It's time to ask for the expansion you KNOW you're ready for. Today, I'm bringing you my keynote speech from the 2025 Powerhouse Women Event, where I got on stage to reflect back on my journey of expansion, of remembering, this past year. I share the moment everything transformed and I gave myself the permission to come home to the most authentic version of myself I've ever felt. I also guide you through how to listen to your intuition, even when things feel uncertain or scary, in order to find the truth of who you are and who you are meant to be. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 How I came home to the most authentic version of myself. 03:25 What was the moment that transformed everything for me? 06:05 My Powerhouse moment of discovering what true freedom means. 08:40 How to move forward into abundance and find your truth.

Expansive dub vibrations from the On-U Sound maestro. Adrian Sherwood has spent nearly five decades reshaping how dub is heard and felt. From absorbing reggae and funk as a teenager at the Newlands Club in High Wycombe to cofounding On-U Sound in 1979, he's been a restless force in British sound system culture. His debut production, Dub From Creation, signalled his instinct to twist the Jamaican form into bold, experimental directions. That spirit defined On-U Sound, where reggae collided with post-punk, industrial and synth pop to forge a catalogue still unlike anything else. Sherwood became a crucial bridge, producing for legends like Prince Far I, Bim Sherman and Lee “Scratch” Perry, while also working with Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails and Sinéad O'Connor. His RA Mix (yes, you read that right) arrives at a moment of renewal—RA.1001 is the first in a new era for the series. (After 1,000 editions of the RA Podcast, we're updating the name to better reflect what it's become.) Recorded at his Ramsgate studio, the 76-minute mix folds in cuts from The Collapse Of Everything alongside material from across the On-U Sound universe, plus collaborations with Panda Bear, Sonic Boom, Coldcut and Spoon. It's Sherwood doing what he's always done: stretching dub into endless new shapes. Find the interview and tracklist at ra.co/podcast/1019
In May of 2024, Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed historian Manisha Sinha, author of THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SECOND AMERICAN REPUBLIC: Reconstruction, 1860-1920. In the interview, Manisha explained her idea that Reconstruction is a defining moment in the history of American democracy. She also asserts that Reconstruction was unwinding until 1920, ending with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote--and which Sinha calls the "last Reconstruction amendment."Manisha Sinha is the James L. and Shirley A. Draper Chair in American History at the University of Connecticut and a leading authority on the history of slavery and abolition and the Civil War and Reconstruction. She is also the author of The Counterrevolution of Slavery: Politics and Ideology in Antebellum South Carolina and The Slave's Cause: A History of Abolition.

Are you holding on to things in your life from a place of ego and fear? In this walk-and-talk from Mexico City, I share a raw life update on what happens when you stop clinging to what isn't aligned and finally let go. I discuss the fine line between surrender and giving up, and why letting go of ego attachments allow space for synchronicities, manifestations and trusting in the unfolding. I've lived this process and as I've gone through it, the energy of my life has completely flipped. New projects, dream collaborations, and aligned connections rushed in as soon as I created space. From wellness-optimized homes to major brand conversations, it's been one of my most expansive weeks yet. This episode is your reminder to let go with your ego, and only stay close to what your heart, essence and soul knows is your truth.
We went DEEP at this year's Powerhouse Women event and I said it from stage, but this was the most expansive event we've done so far. In this episode, I'm sharing what was different about this year, why your triggers are powerful guides, and how to unlock your next level by trusting your intuition. This conversation is a reminder that expansion usually doesn't look like you think it will. It might even have you completely rethink how you think about growth. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 What was different about this year's Powerhouse Women Event? 04:05 What makes getting in the room so expansive? 07:20 Why we added a third day to the Powerhouse Women Event. 10:40 How this year pushed me to deepen my intuition. 14:20 A sneak peek into the 2026 Powerhouse Women Event!

New York based composer Cassie Wieland first unveiled her ambient songwriting project she calls Vines in 2023. Now she's released a full LP under the name Vines – that record, called I'll be here, is full of atmospheric, textural washes of sound and processed vocals that suggest a story rather than actually telling you one. The live version of Vines includes an unusually-constructed ensemble: Wieland on keyboards, synths, vocoder, and vocals, Adam Holmes on a Sensory Percussion Kit, and Adrianne Munden-Dixon on violin. Vines plays some of these inviting, cinematic song-scapes, in-studio.Set list: 1. Evicted 2. Tired 3. I am my home
Today, Ceri is joined by Dr Livia Alexander a Brooklyn based curator, writer and professor of Visual Studies at Montclair State University whose curatorial work bridges continents, disciplines and philosophies. Her work lives at the intersection of contemporary art, film and expanded media with a focus on artists and practices from Southwest Asia and North Africa. She is co-founder of Arte East and has contributed to and supported curatorial programmes for the Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, the Brooklyn Museum and the digital screen programme at Moynihan train station in New York. Livia reminds us that visionary work often happens out of sight, slow, durational and deeply relational. This episode is a master class in curating as care infrastructure and expansive thinking. KEY TAKEAWAYS Livia´s use of diverse mediums and explorative, nuanced approach uncovers the quietly radical and overlooked perspectives. By prioritizing thoughtful exploration over spectacle, Livia enables us to engage more meaningfully with the world and its challenges. Be true to your values but know when to let go. Have humility, recognise that your perspective is just one of many, and be open to other possibilities. Explore interactive media and gaming, they have great potential and allow audiences to interact with stories in new ways. BEST MOMENTS “We need to create those spaces to have conversations between unusual suspects - between the banker and the artist.” “Creativity isn't just about output. It's about asking better questions, slower ones, ones that resist spectacle and lean into complexity.” “Livia´s work makes space for friction, for paradox, for multiplicity. She invites us to listen across disciplines, across cultures, across power structures, without rushing to resolution.” RESOURCES https://www.livalex.net @liviajalexander PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Applied Behavior Analysis is often boxed into narrow stereotypes—and controversy—but what if the real story is far bigger, more collaborative, and more humanistic than you think? Join Dr. Jessica Kendorski and Ray Christner for a candid conversation that busts myths, clarifies what ABA truly is (and isn't), and explores how behavior science radically transforms not only the lives of neurodivergent kids, but entire systems—from families to schools and healthcare. They dive into the ethical essentials, why collaboration and creativity matter more than compliance, and how principles of behavioral science intersect with trauma-informed, neuroaffirming, and systems-based practice. Whether you're a longtime clinician or new to ABA, this episode brings practical, immediate takeaways you can use—and a fresh perspective on building better outcomes for your clients, your practice, and yourself.To hear more and stay up to date with Paul Wagner, MS, LPC and Ray Christner, Psy.D., NCSP, ABPP visit our website at: http://www.psychedtopractice.com Please follow the link below to access all of our hosting sites. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2007098/share “Be well, and stay psyched” #mentalhealth #podcast #psychology #psychedtopractice #counseling #socialwork #MentalHealthAwareness #ClinicalPractice #mentalhealth #podcast

A veritable staple of the Japanese scene and founder of the Protection label, Haruka joins our series with two hours of delightful, liquiform groove recorded live from Kyoto. Expansive yet dialed in with tireless precision, Haruka's set transitions between eyes-down introspection and buoyant, infectious energy with ease. To witness this level of craft enveloped by such a warm and vibrant aura is an absolute pleasure, and it's easy to imagine oneself suspended weightless in Haruka's element. Thank you Haruka! @haruka_ptc Artwork by Camille Ferdinandus.
Ukraine's Expansive "Fiscal Laws" Clause International sovereign bonds, and particularly those issued under English law, often include a clause providing that payments are subject to the applicable "fiscal and other laws." Usually, the clause makes clear this refers to fiscal laws in the “place of payment” (e.g., Luxembourg). Separately, international bonds also provide that, if the issuer imposes any taxes on bond payments, it must "gross up" payments to foreign investors, so the tax does not reduce their payments. Together, the two clauses usually immunize foreign investors from taxes imposed by the issuer but leave room for taxes imposed by the place of payment. Ukraine's bonds are different. They seem to leave room for Ukraine to impose its own "fiscal" law on payments. Arguably, they leave investors subject even to local laws that aren't fiscal in nature. Might this be a source of leverage for the country in its negotiations with GDP warrant holders, who have so far refused to make concessions in restructuring talks? Producer: Leanna Doty

This Sagittarius Full Moon near the Galactic Center invites you to illuminate the stories you believe about yourself, your purpose, and what's truly possible in your life and leadership. Are your beliefs empowering or limiting? Personal or inherited? Expansive or outdated? In this episode, Leslie unpacks the contagious nature of belief and why monocultures in society, in systems, and even in your own thinking can quietly deplete your potential. Drawing from Malcolm Gladwell's Revenge of the Tipping Point, Hawaiian star knowledge, and the fiery astrology of this Full Moon, you'll explore what it means to nurture a polyculture of truths, where many paths and voices matter.

You get to define "small" and you get to choose the size and quality of your life. The point is to craft a way of being that allows you feel safe, at home, and joyful in your body and life.I talk about why we need to do the inner and outer work at the same time. The inner work might include things like getting to know your True self, learning a practice of self-compassion, building skills to support naming and honouring your boundaries, and so on. The outer work is what I offer in my Life Visioning Course. It creates the gentle structure or scaffolding of your life that supports your inner work. Or that supports you in being your True Self and thriving, flourishing, or showing up fully to life in each new season.So many people assume they are "wrong" somehow if they try to change their old patterns but struggle to maintain the healthier changes. The reality though is that very often they are attempting to create positive change WITHOUT the supporting structures. And this sets them up for discouragement and giving up.My work offers you the inner and outer work of learning to truly love and value yourself alongside the systems, rhythms, practices and habits that create the scaffolding of a sustainable and soul-honouring life.The Life Visioning Process - take the course*: The Life Visioning Course (reg $790): $490 June Only | A Life In Progress*for a limited time, you can get teh course FREE when you join the B+B Community for a full year!

The first week of June brings two major blessings as Venus, planet of love and beauty, and Jupiter, planet of expansion, shift into Taurus and Cancer respectively. Why is this so major? These are the benefic planets, planets that want to affirm, expand, and help us out - going into signs of their rulership and exaltation. In English, this means that these planets will be functioning at their highest, juiciest expression. That's a net positive for you, me, and our society at large.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody — one of the most emotionally resonant voices in UK music. Gary delves into the making of The Forest Is The Path — Snow Patrol's chart-topping, critically acclaimed eighth studio album. Expansive, cinematic, and deeply reflective, the record marks a powerful creative resurgence for the band, now over 30 years into their remarkable journey. The conversation also explores Gary's debut book of the same name — a raw and moving memoir written in the aftermath of his father Jack's passing. Touching on themes of grief, memory, home, and healing, the book offers a deeper look into the emotional landscape that shaped the album. In this intimate and revealing interview, Gary opens up about the creative silence that followed loss, the moment songwriting returned, and the spark that led to both the book and the record. He also shares exclusive details about Snow Patrol's brand new single featuring a surprise guest, what's coming next for the band, and their highly anticipated Belsonic show in Belfast this June.

In this stirring new collection, he reimagines the experiences of Black Civil War soldiers—including his own ancestors—who enlisted in the Union army in exchange for emancipation.Moving chronologically from antebellum Kentucky through Reconstruction, Walker braids the voices of the United States Colored Troops with their family members, as well as slave owners and prominent historical figures from Abraham Lincoln to Frederick Douglas and Margaret Garner. Imbued with atmospheric imagery, these persona poems and more “[clarify] not only the inextricable value of Black life and labor to the building of America, but the terrible price they were forced to pay in producing that labor” (Khadijah Queen). “How do you un-orphan a people?” Walker asks. “How do you pick up / shattered black porcelain and make / a new set of dishes fit to eat off?”While carefully attuned to the heartbreak and horrors of war, Walker's poems pay equal care to the pride, perseverance, and triumphs of their speakers. Evoking the formerly enslaved General Charles Young, Walker hums: “I am America's promise, my mother's song, / and the reason my father had every right to dream.” Expansive and intimate, Load in Nine Times is a resounding ode to the powerful ties of individual and cultural ancestry by an indelible voice in American poetry. Winner of the 2025 PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry. A native of Danville, Kentucky, Frank X Walker is the first African American writer to be named Kentucky Poet Laureate. Walker has published thirteen collections of poetry, including Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evers, which was awarded the 2014 NAACP Image Award for Poetry and the Black Caucus American Library Association Honor Award for Poetry. Voted one of the most creative professors in the south, Walker coined the term “Affrilachia” and co-founded the Affrilachian Poets Collective, the oldest continuously running predominantly African American writing group in the country. He is a Professor of English, and Director of the MFA in Creative Writing program the University of Kentucky.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 311: Jacques Jouffret, ASC Netflix's American Primeval plunges viewers into the harsh realities of a gritty, naturalistic Western winter. Cinematographer Jacques Jouffret, ASC, who shot all six episodes, collaborated closely with director Peter Berg to immerse the audience in the era's unforgiving environment. “That was really a lot of hard work. Pete wanted the audience to feel the difficulty of living in that period,” says Jacques. “He wanted to feel the dirt, dust, grime and the ugliness of it and the violence of it. And I tried to get into that spirit. My job was to really make the audience feel that coldness, the chill that you are open to the elements.” Jacques wanted the audience to feel the cold of American Primeval's harsh winter setting, even as the production continued into summer. One of the most significant challenges was maintaining a consistently overcast sky, and there were few interior locations. During the wintertime, it was easy to shoot wider to get the overcast sky, but the weather was constantly changing. Dutch angles worked not only as a stylistic choice, but also to help hide the sky when it wasn't overcast enough. The crew would strategically shoot close, shoot in the shade, or block the sky with silks. Portraying visceral realism is an important element of Jacques and Berg's collaborations. They have worked together before on films such as Novocaine and Mile 22. “That's one thing that I love working with Pete,” he shares. “You're making the audience feel that this is real, you are watching something that is right there and I'm able to suspend that disbelief. And so that's really always the approach, to make it as real as we can. And yet I'm giving it some style to present more of the emotion, more of the mood, the atmosphere, and where I want the audience to be.” To achieve a blend of raw reality and stylistic emotional depth on American Primeval, Jacques adopted a focused visual strategy, inspired by the legendary director Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick would choose just four or five strong visual ideas, and then repeat them over and over for visual impact. For the series, Jacques established his own core visual tenets: Expansive vistas: Super wide shots to take in the vastness of the Western scenery Dynamic Dutch angles: Wide and close dutch camera angles to increase the feeling of discomfort and danger, while still including visuals critical to the story Intimate compression: Lenses with long focal lengths that compress the image, allowing the audience to be with the character in the moment Juxtaposition of extremes: A deliberate contrast between wide, long shots with everything in focus, contrasted with close-ups on the actors with a wide angle lens. This created a visual language emphasizing the harsh environment, and Jacques avoided medium shots.
