Podcasts about matriarch

The years have flown by for Abasiama Ufot -- the once student-immigrant is now an octogenarian. At 80, she still reigns as the matriarch of the Nigerian-American family, but she is also content to live a quiet, reflective life alone in Worcester, Massachusetts. That's where we find Abasiama in the eighth of the nine-part Ufot Family cycle of plays: ” In Old Age.” Playwright Mfoniso Udofiya and actress Ebony Marshall-Oliver join us to discuss the penultimate chapter of the cycle.

Career / Process You broke in around 2006, and you're now pushing close to two decades in comics. How has your approach to storytelling changed from those early years to now? You've been at this for nearly 20 years at this point. What's something you understand about comics today that you wish you knew when you started? You're writing across multiple major franchises right now. How do you shift your voice between something like Superman, Iron Man, and G.I. Joe? On top of all this, you wrote a story in Creepshow Vol. 4 #5 titled Artificial Ignorance. Was that a story you had in a drawer, or…how did that come to be? Superman / Superboy-Prime Superboy-Prime has always been a volatile character, but here he feels almost desperate to prove himself. How do you balance his edge with making him someone readers want to follow? With Manchester Black entering the picture, what excites you about putting those two characters in conflict specifically? Any Superman elements/tropes you want to touch? Iron Man You've said Tony Stark is one of your favorite characters. What's something about Tony that you feel hasn't been explored enough in past runs? Madame Masque and A.I.M. feel like they're operating at a higher level here. What makes them the right villains for this phase of the story? Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man Do you have a favorite Universal Monsters adaptation? Do you have any favorite werewolf stories? This feels like a very grounded, almost psychological take on the Wolf Man. What drew you to that angle? Is the when of this story important to the overall experience? What makes the Wolf Man a character worth revisiting right now? Rapid Fire Question Round (Stolen from Stephen Colbert so that a guest is “known”): Best sandwich? What's one thing you own that you really should throw out? Apples or oranges? What is the scariest animal? Have you ever asked someone for their autograph? What do you think happens when we die? Favorite action movie? Favorite smell? Least favorite smell? Flat or sparkling? Most used app on your phone? If you could have dinner with any three characters you've written before, who would they be and why? You get one song to listen to for the rest of your life: what is it? Depeche  Describe the rest of your life in 5 words?

Bestselling author of In My Moccasins and Becoming a Matriarch, Helen Knott, joins Breanne Smith to talk about grief as both a pain and a portal, intergenerational trauma, healing from sexual violence, the medicine of boundaries, and the act of remembering our inherent worth. Helen opens up about her healing journey, ancestral connection, spirituality, and what it means to show up in the world with both softness and strength.This episode is a masterclass in healing, self-love, and reclaiming your voice after pain.

The science of sex differences is intensely political. Traditionalists tend to exaggerate the innate differences between men and women, while progressives tend to minimise them, arguing that the behavioural differences we see between the sexes are a product of nurture, rather than nature. Steve Stewart-Williams wants to offer a more cautious assessment. There are a lot of average differences between the sexes, some of them very pronounced. There are also a lot of small to moderate differences that are visible at the population level, but not necessarily at the individual level. This is a controversial subject, but also an enormously interesting one, with obvious relevance to all of our lives. Steve Stewart-Williams is a professor of psychology at the University of Nottingham Malaysia and author of books including 'Darwin, God, and the Meaning of Life' and 'The Ape That Understood the Universe.' His latest book is titled 'A Billion Years of Sex Differences: How Evolution Shaped the Minds of Men and Women.' Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The final episode of this twelve part Cult of Patriarchy series. In this episode, Rachel Fiori breaks down what a true matriarchy actually is, why it's rooted in oneness consciousness (not just "women in charge"), and what a world built on zero tolerance for violence, true equality, and collective healing would actually look   like.You can find the full playlist here:   https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH6VU7pGuaXCQMad5ojw1_MED6GwKFBrs&si=t53yfyRfjbu8OKNyThe Masters of Self University PODCAST is your highest source of Sacred Truth and Universal Wisdom, offered by Rachel Fiori, mystical teacher, psycho-energetic healer, & CEO.

Western elites tend to be xenophilic. They love the cultural other, and they abhor the dullness and small mindedness they see in their own countrymen. But, as Chris Bayliss points out, this is typically combined with what he describes as a “studiously parochial” attitude towards what the cultural other is actually like.In his writing for The Critic Magazine, Chris often draws from his experiences of living and working overseas, including as a diplomat. Today we discuss the many areas of British public life that have been radically transformed by mass immigration from parts of the world in which very different cultural assumptions prevail. What happens when one of the most individualistic cultures in the history of the world invites large numbers of immigrants from some of the least individualistic cultures? Hosted on Acast.

The institution of marriage has changed a lot over the last few centuries. As Eli Finkel explains in ‘The All of Nothing Marriage' – truly one of my favourite social science books – Americans of the early nineteenth century would look with confusion on our modern attitudes towards what a spouse ought to be. An economic partner, sure. A co-parent, obviously. But a best friend, even a soul mate?Today, Eli and I track these changes across American history, and we ask whether our modern attitudes towards marriage have some significant downsides. It seems that the best marriages are now better than ever. But it also seems that the institution as a whole has become more fragile.Eli is a social psychologist at Northwestern University and also the co-host – along with Paul Eastwick, another MMM guest – of the podcast ‘Love Factually', which analyses movies through the lens of relationship science.

Today's story is a completely NEW retelling of a fan favorite that was previously published as Episode 382. The audio has been newly recorded and edited. On the morning of May 17th, 2014, a detective wrote furiously as she sat next to the hospital bed of a mortally-injured 77-year-old woman. The woman had been in a coma for the last ten days, and the detective had been desperately working to figure out who had tried to kill her. Now that the woman had woken up, the detective was finally getting the chance she'd been waiting for – to ask her victim directly. But the woman was afraid. She told the detective she had a lot to say, but she couldn't say it here, at the hospital – because she was still in danger.   You can WATCH all new & exclusive MrBallen podcast episodes on my YouTube channel, just called "MrBallen" - https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallen If you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Paul Ehrlich was the author of the 1968 book 'The Population Bomb' - a book that made him into a celebrity. His message was a horrifying one. “In the 1970s and 1980s” he announced in the opening lines, “hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” Thankfully, that prediction was not realised. But Ehrlich's influence lives on after his death, not least in the work of my guest today. Les Knight is the founder of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT). His goal is that humans should, as the movement's motto puts it, “live long and die out.” If he got his way, all humans would vanish within a century or so. Today I ask Les to explain his worldview.

In this moving episode Mark Stewart, film producer and chair of Race Against Dementia joins the show to discuss the personal and professional mission behind the charity founded by his father, F1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart.  Mark shares the heart-wrenching reality of his mother Helen's battle with frontotemporal dementia and how the family is applying the high-speed, problem-solving mindset of Formula 1 to accelerate the search for a cure.  From funding global research fellowships to utilising AI and predictive technologies, Mark provides an insightful look at how they are poking holes in a disease that affects one in three people born today. You'll Learn Why: The charity utilises the "Formula 1 mindset" of constant evolution and rapid problem-solving to fast-track medical breakthroughs that traditionally take decades. Race Against Dementia currently funds over 90 projects and fellowships worldwide, encouraging young researchers to take risks and utilise cross-industry technologies. The emotional toll of the disease has been hard on his family, emphasising the importance of meeting patients "where they are" and maintaining a sense of humour. Collaborating with teams like McLaren, the charity has used predictive technology to speed up laboratory processes, such as Petri dish testing, by up to eight times.

Her argument is not against assisted suicide, or euthanasia, but specifically against assisted death services. That is, "formal structures for helping consenting people to die with the aid of clinicians." It's these "formal structures", she argues, that end up transforming health services into something very different from what we're used to. Legalising assisted death services is often represented as progressive, freeing, and compassionate. But when we normalise this manner of death, and when we give the state power to control these death services, we risk crossing over into what Kathleen describes as a "moral darkness." Kathleen is a contributing editor at UnHerd and the author of the bestselling 2021 book 'Material Girls.' Her new book is titled 'Do Not Go Gentle: The Case Against Assisted Death.' Hosted on Acast.

Nigel Biggar has personal experience of the cultural revolution that has come to the universities of the Anglosphere. In 2017, he found himself in the middle of a heated controversy over a project he was leading on the morality of empire, and he quickly discovered that there are some questions that you are not supposed to ask in universities today.In a new book, he warns us not to dismiss the culture wars as trivial, or as something that will blow over without any special effort. Nigel sees this, not only as a political conflict, but also as a spiritual one. What is the university actually for? How does one identify what is true and what is not?Nigel Biggar is Emeritus Regius Professor of Moral Theology at the University of Oxford, and last year he entered the House of Lords as a Conservative peer.

Joe Hudson returns to explore a deeper layer of the inner work, and why peace alone is not the full picture of being human. We unpack the distinction between awakening in the mind and awakening in the heart, and how many people use meditation and awareness as a way to find calm, while still avoiding the emotional depth that brings real connection, intimacy, and joy. Joe shares how positive emotions can actually feel more threatening than negative ones, and why the capacity to feel love is directly tied to our willingness to feel everything else.In this conversation, we walk through Joe's personal journey from early childhood patterns of shame, emotional suppression, and disconnection into years of seeking awakening through meditation. He shares how peace became accessible, but something was still missing until he began to open emotionally and develop the capacity to feel fully. This episode is an invitation to move beyond detachment and into a more complete experience of being human, where joy, intimacy, and love emerge through welcoming every part of ourselves.MUDWTR - Up to 43% off sitewide (and a free frother!)https://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyself[Code: KNOWTHYSELF]The Way App - Know Thyself listeners get 30 free sessions with Henry ShukmanJust go to http://thewayapp.com/knowtheyself to get begin your journey.Andrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro01:17 Peace vs. Joy: Two Different Awakenings06:42 Joe's Story: Rebellion, Wounds, and the Stories We Make11:34 The Meditation Obsession and the Awakening That Changed Everything20:00 From Peace to Fully Human: The Heart Journey Begins27:24 When Peace Becomes Bypassing: The Call to Feel28:27 Ad: Mud/Wtr29:46 The Smoke Signals of Emotional Suppression38:23 Overthinking, Fear, and the Emotions Behind Every Decision43:39 Commitment, the Self-Reliant Pattern, and Relationship Dynamics49:38 Ad: The Way App50:58 The Chasing and Being Chased Dynamic in Love1:00:35 Joy Is the Matriarch — and Anger Is a Child Too1:03:18 Turning Toward the World as the Real Path of Growth1:10:33 What Are We Really Searching For?1:14:02 Living Your Calling: Purpose, Surrender, and Doing What You Love1:25:03 AI, Societal Transformation, and the Edge of Wisdom1:31:25 Vagal Authority and the Emotional Order of Operations1:40:46 Joe Coaches André Live: Perfectionism, Self-Reliance, and Vulnerability1:55:26 Dropping the Identity of Being Spiritual1:59:11 We All Want to Be Seen___________Episode Resources: https://www.instagram.com/joehudson_aoa/https://www.artofaccomplishment.com/abouthttps://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

The Enlightened Family Business Podcast Ep. 157: The Conversation Your Family Needs to Have Before You Die — with Attorney Don Ford   In this episode of the Enlightened Family Business Podcast, host Chris Yonker sits down with Don Don Ford III, estate planning attorney and founding partner at Ford Bergner in Texas, for a candid conversation about the estate planning conversations most families are actively avoiding — and what it costs them when they do. Drawing on over 30 years of working with high-net-worth families and business owners, Don shares the real-world consequences of leaving heirs unprepared, how to think objectively about your children's attributes when designing an estate plan, and why putting the wrong people in the wrong roles can unravel decades of wealth building in a courtroom. They explore the danger of co-beneficiary trusts, the $88–$125 trillion great wealth transfer underway through 2045, and how the next generation can have respectful conversations with aging parents about the future. Don also offers practical guidance on how to select and vet your advisory team — and why introducing your kids to your advisors now may be the most important wealth transfer move you make.

Angel Story of the Week Julie shares a deeply moving angel story from her trip to Orlando, Florida. While browsing one of her favorite stores, Sugar Boo & Co. at Disney Springs, she was guided to pick up a necklace — not for herself, but as a keeper until she knew who it was truly meant for. The necklace read "El Amore de Tutto" — an Italian phrase meaning love lasts through everything. Love endures all. Within hours, Julie received an angelic nudge that the necklace was meant for a woman named Chrissy, whose father had recently passed. The message from Chrissy's dad? Love does not die. Love is energy. It changes form, but it moves through dimensions — permanent, resilient, and unbreakable. Key Takeaways Love is a permanent energy and force. It doesn't disappear when someone crosses over — it simply changes form and continues to move between hearts across dimensions. Your angels speak through everyday signs. A store, a necklace, a feeling — your Spirit Team is always finding creative ways to reach you with exactly the message you need. Trust your intuition over logic. Julie shares how she has always "felt her way forward" in life — and how that inner compass has never steered her wrong. You are allowed to find your voice again. After months of navigating her own dark night of the soul, Julie steps into April with a fresh, clean slate — open, honest, and fully herself. Speaking your truth is healing. For empaths and highly sensitive people, verbalizing what's on your heart doesn't just help others — it clears your own energy and moves you forward. Angel Message for You Today "El Amore de Tutto — Love lasts through everything." Your loved ones on the Other Side, your angels, and your guides want you to know: love is at your back right now, with angel wings pushing you through to the other side of wherever you are. They are walking with you. They are guiding you. They just want to be with you. Whatever you are going through today — this message is for you. Connect with Julie

But, unlike those parents, we all have access to plentiful food, indoor plumbing, effective medicine, and all of the other technologies that make modern life so comfortable. You might expect, therefore, that the modern experience of parenthood would feel easy. Why doesn't it? My guest today first started thinking about the unnaturalness of modern parenting when she became the mother of two little kids, born close together in age. She was spending much of her time alone with them and feeling acutely stressed. It set her thinking about the evolutionary mismatch between this very isolated existence, and the way in which our ancient ancestors raised their children. Elena Bridgers is a science writer and author of the substack 'Motherhood Until Yesterday.' Today we spoke about the many ways in which modern parenting is historically strange – from co-sleeping to alloparenting to birth spacing. What can hunter gatherers teach us about how to make parenting easier? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Margaret Beaufort was a leading figure in the tumultuous Wars of the Roses and would go on to become the matriarch of the Tudor Dynasty.  Mother to Henry VII and a key player in bringing the Tudors to the throne, was Margaret a manipulative schemer as she has sometimes been portrayed, or instead a resilient survivor of trauma and decades of civil conflict?   To better understand Margaret in the context of her time, Curator Charles Farris is joined by historians Dr Joanna Laynesmith and Lauren Johnson, as they explore the power and perception of this 15th century matriarch.

The population is small and roughly stable for pretty much all of human history. It rises after the advent of agriculture, some ten thousand years ago, but that bump looks rather minor now. It's only after the industrial revolution that we see this enormous spike, taking us from a world containing 1 billion people in 1800 to over 8 billion today. So far, so familiar. But what Spears and Geruso are interested in is what happens next. Their book is titled 'After the Spike' because they foresee an imminent addition to the familiar population graph: a descent just as steep as the ascent. An exponential decline that might even take us back to a global population smaller than that of 1800. I speak to Dean Spears today about what demographic research indicates is imminently in store for us as a species, and what might be on the horizon 'after the spike.' Hosted on Acast.

Our mothers and grandmothers also worried about beauty, and friendships, and boys.What is new, however, is the role of technology in teenage anxiety. We see an inflection point in the early 2010s: a sudden drop in mental wellbeing among teenagers, particularly girls. The beginning of that drop coincided with the arrival of image-based social media like Instagram.My guest today argues that this was not a coincidence. Freya India is the author of the Substack GIRLS, where she writes about the challenges girls and young women face in the modern world. She's also a staff writer for Jonathan Haidt's newsletter, After Babel.Her new book is about the ways in which communication technology has given us a world in which teenage girls end up commodifying themselves – selling their lives on social media, advertising themselves on dating apps, and packaging themselves into personal brands. All at the cost of their own sanity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was coined in a 1958 novel written by the British social scientist Michael Young. In the dystopia that Young imagined, the old order has been overthrown and replaced with a tyrannical system obsessed with merit. Today's guest not only joins Young in his critique of meritocracy, he also takes a further bold step in endorsing some extremely old fashioned ideas about wealth, family, and legacy. In an age when celebrities routinely boast about their plans to disinherit their children and leave them to fend for themselves financially, Johann Kurtz makes a counter-cultural argument for nepotism. Do not give your money to charity, he says. Do not encourage your children to launch themselves into the meritocratic rat race. Learn, instead, from the ancient practices of aristocrats who had very different ideas about how to cultivate virtue in their descendants. Kurtz is the author of the 'Becoming Noble' Substack.

Owers traces our contemporary culture war back to the end of the seventeenth century, when the conflict between Whigs and Tories was the central drama of English politics. One side was isolationist, opposed to immigration, and preferred a small state. The other was open to the rest of the world, and had ambitious plans for tax rises and state expansion. The two sides differed on the role of religion in public life, and on which ideas and symbols ought to be considered sacred. Does any of this sound familiar? Owers argues that we are still seeing this drama play out, not just in England but across the Anglosphere. Our political conflicts are still theological conflicts, and they are surpassingly important. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"So powerful, in fact, is simple string in taming the world to human will and ingenuity that I suspect it to be the unseen weapon that allowed the human race to conquer the earth." That's a quote from 'Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years', Elizabeth Wayland Barber's landmark contribution to archeology, recently re-published in the form of a 30th anniversary edition. Wayland-Barber argues that the creation of string, and later of weaving, was one of the most crucial innovations in human history. And it was the work of women. Up until really very recently in human history, the creation of textiles was an extraordinarily time consuming and important aspect of women's daily lives. If we had not undergone the 'string revolution', we would not have been able to keep ourselves warm in cold weather, to use textiles for hunting, and to develop various complex tools essential for human survival. It's no wonder that spinning and weaving have such a central role in mythology. Today we examine the ancient connection between spinning thread and creating life.

Charles Murray is a political scientist best known for his work on intelligence, socioeconomics, and the American welfare state. In books including 'Losing Ground' (1984), 'The Bell Curve' (1994), and 'Coming Apart' (2012), Murray has offered an interpretation of the world that foregrounds the role of genetic luck in social outcomes. A lot of people dislike this interpretation, to put it mildly. But I'm convinced by the evidence that genetic luck is important, and that we can't ignore this factor when trying to make sense of the world. One profound problem that we face in the twenty-first century derives from the fact that unusually intelligent people – i.e. people who have lucked out in terms of both their genetics and their environments – are often very bad at understanding how others experience the world. Murray describes a process we've undergone since the end of the Second World War whereby a new cognitive elite has become increasingly isolated – socially and geographically – from the rest of society. This distance encourages feelings of contempt towards people further down the class system, who in turn feel anger at the ways in which they are misgoverned by an elite that feels no sense of noblesse oblige. The result has been bitter political polarisation – one of the many subjects that we discuss in today's episode.

In this full-length Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski brings together the complete story of Donna Adelson, the woman prosecutors say sat at the center of one of Florida's most cold-blooded murder-for-hire conspiracies. With three co-conspirators already convicted—including her son Charlie—Donna is now the final alleged architect heading toward trial, and this episode lays out the entire case: the family pressure, the money trail, the coded prison calls, and the psychology of a matriarch accused of pulling the strings. We begin with the internal dynamics of the Adelson family, where prosecutors argue Donna exercised powerful influence over major decisions, including the bitter custody dispute with Dan Markel. We examine the alleged $1 million relocation offer, the threatening language about religious upbringing, the burst of phone calls on the day of the murder, and the suspicious financial pipeline prosecutors say flowed from the Adelsons to Katherine Magbanua—all pieces the state will use to argue Donna wasn't a bystander, but a driving force. Tony, alongside legal analyst Eric Faddis, breaks down the prosecution's likely strategy: emphasizing the established conspiracy convictions of others, introducing Donna's coded language on jail calls, highlighting the abrupt Vietnam one-way ticket, and showing jurors a pattern of decisions that point to intent. At the same time, we explore how the defense may try to reframe Donna as a sympathetic grandmother swept into chaos she didn't create. We also dive into Donna's public and private narrative control—interrogating her recorded jail calls, emotional shifts, strategic omissions, and the way she shapes conversations with family members still outside the system. Even from behind bars, her influence continues. Finally, we look ahead to the fallout: the psychological toll on the Markel children, the Adelson grandchildren's future, the long-term identity fracture of carrying a notorious last name, and the intergenerational trauma that will ripple long after the verdict is read. This is more than evidence. This is a story of power, manipulation, loyalty, and the catastrophic consequences of a single decision that changed two families forever. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #CharlieAdelson #KatherineMagbanua #FloridaCrime #ProsecutionStrategy #EricFaddis #FamilyDynamics Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We have seen an extraordinary change in attitudes towards gay and lesbian people over the last half century in the West. Within living memory, homosexuality was criminalised. Now, same-sex couples can get married and share custody of children. This is nothing short of a moral revolution. Plenty of progressives think, not only that this change was inevitable, but also that further liberalisation is inevitable. My guests today are not so sure. They note that, for the first time in a long time, younger people on average are less accepting of homosexuality than are slightly older people. Perhaps this is a result of immigration patterns. Perhaps it's a result of strategic errors made by activists. I'm joined by three people who all agree that something has gone wrong, although they disagree – subtly – on exactly how and why. Ronan McCrea is professor of constitutional and European law at University College London and the author of 'The End of the Gay Rights Revolution: How Hubris and Overreach Threaten Gay Freedom.' Matthew Vines the the Founder and Executive Director of The Reformation Project and the author of 'God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships.'And Julie Bindel is a journalist, broadcaster, author, and the co-founder and co-director of The Lesbian Project.All of these guests share a concern that the wins of the gay rights movement are very fragile. There is a very real possibility that we will look back on the early twenty-first century as an historical blip – a brief moment of victory that was squandered. We ask how that fate might be avoided.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, this full-length special brings together all four parts of our deep investigation into the case of Donna Adelson — the grandmother, mother, and alleged mastermind at the center of one of Florida's most shocking murder-for-hire conspiracies. This is the complete, unbroken story — from the private family dynamics that prosecutors say sparked a deadly plot, to the public trial that could end with Donna spending the rest of her life behind bars. We begin inside the Adelson family, where Donna's influence allegedly shaped everything — including her children's decisions and the years-long feud with Florida State law professor Dan Markel. The state claims Donna's control and obsession with family “image” turned toxic, driving the financial schemes, the $1 million relocation bribe offer, and the custody-fueled resentment that ultimately led to murder. Next, we break down Donna's public and private narrative control — from the coded language in her jail calls to her tone-shifting conversations designed to manipulate both family and public perception. Even behind bars, her words carry weight, painting herself as a misunderstood matriarch while sidestepping accountability. Then comes her biggest gamble yet — the possibility of testifying in her own defense. Alongside Defense Attorney Eric Faddis, we explore the psychology, confidence, and potential ego behind that decision. Could Donna's instinct for control be the very thing that exposes her to devastating cross-examination?
