In Australia, no wedding or school dance is complete without the Nutbush, Australia's unofficial national dance. The Nutbush – a simple line dance to the song “Nutbush City Limits,” by Ike and Tina Turner – has become as stereotypically Australian as kangaroos, boomerangs, and Vegemite.And yet, hardly anyone outside of Australia even knows the Nutbush exists. Here at Decoder Ring, we certainly didn't – until we started getting emails from Australians asking us to investigate its origins. How did an American song become the soundtrack for an Australian national tradition? Who invented the iconic steps, and why does every Australian know them?Our producer Max Freedman put on his dancing shoes to get some answers. The global, century-spanning story of the Nutbush involves Australia, Tennessee, Denmark, primary schools, gay discos, and demonstrates that even the goofiest cultural touchstones can go surprisingly deep.In this episode you'll hear from culture journalists David Mack and Angus Kidman; Nutbush researchers Panizza Allmark and Jon Stratton; dance historians Erica Okamura and Richard Powers; Dr. Fiona Chatteur, Jeremy Santolin, and Brian Kerr.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman and edited by Evan Chung, our supervising producer.

No Children for Joseph Smith? Joseph Smith’s plural wives One of the most frequent arguments raised by skeptics of Joseph Smith’s polygamy is the “fertility paradox.” While Joseph Smith fathered several biological children with his first wife, Emma, there are zero verified offspring from his estimated 30 to 40 plural marriages. DNA testing on suspected plural children has continuously ruled out Joseph as the father in every known case. Does this lack of physical evidence prove his plural marriages were non-sexual? According to a statistical analysis by Rick Bennett and a research team, the absence of children is not a biological impossibility, but rather a predictable outcome of history, biology, and law. https://youtu.be/Zz6BpX2wZd0 Statistical Models of Probability Bennett, alongside a team that included OBGYN Dr. Joseph Stanford, built four statistical models to determine the mathematical probability of Joseph Smith having zero children with his plural wives. These models factored in female ovulation cycles and historical documentation of Smith’s whereabouts, assuming no birth control was used: Restricted & Low Models: Assuming very infrequent relations and excluding teenagers and already-married women, the probability of zero children sits between 22% and 47%. Bennett equates this to a coin flip or rolling a double in Monopoly, making zero children a statistically unsurprising outcome. Medium (Consensus) Model: Assuming one or two encounters around the time of the sealing for a broader group of wives, the probability of zero children drops to roughly 9% to 13%. High Model: Only when assuming large possible historical encounters across 37 women does the probability of zero children become statistically microscopic (around 0.03%). Biological Factors and 19th-Century Demographics A significant reason for the lack of children stems from the demographic makeup of Joseph’s plural wives. At least five women were post-menopausal (over age 47) and 11 were “polyandrous” wives already married to other men. Furthermore, several brides were teenagers. Interestingly, poorer nutrition and rigorous physical labor in the 19th century delayed a woman’s first period (menarche) until an average age of 17, meaning many of the youngest wives were likely prepubescent and physically infertile at the time of their sealings (See Dan Vogel’s presentation.) Contraception and the Concept of “Quickening” If the High Model is accurate and sexual relations were frequent, Bennett notes that the Nauvoo community had widespread access to birth control. Popular texts from the 1830s heavily circulated knowledge about methods like the sponge, withdrawal, and highly acidic douching to prevent pregnancies. Additionally, 19th-century medical and Mormon theological consensus believed that a soul did not enter a fetus until “quickening” (around 20 weeks.) Because of this, early herbal interventions used to “restore the menses” were viewed simply as regulating the female body, rather than as abortion or sin. Legal and Theological Survival Ultimately, concealing pregnancies was an absolute necessity for survival. In Illinois, bigamy and adultery were felonies heavily penalized by fines, whipping, and imprisonment. Under the law, a child would serve as incontrovertible physical proof of illicit cohabitation, inviting immediate legal prosecution and mob violence. To avoid exposure, the theology of plural marriage subtly shifted. While originally grounded in an “Abrahamic” mandate to multiply and raise up seed on earth, the practice pivoted to a “Melchizedek” order. This new paradigm was focused on creating secret, dynastic priestly linkages for eternal salvation in the afterlife, entirely bypassing the legal dangers of earthly procreation. In short, the absence of children in Nauvoo polygamy is not a historical impossibility, but a reality forcefully shaped by 19th-century logistics, biology, and the heavy anvil of American law.

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Astrological New Year and Quantum Consciousness Shift This broadcast of Hard News on Friday marks the 2026 Spring Equinox and the Astrological New Year, a pivotal moment of "quantum light speed" transition. The episode weaves together indigenous fire ceremonies, Mayan calendar insights, and a deep astrological analysis of the "Cosmic Jackpot" awaiting specific zodiac signs. It serves as both a spiritual guide and a call to action for the "Age of Aquarius." The Sacred Fire and Global New Year Traditions The session opens with a virtual sacred fire ceremony, honoring the Spring Equinox which serves as the New Year for Persian, Indian, and Chinese cultures. Participants are invited to offer sage, cedar, or tobacco to a virtual flame, symbolically jumping over the fire to release the burdens of the previous year while setting intentions for the new cycle. This ritual is grounded in the invocation of the "Seven Houses"—East, North, West, South, Above, Below, and the Galactic Center—to align wisdom with right action and planetary harmony. Mayan Tzolkin Forecast and Portal Days The week ahead is governed by the Tz'annine (Red Planetary Dragon), emphasizing birth, being, and nurturing. The guidance suggests a shift from self-dependence to a trust in the universal water (the Moon). Notably, the broadcast highlights the commencement of a 10-day series of "Portal Days" starting Wednesday with Kime (White World Bridger). These days are described as high-dimensionality periods where the veil between the past and future thins, requiring individuals to let go of ego-driven control and the belief that life must be a struggle. Geopolitical Awareness and the Star Gate Rama provides a sharp perspective on current global tensions, specifically addressing the "obfuscation" surrounding Iran, the United States, and Israel. He emphasizes the need for accountability regarding international war crimes and highlights the spiritual significance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, describing it as a sentient "Star Gate" on the planet. He asserts that the "Galactics" and the gate itself are aware of any harm directed toward these sacred sites, which are vital to the planet's energetic grid. The Quickening of Consciousness The final segment focuses on a guided meditation regarding the "quickening" of human consciousness. This evolution is characterized by a rising vibration where unconscious patterns can no longer remain hidden. The message encourages listeners to view heightened sensitivity not as a weakness, but as a refinement of perception. The awakening is described as a collective shift where individual presence contributes to the "harmony of the spheres" and the realization that we are unique expressions of a vast, living intelligence. The 2026 Spring Equinox represents a definitive "wipe the slate clean" moment for the collective. By blending ancient Mayan wisdom with current astrological transits, the broadcast emphasizes that the "demolition phase" of the past few weeks has concluded, making way for a period of bold construction and personal power. As the Age of Aquarius dawns, the "people have the power" to transmute energy and manifest a new reality through conscious awareness.
This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Nic Woolfe to roll out and revisit Transformers: The Movie (1986)! We dig into the film's bold tonal shift, unforgettable soundtrack, and the shocking moments that left an entire generation of kids staring at the screen in disbelief. Does this animated cult classic still have the touch… or does it dare to be stupid?

Cult Classic Status from Bold Choices (00:39) The film's decision to kill most of the original cast early was a major risk that shaped its lasting appeal. This choice was tied to marketing a new toy line, forcing the removal of older characters to introduce new ones. The high character death count was unusual for 1980s cartoons but resonated as a memorable and impactful narrative choice. Sam Alicea emphasized the movie's unique "music video" style and violent tone as key to its charm. Soundtrack as a Defining Feature (00:29) The film features a heavy metal soundtrack with songs like "The Touch" and Weird Al Yankovic's contribution, which remain popular. Sam highlighted the soundtrack's role in making the movie enjoyable even when used as background during chores. The soundtrack's placement sometimes felt forced but added to the overall energetic vibe of the film. The music helped cement the movie's nostalgic value and cultural impact beyond just the story. Animation Quality and Style (00:32) The animation is a mix of highly detailed hand-drawn sequences and inconsistent lower-budget scenes. Key moments like Unicron's introduction and the transformation of Galvatron show impressive craftsmanship. Some sequences, such as Autobot City's transformation, defy logic but maintain visual excitement. The movie's aesthetic reflects typical 1980s animation with a blend of impressive and sloppy elements. Character and Design Highlights (00:14, 00:33) The introduction of new characters like Hot Rod and Cup served marketing goals but received mixed reception; some preferred legacy characters instead. The Dinobots, especially Grimlock, were fan favorites noted for their personality and screen presence. Decepticons like Galvatron and Starscream stood out, with Starscream's treacherous antics praised. New designs leaned toward smoother, rounded shapes compared to the original blockier forms, signaling the toy line shift. Strategic Marketing and Toy Line Impact The movie functioned primarily as a vehicle to launch a new toy line, influencing story and character decisions deeply (00:12, 00:16). Toy Line Rollout Drives Plot and Character Fate (00:12) Killing off legacy characters cleared the stage for a new roster designed to sell fresh toys. Characters like Cup were introduced primarily to support new toy sales rather than story needs, frustrating some fans. Hot Rod's arc was designed to establish a fresh hero while maintaining toyetic appeal. The shift to new designs reflected a strategic move to modernize the brand and stimulate consumer interest. Balancing Narrative and Marketing Needs (00:16) The movie's story and character choices sometimes sacrificed cohesion for toy marketing goals. Legacy characters like Perceptor and the Dinobots were retained to maintain continuity and fan connection. Some characters, like Ultra Magnus, were less favored due to lack of narrative effectiveness but existed for toy continuity. The film's pacing and tone reflected the tension between storytelling and commercial objectives. Voice Cast and Star Power Usage (00:24) Leonard Nimoy's casting as Galvatron was a notable stunt but was not sustained beyond the movie. Orson Welles' last role as Unicron added gravitas despite limited credit and technical challenges with his audio. Voice changes and stunt casting decisions were influenced by budget and potential marketing impact. The cast choices reflect a blend of marketing intent and creative ambition. Narrative and Character Development Critiques The movie's storytelling assumes audience familiarity and presents mixed character arcs, impacting accessibility and engagement (00:38, 00:59). High Barrier for New Viewers (00:38) Nick Wolfe identified the movie as not beginner-friendly, expecting viewers to know extensive Transformers lore. The lack of exposition around key characters and events made it confusing for newcomers. Proposed solutions included adding narrated backstory and flashbacks to ease new viewers into the plot. This gap likely contributed to the movie's commercial failure despite strong fan following. Character Arcs and Roles (00:16, 00:59) Hot Rod's character is a flawed hero whose leadership rise felt unearned, creating mixed audience reception. Cup's role was criticized for being a new character inserted mainly for toy reasons rather than story depth. The pitch suggested replacing Cup with a legacy character like Ironhide to strengthen narrative bonds. Optimus Prime's death remains a pivotal emotional moment but complicates continuity and future storytelling. Supporting Characters and Dynamics (01:06, 01:09) Grimlock's interactions with Hot Rod added needed conflict and character development. Supporting characters like RC and Springer were noted as effective background players without overwhelming the story. Starscream's consistent treachery was highlighted as a strong character trait enhancing the villain dynamic. There was consensus that some Decepticon characters disappeared too quickly, weakening the villain ensemble. Proposed Improvements and Alternate Pitch Nick Wolfe's detailed pitch aimed to make the movie more accessible, coherent, and emotionally resonant without losing core elements (00:39, 00:42). Introductory Narration and Flashbacks (00:42) Suggested opening with Optimus Prime narrating key backstory events to orient new viewers. Including flashbacks to important episodes would provide context for the war, characters, and stakes. This would bridge the gap between fans and newcomers, enhancing story clarity. It also sets up the importance of Energon and Autobot City more clearly. Expanded Character Development and Role Reassignments (00:43, 00:51) Proposed making Cup more like Ironhide or Tanker (an original draft character) to improve narrative depth. Hot Rod would be shown as a capable fighter before his failures, building audience empathy. Grimlock and Hot Rod's relationship would be deepened with conflict and eventual teamwork. Optimus Prime would be critically wounded but kept alive on life support, preserving his legacy. Streamlined Plot and Group Dynamics (00:50) Consolidated the Junkion and Quintesson arcs into a single planet scenario for simplicity. Divided Autobots into clear factions with distinct challenges to create focused narrative threads. Added heroic sacrifices and teamwork moments to raise stakes and emotional impact. The pitch ended with Optimus evolving into Ultra Magnus, aligning with toy line needs while preserving character continuity. Maintaining Cult Appeal While Improving Accessibility (01:03) The pitch carefully retained key emotional beats like Optimus Prime's near-death and Hot Rod's rise. It balanced new viewer guidance with fan service to preserve the movie's iconic moments. Suggested minor tweaks to Unicron's scale and lore to reduce confusion without major changes. The approach aimed to prevent later franchise regrets about character handling seen in season three. Fan and Host Perspectives on Movie's Legacy The hosts and guest expressed strong affection for the movie's nostalgic and cultural value despite its flaws (00:59, 01:00). Embracing the Movie's 1980s Roots (01:00) Sam Alicea stressed the film's authentic 80s vibe, embracing both its high-quality animation and its rough edges. The movie was seen as a time capsule of 80s animation and storytelling norms, including its willingness to embrace trauma. The soundtrack's energy and the movie's unapologetic style were key to its enduring love. There was reluctance to change the movie too much, preserving its unique charm. Appreciation of Character Moments and Humor (01:09) Starscream was praised for his consistent jerkiness, providing comic relief and memorable villainy. The Decepticons' internal conflicts were contrasted with the Autobots' camaraderie, enriching character dynamics. The hosts lamented the disappearance of classic Decepticons when newer ones appeared. The blend of action, humor, and character quirks contributed to the movie's lasting appeal. Community and Ongoing Engagement (01:12, 01:16) Nick Wolfe and hosts highlighted fan communities like the Certain Point of View Media Discord for ongoing discussions. References to other Transformers properties like Beast Wars show layered fan engagement across generations. The show's Patreon and related projects encourage deeper fan interaction and content creation. The continued interest in the movie reflects its significance beyond initial box office performance. Distribution and Community Outreach The podcast promotes broader engagement through Patreon, additional shows, and social media presence (01:16). Patreon Support and Exclusive Content (01:16) The show thanks executive producer-level patrons by name, recognizing their financial support. Patreon offers early episode clips, essays on geek culture, and D&D topics to supporters. Essays like "Never Go Full Ranger" provide added value and deepen listener engagement. This support sustains the podcast's production and community activities. New Shows and Guest Hosting Opportunities (01:17) The launch of "Trade School," a comic book guest-hosted show, expands the network's content diversity. The format encourages fans to share positive takes on trade paperbacks in brief episodes. This initiative fosters community involvement and fresh perspectives. The network invites submissions, broadening participation from listeners. Social Media and Contact Channels (01:13, 01:16) Hosts provide social media handles and highlight the Discord server as a key interaction hub. Nick Wolfe shares his Reddit and Discord activity, emphasizing low-pressure involvement. The Discord serves as a central place for fan discussion and host engagement. Listeners are encouraged to tag hosts for responses and participate in the fan community. Upcoming Episode and Network Branding (01:18) The next podcast episode will cover "Highlander 2: The Quickening," maintaining a focus on cult and flawed films. The show's production credits and branding reinforce a professional and creative identity. The network's website and YouTube presence offer additional access points. This continuity supports sustained audience growth and brand recognition.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the darkness in the world? Do you sense a "dark agenda" at play and wonder if light can truly prevail? Are you ready to stop hovering above the world in a spiritual bubble and start stepping into it with purpose? You aren't imagining the intensity of these times, but the darkness isn't winning; its own weight is merely defeating it. Michael welcomes spiritual teachers Joy and Matt Kahn for a deep dive into what really happened in 2020 and why we are currently in the year of the "Quickening and the Reckoning". Matt and Joy share their personal journey of dismantling the "spiritual ego," moving through physical deaths and rebirths, and finding the courage to transition their work from a variety show into a mission-led partnership. Discover why the "poly-crisis" of our time is actually an invitation for the light to return to its own power, how to use your discernment to navigate deception, and why the "snake is eating its own tail" as darkness defeats itself. This isn't about escaping reality; it's about preparing to walk through it as an activated healer for your family, your community, and the world. Key Topics: The Spotlight on Darkness: Why current global deceptions are coming to the foreground so they can be witnessed as they fall away. The "Poly-Crisis" and CERN: Exploring the quantum impact of 2020 and the "Project Looking Glass" technology that hit a dead-end in 2012. Dismantling the Spiritual Ego: Why the era of the guru is over and how to transmute spiritual entitlement into humble, fierce love. The Snake Eating its Tail: Understanding why the desire for power is destined to consume itself as the collective light wakes up. The Power of Discernment: How to reconnect with the "ancestral pulses" and intuitive instincts that guide you where to go and what to do next. Willing to "Die" to Wake Up: Moving past the addiction to comfort to stand side-by-side with your neighbors for what you believe in. The Return of the Divine Feminine: Why Matt chose to pivot the channel to "Joy and Matt" to honor the equalizing shift from patriarchal structures. Activating the Healer's Code: How every person on a healing crisis is actually being initiated into becoming a leader of the new paradigm. This episode is a masterclass in resilience and truth. If you've been feeling like a pawn in a badly scripted reality show, Matt and Joy's message will remind you that the light does not need to defeat the darkness; it only needs to step forward and mobilize as one.

If you've ever started strong… felt motivated… made the plan… and then “fallen off” — this episode is for you.Because what you've been calling self-sabotage might not be sabotage at all.In this episode of Goddess Got Goals, Lisa explores why falling off the plan is rarely a willpower problem and almost never a character flaw. Instead, it's often a nervous system response to pressure, rigidity, and plans that don't account for energy, hormones, ADHD wiring, or emotional load.You'll learn:• Why most “self-sabotage” is actually self-protection• What's happening biologically when motivation suddenly drops• How perimenopause lowers stress tolerance and changes the rules• Why ADHD brains struggle with rigid, streak-based plans• The hidden reason “just get back on track” makes it worse• How to replace rigid plans with anchors, rhythm, and self-trustThis episode is an invitation to stop shaming yourself for falling off and start building something you can always return to.Because the goal isn't never falling off.The goal is creating a way forward that feels safe enough to sustain.✨ Links mentioned in this episode:• The Quickening — a nervous system reset & re-entry point• Warrior Goddess Archetype Quiz• UnarmouredEnter the Warrior Goddess Saga for your next step:https://thewarriorgoddesssaga.comBe sure to connect with Lisa Barwise and Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training on social media: Instagram @lisa_barwise @wgkettlebelltraining Facebook www.facebook.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltrainingYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining What you can do to help the Podcast?

Consistency Is Not the Goal — It's the Side EffectIf you've spent years calling yourself inconsistent, flaky, or “bad at follow-through,” this episode is for you.In this episode of Goddess Got Goals, Lisa reframes consistency as an outcome, not a personality trait — and explores why forcing discipline, especially for women with ADHD or sensitive nervous systems, often backfires.Lisa shares her own lived experience of struggling with consistency, the shame of starting and stopping, and the moment she realised the problem wasn't willpower — it was dysregulation, energy mismanagement, and broken self-trust.You'll learn why consistency emerges naturally when the nervous system feels safe, how energy management matters more than time management, and why Alchemy Anchors — tiny, repeatable promises you keep with yourself — rebuild trust far more effectively than rigid plans.This episode is an invitation to stop fighting yourself, release the identity of “inconsistent,” and create a rhythm your body can actually sustain.Because consistency isn't something you force.It's something that happens when the conditions are right.✨ Links mentioned in this episode:• The Quickening — a nervous system reset & re-entry point• Warrior Goddess Archetype Quiz• Unarmoured BookEnter the Warrior Goddess Saga here -->thewarriorgoddesssaga.comBe sure to connect with Lisa Barwise and Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training on social media: Instagram @lisa_barwise @wgkettlebelltraining Facebook www.facebook.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltrainingYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining What you can do to help the Podcast?

This is a reading and adaptation of a compilation of wisdom teachings. Reverend George Graham Price, often identified by the magical/mystical moniker "Frater Achad," was associated with occult literature, specifically regarding the "Ancient Mystical White Brotherhood," acting as a channel for mystical, spiritual material. He is associated with interpretations of spiritual teachings and esoteric philosophy rather than mainstream ministry. #yeshua #enoch #angels
Why Strong Women Burn Out First (and Call It Discipline)Strong, capable women don't burn out because they're weak.They burn out because they've been strong for too long — in ways their bodies can no longer sustain.In this episode of Goddess Got Goals, we explore why traditional ideas of discipline and consistency often fail women in midlife — especially Type-A women navigating perimenopause, chronic stress, and ADHD-wired nervous systems.You'll learn how what we call “discipline” is often a survival strategy, why pushing harder backfires as hormones shift, and how burnout is not a mindset problem but a biological response to prolonged pressure.We also talk about what to do instead: replacing discipline with discernment, consistency with rhythm, and self-control with self-trust — so strength can become supportive rather than self-destructive.This episode is an invitation to stop forcing, soften the armour, and lead differently in this next chapter.Because strong women don't need to be stronger.They need safety, support, and a new way forward.✨ Links mentioned in this episode:Enter the Warrior Goddess Saga here -->thewarriorgoddesssaga.comAnd find...• The Quickening (nervous system reset & re-entry)• Warrior Goddess Archetype Quiz• Unarmoured- the BookBe sure to connect with Lisa Barwise and Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training on social media: Instagram @lisa_barwise @wgkettlebelltraining Facebook www.facebook.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltrainingYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining What you can do to help the Podcast?

WGW 4: Rituals, Not Resolutions✨ Rituals, Not Resolutions | Warrior Goddess WeeklyIf resolutions make your body tense… and rituals make it soften — this video is for you.In this episode of Warrior Goddess Weekly, we explore why this season isn't asking you to push, prove, or overhaul your life — but to tend, listen, and create rhythm instead of pressure.We talk about:Why rituals work where resolutions fail (especially in midlife)How nervous system safety shapes consistency and follow-throughThe current energetic landscape (New Moon + Deep Winter, in plain English)How this moment is felt differently through each Warrior Goddess Archetype:SeekerWarriorAlchemistGuardianWhy preparing the ground matters more than forcing outcomesThis is about honouring the season you're in — in your body, your nervous system, and your life — and choosing a way forward that your system can actually trust.
You Don't Lack Willpower, You Lack Nervous System SafetyIf willpower keeps collapsing, motivation disappears, and consistency feels impossible, this episode is for you.In this episode of Goddess Got Goals, we explore why what looks like “lack of discipline” is often your nervous system protecting you. You'll learn why safety must come before strategy, how Armour Weight forms through chronic stress, and why pushing harder only deepens resistance.We also introduce Alchemy Anchors, small, safety-led micro habits that rebuild self-trust, calm the nervous system, and gently replace the inner mean girl with something far more powerful: inner reliability.This isn't about trying harder or becoming more disciplined.It's about helping your body feel safe enough to begin again.Because you don't lack willpower.You lack nervous system safety and that can be rebuilt.✨ Links mentioned in this episode:• The Quickening (nervous system reset & re-entry point)www.warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/quickening• Warrior Goddess Archetype Quizthewarriorgoddesssaga.com• Book Unarmouredwww.warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/unarmouredQuickening AdBe sure to connect with Lisa Barwise and Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training on social media: Instagram @lisa_barwise @wgkettlebelltraining Facebook www.facebook.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltrainingYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining What you can do to help the Podcast?

Is 2025 feeling like a blur, leaving you wondering how life could possibly move any faster? Are you feeling the "shakes and quakes" of old systems crumbling and wondering where to find solid ground? What if the chaos isn't a sign of the end, but the "quickening" of your greatest awakening yet? Michael shares a powerful co-creation channeled directly from Archangel Michael regarding the energies of the year ahead. This is not a doom-and-gloom prediction show; it is a survival guide for the soul. Michael reveals the theme for 2026: The Quickening and The Reckoning. Discover why the speed of change is about to accelerate beyond imagination, why the "old guard" is getting louder as it dissolves, and why this is actually a "celebration in disguise." This is your manual on how to stop "fastening your heart" out of fear and instead anchor yourself in the eye of the storm to become the Master you were born to be. Key Topics: Why Archangel Michael calls this the year of "The Quickening and The Reckoning", and why 2025 will seem slow in comparison. Corruption, exploitation, and the "old guard" must become louder and more visible in order to finally be healed and released. Don't Fasten Your Heart: Why the instinct to "shields up" is the wrong move, and how to keep your heart wide open even when the ride gets bumpy. How the current heat and pressure are not here to break you, but to refine you into an unbreakable force of light. The single most important phrase to anchor your power this year: "I CHOSE this time." Why we are moving away from words and logic into Energy and Receivership. If you are ready to stop sleepwalking and start shining, this message will remind you that you are not a victim of the times, you are a Creator who came here to rock them.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Erin Callahan to dig into Paul Thomas Anderson's sprawling emotional epic, Magnolia.

As we enter our forties, many of us start to experience signals from our body that show us that we can't override ourselves anymore. We become more permeable, our energy levels shift, and we tend to have less capacity. If we don't clock these changes and find ways to adapt our lives, we'll start to experience trouble inside ourselves often in the form of stress, overwhelm and other physical, emotional and mental symptoms. Alexandra and Sjanie call these years the “autumn” of our menstruating years, or the Quickening, and in the collective conversation many refer to these years in the run up to menopause as perimenopause. Today we're exploring these perimenopause years and challenges as a kind of sacred preparation or apprenticeship for the great initiation of menopause - a series of unveilings that allow us to see what has been unconscious within us. Through stories from the community we explore why many of us feel scared of and unprepared for menopause, how the forties are preparing our psyches for the massive spiritual awakening ahead and why menstrual cycle awareness is our greatest ally through the twists and turns of perimenopauseWe explore:The importance of relishing your forties, and the authority and sense of self-knowledge that can come with this decade.How menstrual cycle awareness, and particularly paying attention to your premenstrual phase - the inner autumn of the cycle - can prepare us for the autumn challenges of the forties and perimenopause. How old trauma can resurface in perimenopause, and how to deeply meet what is arising and support yourself to encounter the big emotions so that healing can take place. ---Register for our menopause online course: Menopause: The Great Awakener - Starts October 31st---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Sam decides to throwback to his roots with a recap of the 1994 banger Highlander III: The Sorcerer. Or The Final Dimension. Or The Final Conflict. You decide. Which is actually Highlander II because it doesn't believe in aliens. Anyway, when Connor MacLeod…you know what, it doesn't matter because this is the exact plot of the first movie but with less Sean Connery, more Japanese trapeze artists, and ILLUSIONS. Did you think there could be only one? We're sorry, apparently there are more. Picture, if you will, MacLeod training with Ramirez (Mako) but with ILLUSIONS. MacLeod taking on The Kurgan (Mario Van Peebles) but with ILLUSIONS. MacLeod romancing (RIP) Brenda (Deborah Kara Unger) but with ILLUSIONS (and archeology). Adopted child? Check. Bad guy with road rage? Check. Fight on the catwalk (on the catwalk)? Check. The Quickening? Check. Yes, that's right. The Quickening is back and…better than ever? You thought MacLeod was the last immortal? Sucker. There are immortals for days. Immortals all over the place. Immortals you, and The Quickening, didn't even know existed. Join Danielle as she fails to recall the first movie entirely, which is fine since Sam goes on to recap it again for two hours, but now with special guest Filip from Mind Duck Books, because much like The Quickening…he's back, baby! Special thanks to friend of the pod and honorary co-host Filip from Mind Duck Books for joining us on this thrilling journey!

We go back to both World Wars to look at the mentor of a frequent ST subject, and revisit our inaugural Dusty Old Bastard.

DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!Dreams about pregnancy and babies symbolize something new taking shape within us, like a creative project, a hidden talent, or a psychological shift that's quietly developing beneath our awareness. These images express the mysterious tension we sense during periods of growth, change, or potential, drawing our attention inward and challenging our current identity or circumstances. When our symbolic baby finally arrives in the dream, it reveals a hidden part of ourselves that is now ready to enter consciousness, creating both excitement and anxiety about how this new aspect will fit into our lives. Join us to explore how dreams of pregnancy or babies reveal our emergent potential.Find the dreams we analyze HERE.LOOK & GROWJoin Lisa's Vital Spark Book club!Join THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOLDo you have a topic you want us to cover?WE NEED YOUR HELP!
