In today's episode, we have a special guest, Sarah Kobrus, who has extensive experience living abroad and working with NGOs. She is currently the affiliate director of Families in Global Transition.Sarah joins us to discuss the concept of emotional logic and how it can help us navigate through times of loss and grief when living a globally nomadic life. She also tells us about her book, "Good Grief: Transforming Loss into Hope and Resilience for the Globally Nomad," and the community it was written for. Sarah shares valuable insights on the importance of acknowledging and processing grief, how different cultures approach it, and how emotional logic can be a practical tool to help us cope and grow. 

In this episode,  we speak with Dr. Ruth Van Reken who is the co-authour of Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, 3rd ed., and author of Letters Never Sent. We explore Third Culture Kids (TCKs)—which refers to people raised in cultures different from their parents' and who spent formative years in diverse environments. We delve into the psychological, social, and relational impacts, addressing identity, belonging, challenges, and the incredible advantages of a cross-cultural upbringing. These benefits encompass a broader worldview, enhanced cross-cultural intelligence, and heightened adaptation skills.About Ruth: Ruth Van Reken is a second-generation Third Culture Kid* (TCK) and mother of three now-adult TCKs. She is co-author of Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, 3rd ed., and author of Letters Never Sent, her personal journaling seeking to understand the long-term impact of her cross-cultural childhood. For more than thirty years Ruth has traveled extensively speaking about issues related to the impact of global mobility on individuals, families, and societies. She is co-founder and past chairperson of Families in Global Transition.  In addition to her two books and many articles, she has written a chapter in other books including Strangers at Home, Unrooted Childhoods, and Writing Out of Limbo.  In 2019 she received an Hon. Litt.D from Wheaton College for her life's work. SWebsites:crossculturalkid.org  (Personal Website)crossculturalkid.org/blog/  (Blog)

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, hosts Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley discuss various energy-related topics. They highlight Chevron and Exxon opting out of funding the Cop 28 Methane Reduction Fund, emphasizing the challenge of achieving significant contributions. The show covers the surge in copper prices due to risks and shortfalls in Panama mines, impacting the minerals market. The discussion also delves into the high repair costs of electric vehicles (EVs) compared to traditional cars, attributing it to the complexity of EVs and the scarcity of repair expertise. The hosts touch on Germany's economic struggles due to high energy costs and conclude with a graphic illustrating the challenges of the global energy transition, emphasizing the need for collaboration and realistic solutions.Highlights of the Podcast00:00 - Intro02:36 - Chevron, Exxon opt out of funding COP28 methane-reduction fund05:18 - Copper climbs to 11-week high on Panama mine risk, shortfall07:58 - Why Repairing Your EV Is So Expensive11:06 - Germany is the sick man of Europe – and the prognosis is grim13:20 - The Dangerous Futility of the Energy Transition in a Single Graphic16:26 - Markets Update19:40 - OutroPlease see the links below for articles that we discuss in the podcast.Chevron, Exxon opt out of funding COP28 methane-reduction fund(Bloomberg) — Six major oil companies each contributed tens of millions of dollars to a grant fund meant to help state-owned rivals cull the release of super-warming methane emissions, but Chevron Corp. and Exxon Mobil […]Copper climbs to 11-week high on Panama mine risk, shortfallCopper advanced to the highest level in 11 weeks on concerns over the looming shutdown of a large mine in Panama and amid expectations of a widening ore supply deficit in 2024.

The guest on this episode is U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral Rebecca Ore. I have benefitted from her mentorship over the years, so it was such an honor to have her on the podcast to amplify her voice and wisdom. Rebecca Ore talks to us about the phenomenon of third culture kids, her international experience, and developing her guiding principles. We talk more about the power of those guiding principles, how to foster psychological safety, attract and retain the right talent. We further explore the idea of dissecting career development from leadership development that Adam Gierlach presented on a previous episode. Rebecca illustrates powerful leadership lessons all throughout the episode and models her first guiding principle of people first with a continual focus on feedback, creating curiosity, and constant learning. She closes with emphasizing that it is important to be excellent where you are at and to be authentically yourself.  Rear Admiral Ore assumed the duties of Assistant Commandant for Intelligence (CG-2), in August 2022. As Head of Intelligence Community Element and Service Cryptologic Component Commander, she  provides strategic leadership for the Coast Guard Intelligence Program encompassing collection activities, analysis and production,  information technology and security functions for geospatial, signals and human intelligence. In her previous assignment as Commanding Officer and Captain of the Port at Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach, she facilitated regional partnerships and led a team of 550 active duty, reserve and civilian personnel, and a 1,200 member volunteer Auxiliary workforce. Her team was responsible for safeguarding the marine transportation system flowing through the vital ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. As the Federal On-Scene Coordinator for the Pipeline 00547 Response in October 2021, she led a team of 1,800 personnel to mitigate oil affecting northern Mexico and the counties of Orange and San Diego. Rear Admiral Ore holds a Bachelor of Science from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and a Masters of Public Administration from Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a National Security Affairs Fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and a German Marshall Fund Marshall Memorial Fellow.

As parents, we have the best of intentions and we want our children to thrive in the midst of transitions. However, we're also dealing with our own roller coaster of emotions and so many other things. In this episode, we help you reflect on what you can do to support your TCK (and yourself better).   For instance, as a TCK parent, you might ponder questions like:   How do you comfort your children who might be excited to move for the first time, but who also feel the deep loss for everything they're leaving behind?   How do you prepare them emotionally to say goodbye to their friends?   In today's episode, we're exploring parenting tips for TCKs, and I have the pleasure of being joined by Dr. Ruth Van Reken. As a TCK, Dr. Ruth has had a rich life with numerous cultural experiences but it wasn't until her thirties she realized the amount of loss that came with this lifestyle.   The loss of home, identity, and loved ones. This loss led to significant grief which we spoke about in depth in Part 1: Unresolved Grief and How to Overcome it. It is in part 1 that we learn Dr. Ruth's tool for overcoming this unique, unspoken grief.   Dr. Ruth is a second-generation Third Culture Kid, a mother of three adult TCKs, co-author of Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, 3rd ed., and author of Letters Never Sent.    For over thirty-five years, Ruth has traveled extensively, speaking about the impact of global mobility on individuals, families, and societies, including what we now refer to as Cross-Cultural Kids (CCKs)—children who grow up cross-culturally for any reason. She is a co-founder and past chairperson of Families in Global Transition.   Ruth's research and writing have given a voice to TCKs and helped all who support them make sense of their experiences and help them use it to their advantage. As we approach the time of year I like to call the "great migration," when our TCKs say goodbye to their friends and move to new places, us parents are bound to feel a roller coaster of emotions. As an adult TCK, raised by a TCK, and a  parent to TCK's Ruth has a plethora of knowledge we can all learn from. Here are some highlights that Ruth shared with me: The biggest mistake parents make with their TCKs The best way to emotionally prepare your TCK to say goodbye Cultivating traditions as a way to help your TCK find identity Journaling as a way to process emotions Adapting to a new language as a TCK If you know a family who is preparing to move, I encourage you to share this episode with them so that they can absorb the immense knowledge Dr. Ruth has on helping TCK's make sense of their experiences.   Just remember, you are not alone in this experience.

Imagine this: Bernard's family was enjoying a ski vacation in the Alps when news broke out about Russia's attack on Ukraine. Little did they know that this seemingly ordinary ski trip would mark the end of their familiar life in Moscow. Their house, their beloved pet, and for Bernard's teenage son, his serious girlfriend—everything would soon become memories.   Such scenarios are not uncommon for Third Culture Kids (TCKs), who often face sudden evacuations and uprooting from their familiar environments. As parents, we naturally focus on the positive aspects of this global lifestyle, which we discussed in last week's episode with Michael V. Pollock. However, it's equally important to support TCKs the best we can through these life-changing transitions.   In today's episode, we're exploring unresolved grief, and I have the pleasure of being joined by Dr. Ruth Van Reken. Ruth is a second-generation Third Culture Kid, a mother of three adult TCKs, co-author of Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, 3rd ed., and author of Letters Never Sent. For over thirty-five years, Ruth has traveled extensively, speaking about the impact of global mobility on individuals, families, and societies, including what we now refer to as Cross-Cultural Kids (CCKs)—children who grow up cross-culturally for any reason. She is a co-founder and past chairperson of Families in Global Transition.   Ruth's research and writing have given a voice to TCKs and helped all who support them make sense of their experiences. I myself discovered the term TCK (Third Culture Kid) while pregnant with my first child and I can attest to the profound impact David and Michael Pollock and Ruth Van Reken's research and writing has had on me.  When my family moved to Zimbabwe, I devoured their book "Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds" during the flight and was moved to tears by some stories and her insights. Since then, I have made it a personal mission to validate the emotional journey that ‘living among worlds' represents.  As we approach the time of year I like to call the "great migration," when our TCKs say goodbye to their friends and move to new places, us parents are bound to feel a roller coaster of emotions.

Brasileiras que vivem no México realizam trabalhos voluntários para diferentes organizações. Além de apoiarem causas importantes, elas contam que a atividade ajuda na familiarização com a vida fora do Brasil. Larissa Werneck, correspondente da RFI no México Em uma busca rápida na internet por programas de voluntariado no exterior, é possível encontrar uma grande quantidade de projetos e organizações que realizam trabalhos voluntários em diferentes regiões do mundo, que oferecem às pessoas a possibilidade de contribuir para ações que vão desde o desenvolvimento de comunidades desfavorecidas até programas de proteção ao meio ambiente. As vantagens são muitas, tanto para os beneficiários dos projetos, quanto para os voluntários.  Além do sentimento de ajudar quem necessita e de colaborar para a transformação social, ser voluntário fora do Brasil traz muitos benefícios, entre eles, a possibilidade de conhecer novas culturas e novos costumes, o aprendizado de um idioma e a criação de novas relações sociais, sejam elas profissionais ou pessoais. No caso de famílias expatriadas ou em transição, as vantagens vão além: o voluntariado pode ser um grande aliado no processo de adaptação à vida em um novo país. Foi o que aconteceu com a Karla Machado, mineira de Belo Horizonte que mora no México há treze anos. “Quando a gente chega no México, como expatriada, a gente tem muito tempo ocioso, né? E, logo que eu cheguei, eu fui apresentada um grupo de brasileiras que já faziam um trabalho voluntário na Abrame, que significa Amigas Brasil-México. Esse grupo realizava encontros para arrecadar dinheiro, produtos de limpeza e alimentos para abrigos que necessitavam de assistência. Além de fazer voluntariado, esses encontros são uma forma para a gente se enturmar e de receber dicas sobre o novo país, como informações sobre médicos e serviços, por exemplo”, afirma. Os anos foram passando, e Karla começou a se envolver ainda mais nos projetos, assumindo novas funções a cada ano. Hoje, ela é coordenadora da Abrame, organização que atualmente direciona o trabalho para dois abrigos: um para pessoas idosas e outro para crianças e jovens em situação de pobreza que foram afastados das famílias por questões de violência e abuso. “A Casa Hogar San Francisco, que fica em Toluca, no Estado do México, era um lugar muito precário, sem armários nem camas para as crianças dormirem. Além disso, elas não tinham como levar merenda para a escola. Com o trabalho das nossas voluntárias, conseguimos fazer reformas na casa e organizar doações de alimentos, que são realizadas mensalmente. Eu fico muito feliz porque algumas das crianças que nós conhecemos aos 8 anos de idade já estão na universidade”, conta Karla. Já o trabalho no Asilo Emanuel, localizado em Coacalco, também no Estado de México, começou há dez anos. Atualmente, vinte homens e mulheres vivem no lugar, que necessita de reformas urgentes. “Sempre ajudamos com doações de dinheiro, alimentos e produtos de higiene. Agora, vamos apoiar na reforma do asilo. Uma brasileira que é arquiteta está fazendo o projeto sem custo e nós vamos levantar os recursos para as obras”, diz a coordenadora da Abrame. Famílias brasileiras apoiam fundação para crianças com câncer Outra organização que recebe o apoio de famílias voluntárias brasileiras no México é a Fundación Mark, criada há 16 anos pela mexicana Sonia Zuani. A fundação leva o nome do seu filho, diagnosticado com leucemia, aos seis anos de idade. “Inicialmente o tratamento do Mark foi em um hospital público do México e, infelizmente, eles não cuidavam da parte emocional das crianças internadas. Eles não permitiam que elas levassem jogos e não havia espaços lúdicos de atividades direcionadas para elas. A fundação foi um sonho do meu filho, que quis criar um lugar para que crianças,como ele, pudessem brincar e se divertir. Ela foi constituída no mesmo dia em que ele faleceu. Esse foi o seu legado”, diz Sonia. Atualmente a Fundación Mark possui sete brinquedotecas em hospitais públicos que tratam de crianças e adolescentes com câncer. Quatro deles estão na Cidade do México. Os outros estão em Toluca, no Estado do México, em Villahermosa, capital do estado de Tabasco, e La Paz, que fica no estado de Baja Califórnia Sul. Nesses espaços, além das crianças poderem brincar com os jogos e brinquedos, são oferecidas atividades físicas, pedagógicas e cursos de bem-estar emocional para as famílias e profissionais de saúde. “Temos o apoio de muitas empresas, mas o voluntariado para a nossa fundação é indispensável. Nesse sentido, eu posso dizer que metade da nossa bandeira é brasileira, porque as famílias brasileiras nos apoiam muito, não apenas com doações de brinquedos, roupas e alimentos, mas na organização de eventos e, principalmente, na mobilização para novos voluntários”, afirma a presidente e fundadora da Fundación Mark. As paulistanas Ellen Negrão e Desyrre Beber estão entre essas famílias. Ambas vivem no México há cerca de dez anos. “Eu conheci a Fundación Mark através da minha cunhada, que é mexicana. E na festa de seis anos da minha filha nós doamos todos os presentes que ela ganhou para as brinquedotecas. Foi assim que eu comecei a me envolver. Hoje, graças ao voluntariado, eu tenho contato com realidades que eu não tinha no Brasil, e ajudo a uma causa importante. Além disso, quando eu cheguei, ajudou a ocupar meu tempo e a criar amigos e oportunidades”, salienta Desyrre. Ellen foi uma das convidadas da festa. Hoje ela é uma das principais mobilizadoras do grupo formado por cerca de 40 brasileiras que apoiam a fundação, com doações de brinquedos no Natal, realização de festas, quermesses e venda de produtos. Em maio deste ano, por exemplo, a Fundación Mark recebeu a doação de milhares de cápsulas de café expresso. Em apenas um dia, as brasileiras venderam cerca de cinco mil. “Eu sempre trabalhei como voluntária, desde a minha adolescência no Brasil. E quando eu cheguei ao México eu conheci a fundação e me encantei pelo trabalho da Sonia. Fiz curso nos hospitais para trabalhar nas brinquedotecas e me orgulho muito do que já fizemos. Mobilizamos muitas famílias e empresários brasileiros para a causa. Infelizmente com a pandemia os eventos foram suspensos, mas este ano, voltaremos com uma grande festa para os adolescentes. Pra mim, o mais importante, também, é poder passar essa mensagem para os meus filhos”, diz Ellen. Voluntariado para o mercado de trabalho Além de ajudar na adaptação das pessoas que vivem fora do Brasil e de ter uma função social importante, o trabalho voluntário é um caminho, também, para brasileiros que buscam recolocação profissional no exterior. Segundo Carolina Porto, que trabalha como consultora e voluntária da ONG Families in Global Transition, que oferece apoio às famílias em transição, o voluntariado é um primeiro passo para a criação da sua rede de relacionamento profissional. “A principal ferramenta para alguém que está mudando de um país para outro é criar uma rede de relacionamentos para se adaptar melhor. E se você tem o objetivo de buscar um trabalho, uma posição de voluntariado pode te ajudar bastante nisso porque, provavelmente, você vai conhecer pessoas com interesses em comum aos seus. Ou, também, pode ser a oportunidade de você aprender alguma coisa nova. Você estará fazendo o bem para o próximo e para você mesmo”, explica ela. Além disso, segundo Carolina, é preciso, primeiro, entender a cultura de voluntariado do país onde você vai viver. “O voluntariado é visto de maneira diferente em cada país. Na Holanda, por exemplo, quase 80% da população realiza algum tipo de trabalho voluntário e isso é muito bem visto pelas empresas. As vagas de voluntariado, inclusive, são anunciadas nas mesmas plataformas usadas para o trabalho remunerado. Já no México, onde eu morei, eu não tive essa perceção. Mesmo que eu estivesse trabalhando para uma organização internacional, se eu não tinha salário, muitos não consideravam trabalho”, conclui a consultora brasileira.

Food crisis, grid failures, Davos warns of painful global transition. Painful for who?What is happening? 

Is the energy transition only truly happening in the West? Politicians like to point fingers at those who ‘aren't doing their bit'. But every country - from China to Kenya - is going through their own transformation…With thanks to Harsh Vijay Singh, Isabel Hilton, and Rose Mutiso.

Do you have an idea how it feels to be a citizen of one country but raised in another? If you are one of the people who were raised in a culture other than their parents' or the culture of their country of nationality, and also live in a different environment during a significant part of their child development years, then you are a Third Culture Kid. Exposure to various cultures is a beneficial yet somehow traumatizing experience for children as they become confused with their “mirrors and anchors”.In this episode of The New Nomad, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski are joined by Ruth Van Reken in talking about the benefits and challenges of the TCK experience. As a citizen of the USA raised for thirteen years in Nigeria, Ruth E. Van Reken is a TCK and openly shares her experience and stand when it comes to cross-culture upbringing. Our three nomads provided tips on how to cope with challenges and explain the repercussions of this rewarding though confusing experience to anyone, children and adults alike. It is definitely an episode not worth missing![5:53] Born in one country, raised in another[9:05] Dealing with repetitive cycles of separation and loss[17:28] Raising awareness about TCKs[21:04] First of all, your kid is a kid[22:21] Of anchors, routes, and mirrors[27:26] Not stupid, just out of my contextGUEST BIO:Ruth E.

She is co-founder of Families in Global Transition. In addition to other writing, Ruth is co-author of Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds. At the age of thirty-nine, Ruth began journaling. Eventually this journaling became Letters I Never Wrote, later re-published as Letters Never Sent. Through that, she not only looked at her story, but Ruth met and interacted with countless TCKs and adult TCKs (ATCKs) of all backgrounds and nationalities as well.Ruth Van Reken Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthvanreken/Website: http://www.crossculturalkid.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ruthvanrekenFollow Insured Nomads at:Instagram: @insurednomadswww.insurednomads.com

With today's fast paced lifestyle, particularly if we are globally mobile, it can be so difficult to make the time to commit to our dreams and our goals. This challenge is even greater for parents in general, so imagine how complex it would be if you were a solo parenting mom. If a solo-parenting mom can do it, so can you! "I decided to be my own career manager and do it just like I would have if I was working for a company"In this week's episode you will hear the inspiring story of Rhoda Bangerter and her insightful tips on how to make the time, even if you do not have the time. Rhoda Bangerter is the founder of A Multicultural Life, a certified coach for solo parenting moms in long distance marriages and the author of the book “Holding the Fort Abroad”. She was raised in France, with a Welsh dad, a Syrian Armenian mum and is married to a Swiss man. Her husband has traveled abroad for work throughout almost their whole marriage. During this time, Rhoda has been solo-parenting and experimenting with various ways to hold the fort while creating a joint life in a long-distance relationship. Along the way, she realized there were a huge number of moms around the world who experienced the same challenges but with no resources to guide them through this journey. This led her to run extensive research, share her learnings through her book, ‘Holding The Fort Abroad', and develop her coaching services to support solo parenting moms in long distance relationships. Rhoda speaks about the challenges of solo parenting and how to thrive in multicultural marriages. She has been featured in various platforms such as Families in Global Transition, Coffee with Expat Women, and Ute's International Lounge.

For so many of us who have a passionate belief in changing the status quo, knowing where to start and how to get started is the biggest challenge! Sometimes, the most important part of turning your dream of making a difference into reality is just to start somewhere! While having a great process for building your business or driving change is important, you also have to start and trust that the journey will take you where you need to be. My guest this week is passionate about changing the real estate and relocation industry. Lindy Chapman has an amazing story to share. Despite being told it couldn’t be done, she is proof that when you make a start and trust your dream, amazing things can happen! "Podcasting is an amazing way to connect and build an authentic relationship with your audience."Following 20+ years as a relocation client supporting her husband's career, Lindy Chapman entered the real estate & relocation industry where she serves as a champion for those who move by challenging outdated processes that too often fail the consumer. Through her podcast ReloTalk, she also seeks to bring relocation clients into the conversation in order to serve as part of the solution rather than a problem to be solved in the industry. Quickly after launching her podcast, the digital brokerage startup, Doss, based in Houston named her CEO of Social Agents, where she is building a team of real estate resource "Matchmakers" to support home buyers and sellers whether moving across town or to a new country. She also serves on the Advisory Board for Pivtapp.com, a social app for relocated employees and their families. Lindy is the mom of 4 young adults scattered from NYC to San Francisco and she and her husband are passionate about helping marriages that move through their work with "http://www.thesignificantmarriage.com/team-bios.html (The Significant Marriage.)"

My guest today is Terry Anne Wilson, a Canadian-born expat of 30 years, who has spent the last two years back in her passport country. She is the author of Monday Morning Emails, which she co-wrote with fellow expat Jo Parfitt, and we talk about this wonderful memoir at length. I can't recommend it enough, it's a lyrical, honest and heartbreaking account of two families' expat lives, and has so much to offer (not only to expat families). Terry Anne is working on other writing projects and workshops, and you can find out more about her life on her website (including her blog).Topics that come up through talking about her book are mental health and expat parent guilt, the importance of roots and how to make peace with your life once your nomadic days are over. Terry Anne shares what helped her get there, including her "Wonder Room", "Serendipity Fridays", and how the COVID19 crisis has forced her to really arrive "home".We also mention the wonderful global expat organisation FIGT, Families in Global Transition, which I absolutely urge you to check out, and we bring up another author and expert in the area of third culture and cross cultural kids and global families, Ruth Van Reken.Please don't forget to subscribe to my podcast. I so enjoy being part of the expat AND the podcast community!Terry Anne Wilson

We are in the process of a great awakening in consciousness. We are transitioning from a consciousness of fear, where we see ourselves as separate, we see the body as static and purely physical, and we see illness as a threat we must fight against. We are moving into the consciousness of unity, where we are fully aware that our bodies are first and foremost VIBRATIONAL and that we are connected with all beings everywhere. This will greatly change the way we look at health and illness and the way we perceive our world. During this global transition with Coronavirus, there is great fear arising. Mobs of people are running out to load up on food and toilet paper, not knowing what tomorrow holds. How do we allow this to be a part of our expansion beyond fear, instead of one more reason to continue to stay in survival and "fight-or-flight" mode? Join me for this week's MindBody TV to explore how to move fluidly through this intense time, allowing it to deepen your love and connection with others instead of bring you further into fear.

She openly shares how the news sent her into a funk and explains why attending the annual FIGT event means so much to her, both personally and professionally. Sundae then discusses how she reconfigured a new strategy to reclaim her power and give herself back some of what she’d lost. The post 167: Be Your Own Fairy Godmother appeared first on Sundae Schneider-Bean, LLC..

Hazel Henderson is a legendary author, advisor and media producer. It's very hard to overstate the influence Hazel has had, and continues to have, throughout nearly 60 years of public life. She has written 10 books, including ‘Mapping the Global Transition to the Solar Age', been translated into 27 languages across hundreds of outlets globally, won a multitude of awards, is listed in the Who's Who in the USA, the World, in Business and Finance, and in Science and Technology, is a member of the Club of Rome, has been named in the Post-Growth Institute's (En)Rich List as a top 100 luminary inspiring global prosperity beyond financial wealth, and has been repeatedly honoured as one of the ‘Top 100 Thought Leaders in Trustworthy Business Behaviour'. We could go on! Along the way, Hazel's collaborated with a host of systems thinking pioneers, had defining experiences with the UN and other global agencies, been a pioneering advocate for equitable and sustainable human development, and an influential advisor on socially responsible business and investment. In her 70s, she became founder and media producer at Ethical Markets Media, which is a certified B Corporation, producer of the “Transforming Finance” TV series, and publisher of the Green Transition Scoreboard. E.F. Schumacher, the revered author of ‘Small is Beautiful: A study of economics as if people mattered', said Hazel's writing has “more 'reality' than almost any other writings on societal problems I know.” Senator Edward Kennedy called her "a unique contemporary pioneer in the effort to humanize modern science and technology".  This special podcast with Hazel wandered across the personal and political, the heart felt and intellectual, the confronting and the thoroughly uplifting.

Expats and intercultural people are often "misfits" they see things a bit differently and even before they ventured out into the world, they felt a little out of place. Today's episode will draw up topics from other episodes, like helping third culture kids find a sense of identity before adulthood, and how to change the conversation around globalism and how it doesn't just affect corporate jobs. So if you feel like a misfit, or prefer global identities to stationary ones, listen in.

Aired Thursday, 13 July 2017, 7:00 PM ET The Global Transition - What Do We Have to Look Forward to? with Chris Attwood We are living in an era of unprecedented change with a number of major crises converging…. From climate change, to economic and political instability to the erosion of entire communities & displacement of over 6 million people due to violence and religious wars, the world today’s children are being raised in bears little resemblance to the world that we and our parents grew up in, and it seems that every day the media regales us with more shocking evidence of this. Is it any wonder that many are feeling as if they no longer have any control over their future? But is that true? What if the turmoil and upheaval that many are perceiving as global annihilation is instead evidence of a global awakening? How might this perspective change the way you move through this transition? In this week’s program, NY Times bestselling author and expert in the field of consciousness, Chris Attwood, joins Sandie to discuss why he believes we’re entering a time of unprecedented opportunity, even as events seem to point to a world gone awry, and what this transition means for us. Topics include: ~ The global transition – what it’s about and what it’s leading to ~ Why we need to adopt the feminine method of decision-making ~ How we can adapt to the changes this transition is bringing ~ Why finding our passion is key to creating a life and a world worth looking forward to ~ The clues from both ancient and modern wisdom that reveal what’s required to not only survive these times, but to thrive in them ~ And more… About the Guest: Chris Attwood CHRIS ATTWOOD is co-author of the New York Times bestsellers, The Passion Test and Your Hidden Riches. With his business partner and ex-wife, Janet Bray Attwood, he has built a global brand with almost 2,000 Passion Test facilitators in more than 60 countries.

After resigning as President of a government securities dealer in the early 1980s, Chris took ten years for his own inner development, spending 8-10 hours a day in deep meditation. During this time, he extensively studied the Vedic literature of India and the functioning of human consciousness. Over the past fifteen years Chris has become one of the leading figures in the transformational industry, having put together some of the industry’s major strategic alliances, including his key role in arranging 70% of the interviews for the book and movie, The Secret.
