Our guest today is Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America—the largest grassroots movement in the country. Back in 2012, Shannon began her career in activism when she posted a call to action on Facebook to end gun violence, in response to the horrors of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Her message was met with an overwhelming response, and soon after, the mother of five and former communications executive founded Moms Demand Action. Although Shannon stepped down as the founder in 2023, she continues to work to mobilize massive change on the boards of Emerge America—an organization dedicated to recruiting and training women to run for office—and Advance Peace—a community-based organization focused on ending gun violence. And now, she's joining us right ahead of the launch of her second book, Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age. Her inspiring story includes:completing her education while battling undiagnosed ADHD.unexpectedly becoming the leader of the largest grassroots movement in the countrytaking on the gun lobby and facing frightening pushback.avoiding the trap of “founders' syndrome.”and what it means to live a life that's on fire.On Sali: Argent Copain Blazer and Maybelle Pocket TeeOn Shannon: Argent Tuxedo Blazer, Stretch Blouse, and Cropped Straight Leg Trouser Work Friends Credits:Hosted by Sali Christeson @salichristesonProduced by Gina Marinelli @ginaalilbitEdited by Ryan WoldoffTheme Song by Karina DePiano @sheplaysdepiano & Melanie Nyema @melanienyemaRecorded at Podstream Studio @podstreamstudioWork Friends is produced by ARGENT (www.argentwork.com), a women's clothing label on a mission to redefine workwear and drive forward women's progress.

This week, we are joined by several of the speakers and participants in the Preventing Gun Violence Advocacy Day. First we talk with Jasir Rahman, a student at Rice University and Texas Youth Advocacy Coordinator with Team ENOUGH. Later in the episode we hear from Nicole Golden, Director of Texas Gun Sense, and Rev. Stephen Sanders from Oak Hill United Methodist Church shortly after the rally for gun violence prevention was held on the Texas Capitol steps on February 27th. Gun violence is always such a hard topic. Because so many of the folks who show up have traumatic stories to explain what brought them to this work. We heard stories from Uvalde families. We heard from people who had family members take their lives or who had friends involved in accidental deaths. And, while we marched to the Capitol with about 1,000 other advocates from across the state to rally on the South steps, we passed by over 1,000 t-shirts with the names of Texans who needlessly lost their lives to gun violence as part of a giant Vidas Robadas display. I want to give props to Texas Impact's Gun Violence Prevention team for their work on this event and to the Texas Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence for their work. If you want to learn more about Texas Impact's involvement or how you can get involved check out Action Center at texasimpact.org.

Let's Taco ‘Bout is back with TWO all-time greats. First, the Fat Dude is joined by one of his favorite humans walking the planet, pastor Steve Miller from First Church of Jaffrey.

We then discuss Steve's pick for movie of the week — an all-timer: the 1989 baseball classic starring Kevin Costner, Field of Dreams.Follow Fat Dude Digs Flicks across social media:Facebook - Fat Dude Digs FlicksInstagram - FatDudeDigsFlicksTwitter - FatDudeFlicksTikTok - FatDudeDigsFlicksLetterboxd - FatDudeFlicksSubscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Late last week, the Biden administration and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced a new rule designed to close the infamous "gun show loophole" - gaps in background check requirements that allowed basically anyone, regardless of criminal background or mental state, to buy a gun from a dealer outside of a brick-and-mortar shop. And - right on cue - our senior Senator John Cornyn has announced a fight to block it. We've invited our good friend Nicole Golden, Executive Director of Texas Gun Sense, back to the Happy Hour to tell us what this new rule means, what chances its opposition might have of undermining it, and what's next in the fight for common-sense gun safety regulations that's been central for their hard-working organization for a lotta years now - we are fans. Learn more about this new rule here: https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/04/13/bidens-bulls-eye-on-gun-loophole-background-checks-are-needed-on-every-weapon-sale/ Learn more about Texas Gun Sense (and RSVP for the April 20th picnic in Austin!): https://txgunsense.org/ Thanks for listening!

On this week's episode, I am joined by former educator and now bilingual program coordinator for South Dakota East's Women's Business Center, Angie Iverson, who also happens to be married to past and future guest, Anthony Hoekman. We chat about Angie's multicultural background, her path to education, and what it's like to be a support system for businesswomen in the Sioux Falls area. We then dive into her pick for movie of the week, the cultural phenomenon that is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary, Twilight.To check out Angie's line of work, you can follow SD CEO East Women's Business Center on Facebook, or by going to the SD CEO East Women's Business Center website for more information.Follow Fat Dude Digs Flicks across social media:Facebook - Fat Dude Digs FlicksInstagram - FatDudeDigsFlicksTwitter - FatDudeFlicksTikTok - FatDudeDigsFlicksLetterboxd - FatDudeFlicksSubscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Goodpods, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Capricorn Full Moon I build. I plan. I overcome. Hosted by Jeff Hinshaw As a balance to Cancer Season, the Capricorn Full Moon offers a practical vantage point for wide contemplation. On this podcast episode we explore: Capricorn as a Collective Earth sign, Saturn in Pisces, and Pluto in Capricorn. In addition, meet Shannon Watts, our guest this week on the podcast. Shannon is a mother of five and founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. Shannon was recently named Time 100 Most Influential People of 2023 for her work in gun safety advocacy leading one of the largest Mom activism groups on the planet. Over the past decade, this grassroots organization has changed the political calculus, sidelined the NRA, and passed hundreds of gun safety bills at all levels of government. Shannon is living her truth as a powerful leader (Capricorn Sun) deeply connected to spirituality (Pisces Moon) looking out for the care and protection of families (Cancer Rising). On this week's podcast episode, enjoy an hour conversation in which we discuss Shannon's birth chart and dive into major transits. As an example, when Shannon founded Moms Demand Action, Pluto in Capricorn was conjunct her natal Capricorn Sun. So powerful! You are not going to want to miss this conversation. Some of the other topics covered during our time: – Obstacles, Challenges & Perseverance as a Capricorn – Founders Syndrome: Separating One's identity from an Organization – The Relational Awareness of Zodiac Signs, ex: Cancer as Personal Water – Cardinal signs as Activist: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn – Acting in the world with integrity – “Mid-Life Crisis” Points: Uranus & Saturn Oppositions – Asteroid Pallas conjunct Shannon's Pisces Moon Midheaven – Navigating Complex Family Dynamics – Setting boundaries with mom & family – Healing Intergenerational Trauma – The Intersection of Astrology, Spirituality & Social Justice – What is means to be a “Joyful Warrior” – Empowering Women to take Leadership Roles – and more! Bonus Podcast Episode – Special Guest Appearance This week there are two podcasts episodes for your listening pleasure. The usual Cosmic Cousins episode, and a bonus episode. This week I had the honor of being the guest on the Weaving your Web podcast with host Ashley River (Taurus Sun, Leo Moon, Scorpio Rising). The episode is titled "Weaving with the Cosmos: Honoring the Asteroid Goddesses with Jeff Hinshaw". In our conversation we talk all about the Asteroids and the current Leo energy lighting up some beautiful inner child and creativity expression healing for the collective. Right now I have time-slots available for both deep-dive astrology readings and tarot healing sessions this July and August. I also have a few openings for a deep-dive mentorship for this Autumn. I would be so honored to hold space for your journey in this way. Wishing for you an empowering Capricorn Full Moon.
