In this episode, we dive into the arc of the Vain Controller, the shadowy force behind performative success, image obsession, and the illusion of perfection. Known in our Inner Villain deck as Regina George (yes, that Regina George), this archetype reveals the ways we chase validation, status, and admiration—often at the cost of authenticity and trust.We unpack:Why “people pleasing” is just one face of deeper shape-shifting strategies to stay safe and resourced.How the Vain Controller expresses in culture, including its Human Design (undefined heart/ego), Enneagram type (3), and root wound (betrayal).The burn book logic of self-sabotage: When controlling image becomes more important than truth.The connection between this archetype and narcissistic personality traits—and how healing doesn't require shame, but rather, courage to be seen.The deeper spiritual medicine of trust and redefinition of success that liberates the Inventor (the transformed form of this archetype).Why “faking good” might be the most dangerous form of self-abandonment.Plus, two Am I the Asshole case studies that illuminate the painful edge between vanity, betrayal, and the fear of losing power.Key Archetypal Stages Covered:Pinnacle Villain: The Vain Controller – The one who would burn down her own castle if it meant staying on top.Successful Antagonist: The Influencer – Bulletproof facade, all approval, no intimacy.Wounded Child: The Envious – The one who mistakes wealth and appearance for worth.Covert Form: The Compliant – Faking good, performing growth, staying hidden behind praise.Hero: The Unveiled – Naked truth. Willing to lose clout to find connection.Legend: The Inventor – Rebuilding from authentic resources, turning passion into purpose.We also touch on:The time periods and cultural climates that amplify this archetype (hello, 1980s).The trap of ambition without desire.Why so many “successful” people are secretly crumbling from a lack of real trust.And how to recognize when this archetype is showing up in your work, relationships, or self-image.This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they needed to look good while falling apart, or who's ready to be seen for real—not just admired.Referenced in the episode:Mean Girls (film)The Emperor's New Clothes (folktale)Human Design: Undefined Heart/Ego CenterEnneagram Type 3 (The Achiever)“Am I the Asshole?” Reddit postsComing soon: The Inner Villain Transformation Deck launches on Kickstarter later this year.

In this pivotal episode, as the U.S. heads into a presidential election year, the conversation around parental rights takes center stage. We delve into the controversial stance of libertarian candidate Chase Oliver, who advocates for parental consent in administering gender-affirming treatments to minors. Meanwhile, we contrast the American debate with developments in Europe where countries like Sweden, Norway, and France have begun to classify such treatments as experimental. These nations recommend prioritizing psychological support and are cautious about the physical interventions, pointing out the significant risks and uncertain benefits associated with them.

Extraction and Exploitation in the Global South under the Decarbonization Consensus and Theories and Praxis for a Just TransitionDiscussion with Professor Miriam Lang and Mary Ann Manahan on how current energy transition efforts are framed under a colonialist narrative that continues and entrenches extraction, exploitation and interference in the Global South. We discuss how the Global North is utilizing emergency framing to create sacrifice zones across the Global South, rife with environmental destruction, resource depletion, land grabbing and human rights violations. We also discuss how renewable energy infrastructure mega projects in the Global South impede local resources while failing to alleviate energy poverty, and the deception and detrimental impact of creative carbon offset accounting. Additionally, we look at the continued internalization of externalities in the Global South, saddled with odious debt and subject to the corrupt ISDS system, creating economic vulnerability and democratic deficits. We also discuss grassroots ecological movements and how we can move from green colonialism to create an equitable and ecological transition.For More Info: http://thegravity.fm/#/episode/65

Due to some audio issues the scripture reading was not recorded for this sermon. Here is the passage (Colossians 2:20–3:17):Colossians 220 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations– 21 "Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch" 22 (referring to things that all perish as they are used)–according to human precepts and teachings? 23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.Colossians 31 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

God is the one who gives us “new clothes” and restores our identity as His children. Genesis 41:1-14, 25-33, 39-42 [1] After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile, [2] and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, attractive and plump, and they fed in the reed grass. [3] And behold, seven other cows, ugly and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile. [4] And the ugly, thin cows ate up the seven attractive, plump cows. And Pharaoh awoke. [5] And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time. And behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk. [6] And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind. [7] And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump, full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream. [8] So in the morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh. [9] Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “I remember my offenses today. [10] When Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, [11] we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own interpretation. [12] A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream. [13] And as he interpreted to us, so it came about. I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged.” [14] Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh. [25] Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. [26] The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one. [27] The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind are also seven years of famine. [28] It is as I told Pharaoh; God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do. [29] There will come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt, [30] but after them there will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land, [31] and the plenty will be unknown in the land by reason of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe. [32] And the doubling of Pharaoh's dream means that the thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it about. [33] Now therefore let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt. [39] Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are. [40] You shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command. Only as regards the throne will I be greater than you.” [41] And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” [42] Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck.
In this episode of English and Beyond: Advanced Edition, Oliver and César explore a question we all secretly ask ourselves: “Do I actually like this… or do I just think I'm supposed to?” From five-star restaurants and summer holidays to podcasts and museums, they take a light-hearted but honest look at things that might be a little overrated, a bit overhyped, or just not all they're cracked up to be.Along the way, they revisit The Emperor's New Clothes as a perfect metaphor for modern trends, and unpack the advanced English you need to talk about personal taste, pressure, and public opinion — including words and phrases like pretentious, mainstream, underwhelming, and jump on the bandwagon.This is a funny, reflective, vocabulary-rich episode about honesty, hype, and the freedom of saying “meh.”

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** Is it permissible to make special purchases, such as buying new clothing or other significant items, during the period of the Omer, when we observe certain mourning practices? Rav Haim Palachi (Turkey, 1788-1869), in his work Mo'ed Le'kol Hai (6:12; listen to audio recording for precise citation), writes that it is proper to refrain from purchasing new garments or other significant items during the Omer period, as part of the observance of mourning. This was view of a number of other authorities, as well. It appears, however, that the Shulhan Aruch did not subscribe to this ruling. In his discussion of the mourning practices observed during the Omer, the Shulhan Aruch mentions only that one should refrain from haircutting, and that weddings should not be held during this period. He makes no mention at all of making purchases, as he does in the context of the customs of the three weeks between Shiba Asar Be'Tamuz and Tisha B'Ab. It would thus appear that the Shulhan Aruch permits purchasing new clothes and other articles during the Omer period, and this is indeed the ruling of Hacham Ben Sion Abba Shaul (Israel, 1923-1998). By the same token, it is permissible to recite the Beracha of "She'heheyanu" over a new garment and the like during the period of Sefirat Ha'omer, as the mourning observances of Sefira do not extend to new purchases. Summary: It is permissible to purchase new garments and other items, and to recite "She'heheyanu" over new garments, during the Omer period.

Andy Wirth and Tony Harris moved halfway across the world to help build Neom: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's futuristic new city in the Saudi desert. But what they found wasn't the desert utopia of Neom's marketing. Instead, they found a project bleeding cash, led by a screaming CEO, where very little was actually being built. WSJ's Rory Jones and Eliot Brown explain how Neom fell years behind schedule – and went billions of dollars over-budget – thanks to a culture of runaway spending and never telling the boss “no.” Hosted by Ryan Knutson.

How do patterns of manipulation take root and hold sway, even within seemingly spiritual and empowering mentorships?In this eighth episode of the Bewitched series, we welcome Louisa Havers, a long-time associate and former teacher within Betty's Akashic Records community. Louisa offers a unique and deeply insightful perspective on the evolution of her relationship with Betty, revealing the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which patterns of manipulation emerged and the ultimate impact on her and others .Louisa shares what initially drew her to Betty – a strong intuitive pull towards learning the Akashic Records. She recounts her early experiences, including a shocking and unfounded personal reading that, while not resonating with her, established Betty as someone with seemingly profound and unquestionable insight.As Louisa's involvement deepened, she began to witness troubling patterns: Unethical behavior in group settings, the use of spiritual concepts to justify harsh and exclusionary actions, experiences of feeling compelled to engage in programs despite inner reservations, among others.Louisa shares a significant shift in Betty's demeanor and focus around 2020, marked by an intense preoccupation with conspiracy theories and a paranoia that permeated her teachings.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(00:55) In Today's Episode...

The classic folktale.
Our guest today is Anat Admati, professor of Finance and Economics at Stanford Graduate School of Business and co-author of The Bankers' New Clothes. In this episode, she takes a critical look at trust in powerful institutions—arguing that, when misplaced, trust can be not only naive but dangerous. Anat explains that much of the financial system operates on the illusion of oversight and accountability. While many believe that governments, regulators, and boards are safeguarding the public interest, the reality is often one of regulatory capture, corporate self-interest, and systemic opacity. She challenges listeners to rethink assumptions about “checks and balances” in modern capitalism. She also reflects on the role of academics and public intellectuals in holding power to account. While research often stays behind paywalls or within elite circles, Admati calls on scholars to engage more directly with public discourse—and describes the resistance they often face when challenging the status quo. The conversation covers trust, leadership, corporate governance, and the failures of financial reform. Anat argues that effective change requires more than technical fixes—it requires moral courage, transparency, and a willingness to challenge institutional convenience.
Tonight, we'll read the first half to “The Little Mermaid” written by Hans Christian Andersen and adapted by Snoozecast. The second half will air in our next episode. This story follows the journey of a young mermaid who is willing to give up her life in the sea as a mermaid in order to marry a prince and become human. Originally published in 1837, The Little Mermaid was part of a collection simply titled Fairy Tales Told for Children. Andersen, a Danish author known for his poetic and sometimes melancholy storytelling, wrote many tales that have become classics, including The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor's New Clothes, and The Snow Queen. Unlike the cheerful retellings most children grow up with today, Andersen's original mermaid tale is more bittersweet, filled with longing, sacrifice, and questions about the soul. The story is notable for its vivid underwater world, where mermaids live for centuries but do not possess immortal souls, and where the surface world is mysterious and dangerous. The little mermaid, youngest of her sisters, is drawn not just to the handsome prince she saves, but to the idea of a different kind of existence—one filled with love, human emotion, and perhaps, a soul of her own. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

There is considerable angst being expressed about the impact that the new administration will have on higher education. There is worry that the sector is being targeted in the executive orders that are flowing from Washington, as well as by state governments. In this episode I'll try to sort out some of the rhetoric from reality. I'll look at the evolving relationship of government to higher education and how higher ed might fare going forward. And why none of it should come as a surprise. EdUp Insights with Bill Pepicello is part of the EdUp Experience Podcast network
