    What does it mean to lead a movement? Michael Hurley, a veteran advocate and President of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU/CUPE), joins Amie Archibald-Varley, The Gritty Nurse to discuss the grit required to protect the healthcare workforce. In this high-stakes episode, we pull back the curtain on what it truly takes to fight for frontline workers. Michael emphasizes that the current crisis in recruitment and retention isn't an accident—it's a policy failure. He highlights his work on the front lines of union leadership, focusing on the necessity of staffing ratios and the urgent fight to end violence against staff. From the history of illegal strikes to the modern-day battle against privatization, Michael illustrates how his work as Union President is centered on one goal: empowering workers to reclaim their profession through community mobilization and bold, collective action. Michael shares his transformative journey from healthcare worker to a fearless union leader, revealing why sometimes the most effective path to change requires the courage to take collective action. Michael breaks down the front-line battles he leads every day, including: The Blueprint for Staffing: Why mandated ratios are the only cure for a collapsing system. Holding the Line: Michael's fierce advocacy against the quiet creep of healthcare privatization. Safety as a Right: Addressing the "silent epidemic" of violence against healthcare workers and the legislative teeth needed to stop it. The Power of the Union: How Michael mobilizes communities to turn individual frustration into unstoppable collective power. This is a masterclass in advocacy for any nurse who has ever felt unheard. WHY ONTARIO NEEDS SAFE NURSE STAFFING LEVELS (OCHU Report) https://ochu.on.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Safe-nurse-staffing-Report_ENG_Final_WEB.pdf   More about Micheal Hurley Michael Hurley has been a hospital worker and a CUPE member since 1977. He was fired and convicted of contempt of court during the illegal 1981 Ontario hospital strike. He has been the President of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions since 1990. He is also the first Vice-President of CUPE Ontario as well as Regional Vice-President on CUPE's National Executive Board for Ontario. He is the proud father of two daughters. https://ochu.on.ca/history/ https://cupe.ca/michael-hurley-regional-vice-president-ontario About Ontario Council of Hospital Union (OCHU) OCHU was founded in 1982 following a very difficult hospital strike and forced arbitration decisions that were unfair to CUPE members. The seven CUPE regions and CUPE staff worked on a plan to improve the bargaining process, communications with members and locals, and the coordination between regions. They also recognized the need for the existence of a permanent decision-making authority between collective agreements. The plan developed was received favourably by all locals and led to the founding of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions. About CUPE We've been together for over 50 years. We do different jobs that require different skills. We are diverse – from all sorts of backgrounds in all corners of the country. But we're connected by a common purpose. Together we've fought for the things that matter most. Fairness. Equality. Dignity. There's still much to be done before we have a truly just society. Empowering young workers, women's rights, racial equality, dignity for the disabled, as well as justice for First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. We have made Canada a better place for millions of workers and their families. We will keep fighting for a Canada where ALL workers have a decent wage, retirement security, dignity and a safe workplace. As we move forward, we are undertaking an unprecedented initiative to speak with every rank and file member in order to re-create our movement. We are 800,000 public service workers. We will back each other up. We will speak with one voice. We are CUPE. * Listen on Apple Podcasts – : The Gritty Nurse Podcast on Apple Apple Podcasts  https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-gritty-nurse/id1493290782 * Watch on YouTube –  https://www.youtube.com/@thegrittynursepodcast Stay Connected: Website: grittynurse.com Instagram: @grittynursepod TikTok: @thegrittynursepodcast X (Twitter): @GrittyNurse Collaborations & Inquiries: For sponsorship opportunities or to book Amie for speaking engagements, visit: grittynurse.com/contact Thank you to Hospital News for being a collaborative partner with the Gritty Nurse! www.hospitalnews.com

    When the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church announced an unprecedented Woman's Seminar recently, we were stunned! After 200 years of profound misogyny and exploitation, was the Handmaid's Tale of the Real Housewives of PBCC finally coming to an end? Were women actually being allowed to think, to speak, to make decisions for themselves? Would there be female trustees and directors of ecosystem entities?What would the theme of the Woman's Seminar be? Empowerment? Autonomy? Trusting your feminine instincts? Equality? How to say NO to abusive men? Equal pay in the workplace? Protecting yourself and your children from the PBCC's ubiquitous pedophiles? - or perhaps a more scriptural theme – the Great Women of the Bible – Esther, Ruth, Deborah, the Queen of Sheba?Sadly, the vaunted “Woman's Seminar “ was mostly about…wait for it…The Great Men. Yes, you read that right – a Woman's Seminar all about THE GREAT MEN. How women should utterly submit themselves to these exulted demi-gods, how just a look from their Beedy eyes should reduce every female to trembling submission, and thrilling recollections from a sister of being kissed at age 12 by the lecherous and despicable JTJr.This revolting seminar, highly scripted and doubtless written in its entirety by men, exceeded our worst conjectures. Listen as Andrea, Cassie and Cheryl rip into this heinous piece of coercive cultic crap, and Richard exposes some remarkable and shocking secrets about Dean Hales' shoes.Link for Insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hpta9ex2owz14zfsynekk/45000-156.mp4?rlkey=jh9h19y64q6jm22k6ml77wmjd&st=zfucjk6i&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace

    The Catholic Church employs a priest/DJ who uses electronic music and rave culture to revitalize their dwindling congregation, with the Pope's explicit blessing. This "spiritual innovation," endorsed by Pope Leo to "share your faith", is scrutinized to determine if it is a genuine movement founded on "universal love" or a desperate attempt by the Vatican to put "butts in seats". The cynical view holds that this marketing strategy is merely a distraction from the Church's history of atrocities and a necessary concession to remain financially relevant as global society moves toward secularism.News Source:[Article Title not provided]By [Author not provided] for [Outlet name not provided][Date not provided]

    Revelation 6:15–17 (ESV) “Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?'” In today's Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we see another moment of equality in Scripture. At the foot of the cross, all are equal in mercy. But Revelation shows a remarkable truth: during God's judgment, all are also equal in fear. Kings, generals, the wealthy, and even slaves and free men respond the same way as the wrath of the Lamb is revealed. This passage reminds us that Jesus came to save us from this wrath. Through His mercy and grace, we can stand before God forgiven and secure. As believers, we are invited to choose equality at the cross today rather than equality in judgment tomorrow. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

But deep in the nervous system lives Symmetry Terror—a visceral fear of standing in a relationship where: power is truly shared, both can leave, both can see and name the truth, Neither is superior nor safely inferior. Why It's Psychologically Counterintuitive We usually pathologize power imbalance. This topic says: we unconsciously seek imbalance because it feels safer than mutual exposure. Being “above” means control. Being “below” means moral innocence. Being “equal” means no hiding place. Psychiatric / Clinical Angle Frames certain “attachment issues” as defenses against symmetry: anxious types chase upward or downward asymmetry, avoidant types preserve distance to avoid symmetrical vulnerability.

We examine how Abrahamic religions maintain ancient customs that often treat women as property, noting this degradation has existed for thousands of years. The discussion analyzes the ethical flaws in systems that place restrictions on women based on how men behave (a classic case of victim blaming).

    In this conversation of Inspire Change, Gunter Swoboda delves into the profound question of human nature and the concept of equality, challenging the traditional narratives surrounding masculinity. He explores the anthropological evidence that suggests humans are not inherently competitive or hierarchical but are capable of living as equals. Swoboda emphasizes the importance of reframing masculinity from a perspective of dominance to one of equality, particularly in relationships and therapy. He encourages men to confront their fears of equality and to embrace a more authentic way of being that fosters genuine connections with others. Takeaways - Humans have a deep capacity for egalitarian relating. The narrative of masculinity often promotes competition and dominance. Therapy should be a collaborative space of equality. Men are often conditioned to see vulnerability as weakness. Reframing masculinity involves recognizing the capacity for equality. Equality is not just a concept but a lived experience. The journey to equality requires confronting internalized fears. Men can grow into deeper parts of their nature. Being a good man is about being fully human together. The work of men's development is about realigning with egalitarian values. Sound Bites - "What kind of animal are we actually?" "We're trained to compete." "Being a good man is not about being on top." Mid-Episode Break is brought to you by Distil Union.“You know, on this show we talk a lot about living with purpose — slowing down, paying attention, and being intentional about the choices we make every day.

    Keywords   psychology, debate, societal issues, equality, justice, racism, diagnostic systems, therapy, mental health, resilience Summary This conversation explores the state of psychology, focusing on the lack of serious debate within the field, the challenges of addressing societal issues such as racism and inequality, and the role of diagnosis in therapy. The speakers discuss the medicalization of everyday life, the historical context of psychological practices, and the importance of understanding individuals as whole beings rather than mere categories. They also reflect on the evolution of diagnostic systems and the implications for mental health treatment. Takeaways There is a significant lack of serious debate in psychology. Psychology often avoids discussing major societal issues. The medicalization of everyday life is a growing concern. Psychology tends to focus on individual solutions rather than systemic issues. Racism and institutional biases persist within psychological institutions. Diagnosis can provide comfort but may also mislead individuals. The relationship between therapist and client is crucial for effective therapy. There is a need for a formulation approach over traditional diagnosis.

    Keywords psychology, debate, societal issues, equality, justice, racism, diagnostic systems, therapy, mental health, resilience Summary This conversation explores the state of psychology, focusing on the lack of serious debate within the field, the challenges of addressing societal issues such as racism and inequality, and the role of diagnosis in therapy. The speakers discuss the medicalization of everyday life, the historical context of psychological practices, and the importance of understanding individuals as whole beings rather than mere categories. They also reflect on the evolution of diagnostic systems and the implications for mental health treatment. Takeaways There is a significant lack of serious debate in psychology. Psychology often avoids discussing major societal issues. The medicalization of everyday life is a growing concern. Psychology tends to focus on individual solutions rather than systemic issues. Racism and institutional biases persist within psychological institutions. Diagnosis can provide comfort but may also mislead individuals. The relationship between therapist and client is crucial for effective therapy. There is a need for a formulation approach over traditional diagnosis. Psychology has a history of tolerating race science and needs to address it. Future directions for psychology should focus on equality and justice. Sound bites "We don't see nearly enough debate."

    Creating Psychological Safety: The Key to an Inclusive Workplace

    DEI After 5 with Sacha

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 9, 2025 27:13


    Being a guest on the HCI Podcast gave me the chance to talk about something I care deeply about: how psychological safety becomes the catalyst for workplaces where people can show up fully, speak openly, and actually thrive. At The Equity Equation, this isn't theory—it's the core of the work we do every day with leaders, teams, and organizations who want to build cultures where people feel respected, supported, and able to contribute without fear.Why Psychological Safety MattersPsychological safety isn't a trendy buzzword. It's a real, human need. At its heart, it means people feel safe enough to take risks—ask a question, share a new idea, admit a mistake, or offer a different point of view—without worrying that it will be used against them later.That's the foundation of inclusion. You can have the best policies, the most beautifully designed training, or the most diverse team, but if people don't feel safe enough to speak up, none of it sticks.On the podcast, I talked about how psychological safety has to be an ongoing practice—not something organizations revisit only when there's a crisis or a compliance requirement. It's built through consistent actions, honest conversations, and leaders who understand the impact they have on people's experiences.Where Psychological Safety and Inclusion MeetThere's no way around it: conversations about inclusion have become politicized in ways that often shut people down before the work even begins. But when you strip away the noise, most of us want the exact same thing at work—to be needed, wanted, and valued.Psychological safety is what makes those things possible.When people feel safe, they offer ideas more freely. They speak up about behavior or practices that aren't working. They share concerns before they become issues. They participate fully instead of holding back. This is inclusion in action—not a checklist, not a statement on a wall, but everyday behaviors shaped by trust.And one of the most important outcomes of psychological safety is that it gives people permission to advocate for themselves and for others. Advocacy isn't reserved for certain roles or identities. Anyone can notice when something isn't working for their colleague or their team. Anyone can be part of building a better culture.Allyship Takes More Than Good IntentionsWe also talked about allyship—and how often the word gets misused. You can't call yourself an ally without actually doing the work. Allyship isn't a title; it's a practice. It's a choice to use whatever privilege you have to challenge harm, disrupt bias, and make sure people feel supported.This work doesn't stop the moment it gets uncomfortable. And it doesn't end with a social media post or a corporate statement. Real allyship looks like risk. It looks like stepping in. It looks like asking yourself:“What am I willing to do—or give up—to make sure someone else is treated fairly?”That kind of courage is only possible in environments where psychological safety already exists. The two are inseparable.Equity Requires Understanding People as IndividualsThe conversation turned toward equity, and I shared one of my favorite analogies: raising twins. You may love your children equally, but you don't support them the same way. They need different things to grow.Workplaces are no different.Equality gives everyone the same resources.Equity gives people what they need to succeed.Leaders who understand this spend less time managing tasks and more time understanding the humans doing the work. Employees today want support, coaching, and mentorship—not just direction. They want leaders who can guide, not just supervise.That requires emotional intelligence. It requires curiosity. And yes, it requires psychological safety, because people won't tell you what they need if they don't feel safe doing so.Coaching as a Tool for InclusionOne of the things I emphasize often—both in my coaching practice and in the podcast conversation—is that coaching is one of the most powerful tools for building equitable, inclusive cultures.Mentoring is about sharing expertise.Coaching is about asking questions that help people uncover their own answers.When leaders coach well, they help people make sense of challenges, explore possibilities, and build confidence. Coaching gives people ownership over their growth. And that ownership increases trust—because they don't feel like they're being evaluated; they feel like they're being supported.In a psychologically safe workplace, coaching becomes part of the culture—not just something offered to a handful of high performers. It becomes a way leaders communicate, partner, and stay connected to their teams.Inclusion Benefits EveryoneOne thing I always try to make clear: inclusion isn't about giving to one group at the expense of another. When workplaces become more inclusive, everyone benefits. Collaboration improves. Innovation increases. Retention gets stronger. Relationships deepen.A rising tide really does lift all ships.The goal isn't to center one group over another—it's to create environments where everyone can do their best work without carrying the weight of fear or exclusion.An InvitationIf this conversation resonated, it's because so many organizations are searching for ways to rebuild trust, strengthen culture, and support their people more effectively—especially in uncertain times.Psychological safety is the starting point.It's the key to creating workplaces where people feel grounded, confident, and empowered. And it's the foundation of the work we do at The Equity Equation: assessments, coaching, training, and long-term partnership that helps leaders turn intention into action.If you're ready to explore what psychological safety could look like in your organization, let's talk. The work is challenging, but the impact is real—and lasting. This is a public episode.

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 9, 2025 59:50


    What if the calling inside you never went away because it was never meant to? For French Irish spiritual director Soline Humbert, the answer has always been no. At just 19 years old, she felt a clear, undeniable call to priesthood in the Catholic Church. The problem? She had been taught that only men could be called. No internet. No mentors. No permission. Just a voice that would not be silenced. In this episode of Your Radical Truth, Soline shares the fifty-year journey of living with a vocation the Church refuses to recognize. This is a story of courage that outlasts rejection, faith that survives institutional resistance, and a woman who chose truth even when it came at a cost. Soline is a longtime advocate for equality in the Catholic Church. She co-founded Brothers and Sisters in Christ, now part of We Are Church Ireland, and served as spokesperson for the first international conference on women's ordination in Dublin. Her memoir, A Divine Calling, launched at Trinity College Dublin with a foreword by former Irish president Mary McAleese. You will hear: • What it feels like to carry a calling the institution denies • Why studying women's vocations without listening to women causes real harm • How clericalism turns leadership into power instead of service • Why the exclusion of women functions as spiritual and psychological abuse • The moment Soline presided at Eucharist for the first time and knew she was exactly where she was meant to be This is not just a conversation about women and priesthood. It is about what happens when institutions refuse to listen to lived truth. It is about the cost of silence. And it is about the freedom that comes when one person finally says yes to what they know is real. If you have ever ignored your own calling because someone told you it was impossible, this episode will change the way you see everything. Full post at: www.YourRadicalTruth.com/045-Soline-Humbert

    Creating a partnership in our marriages was the goal when we got married, and yet many of us over the years, end up retreating into a paper marriage, a place where we live in the same space, but we do so as roommates, people who aren't connected. The goal of marriage isn't just to share a house and a washing machine, it's to connect emotionally, to learn how to love another person in a selfless and compassionate way. When we get married with expectations of the other person making us happy and always loving us, we will find it easy to lean out of the relationship and retreat into ourselves, neglecting the relationship. Instead, when we get married with the expectation that we will learn to love cleanly and fully, we will lean in and create a safe space for our partner to do the same.

    Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College

    TigerTalk turns its attention to adult education in Mississippi as Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery meets with Northeast president Dr. Ricky G. Ford for an in-depth look at one of the state's strongest programs. Calvery leads the conversation as Ford highlights how Northeast's award-winning approach serves as a model for colleges across the Magnolia State. Their discussion explains how adult education supports individuals who did not complete high school and often faced setbacks that kept them from earning a credential. Ford outlines why adult education plays a key role in strengthening Mississippi's workforce. Programs focus on literacy and practical work skills that can help drive economic growth, though he notes the need for sustainable funding to meet the scale of demand. Current estimates show 301,301 Mississippians lack a high school diploma, and statewide programs helped 8,465 people reach that milestone last year. Challenges remain significant. Many students enter reading at a third-grade level or below, and 97 percent fall under an eighth-grade learning level. Ford details how programs like Northeast's work to close those gaps and offer a pathway toward long-term success for learners and communities across the state. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.
