Who knew?!! Well, apparently, senior correspondent for CBS News Norah O'Donnell did. In her book, We the Women: The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America, the stories of many unknown — and some well-known — are brought to the surface. The story of the U.S. is reshaped through what she uncovered. Written with Kate Anderson Brower, who joined us for the episode, Norah and WE THE WOMEN will change the way you think about the past — and the future. P.S. Norah is good friends with my college fave, Sarah (Ogilvie) Saint-Amand.

A funeral director turned therapist on meaning-making, unfinished business, and why grief needs more truth and less cheerleading. Ready for a life-affirming episode about death? I'm excited to introduce you to my longtime friend Rachel Hauck. She's a funeral director and embalmer. After 20 years in business, she's decided to go back to school to become a therapist. I love chatting with people who are in midlife career shifts. Why did she make the switch? How will her previous career shape her identity as a therapist?  What sets this conversation apart from the hushed, almost embarrassed way folks often talk about death is our openness around its emotional messiness. We go beyond Kübler-Ross's model to consider those carrying complex or "untraditional" feelings of grief (think: Jeanette McCurdy). All experiences are welcome here.  GUEST BIO Rachel Hauck (she/her) has served families as a licensed funeral director/embalmer in the state of Florida for the last 20 years.  She is currently completing a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Nova Southeastern University and hopes to develop a signature program in prolonged grief therapy.  Join our Authentic Leaders Group! Next cohort starts May 1, 2026. This is a journey of self-discovery and leadership mastery, where you'll not only enhance your leadership skills but also forge meaningful connections with fellow therapists who are committed to their own growth and the betterment of the therapy field. Apply now! Thank you to The Therapist Network for sponsoring the show! The Therapist Network is a global community built by and for therapists. You'll find live consult groups, an ever-growing library of workshops and courses, plus a community that really sees you. Sarah's group, Tending to the Wounded Healer, meets every other Monday from 1–2pm CT, and it's a space to explore the intersection of your lived experience and your clinical work.

Loon Comrades! You know this couldn't be a book podcast if I only gave you an episode on the Heated Rivalry show. Today, I'm talking about Heated Rivalry: the book by Rachel Reid with my certified Local Gay Icon™  friend, Braun, who says both the show and the book changed his life, and his perspective on the possibilities of queer media. We squeal over Shane, Ilya, Scott, and Kip; pitch some fanfic ideas featuring a surprise guest we're both a fan of; and talk about how the book differs from the show (and which one we like better). Also, stick around to the end to listen to us convince you to run for local office! Connect with Braun: Instagram Fated States Oath (local political donation)   Subscribe! Follow! Rate! Review!

What if your next STEM lesson started with a 65‑foot whale and a beach cleanup scavenger hunt?For 25 years, Blue Ocean Society has been quietly protecting whales and marine life right in our New England “backyard.” In this ocean-focused episode, Dr. Diane talks with co-founder and executive director Jen Kennedy about how long-term whale research, monthly beach cleanups, and joyful, hands-on education invite kids (and adults) to learn through play while caring for the Gulf of Maine.Jen shares how photo-ID lets them follow individual whales like Pinball and Little Spot over decades, and what threats like entanglement, vessel strikes, warming waters, and shifting prey mean for species such as the North Atlantic right whale. You'll hear how Blue Ocean Society turns data collection into citizen science, trash into art, and curiosity into real-world STEM/STEAM experiences—through their inflatable fin whale, microplastics toolkits, marine-debris art projects, and kid-friendly “scavenger hunt” cleanups.If you love whales, teach STEM/STEAM, or want playful, hopeful ways to connect curiosity, conservation, and hands-on learning, this adventure is for you.Chapters:02:11 – From whale intern to co-founder: the Blue Ocean Society story04:00 – Falling in love with whales, photo-ID, Pinball & Little Spot06:29 – Threats to whales: entanglement, vessels & a warming Gulf of Maine08:20 – Learning through play: inflatable whales, school programs & touch tanks09:46 – Beach cleanups & turning data into action12:36 – Microplastics, foam fragments & upstream choices families can make15:32 – Citizen science: Marine Debris Tracker, microplastics toolkits & kids as scientists20:49 – Dream research cruises, hidden whales & what still excites Jen22:39 – Joy, resilience & favorite whale facts 26:23 – How to donate, volunteer, adopt a whale & what gives Jen hopeLinksBlue Ocean Society Sign up for 2026 Blue Ocean SymposiumFollow on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedInCall to ActionReady to turn whale wonder into hands-on learning?Choose one single-use item to swap for a reusable option this week and invite your learners to do the same.Plan a “scavenger hunt” cleanup at your schoolyard, park, or local shoreline, and treat it like a STEM investigation.Support the showShare this episode If this conversation sparked wonder, gave you a helpful strategy, or offered a needed reminder of hope, please share it with a friend or colleague.

We have all heard the adage that history repeats itself. It's usually used as a warning to take heed of the things that are going wrong so that they do not happen again. But from the standpoint of the law of attraction, what we focus on grows, and it's not so much that history repeats, but that we are continually re-creating it based on our interpretations of the past and what we have been conditioned to expect in the future. In this episode, we explore these seemingly repeating patterns in our lives and in the collective, and how we can learn to shift our focus and responses to create a better future moving forward. This is a conversation about awareness, intuition, and learning to respond from love rather than fear, because the future isn't fixed and every moment gives us a chance to choose differently.

The team returns after the launch of Paul's new book, The AI Ready Human, and this time Matt plays the role of interviewer! In this episode Matt and Paul discuss the book's core framework: the “Magnificent Seven” stacked capabilities—readiness, organization, control, balance, motivation, resilience, and adaptability—created in response to programs that treat AI only as a tool and overemphasize prompt engineering.The explore how to truly create evergreen skills in a world that is ever changing, and how to manage a form of AI that feels neither particularly artificial or intelligent.They explore concerns about AI training on mixed-quality internet data, the possibility of moving from broad AI to narrower, task-specific systems, and the accelerating growth of AI-generated content. And they look at how the themes from the book have broader applicability to work and life.Resources mentioned in this episode:The AI-Ready Human on AmazonThe AI-Ready Human on Barnes and NobleThe AI-Ready Human on (the awesome) Bookshop.orgA Signed Hardback Copy of The AI-Ready Human00:00 Show Returns and Book Launch01:00 Special Episode Setup02:29 Why 90 Days Format05:48 Magnificent Seven Skills06:25 Beyond Prompt Engineering11:50 Evergreen Yet Changing14:32 Maestro Leadership Metaphor20:40 AI as Unreliable Teammate25:02 Bias Data and Narrow AI31:15 Ethics and authorship32:28 AI content flood34:42 AI traps and trust36:52 Context and memory41:41 Naming your AIs45:41 Confidence and hallucinations47:05 Autonomy mastery purpose49:23 Rebuilding mastery at work53:28 Adapting your human role57:07 Wrap up and next topicsHumanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations be ready for the future of work by maximizing their human potential.For more information, and access to our weekly newsletter, visit us at humanityworking.net.

Progressivism struggles with a never ending pendulum swing between Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian impulses, bringing us to our current problem of inaction. Author Mark Dunkelman in his book, "Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—and How to Bring It Back", explains the origins of American progressivism as a response to the upheaval created by railroads and national-scale economic power, outlining these two competing impulses within the movement: the Jeffersonian push to break up big institutions and return power to smaller, local actors, and a Hamiltonian push to build strong public institutions capable of regulating large private entities. The discussion traces how the U.S. shifted toward large-scale governance in the New Deal and mid-20th century, then swung back in the 1960s–1970s as public trust eroded due to environmental damage, highways cutting through communities, urban renewal, Vietnam, and Watergate, leading to layered legal and procedural checks that can fragment decision-making and make it difficult for governments to act quickly. Dunkelman describes how the judiciary's role changed over time and argues that today's system resembles a “tragedy of the commons in reverse,” where widespread veto points prevent collective action. Show Notes:Further Reading: Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago, 1919-1939 by Lizabeth CohenSaving America's Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America by Lizabeth CohenCadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water by Marc ReisnerFind each on our Policy book list at https://bookshop.org/lists/theory-policy-historyTo help support the show, pick up a copy of the book through our Bookshop page at https://bookshop.org/shop/bookedonplanning or get a copy through your local bookstore!To view the show transcripts, click on the episode at https://bookedonplanning.buzzsprout.com/ Follow us on social media for more content related to each episode:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/booked-on-planning/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BookedPlanningFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonplanningInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookedonplanning/

She breaks down three common lies (performing growth instead of doing it, living in “someday,” and performing for an audience) and offers steps to get honest: a reality-check person, a calendar/bank audit, and saying the true thing out loud.

Lily Zheng, Fixing Fairness Lily Zheng is a sought-after speaker, strategist, and organizational consultant who specializes in hands-on systemic change to turn positive intentions into positive outcomes for workplaces and everyone in them. A dedicated changemaker and advocate, Lily has had their work published in the Harvard Business Review, New York Times, and NPR. They are the author of Fixing Fairness: 4 Tenets to Transform Diversity Backlash into Progress for All (Amazon, Bookshop)*. When it comes to fairness in the workplace, our society is quick to zero in on what divides us. Yet, there is broad agreement across all demographics on many key principles. In this conversation, Lily and I explore how leaders can influence the system to better work for everyone. Key Points Many of us assume that fewer people support the value of diversity than actually do. When asked, 82% of people support pro-diversity statements. The most popular/traditional approaches to fixing fairness in the workplace tend to be the least effective. Our tendency is to focus on the behavior of individuals, when in fact organizational systems have the most significant impact on fairness. When considering a fairness initiative or intervention, begin with the practice of understanding and storytelling, just like many change initiatives. Resist the temptation to check boxes with “quick fixes” such as simply bringing in a speaker or hosting a one-time event. This rarely helps in any sustainable way and sometimes worsens existing dynamics. If you have a seat at the leadership table, make the case for thoughtful design and involvement of stakeholders at all points in the process, just as many effective organizations do on any strategic change initiative.

Sometimes you just click with someone. By the end of my in-person interview with Israeli poet Rachel Tzvia Back, we were hugging — having laughed, cried, and truly connected in just 30 minutes. Why? Because she's awesome, yes, but also because her memoir, The Dark-Robed Mother, is so intimate, vulnerable, and beautiful that it would endear her to anyone. It's funny and hopeful, dark and poignant. It also portrays what happens to those who love you when you go through something no one can fix. This is why I do my podcast. For moments like this.

How can you go from crying to fine in ten minutes? Why does it feel like the first feeling never even happened once it's gone? In episode #72 Why Do My Feelings Change So Fast With ADHD & AuDHD? I go over how fast feelings shift in ADHD and AuDHD through Emotional Self-Monitoring (Thomas E. Brown's executive function model) and Impaired Hindsight (Russell Barkley). I get into how ADHD affects tracking feelings over time, how attention changes what feels most true in the moment, and why it can be hard to recall how intense a feeling was once it passes. You'll hear language for describing fast switching in relationships and daily life, plus a clear way to explain to others: "That felt true earlier, and this feels true now."

In this episode of The Growing Readers Podcast, host Bianca Schulze welcomes New York Times bestselling author Sara Pennypacker to discuss her powerful new historical novel, The Lions' Run. Sara shares how her father's experience as a teenage POW in a German prison camp during World War II influenced the story—and how a little-known Nazi program called the Lebensborn became the emotional trigger that set her empathetic orphan hero, Lucas, into action.From redefining what courage looks like for young readers to trusting kids with big, complicated questions about justice and resistance, Sara reveals why empathy is the true root of all bravery, how Joseph Campbell's storytelling wisdom shaped a pivotal cherry strudel scene, and why Jon Klassen's breathtaking cover art inspired her to go back and make the book even better.Whether you're a parent looking for meaningful middle grade historical fiction, an educator exploring WWII through a fresh lens, or a fan of Pax eager to see what Sara does next, this conversation is a moving celebration of quiet heroism and the enduring power of story.Read the transcript on ⁠The Children's Book Review (coming soon)⁠.Highlights:The Epigraph That Says It All: Why an African proverb about elephants and grass perfectly captures the heart of the bookThe Lebensborn Program: The little-known Nazi eugenics program that inspired the story—and why Sara felt compelled to bring it to light for kidsEmpathy as Courage: Why Lucas was never really a coward, and why Sara believes true bravery always begins with caring about someone other than yourselfThe Termite Theory: How many small, quiet acts of resistance—not one loud heroic moment—can take down something enormousCherry Strudel and Joseph Campbell: How the antagonist's own power gets turned against her in one of the most satisfying scenes in the bookJon Klassen's Cover: How seeing the finished art sent Sara back to her manuscript for one final, vibe-elevating revisionBig Cheese Preview: A sneak peek at Sara's next book—and why she's finally giving a child character all the powerNotable Quotes:"The true root of all courage is empathy. You have to care enough about someone other than yourself to go into some kind of action." —Sara Pennypacker"No matter what you are resisting, you are not alone.

Join the dialogue - text your questions, insights, and feedback to The Dignity Lab podcast.In this episode, Jennifer explores the universal needs that underpin human dignity and healing after harm. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing and understanding these needs, both for oneself and in relationships with others. The conversation delves into the impact of dignity violations, the collective nature of needs, and the role of nonviolent communication in fostering understanding and compassion. Jennifer encourages listeners to reflect on their own needs and how they relate to their experiences of harm and healing.TakeawaysUnderstanding universal needs can aid in healing after harm.Dignity violations occur when needs are ignored or dismissed.Reclaiming our needs is an act of integrity, not selfishness.Needs are not demands; they are essential for our well-being.The language of needs can help us navigate relationships.Dignity is inherent and can be bruised by unmet needs.Collective needs must be recognized in communication.Ignoring higher needs dehumanizes individuals.Understanding needs fosters compassion and accountability.Reflecting on unmet needs can guide healing strategies.Exploring what it means to live and lead with dignity at work, in our families, in our communities, and in the world. What is dignity? How can we honor the dignity of others? And how can we repair and reclaim our dignity after harm? Tune in to hear stories about violations of dignity and ways in which we heal, forgive, and make choices about how we show up in a chaotic and fractured world.

We'll hear how ICE agents' own family members describe them as low-IQ bullies chasing signing bonuses, why a former white nationalist explains that the alternative to unpacking discomfort is becoming overtly racist, how incel culture evolved from lonely forums into a MAGA recruitment tool, and what researchers found about why men socialized to equate violence with manhood end up joining state-sanctioned death squads.

Send a textWomen's Power to Heal Mother Earth by Maya TiwariMaya Tiwari's discourse emphasizes the urgent need for individual and collective awakeningamid the interconnected global crises impacting humanity and the planet. These crises include climate change, poverty, hunger, political instability, inequality, healthcare and education deficits, the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and potential pandemics. However, beyond these visible issues lies a more insidious challenge: the shadowy consolidation of global control through a digital framework, particularly under the 2030 global agenda, which threatens humanity's identity, freedom, and sovereignty.Key InsightsInformation Overload and Distraction: The rapid flow of overwhelming information surpasses human nervous system capacity, leading to distraction rather than empowerment. Media sensationalism and staged political conflicts serve as deliberate distractions, diverting attention from the covert construction of a “digital cage”restricting freedoms.Manipulation Strategies of Power Structures: Power elites use secrecy, fear, and controlled narratives to maintain dominance: Influence is traded via secrecy. Status operates as currency. Fear buys silence. Gatekeepers control access and outcomes. These strategies induce polarization, emotional manipulation, and social fragmentation, preventing structural clarity and true justice.The Role of Awakening: The antidote to this manipulation is awakening—an inner shift that strengthens one's mental clarity and emotional resilience. By recognizing and understanding control patterns, individuals can protect their personal frequency from being poisoned and reclaim their power to heal and transform.Humanity's Collective Power: Despite external chaos and power struggles, the collective human consciousness is emerging from complacency. The breakdown of old unspoken agreements that protected entrenched power is creating an opportunity for new justice founded on awareness, presence, and collective governance.Thematic HighlightsThe world's crises are interconnected and multilayered, requiring not only systemic change but deep personal transformation.The real battle is hidden behind everyday distractions, with powerful forces orchestrating a staged sequence to maintain control.Truth is deliberately warped and weaponized to create tribalism and confusion, hindering unified responses.Safety and justice do not come from authority but from individual and collective awakening, reclaiming sovereignty through understanding and presence.Healing the Earth and humanity begins with reclaimingSupport the showMay Peace Be Your Journey: Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self- tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Mothermaya@gmail.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

Our fascinating discussion with Dr. Andrea McKenzie continues in this episode. We returned to making connections between living through war and living through the Covid-19 pandemic. We discussed the extraordinary Red Cross and nursing work taken on by the young women of Rilla of Ingleside, and Andrea teaches us about what would have happened to the young women who took on so many new roles during the war once the men returned home.  If you want even more of Andrea's expertise, check out the absolute goldmine of information on the L.M. Montgomery Readathon Facebook Page.   Inspired by: Kelly is inspired by the Red Cross and recommends donating to either the International Red Cross or your national chapter like the American Red Cross or the Canadian Red Cross.

We're getting close to the end of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, which, for those of us based in Milano, means there are some slim pickings for events to see. That doesn't matter though. Jill went to IOC president Kirsty Coventry's end-of-Games press conference, and walked away with something she never thought she'd get her hands on. Alison went to ice hockey and saw the set up for what will be some fantastic medal matches. Meanwhile, Jill went to the last night of short track speed skating, where TKFLASTANI Corinne Stoddard rose from several disappointing finishes to land on the podium.

This Book Made Me Think of You, an instant USA Today Bestseller by top UK author Libby Page, is an ode to bookstores, an ode to love, and an ode to the power of books to get us through anything. Libby came to my home and stayed for lunch when she was in town from the U.K. We could've talked about books forever. I don't know what was cuter — the book or the purse she brought with her, shaped like the front of an old-fashioned bookstore.Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Check out the Z.I.P. membership program—Zibby's Important People!

M.E. Torrey - Author of "Fox Creek," a historical novel exploring slavery in the antebellum SouthIn this powerful 51-minute conversation, author M.E. Torrey discusses her critically acclaimed novel "Fox Creek," which confronts the whitewashed narratives of plantation history. Torrey shares her journey from writing children's books to tackling one of America's most difficult historical periods, and why honest conversations about race and history are more important than ever.The Genesis of Fox CreekTorrey's eye-opening visit to Louisiana plantations in the 1990sEncountering tours that completely omitted slave narrativesThree years of intensive research before writing the first sentenceThe challenge of finding authentic slave narratives vs. abundant plantation owner recordsResearch RevelationsThe shocking diaries of James Henry Hammond (Governor of South Carolina) and Bennett BarrowHow "ordinary people" justified extraordinary harmThe concept of willful blindness among slave owners who considered themselves good peopleThe FDR Writers Project interviews with ex-slaves from the 1930sWriting ApproachDeliberately avoiding author judgment to create moral complexityUsing "silence" as a literary device, especially for enslaved charactersCrossing white and Black narratives to tell a complete storyThe most difficult scene to write: sexual abuseContemporary RelevanceWhy white people need to see themselves in slave owner charactersThe importance of owning history without guilt or defensivenessHow forgiveness and love are essential to healingThe loss of community in modern AmericaParallels to current social justice movementsPersonal ReflectionsGrowing up in integrated military schools in EuropeThe bubble of racial harmony vs. American realityTransition from children's book author to adult historical fictionRedefining success from financial to relational and spiritual"I would never have owned a slave" - white people do an injustice when they say this because they were ordinary people, and horrific things are happening even today by people because society says it's okay.""I have never, to my knowledge, done any wrong to any human being in my life" - Governor James Henry Hammond, despite a diary full of documented abuses"The lesson that we bring from the past is a lesson of forgiveness... this world will not get healed without being kind and loving one another."Title: Fox CreekAuthor: M.E.

In today's episode, I dive into why competitive alternatives—not problems or future visions—are the right place to start a positioning exercise. I explain how different teams inside a company misunderstand competition in predictable ways, and why positioning must focus only on who shows up on customer shortlists right now. I also share how my thinking on this step has evolved since the first edition of my book, Obviously Awesome, and why getting this step wrong makes every other positioning decision harder.You will learn: (03:26) How competitive alternatives are broader than direct competitors but narrower than imagined threats.(05:05) Why starting with “the problem” often leads to vague or misleading positioning inputs.(09:21) How jobs-to-be-done thinking reshaped April's positioning methodology.(12:19) What the milkshake story teaches about customer comparison frameworks.(14:46) Why sales teams are the most reliable source for identifying real competitive alternatives.(17:52) How product, marketing, and founders each skew the competitive picture in different ways.(24:49) Why AI tools like ChatGPT cannot accurately tell you who your real competitors are.—Connect with April Dunford and learn about practical positioning that accelerates marketing and sales: Work with April: https://www.aprildunford.com/contact April's newsletter: https://aprildunford.substack.com/ April's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aprildunford/ April's Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/aprildunford/ April's Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/aprildunford April's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@positioningshow—Mentioned in this episode: * Obviously Awesome, Second Edition (forthcoming), by April Dunford. * Competing Against Luck by Clayton Christensen.* Bob Moesta, researcher at JobsToBeDone.org.—Get April Dunford's books and audiobooks: “Obviously Awesome: How to Nail Product Positioning so Customers Get It, Buy It, Love It.”“Sales Pitch: How to Craft a Story to Stand Out and Win.”Amazon US: https://amzn.to/49l0ZRY Amazon Canada: https://amzn.to/4ac9hgt Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3vosDzQApple Books: https://apple.co/3xihSzCGoogle Play: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=%22April%20Dunford%22&c=books Barnes & Noble: https://www.bn.com/s/%22April%20Dunford%22 Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/contributors/april-dunford —The Positioning with April Dunford podcast: Want to make your product stand out in a crowded market?

Jennifer Reid, MD, author of Guilt Free, has the answers. For those of us who feel guilty about almost everything having to do with parenting, psychiatrist Dr. Reid hears us — and has solutions.
