Podcasts about liberating

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I'm going to share with you one of my most popular pieces on Medium. If you don't know what Medium is, it's a place where writers can get their short pieces published, either by themselves, or in someone else's publication. I started getting published on Medium in April, mostly in two publications which feature interesting stories and great writing.

Many activist projects and resistance groups fall apart because people treat each other poorly, trying desperately to live out the cultural myths about dating and relationships that we are fed from an early age. How do we bring our best thinking about freedom and justice into step with our desires for healing and connection? * In this episode, Dean is joined by CIIS Anthropology and Social Change Associate Professor Targol Mesbah in a liberating conversation on how to combat cultural scripts and take our relationships into our own hands, better preparing us for the work of changing the world. * This episode was recorded during an in-person and live streamed event at California Institute of Integral Studies on February 28th, 2025.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) In this talk, we explore compassion as a liberating force—one that allows us to stay present with suffering so we can respond with wise action. Drawing on the myth of Avalokiteśvara, the science of empathy, and the felt experience of care, compassion becomes a courageous presence rooted in tenderness and connection. We also reflect on how a deep understanding of dukkha, paired with a direct knowing of freedom, strengthens our compassion and helps us see the wish for liberation as real and available—even in the most difficult places.

In this episode I am once again joined by Stephen Snyder, Buddhist meditation teacher and author of several books including ‘Buddha's Heart', ‘Trust in Awakening', and his latest release ‘Liberating the Self'. Stephen emphasises the importance of working with personality structures even after Buddhist awakening, and offers methods to resolve trauma and destructive patterns to unlock hidden spiritual strength. Stephen warns about the dangers of achieving enlightenment without dealing with one's personality patterns and trauma, reflects on the inner experience of enlightened Zen masters who behaved badly, and gives his advice for teachers and practitioners who think they no longer need to practice. Stephen also reports a high success rate of awakening and other mystical experiences among his students, shares his approach to retreats and 1-1 teaching, and describes advanced Theravada meditation techniques such as kasina and skeleton meditation. … Video versions: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep298-liberating-the-self-stephen-snyder

We are living through prophetic times—what some call the metacrisis, others name as a rupture, others see as an opening. What does it mean to navigate this moment with wisdom?

This panel brings together cosmologists, system architects, scholars, and funder-activists to explore: How do we make sense of where we are and what is being asked of us in these times? What is the role of wealth holders and funders in this time of unraveling? How might wealth be liberated from extractive systems and reoriented toward life-affirming transitions?

Kurt B. Nielsen is an engineer, entrepreneur, writer and keynote speaker. He has been the CEO of software and consultancy companies, and has for 20 years, worked internationally with Agile, Lean, Scrum, and other progressive leadership patterns.His views are deeply rooted in the Danish Coop movement with focus on individual liberty combined with responsibility for the community.Kurt is the author of the book Liberating Organizations together with a group of collaborators. They have collected a wealth of experience and documented the findings in this book. Liberating Organizations is a book for those who want to generate more value for all stakeholders through their work in organizations. We propose that this can be accomplished through a resilient and sustainable workplace based on people's freedom, engagement and their taking of responsibility.The book is an investigation of the cold case of freedom in organizations, why is there so little of it? The result is a solution, a blueprint for a Liberating Organization – a Constitutional Organization where there is freedom under the rule of law – not the law of the ruler. We show how we got to the state we are in now with leadership in our organizations; why it is not ideal – primarily due to lack of engagement; what a better solution could be; and how to get there.

Dreams have power, especially when they've been nurtured for over fifteen years. Join Chastity Queen as she unveils her most cherished vision – creating a countryside Femdom Manor where crossdressers and submissives can escape societal expectations and truly be themselves.The dream unfolds with remarkable detail: a sprawling country estate with separate wings for the Queen and her sissy slaves, weekend retreats for professionals seeking liberation from their structured lives, and a renovated barn transformed into an elite dungeon space. Every aspect has been thoughtfully considered, from color-coded maid uniforms to privacy contracts, from specialized play areas to grand meals.What makes this vision particularly fascinating is its historical foundation. Chastity Queen draws additional inspiration from Casa Susanna, a groundbreaking 1950s-60s retreat that provided safe haven for crossdressers during an intensely conformist era. Recently featured in an art exhibition, this historical precedent proves that such sanctuaries aren't merely fantasies – they've existed before and fulfilled profound human needs.The emotional core of this episode emerges as Chastity Queen reflects on the painful contrast between her liberated mindset and her financial limitations. COVID-19 devastated her previous Kink house and savings, leaving her dream seemingly out of reach. Yet her passion remains undimmed as she articulates why such spaces matter: they celebrate diversity, creativity, and open-mindedness in a world increasingly hostile to gender diversity and sexual freedom.This isn't just about personal pleasure – it's about creating essential sanctuaries where people can explore their authentic selves without judgment. Whether you identify with alternative lifestyles or simply believe in freedom of expression, this episode challenges you to imagine a more accepting world.

A Liberating Love - Dr. Austin Carty

It's our 100th episode of Chiseled and I'm so excited to have Paul Hutchinson join me for this milestone. You may have heard of Paul, the executive producer and inspiration for the movie, The Sound of Freedom. Paul was living the high life building a multi-billion dollar company, Bridge Investment Group. He had a house with 10 bathrooms, seven fireplaces, three kitchens, and a closet larger than most people's apartments. A basketball court and a full-on DJ booth with light structures and a stage were set up in his basement.He was also on his way to his second divorce, his kids wouldn't talk to him, and he had lost his relationship with God.The parties every other weekend with NBA players and half-naked women kept him busy, but his soul wasn't fulfilled. However, his reputation as a flashy playboy with a disarming charm made him the kind of recruit that spy agencies look for.Paul turned down the CIA's overtures, but when he got a call from the attorney general asking him to insinuate himself into a child trafficking ring, the challenge motivated him to action.  "I didn't want to put my life in danger for some white-collar crime guys in Dubai, but when it came to kids, if there was something I could do to help, great," he said.Two days after a follow-up chat with a homeland security agent stationed in Cartagena, Paul was in Colombia making a deal to "purchase" young virgins."Then things became really real. I mean these guys knew who I was, and I realized the depth of darkness that they were engulfed in, and I realized how dangerous it really was, but I said to myself, 'If that was my child, if that 11-year-old was my daughter, I would take a bullet to get her out. I would give everything I have to destroy the lives of whoever tried to take her,'" he said.The successful mission saving a group of children from a sex trafficker profoundly moved Paul. But it still hadn't quite renewed his soul. That would take another two years engaging in some mind-bending experiences with the operators who helped him save so many lives."I had what I call an 'ego death' and that ego death was absolutely necessary for 'Paul Effing Hutchinson' to go away," he said. "That's what brought me back to God."Paul completed 70 missions in 15 countries during his 10 years undercover. He has earned the Ellis Island Medal of Honor and the International Medal of Freedom. He has been knighted three times, earned 12 honorary doctorate degrees, is the founder of Child Liberation Foundation, and personally donates millions of dollars to rescue children from enslavement.As if his story needed any more drama, it has been brought to life on the big screen. The Sound of Freedom, starring Jim Caviezel and Eduardo Verástegui, who plays Paul's character is a must-watch. In fact, watching the film moved me to call Paul up and ask him to be my guest on this 100th episode of Chiseled. I could not be more honored, he agreed. When you hear Paul's story, when you hear how bad human trafficking still is, particularly in the United States, you won't believe that Paul could remain as humble as he is. But as he says, "a piece of coal doesn't become a diamond if it's just sitting out there in the sun. It's gotta go through some pressure, it's gotta go through some heat."You can learn more about Paul and the efforts to end human trafficking at Liberating- humanity.com, ChildLiberation.org, and the SoundofFreedombook.com. You can also follow him on his Instagram and Facebook pages.But first, hear him on this week's episode share some of his darkest nights and most dangerous missions. Afterward, let me know if you were able to get through this episode without crying. I wasn't.

Ep. 168 (Part 1 of 2) | Integral psychologist Keith Witt can't get enough of the magic and beauty that happens in relationships as people begin to develop what he calls “a post-issue consciousness.” He explains that when our executive self, our wise self or witness, kicks in and forges a caring connection with the places where we hold our hurt and our traumas, then integration and healing start to happen, eventually with almost no conscious energy expenditure. “My job is to help people develop the witness,” Keith says, so they can observe their defensive or destructive states and reach for compassionate understanding, for themselves, for their partner, and for others.Keith tells us the three foundations of the modern marriage are friendship, a love affair, and an ability to resolve issues that come up, and says the shift to a post-issue relationship happens when all three facets become intentional. “Post-issue couples don't let things get in the way of their love,” he says. Throughout the conversation, Keith shares a goldmine of therapeutic wisdom on the subject of relationships, including the client/therapist relationship, and in true Integral fashion, he includes perspectives from all sorts of interesting angles, such as our evolutionary development, neural development, and moral and spiritual development. This discussion is warm, friendly, cheerful, lively, and chock full of useful information and insights. Keith's excitement about the evolutionary directionality of human relationships is contagious and inspiring. Recorded August 16, 2024.“Evolution in humans is characterized by deeper consciousness and more compassion . . . evolution has a directionality—and it's toward unity.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing Integral psychologist and prolific author Dr. Keith Witt (01:00)What is a post-issue relationship?

How do the Ood serve Doctor Who? Are they more interesting as harbingers of doom, pawns of the literal devil, or rabid victims of capitalist greed? Planet of the Ood takes the latter approach, and the result is a tale so dark even Donna Noble can't lighten it up. Still, she (and we) can at least get on the Doctor's case for his heavy-handed analogies. So sit back and take a shot of hair tonic while we absorb you into our giant brain.

When Maggie Jones's marriage collapsed after 23 years, she was devastated and overwhelmed. She was in her 50s, with two jobs, two teenage daughters and one dog. She didn't consider dating. She had no time, no emotional energy. But then a year passed. One daughter was off at college, the other increasingly independent. After several more months went by, she started to feel a sliver of curiosity about what kind of men were out there and how it would feel to date again.That meant online dating — the default mode not just for the young but also for people Ms. Jones's age. Her only exposure had been watching her oldest daughter, home from college one summer, as she sat on her bed rapidly swiping through guy after guy — spending no more than a second or two on each.Ms. Jones tells her story of online dating in later adulthood, and what she learned.
