, her work sits at the crossroads of art, literature, mysticism, and symbolic philosophy. For over twenty-five years she has explored the Western Esoteric Tradition, Hermeticism, mythology, divination, synchro mysticism, and poetic trance as pathways to deeper understanding of the symbolic imagination. Her creative works include several Tarot and oracle decks such as Tarot Chimera, Starlore Astronomical Tarot, Terra Incognita Oracle, Astronomia Oracle, and the widely celebrated Tarot Emblemata deck. Tarot Emblemata uniquely revives the symbolic tradition of Renaissance emblem books, drawing from 16th-century French historian Claude Paradin's Devises Heroïques, aligning those enigmatic emblems with the Major and Minor Arcana of Tarot. Through this fusion of historical imagery and archetypal symbolism, Roland's work invites readers into contemplative dialogue with the mysteries of myth, spirit, and imagination.

Episode 113: "What I Didn't Know About You" What if better conversations start with better questions? In this lighter but deeply insightful episode of Staying Power, Ashley and JD ask each other unexpected, humorous, and thought-provoking questions — sparking stories about identity, growth, fear, resilience, and joy. Backed by research on curiosity, emotional intimacy, and relational connection, this episode explores how asking deeper questions — whether with a partner, friend, coworker, or yourself — strengthens bonds and expands self-awareness. Because sometimes the fastest way to grow closer is simply to ask better questions.

Science class meets style column this week on Wisdom From the Wardrobe. We kick things off with Bec's In the News, where she introduces a fascinating innovation in fashion technology: a chalk-based mineral polymer coating that blocks UV and infrared radiation and can cool fabrics up to eight degrees. That's right, a fabric finish designed to literally keep you cooler. When science and style collide, we're paying attention. From there, we head straight to the runways to unpack the Spring Summer 2026 fashion trends, and let's just say the designers did not come to whisper. This season is playing with proportion, personality, and a healthy dose of drama. Voluminous silhouettes are expanding around the hips, minis are confidently reclaiming leg day, and bold primary colors are clashing in joyful technicolor moments that feel more playground than palette. There's fringe with a sporty edge, draped fabrics creating movement and ease, and statement jewels escaping the eveningwear drawer to sparkle unapologetically in broad daylight. Along the way we also discussed the ongoing runway romance with midriff-baring suiting (a look some of us may admire more than adopt), the enduring power of sharp tailoring, and the inevitable return of florals for spring, this time revived from archival prints and given a fresh artistic twist. In other words, the Spring Summer 2026 style trends are bold, expressive, occasionally baffling, and undeniably fun to talk about. As always, we sort through what works on the runway, what might actually work in a real-life wardrobe, and which trends might be best appreciated from the comfort of a front-row opinion. Because fashion may change every season, but a good style conversation never goes out of fashion.

Join Talk Cosmos, Sunday 8 MARCH 2026, 1–2 p.m. PST as we explore the “PISCES LIBRA Lunar Beats” of the upcoming New and Full Moons. The 28° Harmonic Cycle Celestial events often transpire as turning points. The 28° Pisces New Moon on 18 March culminates a unique six-month sequence of New Moons occurring at the 28th degree. This rhythmic cycle finds its completion following the 12° Libra Full Moon on 1 April 2026. I find myself wondering: why did this unique 28° cycle begin and end in Libra? Having started with the October 2025 Libra New Moon, it now concludes after the 2026 Libra Full Moon. Reflective Curiosity & Venusian Values Mercury (in apparent retrograde) inspires a reflective curiosity, prompting us to ponder how the past influences the present. Intriguingly, as I write this, Mercury retrograde is conjunct Venus at 22° Pisces. This suggests contemplating Venusian values—and everything with which we share a relationship—matters with the utmost significance. In pure Libra terms, this involves engaging with whatever relates to you. Yes, this includes people, but it extends far beyond. Compassionate Unity & Harmonious Beauty This month's pair of lunations suggests a Piscean compassionate unity woven into the Libran appreciation for beauty and harmonious relationship. This resonance applies to every facet of your life—be it your pets, friends, family (present or not), your dreams, or your work. It touches whatever you desire for personal success, both within yourself and with others. The Essence of the Luminary The second week of the month focuses on capturing the Moon's essence during its New and Full phases. As our most personal planet, the Moon regulates the past as it flows into the present, allowing us to experience emotions, habits, and feelings. Ultimately, it helps us piece together the meaningfulness of our life story. Each month offers the energetic input needed to grow, heal, and develop in mind, body, heart, and spirit.

Neil reflects on a webinar he recently attended led by two Stanford researchers, Steven Crane and BJ Fogg. On the surface, it was a practical workshop about strengthening relationships. But underneath that, it felt like something more urgent—almost a response to the moment we are living in.

The Colors Everyone Will Be Wearing in Spring 2026 (According to Pantone) Fashion exhibitions, fearless color, and a little bit of “menopause mayhem.” Just another stylish week on Wisdom From the Wardrobe. We kick things off, as always, with In the News, where Bec brings us word that the iconic Met Gala has announced its upcoming theme, “Costume Art.” The exhibition explores the idea that the dressed body is a common thread across the entire museum collection, a reminder that clothing isn't just fashion, it's storytelling. From museum halls to the runways of New York Fashion Week, we then turn our attention to the Spring/Summer 2026 Pantone color trends, and this season's palette is anything but shy. According to the Pantone Color Institute, designers are pushing back against AI-driven sameness and leaning into bold personal expression. The result? A mix of comforting neutrals and vibrant statement shades that feel optimistic, expressive, and occasionally… a little chaotic. Think tones like Burnt Sienna and Coffee Bean, interesting shades like Muskmelon, soft romantic shades like Dusty Rose, and grounding hues like Marina and Sage Green. In other words, there's a color for every mood, including the occasional moment of what Stacy lovingly referred to as “menopause mayhem.” In this episode, we break down the Spring Summer 2026 color trends, talk about which shades actually work in real life wardrobes, and share practical ways to incorporate trending colors without feeling like you're dressed as a Pantone swatch. Because great style isn't about wearing every trend. It's about knowing which ones deserve a spot in your closet. Expect plenty of laughs, a few honest opinions, and the usual reminder that personal style should be fun and not a paint-by-numbers exercise. If you've wondering which fashion color trends are worth trying (and which might be better left on the runway), this episode is your stylish cheat sheet.

The Scam Epidemic & Fighting Back

Episode 112: "What Are You Looking Forward To?" What if one of the simplest ways to increase resilience, optimism, and emotional energy isn't a massive life change — but intentionally putting something on your calendar? In this episode of Staying Power, Ashley and JD explore the psychology and neuroscience of anticipation — why having something to look forward to improves mood, reduces stress, and increases motivation. They discuss how intentionally planning experiences (not just waiting for holidays) can help you live more aligned with your values, and why even small events — a dinner, a solo excursion, a game night — can profoundly shift your emotional baseline. Because joy doesn't just happen. It can be scheduled.

A 1998 Yohji Yamamoto suit. A front row seat at New York Fashion Week. And the enduring mystique of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. This week on Wisdom From the Wardrobe, we begin with In the News as Bec unpacks the buzz around the upcoming TV drama Love Story, inspired by John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. In a fashion moment that felt almost cinematic, Violet Grey founder Cassandra Grey wore Carolyn's actual black Yohji Yamamoto suit from 1998 to sit front row at Khaite, just feet away from the actress portraying her. Proof that true style doesn't expire. It evolves. It echoes. Which leads us to this week's deeper conversation: When getting dressed feels emotional, and why that's completely normal. Because if you've ever stood in front of your closet feeling frustrated, disconnected, nostalgic, or “off,” it's rarely about the blouse. Getting dressed is one of the first acts of identity we perform each day. It's how we signal who we are to the world and to ourselves. So, when life shifts career changes, aging, body changes, confidence shifts, new priorities, but the wardrobe hasn't caught up, friction happens. And that friction feels emotional. In this episode, we gently unpack the psychology of personal style: How clothing functions as identity signaling Why cognitive dissonance shows up when your closet reflects a past version of you The role of body perception and vulnerability in getting dressed How memory is embedded in fabric Why decision fatigue can amplify emotional reactions We also offer practical, calming tools, not corrective ones. From creating a “safe outfit” formula to making micro-adjustments instead of dramatic overhauls, this conversation is about removing shame and replacing it with curiosity. Because here's the reframe: If getting dressed feels emotional, it's usually not about clothes. It's about change. And change is growth. This episode blends a little fashion psychology, wardrobe mindset, and personal style evolution into a thoughtful conversation that reminds you: you haven't lost your style. You're just growing into a new one.

Sequins on ice? Absolutely. Sequins at brunch? …maybe not. On this episode of Wisdom From the Wardrobe, we kick things off in In the News with a look at the jaw-dropping Olympic figure skating costumes, intricate, hand-embellished masterpieces costing anywhere from $3,500 to $8,000 each (and skaters need three!). It's performance dressing at its most dazzling, and a reminder that sometimes fashion really is a sport. From there, we glide straight into a question far closer to home: How do you look put together without feeling overdressed? Because somewhere between “I just threw this on” and “Why am I dressed for a gala at the grocery store?” lives the sweet spot. In this episode, we unpack: The very real anxiety of being overdressed vs. underdressed Why structure and fit matter more than price tags or trends What actually makes an outfit look polished (hint: it's usually balance) How to look polished without looking try-hard Easy outfit formulas for errands, casual workdays, lunches, and everyday life And why confidence is the most powerful finishing touch We talk about finding your balance, because personal style isn't about perfection, It's about intentionality. Looking put together doesn't require more effort; it requires clarity. We also bust the myth of “effortless style.” Effortless isn't accidental; it's edited. If you've ever stood in front of your closet wondering how to look polished every day without feeling overdone, this episode gives you practical tools, real-life outfit formulas, and a mindset shift that makes getting dressed feel easier, and a lot more fun. Because style isn't a performance, It's communication. And when you find your balance, you don't have to overthink it — you just show up.

Connect with us on Talk Cosmos, Sunday MARCH 1, 2026, at 1-2 p.m. PST for the “Virgo Total Lunar Eclipse” feature guest Lillian Bennett the co-host of Sky Notes Podcast who joins host Sue ‘Rose' Minahan with Dr. Laura Tadd. Together we'll expand on this eclipse theme I've coined as a ‘Grand Strategy Refined”. We're within a dynamic time bringing deep meaningfulness to our lives. Freshly experiencing the overarching Saturn Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries February 20th lasting 36 years. Combined with an assertive, adventurous dynamic Fire Horse Lunar New Year coinciding with the Solar Eclipse 2 weeks earlier on February 17th. Collectively and individually, eclipses resonate no matter where they occur exactly, with the eclipse point influences for a period of time. This Total Lunar Eclipse at 12°54' Virgo occurs at its maximum time on March 3 at 11:37:30 a.m. UT in Greenwich England where the Universal Time world clock begins (6:38 a.m. EST / 3:38 a.m. PST). It endures about 5 hours (timeanddate.com/eclipse/), seen at some stage in all the Americas, both poles, both Pacific and Atlantic oceans (Total in the Pacific), East part of Europe, and Asia. It brings curiosity seeking to expand and redefine how to strategize, recreating belief systems. Mercury the communicator connects with the Sun's light, urging curiosity what new information will improve action in the present moment. To be successful takes willingness to probe deeply into values supporting the honesty and integrity of who we are in all its inclusiveness. Perhaps ultimately a spiritual reboot on some incremental level.

In this episode of the Glen Gilbert Connection, entrepreneur and philosopher Tai Lopez dives deep into the psychological blueprint men need to navigate the aftermath of heartbreak and professional collapse. Moving beyond his well-known "Books and Lamborghinis" persona, Tai outlines a three-tiered hierarchy of response to life's "lemons": moving from a dangerous state of nihilistic despair to a Stoic acceptance of fate, and finally achieving the "Will to Power". He argues that a man's resilience is defined by his ability to transform betrayal or divorce into a "Phoenix" moment, using personal pain as the fuel to reinvent his career, his physical health, and his approach to love. Tai emphasizes that a man's legacy is rooted in creation rather than mere maintenance, urging those in "dead-end" situations to reclaim their confidence through routine, physical training, and social connection. He offers a masterclass in modern relationship dynamics, advocating for the study of psychometrics to better understand and "read" people, which he considers 50% of the battle in life. By combining the grit of a Viking with the emotional intelligence of a philosopher, Tai challenges men to stop isolating, embrace their "scheduled" fate, and lead with a sense of honor that persists long after the struggle has passed.

Episode 111: "JD's Eighteen Months In Fight, Flight, and Freeze" Recently, JD spent 18 months navigating uncertainty, professional identity shifts, financial recalibration, and invisible pressure. He didn't think he was “falling apart.” He thought he was adapting. Surviving. Doing what adults do. But when a new opportunity emerged and his stress levels suddenly dropped, he realized something sobering: he had normalized living in a high-cortisol state — and his body had paid the price. In this episode of Staying Power, Ashley and JD explore how chronic stress becomes invisible, what it does to the brain and body over time, and how to bring yourself back from survival mode — even when life legitimately demands a lot from you.

In this powerful episode of the "Made of More" podcast, host Chris Erdmann sits down with Dawni Rae, founder of Dawni Rae Wellness, to explore her incredible journey from profound childhood trauma to successful entrepreneurship. Dawni opens up about her early struggles with abuse, sharing how she initially used extreme physical exercise and a decade-long battle with bulimia as mechanisms for escape. However, after hitting a pivotal breaking point in her early thirties, she committed to deep emotional healing, therapy, and self-compassion, ultimately choosing to turn her pain into her life's purpose. Today, she leads a thriving wellness business, guiding clients through transformative virtual fitness classes and immersive retreats that focus on healing the "inner child" alongside the physical body.

We had the pleasure today of speaking with Erica Ohrn, dog mama to a wonderful beagle, Radar, who also happens to be blind. Erica shared her story of how Radar came into her life, and how well he has adapted.
