Just how much of our socialization process practically mandates masking behavior in autistic women? And what does it mean to an individual labeled "highly sensitive" when entering the workforce or family life? Join us as we take a look at five commonly identified neurodivergences and the experiences of the women learning to live in a world not designed for them.

What if the thoughts that cause us stress and suffering weren't actually true? This week, I'm diving into the transformative teachings of the Maester, Byron Katie—the master of truth and generosity. We'll explore what it means to meet reality as it is, rather than how we think it should be, and how this shift can bring us real freedom. If you've ever felt stuck in a loop of negative thinking or struggling with the past and what it all means, this episode is for you. Let's unpack the power of inquiry and see what's possible when we stop believing everything we think. Join me as we explore The Work and the profound peace that comes with a mind at home with itself. (Katie, Byron, and Stephen Mitchell. A Mind at Home with Itself. Harper One, 2017.)Let's go, let's get it done. Get more information at: http://projectweightloss.org
Paul Lisicky remembers when he first heard Joni Mitchell on the radio, and when he found one of her records in a bin at Korvettes. He was inspired by her musicality, her poetry, and her willingness to defy musical conventions. Nearly every one of her songs spoke to him in some way. As a budding songwriter whose music was widely performed in churches around the country, he was motivated by her superb tunings, phrasing, and melodies. Later, he focused more on lyrics and prose, hers and his own, eventually earning a master's in creative fiction and working in the world of professional writing. He continued to follow Joni's career and never got tired of her music, which helped him navigate the ups and downs of his life. Song So Wild and Blue: A Life with the Music of Joni Mitchell (HarperOne, 2025) is a beautiful memoir about the struggle of a gay writer intertwined with the life and career of the magnificent Joni Mitchell. Paul Lisicky grew up in southern New Jersey but has lived most of his adult life in Massachusetts and New York City. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees in English from Rutgers University and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop (1990). He authored seven books, including Song So Wild and Blue: A Life with the Music of Joni Mitchell, The Burning House, Famous Builder, Later, The Narrow Door, and Lawn Boy. His work has appeared in The Atlantic, BuzzFeed, Conjunctions, The Cut, Fence, The New York Times, Ploughshares, Tin House, and in many other magazines and anthologies. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, he is currently a professor of English in the Creative Writing MFA Program at Rutgers University-Camden, where he is the editor of StoryQuarterly. He lives in Brooklyn, New York and is passionate about music, animals, and travel. Learn more about your ad choices.

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we have neuroscientist and author Nicole Vignola on the show as we talk about the neuroscience of the crush! Have you ever wondered what's really happening in your brain when you have a crush? Nicole gives us all the details and breaks down the difference between a crush, limerence, and obsession. How can you catch yourself from going too far into delulu? What differentiates a crush from infatuation from genuinely liking someone? Two questions we answer inside, but there's more. We also tackle the heartbreak side of things—what happens in your brain when you experience rejection? Or when your crush doesn't like you back? We've got some digital tips, as well, as we explore why texting is so addicting and how to resist the urge to stalk your crush online. Finally, Nicole shares insights on the difference between feeling butterflies and overall crush energy from a genuine dating interest, how we can walk rather than fall into love, and how to not break your own heart in the process. So, whether you're crushing hard right now or just curious about the science behind those all-consuming feelings, this episode is packed with insights to help you flirt with the highs and lows of the crush.

Highlighting his transformative investment in Ashley Stewart—a brand serving plus-size Black women—Rhee discusses the power of intangible assets like loyalty and resilience. He also champions a leadership approach blending kindness with mathematical precision, encouraging investors to measure value beyond financial metrics. Show notes James Rhee is a high school teacher and Harvard Law graduate who became a private equity investor and unexpected CEO. He bridges math with emotions by marrying capital with purpose.

Episode Summary:John Philip Newell is best described as “a wandering teacher with the heart of a Celtic bard and the mind of a Celtic scholar.” Formerly the Warden of Iona Abbey in the Western Isles of Scotland, John Philip joined me from his home in Edinburgh to offer a new, yet ancient way forward in a time when the empire has once again wedded and bedded Christianity.Long before the colonizing forces of imperial Christianity made their way to the British Isles, an indigenous form of spirituality nourished those sacred souls living in the borderlands of Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. The Celts believed divinity pervaded every aspect of life. There was no distinction between secular and sacred, human and divine. The Celtic vision of the world is essentially sacramental, perceiving God's presence in ordinary things like rocks, forests, springs, groves, hills, and meadows. “The Celtic approach to God opens up a world in which nothing is too common to be exalted and nothing is so exalted that it cannot be made common,” writes Esther De Waal. For them, the natural world is the container of the sacred and a gateway to the luminous—the holy intersection between mortals and the supernatural. These tribes bewildered the Roman church because they were relational rather than rational, inspirational rather than institutional, and indigenous instead of imperial.In this modern age, when we find ourselves divorced from the natural world, addicted to technology, controlled by institutional religion, and victims of an empire of our own making, there is a great deal to learn from the ancient Celts. We need nothing less than a reclamation of our humanity, a rekindling of the Beltaine Fire burning in every human heart.Most of us are still reeling from the recent presidential election. The dark forces of authoritarianism, patriarchy, and white supremacy are chronically ingrained in the highest levels of government, blessed and absolved by white Christianity. But here's what I'm slowly starting to believe—every dark ending births a new beginning. Evil never has the last word. We've been given a dark gift, a chance to resist and re-imagine the world as it should be. We are living in liminal time, “when we can't go back but we can't see the way forward,” writes my friend Melanie Mudge.What better time to wake up, “dream new dreams,” and rekindle the sacred flame in every human soul. As John Philip reminds us:“We live in a threshold moment. We are waking up to the earth again. We are awakening to the feminine and the desire to faithfully tend the interrelationship of all things. In this moment, politically, culturally, and religiously, we are witnessing the death throes of a shadow form of masculine power that has arrayed itself over against the earth and over against the sacredness of the feminine. This shadow form of power, however, has no ultimate future, for it is essentially false in its betrayal of the earth and the feminine. So in fear it is lashing out with unprecedented force. But it is not the deep spirit of this moment in time. Something else is trying to be born.”Celtic spirituality is needed now more than ever. Allow John Philip to lead you into deeper streams of indigenous wisdom where action and contemplation, vision and profound mystery light our collective way forward. His latest book, The Great Search, is out now. Bio:John Philip Newell (b 1953) is an internationally renowned Celtic teacher and author of spirituality who calls the modern world to reawaken to the sacredness of Earth and every human being.Canadian by birth, and also Scottish, he resides with his wife Ali in the ecovillage of Findhorn in Scotland. In 2016 he began the Earth & Soul initiative and teaches regularly in the United States and Canada as well as leading international pilgrimage weeks on Iona in the Western Isles of Scotland.His PhD is from the University of Edinburgh and he has authored over fifteen books, including his award-winning publication, Sacred Earth Sacred Soul, which was the 2022 Gold Winner of the Nautilus Book Award for Spirituality and Religious Thought of the West. His new book, also with HarperOne (and published in the UK by Wild Goose), is The Great Search (August 2024), in which he looks at the great spiritual yearnings of humanity today in the context of the decline of religion as we have known it.Newell speaks of himself as ‘a wandering teacher' following the ancient path of many lone teachers before him in the Celtic world, ‘wandering Scots' (or scotus vagans as they were called) seeking the wellbeing of the world. He has been described as having ‘the heart of a Celtic bard and the mind of a Celtic scholar', combining in his teachings the poetic and the intellectual, the head as well as the heart, and spiritual awareness as well as political and ecological concern. His writings have been translated into seven languages. In 2020 he relinquished his ordination as a minister of the Church of Scotland as no longer reflecting the heart of his belief in the sacredness of Earth and every human being. He continues, however, to see himself as ‘a grateful son of the Christian household' seeking to be in relationship with the wisdom of humanity's other great spiritual traditions.In 2011 John Philip was awarded the first-ever Contemplative Voices Award from the Shalem Institute in Washington DC for his prophetic work in the field of spirituality and compassion. In 2022 he received the Sacred Universe Award from the Well Center for Spirituality in Chicago, IL in recognition of his significant work in furthering humanity's relationship with the sacredness of Earth.Please follow us on social media (use the buttons below) and help us get the word out!

In this episode, Stephanie Duncan Smith takes us on a profound journey through grief, loss, and the resilience required to open ourselves up to love again. She beautifully weaves together themes of time, the liturgical calendar, and the radical empathy of a God who meets us in every moment - whether joyful or sorrowful. Stephanie shares her own experiences with pregnancy loss, and how she grappled with the dissonance of everyday life and the world's expectations in the midst of her grief. She redefines resilience not as "overcoming," but as the ability to hold joy and sorrow together, to live in the uncomfortable tension. This conversation is a masterclass in finding hope, courage and the freedom to feel the full range of human emotion, even in the darkest of times. Stephanie's words offer a path forward for anyone who has experienced profound loss, and a reminder that love is always worth the risk.Stephanie Duncan Smith is a writer and senior editor at HarperOne who has spent her career developing award-winning and bestselling authors. She is the creator of Slant Letter, a bestselling Substack email newsletter for writers looking to deepen their craft and do it in style. Duncan Smith completed her master's in theology at Western Theological Seminary, where she was the winner of the Frederick Buechner Prize for Excellence in Writing.

This week, we're revisiting an episode from season 1! I hope you enjoy this episode on Quantum Manifestation from season 1. Manifestation is the idea that we're capable of creating our reality through our thoughts and feelings. You might know it as Law of Attraction or 'The Secret'. The Secret, though, mostly zeroed in on manifesting material gain—money, houses, shiny objects. It oversimplifies the concept and orients it around the physical, three-dimensional world. In this episode, we're dissolving the myth that everything that happens in life—good or bad—is a result of manifestation. There are two caveats to manifestation. Becoming aware of these caveats offers us a fresh perspective on manifestation and removes the common New Age shame and guilt that is typically associated with the New Age understanding of Law of Attraction. We also dig below the surface to examine the interplay between quantum mechanics and manifestation, and how to create a signal so clear, so concise that it reaches into the quantum field and pulls our desires into physical reality before our eyes.SourcesDispenza, J.

This week, we're revisiting an episode from the first season of The Soul Horizon. This episode offers a foundation for the information we'll be covering in next week's episode. Next week's episode will be a deep dive into the subconscious mind and how we can leverage the power (and brilliance) of the subconscious to invoke powerful, long-lasting, and life-transforming change. Here's what this current "revisit" episode is about...By the time we're 35 years old, 95% of who we believe we are is merely a memorized pattern of beliefs, behaviors, and emotions. This is why real, lasting change is so difficult. The thing is though, we're entirely capable of awe-inspiring changes and shifts at any age. But we've got to know what we're working with first. We need to know what stands in our way. In other words, we must know the enemy before we can determine the best course of action in becoming our own hero. The truth is...Most of us hit the age of 35 and from that point forward, simply become an increasingly concentrated version of whoever we were then.But it's not by choice. It's by repetition.And knowing the cause is the key to reversing it.SourcesDispenza, J. (2018). *Breaking the habit of being yourself: How to lose your mind and create a new one.

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, Kevin Tumlinson, and Jena Brown as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including SPF podcast shutting down, why X is under pressure from regulators, and how Instagram starts letting people create AI versions of themselves. Then, stick around for a chat with Sophie Brickman! Sophie Brickman is a writer, reporter and editor based in New York City. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Saveur, The San Francisco Chronicle, the Best Food Writing compilation, and the Best American Science Writing compilation, among other places. She is currently a columnist at The Guardian. She wrote a monthly column for Elle interviewing influential women—including Nancy Pelosi and Joyce Carol Oates—about their paths to success, served as Executive Editor of a travel publication launched jointly between Hearst and Airbnb, and was the Features Editor at Saveur. As a staff reporter at The San Francisco Chronicle, she won first place in the 2011 Association of Food Journalists' feature writing category, for a piece about Napa's French Laundry restaurant, and third place for best column. In a previous life, after attending the French Culinary Institute, she worked the line at Gramercy Tavern, making risotto and lamb ragù for the lunch crowd. And before that, she graduated with honors from Harvard College, where her studies in social theory and philosophy prepared her for very few practical endeavors. Hence the desire to learn how to chop an onion correctly. Her first book, Baby, Unplugged, about the intersection of parenting and technology, was published by HarperOne in Fall 2021, received a starred review from Publisher's Weekly, and landed her a spot on Good Morning America. Her first novel, Plays Well With Others—a satirical epistolary romp through New York City, following the life of one mother as it begins to unravel in spectacular fashion—will be published by William Morrow in summer 2024. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/writersink/support
Join us on the Align Podcast for an illuminating conversation with Marianne Williamson, author, spiritual leader, and two-time presidential candidate, as she shares her profound insights on a range of critical topics. From understanding the teachings of Jesus in today's world to discussing America's addiction to fear, the struggles within our society, lessons from her presidential campaigns, pervasive American conspiracy theories, and the question of whether governments can regain lost trust. Marianne Williamson brings her unique perspective, blending spiritual wisdom with sharp political analysis. This episode offers deep dives into how ancient teachings can help us navigate modern challenges, the psychological underpinnings of societal fears, and what it truly takes to mend the fractured trust between governments and the people. ========== OUR GUEST ========== For more than four decades, Marianne Williamson has been a leader in spiritual and religiously progressive circles. She is the author of 15 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times best sellers. A quote from the mega-bestseller A Return to Love, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers. Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered more than 16 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients in the Los Angeles area since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. Williamson ran for the democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United States in both 2020 and 2024. In May of 2024 Williamson's latest book was published by HarperOne, titled THE MYSTIC JESUS: The Mind of Love. ==================== MARIANNE WILLIAMSON ====================
Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well
We will learn: The true consequences of external validation How to shift from time management to energy management How your relationships reflect your self-worth and how to break the cycle Do you want to know a powerful question you can ask yourself every time you react to something: Am I responding this way because it's necessary or because of a past experience? Our experiences, especially from childhood, shape a huge part of who we are today. Memories, beliefs, and habits get deeply rooted in our subconscious minds. Then, they control our actions and reactions more than most of us even realize. But here's the good news: becoming aware of this starts to loosen the grip your past has on your present and future. So today, we're talking about sovereignty, or the inner power, independence, and self-control to make choices based on your true self, not outside pressure or past conditioning. Our guest is Dr. Emma Seppälä. She's a speaker, author, and lecturer at Yale University. She's known for her expertise in the science of happiness, emotional intelligence, and social connection. She wrote the book, “The Happiness Track,” (Harper One, 2016), and her latest work, “Sovereign” (Hay House, 2024).
