State Senator Rachel Ventura has introduced Senate Bill 2156, a legislative effort aiming to reform the juvenile justice system by establishing the Child First Reform Task Force. This task force will focus on prioritizing rehabilitation over punishment, recommending training for courts and law enforcement on child-first directives, and integrating restorative practices. Ventura highlights the importance of a system that emphasizes healing and prevention rather than mere punishment. Elizabeth Clarke of the Juvenile Justice Initiative underscores the necessity of treating children appropriately, advocating for community-based alternatives to detention. The bill, having passed the Senate Criminal Law Committee, awaits further action in the full Senate.

What if healing after trauma wasn't just about survival—but about creativity, reclamation, and transformation? Today's guest, Marlee Liss, is living proof that healing can look radically different than what we've been taught. After experiencing sexual violence, she was thrown into the justice system and quickly realized something: the traditional punitive approach wasn't leading to healing—it was retraumatizing. So, she did something groundbreaking.Marlee became the first person in North America to advocate for and successfully secure a court-ordered restorative justice process, requiring her assailant to undergo mandated therapy instead of incarceration. Through this process, she proved that true justice isn't always about punishment—it can be about deep, lasting accountability, healing, and even transformation.This is the second episode in my series on using creativity to change the world—because creativity isn't just for art. It's for how we think, how we heal, and how we rebuild broken systems.✨ From this conversation, you'll learn:The radical question that changed everything for Marlee—and how it can change your life, tooWhy the justice system often fails survivors—and what a real, healing alternative looks likeHow creativity can be used to solve even the world's toughest problemsThe surprising key to true healing: reclaiming joy, pleasure, and personal freedom-Remember to subscribe/follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

On the radio show this week we dive into the confusion, harm, and chaos caused by Donald Trump's ridiculous Executive Orders and nominees, from a funding freeze that shut down Medicaid portals in all 50 states to the nomination of an unqualified, unfit, and utterly confused cabinet nominee in RFK Jr. We also learn about how the funding freeze has a situational impact on the already unstable child care sector, and how our advocacy helped reverse course – for now.  After that, we cover parenting through this chaos and how to advocate for your child and yourself.

Episode #94 In this episode of the Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Sean Bw Parker to dive into the complex world of cultural theory, exploring how universities shape societal values, and how groupthink and cancel culture have evolved. We discuss the role of feminism today, shifts in the political landscape, and why individualism and freedom of expression are crucial. We also touch on justice reform, the importance of truth in society, and the unique challenges young people face in navigating these issues. Throughout, we emphasize the need for open dialogue and the courage to speak one's truth in an increasingly polarized world. With over eight books, six albums, and a TEDx talk to his name, Sean's work spans cultural theory, art, media critique, and justice reform. For ten years, he lived in Istanbul, immersing himself in the music and culture scene, where he wrote for Time Out Istanbul and Louder Than War and taught English and cultural studies. Sean brings a centrist libertarian perspective, often tackling controversial topics like cancel culture, media, justice reform, and the nuances within progressive ideologies. His latest book, A Delicate Balance of Reason – Adventures In The Culture Wars, explores these issues in depth and was released this May, with an Audible version coming soon. Sean's thoughtful approach and diverse experiences make him the perfect guest for an eye-opening discussion today. Takeaways Cultural theory analyzes societal narratives beyond individual stories. Universities often promote a left-leaning agenda that influences students. Groupthink can lead to cancel culture and suppression of dissenting voices. Feminism is divided on issues related to gender identity and women's rights. The political landscape is shifting towards populism and individualism. Art and creativity are essential for expressing individual perspectives. Truth and honesty are crucial in navigating societal challenges. Justice reform is needed to address miscarriages of justice. The younger generation is malleable and needs guidance in critical thinking. Living with an awakened heart means embracing truth and individuality.

In this episode, we've got some good news to kick things off with a letter from Richard, which you can find in DropBox. I also want to dive into a PFR case I've been working on here in New Mexico. Plus, we've got a long segment lined up on the importance of knowing where candidates...

In 2018, Thomas Perez contacted the police in Fontana, California, worried about his missing father. Instead of receiving help, he endured 17 hours of interrogation, where officers falsely claimed his father was dead and pressured him into confessing to a murder he didn't commit. Police even threatened to euthanize his dog, adding emotional distress to the ordeal. After confessing under immense psychological pressure, Perez was placed on a psychiatric hold—only to later discover that his father was alive and traveling through LAX. This tragic story, which led to a $900,000 settlement, underscores the dangers of coercive police tactics and the importance of reforming interrogation practices.
