Podcasts about Equality

Stefan Molyneux draws on nearly 25 years of marriage to outline principles that can improve partnerships of all kinds. He stresses equality and teamwork in both personal and work relationships, and recounts his time managing a team where he focused on serving others. He points to methods like 360-degree reviews as ways to encourage honest feedback and self-awareness, reminding people to think about how their behavior affects those around them. He also talks about the role of shared value in any relationship and the importance of regular self-examination to prevent things from getting stuck. In the end, he suggests putting these ideas into practice to strengthen bonds and keep growing personally.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

In this episode, we look at what happens when artificial intelligence is put in charge of real-world systems, starting with an experiment in automated pricing and what it reveals about incentives, scarcity, and control. We turn to Denmark's decision to shut down its national postal service, using it to examine the decline of physical mail, environmental tradeoffs, and why government monopolies struggle to compete with private delivery. We highlight the week's “foolishness,” including the rise of competitive spreadsheet championships, before turning to a broader discussion about inequality. We examine IQ distributions, bell curves, and why inequality is often confused with poverty, exploring the limits of measures like the Gini coefficient, the difference between snapshot and lifetime earnings, and the role of incentives, envy, and value creation. We close by contrasting equality of opportunity with equality of outcome and asking what societies should actually care about when assessing fairness and prosperity. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:27 AI Runs a Vending Machine at the Wall Street Journal 01:52 When AI Meets Communism and Price Controls 03:52 Why AI Isn't Replacing Humans Anytime Soon 04:32 Denmark Shuts Down Its Postal Service 06:11 Is Physical Mail Environmentally Absurd? 07:39 Why the Postal Service Can't Compete 11:43 The Foolishness of the Week: Excel World Championships 13:25 Are Spreadsheets More Important Than Football? 15:08 Main Topic Setup: Should We Care About Inequality? 16:13 IQ, Bell Curves, and Random Distributions 23:05 Why Inequality Is Not the Same as Poverty 25:36 The Gini Coefficient and Its Limits 28:57 Sports, Superstars, and Value Creation 38:00 Taxes, Transfers, and the Illusion of Inequality 41:57 Lifetime Earnings vs Snapshot Inequality 45:14 Equality of Opportunity vs Equality of Outcome 49:30 Envy, Incentives, and Human Motivation 53:38 Closing Thoughts on Inequality and Society Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode Summary    In this inspiring episode of WarDocs, we are honored to feature the extraordinary journey of Retired Army Brigadier General Clara Adams-Ender. Rising from humble beginnings as one of ten children born to sharecroppers with limited formal education, she defied expectations to become a trailblazer in military medicine. Her story is a testament to the power of education, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Although she initially dreamed of becoming a lawyer, she honored her father's wishes to attend nursing school, a decision that launched a remarkable 34-year career culminating in her service as the 18th Chief of the Army Nurse Corps.    BG(R) Adams-Ender shares powerful anecdotes that defined her leadership philosophy, starting with her first assignment as a Second Lieutenant in an ICU. She recounts a tragic incident involving a Marine shot by a friend during horseplay, a moment that taught her the stark difference between "book learning" and the practical responsibilities of an officer to care for the discipline and safety of troops. She also details the grit required to become the first woman to earn the Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB). Refusing to settle for the lower physical standards set for women at the time, she marched the full 12 miles alongside her male counterparts, proving that competence knows no gender.   Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes the evolution of the Army Nurse Corps from a workforce viewed merely as labor to leaders in healthcare policy and administration. She discusses her time as an educator during the Vietnam War, mentoring students facing the draft and ethical dilemmas. General Adams-Ender passionately argues for the necessity of nurses having a "seat at the table" in healthcare leadership, noting that without a voice in policy, the profession cannot control its destiny. As the Army Nurse Corps approaches its 125th anniversary, she reflects on the core values of clinical excellence, administration, research, and education (CARE), offering timeless advice for the next generation of military medical professionals.   Chapters (00:00-06:40) From Sharecropper's Daughter to Nursing School (06:40-11:45) A Tragic Lesson in Leadership and Troop Welfare (11:45-17:15) Breaking Barriers to Earn the Expert Field Medical Badge (17:15-22:42) Educating Nurses During the Vietnam War Era (22:42-37:55) The Power of Policy and Having a Seat at the Table (37:55-45:34) Core Values and the Legacy of the Army Nurse Corps   Chapter Summaries (00:00-06:40) From Sharecropper's Daughter to Nursing School The guest discusses her family background, emphasizing her parents' deep value for education despite their limited schooling. She shares how she initially aspired to be a lawyer but followed her father's directive to attend nursing school, eventually discovering a passion for the challenge the profession provided. (06:40-11:45) A Tragic Lesson in Leadership and Troop Welfare Reflecting on her first assignment at Fort Dix, the guest describes the transition from academic theory to the practical realities of military nursing. She recounts a harrowing story of a young Marine shot due to horseplay, which served as a pivotal lesson on an officer's responsibility to maintain discipline and care for the troops beyond clinical duties. (11:45-17:15) Breaking Barriers to Earn the Expert Field Medical Badge The conversation shifts to the guest's historic achievement as the first woman to earn the EFMB. She details her determination to meet the same physical standards as the male soldiers, including marching 12 miles instead of the required 8 for women, viewing the grueling training as an opportunity to prove her capabilities. (17:15-22:42) Educating Nurses During the Vietnam War Era The guest describes her time as an instructor at Walter Reed, where she taught students from diverse backgrounds. She highlights the challenges of mentoring nursing students during the Vietnam War, helping them navigate their fears and obligations regarding deployment to a combat zone. (22:42-37:55) The Power of Policy and Having a Seat at the Table Moving into administration, the guest explains how she learned that writing good policy allows a leader to influence far more outcomes than hands-on care alone. She stresses the importance of nurses securing leadership roles to ensure they are in charge of their profession's destiny and not merely following orders from others. (37:55-45:34) Core Values and the Legacy of the Army Nurse Corps As the 125th anniversary of the Army Nurse Corps approaches, the guest reflects on the enduring values of the profession, using the acronym CARE. She concludes with a dedication to her mentors and offers advice to current nurses on maintaining standards and commitment to the mission.   Take Home Messages Leadership Requires Practical Adaptability Success in military medicine often requires unlearning the rigid structures of "book learning" to adapt to the practical realities of the environment. True competence is demonstrated not just by clinical knowledge, but by the ability to handle unexpected situations and the human dynamics of the troops under one's command. The Responsibility of the Officer Extends Beyond Patient Care A medical officer's duty is not confined to the hospital bed or the clinic; it encompasses the overall welfare, discipline, and safety of the soldiers. Preventing tragedy through discipline and looking out for the troops is as vital as treating the wounds that result when safety protocols fail. Equality is Proven Through Standards Breaking barriers and earning respect often comes from a refusal to accept lower standards based on gender or background. By voluntarily meeting the more rigorous requirements set for counterparts, a leader demonstrates resilience and capability that silences doubters and inspires the team. Influence Through Policy and Administration While direct patient care is the heart of medicine, long-term impact is achieved by securing a "seat at the table" in administration and policy-making. Writing effective policy allows a medical professional to guide the hands of thousands of others, shaping the destiny of the profession and improving care on a systemic level. Total Commitment to the Profession Medical service is difficult, demanding work that requires a full "all-in" mentality. The key to longevity and success is to make a firm decision to commit to the profession; once that decision is made, energy should be directed toward the mission and patient care rather than complaints or negativity.   Episode Keywords Clara Adams-Ender, Army Nurse Corps, EFMB, Expert Field Medical Badge, Military Medicine, Leadership, Women in Military, Black History, Vietnam War Nursing, Walter Reed, Nursing Education, Healthcare Policy, Mentorship, WarDocs, Army General, Brigadier General, Nursing Administration, Military History, Veteran Stories, Medical Podcast Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

STARMER'S BANANA REPUBLIC | HE MUST BE DEPOSED  #Starmer #BananaRepublic #UKPolitics #BBCBias #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #FreeSpeech #HateCrimeLaws #BBCBias  Today's live show lays out the case that under Keir Starmer, Britain is being reshaped away from constitutional democracy and toward something far more dangerous — a system where power flows downward from the state, not upward from the people.  This is not about personality. It's about how Starmer governs, what he tolerates, and what his system incentivises . We examine how Starmer's leadership is marked by: • Elections treated as an inconvenience rather than a mandate • Governing while sidelining or ignoring the House of Commons • Abandoning manifesto commitments once power is secured • Criminalising "offensive" political speech • Expanding police powers through vague and subjective hate crime laws • Undermining trial by jury in favour of administrative efficiency • Handing Ofcom sweeping control over online speech • Regulating dissent via unelected bodies instead of Parliament We also address selective enforcement and cultural engineering: • Ideological "re-education" of boys on misogyny • While ignoring or downplaying Pakistani grooming gangs • FGM, forced marriage, sectarian coercion, and parallel legal cultures • Equality before the law replaced by political fear and silence And the wider system surrounding Starmer: • Media narrative control and framing, especially the role of the BBC • Loyal but incompetent appointments beneath the leadership • Weakening of the family and replacement with the state • Denial and rewriting of British history as shame • Expansion of welfare dependency to create political compliance • Use of foreign war — Ukraine / Russia — as moral cover and domestic distraction This is not left vs right. It's Keir Starmer vs democratic consent. What does "deposed" mean? It means politically removed — through Parliament, party mechanisms, elections, and sustained lawful public pressure. Not violence. Not chaos. Democracy correcting itself before it's too late.  If you think this case is wrong, challenge it. If you think it's exaggerated, defend the record. But don't pretend this is normal.

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

The Minister for Children, Disability and Equality, Norma Foley, has announced two action plans aimed at making childcare services more affordable.

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

​​Today, the Prime Minister Keir Starmer has written in the Guardian Newspaper urging members of the British Medical Association to rethink planned strikes. ​​ ​​Possible strikes coincide with flu-related illnesses and hospitalisations at a higher rate than usual for this time of year, which have led to worries that a strike would lead to problems for the NHS. ​​ ​​Also, Laura has spoken to the new chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson.

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]

Most people claim they want equality, partnership, balance, and mutuality. 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. Re-interpret conflict cycles as covert attempts to break equality and restore a familiar hierarchy.

Join us for a compelling conversation with Lucy Aharish, the groundbreaking journalist, news anchor, and actress who became the first Arab-Muslim presenter on mainstream Hebrew-language television. In this episode, Lucy speaks candidly about racism, discrimination, identity, and what the future of Israeli society could look like. With her trademark honesty and courage, she reflects on her personal journey, the barriers she's broken, and the urgent need for genuine equality and shared humanity. A powerful and thought-provoking dialogue you won't want to miss.

We dive into the harrowing reality of femicide and gender-based violence, questioning the role of patriarchal societies and religious dogma in upholding the subjugation and objectification of women. 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). Finally, we explore whether legislative changes—such as Italy defining femicide—truly address the core cultural problem of pervasive gender oppression.News Source:Italy Implements Femicide Law and UN Report on Global Violence Against WomenBy [Author not provided] for CNN and YouTube[Date not provided]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This episode examines a fundamental tension in political philosophy: should we focus on leveling the playing field or on where people actually end up? Advocates of equal opportunity argue it preserves freedom and rewards merit while respecting individual choices. Critics contend that without addressing outcomes, opportunity remains illusory for those born into disadvantage. Dhruva and Utkarsh consider whether genuine equal opportunity is even possible when starting points differ so dramatically. We also explore what the evidence on social mobility reveals about our current systems. Tune in to join this wide-ranging conversation about fairness, freedom, and the practical implications of each approach for how we structure society.

Yale constitutional law professor Akhil Reed Amar's second book in a trilogy is titled "Born Equal: Remaking America's Constitution, 1840-1920." In Professor Amar's introduction, he writes: "Millions of Americans can recite by heart Lincoln's opening line at Gettysburg. But how many of us understand it?" "This sentence," Professor Amar continues, "sits at the very center of this book." Akhil Amar, born in 1958 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, was raised in California. After law school at Yale, he clerked for Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, and became a junior professor back at his alma mater at age 26. Learn more about your ad choices.

Indigenous communities are often invited to participate in the conversation about access to their sacred sites but rarely do their interests prevail. Time and again, their input is received and yet made subordinate to competing interests from corporate powers, scientific pursuits, and even recreation.  Michalyn Steele joins Lindsay Langholz to discuss how the law could be changed to reorder existing values and give greater weight to Indigenous interests in sacred sites.Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.orgHost: Lindsay Langholz, Senior Director of Policy and ProgramGuest: Michalyn Steele, Marion G.

SCOTUS just delivered a win for marriage equality. After nearly a decade of appeals, lawsuits, and national drama, the Supreme Court has officially declined to hear Kim Davis' case challenging gay marriage… leaving the original ruling in place and the former county clerk on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
