In this episode, we dive deep into the world of the unexplained, where reality and myth blur into one. From terrifying roadside encounters to years of unexplained abductions, tonight's stories will leave you questioning just how much of the unknown is lurking right outside our doorsteps.Story 1: The Werewolf on the HighwayOur journey into the strange begins with a late-night drive home, where a logistics worker encounters something he can't explain. At first, he thinks it's a moose or a bear lying in the road, but as he slows down, he realizes it's something else entirely. Its sickly yellow eyes, patchy wet fur, and unnatural, almost human-like legs haunt him for weeks. Was it just a wolf struck by a passing truck, or did he come face-to-face with something straight out of legend—a werewolf?Story 2: A Woman's Harrowing Abductions by SasquatchFor one Ohio woman, strange encounters weren't just fleeting moments of terror—they were a lifelong nightmare. She claims that a group of Bigfoots repeatedly visited her family, even abducting her and holding her captive in a cave as a child. Over the years, her memories of these experiences were repressed, only to resurface later, bringing with them chilling details of her time among the creatures. Were they simply observing her, or did they have a deeper purpose?Story 3: Adele's Backyard VisitorSometimes, encounters with the unknown come when we least expect them. For Adele, it was a quiet spring morning in her backyard, where she often fed local wildlife. As she sat watching the animals, she noticed something unusual—long, flowing blonde hair moving toward the feeding station. At first, she thought it was a dog, but as the creature got closer, she realized it wasn't. With dark, leathery hands and feet and intelligent eyes, this being defied everything she knew. When it stood up on two legs and sprinted away at impossible speed, she knew her life would never be the same.Story 4: The Wolfman of Cinder RoadOur final story comes from a prominent local government official who wishes to remain anonymous. Late one night, while driving down a backroad near Bendon, Michigan, he spotted a pair of glowing eyes in his headlights. Expecting a deer, he slowed down—only to realize that the creature before him was no ordinary animal. Standing on two legs near a road-killed deer was a massive, wolf-like figure covered in dark fur. He brought his truck to a complete stop, staring in shock as it stared right back. Just as he began to doubt his own eyes, the creature dropped to all fours and sprinted across the road into the woods. Shaken but determined to prove what he had seen, he stepped out and photographed massive paw prints in the soft dirt. If not for those pictures, he admits, he might have convinced himself it was all in his imagination.Final Thoughts: What Lurks in the Shadows?Each of these stories leaves us with a sense of unease—a reminder that sometimes, the world is far stranger than we'd like to believe. Were these encounters simply misidentified animals, tricks of the mind, or proof that creatures of legend still walk among us?That's for you to decide.But if one day you find yourself alone on a dark highway, standing in your backyard at dawn, or venturing into the woods at dusk, take a moment to listen. Watch the shadows.Because maybe—just maybe—something is watching you back.Subscribe & FollowIf you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe and leave a review!

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we're analyzing the 2001 rom-com "Legally Blonde." Although some parts of this move (particularly the lack of diversity) haven't aged well, it was fun to revisit the '90s. We admire Elle's strong sense of self and the way she was able to use it to help others like Paulette. We enjoyed the way this movie tackled serious topics like sexual harrassment, imposter syndrome, and emotional abuse in the context of the broader comedy. We hope you enjoy! https://www.instagram.com/analyzescripts/ https://www.tiktok.com/@analyzescriptspodcast Website [00:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fury, a psychiatrist. [00:12] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. [00:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and TV shows. [00:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriend. [00:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: There is so much misinformation out there and it drives us nuts. [00:32] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like. [00:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better. [00:39] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. [00:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: And your DSM Five and enjoy. [00:55] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Hi, thanks for joining us today. We are going to recap a little bit before we get into the movie that we're covering, Legally Blonde. So stay tuned. We have so much Emmy news. [01:06] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, we have a ton of Emmy news. The Emmy nominations came out last week and a lot of the shows that we have covered over the past few months were heavily nominated, including Succession, White Lotus, Yellow Jackets and Shrinking. So if you hadn't had a chance to listen to all those episodes, please go back and take a listen. [01:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, I mean, I think none of them were surprised. [01:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: No, but I was surprised. I mean, I wasn't surprised. Succession got 27 nominations. White Lotus got 23. White Lotus season two, which we're actually going to release an episode about next week. I thought that was like a great season, but I was a little surprised it got so heavily nominated. And I don't know if you notice, Portia, but in the supporting actor in a drama category, it's all White Lotus and Succession actors. [01:54] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's it. [01:54] Dr. Katrina Furey: No one else from anything else. And I was like, whoa, they're going to duke it out. [01:58] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, they're all so good. So it's just like, how can you even I don't know. They're all good for different reasons, right? [02:06] Dr. Katrina Furey: How do you pick one? And also the best supporting actress is very heavily White Lotus and Succession, including the two actresses whose names are escaping me right now, but they play the two native Italian girls in White Lotus season two. I was really glad that they got nominated. And our BFF, Jennifer Coolidge got a nomination. So that's exciting. [02:26] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, really excited. And I was most excited to see Jessica Williams for shrinking, too. [02:31] Dr. Katrina Furey: I hope she wins. Gabby, gabby. [02:34] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Gabby character. [02:35] Dr. Katrina Furey: We love her. We love her water bottles. We love her energy. [02:39] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think people are also finding shrinking right now, like later. Yeah. [02:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: So again, if you haven't listened to our episodes yet, I think we have like four episodes about shrinking because we tried to split it up and there. [02:49] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Was so much to talk about. [02:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: But it's also really funny. I thought Yellow Jackets might have gotten more nominations. I was a little I mean, again, great. They got nominated for outstanding drama. Melanie Linsky got nominated. But I know everyone was really pushing for Sophie Nielsen. I don't know if I'm saying her name correctly as Young Shauna. I didn't see her name there. That's kind of a bummer. [03:11] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't know. Thinking about yellow jackets, like, not a lot of people I know have seen it. I think there's another person who I interact with who watched yellow jackets because I told them about it. [03:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: Are you basically saying we're influencers? [03:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Basically, I'm an influencer at the couch. [03:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: Basically, if Showtime or HBO wants to sponsor us, feel free. [03:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. So I'm spreading the news. But I think that's the problem with that show. It's on Showtime, which, again, is like HBO Max or Max. But I don't think Showtime is as big. I feel like I'm using air quotes. Like, everyone has Max. Yeah, but not everyone has Showtime. [03:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, no, I could see that. But then with these awards, at least with the Oscars, I feel like a lot of times more obscure things do get a lot of nominations or end up winning. I don't know if it's that way for the Emmys. I'm not really hip to that insider info. I will say I was really happy to hear Vanderpump Rules got nominated. Just as a tangent, I thought, again, I love trash reality TV, but I do think this season was really good and they totally deserve it. And the editors got nominated, too, which I think is super well deserved. [04:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I wonder if that's, like a precedent. [04:25] Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, sorry, what were we going to say? [04:27] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No, just like editing reality TV. We see producers or writers or editors for all these fictional, amazing shows, but they're working hard, too. [04:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. And I think it is interesting that I feel like in the Bravo sphere, vanderpump Rules has always been seen as kind of like the little sister to maybe like The Housewives or all these other shows. But they got nominated, so I kind of feel like it's like the underdog coming out, which, again, kind of reminds me of Elle Woods being the underdog that no one saw coming. [05:00] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. That's a great segue. [05:01] Dr. Katrina Furey: I like you. Thank you. It just came naturally. [05:04] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's when you know it's better. So yeah. So, Legally Blonde, we're going to be discussing today, it came out in 2001. [05:11] Dr. Katrina Furey: Wow. [05:11] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So it's pretty old. [05:13] Dr. Katrina Furey: Just like us. [05:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Just like us. [05:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like me, at least. [05:17] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Did you watch it when it came out? [05:19] Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, yeah. [05:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Monumental. Yes. [05:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: I've seen this movie a bazillions of times. [05:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I've seen it on TV. Every time it's on, I think I just have it on in the background. [05:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: You didn't go to, like, the movies with your friend? I didn't go to movies. So, again, I feel like I'm not that much older than you, but in this context, I am reminded that I am. And again I feel like am I the Paulette to your l? No. [05:43] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Maybe if you can teach me how to Bendon's now. Yeah, I totally can, but no, I think those couple of years, though, matter based on where we were at during those years. I was in heightening, I was twelve. That makes a big difference for TV and shows at that time. [06:03] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, for sure. I mean, I love watching this movie because I think it reminds me of my younger years seeing it with my friends from Dance. We all had those little heart necklaces, the knockoff Tiffany necklaces. I love the bubble letter font and all the colors. Yeah, exactly. Like all that stuff. It's really nostalgic in that way. But when I rewatched it in preparation for recording this, I was like, oh my gosh, Elle Woods is such an amazing character. I don't know what was your reaction to kind of rewatching it as an adult? [06:39] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think when I've rewatched the movies that we've covered that are older, I continually am cringing at some of the. [06:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: Things like diverse they are true. Or how some of the language, they. [06:54] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Still say things that I'm just like, OOH yikes. And I will say some of the things that I've heard are words that they've used in Legally Blonde in The Hangover. They do edit them out. [07:07] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like when you see a TV now, like, I'm thinking when Jennifer Cool just character says the R word, maybe. [07:11] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yes. So when they're replaying on E, those parts are not on TV. So I did. [07:18] Dr. Katrina Furey: Watch this. [07:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like I think I forget. Where Amazon Prime? I think I did too. And then it's the full movie with all the glory and I was just like I think it's because I'm being more analytical and nitty gritty and looking for things. [07:32] Dr. Katrina Furey: Well now, Portia, we are like scholars of film. We are we're not only scholars of mental health and psychiatry, we are scholars of film and we're combining these interests. So of course we are watching it with an analytic lens. [07:43] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: A little bit of a disappointment, to be honest. [07:46] Dr. Katrina Furey: I noticed that too, with some of the language and also in terms of diversity, I think I saw like one black person and it was the student that Professor Stramo like, hit in the head with the pen. And I was like, really? The whole movie? The whole movie. That's the one black person, they get hit in the head with a pen. So I think that's speaking to exactly what you're saying. [08:05] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, and then also, just like it was funny watching it on Greek Life, all the stuff on every fall now on TikTok, and I think it was a big disappointment. But the HBO Max sorority, it was supposed to be this big exposure of Alabama sororities and ended up not doing any of that. So I think everyone's interested in Greek life. And I think this again. I mean, legally, Bomb is like, really stereotypical Greek life. [08:33] Dr. Katrina Furey: A lot of girls exercising, like they were depicted exercising constantly. [08:37] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Dieting, dieting. [08:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: They're all skinny, all same body type super cute, but I definitely noticed that too. And I wasn't in a sorority or anything, so I have no idea if that's really what Greek life is like or if that's like a fantasy. Probably a fantasy. [08:52] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it depends. At least I've heard that it also depends where you are, like, if you're in a sorority or fraternity in the Northeast, it is very different than, like, the south. From the south. [09:02] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. [09:02] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Where I don't know. I also was not a participant in Greek life. I know of some people who have had wonderful experiences and some people who have had horrible experiences, and then rumors of, again, some stereotypical things happening with hazing or weight checks and stuff like that. So I don't know. I mean, I think, again, it depends where you go to school and the culture of that specific chapter there in. [09:30] Dr. Katrina Furey: I mean, I liked the Delta News. I loved Elle's. Two little best friends. Again, it's like the comedy. Yes, the one who got banks. But it's a comedy. It's over the top. But I did feel like they were so supportive of her desire to go to law school, and they were helping her study, and they were all so excited when she opened her LSAT envelope. [09:52] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Very lifting her up. [09:54] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, I loved that. And I think also watching it now in this phase of my life, I just connected with her in every step of the way to get to law school, and I was like, this does hearken back to how hard it is to take the MCAs. Like, getting into medical school, finding yourself, a lot of it just made me feel really good. Yeah, exactly. My interviews for medical school were not. [10:17] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: A tape you had to fly right? [10:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: Or go to yeah. Back in the day before Zoom. Yeah. You had to gosh. I mean, I think I took the MCAT twice. It was really hard. I took an MCAT prep class that I won in a raffle. I never would have been able to afford that if I hadn't won in a raffle. And then yeah, you had to fly to each school to interview, and it was really scary. They were really interviewing you and expensive. [10:43] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I mean, expensive to other parts of the country where you might get in and might need to go there or might not. [10:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, it was expensive. I remember for applying for residency, I took up more student loans to be able to afford to fly around to the different places to interview. I mean, on the one hand, it's nice to get an actual feel for the place you're going to be living, the people you're going to be either going to school with or working with. On the other hand, having the Zoom interviews would have saved a ton of money. [11:15] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. [11:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: But I guess you don't really get as much of a feel for culture. No, I couldn't. No, I could. I don't think it would have been really as received as well as at Harvard Law. [11:26] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I did like the scene where it was like eight white males who were looking at her tape and I liked that they were like, let's give it a shot. This is so different. [11:37] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, that never would happen in real life. But I thought they were really playing tongue in cheek in this desire to have a more diverse class. Again, kind of disappointing given how undiverse the movie was. I guess. Just interesting. [11:54] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It was really about, I think, when she got to Harvard, like, being literally blonde. Right? So even at the last scene of the movie when it's that they're all in their caps and gowns. It's like it's spanning everyone and there's like it's just brown hair, brown hair. [12:08] Dr. Katrina Furey: Brown hair, brown hair, blonde. And I loved that Elle Woods had this sense of self confidence and assurance in her own sense of self. [12:17] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, I can do this. What do you mean? I'm going to study hard. And she worked hard and she did. [12:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: Do it, but I was just like, wow. I actually really admired that about her character. And I think you could totally hate this character because she obviously has a lot of privilege, a lot of money, these things. Like, she's not taking out student loans to apply to law school. But you don't hate her, I think, because she's also really kind and sweet and genuine and she is working hard. And I thought all the people around her who were so judgy were just, like, so mean. They're just so mean. [12:50] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And in the context of like, they all also have a lot of money. It's like everyone in the same group. She's the nicest and sweetest and seems really kind and open and she's maybe more wealthy even than they are. But it's not like we're seeing a vast array of socioeconomic. Right? [13:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: We have Warner Huntington II and Vivian Kensington from Connecticut, of course. But yeah, I mean, I think also the currency at Harvard Law is probably intellect in your brain, maybe rather than money. Although probably everyone does have a lot of money for the most part. [13:29] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It comes like legacies and stuff like that. [13:31] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like Warner Huntington II with all of his senator brothers and stuff. But yeah, I mean, that scene where she just gets there and they're going around introducing each other and everyone's like, not even humble bragging, just bragging about all their stuff. I was like, oh, my God. I have been in situations like this where everyone's introducing yourself and you're talking about like, this is what I did, and this is what I did, and this is what I did and it's so uncomfortable. [14:03] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: What is your take with mental health in this movie? [14:09] Dr. Katrina Furey: I guess I'm thinking about mental health. I mean, stress comes to mind. Like the stress of getting into law school and then trying to fit in and trying to succeed. I feel like the dynamic between L and Paulette, played by Jennifer Coolidge, is really sweet. And I almost feel like Paulette draws from Elle's own sense of self assuredness and security to take some major steps in her life, whereas before meeting, they kind of help each other. And I just really liked that. And then I think the sexual harassment with Professor Callahan but what about your take? [14:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was thinking of it in terms of relationships and young relationships transition. So Elle is so convinced that Warner is going to propose to her. [14:58] Dr. Katrina Furey: She's so in love with him and that puppy. [15:01] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Their whole life planned out together, and everyone thinks that it's going to happen. And then he breaks up with her and it's like her whole world, because it is her whole world collapses, turned on its head, and it's like she doesn't know what to do with herself. She's lost. And then she makes this decision, which ultimately is excellent for her, but initially it's just she's following him. I'm going to go to Harvard Law School just to try to get back with my boyfriend kind of a little out there. And not everyone can do that. [15:30] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [15:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But I think that just speaks to being young and lost and how much a breakup can impact you. [15:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, exactly. And I think we see that and maybe some of us have even experienced that in our own lives around that time frame. Like in your early twenty s. I think we talked about this and I can't remember which episode recently, but I think everything everywhere all at once. That time in your life can be so confusing and hard and really emotional because you don't really know what's next. And it sounds like for L, she was so attached to him, admiring him and being his wife and just being 100% supportive of him that she was really devastated when he kicked her to the curb. What did you think about Werner Huntington II? [16:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I just can't stand him. I love that he called. I didn't love it, but like Pooh Bear. And then she saw that he was also calling his ex now fiance. [16:30] Dr. Katrina Furey: Same thing. [16:30] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Pooh Bear. And then he wants her back after she wins the case because she's like enough now for his family. Right. She's like serious. That was kind of her attempt. The whole movie is to be serious and for him to value me. So I think he's just like a narcissist, scummy, entitled, bratty riddle. [16:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, but I think actually portrays some really classic signs of a narcissistic partner exactly like you're describing. Like having the same pet name for each of your girlfriends, like they're interchangeable. And then wanting to go back to the shinier winning object when the other one isn't shining and winning anymore. These are actually really classic signs of someone with narcissistic traits, wouldn't you say? [17:16] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, I think also I would guess and you never want to predict this, but that if he had married Vivian or Elle that he probably would cheat on that with younger assistants, people with. [17:30] Dr. Katrina Furey: Less power, like Professor Callahan. Yeah, exactly. What did you think about that dynamic between L and Professor Callahan? [17:38] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think for such a silly movie, I think it really was an important part and it was serious and it happens. And I think that they portrayed it really well within the comedy context, right. [17:53] Dr. Katrina Furey: Within the context of the movie and the spirit of the movie. [17:57] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then Vivian thinking that that's how she was getting all of these opportunities and she might not have been wrong in another context. And then she's horrified to find out that it was unwanted and then really kind of lets her see L differently and then they kind of become friends. [18:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: I feel like Elle is so forgiving. I don't know if I would have been so buddy buddy with Vivian after everything she did to me. [18:22] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like right. [18:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: Cruel, mean, like with the party. That's what I mean is they they do a good job of depicting all these, like, fancy smarty pants at Harvard. They were so mean to her. Like, everyone was so judgmental. I think I resonated with that because I remember I went to college in Boston and I didn't grow up there. And when I got there, I have this vivid memory portrait of riding the t the subway in Boston wearing like a hot pink skirt and a lime green shirt. Right. I'm like 17, going to college, and everyone else on the subway is in black. And I just remember looking around being. [18:55] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, that's also just like so accurate for New York and Boston. We're drab like northeast, cold, not friendly, wear a lot of black and neutral. [19:08] Dr. Katrina Furey: And I remember getting on the subway, paint my little fair and saying hi to every single person because I come from the south where you say hi to people and everyone's looking at me like, I'm going to ask them for money or I want something from them. I have this vivid core memory of this experience. And so seeing L, like, arrive to Harvard, I was like, yes, that's what it feels like. Luckily, no one ever told me or invited me to a costume party that wasn't a costume party. Like, how embarrassing. [19:35] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So Elle takes it such in stride. [19:37] Dr. Katrina Furey: I know. [19:38] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And she obviously is embarrassed and hurt. And then she's like, okay, well, you know, I look hot. And she did, and you all are lame and I'm going to go talk to Warner in my little bunny outfit. [19:49] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. Then she goes to get her laptop again. I loved the colorful MacBooks, right? Like, I always wanted one of those. [19:57] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I remember in middle school having the big computer lab and they were all clear and you could see in it, and we had game boys that were clear and it was all a clear. [20:08] Dr. Katrina Furey: Those little phones with the cords and. [20:12] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Then the blow up furniture, everything was clear. We want to clear. [20:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: And you could see the inside. Right. I wonder if that appeals to us as therapists. Right. Like, really wanting to see the inside of things, how do these things work and things like that. [20:28] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Weird. Anyway. [20:29] Dr. Katrina Furey: Weird. [20:30] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But so I also, you know, we could talk a little bit about of mental health with Paulete and her ex husband. [20:35] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yes. [20:36] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: He seems with not using therapy words, like kind of an ahole. Yeah, that you're right. [20:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: That is not a diagnostic term. [20:43] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Not, but definitely powerful. Paulette seems, like, intimidated by him when they go to pick up the dog. It's like immediately after being gone for so long, they're back in the same exact dynamic, which feels abusive. [20:57] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. At least emotionally, on the surface, if not worse. [21:01] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And she kind of backs down. And then L comes in with her legal L one jargon, using, like, pulling. [21:08] Dr. Katrina Furey: It anywhere you can. Right. [21:10] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And he gets the dog, and it's great. Yes. And that was really a win for Paulette. But just, again, in a comedy tough scene, though, like, a lot there within this funny context because I'm taking the **** dog. Like, that's an iconic line. But it's like, again, it seems like it's an abusive relationship. Paul seems very scared and disempowered victim in that space. [21:33] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. She's, like, tripping over her words. She's having a hard time making eye contact with him. You can tell she's so nervous. And then, like, Elle comes in again, like, putting on her lawyer hat and using whatever word she can think of to help her. And I feel like that was almost the first time she realized her power. Like, I can do this. I can help someone. And that feels really good. And I think similar to the scenes with Professor Callahan after he comes on to her, this movie does actually a pretty nice job of addressing these really tough, serious topics that do arise in the course of a woman's life really well. [22:11] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. And then, too, this is where it's a little gray. So, Emmett, who's Luke Wilson? He's never her teacher. [22:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. I think he's a third year. [22:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: He writes for the paper. [22:26] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. But then he also seems like maybe a lawyer already. I think he represent her. Maybe he's, like, fresh out of law. [22:35] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: School, and he doesn't clerk. He works for Callahan, and he's just, like, around Harvard, because I think Callahan's, like, firm is probably there. [22:46] Dr. Katrina Furey: Well, I don't know how that works. [22:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But it felt like I think if I'm being really critical, I was maybe. [22:52] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like, there's a little power dynamic there too. Yeah, no, I can see what you're saying, that he's older, he's already employed, he can help her. [23:04] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I didn't see him right. [23:06] Dr. Katrina Furey: I didn't see him take advantage of that. Right. Whereas we see Callahan purposefully knows what he's doing and puts his knee or not his knee, his hand on her knee in an attempt to try to take advantage of her. And again, unfortunately, that happens. And again, for Elle to know that that was wrong and to stick up for herself takes a lot of self confidence when you're in a vulnerable position like that. [23:29] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, because he could cut her right from the internship immediately and mess with her career. [23:35] Dr. Katrina Furey: Exactly. And unfortunately, it does happen. And I thought it was nice to see the other characters sort of come to her defense. I would have liked to see more consequences for Professor Callahan. Didn't seem like there was a whole heck of a lot. [23:53] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And also not surprising, I know tenured probably that's I think a magical word in academia for kind of doing whatever. Great movie. I did want to comment a little bit on. We spoke about it earlier, but a lot of unhelpful gross body stuff, and especially just like the whole court case being around a Delta new sister who didn't want to tell people that she had lipo. [24:26] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right? [24:26] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But she's like this workout guru who can make change a woman's body like that. And Elle's like, I took her class and I lost three pounds, and it's like, hey, you probably were dehydrated after. [24:37] Dr. Katrina Furey: You went from a six to a four. [24:39] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right? So just, again, really appropriate for the times. And we've moved it's, what, 22 years later? I'm not great at math. I'm not good at math. [24:54] Dr. Katrina Furey: I feel like we've moved a little bit in the right direction, but still not that far. And now, especially with, like, Ozempic, I feel like we're sliding back decades. But you're right. I mean, this does depict Brooke, played by Allie Larder, being unwilling to give her ally. [25:10] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: She'd rather go to jail, right, than. [25:12] Dr. Katrina Furey: Lose her reputation and say that she needed liposuction to look the way she. [25:16] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Looks, which is so current. 100% celebrities refuting the fact that they have had plastic surgery, that they're on Ozembic, that they have guests, personal chefs, personal trainers who are at their beck and call 24/7. They're also editing their pictures like it's just like we know that. And I think I talked about this in an earlier episode, but I'm going to bring it up again, because it's interesting is that they've done studies where even if you know that a picture has been edited, like on Instagram, now it'll say edited with blah, blah, blah filter. It doesn't matter in our brain, we still will then compare. We still will feel dissatisfied. So we can take all these steps forward with even acknowledging, okay, I've had work done. If I say that and you still are comparing yourself to me and still feeling dissatisfied, you still feel bad, right? Like, it doesn't matter that, you know, I've had work done, which is just so interesting. [26:07] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, I think also because you still want to look like that and maybe you're even sad that you don't have the means to have the work done right if you wanted to have it. [26:17] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. So, I mean, I think all these companies, Meta, TikTok, Instagram are all trying to do things to help body image. They always have filt leave. You can't say some things online, they block hashtags, they will let you know with a filter. But at the end of the day, it's so hard to it's not about that. It's about changing how we interpret bodies. [26:40] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. What our society thinks is important. [26:42] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Correct. At the inner level, it's like we value beauty, we value thinness, we value wealth, we value all these things that are not attainable for some people, for most people. And that message, though, has been around for so long, and I don't know what it's going to take to have it reduced. [27:03] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, I don't know. And I wonder if I'm sure other cultures, other countries experience this too. [27:08] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Absolutely. [27:09] Dr. Katrina Furey: By the way, we have so many international listeners that if you want to DM us and let us know what it's like in your neck of the woods, that'd be cool. But I'm sure other countries and other cultures face this issue too. But I feel like in America, you're right. We really focus on the Britney Spears body type. Even now. Even now that is like or maybe now it's more the Kardashian body type. But it's still unattainable. Right. The beauty standards are always unattainable. [27:37] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's just hard to police it. There's a creator online who's really controversial. I believe they have come out and said that they have anorexia and they are very emaciated and they do lives and they're known, they're very popular. They have twitch and all that stuff. [27:56] Dr. Katrina Furey: Do you feel comfortable saying who it is or not? [27:58] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it's eugenie. Eugena? Yeah. I mean, I think people know she's very popular and I think also because she's like fascinating because she looks very sick. But it's this moral, I guess, ethical question of, like what she's doing is not illegal. Right? You can't livestream on drugs, you can't livestream doing speeding in a car. You can't livestream naked. Yeah. There's all these things that you can't do that maybe necessarily aren't illegal but are harmful for others to see. So it's really just this ethical question of, like well, her live streaming, I might say, is doing more harm than some other things. But what would you call then? Why isn't she allowed to be in her body broadcasting? Because she's not talking about anything. She's not talking about ed content, she's. [28:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: Not talking about food at all. [28:53] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So it's like is that the reason that it's fine? [28:56] Dr. Katrina Furey: It's a really ethical gray line. [28:59] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But I think bodies continue to be political. And I went to a training where it's like living in a larger body is like being a part of political warfare. And it is. So this movie definitely does not help offer that. Body diversity. [29:18] Dr. Katrina Furey: No, it doesn't. And I noticed that, too, like, right away. And I also think, though, maybe to end on a positive note, the one nice thing it offered was like at the end when she had just been sexually harassed by Professor Callahan, she was going to say goodbye to Paulette. She was really, really tearful, then turns around Professor Stromwell, who was there, like, getting her highlights. And I thought that was kind of like a nice model for her to see that you can be smart and a lawyer and still get your highlights. [29:52] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. [29:52] Dr. Katrina Furey: And when she said, if you're going to let your whole career go for this one, man, you're not who I thought you were. And again, I'm like, well, you were kind of mean to her first, too. You kicked her out. But I guess we can brush that aside. But I thought that was kind of a nice model to show. And I think that is important, maybe, especially for women to embrace that you can have all these different facets of your identity. And I know that's something that I don't know if I'd say I struggle with, I wouldn't use the word struggle, but definitely like this impostor syndrome. When you're at a fancy schmancy institution, you're like, well, can I still wear color or will you take me less seriously? Right. I think we've talked about that with this podcast. I'm a little nervous, like, will people think I'm not as smart or will they laugh at me or as serious or like, I know what I'm talking about. So, in that way, I did really appreciate that part of the movie. [30:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, I think it's great. Again, there's so many lawyers out there who have been inspired by L Woods. [30:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: I wanted to look up the statistics, like, was there a surge in law school admissions afterwards? [31:00] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think a lot of people saw being really feminine in the field and then were able to see themselves. Which is why it's so important, right, to broadcast diversity. Because if you see yourself or somebody who looks like you doing something, you're more likely to do it. [31:13] Dr. Katrina Furey: And so, to wrap up getting back to the Emmys, so Reese Witherspoon has had a really great career. She's played so many diverse roles. She had a career before this, but I do think this really catapulted her star. And now she has her own production company, hello Sunshine, which a couple of those shows, I think the Daisy Jones in the 6th and Tiny Beautiful Things were also nominated for Emmys. And she was saying this was my goal with starting this production company, was to highlight female voices and movies and TV shows from the female perspective. Because I think given in her career, thinking back to that movie Fear with Mark Wahlberg, she's come out and said there was a scene on a roller or a Ferris wheel or something. I don't know if you saw that movie Portia that she was really uncomfortable with, but she didn't feel like she had a voice to say anything. So I think that's really cool that people are again, she has a ton of privilege to be able to do that, but that the people with the privilege are doing it to try to pave the way for future generations. [32:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But stay tuned, because we'll also be covering Reese in the Morning show, which is a serious, more serious role for her. So stay tuned. [32:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, and then we'll see you again next Monday with White Lotus Season two to sort of wrap up our Jennifer Coolidge July.

Today our expert guest is Joel Primus, the founder of and creative visionary behind Naked Boxer Brief. The pitch was simple — underwear so comfortable you can't even feel them — but a lot of people saw it as a risky bet. Mr. Wonderful, one of the hosts of “Dragon's Den,” the Canadian equivalent of “Shark Tank,” called Joel delusional. Now, fast forward 10 years: Joel helped raise more than $17M dollars in funding, established retail distribution with huge global partners, and lead a merger with Australian-based industry powerhouse Bendon before exiting in 2018. His most recent company is Kosan Travel, a clothing company that launched one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns for an apparel product, reaching nearly $1M in sales in 30 days. Part memoir and part entrepreneurial start-up manual, “Getting Naked: The Bare Necessities of Entrepreneurship and Start-ups” wants to take you through the process of scaling the business, building a team, raising money, and even when a founder needs to consider stepping down as CEO — and, at the same time, the book is going to ask questions that challenge you to interrogate yourself and your dream. One of the big problems for a lot of entrepreneurs is that they don't know what questions to ask — they don't know what they don't know — and Joel hopes this book can help guide people to asking better questions so that they can start getting better answers, the answers that Joel wishes he had when he was starting this business from his apartment 12 years ago.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “If we don't pick up the boulder in our lives all the time — that big, heavy, immovable object — then we don't have to carry it. And to try to make sense of that, I looked at my life like what are the boulders in my life that I'm carrying that I don't have to? That I'm trying to move that I don't have to? These things that are completely strenuous, crushing me... what if I just didn't pick it up?”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

I was scheduled for a final year interview but at the very last minute - it didn't happen, so this is an adlib broadcast which asks us to become mindful of that which surrounds us and to become conscious of the force that sustains our being. In today's broadcast I remind us that: Earth. A biosphere.A complex - subtly balancedLife - support - system. Et turtur nidum,Ubi reponat pullos suosAltaria tua Domine virtutum,Rex meus, et Deus meus (You will understand the above when you listen to the broadcast.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfHXfy9Fs5E  Greetings to you all, from GreenplanetFM.com here in Nuclear Free New Zealand - and nearly GE & GMO Free NZ* - situated little over over 2000, kilometres from Australia in the South West Pacific Ocean and only 2.600 kilometres from the South Pole and the last major country to be colonised as well. So here we are in many ways isolated from the rest of our global kin. And what a year it was - and note … There is so much possibility … even in these tumultuous times and believe me - we can initiate conscious change and this opportunity is going to unfold all through this decade starting in early 2021 next year - that we are a global family awakening into being - but I am getting ahead of myself. So Kia ora and a warm hello to you dear breathers of the one breath that envelops our magnificent biosphere and home planet - mother earth - our great sustainer … Trusting that I find you warmly inner resourced, that at heart you are able to feel grounded and still. Being able to remain focussed yet fluid in your response to the winds of change buffeting the collective consciousness of the 7.8 billion of humanity - sharing the invisible breath at this moment. 2020 - sure has brought our perspective and vision into focus as humanity dealing with fragmentation and disfunction to realise the imperative that we have to come together as a species and a global family - because looking in at the earth from outer space - that is how we are being seen. We have to raise the platform of our viewpoint like that of the astronauts who journeyed to the moon 50 years ago. Remember what they said - we live on a floating blue and white pearl surrounded by the so-called emptiness of space. It’s home for us all. So every morning as our planet turns and the suns rays kiss the faces of us emerging from our sleep to engage in our daily tasks - as Mothers engage in caring for their babies and children and fathers go out working to bring in the cash for another day - (sorry about the stereotype) we must ask that there has to be something better for children for today and tomorrow - as we learn that every breath we take comes from the plankton of our oceans and trees and forests and grasslands of the vegetable kingdom of our biosphere. We also have to be grateful that it’s our planet that lends us bodies in which to live. This is so profound that Mother earth lends us our body, yes … and it’s our planet that lends us free air to breathe and free rainwater to drink and until recently a free food chain in which to eat and nourish our being … That we are taking in the three elements of air, water and the earth in the form of minerals - that there is also the 4th element and that is that of fire - and the sun which our planet orbits annually has another name - the Latin word - Sol - so there is an extension of light and fullness that shines 24/7/365 for millennia and eons - thus showing us that there is so much majesty in this world - that we have found ourselves surrounded in literally a garden paradise that to some remind us of a long distant mystery and story that we were once in another garden - one that was absent of anything that was not positive, optimistic of light and love … So in recognising ourselves - we are one species of many colours, creeds & cultures that for millennia has slowly evolved from tribalism to city states, to nations and empires … and now we are in need of both a change of heart to unity consciousness to jump the divide and realise that we are all intrinsically connected - as a planetary species. However … that to be conditioned and homogenised by the present global institutions (MSM) into the same swamp of sameness is not the answer to a free spirit. Remember we in Aotearoa NZ we used to have an educational system that encourages us to ask questions, and to be curious, to wonder. This goes back to the earlier times because NZ is an extension of the British education system which in many ways itself was founded on ancient Greek thought and knowledge, and I wish to focus here for a moment as I had the good fortune to go to Greece last year. Ancient Greece For such a small gene pool, the Greeks made very important contributions to life, especially philosophy, because Greek philosophers were "seekers and lovers of wisdom". They studied and analyzed the world around them using logic and reason. Although we often think of philosophy as religion or "the meaning of life", the Greek philosophers were also scientists, they studied the makeup of both nature and matter. They were also adept at mathematics and physics; they brought us the word atom - plus geometry, astronomy, and medicine, extending into anatomy, athletics and of course the Olympic Games . ... The Greeks were known for their drama and plays in their amphitheatres as well as sophisticated sculpture and architecture as well. More so, it was the birthplace of Democracy - and yes, they had slaves as well. Possibly one third of the population were slaves. The Greek culture influenced the Roman Empire and many other civilizations, and it continues to influence modern cultures even today. Note that the Greeks did not descend into the Roman darkness of humans killing humans in the Coliseum. Aotearoan NZ Maori However one of my main reasons for going to Greece, which was my third time, was that I have been a student of our living planet for 38 years, and it was the early Greeks who understood this - and they called her Gaia, the Earth mother - that’s over two and half thousand years ago and I wanted to see if their understanding, was similar to the Aotearoa New Zealand Maori - who here in this country have a very sacred connection to the earth - calling her - Papatuanuku. Recently, they have successfully engaged and secured the NZ Government to recognise a river, the Whanganui River (awa) as being a living entity that is embedded in the landscape of this country. Having a catchment area of 7,308 square kilometres. Furthermore, Maori have also worked with the New Zealand Government to have them bequeath, due to its geographical isolation Te Urewera of Tuhoi, the regional tribe or iwi - a national park that is essentially all forest that covers 2,127 square kilometres in size. Bestowing on this land to be a legal entity that has the rights, powers, duties and liabilities of a legal person. These are world firsts … Having lived near on 72 years of my life in New Zealand - hanging out on the underside of the curvature of our planet, and spending 17 years as Air NZ flight crew flying from the Southern Hemisphere up over the equator into the northern Hemisphere - I had also spent time with Dr Elisabet Sahtouris - who is a geo biologist (among many of her other scientific attributes) and she has studied our planet as a super organism - but I have also had the good fortune to interview Dr James Lovelock - a polymath, who through his research with NASA, the US Space Program - gave us a hypothesis that is now a theory - that our planet is a colossal living superorganism. That, in so many ways, has birthed life and as the ancient Greeks say - “from her - all things have issued.” And so I landed in Athens and set out walking to breathe in the magnificence of this ancient city and see the ordered splendour that they endowed to their civilisation. Yet, with one thing ticking over in my being - how did they come to an understanding that our planet was a living being? Then it hit me … A cat has kittens, a dog has puppies, a cow has a calf, a sheep has a lamb and a goat has a kid. Also, a bear has a cub and a horse has a foal … and they all come from a Mother. Then when I looked around me - in the street - I saw all of these people - men, and women, elderly, and teenagers and children - and they too - all came from a mother … so then the Greeks must have looked at their navel and their belly button and remembered that this is where they were connected to their mother, their grandmother and great grandmother …and in their mind traced back through the family tree and finally they must have deduced that in the mists of time - somehow, somewhere - their bodies must have come from mother earth - because - as in the introduction of this program I mentioned that we are made of the 3 main elements with the sun representing fire to show the four forces of nature. Now when I relate this to the Aotearoan Maori - a great many of them revere Papatuanuku. Quite astounding really - because when in their company all I have to do is mention Papatuanuku in a context of food, water, wind, fish whatever - I manage to get their focussed attention and a wonderful conversation ensues. And to anyone who understands Maori Lore - the belly button and umbilical cord to them is one of the most sacred connections they have back to source. They call it Whakapapa. Maori who have an oral language - have another unique way of singing their connection to source and so they sing their lineage - or bloodline to their babies - pe`pi and children, tamariki - that by the time the baby is 4 or 5 they know their lineage perfectly - completely and this takes them back via the 7 canoes, their waka that they sailed a thousand years ago - from Hawaiki - their mystical departure place within the Pacific ocean - (moana) and at a very basic level - they have a greater sense of belonging and a connection to a/the source. So this was part of my journey into Greece. I also visited Delphi - where the oracle was a very significant part of how the Greeks divined the future - This is where the rounded temple of Athena sat with the rectangular temple of Apollo. Two very different structures. Also, Delphi is known as the navel of the world - the navel of Gaia, such were the clairvoyants of that day able to see clearly - and for a certain amount of time - they nearly brought about a golden age - one that talks of Pericles and Athens. Also over a very small aperture of time so many great beings incarnated into the small Greek landmass that also straddled Western Turkey where the splendour of the 2nd Acropolis only to Athens was built at Pergamon during the Hellenic period and just 170 kilometres further south is the ruins of the once majestic splendour of Ephesus and one of the 7 Wonders of the World - the Temple of Artemis and the Sacred Feminine. Note the ancients knew about subtle energy. Our planet has energy lines and nodal points just like with acupuncture meridians. The British called them Ley Lines - Stonehenge, Glastonbury, the Great Pyramids of Egypt and many Cathedrals of Europe are situated along these Universal Lines of Invisible Force. They are in all countries, here in NZ too, right in Auckland. I would like to finish this little Greek, Maori discourse by mentioning Pythagoras one of the more mystical philosophers of ancient times when it is purported that when we sit really still and are in a quiet meditative state - we can hear the music of the spheres and the planets all spinning. For it was he who originally intuited that our planet was round. That some planets are larger than others - and all spin and hum to a series of musical notes - and thus when sitting and listening to all these planets are part of a musical sound system - a symphony if you will … that we still today are not aware of. We are beings of this planet awakening to a higher consciousness So here we are today living on our magnificent turning, living world atlas - of 4 seasons - that every 6 months tilts away from the sun until 182 days later - incomprehensibly turn back to another season of warmth and light - all in ordered splendour - whilst below on the planet floor and at sea level, the vegetable, animal and human kingdoms draw sustenance from the 4 elements of earth, water, air and fire that keeps all species proliferating whilst hidden within the web of life, our planet’s mysterious temperature thermostat embed in the atmosphere and connected to countless other physical conditions keeps this giant super organism in stasis - and balance - enabling all life to magnificently stay homeostatically alive in relationship to a tightly coupled sublime - life support system. So yes … we have to reconfigure our consciousness - our awareness of who we are … for there is a saying that the purpose for existence is to find out the purpose for existence … as to who we are - and that we are spiritual beings having an earth experience - here to fulfill our need to live gracefully as a global family awakening to our unknown potential, whilst in a world that is heaving in anxiety and un-fulfillment. The Awakening Earth This is our time and our incarnation to divine who we are and look within - knowing that we are surrounded in all 6 directions by infinity, coiling with suns through deep dimensions of time. It’s also our time to storm the inner self and recognise that we have been like dormant seeds nested under the ground and being like Gods of limitation, awaiting a new metaphor for ascension and to now burst out of our dark cocoon of unknowingness into the sunlight of a totally new day. Even more so - to ignite our innermost expression as embryo Gods and realise that every baby born into this realm is an energy bundle of exponential potential and love. If there is one thing that we’ve learned from global mainstream media is we’ve been conditioned and desensitised at the same time - being boxed into something like a self-limiting 6 sided cube or more precisely a rectangle - when at soul level we need to increase and extend our aura of consciousness that surrounds us all - to that of the fullness of an expanding sphere and see more degrees of arc and dimensionally as well … with 360 degrees of perspective in every direction, both horizontally and vertically. Pushing out the barriers. As we simultaneously - look deeply within as well. Sure - from our first breath in this lifetime we came in full of passion and imagination … our aim … extend the invisible envelope that surrounds our being … our auric field.   But, that was for many of us during the last century - now we are realising that life for us is potent and full of possibilities … Now today, with instantaneous connection to nearly every human on earth we are only a moment away from a family smile and of a loved one - we are only a couple of degrees of separation and the way forward is to share the good and to spread that which will empower us as we realise our connection to 7.8 billion other possibilities - all endeavoring to find their way in life, where we can grow into the light of our own true self. https://www.ourplanet.org/original-site/gaia.html  “Remember - when you were young … you shined like the sun - Shine on you crazy diamond …” Roger Waters of Pink Floyd when he once happily wrote ‘Wish you were here’ THAT YES, we do need to learn much, more about inner discipline and what that signifies and even more about loving our neighbour. Also, to remember our roots as sovereign beings yet realise that we are all neighbours and that goodwill has to flow over all borders in the spirit of cooperation and collaboration. One planet - one earth - from the grass roots up! ADDENDUM: You may wonder why there is no ‘recent’ emphasis on Climate Change and especially the so-called driver Global Warming on the front page of this web site. Well, originally when I started broadcasting in late 2003 I was very keen to be the Global Warming radio program for NZ. Those who remember will be aware that in 2006 icebergs could be seen from the eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island, even from the hills around Christchurch. However, we have had no such increase in icebergs since then. https://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/11/25/iceberg.newzealand/index.html  Yes - the glaciers in NZ’s Southern Alps are still receding and melting, the waters around the NZ coastline are warming especially in summer and as I always finish my hot shower with a cold shower every time I bathe - I notice especially this year that the water is not really cold but nearly lukewarm, because the water pipes that are in the ground coming to my home are showing that the ground is definitely warming. These three pointers are very serious. However, in this radio program, I call out that there are two other very problematic situations affecting the atmospheric envelope that surrounds our planet. These are geoengineering that includes solar radiation management, or SRM, ... SRM techniques include stratospheric aerosols, reflective ... composed of metallic aluminum, aluminum oxide and barium titanate and strontium. The other, is the use of electronic manipulation of the ionosphere by transmitting radio waves up into the atmosphere. It’s also called Weather wars and Frequency wars and also known as HAARP frequencies. The US is definitely doing this so are China and Russia. This is very serious - however you will never get Ecologists and Environmentalists to sit down and go through the science of what is happening with these two terrible technologies that have been forced upon us - the human species. As for academics and intellectuals in our universities - their job seems to come before any other moral or ethical considerations. https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/ These two subjects are covered by this radio program and you can access them by looking at the ’slider’ on the front page. This state of affairs is a very sad and serious indictment by those in power and until ‘the swamp’ in the higher echelons of Governments globally, are collectively ‘drained’ - these deceitful and insidious acts will continue to the detriment of the biosphere, all biota and especially our children of today and tomorrow. I played this wonderful song: Lost in a Lost WorldThe Moody Blues Seventh Sojourn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80nUhHofw0U I woke up today, I was cryingLost in a lost world'Cause so many people are dyingLost in a lost worldSome of them are living an illusionBounded by the darkness of their mindsIn their eyes it's nation against nation, against nationWith racial pride sad hearts they hideThinking only of themselvesThey shun the light (Some of them shun the light)They think they're right (Some of them think they're right)Living in their empty shells (Some live in their empty shells)Oh, can you see their world is crashing?

I wish to exhort and implore you to take some time out to play this below video. Because, what is happening is that the controllers of the City of London are endeavouring to lock down all of the disunited Kingdom as they see that Trump in America is slowly and methodically taking down the Deep State in Washington DC and it will not be long before he crosses the Atlantic and takes on the England and the EU - and drains the corruption there too. Check 27 minutes in and 40 minutes as well - but please take your valuable time to become savvy of the distortions that we are living around. https://www.ukcolumn.org/ukcolumn-news/uk-column-news-christmas-special-review-year  I finished by calling All Crew of Spaceship Earth to ‘action stations.’ That we have to take care of the ships embedded operating systems like air conditioning, refrigeration, water and food producing facilities and that in the days and years ahead ‘Unity Consciousness’ is the only way we can take care of today and tomorrow. Meantime we at GreenplanetFM, wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and especially 2021 - because, we will have much to do to freely live as hearted centered beings - navigating time and space.

Business is Boring is a weekly podcast series presented by The Spinoff in association with Callaghan Innovation. Host Simon Pound speaks with innovators and commentators focused on the future of New Zealand, with the interview available as both audio and a transcribed excerpt. This week he talks to Sue Dunmore, co-founder of Rose & Thorne.A couple of decades ago there was a big lingerie industry here in NZ, but in 2010 Bendon made the call to pull the last of their NZ operations out , and the design jobs left New Zealand.This moment left the head of design and a past CEO wondering if there might be a way to make a different kind of bra company, designed here, and based more on fit than trends, where they could match affordability with comfort. These weren’t the first time that these thoughts were had in the industry, but when these people went for affordable, they meant it. Bras that can be bewilderingly expensive, but their first big customer was the Warehouse, where they sold for $25. Since their start they’ve expanded to retail, international sales and have sold something in the region of a million bras.To talk the journey, turning a lost job into a multimillion dollar opportunity and what’s next, Rose & Thorne co-founder and Managing Director Sue Dunmore joins me now.
