Send us a textThis episode wrecked me in the very best way.On September 11th, 2001, while most of the world was glued to their TVs watching unimaginable horror unfold, Diane Davis was teaching Grade 3 French immersion in Gander, Newfoundland, an airport town of about 10,000 people that would suddenly become home to nearly 7,000 stranded airline passengers.What happened next is the part of the 9/11 story you probably don't know.Diane walks me through those surreal days when 38 planes were diverted to Gander and an entire community quietly, efficiently, and compassionately mobilized. Teachers turned schools into shelters. Bus drivers walked off strike to shuttle passengers. Churches, camps, and tiny outport towns filled trucks with food, bedding, and toothbrushes. Bulletin boards replaced the internet. Tim Hortons boxes became filing systems. No one waited to be told what to do. People just did what they could.Diane's story became part of Come From Away, the Broadway musical inspired by Gander's response to 9/11. Yes, there is literally a character based on her. But what struck me most wasn't the red carpets or the Tony Awards. It was her belief that none of this was extraordinary. It was simply people showing up with whatever skills they had.We also talk about the other side of being a lifelong helper, learning how to receive. Diane shares candidly about her current cancer treatment, the discomfort of accepting support, and how community once again is carrying her through. This conversation is about kindness, grit, humility, and the quiet magic that happens when strangers choose to care for each other.You might cry. I definitely did. And you'll walk away remembering what humans are capable of when we're at our best.What's Inside:What really happened in Gander when thousands of planes were diverted on 9/11How ordinary people self-organized to care for thousands of strangersThe real-life story behind Come From AwayWhy learning to receive help can be just as powerful as giving itSo here's what I want you thinking about after this episode. What does being rich actually mean to you? Is it having more than enough for yourself or being so resourced that you can show up for others without hesitation? Diane's story is a masterclass in emotional wealth, generosity, and community. And look, that kind of life is built one choice at a time.I want to hear from you. What kind of world do you want to help create, and what role do you want to play in it? DM me on Instagram and let's talk about it. I read every message.Mentioned in This Episode:Give Back To Diane DavisOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!Goal Setting Workshop

Episodes No. Title Directed by Written by Original release date UK viewers (millions) [2] 1 "Homo Aqua" Dylan Holmes Williams Russell T Davies 7 December 2025 4.31 Transport clerk Barclay Pierre-Dupont is contacted by UNIT after the discovery and killing of a Homo Aqua by fishermen. The creature that had been discovered at sea is recaptured by its own kind, killing two UNIT soldiers in the process. UNIT immediately initiate first contact between the two species. Both agree to a treaty of peace, and the Homo Aqua simultaneously reveal their presence to humanity worldwide, desiring to speak to all humans. A meeting is set up in London and several members of the Homo Aqua are seen for the first time. They introduce their humanoid ambassador, Salt, who requests that Barclay serves as the human ambassador. Barclay agrees. 2 "Plastic Apocalypse" Dylan Holmes Williams Pete McTighe 7 December 2025 3.56 Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, the commander-in-chief of UNIT, agrees to work with Barclay to carry out diplomatic negotiations with Homo Aqua, who wish for worldwide pollution to cease. Barclay's estranged family is brought into UNIT custody for safety while UNIT scientists examine eggs breed by the Homo Aqua that had been affected by pollution. At the next meeting, Salt requests water from the River Thames for Barclay to drink. Due to the water's contamination, Barclay refuses and, against UNIT instruction, chooses to acknowledges humanity's mistakes instead. Humanity presents a plan to reduce pollution within forty years, which Salt disagrees with. In response, a storm releases all the plastic from the world's waters back onto land. When world leaders challenge Salt, Barclay agrees to meet with the Homo Aqua under the Atlantic Ocean in the Romanche Gap. 3 "The Deep" Dylan Holmes Williams Pete McTighe 14 December 2025 TBD A UNIT team, consisting of Barclay, General Austin Pierce, Min Tso, Captain Louise Mackey, and diplomatic representatives Ravi Singh and Ted Campbell, are assembled for the underwater meeting; Campbell brings a globe as a gift for Salt. During their submarine descent, Kate meets at Downing Street with Prime Minister Harry Shaw and General Oscar Gunsberg with tensions rising over who owns the world's water. A new war plan named "Severance" is prepared without the knowledge of UNIT. Under the water, the submarine team exit into an environment created for them by the Sea Devils. UNIT colonel Cristofer Ibrahim is assassinated while with Kate on the surface, by an unknown assailant. Once the submarine team are stood in front of the Homo Aqua assembly, Campbell presents the globe as a gift, only to reveal that he is a mole and the globe is a concealed bomb which he detonates. 4 "The Witch of the Waterfall" Dylan Holmes Williams Pete McTighe 14 December 2025 TBD The entire submarine crew, with the exception of Barclay, are killed by the detonation. As Salt safely returns Barclay to land, a deepfake video of her is shown to the public, threatening any human who enters the water. Salt is captured by UNIT, until Barclay rescues her, both immediately becoming fugitives. Shaw is pressured into moving forward with Severance, spearheaded by Gunsberg. Meanwhile, Kate meets Salt's successor, Tide, who informs Downing Street that Salt is considered a traitor for saving a human and is subject to execution. Salt and Barclay go on the run from both UNIT and Severance while Kate struggles to cope with the death of Ibrahim. Barclay contacts his wife Barbara and requests they rendezvous with a vehicle on Lambeth Bridge, with a plan to meet an ally in North Wales and attempt contact with Kate. They are ambushed by UNIT and Severance operatives. When it is revealed that the video of Salt is a deepfake, Kate orders UNIT to fire at Severance just as Salt releases a vocal high-pitched shriek, giving her time to escape into the Thames. In retaliation, Tide threatens to use rust to end humanity. 5 "The End of the War" Dylan Holmes Williams Russell T Davies 21 December 2025 TBD Disagreements continue to occur over the melting ice. Kate hallucinates Colonel Ibrahim. She requests her therapist for an increase of her prescription for paroxetine, but is threatened with being signed off. Kate bribes her in response. Barclay is medically assessed and begins secret nightly visits to Herne Bay, calling for Salt in the sea. Kate presses Prime Minister Shaw for information about the word 'severance', who denies having any knowledge of it. After blocking a signal disruptor used to prevent Salt contacting Barclay, they finally meet. Salt tells Barclay to use the word 'accord', which has ancient meaning. Barclay informs Kate and they plan to disguise the message throughout the oceans. Dead Sea Devils begin to show up at shores and at the surface of lakes, rivers and oceans throughout the world. Kate deduces that this is Severance. At Downing Street it is revealed that the virus is engineered to only affect nine out of every ten Sea Devils. The Sea Devils surrender and inform humanity that they have won the war, but to be wary of water in the future. Kate drives Barclay to the sea, who finds Salt there. Salt gives Barclay gills, and they swim away together. A man drops a plastic bottle, who after refusing to pick it up, Kate threatens with a gun. Production Development In July 2024, Deadline Hollywood reported a new Doctor Who spin-off titled The War Between the Land and the Sea was set to begin filming in September.[3] Russell T Davies confirmed later that month at San Diego Comic Con that production would begin in August.[4] Produced by Bad Wolf and BBC Studios, Davies served as executive producer along with Pete McTighe, Joel Collins, Julie Gardner, and Jane Tranter.[5][6] Edoardo Ferretti took on the role of television producer with pre-production underway by July 2024.[7] Casting Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw lead the series with Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient reprising their roles from Doctor Who as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Colonel Ibrahim, respectively.[1][8] Tovey and Mbatha-Raw previously played Alonso Frame and Tish Jones in Doctor Who.[9] Ruth Madeley also returns from Doctor Who, playing Shirley Anne Bingham. Colin McFarlane reprises his role as General Austin Pierce, a character first introduced and last seen fifteen years prior in the third series of Torchwood, another Doctor Who spin-off.[10] Adrian Lukis, Patrick Baladi, Vincent Franklin, Francesca Corney and Mei Mac were announced as additional cast members in October 2024.[11] Writing The five-part series was written by Davies and Pete McTighe.[12] According to McTighe, Davies had already devised the series' concept and scripted its first episode prior to writing the 60th anniversary specials of Doctor Who,[13] which marked the beginning of his second tenure on the series as writer and showrunner. After McTighe delivered the first draft of "Lucky Day", his episode of the fifteenth series of Doctor Who (and third for the show as a whole), Davies asked him to collaborate on the remainder of the spin-off in 2023.[13] The two split writing duties across the programme, with Davies writing the finale in addition to his existing opening script, and McTighe the second, third and fourth episodes; Davies initially stated he had co-written the fourth with McTighe,[14] but was subsequently not co-credited in the episode itself.[15] Following filming wrapping on series 15 of Doctor Who, the first read-through for all five episodes occurred on 19 August 2024.[7] Filming Some filming took place internationally, including on Mallorca.[16] All episodes were produced in one block, compared to the two to three blocks that would usually be used for five episodes.[17] Location shooting began on 29 August 2024 in Barry and Atlantic Wharf, both in south Wales. Filming continued into September in various locations across Wales, including at the Welsh Government Building, City Arms pub, Hodge House, and Merthyr Mawr. In October, the series was spotted filming at Cardiff City Hall and National Museum Cardiff. November filming occurred

Thank you for joining us for Handbook for Humanity, we truly appreciate the gift of your ears. We are moving through more audiences of St. John Paul II"s Theology of the Body. Today's subject focuses on a challenge to married couples and those considering marriage. In today's audience JP II used Pope Paul VI's Humanae Vitae to describe what married couples can do to reach perfection in their relationships.

In this powerful conversation, Dr Joan of Angels interviews Oliver Dolby — “The Soul Doctor” about uncovering hidden energetic interference, clearing emotional imprints, and reclaiming your soul sovereignty through practical energy healing techniques. Oliver explains how everyday stressors and unresolved trauma can create weak energetic fields that invite “parasites”, low vibrational attachments, and outdated patterns into your life — and shares insights into his Etheric Trauma Release Method for deep-level healing and transformation. Whether you're curious about energetic hygiene, releasing trauma, or stepping into personal empowerment and inner peace, this discussion reveals grounded, real-world approaches to restoring balance and energy in your life.

Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.   **Covenant Culture** The phrase *“LOVING KINDNESS/steadfast love”* translates the Hebrew word **ḥesed**, which refers to **covenant loyalty**, not mere affection. In ancient Israel, ḥesed described God's faithful commitment to His people despite their failures.   UNDER YOUR WINGS * **Intimacy** – closeness, not distant protection * **Nurture** – like a mother bird covering her young * **Divine Presence** – God is actively involved, not passively watching Protection   **Key connection:**   * Psalm 36 describes what God *is* * Jesus reveals what God *does* * Humanity's problem is not access, but **unwillingness - LACK OF TRUST/ OR EXPECTANCY to come under His covering**

The Ancient Egyptian Prophecy For 2025 Is Coming True (Warns Shaman)Description:Why is our civilization collapsing? According to Ancient Egyptian texts, we are living through the "Time of Seth"—an era of chaos, corruption, and necessary destruction. But what comes next?In this episode, I sit down with Fotoula Adrimi, a Shamanic practitioner and author of Sacred Mysticism of Egypt. She reveals the truth about the "Zep Tepi" (Golden Age), the fall of Atlantis, and the specific prophecy regarding the return of Divine Love.We discuss why Earth is considered the "hardest school in the universe," why your soul fought to be here right now, and how to navigate the coming shift without losing your mind.

Two thousand years ago, a baby was born who would change everything about our world. This wasn't just any ordinary child, but the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy about a coming Messiah. God chose to enter our world as a helpless infant because Jesus needed to experience the full scope of human existence to serve as our substitute. Jesus holds unique distinctions - He was the only person to schedule His own birth, was conceived by a virgin, and received a celestial welcome from heaven's host. Isaiah reveals Jesus as both a gift and a governor, carrying the weight of all rule and authority upon His shoulder. He rules over three realms: Hades, Heaven, and Humanity, and will return as the conquering King. The baby who changed everything continues to transform lives today as our source of true peace.

SHOW NOTES  SPONSORED BY: Power of You! Find out more at https://leader.blainebartlett.com/power-of-you Summary In this engaging conversation, Blaine and Merry Carole Powers explore the profound themes of individuality, connection, and the essence of business. They discuss the importance of ideas, the impact of labels, and the necessity of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Merry Carole shares insights from her book, The Great Human Rebrand, emphasizing the need for leaders to recognize and nurture the unique potential of individuals within organizations. The dialogue also touches on the challenges of navigating change, the role of self-expression, and the future of business in an AI-driven world.  Takeaways Everything begins as an idea before it takes physical form. Labels can be useful but also problematic in human connection. Diversity and inclusion are essential for a thriving workplace. Leadership should focus on individuality and personal growth. Self-expression is crucial for fulfillment in work and life. Understanding one's value is key to success in business. Empathy and compassion are vital in connecting with customers. A unified culture enhances collaboration and growth. Scaling a business requires developing its people, not just increasing demands. Labels can help identify roles but should not limit individual potential. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jesus' Gift to Humanity reunites us all with our Father/Mother God! Rev Cindy Fuller, Inner Quest Church, Alpharetta, Ga www.innerquestchurch.org

At Christmas, God does not send advice or a pep talk to worn-out people - He sends a King. Humanity is fractured, society is divided, and even our own hearts feel like a room full of voices arguing for control. The hope is not that we will finally manage ourselves better, but that the Maker who knows us perfectly has come near to rule us rightly. And this King is unlike every strongman in history: He does not rise by taking, He descends by giving. He comes gentle, disarming our false saviors, speaking peace, knocking instead of kicking down the door. The clearest picture is the towel around His waist - the King washing feet, choosing humiliation, then the cross, so the dirty can be made clean. That is why the message of Christmas is not forced submission but glad surrender: His control does not dehumanize - it restores.

Part 3 of "Characters At Christmas."  Ephesians 2:1-5 and Romans 3:9-24. We were doomed until He appeared.

How can a baby be an "Everlasting Father?" In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares about this name given to our Savior before His birth. The name Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua (Joshua). Yeshua in Greek is Iēsoûs. Translated from Greek to English, it becomes Jesus.Joshua, Yeshua, Iēsoûs, and Jesus are the same name in different languages, all meaning "Yahweh is salvation.""Christ" comes from the Greek word Christos, meaning "anointed one." Christ is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew Mashiach or "Messiah." It's not Jesus' last name—it's His title. In the end, it doesn't matter which language you use to call on the Savior; what matters is that you call on Him.Isaiah 9:6 tells us that His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.In Hebrew culture, names don't just identify a person; they declare purpose, describe ability, and reveal character. So why is a baby—who grows into a man with no natural-born children—called Everlasting Father?Everlasting means "from here on out." From this point forward, Jesus is the perfect and final representation of God the Father.Jesus made this clear in John 14: "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father." He wasn't just a prophet bringing God's message—He was bringing God Himself to us.He said, "The Father and I are one" (John 10).Scripture declares that Christ is "the visible image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15) and "the exact imprint of his nature" (Hebrews 1:3).Five ways Jesus displayed the Father to us:A father protects. When danger came, Jesus stepped forward so His disciples could go free (John 18). Protection is love in action.A father provides. God meets your needs through your relationship with the Son (Philippians 4:19). Jesus didn't just preach to the 5,000—He fed them.A father is approachable. We come boldly to God's throne to receive mercy and grace (Hebrews 4:16). In Christ, the throne room isn't a courtroom—it's a living room.A father disciplines. God's correction is proof that we belong to Him (Hebrews 12). Discipline is formative, not punitive—it's about who you are becoming.A father loves unconditionally. God loved us first and sent His Son because He is love (1 John 4).You may not have had a father in the home, but you have a Father in heaven who wants to be the Father of your heart.Humanity misunderstood God's heart, so God didn't shout louder from heaven—He translated Himself into flesh.Jesus is God, translated into our language.At Christmas, God didn't just send a message—He sent us one of us.Some of us believe in Jesus but still relate to God through fear or distance. Let God translate Himself through the Son. Receive Jesus as your Everlasting Father.Are you letting Jesus be your Everlasting Father? 

Pastor Fran shares a message about how we can find hope this Christmas season.

In this extraordinary conversation, Viviane Chauvet shares the Arcturian perspective on humanity's evolution, our multidimensional potential, and what an ascended Earth truly looks like. From timelines of awakening to the restructuring of human consciousness, Viviane reveals how Arcturian civilizations view our species, why they assist us, and the transformational energies shaping the next phase of planetary ascension. We explore how humanity is shifting from separation to unity, how crystalline DNA upgrades are unfolding, and what daily life could look like in a fully ascended world. Viviane also offers insights into Arcturian healing technologies, quantum architecture, and the role starseeds play in anchoring higher-dimensional templates on Earth. If you're fascinated by extraterrestrial guidance, ascension, or the future of human consciousness, this episode delivers profound wisdom directly from an advanced Arcturian collective. The Portal To Ascension platform is a resource for awakening to the truth of our existence while exploring the nature of reality and the cosmos. Our efforts are aimed at manifesting full disclosure of: • Humanity's ancient origins • The truth of the Extraterrestrial presence • The release of advanced technology • Transparency within business and global economic affairs • An understanding beyond our third dimensional perception Official website: https://portaltoascension.org/ Official Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/PortalToAscension/ Official Instagram Page: https://www.instagram.com/portaltoascension Official Twitter Page: https://twitter.com/p2ascension Official Telegram Chat Room: https://t.me/portaltoascension Join Our Rapidly Growing Mailing List: https://portaltoascension.org/sign-up/ Portal To Ascension Conferences: In Person: https://ascensionconference.com Online: https://portaltoascension.org/upcoming-events/ Also Find Us On : Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3uolCCJknWQV9I3i07OZtC Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/portal-to-ascension-radio/id1544194663

As we approach the end of another year, Nick takes a moment to step back from the history books and reflect on the Explaining History podcast itself. What started 13 years ago as a "flipped classroom" experiment by a history teacher in Wales has grown into a global community.In this candid episode, Nick discusses his philosophy of history—why he rejects the "history as entertainment" model and the simplistic "Great Man" theories often peddled by TV documentaries. Instead, he argues for a structural understanding of the past, one that focuses on economics, demographics, and the lived experiences of ordinary people.From the horrors of the Holocaust to the complexities of post-war American abundance, Nick explores why we must never reduce human suffering to mere content. He also shares his personal gratitude to the listeners, authors, and friends—like Alvaro, Mehdi, and Michael—who have helped build this platform into what it is today.Key Topics:The Origins of the Podcast: From classroom tool to global platform.History vs. Entertainment: The moral responsibility of the historian.Structural History: Why "Great Men" don't shape events as much as economics do.Community: A vote of thanks to the listeners and contributors who make it all possible.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

The Sign Humanity Could Not Ask For Today's Homily unpacks the Gospel's declaration . . . . . . that Christ's birth fulfills ancient prophecy, urging believers to move beyond a narrow, sentimental view of the Nativity into its vast theological depth. Isaiah's prophecy to King Ahaz reveals humanity's reluctance to hope when confronted with God's generosity: though invited to ask for a sign, the faithless king refuses. God responds by giving the sign anyway . . . one beyond human imagination . . . the Virgin conceiving Emmanuel, “God with us.” This Promise Fulfilled St. Matthew presents this promise fulfilled not in royal splendor, but in the humble home of Joseph, a carpenter of David's line. Faced with shattered expectations and personal disappointment, Joseph chooses mercy over judgment, becoming a living sign of God's way. By welcoming Mary and the child, Joseph receives the divine sign that kings once rejected and becomes the first guardian of salvation's mystery. The meditation concludes by placing us within the drama of Advent: God still asks the same question . . . What do you hope for? The challenge is not merely to believe, but to hope boldly, trusting that God is present and invites us to ask for great things. What does that really mean and what is God really asking? What do you hope for?

What if the greatest danger of AI isn't extinction — but the quiet loss of our ability to think and choose for ourselves? In this episode of For Humanity, John sits down with journalist and author Jacob Ward (CNN, PBS, Al Jazeera; The Loop) to unpack the most under-discussed risk of artificial intelligence: decision erosion.Jacob explains why AI doesn't need to become sentient to be dangerous — it only needs to be convenient. Drawing from neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and real-world reporting, he reveals how systems designed to “help” us are slowly pushing humans into cognitive autopilot.Together, they explore:* Why AI threatens near-term human agency more than long-term sci-fi extinction* How Google Maps offers a chilling preview of AI's effect on the human brain* The difference between fast-thinking and slow-thinking — and why AI exploits it* Why persuasive AI may outperform humans politically and psychologically* How profit incentives, not intelligence, are driving the most dangerous outcomes* Why focusing only on extinction risk alienates the public — and weakens AI safety efforts

Today's guest is David McWilliams, an economist, podcast host and author. David worked at the Central Bank of Ireland, UBS and BNP Paribas and is the founder of the Kilkenomics Festival, a unique blend of economics and stand-up comedy. His book is called The History of Money: A Story of Humanity, which is my favorite book from 2025. In today's episode, David walks through the evolution of money over the last 5,000 years. He explains why money is a foundational social technology that is central to every aspect of our civilization, from the political to the artistic. He delves into historical anecdotes—from clay tablets in Mesopotamia to Gutenberg's printing press to Martin Luther's disruptive influence on the church. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes that economists need to do a better job helping people understand money and its role in navigating modern economic principles.

In his final interview, Emilio Ortiz & Franco Romero delivers one of the most emotional and revealing transmission to date. We dive into the truth about 2026, the breaking of the final dimensional tethers, the Great Remembering, and why humanity is entering a period of accelerated awakening unlike anything our species has lived through. Franco explains how the Divine Child is returning as the new operating system for human consciousness, why so many people feel destabilized right now, and how the 9D architecture of reality is collapsing old identities so we can embody our 5D blueprint. We explore the spiritual, energetic, and psychological implications of the next 12–24 months, including timeline compression, DNA activation, emotional purging, and the moment he realized he could no longer continue public interviews — a moment that brought both of us to the edge.✦ Even though it's his last interview for the foreseeable future, Franco has opened the doors to his full initiatory course, The Way of the Inner Child.

Truth was never meant to scare you. It was meant to free you. Episode 165 of The Authentic Human Podcast is Part 89 of The Story of Creation, where The Creator speaks directly about why humanity was taught to fear truth, how judgment became the most powerful tool of control, and what must now be remembered for conscious awareness to be restored. This episode explores the true nature of creation, free will, feeling, and truth, and why religion, judgment, and shame were strategically used to separate humans from their Creator, their power, and their ability to feel. You'll hear why: • Truth carries a high universal vibration — and why humans were trained to fear it • Judgment became the most traded currency in human existence • Feeling is the gateway to truth, awareness, and universal intelligence • Religion was designed to hold you separate from your Creator • Jesus came once — not to be worshipped, but to trigger remembering • The Creator is not judging you, testing you, or measuring your worth • Humanity's disconnection from feeling is the source of suffering • Your soul already knows why you are here • Consciousness expands when humans reclaim their ability to feel truth • This moment in existence requires remembrance, not obedience This is not a message of fear. This is a message of freedom, healing, and remembrance. You were not created to carry shame. You were created to participate in existence. 🎧 Listen with an open heart. ⚠️ This episode will challenge belief systems built on judgment, fear, and control. 00:00 — All Human Souls Step Forward 00:48 — Learning to Hold Universal & Soul Energy 01:56 — How Energy Changes the Physical Body 03:49 — Bringing Universal, Soul & Physical Energy Together 05:15 — Why Humans Were Taught to Fear Truth 06:19 — The Illusion of Judgment & Shame 07:24 — Truth Is Freedom, Not Punishment 09:27 — Religion, Jesus & the Misunderstanding of Truth 14:04 — How Religion Separated Humans from the Creator 17:36 — Why Feeling Restores Human Power About The Authentic Human Podcast The Authentic Human Podcast explores consciousness, spiritual awakening, creation, and human evolution from a universal perspective—translating universal truth into human understanding. 🎧 Available on YouTube, SoundCloud, and all major podcast platforms 🔍 Search: Authentic Human with Michelle Vickers #humanconsciousness #universaltruth #spiritualawakening #consciousnessshift #authentichuman #abundance #universalbeings

As we round out 2025, leaders are facing a series of "this-or-that" choices: Control vs. Empowerment, Stability vs. Agility, Automation vs. Humanity. Tammy J. Bond argues that the real superpower for 2026 isn't choosing one—it's holding the space for "Both-And." This episode explores why managers are "drowning" in complexity and how the "Yes, And" framework—Tammy's personal philosophy—can transform paralyzing tensions into opportunities for growth. Learn how to stop "reloading the dishwasher" for your team and start building a culture of trusted productivity. The Leadership Tensions of 2025 The Struggle is Real: The Center for Creative Leadership identifies the top tensions as juggling people vs. results and leading change vs. managing complexity. The Micromanagement Trap: With managers overseeing nearly 3x as many people as they did a few years ago, the default response to stress is often to "tighten the screws." The Cost of Control: Global engagement has slipped to 21%. When you seek more approval and create less autonomy, you create a "why bother?" culture that leads to quiet quitting. Three Non-Negotiable Conversations for 2026 To bridge the gap between control and empowerment, initiate these three dialogues before the new year: The Ownership Ask: "What decisions are you ready to own so I can step out of the way?" (Define the boundaries and metrics together). The Mirror Moment: "Where am I over-controlling you?" Invite honest feedback and define actions to shift that control. The AI Soul Search: "How will we use AI as a 'team member' without losing the soul of our company?" Co-create rules that keep the process human-centric. Your Final Sandbox Challenge Before 2025 ends, identify one thing you currently control that you can release to your team. If you can't find one thing, ask yourself: Is this about risk, or is it my ego? Identifying your "rate-limiting step" is the first move toward becoming a "Both-And" leader. Remember, empowerment doesn't need to be chaos. It's freedom inside a clear framework.

I sat down with Michelle Londoño, a woman who embodies courage, innovation, and compassion.Michelle shares the raw truth of what it means to seek her way to grow. Her unstoppable latino family could not guide her but yes had the encouragement that stated " You Can do it". With no manual in a country that provides many opportunities navigating was with uncertainty, cultural shifts, and the quiet pressure of being the first to figure things out. Her journey reflects the reality of so many immigrants who must build their path while walking it.Beyond her personal story, Michelle is also a humanitarian, nurse and a technology professional based in San Francisco, using her voice, skills, and influence to serve others and create meaningful impact. This conversation weaves together humanity, strategy, resilience, and purpose reminding us that progress is not only about success, but about how we carry others along the way. This episode is for those who are:    •    Building life without a manual    •    Leading with heart in unfamiliar territory   •    Designing their future while still discovering themselvesDesigning Humanity is not about perfection it's about becoming. She vibrates to latino bomba music.

EP. #1294 Programming the Cosmos: How Science Fiction Conditioned Humanity for Space What if humanity didn't invent the space age—but inherited it? In Part Three of our four-part series on how science fiction shapes reality, Professor Mark Brake traces an unsettling pattern: rockets, satellites, lunar landings, arcologies, even cosmic megastructures all appeared in fiction long before engineers built them. From Kepler to Clarke, storytellers sketched the architecture of the modern world centuries in advance. Were these writers merely imaginative—or were they quietly programming our collective future? Tonight, we follow the thread into orbit, where fiction stops entertaining us and starts directing us. GUEST: Professor Mark Brake is a leading science communicator and author exploring the hidden feedback loop between imagination and innovation. He is the author of FutureWorld: Where Science Fiction Becomes Science and numerous bestselling books examining the real science behind Star Wars, superheroes, time travel, and the multiverse. Known for translating complex ideas into gripping narratives, Brake argues that science fiction doesn't merely entertain — it quietly shapes the laboratories, technologies, and futures we eventually inhabit.

Grand Tamasha is Carnegie's weekly podcast on Indian politics and policy co-produced with the Hindustan Times, a leading Indian media house. For six years (and counting), host Milan Vaishnav has interviewed authors, journalists, policymakers, and practitioners working on contemporary India to give listeners across the globe a glimpse into life in the world's most populous country.Each December, Milan looks back at the conversations we've hosted during the course of the year and selects a handful of books that stayed with him long after our recording wrapped. This year's selections span biography, history, and political economy—but they share a common thread: Each offers a bold reinterpretation of India at a moment of profound political and social churn.In keeping with this tradition, here—in no particular order—are Grand Tamasha's top books of 2025. A Sixth of Humanity: Independent India's Development OdysseyBy Devesh Kapur and Arvind Subramanian. Published by HarperCollins India.Believer's Dilemma: Vajpayee and the Hindu Right's Path to Power, 1977–2018By Abhishek Choudhary. Published by Pan Macmillan India.Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern AsiaBy Sam Dalrymple. Published by HarperCollins India.Taken together, these books showcase the breadth of scholarship animating debates on India and South Asia today. They remind us that the region's past remains contested, its present deeply complex, and its future still uncertain. I hope you find these conversations as stimulating and inspiring as I did.One final note here: As you consider your year-end charitable giving, we hope you will choose to support Grand Tamasha. This season, you might have noticed that we've expanded into video, allowing listeners to watch full-length conversations on YouTube. Listener contributions sustain the costs of production, research, and distribution—especially as we expand our video offerings. The podcast receives no external funding beyond what our audience generously provides, and contributions from U.S.-based supporters are fully tax-deductible. We would be grateful for whatever support you can offer.
