  The Philippics, a Tragic Alliance, and a Heroic End. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. In the chaotic aftermath of Caesar's death, Cicero delivered the Philippics to trash Mark Antony's reputation. In an attempt to destroy Antony, Cicero formed an alliance with Caesar's young heir, Octavian. He believed he could use the boy to further his own political goals, but this strategy backfired. Octavian eventually joined forces with Antony and Lepidus, and together they ordered Cicero's execution as an act of vengeance for Caesar. Legend says that Cicero faced his death heroically, extending his neck to the soldiers sent to kill him. This account was likely perpetuated by his loyal secretary, Tiro, who published Cicero's works after his death. Two thousand years later, Cicero's writings remain a staple for students of Latin and rhetoric. His speeches are still valued for their entertainment value and their insightful political put-downs. His life serves as a testament to the high stakes and theatrical nature of Roman political life, illustrating the end of a republic and the birth of an empire. 8SULLA

WHAT IFWhat if the thing that's been holding you back isn't your resume, your credentials, or your experience. But the version of yourself you've been shrinking to fit rooms that were never built for you? Dr. Syreeta Rios has a doctorate, two decades in tech, a PMP certification, and a global career that took her from Delaware to Atlanta to Dubai. She still had to fight every single step of the way. Her answer wasn't to conform. It was to unleash.SUMMARY & GUEST INTRODr. Syreeta Rios walked into corporate America with every credential they said she needed. The bachelor's, the MBA, the PMP. And they still told her she couldn't handle the questions. She built her career anyway, taking herself from the conference rooms of the US to international assignments in Dubai, navigating single motherhood, divorce, and her own dark seasons, and coming out the other side with a framework she now teaches women across the country. She's an Afro-Latina tech executive, board member, 2024 International Impact Book Award winner, founder of the Bad Bitch Boardroom, host of the Professional Bad Bitch Podcast, and author of Unleash Your Inner Bad Bitch. She means every single word of it. I needed this conversation. And by the end of it, so will you.INSIDE THE EPISODECredentials Weren't Enough. Dr. Syreeta had the bachelor's, the MBA, the PMP — and still heard “I don't think you can handle the questions.” She breaks down the moment she stopped asking for permission, started networking around the gatekeepers, and went and got it herself. FAFO energy, activated.Dubai, Disrespect, and Discovering Her Authentic Self. As one of six Americans and one of four Black people in a workplace abroad, Dr. Syreeta was called fat every single day. She stayed for three years, proved herself anyway, and credits that pressure cooker environment with the moment her authenticity fully came alive. When everyone questioned her worth, she stopped questioning it herself.The B.A.D. B.I.T.C.H. Acronym. Before you clutch your pearls — it's an acronym. Brave. Ambitious. Determined. Bold. Intelligent. Talented. Creative. Heroic. Dr. Syreeta breaks it down and makes the case that if you have even three to five of those qualities, you are already a bad bitch. It's time to take credit for it.From Shy to Unstoppable. Dr. Syreeta was super shy in her first corporate job — quiet in meetings, dressed to blend in, watching her ideas get credited to the man sitting next to her. She traces the slow, deliberate transition from shrinking to showing up. Starting with the hoops, the wings, and the decision to stop making herself smaller for rooms that didn't deserve her full self.Project Management Is a Life Framework. Scope management. Stakeholder management. Communication management. Dr. Syreeta has spent 15 years applying PM frameworks to billion-dollar projects. Every single one maps directly to life. Whether you're planning a birth, running a household, or navigating a career pivot, you are already a project manager.The Guilt Audit. Career mom guilt. Partner guilt. Family guilt. Dr. Syreeta breaks down where it all comes from: an ex-husband who told her she was putting her job before her family while she was on back-to-back meetings during COVID with a one-year-old in the house. Her reframe: the things that fill you up don't need to be justified to anyone. And science backs it up — career moms do not negatively impact their kids. Full stop.Dark Places and Real Talk. Dr. Syreeta spent three to four years in a genuinely dark place: divorce, single motherhood, starting over. She wrote her book in the middle of it, which triggered it all over again. Her message to any woman in that place right now: you are not alone, you are still a bad bitch, and therapy is not optional. Go get a therapist. Even when things are good.RESOURCES & LINKSBook: Unleash Your Inner Bad Bitch — Dr. Syreeta Rios: https://www.amazon.com/Unleash-Your-Inner-Bad-Bitch/dp/B0DG7KRJMHPodcast: Professional Bad Bitch Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3gw3NCDLhTiEHUc7eFeLaxLinkedIn: Dr. Syreeta Rios: https://www.linkedin.com/in/syreetarios/HER Collective: Send Erica a DM.

Sean and Manny discuss the launch of patch 12.0.7 Revelations, the impact of a seemingly new mythic loot lockout, and the traders post's role as a solution to the regional mount chase.

She Asked Her CIO for a New Challenge at Lunch. Got a "Poison Chalice" Role. Flew to Japan in December 2019. Beat COVID by Three Weeks. PVH VP Shatabdi on Small Acts of Courage With Big Consequences. At a lunch with her CIO, she asked a simple question: "Is there a specific role where you need help? I'm ready to take a new challenge, even change my domain completely." The answer was an invitation to lead PVH's global SAP/ERP transformation across Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and North America. She had no team in Asia Pacific. She had less than two months to build one remotely from the United States. People in the room called it a poison chalice. She flew to Japan in December 2019, got the team in place, flew home in January 2020. COVID hit weeks later. She had made it by the skin of her teeth. That is one story. But Shatabdi, VP of Global Application Engineering Services at PVH Corp — home of Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein — believes the more important stories are the small ones. The under-60-second moments. The ones that most senior leaders stay quiet through. In this episode, she shares both kinds. You'll learn: A woman in a meeting quietly mentioned her son kept missing his classes because someone kept scheduling meetings after 5 PM. Shatabdi backed her up in under a minute. That intervention spread into a best practice across PVH's global time zones including Hong Kong and Bangalore. Why she credits a single direct ask at a CIO lunch for the entire trajectory of her VP career, and what she said that made the difference between getting an opportunity and being overlooked. How she heard people call her new role a "poison chalice" and responded by using their doubt as fuel: "If my leaders believe in me, I should believe in myself." What happened when a co-op intern named Christopher walked into her office and told her the access request process could be simplified to save significant man hours — and added that an AI solution could auto-fill the whole thing. She was amazed. She calls it reverse mentorship. The moment her longtime colleague Brian McGrath introduced her in a room by saying "if she's in the meeting, I know it's going to go positive" — and why that kind of public acknowledgment primes an entire room to actually listen to you. The "we vs. I" leadership model she uses: collaborative "we" language for collective goals, firm "I" language for deadlines and deliverables. And why learning when to use which one took her longer than developing either. How she structures team communication across three levels — broad town halls, staff meetings that start with "how's your family?", and one-on-ones where she opens up first about her own week — to build the kind of trust that makes honest feedback land well in both directions. About Shatabdi: Vice President of Global Application Engineering Services at PVH Corp, the fashion company behind Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. Shatabdi leads a global team across North America, Europe, Hong Kong, and Bangalore. She previously led e-commerce at Hitachi Consulting and at PVH before pivoting into global ERP transformation leadership.

4 - AUKUS - Insanity or heroic by Australian Citizens Party

On this episode of Next Level: Good Vibes Only, Jessica and Darren Salquist explore a powerful idea that challenges one of our most deeply held beliefs: your personality is not permanent. Drawing inspiration from the work of Benjamin Hardy and Joe Dispenza, they unpack how our future selves can become a guiding force in the decisions we make today. So many of us live from stories we've repeated about our past—stories that shape our habits, behaviors, and identity. But what if, instead of letting the past define us, we intentionally create the person we want to become? Jessica and Darren discuss the connection between personality, identity, emotional patterns, and daily choices, sharing practical examples of how small decisions compound over time to shape our future reality. From overcoming familiar habits and emotional addictions to building new neural pathways through intentional action, this conversation is packed with insights on personal transformation, self-awareness, and growth. You'll learn why your future may depend more on your identity than your goals, how to stop living from old stories, and how to start making choices your future self will thank you for. If you've ever said, “That's just who I am,” this episode may inspire you to rethink what's possible.The question isn't who you are today. The question is: who are you becoming?

On this guided meditation of Next Level: Good Vibes Only, Jessica Salquist guides you through a powerful meditation designed to help you release old patterns, reconnect with your highest potential, and begin embodying the person you are becoming. Inspired by the teachings of Joe Dispenza and Benjamin Hardy, this practice explores the connection between identity, emotion, and intentional transformation.Through breathwork, visualization, and reflection, you'll be invited to observe the stories, habits, and emotional patterns that may no longer serve you—and gently loosen your attachment to them. From there, you'll connect with the future version of yourself: the version that leads with confidence, purpose, peace, courage, and clarity.This meditation serves as a reminder that your personality is not fixed, your identity is not finished, and meaningful change begins with the thoughts, emotions, and actions you practice every day. Whether you're working toward a personal goal, creating healthier habits, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, this guided meditation offers a space to pause, reset, and intentionally move forward.Take a breath. Release what no longer serves you. Step into the future version of yourself—and begin becoming them today.Follow Darren Salquist, Life Changer, Self-Mastery + Heroic Performance Coach, PTA, and Personal TrainerIG: @salquid ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/salquid/⁠⁠Linkedin ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-salquist-3836b770/⁠⁠FB: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/darren.salquist?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠Follow Jessica Salquist, Life Changer, Nationally Board Certified Reflexologist, Heroic Performance Coach, and Executive LeaderIG: @reflexologyjedi ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/reflexologyjedi/⁠⁠Linkedin: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-salquist-46b07772/⁠⁠FB: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/salquistjessica?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠Find us both on IG @nextlevelreflexologycoaching ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/nextlevelreflexologycoaching⁠⁠Wellness + Coaching — Next Level Coaching and ReflexologyWebsite: ⁠⁠www.nextleveltransformationalcoaching.com⁠⁠ Check out Heroic.us to enroll in a coaching program and be part of an amazing community.Buy the book Arete here: ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/ctXhK7A⁠⁠ (on Amazon)

Gaius and Germanicus critique the 2026 US-Iran peace negotiations, which Gaius describes as a "work of fiction" and "anti-theater" lacking any heroic or certain resolution. Germanicus asserts that the current leadership is a symptom of a broader systemic collapse within the American imperial institution, which he claims has relied on a "tissue of lies" since the beginning of the global war on terror. He argues that modern "emperors" have forgotten that the United Statesremains a republic where wars require the validity and engagement of the people to be sustainable. Without a "mythic passage of becoming" or a shared existential experience, the speakers warn that the pursuit of disconnected, feckless adventures will eventually lead to the self-destruction of the state.

Most baseball fans know the name Curt Flood for his incredible 12-season run in center field for the St. Louis Cardinals. But his greatest victory happened off the diamond. ⚾️⚖️ In 1969, after being traded against his will, Flood did the unthinkable: he challenged Major League Baseball's "reserve clause." He risked his career and his reputation to fight for the rights of every player who came after him. In our latest podcast episode, we dive into the life of the man who paved the way for modern free agency. It's a story of courage, sacrifice, and a legacy that changed sports forever.

In the world of leaders who have investigated and informed citizens everywhere about the malevolent intentions behind the COVID pandemic, one of the most effective has been lawyer Reiner Fuellmich, who continues to be silenced and imprisoned in Germany after one of the most bizarre and abusive “trials” ever to occur in a modern courtroom in the Western World.  The German administration should be genuinely ashamed for exposing themselves as puppets of the Globalist cabal who are silencing dissenters who revealed the true nature of the COVID policies and practices. Reiner Fuellmich began his professional career with a doctorate in law. His first focus was on medical and pharmaceutical law at the University of Gottingen, where he worked as a research assistant. This background would prove invaluable when he began in 2020 to investigate and expose the COVID conspiracy and the hidden hands of the elite internationalists manipulating the shuttering of national economies and installing control of whole populations. As a consumer protection and trial lawyer in Germany and in California, Reiner opened his own law firm in 1993. He may have been best known for his successful work in representing consumers who were sold Volkswagen vehicles with defective emissions devices. His background included consumer law related to international banks, including Deutsche Bank, and investor protection suits representing victims of “junk real estate” investments. But Dr. Reiner Fuellmich was just getting started in his advocacy. As with so many others in the “new freedom leadership,” Reiner and his wife recognized the authoritarianism embedded in the early 2020 COVID pandemic lockdowns, other mandates, and sudden legal declarations. People were ordered to stay home; no public gatherings were allowed; masks were required when going out; and all small businesses were closed, except for a few. Children were ordered to stay home from school to “learn remotely.” All these interventions, along with their draconian enforcement by law enforcement, were a red flag. So he and his wife left California and returned to their home country, Germany, where he could gather more information. The Corona Investigative Committee was the immediate result of Reiner's return. Over the next 2 years or so, Reiner and colleagues conducted approximately 400 interviews with physicians, scientists, medical specialists, economists, historians, investigative journalists, and others seeking answers to the unprecedented shutdown of the world. Reiner was the primary member of the task force, and Dr. Breggin was one of his key witnesses. The Corona Investigative Committee was so successful that it was an enormous threat to the globalist overlords. The committee members saw other groups and individuals around the world having bank accounts seized or frozen, including the fundraising account for the COVID-19 protesting Truckers in Canada. They agreed with legal documents to disperse the funds within the leadership to be held securely until such time as the threat of seizure was passed. In 2022, Reiner traveled to the US to participate in a speaking tour titled “Crimes Against Humanity,” and while he was out of the country, the other primary member of the committee removed Reiner from the group. There was a general “disruption” among the four members of the original investigative committee (which we have seen happen often when an organization begins to have an impact) Reiner was forced to go to and remain in the US and then Mexico, where he began another investigative committee: the International Crimes Investigative Committee. Reiner's first formal interview for the new committee was conducted with expert journalist Naomi Wolf, psychiatrist Peter Breggin, and Prof. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and his wife Prof. Dr. Karina Reiss. That seminal first interview explored the vital issue of “stunning personality changes” caused by mRNA covid vaccines. Despite everything, Dr. Fuellmich was undeterred in his international investigation of the globalists and the United Nations/World Health Organization/World Economic Forum efforts to capture control of the free world. Germany brought criminal charges against Dr. Fuellmich for taking the protective measures that had been taken to protect CIC funds. Dr. Fuellmich was accused of embezzlement. Reiner was marooned in Mexico after being denied visa entry again into the United States. His passport disappeared, and when he went to the German embassy in Mexico to collect a new passport, he was captured, held, and transported back to Germany. Arrested by German authorities, Dr. Fuellmich was transported to the maximum-security prison in Rosdorf. He has remained incarcerated by German authorities to this day. Dr. Fuellmich directly addressed the various rumors and whispers about his legal case on March 10, 2026, in his “Press Release – ICIC. law—The History of Dr. Reiner Fuellmich's Kidnapping.” Dr. Reiner Fuellmich declared: Here I have once again put together the story of my kidnapping from Mexico in the context that is relevant from my point of view, so that anyone who has already heard a little about the case – “embezzlement, he screwed everyone over, but somehow something is really fishy” – can immediately see that this is certainly not a criminal case being pursued, but rather a political case that has been fabricated. The Fuellmich trial was a mockery, bleeding on for over a year, before and during which Reiner was subjected to shocking neglect and abuse within prison. The outcry about the false imprisonment, massive trial manipulations, and human rights violations committed while holding Dr. Fuellmich before and after trial are covered in detail by our guest this week, Seba Terribilini. She is a Swiss activist. She has followed Reiner's work, dedicated the past two and a half years to attending the entire trial proceedings, and is now trying to raise awareness of him. She has also visited him three times in prison. Film director and investigative journalist Philippe Carillo, along with Seba Terribilini, is currently working on a documentary about Reiner's persecution. The trailer for the Free Reiner film is here. We greatly admire and heartily support Reiner Fuellmich as well as Seba Terribilini for her efforts to increase public awareness of Dr. Fuellmich's plight and his need for justice.

Where in your life are you counting yourself out before you've even given yourself the chance to begin? In this episode, I'm exploring the power of heroic attempts and why the decision to enter, participate, and count yourself in is often far more important than the outcome itself.       Using stories from a horse camp adventure, I share what it means to keep going when things are uncomfortable, uncertain, or don't go according to plan. I also explore how we can redefine success beyond trophies, results, and external validation, and instead recognise the courage it takes to show up, try, and give something our best effort.         By the end of this episode, you'll be invited to think differently about winning, failure, and what success really means to you. Whether it's a goal, a conversation, a relationship, or a new opportunity, you'll see how much becomes possible when you stop counting yourself out before you've even begun.                Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/282        Join us in the Powerful membership, or join the waitlist: https://maisiehill.com/powerful

Another steamy one today with highs near 90° again! Make sure you stay hydrated and keep an eye on your pets/kids/old people in the sun. Hump Day is already here thanks to the short work week, and in the news this morning, a wild video showing a meteor crashing to earth behind an erupting volcano in the Phillipines, a Mr. Rogers stamp is getting reissued by the USPS this year, RFK Jr. gets bitten by a couple of mating snakes after he barehands them, Russell Crowe has a tense exchange with some autograph hounds, and hackers are going after airline loyalty rewards. In sports, the Brewers blanked the Cardinals yesterday…but Pat Murphy is upset with Abner Uribe for his "D-X" crotch chop, the Thunder beat the Spurs last night, the Vegas Golden Knights completed the sweep of the Colorado Avalanche to advance to the Stanley Cup finals, and the Packers' Josh Jacobs gets arrested for domestic assault. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight…and the latest workout craze, which is apparently a blend of chess….and boxing? This week's edition of "One Gotta Go Wednesday" was about breakfast foods. More specifically, the sweet kind. We had to choose between waffles, pancakes, French toast, & cinnamon buns. Heroic move by an off-duty firefighter who rescued a woman trapped in a her car as it began to submerge in dangers flood water, and thousands of volunteers in China are trying to plant 1 million trees to battle against desertification. Elsewhere in sports, Brendan Sorsby's appeal to the NCAA gets denied, Austin Hill will be starting in Kyle Busch's car at Nashville this weekend, and the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles will now include a "Ninja Warrior" version of the Pentathlon. A story we wanted to discuss yesterday but ran out of time…check out this tennis player who REALLY had to go during a match. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a kid getting bit by a shark that he was trying to bring on board the boat he was in, a guy who destroyed some pickleball courts after suffering an injury while playing pickleball that apparently "ruined his summer", a blind guy in Chicago is suing a used car dealership after they changed his interest rate AFTER he signed some paperwork, and an A.I. startup that's looking to pay people to masturbate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Next Level: Good Vibes Only, Jessica and Darren Salquist reflect on the journey of becoming—how growth doesn't happen all at once, but one intentional step at a time. Inspired by the Chinese proverb, “To get through the hardest journey, we need only take one step at a time, but we must keep stepping,” this conversation explores the power of momentum, self-awareness, and learning to celebrate how far you've already come. Through honest reflection, they unpack the tension between our past, present, and future selves—and how easy it is to become so focused on who we're trying to become that we forget to fully live in the present moment. Jessica and Darren share personal stories about transformation, journaling, meditation, fitness, identity shifts, healthy aging, and the quiet victories that often go unnoticed by everyone else but deeply matter to us. No matter where you are in your journey, this episode will encourage you to keep stepping, keep growing, and keep showing up for the life you're creating.Follow Darren Salquist, Life Changer, Self-Mastery + Heroic Performance Coach, PTA, and Personal TrainerIG: @salquid ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/salquid/⁠⁠Linkedin ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-salquist-3836b770/⁠⁠FB: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/darren.salquist?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠Follow Jessica Salquist, Life Changer, Nationally Board Certified Reflexologist, Heroic Performance Coach, and Executive LeaderIG: @reflexologyjedi ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/reflexologyjedi/⁠⁠Linkedin: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-salquist-46b07772/⁠⁠FB: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/salquistjessica?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠Find us both on IG @nextlevelreflexologycoaching ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/nextlevelreflexologycoaching⁠⁠Wellness + Coaching — Next Level Coaching and Reflexology Website: ⁠⁠www.nextleveltransformationalcoaching.com⁠⁠ Check out Heroic.us to enroll in a coaching program and be part of an amazing community.Buy the book Arete here: ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/ctXhK7A⁠⁠ (on Amazon)

In episode 175, I'm joined by writer, educator, and friend Jessica Danger to talk about her memoir, No Heroic Measures. This conversation is about grief, addiction, caregiving, estrangement, sobriety, and the responsibility that comes with telling the truth on the page. Jessica and I talk about how she shaped an incredibly personal story into a memoir, what it means to tell the truth, and why specificity really is generosity. We also get into the writing process itself — the messy drafts, the revisions, the details you keep, the details you cut, and how sometimes the story you think you're writing is not the story at all. This one is personal, thoughtful, and deeply human. Episode Sponsors: VM Merch Go Pills -- use "VM15" at checkout for 15% off your order.

Scopely dropped a new Alliance Tournament blog, and Talking Trek went deep into what it actually means for players. Tonight we break down the Emerald Chain expansion, new milestones, Jerali, repair speed cascade, Sigma reroll caps, heroic task changes, legendary tasks, legendary currency, and whether the new Alliance Tournament structure is a healthy evolution or another monetization landmine. Then we dive into Field Rations: the new emergency field ration compensation chests versus the old March chips. Tarpy brings the math, Jules' sheets enter the chat, and DJz walks through whether players should spend old currency now, wait for the new chests, or make the call based on what their account actually needs.

Tune in for heroic stories from the rockaholics.

1. Heroic Rescue of a Downed U.S. Pilot in Iran An American F‑15 was shot down deep inside Iranian territory. One pilot was captured quickly; the second evaded capture for nearly 48 hours while injured and hiding in mountainous terrain. The U.S. has conducted an extensive rescue mission involving: Hundreds of special operations forces CIA misinformation campaigns to mislead Iranian forces Armed drones, fighter aircraft, bombers, and helicopter extraction U.S. forces destroyed their own aircraft left behind to prevent Iranian access to sensitive technology. The mission is portrayed as extraordinarily complex, dangerous, and successful, surpassing past failed Iran rescue attempts (e.g., 1980 hostage rescue). 2. Strategic Value of “Leave No One Behind” The rescue is framed as proof of a defining U.S. military ethos: Lives of soldiers are valued over equipment. Overwhelming firepower is used to minimize U.S. casualties. Historical analogy to WWII: Americans conserve lives by expending machines. Emphasis on morale — troops fight harder knowing rescue will come no matter the cost. Stories of medics, chaplains, and rescue teams underline trust within U.S. forces. Core message: U.S. military effectiveness is rooted in certainty that help will arrive. 3. Praise for Presidential Leadership Donald Trump is credited with: Authorizing the rescue immediately Giving the military unrestricted authority (“do whatever it takes”) Restoring confidence among service members The discussion contrasts Trump positively with prior presidents (Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden), arguing they failed or hesitated in crisis moments. The rescue is used as evidence that strong executive decisiveness saves lives. 4. Warning to Iran Over the Strait of Hormuz Trump issues a public ultimatum via social media: Iran must open the Strait of Hormuz or face massive retaliation. Threats include: Destruction of power plants Destruction of bridges and infrastructure The tone is deliberately aggressive and meant to signal that the threat is not a bluff. 5. Intent to Cripple Iran’s Infrastructure, Not Occupy Discussion centers on targeting: Electricity generation Transportation/logistics networks Goal is to: Paralyze Iran’s military and economy Increase internal pressure on the ruling mullahs Encourage regime collapse through popular uprising 6. View of Iran’s Leadership Iranian rulers are: Theocratic Indifferent to civilian suffering Willing to sacrifice large numbers of citizens for ideological goals Skepticism is expressed over whether infrastructure destruction will deter them.

How can we be so self-aware and so clueless about ourselves at the same time? Have you ever wondered why so many high-achieving, self-aware people still struggle to actually feel seen and healed? In this episode of Culture Changers, I'm inviting you behind the scenes of my fifth ceremonial psilocybin-assisted therapy journey to crack open the messy, nonlinear world of emotional healing, trauma recovery, and the radical power of self-discovery. I ditch the filters (you know me) and share what magic mushrooms (psilocybin) revealed to me about my own deeply held fears, body trauma, perimenopause mood swings, and that gnawing sense of never being “enough”, even after years in therapy and spiritual hustle. I get real about the pitfalls and promise of the psychedelic healing landscape, from shady, bougie retreat centers to the truly ethical practitioners at Entheo Temple, plus why safety and integrity matter more than ever in this wild west of plant medicine. Whether you're psilocybin-curious, passionate about trauma healing, or just looking for a brutally honest conversation about what it means to be fully seen, this episode is for you. We'll dig into everything including: microdosing, EMDR, healing community, body image, and I'll share how embracing vulnerability (with a side of irreverence) can help you break open, reconnect, and rise the hell up. Healing isn't linear, but with the right questions, support, and a little mushroom magic, real progress is possible. I cover: How healing isn't linear or predictable Psychedelic-assisted therapy experiences Importance of ethical practitioners/facilitators Self-awareness and emotional vulnerability Being seen vs. hiding oneself Personal trauma and body acceptance Building supportive community for growth Timestamps: 00:00 Reflecting on healing and self-awareness 04:53 Preparing for guided ceremonies 07:16 Exploring psilocybin's healing benefits 12:21 Reflecting on a bad business experience 13:26 Attending an ethical healing retreat 16:28 Heroic doses and emotional healing 22:01 Realizing personal relationship patterns 24:51 Attending a small group ceremony 27:29 A mushroom ceremony experience 31:21 Reflecting on a healing session 32:49 Relaxing in nature with reflection 36:01 Struggling with body image 41:24 Closing thoughts and next steps 43:09 Supporting the show and staying connected Rather watch on YouTube? https://youtu.be/AmpeTTXQzVs —--------------------------------------------------------- To Learn More About Entheo Temple: Website: https://www.entheotemple.org  My Psychedelic Docu-Series: First Time Ever: EP150: My psychedelic journey inward: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2zWPpOEQchQ7g9azKJ3bcO?si=b57e2a0e7c214835 EP154: LIFE Update: Psychedelic Aftermath, 12-hour walk: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1zy86Rj0a1C2ojq4ZZiClk?si=a64d3dd8c55e498b 2nd journey: EP168: Psychedelics Part 2: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6wQTCTc4kSlqYZFicWy2ni?si=78af6ff3c4aa474b 3rd journey: Psychedelics, brutal solo hike, and overcoming fear and doubt: https://open.spotify.com/episode/15L2tjPE0Cvx3YMQQ8fiop?si=fe13431a55914b44 4th Journey: Psychedelics Uncovered My Hidden Shadow: https://open.spotify.com/episode/06QFKj1Ak2mQuPw10UBD1i?si=e3cc9bc30d0e4f07 To Connect With Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allison__hare LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonhare/ Website: https://allisonhare.com Book a free podcast clarity call with Allison: https://allisonhare.com/freecall Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

4. The Final Chance: A Heroic Rescue and Successful Orbit Guest Eric Berger describes the dramatic fourth Falcon 1 mission in late 2008. To meet a tight deadline, the team transported the rocket via a military C-17, but the booster began imploding during descent. Engineer Zach Dunn saved the mission by crawling inside the collapsing rocket to manually equalize the pressure. On September 28, the fourth launch successfully reached orbit, carrying a dummy payload named "RAT". This achievement occurred amidst the global financial crisis and solidified SpaceX's status as a legitimate rocket company, establishing enduring traditions like the four-leaf clover mission patch.
