In this deeply personal and paradigm-shifting episode, Kristina introduces the Inner Villain Transformation System—a shadow work model that synthesizes IFS, Human Design, the Enneagram, and primal wound theory into a single, coherent system. With co-host Anna, she explores how maladaptive patterns (like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome) aren't isolated quirks but interconnected arcs of transformation. Each “villain” isn't something to banish, but a gateway to your most powerful legend self.Whether you resonate with Regina George, Darth Vader, or Nurse Ratched, this episode gives you a mythic yet grounded framework for recognizing and alchemizing your deepest inner patterns—one archetype at a time.Topics Covered:The origin story of the Inner Villain systemWhy maladaptive patterns show up in clustersHow the nine villains align with Human Design centers and Enneagram typesThe concept of “negations” (deep limiting beliefs) and how they point to core villain archetypesThe development of the oracle deck and gameUnderstanding the arc: Pinnacle Villain → Sub-Villains → Hero → LegendInversion as the key spiritual movement (inspired by yoga, polarity, and karmic unwinding)How gameplay and roleplay deepen awareness of inner dynamicsDisney character analogs for each Enneagram/villain archetype pairingInner Villain Archetypes Introduced:Type 1: Obedient Critic → Legend Form: EqualizerType 2: Vengeful Martyr → Legend Form: NourisherType 3: Vain Controller → Legend Form: InventorType 4: Eternal Child → Legend Form: TravelerType 5: Evasive Expert → Legend Form: IntegratorType 6: Divisive Immortal → Legend Form: HealerType 7: Hungry Shapeshifter → Legend Form: PresenceType 8: Righteous Bully → Legend Form: ChannelerType 9: Invisible Destroyer → Legend Form: ArchitectKey Quotes:“You don't need to become a better person. You need to become better at change.”“Villains are like pendulums—when we're stressed, we swing into their worst form. When we're grounded, we move toward the hero.”“These aren't parts. They're entire universes.”“You don't jump stars—you invert the spin. That's the hero moment.”“Everyone has all nine villains. The goal is self-love across every domain of your life.”Game Mechanics Preview:Oracle deck includes 63 cards: 9 Pinnacle Villains, 3 Sub Villains (Persecutor, Victim, Rescuer), Hero, Legend, and 9 Power CardsDesigned for solo shadow work or group gameplayInvolves roleplay, self-inquiry, and archetypal progressionRoleplay scenarios bring unconscious patterns into awareness through embodied practiceResources & Links:Learn more or sign up for the newsletter: www.kristinawiltsee.com or www.playconscious.comBe notified when the Inner Villain Oracle Deck Kickstarter launches (Fall 2025)Explore the nine mini-episodes coming soon—one for each villain archetypeCall to Action:If this episode sparked recognition, subscribe to the newsletter to explore your villain arc, get early access to the deck, and dive deeper into the transformation system.

In the face of accelerating climate change, anticapitalist environmental justice activists and elite tech corporations increasingly see eye to eye. Both envision solar-powered futures where renewable energy redresses gentrification, systemic racism, and underemployment. However, as Myles Lennon argues in Subjects of the Sun: Solar Energy in the Shadows of Racial Capitalism (Duke University Press, 2025), solar power is no less likely to exploit marginalized communities than dirtier forms of energy. Drawing from ethnographic research on clean energy corporations and community solar campaigns in New York City, Lennon argues that both groups overlook solar's extractive underside because they primarily experience energy from the sun in the virtual world of the cloud. He shows how the material properties of solar technology—its shiny surfaces, decentralized spatiality, and modularity—work closely with images, digital platforms, and quantitative graphics to shape utopic visions in which renewable energy can eradicate the constitutive tensions of racial capitalism. As a corrective to this virtual world, Lennon calls for an equitable energy transition that centers the senses and sensibilities neglected by screenwork: one's haptic care for their local environment; the full-bodied feel of infrastructural labor; and the sublime affect of the sun. Myles Lennon is Dean's Assistant Professor of Environment and Society and Anthropology at Brown University.

We are now reflecting on one of our favorite offbeat mashups: that time we explored What We Do in the Shadows, the mockumentary about New Zealand or Staten Island's most lovable vampire roommates. The movie and later developed TV show actually sucked us into some pretty powerful reflections on teaching and learning. From Colin Robinson's energy vampire tendencies—to Laszlo's chaotic charm and Nandor's eternal quest for finding his why, we found ourselves asking: What does it really mean to lead, to learn, and to live… forever… in the classroom? So let's take time unearthing What We Do in the Shadows of the classroom and see what's changed since we last aired.
In the first episode of an "AI in the shadows" theme, Chris and Daniel explore the increasing concerning world of agentic misalignment. Starting out with a reminder about hallucinations and reasoning models, they break down how today's models only mimic reasoning, which can lead to serious ethical considerations. They unpack a fascinating (and slightly terrifying) new study from Anthropic, where agentic AI models were caught simulating blackmail, deception, and even sabotage — all in the name of goal completion and self-preservation.

As record numbers of Americans prepare for a low-gas-price July 4th, Trump faces a fresh crisis: a Democrat-appointed judge has ordered the reopening of the southern border, potentially overruling the Supreme Court's ban on nationwide injunctions. The hosts break down how this move could trigger a rush of cartel-linked criminals back into the country, sabotage ICE enforcement, and hand the left a potent narrative against Trump's immigration crackdown. Meanwhile, they expose surprising connections in the Diddy prosecution—led by James Comey's daughter, who also handled Epstein and Maxwell cases and has fought to keep related documents sealed. With echoes of Comey's alleged “honeypot” entrapments against Trump, the segment unpacks a tangle of judicial overreach, partisan media spin, and institutional power plays that could reshape the border—and the 2024 election.

When you walk through dark days, remember that the Holy Spirit is always with you. Pastor Bobby Chaw reminds us that discerning His voice is vital in these times. To do so, we must give attention to three key areas: the Word of God, a life of prayer, and the gifts of the Spirit.
In this episode's exploration of shadow work in Christianity, Patrick and Jonah venture into territory many ”on the way” find challenging: how to face our flaws, weaknesses, and darkness without falling into either denial or self-condemnation.The conversation begins with a vital distinction between healthy shadow work that leads to authentic humility and the unhealthy wallowing in self-criticism that can become its own form of spiritual ego. Drawing on personal experiences, biblical wisdom from Paul's letters, and the story of the man born blind, they challenge popular religious misconceptions that equate suffering with divine punishment or suggest that true spirituality means instant perfection.A different view of human shadows emerges. Unlike traditions that demand we either hide our weaknesses or punish ourselves for having them, Christ offers a third way: seeing our shadows truthfully while holding them in a gaze of unconditional love. "There's no condemnation in Christ"* doesn't mean our flaws don't exist – it means they're included in the redemption story, valued as the very ground where divine light does its transformative work.Most powerfully, Patrick and Jonah reveal how true spiritual wisdom isn't born from perfection but from integrating our shadows. When we speak from a place that has acknowledged darkness and worked through suffering, our words carry a depth and authenticity that spiritual bypassing never achieves. As Christ demonstrated through the cross itself, sometimes our greatest weaknesses become the most profound revelations of divine love.Some of us struggle mightily with perfectionism or are haunted by past mistakes. Some of us on the way are simply called by Truth to radical honesty on the spiritual path. We hope this episode offers a liberating vision: our entire being—shadows included—is gradually being transformed, through our life in Christ, into a vessel of heavenly light. How might our relationship with ourselves change if we approached our flaws not as evidence of failure, but as sacred ground for transformation?*Paul's letter to the Romans, chapter 8, verse 1.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

For the first time in our Veterans Breakfast Club history, we're shining a spotlight on an essential but often invisible force in America's recent wars: military contractors. Join us for this important livestream conversation with Ron Farina, Marine Corps Vietnam veteran and author of Out of the Shadows, and a panel of former contractors who served alongside U.S. forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other combat zones under Department of Defense contracts. We also welcome Rob Kugler, a Marine Corps veteran, whose brother, Mike, served as a military contractor and was killed in Iraq in 2007. This profound loss propelled Rob into a mission of healing and storytelling. In his memoir, A Dog Named Beautiful, Rob chronicles his cross-country journey with his three-legged chocolate lab, Bella. This heartfelt narrative captures the essence of love, loss, and the road to recovery. Through his travels, Rob found solace and a renewed purpose, connecting with countless individuals and sharing stories that underscore the human cost of war. Also joining us are Traci Protzenko and Colette Protzenko Sparks, sisters of Paul Protzenko, who was killed in action on July 9, 2011 in Panjshir, Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. Paul dedicated his life to the service of his country and its people. He proudly served in the Army's 82nd Airborne stationed overseas in Vicenza, Italy, retiring with the rank of Sergeant. Upon receiving an honorable discharge, he spent the next 21 years as a State Trooper. He earned the Life Saving Medal twice during his tenure. Immediately upon retirement from the State Police in 2009, he left for Afghanistan to become part of a Police Mentoring Team that trained the Afghan National Police Force. Paul was stationed for the better part of 2 years in the Panjshir Province of Afghanistan. During this time, he was instrumental in bringing the first Crime Scene Investigation Class to the Afghan National Police Force. This innovative class was well received and written up in the Army magazine, “Stars and Stripes.” Paul was killed on July 9, 2011 on the way to the Darah Police Station by an Afghan National Directorate of Security. This growing reliance on civilian contractors raises fundamental questions: Are contractors part of the military profession? Do they share the same code of conduct, sense of duty, and social obligation? How do they view their roles—and how do traditional military personnel view them? Research shows that many contractors come from law enforcement or prior military backgrounds, but often operate with different motivations, typically driven more by economic incentives than by the vocational calling traditionally associated with military service. Their training and operational directives are frequently dictated by government contracts, but they exist outside the chain of command and military legal structure. This “securitized management of violence” blurs the line between soldier and mercenary—and challenges long-held notions of military professionalism. Despite their integral role, contractors often return home to no welcome, no resources, and no community. They lack access to VA services, often receive no formal recognition, and are largely absent from public memory. As Ron Farina emphasizes in his work, these “invisible warriors” bear many of the same wounds as veterans—PTSD, moral injury, survivor's guilt—but without the support structure uniformed veterans rely on. This program will feature the voices of those contractors. They'll speak about their motivations, missions, relationships with military personnel, and the personal struggles they've faced in service and upon returning home. We'll also discuss the broader ethical, legal, and economic implications of America's unprecedented reliance on private military firms—some of which now rival the defense budgets of small nations. Let's give voice to those who served without a uniform but with no less courage, commitment, and consequence. We're grateful to UPMC for Life for sponsoring this event!

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, FIFA Club World Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup, and Canadian national team chat and interviews, in what has very much been a week of highs and lows. It was an eventful week in Whitecapsland, both on and off the pitch. A defeat to a highly clinical San Diego side saw them lose first place in the MLS Western Conference, but they bounced back in style with an important win at their old nemesis LAFC. We delve into the main talking points coming out of both matches, look at what caught our eye with the latest salary releases, and talk about the 'Caps' All-Star selections. Our feature interview this episode is with the man that's guided the Whitecaps to their best ever start to a season, Danish head coach Jesper Sorensen. It's been a great start to the Sorensen era here in Vancouver, with a win percentage of almost 50%, battling for first place in MLS, and reaching the club's first continental cup final. We chat about all of that and settling into life in Vancouver in our extensive and exclusive interview. We also delve into Canada's shock defeat to Guatemala at the Gold Cup and what lessons need to be learned from it. Plus there's chat about the costs of Vancouver hosting next year's World Cup, the action at this year's FIFA Club World Cup, and the action packed BC derby in the CPL. Music-wise, a solo Pete Shelley wraps up his residency as our Album of the Month, while Frank Black begins his, we've a Britpop song from Dubstar, and we go back to 1975 in Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.26: Intro - football pain 06.20: FIFA Club World Cup chat 22.40: Music chat - The Pixies, Glastonbury, karaoke highs and lows 28.10: Whitecaps salaries are out - what caught our eye 39.13: San Diego loss exposes some Whitecaps holes 52.30: Whitecaps bounce back to beat LAFC 67.30: Jesper Sorensen interview 106.53: Canada crash out of Gold Cup 136.50: Vancouver's World Cup hosting costs revealed 151.40: An eight-goal CPL BC derby spectacular 170.25: Wavelength - Bruce Thompson - My World Is A Football

The Museum of Shadows in Omaha, Nebraska is home to haunted artifacts, creepy dolls, and some spooky history. The building itself, a former brothel and mortuary, has a storied history including rumored murders and black-market surgeries. It now houses a collection of over 3,000 paranormal objects. Among the haunted highlights is Ada, a doll known for trying to escape her display and setting off alarms in the middle of the night. Another haunted doll, Claire, can be heard growling in a disturbingly non-human voice (EVPs and video evidence included!). And then there's the 10-Minute Sit Challenge in the pitch-black basement where the most notoriously demonic objects are stored…most visitors don't last more than five minutes. Plus, Corinne opens up about her grandmother's recent passing and the profound, synchronistic signs that her spirit might still be checking in. To top it off, we've got a listener story featuring a cursed puppet that wreaked havoc on an entire family. Museum of Shadows website Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?

After some thoughts about the recent NATO summit in The Hague, I focus on the perennial challenge of corruption. Even Russian officials are admitting it is again on the rise, and becoming more predatory, While there is a regular litany of middle-ranking officials charged and sentenced, there is no political will to tackle grand corruption at the top of the system -- and declining capacity to combat its resurgence at the bottom. What does all this mean for the system?The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here.

Hello again, my dear.Tonight, I ask you to do something very simple:Turn out the lights.Now listen closely… because in this episode, we descend into the places light forgets—where silence has a voice, and fear finds you by feel alone.These four tales are stitched together by the same creeping thread: darkness. The kind that hides your worst thoughts. Or worse… listens to them.

The Supreme Court is issuing its final decisions of the term this month. But it's been extraordinarily active since January, in part because the Trump administration has submitted over a dozen emergency applications asking the court to rule quickly on controversial issues. Those cases are part of what's known as the court's "shadow docket." And increasingly, it's affecting all of our lives. This episode originally published in 2023 and has been updated.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
London is a city of layers. Roman roads. Saxon graves. Plague pits and forgotten tunnels. But beneath the cobblestones and catacombs… something howls. In this six-part limited series from The Devil Within, we journey through centuries of urban legends, cryptid sightings, and historical anomalies to ask: What really stalks the streets and shadows of England's capital? From werewolves in Camberwell to the vampire panic of Highgate, each episode digs into chilling eyewitness accounts, forgotten folklore, and suppressed rituals. These aren't just stories—they're patterns. Something is beneath London. Something old. Something watching.
Sean Hagerty is a retired Special Operations Soldier with over 25 years of experience. He spent his younger years training and conducting combat operations with the 1st of the 75th Ranger Regiment. After nine years, in 2005, he was selected for and assigned to a Special Operations unit at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. There he spent sixteen years and finished his military career, retiring as a Sergeant Major. He received several awards and decorations throughout his career including three Bronze Stars. Sean currently works for the Department of Defense Science Board as the Senior Advisor. “The Defense Science Board (DSB) is charged with solving tough, technical, national security problems for the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the Under Secretaries of Defense, the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other senior Department officials.” His wife Misty is an Executive Officer at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Their children Courtney, Travis, Samantha, and Delaney all live in the Washington D.C. area and are thriving, growing and traveling along their own paths. The grandchildren Rowen, Jameson, and Wren keep Sean and Misty busy. Sean Hagerty has combined over 25+ years of service in the Special Operations community and deep-rooted research instincts from years of academic pursuits in history to tell this story. This story was written mostly in the plush seats of the daily Tackett's Mill/Pentagon commuter bus and the shaky bucket seats of the Franconia Springfield/Largo blue metro line. However, a few chapters were written while traveling for work, taking advantage of uninterrupted thoughts on an airliner. One chapter was even written during an evening break while on a business trip aboard the USS Nimitz CVN 68 aircraft carrier out in the Pacific Ocean. Cabal all came together during evening edits in his home shared with Misty, in Lakeridge, Virginia. Jones Point was the first novel in the Dane Cooper series. Cabal is the second. The Department of Defense, Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review has cleared the publication of both novels. Review was required due to Sean's past and current security clearance. Jones Point was published by Blue Handle Publishing on April 15th, 2024. Cabal will be released June 6th, 2025.. Readers can learn more about Sean at authorseanhagerty.com and follow Sean.Hagerty.73 on Facebook/Instagram and @seanhagerty850 on TikTok.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
