In Class With Carr 304, with Dr. Greg Carr and Karen Hunter, opens the new year by naming our unavoidable choices in a moment of U.S. imperial desperation. The session centers our obligation to renew commitment to collective study as an act of courage and discipline, as U.S. bombs fall in Venezuela and Nigeria and a fear-driven minority attempts to sabotage people-centered local and national power. We reflect on the historic swearing-in of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, signaling shifting possibilities in the U.S. social structure, while recalling fellow New Yorker John Henrik Clarke's call to situate our efforts to transform society within the latitude and longitude of our long memory. We close by naming the work ahead: deeper study pathways, shared learning experiences, living archives, and collective frameworks to continue to enhance the momentum of memory, raise standards, and move knowledge into coordinated action.Are you a member of Knarrative?

On today's episode, Kara welcomes Gyve Safavi, Co-Founder and CEO of SURI — the award-winning sustainable electric toothbrush brand redefining how we care for our teeth, our health, and the planet.SURI was born from a simple but overlooked truth: every toothbrush you've ever owned still exists. In an industry built on disposability, Gyve and his Co-Founder, Mark Rushmore, saw an opportunity hiding in plain sight. They set out to create a beautifully designed, high-performance electric toothbrush made with better materials and built to last — resulting in a sleek aluminum body, recyclable plant-based heads, and thousands of passionate customers who believe in fewer, better products.Before launching SURI, Gyve spent years shaping global brands at Procter & Gamble, AKQA, and WPP — experiences that helped him reimagine what oral care could be. Raised in New York by immigrant parents who instilled the belief that anything was possible with enough focus, Gyve brings a thoughtful blend of purpose, discipline, and design-driven thinking to every part of the SURI journey.In this episode, Gyve shares how breaking a long-ignored category wide open required fresh thinking, how he and Mark balanced sustainability with true performance, and why community feedback has become central to SURI's evolution. He opens up about early challenges, product innovation, what's next with SURI 2.0, and how conscious entrepreneurship is reshaping consumer expectations in everyday essentials.A must-listen for anyone interested in sustainability, product innovation, consumer brands, or the art of turning a simple idea into a movement. Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

In this episode of the Eye Believe Podcast, we are joined by Carol McColl, an ocular melanoma patient of more than seven years, who offers a powerful and deeply human perspective on collective grief and collective hope.   Carol shares how community and connection play a vital role in navigating the grief and loss that often accompany an OM diagnosis. Through shared experiences, meaningful conversations, and mutual support, patients can find purpose, develop resilience, and cultivate hope—even on the most difficult days.   As you listen, we invite you to reflect and engage: share an inspiring quote, a favorite book, or a song that brings you comfort and light when things feel heavy. Together, these small moments of connection can make a meaningful difference.   As Carol beautifully reminds us: “Meaning fuels hope, and hope fuels strength and courage, which fuels resilience and perseverance.”   Tune in and be part of this conversation about hope, healing, and the power of community.   Carol's Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/carol.g.mccoll   Drippy The Sad Raincloud: https://abjustforyou.com/product/gwyn-morgan-the-tale-of-the-sad-rain-cloud/   Other great book we recommend- Mans Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl- https://amzn.to/3L073cL Try Softer by Aundi Kobler- https://amzn.to/4bg6J43 Strong Like Water by Aundi Kobler- https://amzn.to/4aGTVnf Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazzaro- https://amzn.to/4qffujO  

What does success look like for HMRC with Making Tax Digital – and what does it really mean for the bookkeepers doing the work on the ground? In this Leadership Takeover Session, Craig Ogilvie, HMRC's Director for Making Tax Digital, explains the “why” behind MTD for Income Tax, how it will change the UK tax system, and why he believes bookkeepers are central to making it work for small businesses. Get step by step guidance on MTD for Income Tax https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/making-tax-digital-for-income-tax?Utm_source=6fb Craig shares his journey from a low-income upbringing in Scotland, through 20+ years in government delivery, to leading some of the UK's biggest programmes – including the furlough scheme during the pandemic. He explains how his parents' values around kindness and optimism shaped his leadership style, why he focuses so heavily on people and psychological safety, and how that translates into the way he runs the MTD team today. You'll hear a clear, human explanation of what MTD for IT actually is: digital record keeping, quarterly updates and software-based filing for millions of self-employed people. Craig talks about the three big reasons behind it – reducing errors in the tax gap, modernising the UK's tax infrastructure, and creating better customer service through more timely data and nudges – and why he sees bookkeepers as uniquely placed to turn that into better conversations about cash flow, credit control and business performance. He also explains the scale of the change: rebuilding core systems, working with third-party software through APIs, and designing multiple agent functionality so both accountants and bookkeepers can support the same client. Craig describes travelling around the UK to meet real practices, how those conversations led to changes like faster sign-up journeys and multiple agent access, and why HMRC is committed to genuine co-creation rather than “rubber-stamping” decisions already made. The episode goes deeper into social mobility, confidence and financial understanding. Craig talks about seeing his dad's January “bag of receipts”, the construction sector's heavy representation in the first MTD cohort, and the financial literacy gap facing many sole traders. He reflects on sessions with unrepresented business owners, where a clear explanation – often from a bookkeeper or accountant – can quickly change how someone feels about digital tools, quarterly reporting and understanding their numbers. ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.

BEST OF TST: Peter Thiel of Palantir is hosting a lecture series on the Antichrist in San Francisco between September 15 and October 6, 2025. Entirely secretive, the talk is put on by Acts 17 Collective, referring to the Biblical book of Acts wherein we read about how the divine being is not like material things (gold and silver) but instead something far more valuable. Is this ironic or intentional? Many see this as the fulfillment of prophecy, but perhaps it is the fulfilling of pop-culture prophecy instead. Perhaps technocrats are playing and preying on 4 billion Christians and Muslims to run a scenario designed to strip away faith in the divine and parlay it into technology. A satirizing of eschatology? The tech-bros believe that God messed up and man can fix it by replacing organic creation with synthetics. Everlasting life can be achieved through gold and silver (material means) which will extinguish the real spiritual nature of mankind - the true gold that is ‘Christ' consciousness - and replace it with antichrist consciousness. In the process, vampires like Thiel will feed on your corpse. True eternal life begins with recognizing death and choosing to make the world a better place anyways rather than becoming a nihilist. It is the choice of Christ consciousness and of faith in what lies beyond. One often overlooked detail of the technocracy is the apparent obsession with homosexuality, transgenderism, and Judaism. Consider the gay technocrats of Thiel, Yuval Harari, Sam Altman, and the debated sexuality of Alex Karp. All but Thiel are also Jewish, as is Larry Ellison and Curtis Yarvin, the man giving JD Vance many of his philosophical ideas. In fact, Thiel and Yarvin created Vance and influence him through their Dark Enlightenment philosophy, which wants to replace governments with a techno-monarchy equivalent to the Christian concept of a NWO. Are their Homosexual practices recycling sexual energy to create synthetic life? Homosexuality is also a rejection of God's creation, which is why so many Jews embrace not just homosexuality but the entirety of LGBTQ. People like Sam Altman have placed the hexagram into his ChatGPT logo while he has unveiled an ORB device that is a machine which confirms your humanity. We need only recall Matthew 26 where the high priest Pharisees accuse Jesus of being the Son of God to which Jesus rejects such a notion and lectures them on the end of their monopoly over salvation. The tech-bros are the modern pharisees and they not only reject Christ, but intend to convince his followers to fight a Holy War, and then offer salvation from the destruction with their vampiric machines. Alex Karp has promised a 3-front war is coming and Larry Ellison did say that most of the advanced AI technology was coming from Herzliya Israel, not Silicon Valley, which would make it a brother to transgenderism which finds its home in Tel Aviv. If all of this is slightly more true then it means Israel is the beast and the Balfour Declaration of 1917 was the dragon giving power unto the same. This is probably why the Trump administration has given military roles to the tech-bros and held high-profile dinners for Silicon Valley technocrats who he is himself a slave too. Hence the cutting of his right ear as a result of an assassination attempt, which Biblically speaks to the servant of the high priest, which in the Church of Satan is MAGA.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Natalee Leach, founder of The Payroll Collective, shares her journey from a corporate payroll career to building a fast-growing consultancy on track for $3M in revenue. She breaks down how values-driven leadership, people-first culture, and client retention fueled rapid growth. Natalee also opens up about managing fast scaling, hiring at the right time, and the mental strain of entrepreneurship. She explains why foundations, systems, and the right team matter more than aggressive sales. A candid conversation on sustainable growth, leadership, and building a business with purpose. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Natalee Leach, the hardest thing in growing a small business is the speed of growth. Growing too fast can feel scary and overwhelming, especially with the fear that "what goes up must come down." Managing rapid scaling while keeping the business stable, sustainable, and healthy is the real challenge. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Natalee Leach's favorite business book is The Diary of a CEO, which has helped her the most by offering honest, relatable insights into leadership, mindset, and personal growth, while also providing validation and practical ideas that she can apply to building and leading a successful business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Natalee Leach recommends a few great podcasts and online resources to help grow a small business, including The Diary of a CEO for mindset and leadership insights, How I Built This for real founder stories, and Smart Passive Income for practical business strategy. She also points to MasterClass, Coursera, and LinkedIn Learning as solid hubs to level up skills in marketing, leadership, and scaling operations — all great for small business growth. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Natalee Leach often points to Notion as one of her go-to tools for growing a small business — it's great for organizing workflows, project plans, SOPs, content calendars, client onboarding, and team collaboration all in one place. She also recommends Slack for team communication, Asana or Trello for task management, and Stripe/QuickBooks for streamlined billing and finances. These tools help keep operations smooth, teams aligned, and growth intentional. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Natalee Leach, one advice she would give herself is to book a Pilates session or schedule time for yourself in your diary from day one because the business will run over you if you do not. She emphasizes that setting these boundaries immediately is crucial for maintaining a lifestyle that offers longevity rather than constant exhaustion. This self-care allows for quality time with family and friends, ensuring you are not too tired to actually enjoy life outside of work. By prioritizing your own physical and mental strength early on, you can better power through the different phases of business growth. Ultimately, she views scheduling this personal time as a paramount habit that business owners must develop to prevent being derailed by the mental strain of leadership.

In this Leadership Takeover Session, Jack Choppin – employee number one at GoProposal (now GoProposal by Sage) and long-time head of Client Success – explains how bookkeepers can build confident teams, challenge clients on pricing and create “shock and awe” experiences that drive loyalty and growth. For UK bookkeepers bringing in their first team member, or trying to get braver with fees, this is a practical look at what real client success and culture actually feel like day to day. Download GoProposal's guide for running impactful client meetings: https://goproposal.com/blog/how-to-keep-your-client-at-the-heart-of-every-meeting-with-the-gloss-method/?UTM_Source=6fb Jack shares how he joined GoProposal on trust in the people before he fully understood the mission, what it was like to be 50% of the company's salary bill as the first hire, and how that level of transparency built belief and ownership. He talks about the famous “shock and awe” pack, why they poured huge energy into free trials, and how unscalable, high-touch onboarding helped them spot the right customers and turn them into raving fans long before they put card details in. You'll hear how GoProposal built a culture of caring deeply and challenging directly: sending physical packs, pre-branding apps, and offering training calls that didn't just show people where to click, but helped them feel ready to sit in front of a client and say, “Your price needs to go up.” Jack explains why true client success means challenging beliefs, not just being nice, and why the real measure of success isn't “do you understand the software?” but “are you willing to have that pricing conversation?” Jack also talks about the emotional side of building a business from the inside. He describes working with founder James Ashford, carrying the pressure of personal goals (like helping Becky leave her job), and learning not to become an “accidental diminisher” who has all the answers. Instead, he shows how asking team members to bring problems with proposed solutions builds confidence, autonomy and genuine leadership capability – the same mindset bookkeepers can use with both staff and clients. For practice owners, Jack shares what he learned as GoProposal grew and then moved through acquisition into Sage: how openness around targets builds buy-in rather than fear, where to draw the line between healthy pressure and stress, and how small firms can use their size as an advantage by involving team members closely in the journey. He also talks honestly about self-doubt, fear of getting it wrong, and how focusing on intent rather than outcome helps him act even when confidence feels shaky. This is essential viewing for bookkeepers who want to move beyond “just doing the work” and build a business where clients, team and founder are all truly invested in the same mission. ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.

In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames shares a grounded visibility reset for entrepreneurs heading into 2026. Instead of chasing trends or posting more, this conversation focuses on clarity, community, leadership energy, and building a sustainable visibility ecosystem that actually converts. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why visibility in 2026 is less about volume and more about intention The biggest misconceptions about visibility that are leading to burnout How clarity outperforms consistency when it comes to being remembered Why community and relationships matter more than reach and metrics The importance of building a visibility ecosystem instead of relying on one platform How leadership energy changes the way people respond to your brand Why visibility is ultimately an identity decision, not a marketing tactic Key Topics Covered: Visibility strategy for 2026 Community-led marketing Personal brand clarity Sustainable content creation Relationship-driven growth Thought leadership and calm authority Building trust and long-term visibility Marketing alignment and burnout prevention Who This Episode Is For: Entrepreneurs and creators who feel visible but not connected Business owners tired of chasing algorithms and trends Leaders who want clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth Anyone building a personal brand, community, or long-term platform Mentioned In This Episode: Visibility as a long-term strategy, not a quick win Why platforms change but relationships compound How to approach 2026 with intention and leadership Call to Action: If you're ready for visibility that feels aligned and sustainable, explore Michelle's Collective for ongoing support, clarity, and community — and follow the podcast for daily conversations on marketing, visibility, and leadership. https://michellethames.com/elevate-and-empower-collective Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Chaque année, on se souhaite la même chose : “Bonne année, et surtout la santé !”On le dit automatiquement, sans toujours mesurer ce que ça veut vraiment dire.Quand j'ai reçu Ismaël Emelien dans PAUSE, cette phrase a pris une autre dimension. Parce que lui a passé des années au cœur du pouvoir, à conseiller le Président Emmanuel Macron. Et qu'un jour, il a décidé de tout quitter pour se consacrer à une seule chose : notre santé.Pas la santé quand il est déjà trop tard. Mais celle que l'on construit avant. Celle qu'on néglige quand tout va bien. Celle qu'on sacrifie parfois au nom de la performance, de la réussite, de la vitesse.Ce qui m'a marqué dans cet épisode, ce n'est pas seulement les coulisses de l'Élysée, même si elles sont fascinantes. C'est ce virage radical.Ce moment où Ismaël s'est demandé : “À quoi sert le pouvoir, si on ne s'en sert pas pour mieux vivre ?”Avec Zoī, il parle de prévention, de données, de longévité. Mais surtout, il parle de responsabilité. Individuelle. Collective. Et de cette idée simple, mais vertigineuse : et si notre plus grande richesse, c'était le temps passé en bonne santé ?En ce début d'année, cet épisode résonne plus fort que jamais. Parce qu'il ne parle pas de résolutions. Il parle de priorités.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Be honest: have you set up automation… but not really adopted it? In this episode of our Leadership Series, Paul Lodder (VP of Accounting & Product Strategy at Dext) breaks down how to use Dext automation to create capacity, improve real-time reporting, and move clients from reactive to in control. Download Dext's Compliance to Advisory Guide, here: https://info.dext.com/compliance-to-advisory-guide?UTM_source=6fb Paul shares what he saw moving from practice to product: most firms sign up to tools but don't adopt features deeply enough to get the outcome. You'll hear what “real-time bookkeeping” actually means, why regularity matters, and how to structure people, processes and products so automation sticks. What you'll learn: - Spot why firms “go digital” but still don't get full tool value (feature adoption is the gap). - Build a Dext champion role that improves automation performance across your client base. - Shift clients from quarterly compliance to real-time bookkeeping and decision-making. - Use automation and regularity to unlock dashboards, insights, and proactive conversations. - Understand where AI helps (proactivity and capacity) and where it won't replace you (relationships and empathy). Try Dext as a partner: https://dext.com/uk/partner?utm_source=6fb and explore how automation creates capacity. This episode is for bookkeepers and accounting firms who want to stop chasing paperwork, reduce admin, and deliver real-time value, without adding headcount. ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.

She sold 28 homes her first year, 86 the next, and 145 after that — all while becoming a first-time mom in a chaotic market.But behind the success was exhaustion, fear, and a quiet question many agents are afraid to ask: What does this level of hustle actually cost?In this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon interviews Taley Hunt, a high-producing real estate agent, team leader, and mom who built an extraordinary business during one of the most intense markets in history — while navigating pregnancy, postpartum life, and early motherhood.Taley shares how she entered real estate with no prior industry experience, found out she was pregnant the day she passed her real estate exam, and went on to sell nearly 300 homes in three years. She opens up about the hidden cost of rapid success, including burnout, anxiety, and tying her self-worth to production.Garrett and Taley also dive into how she transitioned from blind hustle to intentional business ownership, why community and human connection matter more than ever in an AI-driven world, and how she now helps moms in real estate build big businesses without sacrificing their families or faith.Connect with Taley:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realestatemomcoach/- Website: https://taleyhunt.com/Key TakeawaysRapid success without boundaries can quietly lead to burnoutHustle alone is not a long-term business strategyMany agents tie self-worth to production without realizing itOrganic growth through relationships and community is powerful and sustainableSocial media and agent referrals can outperform paid leads when done intentionallyHuman connection will matter more — not less — in an AI-driven industryBuilding leverage is essential to protecting family timeDefining success personally is more important than industry benchmarksMoms in real estate need community, not comparisonYou can build a big business without trading your life for itChapters01:21 – Entering Real Estate During the Pandemic03:49 – First Deals, New Motherhood, and No Time Off 05:12 – Fear of Losing Momentum09:05 – Selling 28 Homes with No Childcare 11:03 – Scaling from 28 to 145 Transactions 12:25 – Learning to Leverage Time and Build Support 13:53 – How Social Media & Agent Referrals Built Her Business 16:11 – Teaching Agents to Build Through Community 19:11 – Why Human Connection Beats AI 22:15 – Helping Agents Find Their Niche and People 24:38 – When Production Became Identity 26:37 – Redefining Success and Setting Boundaries

In this Leadership Takeover Session, Stuart Miller, Director of Public Policy and Technology Research at Xero, shares what's really happening behind the scenes with MTD, AI and financial literacy – and what it all means for UK bookkeepers. If you've ever wondered who sits in the rooms with government, regulators and tech companies speaking up for small businesses and their advisers, this episode joins those dots. Stuart didn't set out to be an accountant. He fell into practice to avoid paying rent to his parents, trained through AAT, and built his career in firms where tattoos, shaved heads and “not fitting the mould” were still frowned upon. He talks about the managers who backed him, the crying client whose tax-return anxiety helped him find his purpose, and the R&D projects where better tax advice funded real-world change – like extracting myrrh oil to support schools in Africa. Today, his role at Xero spans smart data, late payments, e-invoicing, unique business identifiers, AI policy and MTD. He explains what his week actually looks like: responding to consultations, sitting on smart data groups, meeting departments like Business and Trade, and feeding the voice of accountants and bookkeepers into policy. Find out about the benefits of becoming a Xero Partner, here: https://www.xero.com/uk/partner-programme/?UTM_Source=6fb The conversation also tackles AI. Stuart sees AI as an efficiency driver, not a replacement for bookkeepers. He talks about using AI to speed up reconciliation, summarise long email newsletters and surface insights, while the real value sits in the 20% of work that is deeply human: handling ambiguity, context and emotion. A big theme is financial literacy and social mobility. Stuart is passionate about closing the gap for people who were never taught about interest rates, APR or cash flow at home or at school. He talks about Xero's financial literacy campaign, which offers bite-size guidance and mentoring for people from disadvantaged backgrounds or those starting a business with no financial training. Crucially, it's open to everyone, not just software users, and supported by accountants and bookkeepers who volunteer their time to help. ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.

In this episode, Apron founder Bogdan Uzbekov explains how he built a 100+ person payments team, created a culture where people “do the work of their lives”, and why his 10-year vision includes building something in space. For UK bookkeepers, accountants and small business owners, this is a practical masterclass in leadership, team culture and modern business payments. The way you build your team and choose your technology stack directly affects cash flow, client experience and your capacity to grow. Bogdan shares what he learned in almost a decade in payments, how Apron was designed around accountants and bookkeepers, and the leadership principles he uses to scale quickly without losing quality. By the end of this episode, viewers will understand how high-growth fintech thinking can be applied inside a small UK bookkeeping practice. Hosted by Jo Wood and Zoe Whitman from The 6 Figure Bookkeeper, this Leadership Takeover Session connects real founder experience with the day-to-day reality of running a modern practice. Bogdan has spent nearly 10 years in payments, built Apron from concept to a fast-growing funded company, and now leads a team serving SMEs, accountants and bookkeepers across the UK. In this conversation, Jo and Zoe explore how Bogdan moved from a background in physics and research into startups and payments, why he chose the pace of entrepreneurship over a PhD, how Apron evolved from a simple frustration with broken business payments into a platform used by practices and their clients, what it really takes to grow a team from the first hire to over 100 people, how to design team culture deliberately so people can thrive, why he openly says “I love hustle” and how he balances that with family life, and his long-term ambition to “do something in space”. Bogdan is clear that great products are built by great teams. He explains why hiring is “really hard”, how Apron uses structured culture-led interviews, why values and learning speed matter more than technical skill alone, and why founders must eventually let go of control to allow new leaders to step forward. For UK bookkeepers, this offers a blueprint for moving from a solo practice to a small, high-impact firm. Apron is a business payments platform that helps small businesses pay suppliers and staff while keeping accountants and bookkeepers at the centre of the workflow. Bogdan Uzbekov is Apron's founder and currently leads a 100+ person team building payment infrastructure for UK SMEs. Platforms like Apron allow UK bookkeepers to centralise outgoing payments, improve visibility over cash flow, and introduce more structured client processes.

What a week of reveals, corruption laid open for all to see, Government, regime, liberal system caught red handed again..... Only a matter of time.   What is an 'Identifiable Group', and what does Canada's criminal code say about hate speech.

New @greenpillnet pod out today!

Drs. Mackenzie Steiner and Alex Iantaffi discuss their collaborative program, The Collective Alchemy of Gender Liberation. This is a new, somatic-based program created by trans people for trans people in service to our collective liberation. In this episode, they talk about how the program started, the values it's rooted in, and how gender is an embodied experience. Mackenzie and Alex also talk about how their collaborative process is heart-centered and based in relationality, rather than product-focused and treating the collaboration as a mean to an end, as is often the case in dominant culture. While the program is by and for trans people, the episode has much to offer to cis folks as well in relation to a deeper understanding of gender and to what a collaborative process centered in decoloniality might look like.  Mackenzie Steiner is a reformed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience specializing in attachment, gender identity and socialization, as well as addictions and trauma recovery. For 20 of those years, she worked with veterans facing just about every possible type of concern related to their identities, relationships and mental health, but particularly at the interface of addictions and complex post-traumatic stress. Mackenzie transitioned into private practice at the beginning of 2023 to stretch her wings and be free to practice with communities and in ways unencumbered by organizational constraints. At the heart of her work is building an attuned, compassionate and safe relational base from which to explore the challenging aspects of one's history and how it intersects with the present moment. Mackenzie accomplishes this through a mosaic of attachment, mindfulness, emotionally and somatically focused approaches as well as parts-work perspectives that she has found most efficiently and humanely promote long-term change and deep healing. And she has found that nature can be a profound ally for this process! On the more personal side, she is an avid outdoors-person who is most nourished by activities ranging from landscaping to hiking, climbing and backpacking. She is also a seeker of mysteries, having an insatiable curiosity to discover the knowledge and wisdom underlying our physical, psychological, relational and spiritual realities in service of promoting our health and authentic evolution.  Find out more about the Collective Alchemy of Gender Liberation and Dr. Mackenzie Steiner at the following links: Website: https://www.gender-alchemy.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectivegenderalchemy/ @collectivegenderalchemy Dr. Mackenzie Steiner's website: https://naturesmosaictherapy.com/  Instagram: GenderStoriesHosted by Alex IantaffiMusic by Maxwell von RavenGender Stories logo by Lior Effinger-Weintraub
