THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside is reminding us that hope is a verb! Yes, it's about taking action, but it's also something that we are asked to cultivate within. If we are going to bring great change, we must remember that the change we bring is different than how leadership was modeled before. In a patriarchal society, we focus on hierarchy. In matriarchal society, we focus on the community. We lead in circle, TOGETHER. Remember that your hope is meant for you, but it's also the thing that sustains and energizes the work that you're bringing in the communities that you live and work inside of. Your leadership isn't about a title... it's about your participation. I also did a three card pull for us today as the energy of our collective feels like we're running quite the gambit, from feeling like we're in the valley, perhaps waiting in the middle or we're on the mountain ready to share what we've been working on! Rose Card Reading (begins at 21min): Share your light! We need your joy, passion and what you're creating. It's going to spark and fuel you, but it's also a beacon to others who are feeling like they're in the valley AND it's going to call in partners who may want to join or collaborate with you to bring your vision forward. Yarn Ball Reading (begins at 26min ): It's time for you to focus on the mystical wisdom you're here to bring. Focus on where you're headed and who your medicine is meant for. Following your instincts will also lead you into regular commitment and discipline to ushering in what you're here to bring forward. Rose Bud Reading (begins at: 35:40min): You're being asked to stay right where you are. You're being attuned and guided to wait at this time. This waiting is FOR YOU. Let your guides remind you of your strength. Be in this moment as it will fuel the momentum you're craving in the long run. 2026 PLAYLIST: Each week of 2026, I'm selecting a song that resonates with the message of that particular Fireside Friday. Today's Fireside Song: "Hope" by NF. Check out the full playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/41b2woCYZCZXpDc1oCasZk?si=8dcd67ec022c49a9ABOUT: Welcome to a Fireside Friday Recording.

Anthony reacts to the sobering reports from the start of the New League Year. Jordan Raanan (ESPN) and Ian O'Connor (The Athletic) are both reporting that the New York Giants are "slamming the brakes" on free agency after their initial $130M flurry. With the team reportedly pivoting away from mid-tier guards and operating on a "modest" budget, we have to ask: Is this roster ready for 2026? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside is shifting from the belief that we're rebelling against a system to understanding we're actually ushering in a revolution! Both words carry great impact, but to rebel feels forbidden/hidden and perhaps even impossible, whereas I feel that a revolution feels expansive/possible and far-reaching. If you're here listening to these messages you are here to be part of the revolution that is taking place, it does mean some rebelling against old ways of believing... but it also feeds us and sustains us to remember that the changes that are pressing up against our soul are here to usher in this new way of BEING before doing. Don't just do something... sit there

Settle in by the fire, my darling. Tonight's story is “The Striding Place,” a haunting short tale by Gertrude Atherton, first published in 1896 in The Yellow Book, the same decadent literary magazine that helped shape the gothic and fin‑de‑siècle imagination. In this eerie little classic, a man searches for his missing friend along a lonely riverbank at night; only to discover something waiting in the dark water. It's a story built on atmosphere, silence, and a final reveal that has earned it a quiet cult following among lovers of ghostly fiction. Thank you for joining me by the fire. Let the night settle around us… ❤️ ~ This is your cozy, soft‑spoken sanctuary for comfort, calm, and quiet storytelling. Through gentle narration, atmospheric worlds, and dream‑soaked lore, I create a warm space for rest, grounding, and emotional ease. ❤️ This channel is for you, my darling. I've walked through depression myself, and I show up with stories that soothe, companion, and connect. All readings are from the public domain, and all worlds are offered gently.

This week on NAFC, the crew juggles sports, anime, cooking, and near-electrical death before diving into pure action indulgence.They start with a bit more Winter Olympics chatter before Gibbs checks back in on Culinary Class Wars, because competitive cooking drama apparently never gets old. The idea of a cinematic version of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 gets floated, and suddenly everyone's casting imaginary actors.Mox talks about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and issues a cautionary warning about Mewgenics that sounds less like a review and more like a public service announcement. He also shares his fireside cooking restaurant experience, which may or may not have changed him spiritually.Izzy recounts his latest home wiring mishaps during renovations before diving into a Madoka Magica rewatch in preparation for the new movie. Emotional damage incoming.Finally, the crew dives into One Percenter (2024)—lean, scrappy, and self-indulgent in all the ways action fans secretly love.Support us on Patreon!

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside is about being honest... how are you feeling? It's okay if you're feeling uncertain, scared, or just wondering what the heck is going to happen. You don't have to be strong, you can allow yourself to feel it all. Making room for what's transpiring within you IS how you lead. Transforming and transmuting energy is how we keep from transferring that energy. Another important message for today came from some indigenous wisdom that I saw shared via Facebook where we're reminded that this time that we're walking through is something that we chose and we get to choose now whether we'll let this be a portal we walk through or a hole we fall into, the choice is ours! 2026 PLAYLIST: Each week of 2026, I'm selecting a song that resonates with the message of that particular Fireside Friday.

Fireside Project is a nonprofit that helps reduce the risks of psychedelic experiences through a free support line, coaching, education, and research. In this episode, Joshua White speaks with Psychedelics Today about why real-time support matters, what it takes to run a national hotline, and what Fireside learned after more than 30,000 conversations since launch. White shares how his background as a lawyer and his early hotline volunteering shaped Fireside's model. He also describes how festival harm reduction work, including lessons from Zendo-style support spaces, revealed a major gap: people often need help during an experience and after it ends. A major focus of the conversation is Lucy, Fireside's new voice-to-voice role-play simulator designed to improve psychedelic support skills through low-stakes practice. Early Themes With Fireside Project Joshua White introduces Fireside Project as an accessible safety net for people who are actively having psychedelic experiences or processing past ones. The support line launched on April 14, 2021, and relies on trained community volunteers who commit to a year of service. White explains why anonymity matters. He argues that a phone-based container can make it easier for callers to share vulnerable material without fear of judgment. He also frames service as a key part of integration for volunteers who want to give back or prepare for work in the psychedelic field. Core Insights From Fireside Project White describes the early difficulty of building Fireside from scratch, including legal design, insurance hurdles, training development, and fundraising. He credits seed support from David Bronner and Dr. Bronner's for helping Fireside prove that people would actually use a psychedelic support line. He also explains a key harm reduction point: calling emergency services during a non-medical psychedelic crisis can escalate risk. Fireside aims to help people regulate, re-orient, and stay safer when panic or fear shows up. Key concepts discussed include: The thin line between healing and traumatizing during high-intensity psychedelic states Why callers often need connection, not rescue How volunteer capacity and call volume shape how long conversations run The difference between support during an experience and longer-term coaching support Later Discussion and Takeaways With Fireside Project The conversation then turns to Lucy, a training tool White describes as a "flight simulator" for psychedelic practitioners. Lucy is not part of the live support line. Instead, it offers emotionally responsive role-play scenarios so trainees can practice staying grounded, tracking consent and boundaries, and responding to crisis cues. White also addresses recording and consent. He argues Fireside needs strong training feedback loops to improve safety and quality. He describes an anonymization approach designed to remove phone numbers, strip identifying details, and distort voices while preserving emotional tone. He also explains the post-call option for callers to delete their recorded conversation. Practical takeaways include: Simulation can help trainees stay regulated when intense material emerges Better training can reduce unnecessary diversion to emergency rooms Clear consent language and easy deletion workflows matter for trust Coaching can expand the continuum of psychedelic support beyond therapy
