What does it mean to reclaim the parts of yourself that trauma, shame, and pain taught you to hide?In Part 1 of this two-part conversation on Reclamation, Steve and Colleen explore how Jesus restores what was lost through wounds, false beliefs, and spiritual fragmentation. Colleen shares deeply from her own story of abuse, abandonment, healing, and the reclaiming of the true self through Christ.This is a conversation about more than pain from the past. It's about the renewing work of God in the present—and the hope of restoration for the future.Chapters:00:00 Trauma, the true self, and the cost to our relationship with God00:44 Welcome + introducing the Reclamation series (Embracing the Way)01:59 War, current events, and the unseen reality of spiritual warfare03:18 Defining reclamation: reclaiming what was lost in God, self, others, purpose04:29 Reclaiming the Imago Dei + Joel 2:25 (“years the locusts have eaten”)08:28 “Altar moments” + how healing unfolds over time10:13 Fragmentation and “orphan parts” (IFS) through a Christ-centered lens13:02 Colleen's story: abuse, walls, and rejecting the vulnerable self18:32 The “bitter root” memory + Jesus brings integration and healing26:02 Why we don't ignore the past: healing wounds without living stuck there

This episode marks the powerful finale of the four-part Wild & Waking Journey series — and we are closing with the phase that changes everything: The RiseThroughout this identity evolution series, we've walked through The Unraveling, The Remembering, and The Reclamation; the sacred undoing, the return to intuition, the courageous choosing. Now, in this final installment, Emily brings language to what happens next. The Rise is not a finish line or a glow-up. It's embodied leadership. It's self-trust in action. It's the moment your inner transformation begins to ripple outward into your voice, your relationships, your work, your motherhood, your community, and your legacy.If you've been navigating identity deconstruction, spiritual awakening, authentic self-expression, or stepping into greater visibility without self-abandonment, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. The Wild & Waking Framework is cyclical, not linear. You may be rising in one area while unraveling in another, and that is not failure. That is growth.This is the inhale and exhale of a woman who knows who she is and is no longer afraid to let the world feel it.In this episode, I explore:What The Rise really means inside the Wild & Waking Framework — embodied leadership, authentic self-expression, and identity evolution in actionHow personal transformation becomes collective impact — and why women who have done deep identity work are being called forward right nowThe difference between performative visibility and grounded, aligned visibility rooted in self-trustHow to expand your voice, influence, and leadership without self-abandonment, people-pleasing, or chasing external validationChanneling anger, fire, and rage into intentional, focused change rather than chaos — leadership through regulated embodimentHow identity deconstruction, spiritual awakening, and self-trust create ripple effects in your family, business, rural community, and lineageThe role of women in social change, cultural shifts, and rebuilding systems from the inside outExpanding visibility while building the nervous system capacity to be seenPractical reflection questions to help you identify where life is asking you to rise right nowBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 152 | The Alchemy Behind Wild & Waking: a Year of Investment, Expansion, and ReclamationEpisode 183 | The Wild & Waking Journey: UnravelingEpisode 185 | The Wild & Waking Journey: RememberingEpisode 187 | The Wild & Waking Journey: ReclamationSign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn More

If you struggle to rest, you are not lazy. And you are not bad at slowing down.When your nervous system resists rest, it is often responding to something older than your calendar.Many driven, responsible adults live in low-grade urgency. Not because they love hustle, but because their body learned early that motion meant safety. Achievement meant connection. Stabilizing the room meant belonging.So when things get quiet, the body does not interpret that as peace. It interprets it as unfamiliar.This episode explores: • why high performers feel restless in stillness • how predictive processing reinforces familiar reward loops • why responsibility fuses with identity • how “being the steady one” becomes a nervous system strategy • the grief that surfaces when intensity becomes normalWe are not teaching neuroscience. We are illuminating lived experience.Your brain repeats what reduces uncertainty. If competence calmed tension, your system stored it. If achievement strengthened attachment, your system reinforced it.Over time, adrenaline can feel like clarity. Urgency can feel like maturity. Rest can feel exposed.This is not traditional burnout. It is identity drift layered with nervous system conditioning.Identity-Level Recalibration is not another productivity tactic. It is root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective. We begin with the who, not the how. Identity precedes behavior.Reclamation does not mean becoming less driven. It means separating commitment from consumption.You can remain sharp without staying strung tight.You can lead without living in low-grade adrenaline.You can care deeply without being consumed.Identity safety feels like breath. Not adrenaline.Like silence that does not accuse you.Like performance flowing from steadiness instead of panic.This is orientation before resolution.Recognition before force.Companionship instead of correction.Today's Micro Recalibration:When rest feels uncomfortable, place a hand on your chest and quietly say, “My body learned that motion meant safety. It is okay that this feels unfamiliar.” Then take one slower breath than usual.Not to fix anything.Just to introduce your system to a new option.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration → Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you → Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

There's a ton of stuff to be excited about in miniatures right now but my number one upcoming release for 2026 has gotta be Oasis: Tactical Salvage Reclamation. I happened upon some teasers for this 6mm scifi game last month and was instantly hooked on the images of mixed forces of infantry, vehicles, and hovering spaceships duking it out over vital resources and alien tech. I'm an absolute sucker for tiny scale scifi so I knew I had to get the creators on here to tell me all about it! Oasis will debut at Adepticon 2026 (find them at booth #300) but creators were kind enough to give me some time to tell me all about Oasis' gameplay, lore, and the roadmap ahead as the game debuts at Adepticon before a summertime crowdfunder for their two-player starter set. In the meantime, join them on Discord to stay up to date on all things Oasis!brushwieldersunion.com

From working road construction in the Midwest to leading a nationally recognized advocacy organization, Ryan Sistad, Executive Director of Better In Our Backyards, has taken a path that is anything but typical. We explore how entrepreneurship, resilience, and an unwavering belief in responsible development transformed a small regional initiative into a multi-state platform amplifying the voice of mining and industrial projects across America. Ryan shares how he bet on himself, left corporate security, and built a brand during COVID by teaching himself design, digital outreach, and advocacy. We dive deep into permitting reform, rural vs. urban perspectives, refining bottlenecks, national security, critical minerals, and the power of storytelling in shaping public perception. Ryan shares lessons on partnership, collaboration over competition, and why mining's future depends on unified messaging and bold advocacy. Please help us welcome Ryan Sistad to the Face. A huge thank you to the American Exploration and Mining Association (AEMA) for welcoming Mining Minds to the event and for everything you do to support and amplify the voices across our mining industry.   Episode Sponsors: American Exploration and Mining Safety First Training and Consulting JSR Fleet Performance Motor Mission Machine and Radiator  PC Reps   Chapters:  04:02 Crop insurance, trucking, and union ties 12:17 The entrepreneur itch vs corporate grind 15:38 Minnesota NGOs vs mining: permitting and urban/rural divide 24:33 Checks, balances, and the cost of endless litigation (NEPA) 30:25 Reclamation stories that change minds + Minnesota mine examples 40:07 Mentors, career pivots, and the Tulsa data center money move 44:19 Early Better In Our Backyard: Young Pros, Branding, and Finding a Lane 47:15 From 5 Members to 50: Social Media Value-First Growth Strategy 52:20 Funding Reality Check: Sponsorships, Value, and Playing the Long Game 01:04:28 Partnering with Associations & Connecting Dots Across Projects 01:11:31 Favorite Projects + Boots-on-the-Ground Credibility

The Wild & Waking Journey: Reclamation is Part 3 of a four-part solo series exploring the Wild & Waking Framework—a cyclical, soul-deep map for identity evolution, embodied leadership, and aligned living. In this episode, Emily guides the listener into The Reclamation, the phase where everything begins to click. After Unraveling what no longer fits and Remembering your deeper truth, Reclamation is where you consciously choose to live differently, and begin embodying who you are becoming in real time.The Reclamation is the sacred middle. It is the integration phase where clarity turns into courage and insight becomes action. Like earth, this stage is about rooting and rising. What once felt abstract now becomes tangible: boundaries spoken aloud, standards set, decisions made from self-trust rather than urgency or survival. Emily explores how this phase shows up across identity, work, relationships, spirituality, values, and leadership, and why Reclamation isn't about throwing everything out, but intentionally choosing what truly fits and letting the rest fall away.In this episode, Emily shares real-life examples of Reclamation in motion, from redefining success and worth, to releasing people-pleasing, to setting unapologetic standards around time, energy, and capacity. She unpacks why integration has a “lag period,” why embodiment takes practice, and how identity is one reclaimed, aligned choice at a time. This phase is not loud or flashy; it's subtle, steady, and often uncomfortable, but it's where self-trust is built and freedom begins to take shape from the inside out.You'll also hear how Reclamation invites you to expand your capacity to be seen, heard, and held, especially when your choices disrupt expectations or disappoint others. Emily reflects on the courage it takes to lead from vision rather than validation, to trust yourself before external proof appears, and to stop managing other people's perceptions at the cost of self-abandonment. This is where identity stops being conceptual and starts becoming embodied.To close, Emily offers grounding reflection questions to support your own Reclamation—inviting you to name the boundaries that would most protect your energy, the truths that need your voice, and the small aligned experiments that will stretch your capacity. If you're in the phase of choosing differently, rebuilding your identity, and learning to walk as the woman you've remembered, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. Part 4 of the series, The Rise, continues next.In this episode, I explore:What The Reclamation phase of the Wild & Waking Framework really is — the sacred middle where identity integration beginsHow Reclamation follows Unraveling and Remembering, and why this is the phase where everything finally starts to clickWhy Reclamation isn't about burning everything down — but consciously choosing what fits and releasing what doesn'tThe role of grief, rage, and nuance in rebuilding identity after deconstruction or awakeningWhy embodiment takes time — and how integration often has a “lag period” before it feels naturalHow to stop seeking validation and begin leading from self-trust, even when others don't understandTaking bold, aligned action from your new identity, not urgency or old survival patterns

Leadership relationships can feel unsteady when authority depends on approval. This episode explores relational strain and internal authority, showing why the tension isn't failure or confidence issues, but identity-level misalignment that the nervous system is learning to recalibrate.Many capable, high-performing humans are taught that authority comes from position.From titles.From roles.From being affirmed, followed, or agreed with.But positional power often asks the nervous system to stay alert, scanning for response, approval, or control.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly walks alongside listeners through the Reclamation stage of Identity-Level Recalibration, exploring the felt difference between positional power and internal authority, and why one exhausts the body while the other settles it.This episode is especially relevant if you:Feel steady only when others affirm your decisionsNotice subtle bracing or posturing in leadership relationshipsCarry responsibility without final authoritySense relief when you stop scanning for approval, followed by unexpected exposureWant authority that feels embodied rather than performedRather than defining authority or asking listeners to claim it, this episode focuses on sensing it.Internal authority is not something you assert.It is something the body recognizes.Julie explores why reclaiming internal authority can feel quieter than expected, and why the absence of immediate feedback does not mean the absence of authority. This is not withdrawal, disengagement, or detachment. It is a nervous system learning to stand without leaning.This is not mindset work or productivity advice.Identity-Level Recalibration is root-level alignment that begins with who you are, not what you do. When identity settles, behavior follows naturally.Today's Micro Recalibration:The next time you notice yourself preparing to speak or act, ask quietly:What does steadiness feel like in my body right now?Not confidence.Not certainty.Just noticing.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

It's been an unusually warm and dry winter across the west, and that's bad news for the seven states and 40 million people that rely on water from the Colorado River. The water flowing into the river from snowmelt and rain is dwindling, partly because of climate change. The basin's two major reservoirs are at historic lows, and without a sudden influx of snowstorms, streamflow forecasts for the coming year aren't looking good. That adds stress to an already drought-stricken region where negotiations on how to share the river's water in the future are tense and stalled out.  “We're at a point where we have to make some serious long-term adjustment of expectations. In other words, people need to agree to take a lot less water than they've been counting on. And that is always really hard when water is scarce,” says Sarah Porter, director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University. The federal government has given states a deadline of Feb. 14th to reach an agreement, after which the Bureau of Reclamation commissioner could divvy up the water between states as it deems fit. It's already released its draft environmental impact statement with possible alternatives. What's led to this point of crisis? What is keeping states from reaching agreement? And what will the cities, farmers and industries that depend on the river do as climate change leads to a lower volume of water in an increasingly hotter and drier future?   Episode Guests: Sarah Porter, Director, Kyl Center for Water Policy, Arizona State University For show notes and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/podcasts ********** Support Climate One by going ad-free!

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.

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!

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.

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Sara Fakih. Sara's work is an invitation to remember - to come home to the body, to emotion as power, and to the truth that lives beneath survival and self-sabotage. Through trauma-informed somatic practices, body–mind maturation coaching, and movement rooted in yoga and dance, she guides women into deeper embodiment, emotional freedom, and nervous system repair. A freedom explorer and rule-breaker at heart, Sara weaves ancient wisdom with modern somatic intelligence - empowering women to reclaim their voice, purpose, and wild feminine essence through womb reconnection, ancestral healing, and embodied remembrance. In this episode, we explore what it really means to listen to your body - not as a surface-level somatic trend, but as a courageous descent into the truth that lives beneath survival, suppression and self-sabotage. Sara shares how the body holds our wild emotions, our ancestral memory, and the younger parts of us that learned to survive through shutdown, people-pleasing or rebellion. We speak about the paradox of wanting power and being terrified of it, how rage protects heartbreak, why numbness is a sensation worth honouring, and how our patterns of self-sabotage, procrastination and resignation are invitations into deeper liberation. This conversation is a raw, honest, embodied journey into creating internal safety, meeting your trauma with compassion, and reclaiming the wild feminine power that has always been yours. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Our deepest resignation and "I don't want to be here" moments are portals - the very places that reveal the gold we're here to reclaim Somatic safety isn't found by chasing calm - it's created by turning toward the sensations we fear, the contractions, the shakes, the numbness The survival mind isn't truth - it is inherited conditioning, ancestral memory, and old protection strategies that once saved us and now sabotage us Wild feminine emotion - especially rage - is power: a sacred force that protects heartbreak, cuts through illusion, and awakens authentic boundaries Suppression shows up in patterns: self-sabotage, procrastination, resentment, people-pleasing - each one is a doorway into deeper liberation Coming home to the body is coming home to power - when we stop outsourcing safety and learn to be with what arises, we alchemise trauma into truth and return to our gold.

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

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

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.

The Feds charged former DEA Deputy Chief of the Office of Financial Operations Paul Campo and friend Robert Sensi for conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. Paul Campo and Robert Sensi were charged with narcoterrorism, terrorism, narcotics distribution, and money laundering charges. Campo and Sensi were arrested on Thursday afternoon in New York, according to the DOJ. 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.

Accountability & transparency… This investigation should show the world how we are going to operate in every single investigation. Arctic Frost specifically, we have HUGE investigation going… and it's gonna take a little more time to peel it back. But no, I'm not gonna let people get off the hook or get a hall pass.

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.
