Together, Avik and Emily discuss overcoming shame, rewriting harmful narratives, and embracing differences as sources of strength. The conversation highlights practical tools like journaling, coaching, and meditation to navigate self-doubt and external judgment. Emily also reveals how dating and intimacy as a person with a disability led to profound revelations about acceptance and growth. About the Guest:   Emily Goodson is a writer, speaker, and advocate known for her fearless work around disability, mental health, and identity.

Differences are strengths: Our uniqueness is what makes us beautiful and valuable.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Ep 321 of RevolutionZ considers the I believe false choice of class or identity. We want to understand the world to change it. Why must we choose one focus above some other focus to best pursue effective change? How do class, race, gender, and power priorities and concepts intersect? What if marxism, anarchism, feminism, and nationalism are each correct and yet also each wrong? Is there  a way to think about social change able to combine the virtues of paying priority attention to gender, sexuality, race, culture, power, and class while jettisoning the debits that can accompany exclusive emphasis on feminism, anti-racism, marxism, or anarchism, each taken alone? If yes, do we need that approach to effectively combat fascism and attain a vastly better world? This episode addresses such questions.Support the show

Send us a textStaring down the tangled web of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in powerhouse corporations like Microsoft, McDonald's, Ford, and Meta, we make a bold claim: Corporate DEI initiatives often amount to little more than hollow gestures, failing to make meaningful change. We dissect the aftermath of George Floyd's murder, scrutinising how it prompted a wave of DEI pledges that often fall short of translating into actionable progress. Through personal narratives and candid analysis, we highlight the systemic barriers Black women encounter in predominantly white industries, arguing for the necessity of legal mandates and rigorous reporting to ensure DEI efforts are more than just lip service.Navigating the multifaceted dynamics of DEI, we touch on compelling examples from popular culture, such as the casting of "Wicked," to explore representation and tokenism. The UK's paradox of relying on immigrant contributions while marginalising its diverse populace adds another layer to our discussion. We also delve into the world of content creation, sharing my journey with social media platforms like TikTok, where authentic engagement has been more rewarding than on traditional venues. These stories are woven with insights on personal agency, emphasising the limitations of corporate loyalty to DEI principles.We tackle the ongoing saga of TikTok's legal challenges in the U.S., focusing on the interplay between freedom of expression and national security. The episode also bravely explores workplace racism and implicit bias, with personal experiences that shine a light on the discomfort and obstacles faced by Black women. Through accounts of employment tribunal battles and the art of self-advocacy, we emphasize resilience and strategic action against discrimination. Sharing the importance of escapism and safe spaces, we celebrate the strength and solidarity of Black Women, striving together to navigate professional challenges while maintaining our identity and dignity.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star

In this episode, podcast host Lola Adeyemo interviews Gianna Driver, a recognized Filipina-American Global HR leader, to explore Gianna's journey and the valuable lessons she has to share with aspiring professionals. The discussion covers a range of topics, including: - Gianna's organic path into HR and discovery of her passion for people-focused roles - Understanding the nuances of intersectional identity and how it evolves over time - The importance of vulnerability and creating inclusive spaces to embrace one's full self - Advice for early-to-mid career professionals on overcoming fears, building community, and cultivating self-awareness - Perspectives on embracing the future of work through continuous learning and a positive mindset Embracing Your Intersections: Advice from Global HR Leader Gianna Driver As the corporate environment continues to evolve, the need for diverse perspectives and inclusive leadership come to the forefront. For this episode of Immigrants in Corporate podcast, our host Lola Adeyemo speaks with Gianna Driver, a recognized Global HR industry speaker and leader, who has carved out an impressive career path that exemplifies the power of embracing one's unique identity and experiences. We dive into Gianna's journey, exploring the intersections that define her and the invaluable lessons she has to share with aspiring professionals. Finding Your Path in HR Gianna's career journey is a testament to embracing your unique identity and allowing opportunities to find you. As she explains to podcast host, Lola, she didn't set out to work in HR, but her natural inclination towards people-focused roles led her there organically. Starting in corporate insurance, Gianna discovered her passion for the various facets of human resources from hiring and onboarding to performance management and learning and development as she naturally gravitated towards these people-focused roles while working at a small startup. What's remarkable about Gianna's story is how she didn't let preconceived notions about HR hold her back. Instead, she leaned into her strengths and interests, allowing her career to unfold in a way that aligned with her values and skills. This adaptability and openness to new possibilities is a lesson for any early-to-mid career professional navigating their path. Navigating Intersectionality When discussing the concept of intersectionality with Lola, Gianna demonstrates a nuanced understanding of how our multiple identities shape our experiences. As a Filipina-American woman from a lower socioeconomic background, Gianna recognizes the importance of acknowledging and embracing the various facets that make up her identity, including being a mother. She notes how these intersections can evolve over time, and how it's crucial to remain open-minded and reflective about the ways in which our identities inform our perspectives and experiences. Gianna's willingness to share her own journey with intersectionality is a powerful example of the value in being vulnerable and transparent. By highlighting the complexities of her identity, she not only helps others see themselves reflected in her story but also demonstrates the importance of creating spaces where people can fully embrace all aspects of who they are, even if certain identities may not be immediately at the forefront Advice for Aspiring Professionals Drawing on her own experiences, Gianna offers invaluable advice for early-to-mid career professionals, particularly those from underrepresented or marginalized backgrounds. She emphasizes the importance of overcoming the fear of failure, reminding us that the fear of failure often stifles more dreams than failure itself. Gianna encourages taking calculated risks and leaps of faith, as the journey itself is filled with valuable learning opportunities, regardless of the outcome. Gianna also underscores the significance of building a supportive community and actively seeking out mentors and allies. She acknowledges that navigating predominantly white, male-dominated spaces can be challenging, but stresses the importance of finding safe havens where one can be their authentic self and be seen and accepted in their fullness, including their imperfections. Embracing the Future of Work As Gianna looks towards the future of the workplace, she emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and intentionality. She encourages professionals to take the time to reflect on their strengths, passions, and natural inclinations, and then proactively seek out opportunities that align with these qualities, while also remaining open-minded and adaptable. By embracing our intersections, cultivating self-awareness, and building supportive communities, we can pave the way for a more inclusive and fulfilling career journey.

The Superhero Ethics gang was with their families over the New Year, but enjoy this rebroadcast of a favorite episode!As an amputee, Echo holds a special place in my (Matthew's) heart, so I'm excited to have comics expert Will Freeland join me to discuss this meaningful new MCU show. Seeing a superhero who shares some of my experiences is incredible. Maya Lopez immediately enters the pantheon of disabled representation done right. In this episode, Will and I analyze the show's triumphs. We discuss Maya's thoughtful portrayal as a deaf, Indigenous American amputee. We appreciate the respect given to Choctaw culture. And of course, we analyze the return of Wilson Fisk. As always, Will provides insightful context from the comic books. Meanwhile, I share my personal reactions as an amputee seeing myself represented on screen. Echo recaptures the spirit of the Netflix Marvel universe. It delivers an uplifting, kick-ass story centered on a new, deaf, indigenous hero. This show resonates with so many people. I can't wait for you to hear our perspectives. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop is joined by Katelynne Schuler, a thinker and innovator in the realms of psychology, religion, and philosophy. The conversation spans a wide range of compelling topics, including the layered nuances of Korean social hierarchy, the evolution of political language, and the shifting ideologies within Western conservatism. They explore the rebranding of the KKK, the deeper implications of free speech in a world dominated by digital platforms, and the unseen influence of corporations on government censorship. Katelynne also shares her insights on the psychology of "falls from grace" and how isolation during the pandemic may have catalyzed narcissistic tendencies in some people. The episode touches on larger philosophical questions about civilization, power, and media's role in shaping collective belief. To learn more about Katelynne Schuler, you can find her on Facebook under her name, Katelynne Schuler.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:32 Exploring Korean Culture and Social Nuances02:52 Language and Political Ideologies04:23 Project 2025 and Political Shifts06:21 The KKK's Rebranding and Conservatism10:25 Theocracy and Intersectionalism11:14 Free Speech and Internet History30:05 The Impact of COVID-19 and Vaccines34:15 Clearing Out and Cognitive Dissonance35:07 Pandemic Social Dynamics36:06 Narcissism and Social Isolation38:22 Conspiracy Theories and Social Impact41:34 Lockdowns and Quarantine43:25 Media Manipulation and Public Perception44:52 Nanotechnology and Conspiracy Theories49:42 Bill Gates and Genetic Engineering52:42 Trump, Publicity, and Media Influence58:41 Finance, Asset Valuation, and Media Future01:03:30 Pandemic Warnings and Conspiracies01:07:34 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey Insights1. The Power of Language in Social and Political SystemsKatelynne Schuler highlights the profound role that language plays in shaping social dynamics, drawing on Korean culture's use of honorifics as a prime example. In Korean, different forms of language are used depending on social rank, respect, and familiarity, essentially creating three distinct "languages" within one. This insight is paralleled with Western political discourse, where the left and right often use the same words but with entirely different meanings. The observation points to a broader idea that shared language does not guarantee shared understanding—a crucial realization in an era of increasing political division.2. Free Speech, Corporate Power, and Government CensorshipA central thread in the episode is the evolution of free speech in the age of digital platforms. Schuler and Alsop explore how platforms like Twitter and Facebook have become arenas where free speech is both enabled and curtailed. While platforms have the right to control content as private entities, the duo highlights the more concerning trend of governments using corporations as proxies to suppress dissent. This dynamic blurs the line between free enterprise and state censorship, raising questions about how much "free speech" really exists in online spaces.3. The Psychological Fallout of Isolation and "Fall from Grace"Katelynne offers a unique psychological perspective on how the pandemic-induced isolation created a rise in narcissistic tendencies. As people lost their social connections, especially those ostracized for holding unpopular views on COVID, their need for self-validation intensified. This "fall from grace" experience can push people toward more rigid thinking, strengthening their attachment to specific beliefs or ideologies. Schuler notes that this isn't a reflection of right or wrong beliefs but a psychological response to social exclusion. It's a profound insight into how isolation and rejection affect the human psyche.4. The Rebranding of Extremist IdeologiesOne of the more startling revelations is the claim that groups like the KKK have rebranded themselves with a new focus on Christian nationalism, moving away from racial exclusion and embracing ideological alignment with "Christian values." Schuler notes that this shift aligns with a broader push within segments of American conservatism to integrate Christian morality into governance. This evolution is compared to the broader concept of theocratic governance, where laws are designed to reflect specific religious values—a concept that is controversial, even within conservative circles.5. Global Power Shifts and Lessons from HistoryThe episode provides a historical deep dive into events like the Seven Years' War, which Winston Churchill referred to as the first true "world war." Schuler suggests that while Germany was ostensibly defeated in this war, its real victory lay in how it exported its people and culture globally, influencing future power structures. This insight parallels modern debates about nationalism and globalism, with the hosts exploring how smaller, insulated communities might have better weathered the COVID crisis by closing off from global networks—much like Germany's "export" strategy.6. Technology, Nanotechnology, and the Role of Bill GatesAlsop and Schuler address the controversial role of Bill Gates, focusing on his investments in biotech and nanotechnology. They discuss Gates' involvement in genetically engineered mosquitoes released in South America and the ethical questions it raises. There's also a hint of speculative intrigue around nanobots, with references to origami-style nanostructures found in human blood. While these claims are framed as emerging curiosities rather than confirmed realities, they touch on larger concerns about who controls emerging technologies and to what end.7. The Fragmentation of Media and the Future of InformationFinally, the episode explores the fragmentation of media and its impact on public consciousness. Unlike previous decades when a few major outlets shaped collective opinion, today's media landscape is fractured, with individuals curating their own reality through niche sources. While this decentralization of media offers more choice, it also leads to greater division, as people consume entirely different versions of reality. Schuler suggests that this lack of a shared narrative might weaken societal cohesion, as people lose common ground on basic truths. This shift toward decentralized media aligns with broader conversations about social media algorithms and "echo chambers," where everyone has their own version of reality.
