Dr. Sian Proctor grew up the daughter of a NASA hidden figure, with the stars in her sights until a pair of glasses at age fourteen seemed to close the door on her dream of becoming a military aviator. She kept reaching anyway, pursuing a career in geoscience and science communication, coming agonizingly close to NASA selection before receiving a rejection that sent her life in a different direction. In this episode, Dr. Sian Proctor talks about the long, winding road from that childhood dream to becoming the first Black woman to pilot a spacecraft; hitting a low point after a painful divorce; and the unexpected creative awakening that ultimately launched her to space. And once she got there, she did what she's always done: made art.

Fr. Mark welcomes Catholic author and speaker Carrie Gress to discuss her powerful new book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity. In this timely conversation, Carrie explains why the feminist movement, rooted in Marxism, envy, contempt for men, and radical autonomy, is fundamentally incompatible with Christian anthropology. She contrasts it with John Paul II's vision of women, complementarity, fruitfulness, and authentic femininity grounded in Scripture and the dignity of the human person. From the historical roots of feminism and its quasi-religious structure to the importance of motherhood, beauty, spiritual maternity, and the genius of women as life-givers, this episode offers clarity and hope for rebuilding a culture that honors the true gifts of men and women. A must-listen for anyone navigating today's gender debates, marriage, family, and the role of women in the Church and world.

In the heat of summer, I pause at the crossroads,lighting a candle in the sacred cauldron of my heart.I listen to the whispers of my soul,as dreams coalesce and possibilities take form.I stand in the center of my own life,where I extend my hands to touch the infinite fieldthat carries and holds me in each moment.I breathe in the ordinarygifts of life,the bright sky above me, the solid earth beneath me,the squirrel's dance, the fox's crossing,the falling star's blazing message.Grant me the courage to show up,the willingness to notice and see,to love the ordinary and trust itas my pathway to the sacred.In this living practice of presence,magic, mystery, and meaningcoalesce.

Mon Laferte and Francisca Valenzuela are both Chilean singer-songwriters using their platforms to draw attention to important issues while creating meaningful change. From Mon walking a red carpet in 2019 at the Latin Grammys, bare-breasted, with words calling out femicide, to Francisca’s founding of Ruidosafest, the all-Latina music festival and research platform, the two women are working hard to change the game. In today’s episode of Latino USA, we speak to both of them about feminism, their music, and how the ghosts of Chile’s musical past guide them to keep pushing for change.

From the time she was a little girl, Hayley Paige knew exactly what she wanted to do: design wedding dresses. And she did it. By her early thirties she had a million Instagram followers, a recurring spot on Say Yes to the Dress, and gowns selling in hundreds of stores worldwide. And then she lost all of it. Her name. Her Instagram. Her right to design. Even her right to publicly call herself Hayley Paige. What followed was years of fighting in court, broke, locked out of everything she had built, just to reclaim what should have been hers from the start. And when she finally did, she turned that experience into something bigger, founding A Girl You Might Know Foundation and She Is Cheval to make sure other women don't have to go through the same thing.

Description:  In a time of climate catastrophe, genocide, mass incarceration and political turmoil, people need to work together – better! That's why lifelong activist Dean Spade has written “Love in a F*ed Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell, Together”. Which tools can help people and social justice movements face conflict and emerge stronger (rather than weaker)? Which stories do we tell ourselves that aren't helping us think — or act — in our best interest? In this timely conversation, Spade shares tips on how we might get our interpersonal houses in order so that we're better equipped to show up for others and the causes we care about. Spade is a lawyer, educator, and author of “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)”, and “Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics and the Limits of the Law”. He's the director of “Pinkwashing Exposed: Seattle Fights Back!”, and in 2002 he founded the Sylvia Rivera Law Project in New York City, a law collective that provides free legal services to trans and gender non-conforming people who are low income and/or people of color. He has useful things to say about romance too, which are worth bearing in mind, as the Valentine's marketing crush hits, as Laura reflects in her commentary. “. . .

Should Men Still Get Married? Feminism and Red-Pill Bitterness Are Destroying the Family Why are so many young men asking, "Why should I get married?" After decades of feminism attacking marriage as oppression, a growing number of men are now embracing the opposite error. The manosphere, MGTOW movement, and red-pill influencers often preach a message of fear, bitterness, and withdrawal from marriage. Different rhetoric. Same result. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon and Zach Krugler tackle one of the biggest questions facing Christian men today: Is marriage still worth it? They examine feminist attacks on marriage, critique the growing anti-marriage sentiment in the manosphere, break down surprising statistics about marriage, and show why God's design for marriage remains essential for faithful Christian men. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and practical experience, they make the case that marriage is not a trap to avoid but a calling to embrace.

Segment 2 • Christians often hear God's commands as restrictions, but what if they are actually the key to flourishing? • Feminism promised freedom and happiness—so why are many women reporting the opposite? • Marriage, children, work, and family are under attack. What priorities are quietly replacing them? Segment 3 • A viral abortion decision sparked outrage across the internet—but what deeper worldview was exposed? • What happens when personal comfort becomes more valuable than human life? • The Down syndrome debate reveals a painful question: how much sacrifice are we willing to make for others?

Judy Darcy's memoir, Leading From the Heart, chronicles her battles as a feminist, a union leader and a politician from the 1960's until today. Judy joined Ian Mass in November to talk about those both personal and political battles.

A new masculinist movement has gone mainstream on the right. The prominent voices in this movement yearn for an earlier time, when men were men and women were women. Sometimes that time seems to be the 1950s, like when Tucker Carlson extols a world where men go to work and women stay at home. But sometimes it goes way farther back. The pastor Doug Wilson advocates household voting, in which men vote for their wives. And Costin Vlad Alamariu, better known as Bronze Age Pervert, harks back to the Bronze Age — specifically the ancient Hittite and Mitanni Empires. Helen Lewis wrote a recent cover story for The Atlantic about this new antifeminist backlash, which she calls “the single most important force holding together the American right.” So I wanted to have her on the show to talk about these ideas, the political program of this movement and how seriously we should take it. Lewis is a staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of “Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights” and “The Genius Myth.” This episode contains strong language.

We've been told to lean in, speak up, ask for the raise, and take up space. But what happens when doing everything right still isn't enough? Journalist and financial expert Stefanie O'Connell joins Jean to talk about her deeply researched new book, The Ambition Penalty: How Corporate Culture Tells Women to Step Up — and Then Pushes Them Down. In this conversation, Jean and Stefanie dig into why the girlboss era failed us, why women are penalized not for a lack of ambition but because of it, and what we can actually do about it. They cover: Why being fluent in the language of empowerment is not the same as actually being empowered How the ambition penalty follows women outside the workplace  Why you can't outwork inequality, but you can outorganize it What it really takes to build a life where your ambition is championed, not penalized And if you loved today's conversation, don't miss Jean's new book, The Forever Paycheck — your guide to building a secure, steady income stream that lets you actually enjoy the retirement you've worked so hard for.

Send us Fan MailToday we are rereleasing our episode on Persepolis to commemorate the life of Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Iranian-French writer, artist, filmmaker, and human rights advocate whose work transformed personal memory into a powerful act of witness. Satrapi died on June 4, 2026, at the age of 56, leaving behind a body of work that helped readers around the world better understand Iran, exile, identity, and the enduring importance of freedom.Born in Iran in 1969, Satrapi rose to international prominence with Persepolis, her groundbreaking graphic memoir about growing up during the Iranian Revolution and its aftermath. Told through stark black-and-white illustrations and an unforgettable narrative voice, Persepolis brought history to life through the eyes of a child and later a young woman navigating political upheaval, cultural displacement, and the search for self. The book became a global bestseller and was later adapted into an award-winning animated film that Satrapi co-directed.Throughout her career, Satrapi remained a fearless advocate for artistic expression, women's rights, and democratic values. "The real issue for me is human rights, it's the freedom of expression," Satrapi said in an interview. Satrapi's final book, Woman, Life, Freedom (2024) continued her life's work of amplifying issues and voices others wished to silence. Her family attributed her death to sadness over the loss of her husband a year prior.

Patricia Delgado: From Principal Ballerina to Tony Award Winner Growing up Cuban-American in Miami, Patricia Delgado found her love of performance early and spent seventeen years with Miami City Ballet, a decade of that as a principal dancer.

In this episode, Patricia opens up about the physical and emotional toll of stepping away from the only identity she had ever known, how she found her way into choreography alongside her husband Justin Peck, and what it meant to reconnect with her Cuban roots through the Broadway hit Buena Vista Social Club, leading her to be the first Latina to win a Tony Award for Best Choreography.

This is a major part of the fertility crisis. Feminism has made women value independence above all else, and when it comes to getting married and having kids, it's no longer "logical" to get a husband if a woman is making money. In fact, the more money women make, the less likely it is that they'll have children...which is the complete opposite of men. It's almost like feminism was designed to destroy the family or something. Hm... Dive into this conversation with Danica Patrick and Orion Teraban and find out what feminism is doing to women who decide to value the marketplace over the home.

This episode examines a case that sits at the uneasy boundary between criminal adjudication, media power, and moral authority: the prosecution and execution of Aileen Wuornos, labeled the “first female serial killer. We look at two documentaries by Nick Broomfield—Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer (1992) and Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003)—alongside the feature film Monster (2003), written and directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Charlize Theron in an Oscar-winning role. Broomfield's documentaries are less about guilt or innocence than about process: who controls the narrative, how legal representation operates, and what happens when a defendant's life becomes an object of transaction, between lawyers, media, and the public. The films also penetrate the issues around the application of the death penalty in the United States, and the problems that arise when the state seeks to executive individuals who are themselves victims and suffer from severe mental illness. Monster  approaches the same facts through dramatization. It also raises important questions, including how far context should matter in judging criminal responsibility and construction of narratives around crimes.Timestamps:0:00   Introduction2:58   Capturing law on film5:24   The two Nick Broomfield documentaries11:16   Addressing Aileen Wuornos's murders14:04  The flawed defense strategy18:47  The depiction of Tyria Moore (Aileen Wuornos's girlfriend20:55  Selling the Aileen Wuornos story23:09  The theme of the “monster”28:29  Themes of betrayal and self-defense31:53   Nick Broomfield and an outsider view of the American legal system34:56  Mental illness and the death penalty37:39  Media coverage of sensational murders 39:22  Failures of the legal process44:26  A critique of the death penalty47:00  Exoticization in the filmsFurther Reading: Cavanaugh, L.

Connor Beaton breaks down the cultural narrative that's convinced boys they're faulty from birth, how fatherlessness and job market discrimination created the perfect storm, and why suppressing emotions doesn't make you stronger, it makes you fragile. Mike opens up about losing his mum at 11 and how that shaped every relationship since, never processing the grief properly, just getting on with it. Connor explains how unprocessed pain doesn't stay quiet, it sabotages your relationships, your business, your health until you deal with it. The conversation covers why male guides matter more than therapists for men with father wounds, how emotional consistency beats sexual polarity in relationships, and why confronting hardship is how you actually mature instead of staying stunted.00:00 Introduction01:55 Addressing struggles faced by young men today06:32 Cultural perception of masculinity affecting men11:53 Gaming and other distractions are hindering ambition20:58 Effects of losing a parent on emotional development26:26 Processing grief and emotional expression30:51 Importance of processing pain for mental health38:10 Recognising when professional help is needed44:30 Gender of therapist influencing therapeutic outcomes50:11 Navigating vulnerability in relationships with women56:13 Pushing gender roles and their societal impacts1:09:52 Influence of social media on relationship dynamics1:25:14 Feminism's impact on modern gender relations1:30:08 Misleading influencer messages on masculinity1:35:21 Redefining what it means to be an alpha male» Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/» Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/» My clothing brand, THRST - https://thrstofficial.com» Discover Bioniq Lab peptide products- https://bioniqlab.com/mike1010% off with code MIKE10» Join our newsletter for actionable insights from every episode: https://thrst-letter.beehiiv.com/» Join Whoop and get your first month for free - join.whoop.com/FirstThingsThrst» Follow ConnorInstsagram: https://www.instagram.com/mantalks/?hl=enWebsite: https://connorbeaton.com/

Florence Welch sells out stadiums performing what she calls "rituals." Millions of young women describe her concerts as the closest thing to a religious experience they've ever had. And across TikTok and Instagram, a generation of women is turning to witchcraft, astrology, and alternative spirituality - not as a joke, but as a lifeline. So what's going on? Modern feminism promised women that career success, financial independence, and bodily autonomy would be enough. But for a lot of women, they weren't. And when those promises fall short, people start looking for meaning somewhere else - in ritual, symbolism, and spiritual searching. That's where this conversation starts. I'm Kristan Hawkins, and this channel is where I'm going to do the hard work: breaking down the biggest myths, unpacking the cultural lies, and digging into the questions everybody seems to be asking but nobody wants to answer. We'll go deeper into the stories behind the headlines, the ideas shaping our culture, and the beliefs that are quietly influencing the way women think about power, purpose, and fulfillment. This isn't just commentary. It's a community. So if you're here for real conversations, big questions, and deep dives that don't pull punches, follow and join me here.
