Laurence Fox's on-air comments about a female journalist were "way past the limits of acceptance" and should have been properly challenged by host Dan Wootton, the boss of GB News has told Today. In an interview with Amol Rajan, Angelos Frangopoulos said he was "appalled" by the comments. Fox and Wootton have been suspended and the channel being investigated by Ofcom, which received 7,300 complaints. Fox sparked the controversy when he asked what "self-respecting man" would "climb into bed" with Ava Evans. "They are not in keeping with the values of us as a business and as a media company," Mr Frangopoulos said. He added "Obviously, we took action immediately. "There is a process that needs to be followed, and we expect that that process will be completed very soon." Fox said on Thursday he was "sorry for demeaning" Evans, while Wootton apologised and said he should have intervened.

Andrew deep dives into the fascinating world of comedian, author, and human rights advocate Sandi Toksvig who shares some of the experiences that have fueled her fervent commitment to equality and justice. From school days spent at a French-speaking convent (where she masterminded a school rebellion), to earlier this year challenging the Archbishop of Canterbury over the Church of England's stance on same-sex marriage, it's a thought-provoking conversation that's equal parts humour and heart.   For more info on Sandi's public call earlier this year for Church of England bishops to be removed from the House of Lords over its continued opposition to same-sex marriage: https://humanists.uk/2023/02/03/sandi-toksvig-calls-for-cofe-bishops-to-be-removed-from-lords-over-same-sex-marriage/   What I Believe was the title of two separate essays by the philosopher Bertrand Russell and the philosopher EM Forster in the early 20th century. These two humanists set out their approach to life, their fundamental worldview, in a way that was accessible to all. In this podcast, Chief Executive of Humanists UK, Andrew Copson, speaks to humanists today to understand more about they believe, to understand more about the values, convictions, and opinions they live by.    Humanists UK is the national charity working on behalf of non religious people to advance free thinking and promote a tolerant society.

The Chief Executive of the Refugee Council, Enver Solomon, joins us to discuss the refugee crisis and shed light on the work of the Refugee Council and the context in which they operate. Every day, refugees are risking their lives by coming on boats from Continental Europe to the UK, and we see a political response of building walls and enforceability. We explore the realities on the ground and the electoral challenges faced by policymakers, within a backdrop of heightened economic insecurity which often drives xenophobia. Enver Solomon provides specific tips on how to be an effective advocate for refugees and universal values, and explains why engaging with policymakers and the public is essential for an effective communications strategy. The Refugee Council was founded in 1951, following the creation of the UN Refugee Convention.

The Selkie swims ashore at night, sheds her seal skin, hides it, and delights in her human form. In Celtic lore, she is the wild feminine soul, a creature of land and sea, innocent and beautiful, who cannot thrive in domesticity.   In folklore, the seal-folk are discovered by humans. Their natural, joyous spirit, grace, and affection invite contact. Humans are drawn to them, but if they touch, parting is unbearable. Many a young man, desperate to maintain the life-giving embrace of nature, steals a Selkie's seal skin, locking her into a human form. Helpless, she is led into domesticity and motherhood. Isolated from the sea, in a role alien to her nature, the Selkie declines until her seal-skin is reclaimed. Called home to the sea, she leaves all behind and is restored to her true nature.  The theft of the Selkie's skin is a kind of archetypal initiation. Our naive spirits are all too often robbed and captured through lack of foresight. We lose touch with our wild spirit as we accept our assigned social roles, accommodate the compromises of marriage, and forget what we once loved. Drained and disaffected, midlife may call us into our inner wilderness to renew and restore our original being.  We lose our connection to life-giving instincts slowly. Attending the family alma mater, selecting a sensible career, and sacrificing our wildness to corporate culture can leave our souls withered. Deprived of the water of life, we may abandon everything once we find our true skin and smell the brine carried on the east wind. In the ancient stories, seal-folk were male and female, and either might find themselves trapped through naïve curiosity. For young men and women, innocence is unrewarded in the adult world and often leads us into harsh agreements that force us to abandon our intuition and accept domestication. We turn from our inner world and stare only at the culture. Deep desire is replaced by snacking on what has been advertised. Our uncouth delight is curated into meticulous etiquette.   When we neglect the animal side, the unconscious tries to call us back. Injured animals surface in our dreams, along with roaring vague creatures that chase us and savage impulses prompting us to bite and claw. If we linger too long in alien domesticity, emptiness, exhaustion, and neglect may drive us to chew our way out of our current situation. But actions of last resort might be avoided by learning to listen to the wild one within. Carving out time in nature, setting unyielding boundaries, and questioning societal expectations are vital to our true nature. If we are sons and daughters of the open water, we need time off, solitude, and uninterrupted periods of self-reflection. Art, music, and poetry can call forward our seal-like nature, granting us deep relief.  Listen to your seal-song and answer it.  HERE'S THE DREAM WE ANALYZE: “I requested to present to local government an opportunity to help people out with repair and replacement of septic tanks if they couldn't afford it, including replacement of caps to prevent toddlers from falling in and drowning. The Chief Executive, an inexperienced and clueless fellow, introduced me to their new consultant, who looked just like the guy who played Prospero in my senior year production of The Tempest; I played Caliban. The guy was good-looking but a terrible actor who never studied and couldn't seem to memorize his lines. As the consultant to our local government, he informed me that to make any assistance possible for people in need, I'd have to first make a public presentation pledging I would worship Thanatos and Eros and that I would only award assistance to those who also swore their religious allegiance to Thanatos and Eros. I was outraged and stomped out. My friend, who is in the same field and with whom I often collaborate, sat in the audience calmly taking notes. I asked her if she would do it, and she said she didn't see any problem with it, which I thought was completely out of character, as she is a very principled woman who stands up to anything unethical. I woke up angry and a little confused.” MEET LISA IN COLUMBUS OHIO on October 13 & 14, 2023 The Power of Dreamwork – Friday Night Lecture (October 13 from 7 to 8:30 PM) and Saturday Workshop (October 14 from 9:30 AM to Noon): CLICK HERE.

About Buck Mims and National Public Safety Group: Buck is active in the ministry at Grace Church of Southern Pines, where and his wife Kimberly also counsel individuals and married couples. Buck and Kimberly are also the proud parents of two adult children and their little Shih Tzu, Layla Lu Mims. I have over 33 years in the public safety arena. For years, I worked in public safety software sales at a Tier 1 provider, with considerable experience implementing large consortium systems, including one 10 County system of CAD, RMS, Mobile, and Civil software. With all of the volatility in the software market, I started National Public Safety Group, so we could offer a consulting firm that really understood the Public Safety Software industry. Having been a sworn officer myself for over 30 years, I also have a passion to help agencies. I have always been an advocate to ensure my customers were taken care of, which isn't always easy in corporate America. That is not the case at our company. We are 100% going above and beyond to give great service and value to them. We guarantee our services by providing a cancel anytime contract, so if you are not happy with our work, you are not stuck in a contract. We will live and die by our service and value, and I can do that because I know we will give our customers our best. I am very excited about all we are doing today and what is coming over the next few years. At NPSG, you are assigned a team specific to your needs. We have subject matter experts for each solution and phase of your project. As we are a concierge consulting firm, each project is assigned a project manager, the appropriate subject matter experts for products, selection experts, and procurement experts. Having our team providing you with facts and putting things in the appropriate context allows your agency to make smart and educated decisions. This helps out agencies and their software providers have more successful projects. This level of involvement is part of our standard concierge service. Our goal is to take the work load off of your team and anxiety out of your project. As our consultants mainly come from public safety and working at public safety software companies, we understand what it means to have a strong partnership with your provider. So part of our goal is very importantly to help build a strong relationship with the software provider and your agency. We don't just say we focus mainly on software. We highly focus on the public safety software industry, it's products and providers. Besides over 90% of our work involving public safety software consulting, we internally have training to help our consultants understand the industry better. We teach them how to continuously stay up to date with information they need to be a successful public safety software consultant. We also have three different tools we are building to help our employees and customers directly understand the differences of the providers in the market.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Speaker Kevin McCarthy's announcement yesterday that the House will launch a formal impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden surely starts the countdown to the President's early departure from office.  Of course, the Senate seems unlikely to convict when, not if, the House impeaches this Chief Executive for bribery, other high crimes and misdemeanors and, deservedly, for treason. Rather, he'll have to go because even his own partisans will conclude that his position is untenable, and they stand to suffer politically if he remains in office.  No patriotic American can relish the prospect that, at least for a time, Kamala Harris might – like her running-mate – become President-in-name-only. But she, too, will have to go lest she precipitate a GOP electoral landslide too big to steal.  Fraught history is being made and we must pray the Republic survives it. This is Frank Gaffney.

Let's connect on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/melissallarena/ Send me a “hi” DM on Insta letting me know you caught this week's episode. I'd love to know who is listening. Welcome to episode 194. Do you have a great business idea stuck in your head? What if getting it out of your head would put $30K in your pocket? Why would anyone procrastinate on executing such an idea? Meet Carin today's live coaching session participant.  This is her situation and yet she has been procrastinating launching her $30K idea. Does this sound familiar? The conversation started with this $30K challenge yet as is often the case for moms in business specifically there is often more going on in the background that is affecting our sanity. So what might be the root cause of Carin's hesitation to release her idea into the world and just stating selling it?  Tune in to find out!  You'll hear how  through candid and brutally honest coaching questions I uncovered that her procrastinating the launch of this idea was just a symptom of something much bigger: she is actually a hesitant to let go of her old life ( she's in the middle of an incomplete divorce). So it turns out, the issue is not really the offer, the credentials, or the details of binging her offer to the world. Sound familiar? Tune in. if this episode resonates with you as a mom in business then sign-up for a free break-through session with me. This is the link for my calendar: https://www.melissallarena.com/sessions/ Carin Cooper is a coach who helps women who are agonizing about their jobs and leaving their kids how to create income from home. She has worked hard on deprogramming herself from feeling like she is not enough. She has worked on her money story and hired a mentor who has a framework for creating a new coaching offer. You will hear how self-aware Carin is regarding the world of coaching. Use this coaching session, to see if the areas of your own life where you might require a therapist instead of a coach.  I'm sharing this conversation because the truth is that not every business challenge can be fixed on the surface. No number of affirmations, marketing funnel hacks, or shifts in money stories are going to change you when you are in the middle of a personal life tragedy like a divorce. So consider this episode a good gauge of where a coach's expertise may be insufficient. In this episode, you will hear these ideas expressed: ●      How to know when procrastinating is just a symptom vs. the real issue in business stagnation ●      Accepting change vs. resisting it; what can this look like for moms with a lot on their minds ●      Signs that you are avoiding a bigger emotional issue by investing in temporary business fixes ●      The fear of big life changes and getting back up ●      Investing in coaching vs. when you might need to invest in therapy ●      What questions might you need to answer to get to the bottom of your procrastinating? ●      How to address pain beyond the surface when coaches are not helping ●      What it sounds like when coaching is not the answer SHARE this episode with a mom founder, entrepreneur, or creator who is procrastinating launching a new offer.

DM me to talk about the fear of judgment. Is it real to you too? https://www.instagram.com/melissallarena/ Have you ever felt trapped within your own survival story? This week, we walk through this very journey with Serin, a mother and author who finds herself entangled in the chains of her past. As we traverse the winding path of her life, we uncover the deep-seated fears that have held her back from achieving her full potential as a mom and writer. Diving into the heart of her narrative, we delve into the impact of early childhood trauma and explore the powerful role of self-sabotage in Serin's life. Together, we shed light on the tangible tools and lessons that can aid her quest for progress and growth. This is a live coaching session where I coach Serin, an author with one daughter who is holding on to an old story that is getting in the way of writing her book, a memoir. Sound familiar?  She has done a lot of work to fight that story of survival but she still finds herself using it as the reason why she is not earning at her full potential nor making progress in writing her memoir. A lot came up related to early childhood trauma, which I have to say is often behind self-sabotage, impostor syndrome, and playing very small. Will Serin hold on tightly to her story or will she let it go after 40 years?  Time to find out – and if this episode resonates with your situation as a mom in business then sign up for a free breakthrough session with me: https://www.melissallarena.com/sessions/  This episode is brought to you by Fertile Imagination: A Guide For Stretching Every Mom's Superpower For Maximum Impact – My book that will be available on October 2023.

Twelve years ago, she moved to Boulder, Colorado, and discovered her spiritual gifts as a medium and intuitive healer.

Her belief: the world is more beautiful when we can be who we want to be.
