What do phrases like “pro-life,” “law and order,” and “family values” have in common?They sound virtuous—but they're often just control, dressed up as morality.In this episode, Ben and Jamesa—coming to you from our life here in Portugal—unpack how language that sounds good on the surface can actually be a tool for domination, silence, and harm. We explore how these phrases shape everything from public policy to workplace culture, and how control often hides behind ideas that seem unassailable.We also share what it means to move beyond that—to lead and live with more honesty, more discomfort, and a lot more connection.Support the show

V dnešnej epizóde rozoberám tri trefné myšlienky od autora bestselleru Atómové návyky, Jamesa Cleara. Zameriavam sa na:Prečo nám často viac záleží na tom, aby sme mali pravdu, než aby sme boli šťastní.Ako si zachovať vnútorný pokoj a kontrolovať svoju reakciu, aj keď sa druhí správajú nesprávne.Prečo je čas tvoj najväčší zosilňovač – a prečo tvoje návyky určia, či bude tvojím spojencom alebo nepriateľom.

Książka, która jest  połączeniem kryminału, powieści szpiegowskiej, wojennej i romansu. Akcja zaczyna się w grudniu 1941 roku na Hawajach, w przeddzień japońskiego ataku na Pearl Harbor.

 In today's episode, Ben and Jamesa reflect on the recent blackout in Portugal and what it revealed about control, flexibility, and unexpected stillness.

It's a conversation about disruption, connection, and what we carry with us—whether the lights are on or not. 

 In this episode of Ben and Jamesa, we dive into the intersection of neurodivergence and social justice, exploring what it means to live as a neurospicy family in a world built for neurotypical norms. We unpack RFK Jr.'s recent comments about autism and why pathologizing neurodivergence is both harmful and outdated. From emotional sensitivity to sensory needs, we share how our neurospicyness shapes the way we move through parenting, relationships, and justice work. We also explore how neurodivergent folks often have a heightened sensitivity to injustice—and how that can become a superpower in dismantling systems rooted in control, conformity, and suppression. 

In this episode, we explore what it really means to step outside your comfort zone—whether that's moving across the world, engaging with unfamiliar identities, or sitting with uncomfortable truths about privilege and power.We kick things off with Jamesa's personal journey into expat life and her new focus on coaching individuals and families through the emotional and identity-shifting realities of living abroad. From there, we dive into the deeper discomfort many people—especially those with dominant identities—avoid: confronting the ways they've been shielded from discomfort through systems of power.We unpack how intersectionality shapes who gets to stay comfortable, who doesn't, and why leaving your comfort zone is essential for personal growth and collective liberation. We also reflect on recent headlines that show what happens when people resist change, and we answer a listener question on neurodivergence, accountability, and doing “white people work” without shutting down.
