In this episode, Julia speaks with Varsha, a WE Explorer, about discovering that her Essence of motherness is a powerful anchor for how she leads. She was part of the Women Emerging expedition for women leading in India, in partnership with Buzz Women. Varsha shares how she had never thought intentionally about leading until she realised the models she had been exposed to didn't match who she was. Growing up in a matrilineal family, she saw a form of leading that was shared, facilitative, caring but also clear and confident. The Expedition helped her name this Essence and understand that motherness is not a limitation, it is leadership. She talks about Energy; how leaders generate it by checking in on teammates, reminding teams of purpose, celebrating small and big wins, and at times stepping in with her own raw Energy when everyone else is depleted. And she is honest about the boundaries needed to protect that Energy, including saying no and switching off. Varsha also speaks of India's many feminine archetypes- nurturing, fierce, strategic - and how dismissing motherness at work dismisses the very source of strength and Energy that she brings. Her leadership, she's learned, lingers in the people she supports, the belief she builds, and the care she normalises. This episode reminds us that when women lead from who they truly are, they sustain not just themselves, but everyone around them. About the Guest: Dr Varsha Pillai leads Gender Diversity and Advocacy for Women in Manufacturing at Tata Electronics, working to strengthen workplace cultures and progression pathways for women. With over two decades in communications, her passion for exploring how media shapes gender and social change led to a PhD in Gender Advocacy in Digital Media from Symbiosis International University. Recognised with fellowships in India, the Netherlands, and Geneva, and named a Changemaker by Change.org India, Varsha brings both lived insight and analytical rigour to advancing equality in organisations and beyond.

RiskCellar is back with episode 70, marking a major milestone for hosts Brandon Schuh and Nick Hartmann as they dive into the most pressing insurance broker consolidation trends shaping 2025. The episode kicks off with major industry news on the Baldwin and CAC merger, a billion-dollar deal that reflects ongoing consolidation in the insurance brokerage space. While the acquisition comes in smaller than recent mega-deals, the merger creates what Baldwin calls the largest majority colleague-owned publicly traded insurance broker, signaling continued market consolidation and M&A activity that benefits independent brokers.The hosts explore critical developments in insurance technology and autonomous vehicle safety, including Tesla's recent sensor and camera upgrades designed to improve their self-driving system performance in challenging conditions. The conversation reveals how insurance industry players are monitoring autonomous vehicle advancements, telematics driver monitoring programs, and commercial auto liability trends, including the growing use of cameras and driver scoring to reduce claims. They also discuss the implications of unlimited liability insurance in the UK market and significant pricing differences in Canadian insurance, where casualty risk pricing can be 40% lower than US market rates.A major highlight involves the Rad Power bike battery recall and CPSC safety concerns, where the federal agency issued a unilateral opinion declaring all RAD batteries defective without conducting independent testing. The hosts debate the fairness of this regulatory action, noting that Rad Power faces potential bankruptcy from a million-unit recall despite only 31 documented incidents causing $750,000 in cumulative damage. The episode also covers Lloyd's of London CEO John Neal's resignation following an inappropriate workplace relationship scandal, insurance industry news on Ryan Specialty's new public sector MGU launch, Howden's aggressive hiring expansion, and a playful segment on insurance truths and lies featuring alien abduction coverage.Tesla's autonomous vehicle technology still lacks adequate camera systems compared to competitors like Waymo, delaying full self-driving capabilityTelematics and driver monitoring are becoming essential risk management tools for commercial auto liability, despite employee privacy concernsCPSC regulatory actions can devastate companies without scientific testing, raising questions about fairness and due process in product safety decisionsInternational insurance markets show dramatic pricing variations, with Canadian and UK markets offering 02:00 Thanksgiving Turkey Cooking Methods & Holiday Stories 03:30 Episode Celebration & Drinking Toast 04:35 Baldwin & CAC Merger: $1B Insurance Broker Consolidation 09:25 Ryan Specialty's Public Sector MGU Launch10:00 Public Sector Insurance Competition & School Bidding Challenges 11:15 Canadian Insurance Market & International Pricing Differences 14:15 Tesla Autonomous Vehicle Camera Upgrade Challenges 16:00 Chevrolet Diesel Truck & Frank Cruz Shout Out 16:30 Howden Hiring Expansion & Legal Costs Impact 8:50 John Neal Lloyd's CEO Scandal & AIG Withdrawal 21:40 New Zealand Kiwi Cultural Reference & Gender Diversity in Insurance 23:25 Rad Power Battery Recall & CPSC Regulatory Overreach 26:00 Battery Incident Statistics & Scientific Method Concerns 28:15 Dog Interruption & Personal Stories29:10 Don Julio Tequila & Podcast Memorabilia 31:30 Alien Abduction Coverage Predictions for 2026 32:50 Recall of the Week: Ozark Trail Camping Stove 35:25 Upcoming Guests & Litigation Funding Panel Discussion Connect with RiskCellar:Website: https://www.riskcellar.com/Brandon Schuh:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552710523314LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-stephen-schuh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schuhpapa/Nick Hartmann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjhartmann/

In this episode of YourForest Podcast, host Matthew Kristoff is joined by Kelly Cooper, founder of the Free to Grow in Forestry initiative, and Greg Herringer, chair of the Canadian Institute of Forestry's DEI leadership team. Through honest and eye-opening conversation, they unpack why change is so difficult, highlighting deep-rooted resistance, fear of change, and power dynamics that hold progress back. Kelly shares her personal experience of being excluded from the very DEI work she was leading, while Greg reflects on how bias shows up in both personal and professional spaces.

"Ever feel like reality is more twisted than dreams?"The Wives Colangelo are closing out Pride Month by introducing Harmony to the punk rock cinematic world of Gregg Araki and celebrating 30 years of THE DOOM GENERATION. Sometimes being a teenager feels like looking down the end of the world, and no one understands that feeling quite like Xavier Red, Jordan White, and Amy Blue. Let's talk about this middle finger to American conservatism, pro-polyamory, bisexual disasterpiece. This isn't queer as in "love is love," but it is most certainly queer as in f*ck you.----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----MONTHLY SUPPORT SPOTLIGHTalQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity and Queers in Palestine (https://alqaws.org/)----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"It's a first-year college party. Everyone's gay."This week The Wives Colangelo are joined by the ultra-hilarious D.J. Mausner to talk about their prom night comedy, PROM DATES! It's time to learn how this movie came to be, hear about the real-life inspirations behind the characters and absolutely wild scenarios these two best friends get themselves into, and honor the high school experiences of idiot pervert teenagers still figuring themselves out everywhere. It's bonkers, it's gay as hell, and it's a conversation you won't want to miss.----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----MONTHLY SUPPORT SPOTLIGHTalQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity and Queers in Palestine (https://alqaws.org/)----Follow Our Guest!@djmausner on IGCatch a show at UCB! https://ucbcomedy.com/shows/los-angeles/----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Lumen is a queer, trans, multiply neurodivergent, chronically ill, and disabled person based in Naarm. Lumen is passionate about neurodivergence, gender, queerness, disability and accessibility, making systemic change, and (in their words) neuroqueering the heck out of things! We cover a lot in this chunky ep! Including: What neurodivergence means to Lumen and how to respond to when people say, ‘don’t make this your whole identity!’ Lumen’s path to discovering their own neurodivergence. Definitions: Lumen takes us through the difference between sex, gender, and sexuality. Lumen’s gender identity and their path to exploring and discovering this. Ways that Lumen experienced gender incongruence and dysphoria, and how they reclaimed connection to self. When an eating disorder is stemming from gender dysphoria. The interplay between gender diversity, neurodivergence, and other aspects of their identity for Lumen. What does gender affirming care look like and myths about gender diversity and trans-ness that get in the way of this care. Reflecting on gender affirming language. Lumen’s tips for those exploring their gender.

"Why would God make us all so different if he wanted us to be the same?"The incomparable Sarah Marshall makes her mighty return to discuss one of the best films of the 2000s, the religious satire SAVED! Together with The Wives Colangelo, the trio discusses repression, queerness, being filled with Christ's love, a perfectly written script, cool pastors, teenage pregnancy, and why we all wish we were as cool as Cassandra Edelstein.----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----MONTHLY SUPPORT SPOTLIGHTalQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity and Queers in Palestine (https://alqaws.org/)----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----Follow Our Guest!Listen to Sarah Marshall at You're Wrong About and You Are Good----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"I love self-loathing complaint rock you can dance to."It's Harmony's birthday and whatever baby wants, baby gets, so we're upgrading Amy Heckerling's LOSER from the Sadie Hawkins Dance episodes on the Patreon and bringing Jason Biggs and co. to the main show! Let's talk about why so many people misunderstand the loveliness of this story, why Greg Kinnear should be in the villain hall-of-fame for his performance as Professor Alcott, sing the praises (again) of Mona May's costume design, and debate whether or not Everclear is secretly an emo band.----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTalQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity and Queers in Palestine (https://alqaws.org/)----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
