Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has commanded headlines over the past few days with a blend of compassion, business savvy, and continued global superstardom. Following the devastating floods in Kerr County, Texas, she landed in San Antonio for a sold-out concert as part of her blockbuster Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which is already lauded as the most successful of her career. Shakira took to Instagram and X to express heartfelt condolences to affected families, saying she was “devastated to hear the news of the flooding, the deaths, and the girls still missing,” and offering her prayers. What set her actions apart was her decision to donate a portion of her San Antonio concert proceeds to disaster relief funds through Catholic Charities, making headlines in Fox San Antonio and Fierce by Mitú for turning the show into “a moment of healing.”Fan accounts and music magazines, including The Heart Sounds, captured the energy outside the Alamodome as fans raved about her performance and her commitment to the community. According to Wikipedia, fundraising was not a one-off gesture—her pledge and outreach were widely praised as an example of a megastar leveraging her platform for urgent humanitarian causes.Business-wise, Shakira has been busy expanding her brand footprint. She made waves on Instagram and in entertainment news by highlighting her new haircare line, Isima, now available nationwide at Ulta Beauty locations. She personally thanked Ulta on Instagram and gushed about the product's look and scent, fueling buzz among her fanbase and beauty followers. According to Geo TV, her recent posts also reflect a spirit of gratitude and personal growth, with Shakira openly sharing reflections on healing after her widely publicized split from Gerard Piqué. She told GQ and Us Weekly that writing music has been her lifeline and that “the healing process is long,” though she's now embracing new beginnings with her sons.Tour-wise, demand continues to surge. Shakira recently announced additional dates in Mexico and the US—including new shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and in Fresno, fueled by overwhelming ticket sales—according to her official Instagram and press outlets. Anticipation is also building over speculation about a UK tour, with industry sources suggesting negotiations are underway for Shakira's first major UK return since 2018.As July unfolds, Shakira stands at the intersection of music, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship, generating headlines for both her onstage triumphs and her offstage empathy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

In today's episode of the Swing Smarter Hitting Training Podcast, Joey Myers dives headfirst into one of the most common (and least understood) roadblocks in youth baseball and softball: the fear of getting hit by a pitch. And this isn't just a “toughen up” pep talk. Instead, Joey blends sports psychology, biomechanics, and real-world drills to help parents and coaches support young hitters through fear—with clarity, compassion, and science-backed strategy. Whether your kid dominates in practice but disappears on game day, or you're just tired of watching talent get hijacked by fear, this is the episode you need.

This podcast is part of the Money Reckoning series.THE IMPACT. Kazu Haga:Is a trainer, educator, student and practitioner with over 25 years of experience in nonviolence and restorative justice. Weaves in lessons from decades of Buddhist practice and trauma healing work to advance social change and collective healing. Is a core member of the Fierce Vulnerability Network, a founding member of the Ahimsa Collective, a Jam facilitator and author of the books Healing Resistance and Fierce Vulnerability. Teaches nonviolence, conflict reconciliation, restorative justice, organizing and mindfulness in prisons and jails, schools, faith communities and activist movements.Has worked on the gift economy for over 15 years. I particularly recommend his Substack, and the article about how the “gift economy is not free.” THE JOURNEY. In our conversation, we explore:Early influences”Depending on the causes and conditions in our lives, we could be so many different people. We could be Trump supporters, we could be prison guards, we could be an incarcerated person… just based on just the factors in our lives.“Big questions “The point isn't to figure it out. The point is to just be with the question, and have faith that at some point, if we listen deep enough, we'll be guided to the most skillful next step. And that's perhaps all we need to know.”The healing work of nonviolence“ What would happen if, in a nonviolent direct action, instead of yelling and chanting, we held a public grief ritual for everyone to witness? What would happen if, instead of leading with our anger, we led with our heartbreak?”Fierce vulnerability“Can we have the spiritual maturity and the capacity to really see the world for what it is and to not collapse under the weight of it?”“The amount of spiritual energy that it takes to constantly suppress a deeper truth that I think all of us are feeling that something is so deeply wrong with our society … it is sapping us. You see the impact, the mental health epidemics, the depression, the sense of isolation. We're constantly using our energy to, to live in this delusion of everything's fine. Don't look, don't look.” Spaces safe enough to look at the reality of this moment“ In a lot of the spaces that I facilitate, we do this activity where we do like check-ins and the first prompt is, how are you doing? And then the second prompt is, how are you really doing? And then the third prompt is, how are you really, really doing? We so rarely have an opportunity to slow down enough, just to say, how am I actually doing, in the midst of post pandemic and war and genocide and polarization and the rise of authoritarianism, and ecological collapse?”Reckoning with capitalism ”People are slowly realizing more and more how unsustainable the capitalist system is. Those are scary moments. Because capitalism is all we've ever known. A lot of us believe that if capitalism fails, there'll be complete lawlessness. So just to create space for people to be with that fear, let them know that the fear is real, it's legitimate. And at some point I think there'll be openness to hear that there are other ways that we can organize society.”The gift economy“The gift economy is one way to really imagine: how do we share resources, distribute resources, manage our shared resources in a way that understands that we are a communal species. It's not through individualism and competition and hoarding that we thrive. We are at our best when we are communal.”“It's  not about how do I make more money so that I can thrive, but how do I make less money so that I have time to invest in the relationships that will really help me thrive?”Running an organization on the gift economy“ I started a nonprofit. We barely did any fundraising. We barely worked with foundations and somehow managed to become sustainable. Partly because we're committed to simple living. But so many things happened that gave me a sense this could work.”

 In this eye-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Lisa Johnson, co-founder of Been There Got Out, a certified domestic violence advocate and high-conflict divorce strategist. Lisa shares how she endured ten years of legal abuse, represented herself in court, and turned her experience into a mission to support others. From recognizing coercive control to navigating family court without a lawyer, this episode breaks down how survivors can shift from feeling powerless to becoming fierce legal self-advocates.   About the Guest:Lisa Johnson is the co-founder of Been There Got Out and a certified domestic violence advocate whose personal legal case is now cited in law journals. She is a speaker, coach, and educator helping individuals trapped in high-conflict divorces and legal abuse scenarios.

Preparation, emotional regulation, and strategic communication are essential for navigating court successfully. Her course From Fear to Fierce in Family Court empowers others with tools to advocate for themselves.

In this episode of the Love Stories podcast, I had the immense pleasure of welcoming David Waldy, the fierce empathy coach, to discuss the transformative power of empathy and self-love. David, a husband, father of four, and former corporate leader, has dedicated his life to helping high-performing men and entrepreneurs break through self-sabotage and lead with courage, clarity, and purpose.Throughout our discussion, we touched on the critical idea that many people struggle with self-love because they often prioritize the needs of others over their own.

In this episode of Nonviolence Radio, Michael and Stephanie speak with nonviolence trainer and educator Kazu Haga about trauma healing and nonviolence — what he calls “fierce vulnerability” (also the title of his most recent book). Because, as he insists, all violence stems from trauma, Kazu reminds us that we cannot simply “shut down” injustice. At the same time, we need to bring trauma healing into our understanding and practice of nonviolence at every level.He says, “But if we can really understand that these [injustices] are all manifestations of a collective trauma, can we respond to even state violence in a way that brings us closer together, in a way that brings us closer to healing?”In this discussion, Kazu points us toward a paradigmatic shift from harm to healing, where interconnection is as constant as gravity — we really can't get around it.Following the conversation with Kazu, Michael and Stephanie speak with Hunter Dunn from the 50501 coalition to debrief on the impact of the “No Kings” rallies and explore, as Dr. King asked, “Where do we go from here?” 

Sean and Amanda start the show by reacting to two huge news headlines from this week, with Denis Villeneuve set to direct the next James Bond film and Aaron Sorkin set to write and direct a sequel to ‘The Social Network' (1:38). Then, they get behind the steering wheel to discuss Joseph Kosinski's highly anticipated action blockbuster ‘F1,' starring Brad Pitt. They talk about how the electrifying filmmaking displayed throughout the racing scenes makes the film worth the price of admission, acknowledge some of its noticeable flaws, and hypothesize whether or not it will perform well at the box office (23:00). Later, Sean is joined by Kosinski, who discusses why this was the most difficult shooting environment he's ever experienced, how he feels about the major studios' relationship to the theatrical experience at large, and much more (1:12:26).

Send us a textIn this episode of Temperature Check: Coastal Edition, host Natalia Sanchez Loayza takes us on a journey into the heart of rural North Carolina alongside Jeanette Tapia, outreach coordinator for the North Carolina Farmworkers Project in Harnett County. We spend the day in the field witnessing firsthand the dedication and determination of a team working to protect the health of the state's most vulnerable labor force: farm workers.With more than two decades of experience and deep roots in her community, Tapia has helped shape a mobile health system that reaches thousands of agricultural laborers across five counties. Whether it's transporting a patient to a dentist visit, checking blood pressure on the roadside, or translating storm alerts into Spanish over WhatsApp, Tapia and her team are redefining what community health looks like under extreme circumstances.As we ride along for a Wednesday outreach shift, we witness the effects of long droughts followed by sudden storms—weather patterns intensified by climate change—on both crops and the workers' physical and mental health. The team faces all-too-familiar barriers: fear of employers, cultural stigma, lack of transportation, and language obstacles. Still, they persist, carrying water, medical tools, and boundless patience as they crisscross dusty fields and rural backroads.Tapia emphasizes that these workers are not victims. They are resilient, resourceful, and wise. But they are also at risk. Rising heat, pesticide exposure, green tobacco sickness, and chronic illness all converge in the fields. “If you don't have health, you don't have work,” Tapia reminds each person she meets. Support the showwww.shoresides.org

“A Fierce Storm & Faithless Men”Mark 4:35-41Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.

Just as we're hitting the 10th Anniversary of Federal Marriage Equality in the US, Dennis is joined via Zoom by Frankie Frankeny, the driving creative force behind the gorgeous and comprehensive new coffee table book Love: The Heroic Stories of Marriage Equality. Frankie recalls how she first became passionate about the cause of marriage equality decades ago, doing entensive research for the book and discovering stories she never knew before and her hope that the book will be available in schools so queer kids can learn their history in a way that her generation never did. She also talks about contributing her own photos to the book and her hopes that, aesthetically speaking, the book will be something two lesbians in Tennessee or the chic designer Tom Ford would be proud to put on their coffee table. Other topics include: the pressure LGBT couples involved in court cases feel to be perfect and the stress that puts on a relationship, attorney Evan Wolfson's emotional Harvard thesis on the topic, boundary-pushing straight allies like Phil Donahue, Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom, her successful career as a cookbook photographer and why she loves that work and coming out for the first time as a kid to her beloved pet dachshund by saying, "I'm going to have a wife one day." www.justmarried.us

The bill, which Gov. Phil Scott is expected to sign, would fundamentally change how the state pays for and governs its K-12 schools.

“In my mind, Belle is going through life, at least our version of Belle – I've never met the real Belle – she's going through life with this hole inside, this overwhelming need for approval, that social media absolutely capitalizes on and she just keeps trying to feed the beast. She hasn't grown up with the healthiest of role models herself. She has learnt that being sick is a shortcut to being loved and to getting attention,” says Samantha Strauss, creator and showrunner for the Netflix limited series Apple Cider Vinegar, about understanding her main character's disgraceful motivation to lie about having brain cancer.  Adapted from the book, The Woman Who Fooled the World, by Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano, Apple Cider Vinegar chronicles the incredible and heartbreaking rise and fall of the real Belle Gibson (Kaitlin Dever), a notorious health and wellness “scamfluencer.” Strauss talks about starting her young life in Australia as a ballet dancer before a terrible injury led her to discover TV writing. She also talks about how her previous TV show, The End, got the attention of Nicole Kidman, who championed her writing career. Strauss gushes about how she was inspired by Kidman's, “Fierce intelligence, just exactly what you'd expect, and rigor. You know, she would be giving notes at the end of a really long day of filming. She wasn't resting on her laurels at all. There's just such a generosity of spirit there and to think she's helped other emerging Australian creatives is pretty special,” she says.  Strauss discusses the challenges of adapting a true story while the subject is still alive, tips and tricks for making the show feel immediate and seductive while mimicking the addictive nature of social media, and getting the primal relationship of mothers and daughters authentic on screen.  To hear more about Apple Cider Vinegar and Strauss's advice for writers adapting true stories, listen to the podcast.

Fierce Firsts Quiz for Big Gay Dance Party Tix by Maine's Coast 93.1

“I always say to young writers, you need to put your heart on the page. Don't worry about being like anyone else. I would say that foremost, in any of the arts, it is self-expression at its core. I don't buy rules or a set criteria or a static criteria. I don't believe in any of that. I think the most exciting talents are kind of inexplicable. You can't really understand why that art works. It just does, and that feels like it comes from a very pure place.I think that it all goes back to childhood. I've always really been writing about family. I suppose we always are. I do think that it is the original wound, and it's where we are kind of wired and built from those early years. So I think every other relationship just replicates that. It's very natural for me to go there, I suppose because the feelings are most intense there. We just keep recycling these relationships and dynamics over and over again—until maybe someday we can catch ourselves and try to break the bad patterns. It feels the most visceral and real to me, always. You're always looking for that in writing. You want everything to be at this peak intensity, or at least I do. That seems the most natural place to start.”Megan Abbott is the Edgar award-winning author of twelve crime novels, including Beware the Woman, You Will Know Me, Give Me Your Hand, and the New York Times bestseller The Turnout, the winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
