Podcasts about reclamation

When nervous system regulation replaces pressure, parental clarity returns. If parenting feels confusing or heavy despite your effort, this episode explores why clarity isn't lost — it's crowded — and how identity-level recalibration brings it back online.There is a particular kind of exhaustion parents rarely name — the fatigue of no longer trusting your own knowing.In this episode of The Recalibration, we move into the Reclamation stage of Identity-Level Recalibration — the moment when clarity begins to return, not because you worked harder, but because pressure eased.In this episode, we explore:Why parenting confusion is often a sign of nervous system overload, not a lack of wisdomHow sustained pressure crowds out discernment, even in capable, thoughtful parentsWhat begins to return when regulation replaces vigilanceWhy clarity often comes back quietly and without effortHow identity-level recalibration differs from mindset work, behavior change, or productivity strategiesWhat it feels like when your system starts trusting itself againThroughout Season Four, we're practicing recalibration inside real areas of life rather than discussing it abstractly. This week's focus is parenting — understood broadly, from the child lens, the parent lens, or both.When nervous system load decreases:Perspective widensValues become easier to accessDecisions take less energyYou stop rehearsing and start sensing what mattersThis episode gently reframes confusion as information — evidence that your system has been carrying too much for too long.This is not mindset work.It's not optimization.And it's not about becoming someone new.Identity-Level Recalibration begins with who you are, not what you do — because when identity is aligned, clarity doesn't need to be forced. It returns.Today's Micro Recalibration:Notice one place where clarity feels a little more accessible than it did before.No analysis. No explanation. Just recognition.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Corrosion rarely announces itself as a "big water problem." It shows up as leaching at the tap, residual loss in the field, premature equipment replacement, and the slow, expensive erosion of decision-quality.  Pat Rosenstiel (CEO) and Wolf Merker (chemist/Chief Science Officer) of Great Water Tech lay out a system-wide view of corrosion control—starting with what changed in Flint from a technical standpoint and moving into why many utilities still struggle to meet expectations when standards and risk assumptions shift.  System-wide corrosion control starts with chemistry and consequences  A source-water change can shift corrosivity fast. If corrosion control does not adjust proactively, the downstream effects show in metal release and public exposure. Wolf stresses the distinction between the technical problem and the political challenges, then points to corrosion control as a solvable technical matter when it is treated as a system condition—not a single asset issue.  Why "phosphate-only" isn't the end of the story  Trace frames what most operators recognize: many municipalities use phosphate inhibitors to form a tenacious film and reduce corrosion. Wolf argues phosphates are "a little bit of old news" in practice and explains the approach Great Water Tech discusses with their German partners—using phosphates and silicates together in the right amounts to create a tighter separation between water and metal.  Barriers, biology, and the disinfection tradeoff  Wolf breaks corrosion drivers into three sources: chemical, biological, and electrochemical (dissimilar metal corrosion). He also ties corrosion to cascading operational decisions—especially disinfectant strategy. If residual loss pushes a system from chlorine to chloramine, Wolf warns that corrosivity can increase dramatically, and that corrosion can amplify the formation of disinfection byproducts as chlorine reacts with what is in the water.  What industrial water treaters should listen for  Pat connects the same barrier logic to industrial priorities—CapEx, OpEx, and lifecycle extension in closed systems (cooling towers, closed chilled loops, boilers). Wolf clarifies that closed systems require different product "flavors," while keeping the core concept consistent: the combined silicate/phosphate approach remains the best path he is aware of.  Listen to the full conversation above.

Relationships can feel confusing when clarity returns without effort. If you're noticing less pressure, less rehearsal, and more internal knowing, this episode explores why that's not withdrawal—but identity-level realignment beginning to settle.There's a moment in relationships when something quietly changes inside you.You're no longer rehearsing what to say.You're not scanning for emotional shifts.You're not managing closeness the way you used to.Instead, you simply know what you feel.For many people—especially high-capacity, deeply responsible partners—this return of clarity can feel both relieving and vulnerable. Relief, because the internal noise has softened. Vulnerable, because awareness often brings memory: how much adapting once made connection possible, and how much energy that required.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the Reclamation stage of the Identity-Level Recalibration process as it unfolds inside marriage and close partnership. This is not about fixing communication, having the “right” conversation, or making a decision. It's about understanding why clarity returns when pressure drops—and why knowing what you feel again doesn't mean you're pulling away.Drawing from psychology, nervous system science, and identity development, Julie explains how internal authority comes back online when the body shifts from constant emotional management into felt safety. When the nervous system moves out of vigilance, truth becomes accessible again—without urgency or justification.This episode gently addresses the quiet questions many listeners carry:What if I'm changing and my partner isn't here yet?Why does awareness feel tender instead of triumphant?Can I trust clarity if it feels ordinary?This is not mindset work or productivity advice. Identity-Level Recalibration is a root-level process that makes every other tool effective—because it begins with who you are, not what you do.Today's Micro RecalibrationNotice where in your relationship you feel a quiet sense of knowing—without needing to explain or act on it.Let clarity exist without urgency.Knowing what you feel isn't a conclusion. It's orientation.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

What does it take to finally break free and begin the process of healing from trauma bonding to reclaim your power and truth? Guest Brooke Deanne, a Trauma Healing Mentor, Rapid Transformational Therapist, and Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner, joins us to share her raw and profound journey of overcoming religious cult indoctrination, a 17-year abusive marriage that perpetuated the pain of her past, and toxic relationships. Brooke, author of Shattered, Broken, and Beautiful: Losing my Religion and Finding Faith, and founder of the podcast Goddess Rising, discusses how her spiritual awakening was catalyzed by grief, her reliance on Shadow Work and holistic methods to uncover the root source of her pain, and her mission to empower women to restore their nervous systems and fully integrate mind, body, and spirit.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:The psychological impact of being raised in a religious cult and a narcissistic family dynamic, and how this environment creates a trauma bond with abusers.How an unexpected, profound grief event can act as a catalyst for a spiritual awakening and force a person to confront years of ignored pain and false beliefs.The significance of finding a partner who can provide a safe space and act as a mirror to reflect trauma-based reactions, enabling the beginning of deep internal healing work.Discovering the root cause of complex PTSD through the surfacing of a repressed memory, and the subsequent healing modalities used, including Shadow Work, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT/hypnosis), and psychedelic-assisted therapy.Why the nervous system keeps a “score” of trauma, and the holistic approach to retraining it to feel safe, release outdated patterns, and achieve mind-body-spirit integration.The belief that “pain is sacred” and serves as a necessary “fire” to sharpen a person, leading to growth, wisdom, and the ability to pass on generational wisdom instead of trauma.The mission to empower women to reject the “Damsel in Distress” narrative, take back their power from patriarchal messaging, and stop chasing love to finally “come home to themselves.”WATCH ON YOUTUBE: From Religious Cult Trauma to Radical Self-Reclamation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sudOhBApr8s&list=PL7judgDzhkAWmfyB5r5WgFD6ahombBvoh

Chris White, Executive Director of the San Joaquin River Water Authority Exchange Contractors, joins Darcy Villere in the studio and kicks off 2026 with A LOT of information.  There are changes on how the Central Valley Project and State Water Projects are operating and Chris does his best to break it down for Darcy refreshes his memory and making sense out of all the moving parts – water being just one of them. Get comfortable and listen closely because the Bureau of Reclamation released major changes to Central Valley Project (CVP) operations including the removal of the Fall X2 requirement (if you don't remember what that is, we had a whole episode called Call to Action Fall X2 and you can listen to that here) removal of the early Delta export-reduction (just reading that clears up any confusion, right?) and last and in no way least is a revision of the Old & Middle River flow criteria and Stormflex operations. Chris gives his perspective on the impact of these changes, and whether these federal changes impact the state operations.  If you drink water, use it to bathe, cook, or grow food, you don't want to miss this episode!Send us a textWe Grow California Podcast is paid for by the Exchange Contractors Federal PAC and Exchange Contractors State PAC and is not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.

Reports of ICE agents and unmarked vehicles have been spreading across social media in recent weeks, but the Fresno PD Chief, Minday Casto is reminding the public that its officers “also operate a variety of unmarked vehicles.” The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation issued a document called a “record of decision” for the proposed 13-mile-long reservoir, signing off on its environmental review process and clearing a significant regulatory hurdle.

Political Undesirables: Citizenship, Denaturalization, and Reclamation in Iraq (Stanford UP, 2025) considers the legal making and unmaking of citizenship in Iraq, focusing on the mass denaturalization and deportation of Iraqi Jews in 1950–51 and Iraqis of Iranian origin in the early 1980s. Since the formation of the modern state of Iraq under British rule in 1921, practices of denaturalization and expulsion of citizens have been mobilized by ruling elites to curb political opposition. Iraqi politicians, under both monarchical and republican rule, routinely employed the rhetoric of threats to national security, treason, and foreignness to uproot citizens they deemed politically undesirable. Using archival documents, ethnographic research, and literary and autobiographical works, Zainab Saleh shows how citizenship laws can serve as a mechanism to discipline the population. As she argues, these laws enforce commitment to the state's political order and normative values, and eliminate dissenting citizens through charges of betrayal of the homeland. Citizenship in Iraq, thus, has functioned as a privilege closely linked to loyalty to the state, rather than as a right enjoyed unconditionally. With the rise of nativism, right-wing nationalism, and authoritarianism all over the world, this book offers a timely examination of how citizenship can become a tool to silence opposition and produce precarity through denaturalization. Zainab Saleh is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Haverford College. She is the author of Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia (Stanford, 2020).

The Wild & Waking Journey: Unraveling marks the beginning of a four-part solo series exploring the Wild & Waking Framework — a cyclical, soul-deep map for personal growth, identity evolution, and embodied leadership. Unlike linear self-help models or rigid step-by-step systems, the Wild & Waking journey is a living spiral. It's a rhythm you move through again and again, learning to recognize where you are right now and honor that place as sacred. Across this series, Emily guides you through the four phases of this framework — The Unraveling, The Remembering, The Reclamation, and The Rise — offering language, reflection, and deep context for the kind of transformation that can't be rushed or forced.This first episode dives into The Unraveling, the phase that begins when the life you built no longer feels like yours. It's the moment something feels off, but you can't quite name it — when the roles, identities, beliefs, and systems that once felt safe start to feel constricting instead. The Unraveling carries the energy of fire: burning away what no longer fits, dismantling old stories, and creating space for deeper truth to emerge. This phase isn't about fixing yourself or finding answers — it's about naming what's real, even when it's uncomfortable.You'll also hear why The Unraveling isn't a sign of failure, but the beginning of freedom — and why so many people avoid this phase altogether. Emily speaks to the relief and fear that arise when the mask starts to fall away, the loneliness of questioning beliefs that once provided belonging or certainty, and the importance of being held in this phase without being rushed toward clarity, certainty, or resolution. This conversation is for anyone who's tired of pretending they're “fine,” who feels split between who they are and who they've been conditioned to be, or who senses that something truer is trying to emerge beneath the surface.In this episode, I explore:How The Unraveling shows up as the moment when the life you built no longer feels like yoursWhy unraveling carries fire energy — burning away roles, identities, and systems that once kept you safe but now keep you smallCommon signs you're in an unraveling phase, including burnout, disillusionment, identity fatigue, and feeling “off” without clear answersHow survival patterns like overachieving, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and good-girl conditioning develop — and why they begin to crack hereThe relief and fear that come when the mask starts to fall offWhy unraveling isn't failure — it's the beginning of liberationHow grief, rage, exhaustion, and disillusionment function as messengers, not problems to solveWhat it looks like to question inherited beliefs around success, belonging, worth, religion, politics, culture, and identityWhy so many women feel isolated during this phase — especially in small towns or tight-knit communitiesHow to hold yourself (and others) in The Unraveling without rushing toward clarity or answersThe guiding questions that...

High performers in burnout recovery often expect clarity to come through effort. In this episode, Julie Holly explores why clarity returns naturally when pressure lifts—and how Identity-Level Recalibration helps you reclaim yourself without striving.Many high-capacity humans expect clarity to come from effort—more thinking, more fixing, more discipline. But during burnout recovery, clarity often returns a different way: quietly, when pressure lifts.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly walks listeners through the Reclamation stage of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—the moment when your nervous system begins reorganizing and self-trust starts to return without force.This isn't a breakthrough fueled by adrenaline. It's what happens when identity stops being overridden by performance pressure.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why clarity doesn't always arrive as insight, but often as relief, steadiness, or familiarityHow confusion is usually a sign of system overload, not lack of intelligence or disciplineWhat's actually happening in your nervous system when pressure lifts and safety returnsWhy nothing new needs to be added for clarity to return—what's happening is subtractionHow Reclamation restores access to discernment, creativity, and decision-making without effortWhy returning to yourself feels calm instead of dramatic—and why that's a sign of alignmentWhat You'll Gain:Relief from the belief that clarity requires strivingLanguage to understand burnout recovery without self-judgmentPermission to trust steadiness instead of chasing intensityA felt sense of identity returning beneath role confusion and success fatigueJulie also clarifies how Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) differs from mindset work or productivity tools. This is not another tactic layered on top of exhaustion. ILR is the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again—because when identity is aligned, behavior reorganizes naturally.Today's Micro RecalibrationComplete this sentence without overthinking it:“What feels like me again is…”No performing.

Jackie's life and work are rooted in the profound belief that every individual deserves a "brave space" to show up authentically, fully, and without judgment. As the Executive Director of a Hospice Home and the founder of Lega-C Healing by Jackie, she dedicates her days to guiding others through life's most delicate transitions with grace, intuition, and deep compassion. Her professional path is inextricably linked to her extraordinary personal journey. A survivor of orphan trafficking from the Dominican Republic under the guise of international adoption, Jackie was brought to the United States as a child, after the death of her mother, separated from her twin and everything she knew. She spent years navigating the complexities of identity and belonging, a quest that eventually led to a series of powerful reunions: first with her U.S.-based siblings at age nineteen, and later with her twin, her biological father, and her remaining siblings at thirty-two. These experiences of loss and reclamation shaped her into a gifted Community Builder, Death Doula, and intuitive healer. Jackie understands the weight of being "un-homed" and has turned that history into a sanctuary for others, helping them find peace and presence even in the face of the unknown. Beyond her clinical and spiritual leadership, Jackie is a mother of three, a wife, and a dedicated artist. She finds her own healing and inspiration in nature, whether she is exploring the outdoors or translating the beauty of the world into her creative work. Her life is a living testament to the power of resilience and the enduring legacy of healing.

High performers often struggle with role confusion after burnout or transition. This episode explores identity beyond titles, why grief is a normal part of growth, and how to let a meaningful chapter complete without losing yourself.For many high-capacity humans, the hardest question doesn't appear during crisis — it surfaces during transition.When the pressure eases.When the role loosens.When the title no longer defines the day.Who am I without the role that built my life?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the quiet, often unspoken grief that emerges when identity is no longer fused to function. This is not an identity crisis — it's identity maturation.High performers navigating burnout recovery, decision fatigue, role confusion, success without fulfillment, identity drift, and spiritual exhaustion often feel caught off guard by this tenderness. After all, growth was chosen. Alignment is present. So why does something ache?Julie names what most don't: identity grief is normal. Grief doesn't only appear when something is taken — it also arises when something meaningful is complete.Through the Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) pathway, this episode explores the movement from reclamation into integration. Reclamation is the season of disentangling identity from survival roles. Integration is where those roles are honored, released, and allowed to complete with dignity.ILR is not another mindset tactic or performance strategy. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. By beginning with identity — not behavior — ILR helps high-capacity humans stop proving their worth through roles and start living from a stable, integrated sense of self.Nothing was wasted.Nothing needs to be undone.You're not erasing who you were — you're letting a chapter close.And completion, real completion, is one of the most adult forms of growth there is.Today's Micro RecalibrationPause and ask yourself — gently, without rushing:What role am I allowing to complete without immediately replacing it?You're not defining what's next.You're honoring what's been.That's integration.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

This episode offers a critical, historically grounded examination of Aphrodite as a trans-cultural religious phenomenon rather than a stable mythological figure. It traces the goddess's development from Near Eastern traditions associated with Astarte, Ishtar, and Inanna through her incorporation into Greek religion, where tensions between her martial, erotic, civic, and cosmic dimensions produced multiple and often contradictory forms of worship. The discussion then follows her Roman reconfiguration as Venus, focusing on the political and ideological implications of her role as divine ancestress and guarantor of imperial order.Combining literary sources, archaeological evidence, cult practice, and ritual calendars, the lecture analyses how Aphrodite functioned within ancient economies of desire, gender, power, and civic cohesion, as well as how regional cults negotiated her ambivalent capacity to generate both harmony and destruction. The final section examines modern resurrections of Aphrodite in Neopaganism, feminist spirituality, Hellenic reconstructionism, and Western esotericism, assessing how contemporary movements selectively reinterpret ancient materials.CONNECT & SUPPORT

The room full of people leaves you depleted. You absorb your Reiki clients' energy. And somewhere along the way, you learned to abandon yourself in service to others.But what if 2026 could be different?In this intimate conversation, I explore the two core traps that keep empaths (Reiki trained or not) feeling trapped - and reveals the perspective shifts that reclaim your gift as medicine, not burden.You'll discover how to feel without absorbing. How to feel without taking on. How to perceive without absorbing. How to serve without abandoning yourself. How to distinguish between authentically emerging guidance and the blocks that have kept you tangled in other people's energy, potentially year after year.This is for the highly sensitive, intuitive, empathic person ready to stop sacrificing and start thriving.By the end of this episode you'll discover:Why your sensitivity isn't a flaw from a place of empowerment - Understand the fundamental difference between absorbing others' energy and perceiving it -and how this one shift changes everything about how you move through the world.The specific bind that traps Reiki practitioners (and how to break free from it) - Learn why mainstream Reiki training can actually reinforce energetic depletion - and discover how to practice as a grounded, boundaried healer without abandoning the depth of your gift.What "empowered sensitivity" actually looks like in real life - Move beyond abstract spiritual concepts to concrete possibilities: finishing client sessions energised instead of drained, leaving rooms feeling alive instead of flattened, saying no without guilt, creating rhythms that work for you.How to reclaim your medicine - the vibrant personal energy that's uniquely yours - Recognise that protecting your energy and honoring your sensitivity aren't opposing forces - they're the same act of sovereignty, and it's the foundation for authentic healing work.The permission you've been waiting for to practice and live as yourself - Discover that there's no "should" in spiritual practice - just what's authentically emerging for you, what's aligned with the truth of who you are, and what's derailment from your path.Be an Empowered Empath 1-1 coaching day: https://www.reikiredefined.com/empowered-empath/Spirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/Free workshop: https://www.reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reiki/Free Community: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/You'll find me most on Tiktok @reikiredefined & Instagram.

A few years back, I adopted a new tradition. Instead of making a resolution, I set an intention for the year by choosing one word that encompasses what I wanted to create more of. This instantly made me feel like the CEO of my life. I set the direction and made aligned decisions that fit my dreams. In 2023, my word was GLOBAL and in 2025, it was RECEIVE. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my life and leadership to share how my year unfolded. Ready to choose your word for the year? Join the community workshop on December 30th here. Curious about Leadership Circle? Set up a chemistry call here to learn more about the program and if it's a fit for you. Enrollment is open now.

As the year winds down, so many of us want to throw out the whole year - wipe it away, pretend parts of it didn't happen, or rush ahead into the next chapter without actually receiving the gifts this one offered.But 2025 was a year that shaped you, stretched you and grew you. It held moments you navigated with courage you didn't even know you had. And before you run into the new year, you deserve a moment to honor yourself for all of it.In this episode, Kate guides you through a loving, grounded way to close out the year - without self-judgment, without bypassing, and without pretending the hard parts didn't happen. This is about integration, celebration, and moving into the new year with so much love and intention.You'll explore:Why we're so quick to “throw out” an entire year instead of learning from it A process for reflecting on the true gifts of the yearHow to see your challenges as evidence of your growthA practice to let go of what you don't want to carry into 2026How to step into 2026 with intention and sovereigntyIf you want to wrap up this year in the most honest, loving, heroine-powered way, this episode is your invitation to show up for yourself and honour the woman you've become.Join Kate in The Reclamation 90 Online Program - January - March, 2026https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/the-reclamationAbout the Host:Kate Harlow is the founder of The Unscriptd Woman, the creator of The Expanded Love Coaching Method, and host of The New Truth podcast - ranked in the top 1.5% globally.

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: Raytheon, ritual abuse, MK ULTRA mind control, and Secret Space Program survivor, whistleblower and overcomer, targeted individual, loving mother, nature lover, former Maine journalist and reporter, published writer and author, podcaster and podcast host of her own YouTube channel, flower essence and herbal extraordinaire, remote viewer, psychic and shaman, Family Court reform activist, and an amazing woman risking it all to blind the darkness with her light: Jane HatchRaised in a family of stark contrasts, Jane grew up in Hanover, Massachusetts, immersed in Christian Science teachings that proclaimed God as pure love, denying the existence of evil. Yet, evil lurked. At age four, or possibly younger, Jane's abductions began. White vans prowled the South Shore, snatching gifted children under guises like Boston Pops field trips. Jane vanished from school, entire years erased, classmates recalling her presence for mere days. Physically hauled or drugged in the back, she endured Raytheon's subterranean layers beneath Needham's pristine suburbs.At 16, Jane fled to Maine, but the aftereffects intensified. A targeted individual since youth, she endured directed energy weapons, satellites, voice-to-skull technology, gangstalking, curses, demons, poisonings, accidents, homelessness, and poverty. As a whistleblower exposing Bath Iron Works' corruption—environmental pollution, faulty ship parts, and ties to nuclear arming—she was blacklisted from her journalism career. Then, corrupt family courts tried her as a witch for prophetic dreams and her exposés, seizing her three beautiful and precious daughters, handing them to a psychopathic stepmother likely subjecting them to the same abuses Jane fought to shield them from.In her incredible healing journey, Jane transformed exploitation into empowerment, using remote viewing to uncover past traumas and shamanism to depossess entities, cut cords, and restore wholeness - not just for herself, but for others. And this is what we will be mainly discussing today - Jane's journey through healing and all the ways she has reclaimed her gifts to help others and how she is using her gifts to expose and defeat the same evil that tried to exploit her gifts. We will hear how she combats being a targeted individual. And we will rejoice the power of a mothers love as we hear more about Jane's reunion with her daughters and the unshakable and unbreakable bond that they now share. And that is just a taste of today's episode.  CONNECT WITH JANE:-For consultations, to set up an appointment, or to purchase a book people can text Jane at 774-212-2768 or email lovenewearth@tutanota.com or redfoxruns1@gmail.com-Donate to Jane: Zelle at 774-212-2769-YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JaneCeliaHatch/videos-Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/JaneCeliaHatch/videos-Websites: https://bethesdastar.com/about-me/ & https://www.radiantearthmother.com/CONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thSupport the show

The discussion delves into the complex historical eras of Iraq, challenging binary understandings of its past and present. A professor at Haverford College and author of "Political Undesirables: Citizen Denaturalization and Reclamation in Iraq and Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia", Zainab Saleh discusses how the Iraq she grew up in—during the Ba'ath Party reign and under Saddam Hussein—was a time of fear and repression, despite the earlier period of high hopes and political aspirations in the 1940s and 1950s. She explores the concept of nostalgia for the Saddam era, which exists even among those who suffered under the regime, because of the basic services that were provided. The conversation offers a nuanced timeline of modern Iraqi history, from World War I's role in creating Middle Eastern nation-states through the Ottoman and British rules, the monarchy, and the Ba'ath Party. A key focus is placed on the 1990s as a major turning point, with the 1991 bombardment and subsequent sanctions leading to the rapid deterioration of infrastructure, increased social problems like begging and corruption, and environmental collapse. We consider the argument that the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the US invasion should be viewed as one long, continuous war. Saleh critiques the simplistic narrative that Americans brought to Iraq after 2003, arguing that it institutionalized a sectarian political system. She emphasizes that the American discourse—classifying Sunnis as loyalists and Shia or Kurds as oppressed—ignored the reality of mixed communities and complex political loyalties. Saleh explores the historical use of denaturalization in Iraq, a topic central to her latest book. She details how the British and subsequent Iraqi regimes used the pretext of "political undesirables" to strip citizens of their rights, citing examples such as Iraqi Jews in the 1950s and Iraqis of Iranian origin in the 1980s. 0:00 Introduction 1:50 When Did The Iraq You Grew Up In Start?2:54 The High Hopes of the 1940s and 1950s3:33 Nostalgia, Time, and Loss7:09 The Broad Phases of Iraqi History9:33 Cultural Renaissance Under the Monarchy10:00 Vibrant Leftist Politics in the Monarchy Era11:39 Nostalgia for the Monarchy13:00 The Largest Effect on Daily Life: 1991 Bombardment and Sanctions16:29 Connecting the Wars: One Long War17:59 The Lead-up to Saddam's Invasion of Kuwait19:33 The Vision of the Neoconservatives20:40 Misunderstandings about US Imperialism22:11 The Myth of Iraqi Sectarianism23:24 The Institutionalization of a Sectarian System25:27 The Role of the Iraqi Opposition Abroad28:29 Phases of Post-2003 Iraq29:12 The Civil War and Proxy War (2006-2008)30:20 Displacement and the Reorganization of Iraqi Society30:52 Social Mobilization: 2011 and the Tishreen Uprising (2019)31:24 The Catastrophe of ISIS34:29 The Problem with Nostalgic Photos40:14 When One Dictator Becomes a Source of Nostalgia41:16 The Book: Political Undesirables and Denaturalization41:59 The Deportation of Iraqis of Iranian Origin (1980)44:48 Denaturalization as a Systemic Pattern48:19 Issuing Passports After World War I51:00 The Expulsion of Iraqi Jews (1950)51:25 Iraqi Jews as an Integral Part of Society52:44 The Ancient History of Babylonian Jews55:20 The Basis for Expulsion58:19 Recommended Readings on Iraqi History Zainab Saleh is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Haverford College and the author of books "Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia" (2020) and "Political Undesirables: Citizenship, Denaturalization, and Reclamation in Iraq" (2025).Connect with Zainab Saleh

Sox fans! Welcome to the start of the 8th season of Good Guys Talk Back. Winter Meetings are on deck. Will Luis Robert Jr. make it through the off-season?

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on Thursday announced a new plan for operating the Central Valley Project, a vast system of pumps, dams, and canals that direct water southward from the state’s wetter north. It follows an executive order President Donald Trump signed in January calling for more water to flow to farmers, arguing the state was wasting the precious resource in the name of protecting endangered fish species. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said the plan will help the federal government “strengthen California’s water resilience.” It takes effect Friday. But California officials and environmental groups blasted the move, saying sending significantly more water to farmlands could threaten water delivery to the rest of the state and would harm salmon and other fish. Most of the state’s water is in the north, but most of its people are in the south.

Representative Nick Begich (AK-At Large) introduced House Joint Resolution 131, stripping Biden-era restrictions on oil and gas exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Rep. Begich’s resolution has passed the House of Representatives and the Senate and is headed to President Trump’s desk for signature. Alaska's congressional delegation on Thursday succeeded in stripping Biden-era protections from the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, moving to expand opportunities for drilling there. The U.S. Senate voted to eliminate the 2024 leasing program for the refuge that put much of the refuge's 1.6-million-acre coastal plain off-limits to potential drilling.  The vote does a lot more than just open the door for potential oil and gas activity.  This is another step in unlocking America’s treasure chest. The areas in question in ANWR are estimated to hold 7.7 billion barrels of oil recoverable with current technology, and the U.S. Geological Survey has estimated that there may be hundreds of millions of barrels in other areas to the west of the ANWR sites.

The Act applies to unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials that relate to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Consequently, the later-enacted and specific language of the Act trumps Rule 6's prohibition on disclosure. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that United States' Expedited Motion to Unseal Grand Jury Transcripts and Modify Protective Order [DE 6] is GRANTED,” the judge wrote.

All efforts to control traditional and social media are efforts to control information. The specifics of the reasoning for the fine are typically European.  (1) Twitter allows ordinary people to deliver information at the same level as people who should be defined as more important.  (2)  Advertisers of those who pay for promotion of information on X are not easily identifiable – people need to figure it out on their own.  (3)  It is too difficult to figure out who is providing the information. Basically, all of the EU concerns center around information control.  It's really an ideology issue.  In the outlook of the EU, bureaucrats and elites feel they are superior and must rule/protect the people under them.  Ordinary people having access to information that may or may not be approved by the EU is the underlying issue.

Campo and Sensi agreed to launder $12 million and participate in narcotics trafficking for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, a/k/a Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion or CJNG. Per the Department of Justice: As part of the scheme, CAMPO and SENSI agreed to launder approximately $12,000,000 of CJNG narcotics proceeds; laundered approximately $750,000 by converting cash into cryptocurrency; and provided a payment for approximately 220 kilograms of cocaine on the understanding that the payment would trigger the distribution and sale of the narcotics worth approximately $5,000,000, for which CAMPO and SENSI would (i) receive directly a portion of the narcotics proceeds as profit; and (ii) receive a further commission upon the laundering of the balance of the narcotics proceeds.

During his appearance on Friday on the Sirius XM The Megyn Kelly Show podcast, Kelly started out by asking Patel if they believe they have the “proper suspect in custody” — if Tyler Robinson is “in fact, the man who killed Kirk.” Patel didn’t hesitate in the slightest and answered, “Yes.” The host then brought up one of the wild accusations that have been made by Owens, which includes claiming that Kirk’s own friends and his organization allegedly knew and approved of his murder. Insane. “Do you have any credible reason to believe that anyone connected with the Turning Point organization had anything to do with Charlie’s death?” Kelly asked. Patel’s response: “Zero.” He was then pressed about other claims that Owens has made about the alleged involvement of foreign governments in Kirk’s assassination, like French paratroopers, Egyptian Air Force planes flying out of Provo, Utah, and “potential underground assassins traveling through unseen tunnels,” as the producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, Blake Neff, previously explained. “At this time, the FBI doesn’t have credible information to connect any foreign governments to it,” Patel said. The FBI director made it clear that the investigation is continuing and they are looking into everything, no matter how small. “We are not done just because we arrest someone, just like in the pipe bomber case,” Patel said. “We don’t just say, Okay, we’re done, on to the next. The investigative team continues to work with the Utah authorities, and they’re deriving their own leads and coming back to us saying, ‘Hey, can you look at this piece of information? Can we get a search warrant on this account? What about this individual who is located in X, Y, or Z?'” Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/amuse/status/1996873942406164855?s=20 https://twitter.com/JesseBWatters/status/1997120806212546797?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1997120806212546797%7Ctwgr%5Ed963eef05511b000b3f2631742a9c8e0f0d3c2a2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbobhoge%2F2025%2F12%2F05%2Fdc-pipe-bomb-suspect-i-did-it-n2196869  AUTISTIC-LIKE”   SO Why didn't BIDEN'S FBI REALLY catch THIS GUY MS NOW reported that Brian Cole is a Trump supporter. https://twitter.com/DC_Draino/status/1996990984584933729?s=20 January 6 Pipe Bomb Suspect Brian Cole is NOT a Trump Supporter – Family Says He is an “Autistic Recluse” Who Lived in a Basement  January 6 pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole is not a Trump supporter like the legacy media has claimed.

Bondi's order is part of a broader counterterrorism plan after President Donald Trump's directives targeting the Antifa movement and organized political violence, Reuters and Bloomberg Law reported, citing a Thursday memo from Bondi. The FBI must provide within 30 days a list of groups “engaged in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism” along with strategies to disrupt them, with an emphasis on left-wing extremists, the memo reportedly says.  Bondi's memo directs law enforcement agencies to unearth whatever intelligence files they have on Antifa groups for investigators and to investigate unsolved domestic terrorism incidents over the past five years, Reuters and Bloomberg Law reported. The incidents may include the “doxxing” of law enforcement officers' personal information and threats against Supreme Court justices. The FBI must also streamline its tip line to allow members of the public to “send media” on suspected domestic terrorism, the memo says, according to Reuters.

The intent seems to be a return to the Monroe Doctrine by increasing the United States military presence in the Western Hemisphere, taking on the drug cartels, enhancing border security, making trade deals that are better for the United States, and enhancing American energy production. That’s not the worst high-level take on the NSS, but a look at the actual document is illustrative. The NSS states as its purpose: To ensure that America remains the world's strongest, richest, most powerful, and most successful country for decades to come, our country needs a coherent, focused strategy for how we interact with the world. And to get that right, all Americans need to know what, exactly, it is we are trying to do and why. A “strategy” is a concrete, realistic plan that explains the essential connection between ends and means: it begins from an accurate assessment of what is desired and what tools are available, or can realistically be created, to achieve the desired outcomes. A strategy must evaluate, sort, and prioritize. Not every country, region, issue, or cause—however worthy—can be the focus of American strategy. The purpose of  foreign policy is the protection of core national interests; that is the sole focus of this strategy. One of the more interesting (but not surprising) pieces of this NSS is the overt and robust return to the Monroe Doctrine, an early 19th-century policy intended to restrict further European colonization of the Western Hemisphere and to ensure American dominance in that region. The modern take on this doctrine by the Trump administration uses American power by employing both internal and external security measures. The NSS states: American policy should focus on enlisting regional champions that can help create tolerable stability in the region, even beyond those partners' borders. These nations would help us stop illegal and destabilizing migration, neutralize cartels, nearshore manufacturing, and develop local private economies, among other things. We will reward and encourage the region's governments, political parties, and movements broadly aligned with our principles and strategy. But we must not overlook governments with different outlooks with whom we nonetheless share interests and who want to work with us. Source: redstate.com The Monroe Doctrine is a foundational principle of United States foreign policy, first articulated by President James Monroe in his annual message to Congress on December 2, 1823.   It declared that the Western Hemisphere was no longer open to European colonization or interference, while affirming that the U.S. would not meddle in existing European colonies or internal affairs.   Essentially, it warned European powers—particularly those in the Holy Alliance (Russia, Austria, and Prussia)—against attempting to extend their influence or establish new colonies in the Americas, positioning the U.S. as a protector of independent nations in the region The doctrine emerged amid concerns over European monarchies potentially aiding Spain in reconquering its former Latin American colonies, which had recently gained independence. It was largely drafted by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and reflected growing American confidence following the War of 1812.  At the time, the U.S. lacked the military power to enforce it fully, so it relied on British naval support, as Britain also opposed European rivals in the Americas for trade reasons.Key excerpts from Monroe’s address include: The American continents “are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers.” Any attempt by Europe to extend its political system to the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as “dangerous to our peace and safety.”   Significance and EvolutionInitially more symbolic than enforceable, the Monroe Doctrine evolved into a justification for U.S. intervention in Latin America during the 19th and 20th centuries. For instance: In the mid-1800s, it intertwined with Manifest Destiny to support U.S. territorial expansion, such as during the Mexican-American War.  President Theodore Roosevelt’s 1904 “Corollary” expanded it to allow U.S. intervention in Latin American countries to prevent European involvement, leading to actions like the occupation of Cuba and the Dominican Republic. It influenced Cold War policies, framing U.S. opposition to communism in the hemisphere as a defense against external threats. Critics, especially in Latin America, have viewed it as a tool for U.S. imperialism, enabling dominance over sovereign nations. Though less invoked today, it remains a symbol of U.S. hemispheric influence and anti-colonial rhetoric. facebook.com https://twitter.com/onechancefreedm/status/1996970776373735933?s=20 https://twitter.com/JoeLang51440671/status/1996992569746567173?s=20   other hand, I can see how we help real allies with aid when needed, as long as we get something of economic value in return.

Republican leadership planned Thursday to kick-off the procedural process to confirm 88 of President Donald Trump's nominees in a bloc vote, but were initially thwarted by Democratic Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, who challenged the package for violating Senate rules. When Republicans refiled the package later on Thursday, the conference included an additional nine nominees, bringing the total to nearly 100.  The Senate has confirmed 314 civilian nominees as of Thursday evening, according to a tally by the Senate Republican Communications Center. The 97-member bloc would bring the Senate to more than 410 civilian confirmations in the first year of Trump's second term. “That far outstrips total confirmations by this point in President Biden's term, and in President Trump's first term as well,” Thune said Thursday. Thune also said that Senate Republicans have virtually cleared the nominations backlog. Before Republicans changed Senate precedent to allow for certain nominees to be confirmed in groups, more than 150 of the president's picks were awaiting floor consideration. The Senate approved a 48-member nominations package in September and an additional 108 of the president's picks in a single group vote in October.

Caves of Qud is a massive open-world roguelike RPG that has been in development since 2007 and Early Access since 2015, and we give it an appropriately epic sendoff with nearly four hours of deep discussion. Doug and Rob, joined by special guest host Star St. Germain, dive into the game's finale and overarching themes with narrative designer Caelyn Sandel and co-creators Jason Grinblat and Brian Bucklew. Be warned, major spoilers await: We discuss the aftermath of the Tomb of the Eaters, the Moon Stair, the [Redacted], Reclamation, We Are [Redacted], plus other juicy details about how this legendary game finally came to an end… and what's in store for it next.

You probably never think about what happens when you flush the toilet, but a team of dedicated staff at the Clark County Water Reclamation District (CCWRD) make it their business to ensure our wastewater is treated and returned to Lake Mead. Southern Nevada recycles 100 percent of the water that goes down the drain or toilet. For every gallon of water returned to the lake, Southern Nevada can withdraw another gallon, helping stretch our limited water supply. CCWRD's Bud Cranor talks about the CCWRD's important-albeit smelly-job of ensuring they squeeze and clean every drop of water they collect from the valley's sanitary sewer on the Water Smarts Podcast, “SUSTAINABLE WATER RECYCLING: Don't be a Pain in the Drain.”Hosts: Bronson Mack and Crystal Zuelkehttps://www.snwa.com/https://www.snwa.com/

This is not your average sexual empowerment story. In this deeply personal episode, I share the unexpected journey of injuring myself during a self-pleasure practice, being diagnosed with Mycoplasma, and the spiral of shame and fear that followed as well as the hormonal dysregulation this pointed to. This is a story about arousal literacy. The all too familiar experience you have when your body says “yes” whilst your nervous system screams “not yet.” It's about reclaiming sovereignty when the very thing that once gave you life, your turn-on, feels like a betrayal. You'll hear me reflect on: - The difference between regulated vs. dysregulated arousal - How pelvic tension, unprocessed grief, and overfunctioning play into sexual shutdown - The relationship between nervous system healing and cervical awakening - And the unexpected medicine of sexual rupture as a rite of passage This episode is part erotic memoir, part nervous system teaching, part spiritual transmission, and it's a real-time unfolding of what it means to fuck yourself back to life... not in a performative way, but through profound honesty and repair. If you've ever felt confused by your body, terrified by your turn-on, or ashamed by your symptoms, this is for you. 00:00 Intro 04:40 The Erotic Spark & Dysrelugated Arousal 11:58 Introducing (Phases 1 & 2) of the 3-phase Path to Orgasmic Sovereignty 22:27 Ancestral Integration + Real-time Alchemy 32:46 Introudcing the Mycoplasma STI + Regulated vs. Dysregulated Arousal 51:06 Female vs. Male Libido + Cyclical Arousal 60:00 Erotic Sovereignty + Holistic Dive into Erotic Self-Repair +Mycoplasma 67:38 Integration & Reclamation

I've always emphasized the beauty and sustainability of small daily habits for self-improvement. But occasionally, our self-care journey demands a more significant leap to reboot our personal development. On this episode I shared how my recent solo trip to London was a radical act of self-care for me. It's essential to recognize that personal growth and development sometimes require us to stretch beyond our comfort zones, reminding ourselves of our own self-worth and the importance of self-care. These experiences, whether starting daily habits or planning an adventure abroad, define how to stop being a perfectionist and enrich our journeys toward how to feel happy. So, my call to you is straightforward: consider your own big step in self-care—it's time to reclaim, reconnect, and embrace your true self.

In the email exchange leading up to our conversation, my guest Kristina Marie wrote "The Hero is Dead."That sentence stopped me in my tracks. It's a suspicion I've had for a while, but maybe there's still a part of me that doesn't want it to be true. "What do you mean? But I love my hero's journey stories!" that part protested.In the episode, Kristina and I dove straight into this topic. We discussed: The new myths we're living, telling, and weaving in the face of crumbling structures and collapsing old paradigmsThe difference between the mystic's journey and the hero or heroine's journeyWhat a transformational story isThe journey of becoming the person who can tell our own stories as its own unique processIt's a profound conversation and my mind was blown with epiphany after epiphany throughout.Here's Kristina's bio:For more than a decade, I worked as a journalist and an editor at top national magazines, including Travel + Leisure and T magazine at the New York Times. Since launching Voyages of the Spirit nine years ago, I've combined my publishing skills, intuitive gifts, and creative wisdom to mentor writers, leaders, visionaries, mystics, and storytellers. I guide my clients in structuring their transformational stories and birthing their books, awakening their creative genius, discovering their personal mythology, and building an ecosystem for their life's work.Join Kristina's group program Story Map.Visit Kristina's website and follow her on Instagram.
