This Hump Day Wednesday gets deliciously wicked as I play one of G's fantasies that had me grinning the whole time.
In January 1776, Thomas Paine told the American colonies to break free from their king. But what was supposed to come next? 250 years later, that question still doesn't have a good answer. To mark the anniversary of *Common Sense*, we traveled to Lewes, England, the town where Paine lived before he ever set foot in America, and recorded our first-ever LIVE episode inside Bull House, the building where Paine honed his ideas about citizens and their government. Joseph Adelman chairs a panel with scholars Leanne O'Boyle, Nicole Mahoney, and Jeanne Sheehan Zaino as they dig into the legacy of *Common Sense*: democracy's "day two problem," the women Paine wrote out of his own story, why "the law is king" keeps showing up on protest signs, and what a 15th-century building in a small English town can teach us about where democratic ideas actually take root. Recorded live in partnership with the Institute for Thomas Paine Studies at Iona University.Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/435 EPISODE OUTLINE00:00:00 Introduction00:01:06 What Happened After the Revolution?00:02:59 Live from the Bull House in Lewes, England00:04:49 A Template for Common Sense and Civic Life00:07:12 Thomas Paine's Legacy in Lewes, England00:10:24 Thomas Paine's Legacy in New Rochelle, New York00:16:04 Democracy's "Day Two Problem"00:22:50 Local Civic Engagement in Lewes00:27:46 Women and Common Sense00:34:54 Paine's Family Life in Lewes00:35:31 Reconstituting Government00:42:44 Violence and Change00:49:31 "No Kings" Protest and 'The Law is King'00:56:29 Thomas Paine's Legacy00:58:10 Audience Q&A01:18:20 Episode Wrap-UpRECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODES

For simple actionable tips to grow your business, subscribe to The FoundHer Files Attention from the media can change the trajectory of a brand, but it is rarely the full story. In this episode of Dear FoundHer, Lindsay Pinchuk sits down with Elyce Arons to talk about what getting press really did for her business and how it influenced long term growth. If you are focused on founder visibility and questioning how getting press translates into revenue, this conversation offers valuable insight.Elyce shares one of the most grounded real founder stories about building Kate Spade and later launching Frances Valentine. She shares stories of meeting Katie in college, how the business really started in Katie and Andy's loft, and how getting press created credibility and momentum for the handbag company, especially in a pre-social media era. Elyce explains that disciplined execution turned that visibility into demand. Publicity can spark interest, but managing rapid growth is what determines whether a company can sustain it.They also discuss scaling responsibly when cash flow is tight and every decision carries so much weight. Elyce reflects on motherhood and entrepreneurship and how her priorities evolved as her business grew. This episode is for founders who want stronger visibility, are navigating expansion, or are thinking carefully about how to build something that lasts well beyond early recognition.Episode Breakdown:00:01 Elyce Arons On Building Kate Spade And Starting Over With Frances Valentine02:03 From Kansas To New York: The Friendship That Started It All10:27 The Small Branding Choice That Made Kate Spade Instantly Recognizable12:44 Getting Press Before Social Media: Editorial Coverage As A Growth Engine16:57 Managing Rapid Growth And The Decision To Sell Kate Spade20:22 Motherhood And Entrepreneurship After Exit: Identity And Chapter Two25:05 Leading Frances Valentine Through Loss And Protecting Katie's Legacy41:29 3 Lessons For Women Founders On Experience, Funding, And Trusting Your GutConnect with Elyce Arons:Follow Elyce on InstagramFollow Frances Valentine on InstagramFoundHer Faves:Varley Wide Leg PantsPetite Plume Pajama SetMidi Health Daily Fiber+CreatineMenopause Survival KitThe MenopsychologistUpskill DevelopmentalJoin our online networking community: Dear FoundHer Forum Follow Dear FoundHer on InstagramPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

Thirteen men walked into the woods of Paturis Park seeking a moment of freedom, only to be met by a predator who treated their lives like a "social cleansing." In a case where the justice system's silence was as deafening as the gunshots, the line between the hunters and the law began to blur.From 2007 to 2008, the busy suburbs of São Paulo were haunted by a serial killer who specifically targeted gay and bisexual men in their most vulnerable sanctuaries. This chilling gay murder case exposed the deep-rooted "impunity" within the Brazilian legal system, where victims were blamed for their own deaths and the investigation was sabotaged by systemic bias. Join us as we track the hunt for the Rainbow Maniac, explore the high-stakes DHPP investigation into a retired military officer, and examine one of the most prolific unsolved LGBTQ+ mysteries in true crime history. This episode dives deep into a queer history of survival and the 2011 trial that left an entire community demanding justice.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ true crime from a perspective you won't find anywhere else. Hosted on Acast.

Women's History Month is here, and Nikki & Brie are turning it into a full-on movement on The Nikki & Brie Show. This isn't a “check the calendar” moment. It's about honoring resilience, leadership, impact, and the stories that built the world we're living in. All month long, they're bringing you a stacked lineup of badass women, from WWE Superstars to elite athletes, authors, journalists, and trailblazers across every lane, all showing up with the real, the raw, and the tools that helped them rise. In this kickoff episode, the twins get personal about why this series matters now. Nikki breaks down how recent Women's History Month truly is (1987!), and why that reminder hits different when you realize how close we still are to the fight for basic rights and recognition. Brie dives into the “behind the curtain” cost of breaking barriers, from giving up privacy to being judged forever off old moments, and why she'd still choose purpose over comfort every time. Together they talk persistence, unlearning people-pleasing, setting boundaries, and how sometimes the only way to be heard is to break the rules just enough to change the game. The episode wraps with an Inspiration & Affirmation that honors the woman who knows she brings value everywhere she goes! Get ready for a month of truth, evolution, and pure inspiration.

Marine protected areas now cover more than 8 percent of the global ocean. Governments announce new boundaries. Press releases celebrate historic milestones. But here is the uncomfortable truth: a line on a map does not stop illegal fishing. In this episode, we break down why enforcement, not designation, is the real driver of ocean recovery, and why many so called protected areas still struggle with noncompliance. Enforcement capacity, staffing levels, and stable funding predict ecological success better than size alone. Drawing on findings from Gill et al. 2017 in Nature, we examine how marine protected areas with adequate patrols and monitoring can have up to three times higher fish biomass than underfunded sites. From Papahānaumokuākea in Hawaiʻi to Bonaire, Cabo Pulmo, and the Great Barrier Reef, the pattern is consistent: where officers are present, and budgets are stable, ecosystems recover. Where patrol boats sit docked, illegal fishing continues. This episode also explores what happens when funding collapses, patrols are interrupted, and monitoring programs end. Weak enforcement creates gaps. Gaps invite intrusion. And once trust erodes within coastal communities, compliance becomes harder to rebuild. Protection works when it is real. Real protection requires presence. If you care about whether ocean conservation promises actually deliver results, this episode will change how you think about marine protection.

This final session is about sustainable productivity: the kind that doesn't rely on pressure, perfectionism, or overworking. Instead, you'll reconnect to clarity, perspective, and inner steadiness—so you can keep getting things done with grace.

Choose one "Elegant Productivity Anchor" for the week ahead—one small habit you'll repeat daily (example: one-minute breath reset before starting work, or selecting one priority before checking messages) As you finish this series, you're not just completing a week—you're building a new relationship with productivity: centered, clear, and kind. Press play and let today's meditation set the tone for a more peaceful, focused life.

"Maybe I'll just give it more time. I'm not ready. I'll see how I feel in a few months." It sounds responsible. It sounds patient. It even sounds spiritual. But what if "wait and see" isn't neutral? What if staying stuck is costing you more than you realize? In today's episode, we are having an honest conversation about the real price of staying stuck after child loss. Time alone does not rebuild what grief has fractured, and today, we explore how to recognize when the Holy Spirit is telling you that you've stayed at this mountain long enough. I'm talking about the mountain of pain that you bear every day. I want to help you move to a place where remembering with more love than pain is possible. You'll be invited to look honestly at whether waiting is protecting your heart… or keeping you from what the Holy Spirit has for you. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Illusion of Safety: Why we mistake "standing still" for "staying safe" and how it leads to isolation. The Four Questions of Discernment: A gentle self-check to see if waiting is shrinking your world or keeping you behind a heavy mask. Deuteronomy 1:6: Understanding God's perspective on when it is time to break camp and move forward from the mountain of pain. Fear vs. The Holy Spirit: How to distinguish between the scream of fear and the gentle whisper of God's "more" for your life. The Power of the Group: Why 14 moms have already decided to stop waiting and start walking together on March 5th. If you've been circling the same emotional ground and wondering whether anything will actually change, this conversation will help you name what's really happening — and challenge you to consider your next brave step. Press play, and let's talk about what waiting may be costing you… and what God might be inviting you into instead. ✨ YOUR INVITATION: THE GRIEF ROADMAP ✨ "I've stayed at this mountain long enough." If those words are echoing in your heart today, I want you to know that you don't have to navigate the path forward alone. The Grief Roadmap isn't just a course—it is a 12-week, intimate small group mentoring experience designed specifically for the mom who is tired of just holding it together...and ready to finally untangle the hidden layers of her loss. This is your safe space to exhale. It is a community of moms who truly get it—who understand the silence, the questions, and the weight of the "what-ifs." Together, we walk through a structured, faith-based journey to move from being paralyzed by pain to being held by hope. What's Waiting For You Inside: 12 Weeks of Mentoring: Direct guidance from me, your Grief Mentor, as we walk this path step-by-step. A Community That Understands: Stop explaining your pain and start being understood by women who speak your language. A Proven Path: We don't just talk about grief; we process it using the tools you need to breathe again.

I AM Beautiful Wild Free: A Guided Affirmation and Meditation Podcast
[Season 6, Episode 27] In this clarifying and Christ-centered episode of the I AM Beautiful Wild Free Podcast, we boldly declare: I AM Focused.
This episode takes you on a genre-blending journey where electro soul, R&B, hip-hop, dance, pop, and classic soul collide with the pulse of house music. From smooth vocals riding four-on-the-floor grooves to classic R&B and hip-hop reimagined for the dancefloor, Episode 307 delivers feel-good energy with soulful depth and club-ready rhythm. It's a fusion of past, present, and future — where melodies meet movement and emotion meets basslines. Whether you're vibing at home, driving through the city, or locked into the dancefloor mindset, this mix is built to uplift, groove, and keep your head nodding from start to finish. Press play and let the house-infused soul take over.
Cinematography is where intention meets execution — in the choice of lens, the placement of light, and the movement of the camera. For Episode 9 of Below the Line's 2026 Oscar series, we turn to the nominees for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography at the 98th Academy Awards. Skid is joined by cinematographers Patrick Cady and David Tuttman, who return to examine this year's field from the inside — balancing technical precision, aesthetic philosophy, and the lived reality of production. As with the rest of this year's Oscar series, the conversation is available both as an audio podcast and as a full video episode on YouTube. In this episode, the conversation explores: • The “military operation of joy” behind Frankenstein — and how large-format photography, depth of field, and camera movement supported a unified creative vision • The disciplined exposure control and 1970s-influenced grit of Marty Supreme, shot largely on film with exacting precision • The ambitious VistaVision approach of One Battle After Another, and why certain sequences demand to be seen on the biggest screen possible • The bold format shifts and musical visual language of Sinners, including the challenge of blending IMAX, 70mm, and intimate close-ups • The natural-light philosophy of Train Dreams, and why “lighting with fire” is anything but simple • Patrick's case for five additional films he believes deserved recognition — and what that reveals about how deep this year's cinematography field really is Along the way, Patrick and David reflect on film versus digital workflows, lens design, aspect ratios, shutter angle choices, and the subtle collaboration between cinematography, production design, and performance. The discussion moves easily between the granular (film stocks, lenses, exposure latitude) and the philosophical (joy in the process, trust between departments, and how cinematography shapes story without announcing itself).

Presented by Julie Busteed I've been reflecting on some of Jesus' sayings—his proverbs—and I've noticed how often they return to the posture of the heart. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says, blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God (Matthew 5:8). That raises an important question: what does it mean to have a pure heart? We often assume a pure heart means doing everything right—appearing polished and put together on the outside. But that kind of purity is rooted in our own striving, and it doesn't work. It doesn't last. It isn't sustainable. Scripture tells us the truth about our condition: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick (Jeremiah 17:9). Have you ever surprised yourself with your own reaction—something you said, thought, or felt—and wondered, where did that come from? It wasn't how you wanted to respond, yet it was real. The human heart is complex, deceptive, and difficult to understand. But when our hearts are turned toward purity, this posture gives the Holy Spirit room to work in us and through us. What difference does a pure heart make in the workplace? It shows up in genuine joy when a coworker receives a promotion or praise. It looks like helping others even when it doesn't advance your own position. It means refusing to gossip, choosing authenticity, and living with integrity when no one is watching. The right heart begins with humility. Scripture often speaks of a broken or crushed heart as a picture of humility. This kind of brokenness is essential, because a hard or stony heart will not submit to God's will. We pray with the psalmist, create in me a clean heart, O God (Psalm 51:10). Jesus promises it is the pure in heart who will see God. And when we invite Christ to dwell in our hearts, everything changes. This is why Paul's prayer for the Ephesians is such a powerful one to pray: I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power…to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:16–19). Oh, that you and I would know this love—love that surpasses everything else—and be filled with it. Press on. Don't be discouraged. The work God is doing in the heart is often slow and unseen, but it is never wasted.

Welcome back, WIFs! This week we're setting the cozy mood and talking about something that clearly struck a nerve — the pressure to constantly improve, optimize, upgrade, biohack, and basically turn your entire life into a self-development experiment.Inspired by a reel that sparked a big response, we're unpacking why so many women feel tired of being told they are a project to fix. This isn't anti-growth — it's anti-relentless optimization.We chat about information overload, the wellness industry machine, cold plunges and supplement stacks, and the quiet privilege baked into routines that require unlimited time, money, and mental bandwidth.We also catch up on everything from women-in-country magic and Olympic daydreaming to why curling just isn't doing it for us, plus what we're reading (Somatic Therapy Workbook), watching (Eyes Wide Shut — buckle up), and listening to (The Epstein Files episode of We Can Do Hard Things… prepare to suck your thumb).And of course, we share our Simple Joys of the week — leaning into sweet co-sleeping cuddles that won't last forever and finding unexpected delight at a college tours. Press play, snuggle up, and remember… you don't need to optimize your life to prove it matters.Resources: We Can Do hard Things - The Epstein FilesFollow Us!

The biggest predictor? Not grand gestures. Not passion. Not compatibility quizzes.It was how partners responded to bids for connection.Today the gals explore:

With Dr. Jeanie Iberlin Author of The Transformational Power of Feeling In this episode, I sit down with transformational coach and author Dr. Jeanie Iberlin to explore something we don't talk about enough — the power of feeling. Not bypassing. Not overthinking. But actually feeling. Jeanie shares how our emotions are not obstacles — they are doorways. Doorways back to our soul. Doorways to clearing old conditioning, past trauma, and inherited stories that aren't truly ours. We talk about: ✨ Why feeling is the gateway to transformation ✨ What it really means to clear away conditioning ✨ How to reconnect to who you really are beneath the noise Her book, The Transformational Power of Feeling, is an invitation to stop running from discomfort and instead allow it to guide you home to yourself. And at the end of our conversation, Jeanie guides me through a powerful and simple meditation to meet my soul — to quiet the mind, clear the static, and reconnect to that deeper knowing within. You can do it too. If you've been feeling disconnected… stuck in your head… or unsure how to access your own inner guidance, this episode is a gentle doorway inward. Press play. Pause with us. And remember who you are beneath the mental chatter and conditioning. https://jeanieiberlin.com BUY HER BOOK www.audreysuttonmills.com

Why are morning routines and bedtime routines so hard for ADHD and autistic kids? If your mornings feel chaotic… If bedtime turns into battles… If you've tried "sleep hygiene," reward charts, reminders, and it still falls apart… This episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with occupational therapist Dr. Peyton Gemmell to talk about why routines are especially difficult for neurodivergent kids and teens — and what actually helps. Here's what I need you to hear: It's not laziness. It's not defiance. It's executive functioning, sensory processing, transitions, and overwhelm. We break down: • Why morning chaos happens in ADHD and autistic children • How executive functioning impacts routines • Why traditional sleep hygiene advice often isn't enough • The role of sensory regulation in bedtime struggles • How to identify which part of the routine is actually hard • Simple, practical systems that reduce overwhelm (including a powerful visual basket strategy) • How to reduce shame while building real-life skills We also talk about something parents don't hear enough: The same routine will not work forever. Neurodivergent brains need toolkits — not rigid systems. Whether you're a parent, therapist, educator, or a neurodivergent adult trying to build sustainable routines, this episode offers practical, compassionate strategies rooted in neurodiversity-affirming care. If you're tired of feeling frustrated before 8am… If you want to support your child without increasing shame… If you're ready for systems that actually make sense… Press play. Sincerely, Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S. I've got more goodness for you!
