Episode #435: “There is a person behind every piece of policy,” says Nandar, a senior digital security expert at DigiSec Lab, reflecting on Myanmar's transformation into a digital prison since the 2021 military coup. Along with researcher and trainer Vox, journalist and consultant Myat, and political researcher Candle, they discuss how the junta's technological control has reshaped daily life, eroded freedom, and forced citizens to adapt in order to survive. Nandar, who leads digital safety training and emergency response, describes Myanmar's “digital siege” as an Internet that works but no longer grants freedom. Layers of control filter access, monitor behavior, and instill fear. Through deep packet inspection, metadata tracking, and the 2025 Cybersecurity Law, the state monitors every interaction and compels service providers to surrender data. The result, she explains, is not disconnection but silence—an online world where communication feels dangerous and self-censorship has become instinct. Journalists, activists, and youth face the worst effects, yet resistance endures in small, encrypted acts of persistence. Vox, a digital safety researcher, recalls how after the coup, blackouts became “Internet curfews,” and police raids and digital fear merged into everyday life. With no protection from global companies, he and others learned that tools like Signal or Telegram could not guarantee safety. Every conversation required verification; every contact might be compromised. Digital survival meant learning espionage tactics in civilian life. Years later, he says, surveillance has become total. What began as emergency control has evolved into permanent monitoring, leaving an entire generation living cautiously under a digital authoritarian state. Myat, a journalist and media consultant, says that while before the coup, Myanmar's independent press was expanding, after the coup, licenses were revoked, reporters jailed, and websites blocked. Exiled media outlets now depend on fragile networks inside the country. Online activity itself has become perilous: VPN use invites arrest, encryption offers no safety when authorities demand passwords, and surveillance reaches into every newsroom. Myat works to train journalists in digital hygiene and security awareness, yet she warns that technology alone cannot protect them. Financial collapse and fear have made survival uncertain, and she insists that the culture of safety—and courage—must now define journalism in Myanmar. Candle, a political researcher leading DigiSec's “Duty of Care” project, focuses on how scholars must adapt research ethics to extreme risk. Fieldwork, interviews, and data collection can expose both researchers and participants to danger, so her team developed a Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan for every project. Integrating encryption, anonymization, and storage security has become an ethical duty, not a technical choice. She explains that fear now shapes participation—many citizens decline interviews or refuse to share information. By embedding safety into research design, Candle argues, social inquiry itself becomes an act of protection as much as discovery. Together, their voices reveal a single truth: in Myanmar, speaking, writing, and researching have become acts of resistance sustained by vigilance and quiet resilience.

Episode 2 : “Grieving with Gratitude” allows us to see grief differently. Although when we think of grief, we think of the dark clouds that cast shadows over us. But what I would like you to do is understand that in your grief, you can also be thankful. Be thankful of the memories, as you come to accept your circumstances. With the holidays approaching it's vital to be intentionally sensitive to anyone who is grieving/healing during this season. This journey through grief and gratitude can lead to significant personal growth, enabling individuals to adapt, evolve, and find new strength. ✨

Episode 070: In this episode, we take a practical look at how healing actually works. Instead of expecting a single breakthrough or a moment that fixes everything, we talk about how healing usually unfolds in stages over time. We explore why a familiar struggle might show up again in a new area of life and why that doesn't mean we're going backward—it often means we're seeing a deeper layer that's ready to be addressed. We discuss how God leads us through healing at a pace that's safe and manageable, even when it feels slower than we'd like, and how learning to trust that pace can bring more peace and stability to the process. We also introduce The Inner Healing Toolkit, a free 4-episode secret podcast designed to walk us through the basic order of an inner healing journey in a simple and grounded way.Key TakeawaysHealing is a step-by-step process, not a single moment.Old struggles can repeat in new situations because a new angle is being revealed.God often heals us at a steady, manageable pace, not all at once.The healing journey is lifelong; we grow layer by layer, like peeling an onion.Trusting God's timing helps us stop forcing the process and start cooperating with it.The Inner Healing Toolkit offers a simple, structured walk-through of the core stages of healing.Sign up for the FREE secret podcast here: https://resources.femininegeniuscoaching.com/inner-healing-podcast

In this solo episode, Darin reframes one of the most misunderstood forces in life — stress. Instead of seeing it as the enemy, he explores how stress is actually a messenger, guiding you back to alignment, safety, and awareness. Through science, spirituality, and lived experience, Darin breaks down how stress shows us where we're trying to control, where we're disconnected, and where our nervous system is calling for attention. He unpacks the layers of modern stress — from trauma and environment to community and purpose — and offers practical, embodied tools to restore calm, clarity, and resilience.     What You'll Learn 00:00:00 – Welcome to Super Life: Solutions for a Healthier Life and Better World 00:00:32 – Sponsor Spotlight: TheraSauna - Natural Healing Technologies (15% off with code Darrandai) 00:02:10 – The Super Life Podcast: Finding Contentment, Happiness, and Purpose 00:02:51 – Today's Topic: Stress - Reframing Stress as an Ally and Dashboard Light 00:04:54 – The "No Choice" Universe: Reconnecting to Infinite Possibilities 00:05:16 – The Reality of Stress: Statistics and the Impact of Chronic Stress 00:06:21 – Stress is Layered: Beyond a Single Cause, Addressing Chronic Stress 00:08:29 – Solutions for a Super Life: Safety over Calm and the Vagal Response 00:09:38 – The Inner Dialogue Layer: Trauma, Unconsciousness, and Spiritual Bypassing 00:11:47 – The Social Field Layer: Relationships, Community, and Finding Your Way Home 00:14:20 – Sponsor Spotlight: Bite Toothpaste - Sustainable, Non-Toxic Tabs (20% off with code Darin20) 00:16:35 – Creating Your Own Vision: Setting Boundaries with Media and Social Algorithms 00:17:29 – Finding Your Purpose: From Raising Children to Healing Injuries 00:18:35 – Environmental and Existential Stress Layers: Clutter, Noise, and Service 00:19:26 – Stress Load and Resiliency: Why Small Triggers Cause Blow-Ups 00:20:02 – Understanding the Dashboard Light: Acknowledging Unwillingness 00:20:35 – Safety as the Signal: Body Relaxation and Providing Inner Security 00:23:44 – Reframing Trauma: Was it the Protector You Needed at the Time? 00:25:00 – Releasing Trauma: Techniques, The Healing Code, and Waking the Tiger 00:26:06 – Finishing the Survival Response: Shaking, Crying, Screaming, and Stretching 00:26:38 – Stress as a Multiplier: Impact on Immune System, Heart, and Aging 00:28:10 – Stress Slows Repair: Inflammation, Cardiovascular Risk, and Cellular Aging 00:29:48 – The Integrative Approach: Changing Your Environments to Support Anti-Stress 00:30:07 – Actionable Stress Solutions: Circadian Rhythm, Nature, and Noise Reduction 00:30:44 – Actionable Stress Solutions: Gratitude, Conscious Breath, and Movement 00:31:32 – Energy Drains to Eliminate: Conflict, Clutter, Scrolling, and Late Caffeine 00:32:17 – Connecting to Greater Purpose: The Super Life Patreon Platform 00:32:54 – Morning/Night Questions: Letting Go, Creating, and Contributing 00:33:17 – Final Toolkit: Slow Breathing, Movement, Nature, Sauna, and Sleep 00:34:25 – The Invitation: Digging into all Layers of a Super Life on Patreon   Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

If you've been following Nature's Archive for a while, you might be familiar with the idea of “leave the leaves”. It represents one simple act of omission - not raking, blowing, or mulching leaf fall - that is resoundingly positive for the environment.But even if you think you know why leaving the leaves is helpful, I invite you to listen to today's guest, National Wildlife Federation naturalist David Mizejewski.If you are unfamiliar with David - let me just tell you his skill and enthusiasm for nature interpretation is second to none. Today, David walks us through all the ways leaves help the environment - and how bagging them up and sending them to a landfill makes a bad situation much worse.We also discuss useful tips for keeping leaves even if you have an HOA or difficult neighbors who might think you are neglecting your space. So if you still have leaves in your yard, please listen and take NWF's pledge to leave the leaves, and reap the rewards for years to come.Be sure to follow David on instagram, and get David's Book "Attracting Birds, Butterflies, and Other Backyard Wildlife". FULL SHOW NOTESPeople and OrganizationsNWF Certified Wildlife HabitatNWF's Pledge to Leave the LeavesBooks and Other ThingsAttracting Birds, Butterflies, and Other Backyard Wildlife - by David MizejewskiSupport Us On Patreon!Buy our Merch!Music: Spellbound by Brian Holtz MusicLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist site: https://brianholtzmusic.com Discover the Jumpstart Nature Podcast - entertaining and immersive, it's the nature fix we all need.Check past Nature's Archive episodes for amazing guests like Doug Tallamy, Elaine Ingham, and Rae Wynn-Grant, covering topics from bird migration to fungi to frogs and bats!

In this podcase episode, Mary Sullivan, co-founder of Sweet but Fearless, talks with transformational coach and author, Martine Cohen to explore how adversity can become the catalyst for reinvention. Martine shares insights from her book No More Layers, where she uses the metaphor of "layers" to reveal how fear, conditioning, and limiting beliefs keep us from accessing our true potential. Together, they discuss why the first step in any meaningful pivot is to look inward, to lead yourself before leading others. Martine emphasizes the importance of being proactive, investing in yourself, and releasing the illusion of perfection.

What does it mean to “be awareness” rather than simply observing it? Dorothy Hunt invites us to see awareness not as something separate from thoughts, feelings, or experiences, but as the very ground of being that is already present. Grounding her reflections in both tradition and poetry, she illustrates how awareness reveals itself in every moment, whether through beauty, suffering, or the ordinary flow of life. Her teaching emphasizes that awakening is not about bypassing human experience but about embracing it with intimacy and compassion.Dorothy weaves together Buddhist wisdom, Zen stories, and personal reflections to show how awareness can meet even the most difficult aspects of life. She highlights key ideas such as:The two arrows: the unavoidable pain of life and the suffering added by our interpretations.Layers of experience: from rage to vulnerability, awareness can hold them all without judgment.Awakening and growing up: two sides of the same coin, integrating transcendence with human healing.The “pathless path”: each person's journey is unique, made by walking.Ultimately, she reminds us that awareness is not elsewhere—it is here, in the very act of living.______________Dorothy Hunt serves as spiritual director of Moon Mountain Sangha and was the founder of the San Francisco Center for Meditation and Psychotherapy. She is the author of Only This!, Leaves from Moon Mountain, and Ending the Search: From Spiritual Ambition to the Heart of Awareness, as well as articles published on nondual wisdom and psychotherapy.She teaches at the request and in the spiritual lineage of Adyashanti, who invited her to share the dharma in 2004. Dorothy has a long and deep connection to the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and the nondual teachings of Zen, Advaita, and the Christian mystics. She invites a deep welcoming of the human expressions of the mystery. A licensed psychotherapist since 1967, Dorothy has now retired from her private practice. She is a mother and a grandmother.

Where in the world am I? In San Diego today, talking about Cape Breton, Canada   .  Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, world traveler, professor, marketing expert, and all-around fun person. And I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share our experiences. Quick-fire FAQ:   Your mom, grandmother, or even your daughter told you to be careful when traveling solo. But did they ever do it? You are on your way. The question I get asked is: What should I tell someone who discourages me from traveling?   Answer: You can turn it around and ask for specific information on what they know about solo travel, how they learned about it, and what facts support their knowledge. Do not be confrontive, but do ask for some examples so that you can diffuse the situation. In the long run, they want what's best for you. Remember, they don't have any ulterior motive; they just want to be helpful. When you tell them where you are going, how prepared you are, and that you have a sound system of backups, they will wish you well.   60-second confidence challenge   Your challenge is to use your MAP App at night. It's not the same as daytime so that you will face some additional challenges, but once you do it, you will gain confidence.  In future episodes, we will discuss walking at night in more detail.   If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series dives deeper into using maps and how to build confidence using them—link in description."    See Book A for addressing this challenge. You can find it on our website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series.   Destination Deep‑Dive Today's special destination is: Cape Breton, Canada, and the Cabot Trail.   Today, I'm taking you along one of the most breathtaking drives in the world — the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The sheer beauty of this place will leave you in awe. Cape Breton Highlands National Park anchors this famous loop, which you can drive either from Chéticamp on the west or Ingonish Beach on the east — about 104 kilometers apart. I suggest starting counterclockwise, from east to west, for the best morning vistas on the right side of the road, and later, sunset views along the coast. Before you go — fill your gas tank! There are only a few gas stations along the way. This area is all about the outdoors. For hikers, the Skyline Trail is a 6.5-kilometer loop, approximately two hours long, offering sweeping ocean views — one of the most popular hikes in Canada, with possible moose sightings and breathtaking cliffs.  If you prefer a shorter option, try Broad Cove Mountain. Alternatively, head east to the Coastal Trail or west to the Fishing Cove Trail or Corney Brook Trail, which passes by the waterfalls. If you don't have camping gear, you can rent ready-pitched cabin tents called oTENTiks — a great option to experience the park overnight. Seafood lovers, you're in luck! There are numerous small, local restaurants serving lobster, scallops, and fresh fish. And if you want a local experience, stop by a whale museum or take a whale and seal cruise — both are worth the time. Where to stay: For budget stays, CabotTrailHostel.com offers beds with good value. I stayed at the Bear on the Lake, located in Whycocomagh on the Bras d'Or Lake, which is centrally situated for exploring the Cabot Trail. Vibe: Welcoming, social, clean, and safe for solo women travelers; shared kitchen and lake-view deck for relaxing evenings. Now back to the travel sights: Outside the park, stop in Baddeck, home of the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, and don't miss their famous lobster suppers. In Sydney and North Sydney, you can explore a miners' museum, local parks, and even take a ghost tour. One morning, I left my hostel before seven, snacks packed and spirits high. The drive was pure joy — no traffic lights, sunshine, and that incredible Celtic charm everywhere. Next time, I will visit the Gaelic College in St. Ann's (Ceilidh trail music and crafts). My Irish roots would be smiling. I even met a 70-year-old postmaster who invited me for a private swim in a local lake with a private entrance. Hidden from view, I took a spontaneous dip with permission from the owner-and yes, it was a nude swim in nature! I did lose my glasses, which I will mention later on, but it was worth it for that moment of freedom.

Hidden from view, I took a spontaneous dip with permission from the owner— and yes, it was a nude swim in nature! I did lose my glasses, which I will mention later on, but it was worth it for that moment of freedom. Cape Breton surprised me with its strong Celtic culture — there's even a school for the Gaelic language. By the end of the day, I had driven nearly 600 kilometers, my heart full and my camera full of beauty. Other stops you can make if you stay longer: Stop by Glenora Distillery in Glenville for a quick visit or coffee (optional whisky tasting is available if you wish!). Continue to Margaree Harbour — stop at the beach for photos of where the river meets the sea. Visit the AcadianChéticampVillage of Chéticamp, known for rug hooking and vibrant cChéticamp Lunch in Chéticamp: The Doryman Pub & Grill or Harbour Restaurant (seafood and great view). Continue north to Pleasant Bay and visit the Whale Interpretive Centre. On the east side of the Trail, you can find Breakfast: Coffee and a bagel at the hostel or in Baddeck (try High Wheeler Café).

Now that the nights are well and truly closing in (for us here in the UK at least) and Halloween is behind us, there's just enough time for the Indieventure trio to take one last look at the latest batch of new(ish) indie games we've been enjoying before turning our attention to the serious business of end-of-year celebrations. We say new-ish because, while Rachel and Liam are as on it and up-to-the-minute as ever, Rebecca has wandered off on a bit of a side-quest. Basically, it's still Halloween in her heart, and if that means shining a spotlight on some spooky (and/or romantically spooky-adjacent) games from six months or two years or heck, even nearly a decade ago, then it's more than worth it to create what we hope you'll all agree is a suitably autumnal vibe. To that end, our round robin discussion in this episode encompasses games including Absolum, Ball x Pit, Easy Delivery Co., Herdling, Layers of Fear (both the 2016 and 2023 versions), Monster Prom 4, Monstrous Love, and of course, PowerWash Simulator 2. Regular listeners might already have noticed that we've had a longer break between episodes than usual, and so naturally we've found plenty to be hyperfixated on in that time. Rachel has discovered the SCP Foundation collaborative fiction project, and while it's given her a bit of a crisis over her love for a certain suspiciously similar Remedy game, she nevertheless thinks you all should go and read about an eldritch basketball game in SCP-1733 if you haven't encountered it yet. Meanwhile, Liam's been enjoying some movies courtesy of Eatflix in Newcastle, and also thanks to everyone's favourite breathtaking meme machine Keanu Reeves' latest starring role in Good Fortune. And Rebecca has finally got her hands on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, her feelings on which are far too complex to condense down into this brief text summary, but on which she is at least qualified to speak with some authority as an OG mega-fan of the 21-year-old original cult classic.

From Offer to Closing: Navigating the Home Sale Timeline When buying or selling a home in Massachusetts, timing is everything. From the moment an offer is submitted to the day the keys change hands, there's a complex series of steps that must align perfectly and sometimes those steps are influenced by weather, holidays, or even the timing of other transactions. In a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, Sharon McNamara and Melissa Wallace of Boston Connect Real Estate broke down what really happens during the home sale timeline and how agents help clients navigate every turn of the process. The Emotional Rollercoaster of Buying and Selling Once an offer is accepted, excitement quickly gives way to nerves. Buyers start to realize, “This is really happening!” and suddenly, the process feels real inspections, financing, deadlines, and all. Sharon and Melissa note that this emotional shift is completely normal. For sellers, emotions run high too. Whether they're upsizing, downsizing, or handling an estate sale, every transaction carries personal weight. A great agent's role is to keep both sides calm, informed, and focused on the bigger picture. “Part of our job is to guide our clients through the emotions,” Sharon explains. “We've seen it all and that perspective helps everyone stay grounded.” Understanding the Layers of the Timeline The phrase “from offer to closing” might sound simple, but there are actually multiple timelines happening simultaneously. Offer and Acceptance – Once an offer is submitted, it includes an expiration date and offer deadline. Sellers must review and respond within that window. Home Inspection Period – Buyers usually have a short timeframe (often 5–7 days) to schedule and complete inspections. Purchase & Sale Agreement (P&S) – This formal contract typically follows the inspection phase and lays out the firm terms, dates, and contingencies. Appraisal & Financing – If financing is involved, this step is crucial. Lender delays or missed deadlines can push back the closing. Commitment & Closing Prep – Once financing is secured, attorneys and agents coordinate title work, smoke inspections, and final walkthroughs. Each stage has its own deadlines and missing one could jeopardize the transaction. The Listing Agent's Balancing Act For sellers' agents, managing the timeline is a true art form. Sharon emphasizes the importance of monitoring every date and understanding how one delay can create a domino effect, especially when the buyer is also selling a home. “You're often lining up two closings,” Sharon says. “It takes careful coordination to make sure your clients aren't left homeless or losing a deposit.” When a sale is contingent on another property selling, clear communication and tight timelines become critical. Agents often add date-specific contingencies to protect both sides ensuring no one's left in limbo. Offer Deadlines and Market Dynamics Offer deadlines have become a common strategy in Massachusetts' competitive market. Sharon explains that while they help organize multiple-offer situations, they can also cause confusion if not handled properly. “We used to set strict offer deadlines, but now I prefer to read the room,” Sharon says. “Sometimes, I let offers roll in and let the seller decide when they feel ready. It keeps flexibility in the process.” Melissa adds that understanding why deals fall apart from financing hiccups to misaligned timelines is one of the best ways for agents to prevent future issues. The Importance of Communication Perhaps the biggest takeaway from this episode is the importance of open, consistent communication. Buyers, sellers, lenders, attorneys, and agents must all stay in sync for the transaction to succeed. “Communication is the glue that holds the deal together,” Melissa notes. “If everyone's on the same page, we can handle almost any curveball.” Weather, Holidays, and Friday Closings Oh My! Sharon and Melissa also reminded listeners that not all delays are financial or emotional. External factors like snowstorms, long weekends, or back-to-back “domino closings” can create unexpected scheduling challenges. Tip from the pros: Try to avoid Friday closings when possible banks and attorneys may close early, and if a wire delay occurs, you could be waiting until Monday to move in. Final Thoughts Buying or selling a home involves far more than signatures and keys it's a careful dance of dates, details, and decisions. With the right guidance, however, it doesn't have to be overwhelming. At Boston Connect Real Estate, our agents take a holistic, hands-on approach to every transaction. From the first showing to closing day, we're here to make sure every move truly feels like a moving experience.

Most preppers focus on accumulating gear and supplies, but truly prepared individuals understand that effective preparedness is about having layers. This fundamental preparedness strategy separates novice preppers from those who've built genuinely resilient systems. The concept of preparedness layers ensures that when your primary plan fails, you have tested backup systems ready to deploy, creating multiple pathways to survival across every critical need. In this essential episode, Todd breaks down the layered preparedness methodology that transforms scattered supplies into coordinated survival systems. You'll discover how to evaluate your current preparedness through the lens of multiple layers of preparedness, identifying critical gaps that could leave you vulnerable when it matters most. This isn't theoretical prepping—it's the practical framework that separates prepared families from those who merely own preparedness gear. Todd demonstrates how this prepping layers approach applies across fire-starting, water procurement, food security, defense, and power generation, revealing why redundancy without strategy often leads to false confidence. For the faithful prepper committed to true self-reliance, understanding preparedness strategy through layered systems isn't optional—it's foundational. These are the fundamental principles that ensure your family's safety when single points of failure could mean the difference between thriving and merely surviving during extended emergencies.

Today, I interview Robin Humphreys, who once felt her voice caught in her throat and her body tense with fear. She shares how creative expression became her lifeline, helping her release what she couldn't say out loud.Growing up sensitive and full of imagination, Robin later faced experiences that taught her to hold back her voice. Years of silence led to a deep disconnection from her own safety and expression, until art and body-based healing began to show her another way to live and speak.Now, Robin helps others find that same freedom, guiding them to calm anxiety, reconnect with their bodies, and rediscover their authentic voice. Her work reminds us that healing and self-expression often rise together, leading us back to what is most true within.__________________Robin Humphreys is the visionary Founder and CEO of Phoenix Heart Healing.

The interaction of Continuous effects, commonly known as the Layers, were first immortalized in the forth century when the monk Evagrius Ponticus increased forms of continuous effects from 6 to 7. Since then they have been part of our shared zeitgeist.We sing about Seven Layers a 'laying at Christmas. We go on rides at Disney based on Snow White and the Seven Layers. The White Stipes write songs about them. Even the king of comedic counter culture did a bit about the Seven Layers you cant say on TV. My personal favorite is the Akira Kurosawa classic where a town recruits the seven layers to defend them from a bandit gang of state based actions. Armed with nothing but bamboo spears and timestamps, our hearty band of continuous effects are able to fend off the bandit gang in a bittersweet pyrrhic victory. In this episode, Bryan, Charles, and Marcos talk about the interaction of continuous effects, AKA The Layers, the supposed boogieman of the Magic Rules. Our goal is to help you realize that this Boogieman is more Dog and less John Wick. We talk about what the layers are, how to combine effects both within the layers, and across the layers, then we spend a lot of time going over examples. Too many examples, really. We even help you realize that you've been figuring out dependencies all along, you just didnt realize it. So sit back, give us a listen, or give us a watch on YouTube where we can share card images. Oh, and Bryan spent time thinking about which of the seven deadly sins would map to each layer, so you get to enjoy this rare glimpse into his brain.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight is back with a solo show to update you all about her life months after her recent retirement. She talks about letting go of attachments in her career and even the roles in her family, and embracing these changes with courage, community, love and trust in the divine. She intends to continue in bringing awareness to the power of vision, whether the physical, emotional or spiritual kind. As she undergoes her recertification as a trainor for RIM (Regenerating Images in Memory), she discusses doing RIM personal work that made her realize how overprotectiveness ran in her family, and that it's more important to be honest, authentic and emotionally healthy especially for her daughters and grandchildren. She also touches on the value of being of service in the community and being grounded in spirituality. Lastly, she invites us all to reflect on what we want to create for our lives by answering a few, simple questions that will allow us to look at ourselves through a fresh, new lens.

Why do people refuse to say what they see, and, what everyone knows…whether or not they're willing to acknowledge it? Is there some benefit to keeping quiet, adhering to the “unwritten rules,” and, is there a time and place to break tradition? Today, I'm joined by Harvard professor, Dr. Steven Pinker to answer these questions. We also discuss the difference between common knowledge and common wisdom, whether or not it's hypocrisy to stay quiet about the unwritten rules, when to be radically honest or complacently quiet, how to judge risk in your honesty, how the “Abeline Paradox” will serve you, and the importance of male initiation.

We've hit that time of year again: the season of chunky knits, cozy coats, big scarves, and all the layers you can pile on. The temperature is finally starting to dip over here and while I love staying warm and bundled up as much as the next person, let's be honest: cold-weather outfits can sometimes make us feel more like a marshmallow than a style maven.    While you can't always avoid bulk in the fall and winter, you can control your proportions. And that, my friend, is what makes the difference between looking swallowed up by your clothes and looking polished, intentional, and stylish even when you're layered up.    So today, I'm going to break down five outfit proportion rules that will fix everything for you. These guidelines will help you balance out your layers so you never look frumpy and feel confident that your fall and winter outfits look amazing, whether you're heading into a meeting, snapping family photos, or bundling up for a chilly school drop-off.   By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to layer smarter, flatter your figure, and show up with presence—no matter how many pieces you've got on.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 185 – Pear Shaped Body?
