Natalie Merchant joined 10,000 Maniacs when she was 17, had a long and successful solo career and then began teaching children in New York State. Realising the value of rhymes and theatre, her adaptation of Mother Goose (played by herself) was expanded into a multi-media performance with 150 four-year-olds and recorded with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She even made most of the costumes. And she's never had an audience reaction as enthusiastic and emotional. It's a magnificent project to give children experiences that modern life rarely affords “right down to the thrill of seeing people play real instruments”. She talks to us here from her New York home about ‘Cabinet Of Wonder', along with … … her first stage appearances, aged seven … scanning record collections and thinking “if they don't have a copy of Nico's ‘Chelsea Girl', we can't be friends!” … how improvising lyrics got her into 10,000 Maniacs (“who I wanted to call the Tunda Bunnies”) … seeing Styx, the Cars and the Clash playing ‘Combat Rock' … how she and her daughter grew up in homes without TV … and the threat of future education run by avatars.

We re-visit one of the most emotional and gripping conversations we have ever recorded. Eight Olympic medals, five of them gold, and the first Briton ever to win the Tour de France. For one summer in 2012, Sir Bradley Wiggins was the most famous man in Britain — sideburns, gold medal, sat on a throne at Hampton Court. He couldn't bring himself to put the medal on.Bradley takes us right back to the beginning: a council estate in Kilburn, a father who left when he was eighteen months old and came back only once his son was successful, and a coach who sexually abused him between the ages of thirteen and sixteen — something he didn't say out loud for thirty years. Then he traces, with total honesty, how that damage became the fuel that made him great, and how the same fuel nearly destroyed him when the racing stopped.Moments that will stay with you:Why Bradley laid his Olympic gold medal on the sofa rather than put it round his neckSmashing his trophies off the mantelpiece, and throwing out his knighthoodHis father's line, a week after they finally met: "Don't forget, you'll never be as good as your old man was"Realising the voice screaming at him up every climb of the Tour was his stepfather'sLance Armstrong offering to pay for his treatment, and what Bradley said backThe hotel room his son had to come and find him inHe's unflinching on what drove him: that greatness often grows out of a dark place, and that isn't something to romanticise. That you don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your habits. That fulfilment carries you further than happiness ever will. And his hardest-won lesson — not everyone who helps you is your friend, and not everyone who hurts you is your enemy. The answer isn't to forget the past. It's to change your relationship with it.Contains discussion of the sexual abuse of children and of addiction. Please listen with care.Revolut Business

In this episode, we discuss ‘the best Jaws rip-off' - Joe Dante's original sci-fi horror Piranha stands out from the countless array of nature-bites-back flicks thanks to its in-your-face and unapologetic ode to genre filmmaking. Synopsis:When two hapless teens disappear after trekking past an abandoned military compound, skip tracer Maggie McKeown is sent to find them, unenthusiastically aided by local drunkard Paul Grogan. Whilst investigating the military compound, Maggie and Paul unwittingly release a swarm of blood thirsty, genetically modified piranhas into the river. Realising their mistake, they race against the clock, and the current, to save the town from a school of very hungry fish!Editing and theme music by Adam Hynes @adamnarrowsFollow the hosts of Monstrous Flesh on social media @monstrous_flesh and @monstrousmeg ****Show NotesCastBradford Dillman as Paul GroganHeather Menzies as Maggie McKeownKevin McCarthy as Dr. Robert HoakKeenan Wynn as JackDick Miller as Buck GardnerBarbara Steele as Dr. MengersBelinda Balaski as BetsyMelody Thomas Scott as Laura DickinsonShannon Collins as Suzie GroganBruce Gordon as Colonel WaxmanBarry Brown as TrooperPaul Bartel as DumontShawn Nelson as WhitneyRichard Deacon as Earl LyonJohn Sayles as SentryPiranha! | Plantasia Tropical Zoo How a President Propagated a Piranha Myth – Greater Cleveland Aquarium The Myth of the Sacred Piranha: The Fearsome Fish - Babylonian Mythology The Myth and Mayhem of Piranhas: Debunking the "Deadly" Reputation Piranha director Joe Dante on B-movies, Spielberg and ripping off Jaws - SciFiNow

He’s back in Australia right now to front another Miller play – one the great works in the American canon – playing Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman. A limited two-week season kicks off Tuesday, August 11 at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne, before moving on to Brisbane.

In this episode of the Arete Podcast, Richard Triggs sits down with John Lewis, Co-Founder of Lewis Woolcott and Lware, to explore entrepreneurship, innovation and the changing future of major infrastructure projects. John's career began on construction sites in the UK after he left university early. He later returned to study construction law, moved through senior commercial and project leadership roles with organisations including ConocoPhillips, Origin Energy and GE, and eventually recognised that he was better suited to building businesses than navigating a traditional corporate career. Today, John leads two connected but very different businesses. Lewis Woolcott provides commercial, project controls and dispute advisory services across major construction, infrastructure and mining projects. Lware develops technology designed to give project teams better visibility, stronger analytics and faster insight into cost, delay and performance. Richard and John discuss the realities of growing two businesses, why construction has been slow to adopt new technology, and how combining industry expertise with software can solve problems traditional consulting has struggled with for decades. They also explore the impact of AI on consulting, the tension between billable hours and greater efficiency, and why human judgement will remain essential even as data analysis becomes faster and more sophisticated. This is a conversation about recognising opportunity, challenging accepted ways of working and having the confidence to build something the market has not seen before.

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. (John 7:6) ~~~~ This sermon was preached into the churches in Australia from England. ~~~~ *1/ The timing of our Lord being taken and crucified pointing to Jesus being the Christ. 2/ The Lord's time in the lives of his people through scripture. 3/ Realising our being the Lord's people by seeing his ordering of our lives.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon explores the divine sovereignty over time, focusing on Jesus' declaration that His hour had not yet come. It contrasts human impatience with God's perfect timing in history and individual lives, using biblical examples like Abraham and Joseph to illustrate trust in providence. The preacher emphasizes that Christ's crucifixion occurred at the precise moment ordained by Scripture, validating His identity as the Messiah. Believers are encouraged to find comfort in knowing their own timelines are securely held by God, regardless of current struggles or delays. Ultimately, the message calls for faith and patience, trusting that all events unfold according to God's wise and gracious purpose.

Realising his dream of shooting an entire film on 70mm IMAX stock, Christopher Nolan adapts Homer's ancient Greek poem The Odyssey, a vast mythological epic and one of the foundational works of Western literature. We haven't seen it in full IMAX but IMAX Digital, the pretender to the IMAX name that nonetheless offers the best screen in Birmingham, which for three hours immerses us in the story of a war hero's attempt to return home and handle his past. Other than the film's tempo and structure, which tell the story swiftly and non-chronologically, but without ever losing us, we don't agree on much. For José, it's beautiful to look at; for Mike, the visual pleasures are few and far between. José likes the performances across the board; Mike expresses serious reservations about some of them. We also discuss the disappointment of the final action scene, the extent to which the film treats the Greek gods as real, Zeus' law and how well the film represents ancient Greek culture and ways of thinking, and whether its explicit contextualisation of the story as a metaphor for PTSD is earned. Recorded on 23rd June 2026.

Early childhood development lays the foundation for a child's future, with the first five years playing a crucial role in shaping brain development, emotional well-being, language skills, and overall health. Experiences during this period have a lasting impact on a child's ability to learn, adapt, and thrive.Realising these benefits, however, depends on consistent and adequate financing. Investments in early childhood programmes help children develop to their full potential while enabling women to participate in the workforce.As part of our ongoing collaboration with Mobile Creches, we bring to you the fifth and final episode of the series, where we talk about prioritising funding Early Childhood Development.To have this conversation, we are joined by Shekufeh Zonji, who is the Global Technical Lead at Early Childhood Development Action Network.

Raised in a house with fourteen family members, Daymé Arocena reflects on how music, ancestry, and community shaped the woman she became. n this episode of Identified, Nabil Ayers sits down with Cuban singer, songwriter, and composer Daymé Arocena for a conversation about family, ancestry, identity, music, and leaving home to pursue impossible dreams. Daymé reflects on growing up in Havana in a house shared by fourteen family members, where singing wasn’t entertainment—it was survival. She explains how music became a daily expression of joy, resilience, and healing, long before she imagined becoming a professional musician. The conversation explores Cuba’s conservatory system, discovering jazz, embracing her Afro-Cuban identity, and the responsibility she felt carrying her family’s hopes while pursuing a career in music. She also shares how Yoruba spirituality shaped her understanding of success, responsibility, grief, and ancestry. From stories about her grandmother—the matriarch who inspired her artistry—to reflections on leaving Cuba, poverty, ambition, and becoming “the wildest dream” of her ancestors, this is an intimate conversation about identity, resilience, and the people who make us who we are.

In this episode, I'm sharing the very honest story of doing my first public speaking event in ten years. Despite running a successful personal brand and talking for a living, standing in front of a room still made me physically shake. I'll explain where that fear came from, why I kept avoiding it, and what finally helped me step forward.I'm also exploring the stories we tell ourselves to stay safe in business. Sometimes the next level is hiding behind the thing we keep putting off. Mine was public speaking, complete with train delays, questionable outfit choices and a deeply inconvenient childhood memory.Highlights:(04:12) - Realising my protective ‘no year' had stopped serving me(06:18) - The childhood public speaking disaster I never fully forgot(09:25) - Why confidence on a podcast does not mean confidence everywhere(12:10) - Arriving late, underprepared and very tempted to run away(16:02) - The mindset shift that helped me see the room differently(17:32) - The moment I admitted I was scared and the fear disappearedTo find out more:WebsiteInstagram(FREE) THE CUSHY WORK WEEK PLAYBOOKThis podcast is proudly produced by Wavemakers Audio

Ed Cowan is an Australian test cricketer, investor, podcaster and author.He's one of those people whose name I jotted down 6 years ago when I started the show earmarked as a ‘dream guest'.He played in a golden era of Australian cricket and did so at a time when I was obsessed with the sport myself (I had delusions about being a test cricketer) and therefore like the music of your youth those cricketers you grew up with leave a certain impression. I've since been a long time listener of his 'Scaling Up' podcast series and tune in weekly for the ABC Cricket Podcast where he is a co-host.Ed has an occasionally controversial, but always influential voice on the Australian cricketing landscape.It's an absolute pleasure to have recorded this with him.He had 32 test innings for Australia across 18 matches, scored one test hundred and over 1000 runs in total.You'll find a link to both his book and his podcast here. Leave a review on Apple or Spotify (nothing does more to help grow the show)It's an enormous pleasure to have spoken with Ed, we discussed...How Ed always kept a foot in multiple worlds, even though it came at a cost. The transition out of professional sport and why so many athletes struggle with it.His mentor Peter RoebuckMental health in cricket and how the culture has shifted.His Test career: the debut hundred, the weight of expectation, homework-gate, and his illness that coincided with the Ashes and the end of his international career.Ed's views on IPL money, BBL privitisation and governance.The business of cricket: how he'd restructure Cricket Australia, player pay, and bringing patient, evergreen capital into the Big Bash.And, as always, the role serendipity has played in his life, to which, as an opening batsman, he had the perfect answer.Timestamps...00:00 — Realising a cricket career was possible02:17 — Under-19s in Sri Lanka, surrounded by future Test players07:38 — The transition myth: why it's a decade, not twelve months14:08 — Do athletes have too much free time?17:03 — Travel, brooding, and the Matthew Talbot shelter that shifted his perspective27:02 — The Cricinfo depression piece33:31 — NSW's logjam of talent and the fresh start in Tasmania36:30 — Called up to Australia; the left-handed-opener mystery39:36 — Peter Roebuck: discipline, mangoes, and the debut century dedicated to him44:43 — The 18 innings: expectation, emotional regulation, homework-gate50:42 — The Ashes, falling ill, and his final Test54:00 — Resentment, selection, and "perception is reality"55:12 — Death of a Gentleman, the IPL, and cricket's governance crisis1:00:23 — Ambitions in cricket; the ABC podcast as a public service1:08:08 — Privatising the Big Bash and bringing in patient capital1:13:55 — Serendipity, Gideon Haig, and "I was an opening batsman"Some choice snippets from the conversation.On transition out of sport"A lot of sportspeople think transition is your last twelve months of playing and your first twelve months of the real world. That's only a tiny speck of what it actually looks like. You come out of sport and you're at the bottom of the next mountain — you've got the tools to climb it, but that's another journey in and of itself."On identity"One of the thresholds is: do you still think of yourself as a cricketer? It's not part of my identity anymore at all. Some people say, 'You're the guy who used to play cricket.' Yeah, that was me. But that takes a while."On the perspective that pulled him out of a funk (volunteering at the Matthew Talbot shelter)"Here I was brooding over nicking one to second slip the day before. And here are guys who hadn't made any bad choices — they were just out of luck."On the chip on his shoulder"You think I'm not training hard enough? I'll beat you in the beep test. You think I'm not preparing properly? I'll get a hundred on the weekend."On why cricket breeds brooders"The output's objective. There's nothing subjective about getting a twenty-ball duck. And the time lag from error to atonement is long — it can be two days, and you're doing nothing.""The key to good mental health in cricket is celebrating your teammates' success. That's rarer than you'd think."On the fresh start in Tasmania"The joy of a fresh start is you can be whoever you want to be the moment you walk in the door. There's no judgment about what school you went to. You're judged from day one only."On luck (the serendipity close)"Two more centimetres of Morne Morkel's size-fourteen boot behind the line, and I'm out for forty-eight.

Luck can come and find you — but it's up to each individual to make that lucky moment count."On the business of cricket"Our best players probably don't get paid enough, and our worst players get paid too much.""An IPL owner's incentive is not to grow the Big Bash.

What if growth wasn't about bigger budgets—but better connections? In this episode, Professor Mat Hughes sits down with Farhana Khan, founder of Armour Femme, to unpack how she built a fashion brand from scratch with almost no budget—and turned it into a community-led experience featured at London Fashion Week and Selfridges. Farhana shares the real story behind “low budget growth”: relentless networking and the courage to pitch herself in person—until one conversation led to a breakthrough collaboration with Lush that changed everything. This isn't a story about viral hacks or ad spend. It's about showing up, building trust with strangers, and turning moments into momentum. From university networking events to packed “Charm Lounge” pop-ups, Farhana reveals how in-person experiences became the engine of her growth—creating not just sales, but repeat customers and a genuine sense of belonging. The biggest shift? Realising the product isn't the centre of the brand—the community is. Expect honest insights on resilience, rejection, and the emotional side of entrepreneurship—plus practical lessons on how to grow a brand when all you have is time, creativity, and the willingness to connect. If you're building something from nothing, this episode will change how you think about growth.

What if the very thing you believe makes you a good person is actually keeping you stuck? In this episode of the Quantum Business Queen Podcast, Sarah Tynan explores one of the biggest hidden patterns preventing entrepreneurs, coaches, healers, and leaders from creating the reality they truly desire: accommodation. Most people think accommodation is kindness. Most people think accommodation is generosity. Most people think accommodation is simply being a good human. But what if accommodation is actually the unconscious act of bending your standards, your truth, and your power to make other people comfortable? Inside this powerful episode, you'll discover: ✨ Why accommodation is one of the biggest ways we unconsciously give our power away ✨ How your rules, standards, and meanings shape your reality ✨ Why the universe responds to your lowest standards and most limiting beliefs ✨ The hidden connection between accommodation and manifestation ✨ How to stop living by other people's rules and start creating your own reality ✨ The difference between awareness and embodiment ✨ Why entrepreneurs at every level—from their first $20K month to multiple seven figures—struggle with the same pattern ✨ Practical exercises to identify where you're accommodating and reclaim your power If you've been feeling stuck, frustrated, disconnected from your vision, or like you're carrying more than your fair share, this episode will help you identify exactly where you've been accommodating others at the expense of your own expansion.

Teddy is a dental therapist who walked away from a high‑flying corporate role to work in rural Nicaragua, where she eventually met her husband.Together they talk about risk, resilience, sisterhood, and what it really looks like to choose the daring route when nothing is guaranteed.Key Takeaways & Timestamps[00:02:47] Daring stories: quitting jobs & choosing riskTeddy shares how she quit a prestigious international dental job and followed her heart to Nicaragua.Mary explains her mantra: “take the risk or lose the chance” and why she always chooses the dare over the safe option.[00:03:28] Motorway breakdown & battery change – live ‘she dares, she wins'The chaotic journey to the studio: Teddy's car breaking down on the motorway.Mary diagnosing the battery, buying tools, negotiating with highway maintenance and changing the battery at the roadside in minutes.[00:08:02] 500 toothbrushes & an NGO in NicaraguaTeddy's decision to travel with a suitcase of toothbrushes to support an NGO dental project.Staying six months instead of three weeks, travelling the country, and eventually deciding to quit her corporate role.How this led to meeting her husband and redefining success.[00:14:06] Mary's path in a family trade – from “embarrassed” to expertGrowing up around the family fibrous plastering business and returning after having her daughter.Being a woman in a male‑dominated heritage trade when it “wasn't fashionable.”Deciding not just to be a female plasterer, but to be the best and “better than the boys.”[00:17:16] Resilience, single motherhood & mental strengthMary on being knocked down in work and personal life and still getting up every time.Balancing running the business, raising her daughter alone, doing admin late at night and still choosing this life for the freedom it brings.How challenges that would be “massive” to others now feel manageable.[00:21:16] Representation, role models & social mediaHow Mary's Instagram makes her visible to young girls who now see a woman on the tools as normal.Her daughter questioning words like “firemen” and assuming women run building sites.The importance of seeing someone who looks like you doing the thing you dream of.[00:31:12] What they'd tell their younger selves (and why they wouldn't change the hard bits)Both reflecting on mistakes, especially around relationships and risk.Teddy's intense experience with a brownie in Amsterdam, how it surfaced unresolved trauma, and why she says “go to therapy before you have a brownie (or just don't do them).”The idea that the painful chapters were necessary to become who they are now.[00:39:25] The craft: heritage ceilings, the Guild & teaching the next generationMary explains decorative mouldings and working on stately homes and castles.Her role in the Guild (founded 1509), becoming the youngest and only female journeyman so far, and the rarity of female master plasterers.Running workshops, Airbnb experiences and college sessions – creating safe learning spaces where no question is stupid.[00:49:24] Identity, calling & coming home to yourselfTeddy's current RAF clinic role and living on base in Lincolnshire.The identity crisis of moving to rural Nicaragua: language, culture, lifestyle all changing at once.Realising not every part of her “old self” has to die – some passions and projects are meant to be carried forward into the new life.Join Dare Club Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailWhen Andy Gotts was 18, a stranger in Norfolk asked him why he didn't look happy. That single question and the Photography Teacher it quietly led him to, set in motion a 36 year path from a college darkroom in King's Lynn to Hollywood's most idiosyncratic black-and-white portraits.In this Stories of Distinction & Genius episode, Chris Grimes welcomes Andy "One Shot" Gotts into The Clearing to trace the whole arc: From the 300 letters with not a single reply, the 1 yes from Joss Ackland at his son's wedding in Clovelly, and the line "what do you do and who shagged who?!" that finally gave the wish list its theme. Andy talks about the 150 Actors he set out to photograph in 1995, the long, patient pursuit of Gary Oldman that ended this year through Big Mo and a young actress sliding into his DMs, and how Paul Newman himself christened him "One Shot Gotts" after a 4 minute shoot in Connecticut.The conversation moves through the people who shaped him: His milkman father leaving for work at 3:00 every morning, his devoted mother, Dr Tony Leach who taught him Photography on Saturdays in Holt, Stephen Fry whose 90 second portrait at a college Q&A genuinely started his career, and Sir John Hurt, born on the very same day as Andy's dad. Andy shares the afternoon in East Runton when John told him over a pint of red wine that he had cancer and months to live, and asked Andy back the following weekend to direct him. What followed - John in his late father's priest's robes, speaking 'Imagine' as a parable in a single take - became John Hurt's last ever recording.There are also the secret Monty Python reunion shoots at Duke's at 3:00 in the morning; LS Lowry, Hitchcock and Sidney Poitier's story about Tony Curtis and The Defiant Ones; Bob Ross's happy little clouds taking over lockdown; three years spent funding a degree as a Norfolk Nightclub Bouncer; an unwavering refusal to retouch a single line on a face; and the epitaph Ringo Starr gave him, "the Ansel Adams of faces."A warm, story-rich hour and a half about tenacity, taste, and what it really means to "stay on the bus!"

To many people, “being sustainable” seems like an active choice and sacrifice that someone has to make – but there are plenty of things they may already be doing without realising they're sustainable. Kate Hall joined Jack Tame to run through the list. Cooking at home instead of eating out Buying seasonal or local produce (international imports often cost more) Wearing clothes longer / repairing instead of replacing Using leftovers and stretching meals Buying second-hand furniture Travelling domestically instead of internationally (or not at all) Avoiding turning the AC/heat pump on & opting for doors open/more blankets instead Thinking about something for a long time before purchasing Choosing experiences as gifts over buying more stuff Taking the bus, walking, or biking instead of driving Washing clothes less often (only when they actually need it) Doing fuller loads instead of small, frequent washes Bringing a drink bottle everywhere you go instead of buying drinks out Making coffee at home instead of buying daily coffees (often in disposable cups) LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sarah Vaughan worked as a reporter and correspondent for The Guardian for years, before finally starting a novel on her 40th birthday. She published 'The Art of Baking Blind' and 'The Farm at the Edge of the World', aimed at book-clubs, which in her words, 'didn't really trouble the bestsellers list'. Then, out of contract, she wrote, 'Anatomy of a Scandal', and everything changed. It was a smash-hit and inspired a Netflix series which was viewed hundreds of millions of times. She's since published, 'Little Disasters', which was made into a Paramount+ show, and released, 'Reputation'.Her new novel is, 'Based on a True Story'. It tells the tale of Dame Eleanor Kingman, the nation's most loved storyteller, with an entire generation growing up on her stories.... but now, someone wants to reveal the truth about who she really is.We discuss whether streaming success has changed how she thinks through a plot, and whether knowing what might land on screen has altered what ideas she takes on.Also you can hear about starting late and finally getting success, why she's switched to write scenes, and her journeys through genre and writing out of contract.Get a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineRead the newsletter - writersroutine.substack.comThis week's episode of the podcast is sponsored by Philippa Hall's 'Quick Book Reviews Podcast'.Support the show - patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

There are plenty of ways to get the attention of someone you're crushing on. It might come very naturally to some, but for others, flirting can be an intimidating proposition. Have you ever wondered if someone is flirting with you, because of their somewhat ambiguous approach? Well, they may have been micro-flirting, a technique that dating experts say is used by shy men in particular. And there are actually some pretty recognisable under-the-radar strategies that qualify as micro-flirting, which is what we're going to shed light on today. How exactly does one micro-flirt then? Why do shy people tend to veer towards a micro-flirting approach then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In this deeply personal solo episode, I take you through my full travel journey—from growing up in Norwich with no real concept of travel, to building a life around it in Vancouver and around the world.This isn't just a story about where I've been—it's about how my mindset around travel has completely evolved over time.From partying through Southeast Asia in my early 20s, to seeking culture, connection, and purpose in my 30s… this episode breaks down the different phases of travel, what changed, and why I now see travel as a long-term lifestyle rather than a short-term escape.I also share honest reflections on burnout, money, building a travel-focused career, and what the future of travel looks like for me.If you've ever wondered how travel fits into your life long-term—or how your relationship with it might change over time—this one's for you.To finish, I want to share with you, the audience, an episode where you get to know me more. I have been doing this for five years, and I believe sharing more personal details will help build a tighter Winging It community.I hope you enjoy the episode and that it inspires you to travel for the first time or to dream about making it a lifestyle.

Join Zach, Zoe, and Izzy for an eye-opening exploration of the Parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14, unpacking what it means to accept God's invitation, why people say no to Him without even realising it, and how we're called to extend radical generosity and hospitality to those on the margins.

Are you leading your team… or unknowingly holding them back?In my work as a leadership coach, I've seen how easy it is for well-intentioned leaders to fall into toxic patterns, without even realising it.In this episode, I break down the subtle behaviours that quietly build into toxic leadership. The ones that don't look harmful on the surface, but over time, create dependency, frustration, and disengagement within your team.From being the “fixer” to micromanaging, avoiding conflict, or slipping into passive aggression, these are patterns I've seen in countless leaders… and ones I've had to confront in myself too.This is not about blame.It's about awareness.Because the moment you can see it, you can change it.00:00 – Are you a toxic leader without realising it?00:40 – The toxic leadership pyramid explained01:10 – The “fixer” trap: helping vs control02:00 – Why micromanagement limits your team02:50 – Avoiding conflict and the need to be liked03:40 – Passive aggression and emotional awareness04:30 – When toxicity turns into bullying05:00 – How to recognise and shift these behavioursThis Episode Explores:• Toxic leadership behaviours• Micromanagement and control patterns• Emotional intelligence in leadership• Workplace bullying awareness• Leadership self-awareness• Building empowered teams• Breaking unconscious habitsReflection Questions for Leaders• Where am I over-helping instead of empowering?• What am I still controlling that I should let go? • Which conversation am I avoiding right now?• Where have I been indirect instead of honest?If this episode feels uncomfortable, that's a sign you're paying attention.Leadership isn't about being perfect.It's about being aware enough to do better.

In this week's episode, host Anna Campbell is joined by Vicky Barclay of Silver Snail Jewellery to talk about her journey from a high-pressure university career into jewellery making and business ownership through silver clay. Vicky shares how discovering silver clay during a difficult period in her life gave her a creative outlet, a new direction and eventually a business. What started as a single workshop quickly grew into a passion, and then into a jewellery business built through craft fairs, community and continuous learning. They discuss why silver clay is such an accessible and exciting medium, the realities of building a jewellery business, and the importance of investing in your skills and confidence. Vicky also shares her experience of the Diploma in Silver Metal Clay and how it helped her deepen her knowledge and build confidence in her work. The conversation also explores the importance of visibility in business, and Vicky reflects on her experience of attending the Jewellers Visibility Retreat at Jewellers Academy Brighton, where she developed skills in photography, social media and marketing, and gained clarity on how to grow her business.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Tigz Rice, an empowerment photographer whose work centres on helping people feel truly seen in their own bodies.Diagnosed with ADHD and autism in her late 30s, Tigz reflects on the subtle signs that were present throughout childhood — from early hyperfocus on computers and photography to lifelong curiosity about how things work. What began as a casual exploration of ADHD eventually led to a dual diagnosis that reframed decades of experience and self-understanding.Together, Angela and Tigz explore late discovery, high masking, creative hyperfocus, and how learning her neurodivergent “user manual” has changed how she treats herself.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Jenna Goldstein, a late-diagnosed Autistic school psychologist who left the public education system after recognising its incompatibility with neurodiversity-affirming practice.Jenna first recognised her own autism after her three-year-old daughter was identified. As she turned to Autistic voices for understanding, what began as advocacy for her child became a deeper self-recognition. Within months, she self-identified, and years later sought a formal diagnosis from an Autistic evaluator to connect more dots and model an Autistic identity for her children.This is a conversation about human rights, blueprint-building, leaving systems that harm, and crafting lives that actually work for autistic nervous systems.

In this fun interview between neighbours, Mike speaks with Tadhg O'Connell about lessons that he has learned as a preacher, testimony-giver, camp-speaker, addiction-recovery-activist and community organiser. They speak about neck tattoos, mountain top experiences, caring for the community and more. My name is Tadhg O'Connell, and I have lived all my life in Ballyphehane, a place I am deeply proud to call home. For many years, I was trapped in addiction, living in the bondage of my own sinful desires and feeling completely hopeless, to the point where I did not want to live anymore. In the middle of that darkness, I picked up a Bible and read Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” and for the first time I truly understood that I was a sinner in need of salvation. But I also came to see that Christ had done everything necessary for me to have a relationship with God, as Hebrews 10:12 says, “But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.” Realising that Jesus had paid the price for my sin changed my life completely. Today I am a member of Douglas Baptist Church, and my heart is especially for those still caught in addiction. I believe God has called me to remain where He saved me, as 1 Corinthians 7:20 says, “Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them,” and so my heart is heavy for the people in disadvantaged communities  who still feel lost and do not know their lives are valued because they are made in the image of God. I now run an addiction group every Monday night at 8pm in Ballyphehane Community Centre, seeking to bring the light of Jesus into this dark world, sharing the hope that rescued me and giving all the glory to Him.  SAVE THE DATE Our next in-person training event will be at Reliance Church in Temecula, California May 15-16th, early bird registration is available now, save your seat as soon as possible!  https://expositorscollective.org/gatherings/ConnectFor information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com Join our private Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpositorsCollective

What happens when you're not just climbing the ladder, but standing at the very top? For Lize Ratliff, that meant achieving her dream job as Head of Podcasts at Mamamia, after 10 years hustling to get there. Lize’s journey is a masterclass in pure tenacity. She started at 19 as an intern from a small country town, so determined to work for Mia Freedman that she "literally didn't leave”. Over the next decade, she climbed the ladder through nine different titles - from intern to Mia's EA, to the first-ever producer of No Filter - eventually becoming the woman running the entire 29-show operation. For Lize, the birth of her first child was the catalyst for an enormous change. Realising the demands of the job were incompatible with the life she wanted as a mother, she and her husband came to a terrifying realisation: they needed to ‘blow up their life.’ In a move that left many stunned, they both quit their high-profile Sydney jobs, moved to Newcastle, and Lize enrolled in a Master's degree to pursue a completely new career: As a high school English teacher. This is a raw and candid look at what it means to walk away from the top. We cover the creative job application that got her hired, the moment she crashed her boss's car (and kept her job), and the overwhelming "what have I done?" feeling that hits after you trade a high-prestige career for a student ID. Get ready to learn why sometimes, you have to "just jump.” THE END BITS: Want more from Sarah Davidson? Check out her podcast Seize The Yay. Discover more Mamamia podcasts here.

If you have anxious attachment, this episode is for you..You might not be double-texting.You might not be chasing in obvious ways. You might even look secure on the outside..And yet… you're still not being chosen..In this episode, I'm breaking down the subtle, unconscious ways people with anxious attachment are still chasing love without realising it - and why simply “acting secure” doesn't change your relationship outcomes..I share my own personal stories, client patterns, and the six chasing archetypes I see over and over again in people who want love, stability, and commitment - but keep recreating the same painful dynamics..We cover: • The difference between secure behaviour and anxious survival strategies • How anxious attachment shows up as fixing, proving, pleasing, performing, waiting, or hyper-independence • Why you can stop chasing on the surface and still sabotage love underneath • How self-concept and subconscious beliefs determine who chooses you • Why being “low maintenance”, overly understanding, or hyper-independent is still chasing• How these patterns keep recreating partners who don't fully choose you.If you've ever thought: “Why am I still not chosen even though I'm doing everything right?”.This episode will help you see exactly what's happening - clearly, honestly, and without blame..Find out your dominant chasing archetypeMost people don't just have one - but there is usually one that runs the show underneath..

In this episode I am joined by British occultists, authors, and creative collaborators Alan Chapman and Duncan Barford. Alan and Duncan reflect on their decades of shared magickal practice and creative collaboration. They recall their first meeting at the secret society the “Illuminates of Thanateros” and muse on the gatekeeping and status games of the Chaos magick scene. They explain why they feel their emphasis on awakening and association with Buddhist writer and self-proclaimed arhat Daniel Ingram has contributed to their being shunned by leading figures in British occultism. Alan and Duncan take a deep dive into their controversial new understanding of Aleister Crowley, address criticism levelled at them, and reveal the idealogical mistake that drove Alan to withdraw one of his biggest public projects. Alan and Duncan also share their current practices, detail how to develop visionary capability, give their best understanding about how magick really works, and offer their advice for those who wish to enter the path of Western occultism. … Video: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep345-magick-awakening-crowley-alan-chapman-duncan-barford Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:13 - Meeting at an occult secret society 06:29 - Formative experiences of group magick 07:36 - Should you join the IoT? 07:53 - The importance of group magick 08:19 - Timidity in magickal practice 10:20 - What does magick have to do with enlightenment? 12:03 - Jealousy in spiritual circles 14:38 - Peter Carroll vs Neoplatonism 17:11 - Alan and Duncan's contribution to Chaos Magick 19:07 - Feuds between religionists 20:33 - What kind of person is drawn to Chaos Magick? 22:25 - Gatekeeping and status games 23:10 - The best thing about Chaos Magicians 25:45 - Bad uses of Chaos Magick 28:38 - Being ignored by the magickal community 29:24 - Why were Alan and Duncan ignored? 30:!4 - Controversial association with Daniel Ingram 31:54 - Why did Peter Carroll dislike Alan and Duncan? 33:01 - How to understand magickal results and synchronicities 36:46 - How Duncan's practice has changed over time 40:13- Awakening and the structure of things 43:16 - Alan's current practice 43:57 - The everyday as a basis 45:07 - How to get started in magick 52:35 - Permission and confidence 53:41 - Developing visionary capability 54:55 - Alan's understanding of the path 01:00:32 - Pinnacle of practical magick 01:01:46 - Duncan's Goddess vision 01:03:14 - The basis of the path 01:07:50 - How magick works 01:09:00 - Criticism of Alan abandoning projects 01:16:14 - Sigmund Freud 01:16:57 - Why do people criticise Alan? 01:18:56 - One thing that really annoys Alan 01:20:53 - Resentment and psychological shadow 01:22:43 - Malevolence and denying enlightenment 01:29:26 - A dark occult conference experience 01:31:20 - Envy and counter-initiation 01:33:51 - Creative journey 01:35:49 - The toxic belief in cultural progress 01:39:38 - Ken Wilber's Integral Theory 01:41:10 - Daniel Ingram's pivot to science 01:42:19 - The spirit of the times 01:44:08 - Realising cultural chauvinism 01:49:53 - Desire to do something else 01:51:30 - Source of many problems 01:53:23 - The Crowley project 02:01:15 - Alan's academic approach 02:03:53 - Legal challenges 02:06:34 - Crowley on Chinese wisdom 02:09:05 - Dao De Jing 02:17:24 - Misunderstandings about the Dao De Jing 02:19:03 - Jung's (mis?)undersanding of Asian classics 02:21:06 - Western alchemy and spirit writing 02:23:19 - Two kinds of researchers 02:290:02 - Life of Aleister Crowley 02:31:28 - The Inner Church 02:33:28 - The Bornless Rite 02:35:18 - The Book of the Law 02:45:24 - Crossing the abyss 02:47:39 - Mad or enlightened? 02:52:20 - Liber 31 02:53:53 - Crowley's failures 02:55:57 - Jung and Philip K Dick 02:56:41 - Controversial take on Crowley 03:00:48 - Why follow Crowley's path?

The danger isn't dying unprepared. It's believing you'll prepare in time. This episode confronts one of the most dangerous habits of the heart: delay. Not open rebellion, not clear rejection, but the quiet confidence that there's still time. Time to change. Time to return. Time to take things seriously. In Episode 3 of the Ta'iyyah of Abu Ishaq al-Ilbiri, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble unpacks verses that speak to the soul that feels safe, settled, and just awake enough to keep going. The kind of sleep that doesn't look like heedlessness, but is exactly that. The poet isn't describing strangers. He's speaking to someone he knows well. Someone sincere, but distracted. Someone who loves the dunya. Someone who keeps thinking the real wake-up moment is still far away. This lesson circles a haunting idea: what if the moment you finally pay attention is the moment you can no longer act? Watch carefully. Not later. Some awakenings don't come twice.
