I was really excited to sit down with Michael McAdams because his story beautifully bridges two worlds I see so many people trying to reconcile: traditional faith and intuitive spiritual connection. Raised in a Christian home, Michael has remained deeply grounded in his faith but also open to receiving messages and guidance in ways that challenge conventional teachings.We talked about how his intuitive gifts unfolded, how his mother, once skeptical of psychic work, became a powerful channel for spiritual messages, and what it means to walk a path rooted in truth-seeking rather than dogma. This conversation touched me because I know how many people in my community are craving spiritual depth but feel torn between the faith they grew up with and the gifts they're awakening to now.If you've ever felt caught between religion and intuition or you're just curious about what it looks like to hold both with integrity, this one's for you.Copywrite @AmandaPanacea Lets work together!· https://thehealerrevolution.com/ · Learn about my testing and coaching services: https://youtu.be/U7o17WErb84si=aaDZyp7txO6txtzm · Free 15 mins clarity call https://l.bttr.to/cih5BMy Most popular Courses, Guides, and Product Referrals· Product Links https://shopmy.us/amandapanacea· Feel to Heal: Transform Triggers into Calm (My signature course): https://feeltoheal.co/ · MCAS and histamine intolerance guide https://l.bttr.to/ivR0z· How to Heal MCAS and Histamine Intolerance Webinar: https://l.bttr.to/3Qnmv · HolyHydrogen Molecular Hydrogen: https://holyhydrogen.com/Panacea · King Coffee (Reishi spore infused organic coffee): https://thehealerrevolution.myorganogold.com/en/premium-gourmet-king-of-coffee/ Are you a practitioner, coach, or want to be? · Get certified in Bioenergetic testing: https://bioenergetics.learnworlds.com...· Learn HTMA and sign up for the HTMA app: https://hairanalysis.report/ref/165/ · Learn how to use and source Peptides (for non practitioners also!): https://amandapanacea--designergenes.thrivecart.com/pepsquad/ · Functional Genomics and Epigenetics: https://thedesignergenesco.com/bbd?affiliate=amandapanacea · Learn to read Mold labs and OAT: https://amandapanacea.krtra.com/t/4yQ7W1qjLT9cBuy my 365 day Somatic Manifestation Journal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQNSKXWD #AdrenalFatigue #anxietyrelief #bioenergetics #neuroscience #brainretraining #somatichealing #ChronicStress #hrv #functionalfreeze #AdrenalSupport #fightflightfreeze #nervoussytemregulation #nervoussystem #bloodsugar #anxiety #burnout #functionalmedicine #htma #bioenergetictesting #mcas #eczema #lyme #moldillness #gutbrainconnection #lymedisease #mastcellactivationsyndrome #tsw #topicalsteroidwithdrawal #guthealth #mineralbalancing #circadianrhythms #mastcellactivation #frequencyhealing #allergyrelief #weightloss #peptides #stressrelief #traumahealing #peptidesforweightloss #Bioenergetictesting

What does it mean to live a life in tune—with yourself, your passions, and your wellbeing? In this episode of Musings on Wellbeing, host Charlie Bresler and his guest, internationally renowned pianist Milica Jelača Jovanović, explore how the pursuit of excellence can both shape and challenge our inner lives. Raised in a family of classical musicians in Yugoslavia, Milica's journey spans elite music schools, intense conservatory training in post-Soviet Moscow, and a new chapter of life in Michigan. Their conversation touches on the delicate balance between ambition and self-care, artistry and identity. Her story is both deeply personal and universally resonant—a reflection on discipline, resilience, and finding meaning through music. Listeners will hear Milica's candid take on how intensive training has shaped her mental and emotional wellbeing, the role of family in grounding her, and why she prioritizes self-improvement over competition.  She also shares the guiding principles behind her teaching style and gives a sneak peek into exciting musical projects on the horizon.  Links: milicajelacajovanovic.com Milica on YouTube @milicajj Music from this episode: Mozart concerto performance with bellinghamsymphony.org  Musing on Wellbeing is sponsored by EH Walkers.

AgriDigital is transforming the agricultural supply chain through its connected grain management platform that digitizes the traditionally manual, paper-driven grains industry. With $20 million in funding, the company has built a single source of truth platform where buyers and sellers collaborate on contracts and transactions rather than maintaining separate versions. In this episode of Category Visionaries, Emma Weston, CEO and Co-Founder of AgriDigital, shares insights from her eight-year journey building category-defining technology in one of the world's least digitized industries. Topics Discussed: The challenge of building in agriculture, the world's least digitized industry AgriDigital's evolution from paper replacement to connected platform architecture The strategic decision to focus on hub customers who connect to hundreds of supply chain participants Navigating the shift from growth-at-all-costs to profitability during market changes Why traditional marketing doesn't work in agtech and alternative approaches that do The importance of founder community and authentic customer understanding in agtech   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Target hub customers for network effects: Emma's team identified customers who were connected to 200-500 other participants in the supply chain, creating a hub-and-spoke model. Rather than trying to acquire customers one by one, they focused on central aggregators who naturally brought their network onto the platform. B2B founders in networked industries should map their ecosystem to identify these high-leverage customers who can drive adoption across their entire network. Resist the temptation to rebrand for funding cycles: AgriDigital deliberately chose not to reposition itself as an AI company, fintech, or climate tech despite having elements of each. Emma explained, "I don't feel any need to try and position us and rebrand us as a climate tech company." This focus allowed them to solve actual customer problems rather than funding problems. B2B founders should resist the urge to chase trending categories and instead build deep expertise in their chosen domain. Price increases require customer education, not apology: When AgriDigital needed to become profitable, they had direct conversations with customers about sustainability, explaining that there's "only so much that we can expect investors and others to cross subsidize in the development of this technology." Almost all customers understood and accepted necessary price increases. B2B founders should frame pricing conversations around mutual sustainability rather than apologizing for necessary business decisions. Don't apply other companies' playbooks to unique problems: Emma emphasized that trying to apply lessons from successful companies like Canva was counterproductive: "The only thing we have in common is that they're Australian born as well." Instead, they focused on internal data, hypothesis testing, and small experiments. B2B founders should resist the urge to copy other companies' strategies and instead develop approaches specific to their market and customer base. Build senior teams for complex problems: During COVID, AgriDigital chose to hire "a smaller, more senior team rather than numerous employees that are more junior." This decision reflected their realization that complex, first-of-their-kind problems require experienced judgment rather than junior execution. B2B founders tackling novel problems should prioritize experience over headcount, especially when building in uncharted territory.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Revelo has emerged as a critical player in the intersection of talent acquisition and AI development, transforming from a Latin American job board to a comprehensive tech talent platform serving both traditional staffing needs and the booming human data market for LLM training. With $48.7 million raised and a network of 400,000 pre-vetted engineers, Revelo has positioned itself at the forefront of two massive trends: remote work acceleration and the AI revolution. In this episode, Lucas Mendes, Co-founder and CEO of Revelo, shares the company's evolution from a simple recruiting platform to becoming the backbone of tech talent for the age of AI, including their pivot during COVID that led to 6x growth in three years and their recent expansion into human data services for hyperscalers training large language models. Topics Discussed: Revelo's origin story and pivot from a Brazilian job board to a nearshoring platform during COVID The dramatic revenue swings during the pandemic - from 80% revenue drop to overwhelming demand The emergence of human data for LLM training as a new business line, growing from 0% to 25% of revenue in 18 months Building specialized platforms for code annotation and LLM training that differ from general-purpose data labeling tools The consulting layer required to serve hyperscalers and why workforce suppliers alone can't compete Revelo's M&A strategy with five acquisitions completed and plans for more transformational deals The long-term vision of becoming the go-to destination for AI implementation talent across all engagement models   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Respond to market signals rather than forcing your vision: Lucas admits that both major pivots - the COVID nearshoring boom and the LLM training opportunity - came from inbound customer demand rather than proactive strategic decisions. He emphasizes being responsive to market signals: "I wish I could claim credit for that, but it was again, us responding to inbound interest from clients." B2B founders should remain agile and let customer demand guide major strategic decisions rather than forcing predetermined visions onto the market. Build deep expertise to differentiate from commodity suppliers: When serving hyperscalers, Revelo learned that being just a "workforce supplier" wasn't enough. Lucas explains: "There's too many of these companies out there for there to be any meaningful demand for somebody who's just a workforce supplier. You need to have done this before." The company invested heavily in developing consulting capabilities and domain expertise. B2B founders entering competitive markets should identify what specialized knowledge or capabilities will differentiate them from commodity providers. Leverage your founding team for new market exploration: When building the LLM training business, Lucas deployed his senior leadership team rather than hiring external executives. He explains: "You need to have a founding team for that phase... it's exhausting, it's excruciating, it's stressful, but it is very much an early stage startup." B2B founders should use their core team's entrepreneurial skills when exploring new markets, even if it means senior executives taking on hands-on roles outside their typical functions. Treat enterprise sales as a repeatable process across teams: Lucas discovered that selling to different teams within the same hyperscaler required starting from scratch each time. His solution: "Build a core corpus of sales collateral, like case studies and materials that they can socialize internally." B2B founders selling to large enterprises should systematize their sales process and create reusable materials that can be adapted for different internal stakeholders, treating each team as a separate sales opportunity. Use transparency to build trust with sophisticated buyers: When dealing with hyperscalers, Lucas found that honesty about capabilities was crucial: "You have to be really clear about what you can do and what you cannot... Some of these companies are saying, hey, we want to do projects where you'll do human data for code, but also some human data for video. We have to say no to that." B2B founders serving sophisticated enterprise clients should be transparent about their limitations, as attempting to oversell capabilities will ultimately damage relationships with buyers who can easily detect gaps in expertise.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with his good friend Thomas Dockstader — author of The Chi Codes, founder of The Chi Codes company, and a powerful leader inside “We Are The They.” Raised in a strict FLDS polygamist community under Warren Jeffs, Thomas shares the raw details of growing up inside a closed-off religious sect, being indoctrinated daily, and the moment he chose to walk away from it all at just 18 years old. His early life reads like a movie — from wearing pilgrim-style clothes in West Jordan to working grueling construction jobs across the Southwest while hiding his true family story.Thomas opens up about how childhood shame, hidden trauma, and deeply buried beliefs led him down a path of severe alcoholism, multiple marriages, and even a near-suicide attempt on his front lawn. But this story is far from over. He dives into the moments that transformed him — the life-threatening coma from a brutal assault, the pivotal realization that alcohol was only masking deeper pain, and the way transcendental meditation and ayahuasca ceremonies ultimately led him to profound self-acceptance and purpose.Today, Thomas is eight years sober and dedicates his life to helping others break through their own patterns of shame and addiction. He shares how he turned his past into a mission — offering his teachings, free courses, and powerful message of hope to anyone ready to heal. Whether you've faced addiction, struggled with identity, or just want to hear an incredible redemption story, this conversation will hit home and leave you inspired.

The global upstream oil and gas sector is confronting a mounting crisis—access to capital. For over a decade, international producers, especially small- and mid-cap firms, have faced shrinking pools of funding as banks exit the space and public equity markets falter. Traditional sources of capital have dwindled, leaving many promising ventures stranded without the financial fuel they need to grow. As capital constraints tighten, the sector's self-depleting business model—where every produced barrel reduces tomorrow's inventory—becomes unsustainable. The result? A looming risk of supply shortfalls, price shocks, and widening energy inequity, especially in underdeveloped economies. With traditional financing off the table, how can energy producers bridge this capital chasm? In this episode, I sit down with Richard Naden, a seasoned executive and co-founder of Atlas Energy, to explore a breakthrough model inspired by royalty and streaming structures from mining and North American energy. Richard shares how Atlas provides not only innovative capital but also operational and technical expertise to its partners, creating an aligned and scalable funding approach. With a lean asset-light model, heavy on analytics and trust in data, Atlas aims to build a multi-billion dollar portfolio that could reshape how energy projects are financed around the world.

“To be an effective climate optimist and person who cares about sustainability, you need equal parts of two different ingredients. The first is inspiration, because if you don't believe you can make a difference, and if you don't believe that what you do matters, then you're not going to try. You also need the other ingredient of empowerment. If you are really, really encouraged to try to make a difference, but you're not given the tools or the knowledge, then all that energy dissipates and becomes wasted.” —Charlie Sellars   What if sustainability wasn't a burden, but an invitation? For too long, we've been told to shrink our impact and feel guilty for not doing enough. But what if the real power lies in small, positive choices that actually feel good and make a difference?  Charlie Sellars, the Director of Sustainability at Microsoft and author of What We Can Do: A Climate Optimist's Guide to Sustainable Living, has spent his career turning eco-anxiety into practical, empowering action. His journey proves that you don't need to be perfect—or even an expert—to make sustainability work for your life, your business, and your happiness. Tune in as Justine and Charlie break down how to reframe sustainability from a source of stress into a source of strength, sharing real-life stories, actionable tips, and a new way to think about your impact—one that's positive, empowering, and actually doable. Meet Charlie:  Charlie Sellars is a Director of Sustainability at Microsoft, which pledged to become Carbon Negative, Water Positive, Zero Waste, and Protect Ecosystems by 2030. As one of the youngest directors at the company, he has overseen sustainability for both the Windows & Devices and Cloud Operations portions of Microsoft, helping launch several sustainability-forward products ranging from new Windows PCs with repairable and recycled components to the Ocean Plastic Mouse. Recognized by IM100 as one of 2024's top 100 most impactful individuals in the digital infrastructure industry, Charlie also serves as a governing body member of the iMasons Climate Accord, an industry coalition united to decarbonize the digital infrastructure that underpins the next generation of cloud and AI services. Charlie has previously served as a board member and CTO of an impact-focused non-profit, The $100 Solution, which believes that “solutions to big problems start with small steps.” He initially joined this non-profit while studying for his Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics from Williams College, a small liberal arts school nestled in the Berkshire mountains which helped to grow his love for nature.

Send us a textWhat do you do when life doesn't follow your carefully laid plans? When the path you expected becomes unrecognizable? This question lies at the heart of Savannah Sands' extraordinary journey from bitterness to breakthrough.Savannah never imagined becoming a single mother at 21. Raised in a conservative Christian home with solid biblical knowledge but limited real-world application, she found herself pregnant in college and facing a future that looked nothing like she'd planned. The judgment she received from her faith community planted seeds of bitterness that threatened to define her future. But Savannah's story isn't about victimhood—it's about choice. Recognizing that her bitterness would ultimately harm her young son, she took a brave step toward healing. Through a small group for single mothers and transformative books on forgiveness, she began what she describes as God's "open-heart surgery" on her life, removing the infection of resentment that was poisoning her from within.The most profound revelation? Her circumstances didn't change—her heart did. For seven years, Savannah remained a single mother, but her perspective transformed completely. This foundation of healing became crucial when unimaginable tragedy struck: losing two brothers within eight months. Once again facing a choice between bitterness and healing, Savannah chose the harder but more rewarding path.Today, newly married to a man she believes God brought into her life through the very circumstances she once resented, Savannah sees the redemptive thread woven through her pain. "My relationship with God is where it is because of the pain I went through, not the good things," she reflects.Whether you're facing unexpected challenges, processing grief, or simply feeling that life hasn't turned out as planned, Savannah's journey offers a compelling invitation: will you let your heart harden, or will you pray for the courage to face your pain and find healing? Remember, your circumstances might never change—but your heart can.

Raised in a loosely Christian home, he bounced between megachurch services and Lutheran daycare but never felt spiritually grounded. At just 13, he battled suicidaI thoughts, turning to science for answers—and eventually adopting a militant atheist worldview.But everything changed when he picked up a 1952 King James Bible no one wanted. Intending to disprove Scripture, he found something unexpected: order, truth, and a God who knew him intimately. Leviticus 26 and a simple diet change became his "Eureka moments."Later, in a moment of profound grace, his wife smelled lilies as she prayed the Rosary. “Without a doubt, it was Mary,” he recalled. This is a story of transformation, healing, and the undeniable power of God's mercy.His life has never been the same—and neither will yours after hearing this testimony.

This is a Fan Fav episode. From growing up in a world where women were told to disappear and serve—and taught their worth was only found in silence and subservience—to writing a book called Brazen and stepping into the world as an empowered entrepreneur, Julia Haart's story is one of radical transformation, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. In this episode, I sit down with Julia to uncover how she faced—and still faces—the deeply ingrained fears and shame of her upbringing, how she redefined her worth, and her honest truth that confidence isn't the absence of fear, but having the courage to act anyway. With raw stories, stubborn hope, and practical wisdom, Julia lays out how to break free from limiting beliefs, rewrite your narrative, and boldly claim your own power—even when every part of you wants to retreat to the background.

This week's episode of Nonprofit Lowdown is straight-up magic.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with someone who truly embodies heart, hustle, and community spirit, Michelle Hagerty. We'd crossed paths at local events and through mutual friends, but it wasn't until a run with the Deerfield Beach Run Club that I really got to connect with her and I'm glad I did. Michelle's story is one of evolution. Raised up north, she stepped straight into the family business after school, built a vibrant life with her husband and kids, and now finds herself in a powerful new chapter: giving back in big ways. From her deep involvement in local charities to launching http://ThePowerOfSports.com, which is a mission-driven platform helping kids gain access to sports, equipment, and wellness. Michelle is proof that impact starts at home and grows outward.In this episode, we talk about how she balances her daily routine, her mindset, the importance of staying grounded, and her upcoming dancing role in Boca Ballroom Battle, where she'll be dancing for the George Snow Scholarship Foundation this September. This conversation is a reminder that purpose can evolve, and service is a lifelong goal. Give it a listen and be sure to follow Michelle on IG @michellehagerty_ to support her journey. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Enjoy the show!

In Part One, Brian walks us through the pivotal moments that shaped his path—from coming out as a college athlete to confronting power structures as a civil rights lawyer. He shares how being raised by military parents shaped his moral compass, how football taught him about leadership under pressure, and why he believes his queerness has made him a better, sharper advocate. This is the story of a public servant forged in fire—and not afraid to stay loud.Key Highlights of Our Interview:The Day Job and the Gay Job“There was work I did to earn a living. And work I did to sleep at night.”Brian's legal path wasn't linear—it was moral. Disability law by day, LGBTQ+ advocacy by choice. The real career came when he fused both.Feminist Lawyer at Age 12“I told people I wanted to be a feminist lawyer… before I even knew what that fully meant.”His mother's defiance of gender roles shaped more than his politics. It gave him a framework for justice—before he ever came out.Raised by a Combat Nurse with a Crew Cut“She probably got accused of being a lesbian once a week in the military. It didn't harden her—it strengthened her.”Growing up with two military parents meant discipline and love. But it was his mother's quiet power that taught him to be an upstander, not a bystander.Coming Out—and Coming Into Power“My teammates waited until they knew I'd be safe to ask me if I was gay.”Brian's coming out wasn't loud—it was supported. That emotional safety net shaped how he now builds space for others.From Closet to Capitol“Eight months before I took office, I knew I was the only out person in the room. But I also knew I wasn't the only one.”Brian didn't just fight for LGBTQ+ rights—he stood up for racial justice, reproductive rights, and equality as a full strategy. Being gay got him elected. Being an ally kept him effective._______________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Brian Sims --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In Episode 203 of the Transition Drill Podcast, what would you do if the career you built by age 30 ended overnight? For Ken Bator, a corporate firing became the start of something far greater than a title or paycheck. Raised in a working-class Chicago suburb by a teacher and a railroad employee, Ken learned early the value of hard work, humility, and discipline. But like many, his first career steps in finance collided with a recession. He briefly considered firefighting, passed the physical tests, but ultimately realized he was not built to take orders without question. That realization would become the foundation for his entrepreneurial career.In this episode, Ken opens up about the personal and professional journey that led him to launch his own consulting firm and co-found the Police Officers Credit Union Association. He shares the early lessons from growing up in Catholic school, the pivotal moment he faced a fear of heights, and how being fired became his greatest professional catalyst.Ken also reveals how podcasting became a platform to serve, not just promote. He breaks down his “Soundness Initiative,” a framework built around physical, emotional, professional, and financial well-being that speaks directly to the challenges faced by military veterans and first responders.This is a story about starting over with purpose, turning failure into fuel, and using your voice to make an impact.Don't miss an episode.

This week, we rewind the VHS of life and dive into the ultimate nostalgia mixtape. We asked the M3P community:

Episode #361: “I am Burmese. I feel like it is my duty and responsibility to speak about it.” With these words, Myet opens a conversation that explores Myanmar's past and present, weaving together personal history, political critique, and spiritual insight. Raised under military rule, Myet witnessed the silencing of dissent and the trauma that shaped her parents' generation after the 1988 uprising. After resettling in the West, she was struck by how little people knew about Myanmar's history and suffering. “We do not exist in the imagination of the world as a place of suffering,” she says, highlighting the disparity in global attention, where some crises are prioritized for their geopolitical weight, while others, such as Myanmar's, remain largely unacknowledged. Myet critiques Myanmar's 2010–2020 “transition” as a façade that never disrupted military power. She praises the post-coup resistance as more decentralized and inclusive, led by youth, women, queer activists, and ethnic minorities. Here, she urges deeper forms of solidarity, calling on the international community to abandon simplistic narratives and instead “care” in meaningful ways. “For me, the opposite of violence is not just peace. It's care.” Spirituality grounds Myet's resilience. A daily meditator, she draws on both the Burmese monk U Jotika and the Western teacher Eckhart Tolle to cultivate presence and self-understanding. Rather than aiming for perfection, her practice is about “being,” not “achieving.” She also speaks to the burden of survivor guilt: “Sometimes I feel guilty, just to be secure.” Yet she refuses to give in to despair. Her closing message is direct and urgent: “The world needs to care before it's too late.”

What happens when the pursuit of intellectual certainty leads not to clarity, but to doubt, and doubt, in time, leads back to faith? Jeffrey Geibel, a seasoned mathematics educator and former skeptic, shares a journey that challenges assumptions about belief, knowledge, and truth. Raised in a home where chaos, cultural Christianity, and moral contradictions shaped his early view of faith, Jeff set out to find truth through reason and lived experience. Though once deeply involved in church and sincere in his belief, growing disillusionment with theological inconsistencies and a reliance on subjective experiences ultimately led him to atheism, then to radical agnosticism, questioning whether anything could truly be known at all. The turning point came unexpectedly, in a graduate-level geometry class. Guest Bio: Jeffrey Geibel is a veteran high school mathematics teacher with two decades of experience in public education. He holds a master's degree in mathematics and brings a deep appreciation for critical thinking, logic, and analytical inquiry to both his profession and personal life. Outside the classroom, Jeff is a dedicated husband and father of nine, with a passion for exploring the intersections of faith, reason, and human experience. His journey through skepticism, agnosticism, and ultimately back to belief reflects a thoughtful engagement with both intellectual honesty and existential meaning.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a second time: Masonic and satanic ritual abuse, MK ULTRA and child trafficking survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, qualified Survival Instructor, Instructor for Hostile Environment Awareness Training, former alpine climber, Tibetan medicine practitioner, adventure sport instructor, outdoor lover, my new friend, and all around badass and inspiration, Lou Born on August 8 - or 8/8, a date symbolically significant in the esoteric circles that would shape her early life, Lou emerged into a world steeped in spiritual and occult influences. Her family's bloodline, tracing back to early British royalty, Danish ancestry, and historical figures like Odin and Freya, marked her as a target for exploitation by secret societies, including Masonic and military networks. Unbeknownst to her as a child, this lineage, combined with her innate psychic abilities, would thrust her into a hidden world of ritualistic abuse and mind control programming.Lou's earliest years were shrouded in dissociation, a coping mechanism that veiled her memories until age nine. It was during a live TV appearance on a British talk show, Kilroy, that she first realized she had no recollection of her childhood - a stark revelation that her mind had locked away years of trauma. Raised in South London, Lou's home was a paradox of spiritual allure and dark undercurrents. Her mother, a spiritual channeler, practiced yoga, healing, and automatic writing, influenced by esoteric figures like Steven Jenkins, a Mongolian Buddhist and author, and Andrew Barti, a Grandmaster of the Knights of Malta - who was a frequent visitor to her home and one of her abusers - presenting himself as charitable while orchestrating ritualistic abuse of children behind the scenes. Her father - who was former Merchant Navy, worked at Shirley Oaks Children's home as a maintenance worker and builder, and was a former model with celebrity friends like David Prowse who played Darth Vader in Star Wars. This only added to the complicated family dynamics.Lou's earliest years were shrouded in dissociation, a coping mechanism that veiled her memories until age nine. It was during a live TV appearance on a British talk show, Kilroy, that she first realized she had no recollection of her childhood - a stark revelation that her mind had locked away years of trauma. Her childhood was punctuated by fragmented memories of horrific rituals - being tied up, hung upside down, subjected to electric shocks, and submerged in a cold water tank with a dead body. These experiences, often conducted in underground tunnels and other conspicuous locations, were part of a sophisticated, governmental programming system linked to Masonic lodges and military bases.

Send us a textIn this moving first episode of a two-part conversation, you'll meet our guest, Michael Zacharia—an Executive Coach, Mediator, Attorney, author, and peacemaker whose life embodies a question the world is still wrestling with: Can one life hold both Palestinian and Israeli identity?Born to a Palestinian Christian father and a Jewish Israeli mother, Michael's early life was steeped in complexity, contradiction, and deep cultural richness. Raised in the United States, he grew up at the intersection of global conflict and personal formation—where hospitality met independence, where ancient tensions lived around the dinner table, and where identity was never a simple checkbox.In this episode, Michael shares how he learned to live in the in-between—with courage, compassion, and curiosity. He reflects on how both the beauty and the messiness of his story shaped his journey of becoming a mediator and peacemaker.This is not just a conversation about heritage. It's a call to wholeness in a world of division.

In this special three-part series, we explore the increasingly contentious place of media superstar Piers Morgan and his YouTube show, Uncensored. Morgan has always inclined to the sensational, but in recent months he has perhaps gone too far – in terms of platforming some of the most hateful, uninformed antisemites and anti-Zionist voices in the world. Repeatedly. As he reminds us often, millions watch his show and engage on social media. So, he reasons, he must be doing something right. Well, perhaps not. Clicks and views may validate his mass appeal. But they also raise the question: To whom does he appeal? Why is he platforming and amplifying such hateful, uninformed people on the anti-Israel “side”, and putting them on the same show with some of the brightest, most articulate minds who support Israel? The result – particularly in the last month or so – has been many things but certainly not enlightening discussion or debate. To explore this issue I decided to speak with some past, ongoing and – never gonna happen – guests of Piers Morgan Uncensored. What began as one episode became a three part series. Because each of the five people with whom I spoke had such thoughtful and strong insights. And I belielve that the conduct of media- MSM and independents – is hugely important. When a media giant with global influence like Piers Morgan repeatedly platforms extreme haters – he legitimizes and amplifies their voice and reach- exponentially. Does he have a responsibility to society? Or is it just about the numbers?I discuss this and more with my five superb guests. In Part I we feature Lt. Col. (Res.) and Senior FDD Fellow, Jonathan Conricus, as well as Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli. Both appeared last week on Uncensored. And they have a lot to say.Part II of this series will be out on Sunday and features British-Israeli comedian, actor, writer and – in my view – serious social commentator – Lee Kern. When Uncensored seemed to veer off in a very concerning direction in recent weeks, Lee Kern posted a searing indictment of Piers Morgan and Uncensored on X. His commentary certainly got my attention and I assure you - his interview does not disappoint. It'll be out on Sunday.Part III of the series features two exceptional and very different voices. Emily Schrader, journalist, and activist – and frequent guest on Uncensored – gets into how the show has changed recently. She is savvy and has a keen understanding of all media. Emily explains the value in appearing on his show, but also gets into some troubling aspects of how it has been going lately. Emily is a massive influencer on social media – and she has some strong views on that world as well. Also in this episode is Ridvan Aydemir, aka the ApostateProphet on YouTube to his more than 500,000 followers. Raised in a strict Muslim home while navigating the very liberal society of modern Germany, Ridvan no longer identifies as a Muslim and he is a fierce critic of Islamist antisemitism and anti-Zionism. He also falls into the category of one who will never appear on Morgan's show – and shares with us why.All three segments in this series are super interesting and I expect you will learn a lot about the “behind the scenes” workings of today's media and why we should all – consumers and creators of content – pay careful attention to what is going down. Independent media is the wild west today. Query whether it should remain that way.State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Both ran last week. If you go to Piers Morgan's personal X account you will find numerous clips that he considered post-worthy from these episodes. You watch. You decide.* Below is the full text of the post of Minister Chikli's on June 4 that seemed to have triggered Piers Morgan and led to Chikli being invited to appear on Uncensored. * Guest BiosJonathan Conricus is a senior fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington D.C.-based think tank. He served in the IDF for 24 years, four of them as spokesman during the intense 11 days of the Guardian of the Walls Operation between Israel and Hamas. Now a reserve officer with the rank of Lt. Col., he is a sought-after speaker internationally and is frequently seen on major television news shows. Jonathan was born in Jerusalem to a Swedish father and an Israeli mother and spent his formative years in Sweden.Amichai Chikli is an Israeli politician who serves as the Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism & the BDS movement.In the past he worked as an educator and social entrepreneur.Chikli was born in 1981 in Jerusalem.

Closing out another fabulous Pride Month, we're taking a look at someone who's always been a friend and ally to the LGBTQ+ community - Cyndi Lauper. Born in New York, in the early 50s, Cyndi feels out-of-step with her surroundings. Raised in a home with an abusive stepfather, she escapes and sets out on her own. But to do what? After failing in a series of unfulfilling odd jobs, Cyndi decides to follow her first love - music. After a shaky start with a couple of failed bands, Cyndi goes solo. Thanks to that one-of-a-kind voice of hers, and unique technicolor appearance (just in time for advent of MTV), Cyndi Lauper's singing career reaches the stratosphere. But life at the top of the record biz just isn't enough for her. She realizes there are way more important things to fight for - her integrity as an artist, and disenfranchised people everywhere. Turns out, these were the “true colors” of the girl who just wanted to have fun. In turn - she cemented her legacy forever.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! From the boarded-up wards of an abandoned Long Island asylum to the fog-shrouded decks of the RMS Queen Mary, urban-explorer-turned-ghost-hunter James Edward Garcia has made a career out of knocking on doors the living would rather keep shut. Raised in a household where Santería rituals and disembodied voices were part of everyday life, James learned early that the dead are rarely silent. Decades later, his camera, EVP recorders, and iron nerves have carried him into some of America's most notorious haunts—including Hales Bar Dam—earning him chilling evidence … and a few unwanted attachments. Why risk oppression for another photograph in the dark?
