"우리 사이에 벌어진 일들을... 이해하지 못했어. 하지만... 다시 너랑 친하고 싶어."En: Minjun took a deep breath and continued, "I didn't understand what happened between us... but I want to be close with you again."Ko: 그러나 은지는 여전히 마음의 문을 쉽게 열지 않았다.En: However, Eunji still didn't easily open her heart.Ko: "왜 이제 와서?" 그녀는 물었다.En: "Why now?" she asked.Ko: "그때 전혀 신경 쓰지 않았잖아."En: "You didn't care at all back then."Ko: 민준은 잠시 망설였지만, 마음을 먹었다.En: Minjun hesitated for a moment but made up his mind.Ko: 코트를 뒤적여 오래전 쓴 편지를 꺼내들었다.En: He rummaged through his coat and took out a letter he had written long ago.Ko: "이걸... 그때 쓰고 못 줬어.En: "I wrote this... but never gave it to you.Ko: 오늘은 꼭 전하고 싶어."En: I want to give it to you today."Ko: 편지를 받아든 은지는 한참을 그 위에 눈을 고정했다.En: Eunji took the letter and fixed her gaze on it for a long time.Ko: 조용한 차 집에 시계 바늘이 움직이는 소리가 들렸다.En: In the quiet tea house, the ticking of the clock could be heard.Ko: 이제 몇 분 후면 새해였다.En: In a few minutes, it would be the New Year.Ko: 은지는 편지를 조심스럽게 뜯고, 민준은 그 옆에서 초조하게 기다렸다.En: Eunji carefully opened the letter and Minjun waited anxiously beside her.Ko: 편지를 읽는 동안 은지의 얼굴에서 조금씩 변화가 일어나기 시작했다.En: As Eunji read the letter, her face began to change little by little.Ko: 그녀의 입술이 떨리고, 눈이 살짝 붉어졌다.En: Her lips trembled, and her eyes became slightly red.Ko: 민준이 적어 내려간 진심 어린 사과와 후회가 느껴져서일 것이다.En: It must have been because she could feel the sincere apology and regret Minjun had poured into the letter.Ko: "형, 나는..." 은지는 쉬운 말을 찾지 못했다.En: "Brother, I..." Eunji struggled to find the right words.Ko: 돌아오는 새해의 경쾌한 종소리가 조용히 울려 퍼졌다.En: The cheerful sound of the New Year's bell quietly echoed.Ko: "다시 시작해볼래?" 민준이 조심스럽게 물었다.En: "Shall we start over?" Minjun asked carefully.Ko: 은지는 차갑던 얼굴에서 마음의 빙하가 녹아내리듯 미소를 지어 보였다.En: Eunji smiled, as if the glacier in her heart melted away.Ko: "그래, 다시 시작하자."En: "Yes, let's start over."Ko: 두 사람 사이에 흐르던 차갑던 바람이 언제 그랬느냐는 듯이 사라졌다.En: The cold breeze that had been blowing between them disappeared as if it was never there.Ko: 그들의 이야기는 이제 새로운 시작을 준비하고 있었다.En: Their story was now preparing for a new beginning.Ko: 차 잔에서 피어오르는 김처럼, 아르마와 따스함은 여전히 그들 사이를 감싸고 있었다.En: Like the steam rising from their teacups, warmth and comfort continued to embrace them.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a Christmas journey through the spiritual, the paranormal, and the deeply human.

It's an hour of gallows humor, heartfelt tears, and the reminder that crying is just laughing backwards. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nearly 2 million people are travelling through Dublin Airport over Christmas.Henry McKean is live from Dublin Airport in Terminal 2, and joins Andrea to share what he's seeing!

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

What if the future of marketing is a lot more human than we think? Today's guest, Mark Schaefer, has been shaping that future for decades — and he was actually on this show ten years ago. So this is part reunion, part masterclass. Mark's a futurist, bestselling author, Rutgers faculty member, and Drucker-trained strategist whose ideas guide brands from Adidas to the U.S. Air Force. His ten books and his top-ranked show The Marketing Companion have become industry staples. He's also a longtime friend who somehow manages to push your thinking and make you laugh at the same time. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why the future of marketing belongs to the most human companies, not the most automated ones How AI can scale trust, creativity, and teaching without killing the brand When removing friction actually damages customer relationships Why curiosity is becoming the most important career skill in the AI era How marketers must act as brand defenders when technology pushes too far Episode Chapters (00:00) Reunion and why this moment matters (02:00) Why this is the most amazing — and unsettling — time in marketing (04:20) Scaling humanity with AI and the MarkBot experiment (07:30) The most human company wins (and what that really means) (10:40) When AI goes too far and brands lose trust (12:30) Harley-Davidson, friction, and knowing your customer deeply (17:00) Curiosity as a career strategy in an AI world (27:00) The brand that made Mark smile About Mark Schaefer Mark Schaefer is a globally recognized futurist, keynote speaker, educator, and bestselling author. With more than 30 years of experience in marketing, PR, and global sales, he has advised organizations ranging from startups to Adidas and the U.S. Air Force. Mark studied under Peter Drucker, teaches in Rutgers University's graduate program, and holds seven patents. He is the author of ten influential books used at universities worldwide and the host of the top-ranked podcast, The Marketing Companion. Known for blending sharp insight with humanity and humor, Mark's work helps leaders navigate what's next without losing what matters. What Brand Has Made Mark Smile Recently? Mark couldn't stop smiling about Nutter Butter — a once-forgotten cookie brand that decided to go full weird. By embracing surreal, chaotic, almost inexplicable short-form videos, the brand ditched boring category conventions and leaned into creativity with nothing to lose. The result? Tripled sales and a case study in what happens when brands stop playing it safe and start being interesting. Resources & Links Connect with Mark on LinkedIn. Check out his website, BusinessesGrow.

Story Transcript:Ca: A la falda d'una serra ondulant, el mas d'en Nil es despertava amb l'alba.En: At the foot of a rolling hill, en Nil's farmhouse awakened with the dawn.Ca: Els arbres d'olivera, coberts de fulles platejades, brillaven sota la llum suau del matí.En: The olive trees, covered in silvery leaves, shimmered under the soft morning light.Ca: Aquesta estampa, encara que tranquil·la, amagava una preocupació que s'anava gestant al cor d'en Nil.En: This scene, though peaceful, hid a worry that was brewing in en Nil's heart.Ca: El Nadal s'apropava ràpidament i amb ell una trobada familiar que feia molt de temps que no es feia al mas antic de la família.En: Christmas was approaching quickly, along with a family gathering that hadn't been held at the old family farmhouse for a long time.Ca: En Nil estava immers en les seves tasques diàries.En: En Nil was immersed in his daily tasks.Ca: Aquell matí, l'aire era gelat, i per molt que intentava concentrar-se en el treball de la terra, no podia deixar de pensar en les tensions que sentia amb la seva germana.En: That morning, the air was chilly, and no matter how much he tried to concentrate on the farm work, he couldn't stop thinking about the tensions he felt with his sister.Ca: Laia arribaria d'uns dies i ell temia no estar a l'altura de les seves expectatives.En: Laia would arrive in a few days, and he feared not living up to her expectations.Ca: Era una sensació que l'envaïa cada vegada que pensava en el sopar de Nadal.En: It was a feeling that overcame him every time he thought about the Christmas dinner.Ca: Pel fet de viure en una ciutat gran, Laia semblava portar un món diferent amb ella, i en Nil temia no poder acostar-se a aquell món.En: Living in a big city, Laia seemed to bring a different world with her, and en Nil feared he couldn't connect to that world.Ca: El vell mas, de pedra robusta i centenars d'històries, s'omplia de flaires de pinassa i mandarina.En: The old farmhouse, with its robust stone and hundreds of stories, filled with the scents of pine and tangerine.Ca: A fora, les branques de pi decoraven la porta d'entrada amb un toc de verd sobre la pedra grisa.En: Outside, pine branches decorated the front door with a touch of green against the gray stone.Ca: Aquest any, volia que tot fos perfecte, esperant que així els seus sentiments es reconnectessin amb els de la família que tant trobava a faltar.En: This year, he wanted everything to be perfect, hoping that his feelings would reconnect with the family he missed so much.Ca: Amb el farm de treball acumulat i el pes emocional sobre les seves espatlles, en Nil va prendre una decisió que li propiciaria el canvi més gran que havia viscut en molt temps.En: With the burden of accumulated work and emotional weight on his shoulders, en Nil made a decision that would bring about the greatest change he'd experienced in a long time.Ca: Aquella tarda, mentre el sol s'amagava darrere dels turons, va cercar coratge i va trucar a la seva germana.En: That afternoon, as the sun hid behind the hills, he gathered the courage and called his sister.Ca: —Laia, necessito la teva ajuda —va dir, les paraules sortint com un sospir llargament contingut.En: "Laia, I need your help," he said, the words coming out like a long-held sigh.Ca: La Laia, després d'un moment de silenci, va respondre amb la veu dolça i comprensiva.En: Laia, after a moment of silence, responded with a sweet and understanding voice.Ca: —Vull ajudar-te, Nil.En: "I want to help you, Nil.Ca: Aquest Nadal el passarem junts de veritat.En: This Christmas, we'll truly spend it together."Ca: Aquell gest, aparentment senzill, va transformar el cor d'en Nil.En: That gesture, seemingly simple, transformed en Nil's heart.Ca: A mesura que s'acostava la vigília de Nadal, la casa començava a bategar amb una nova energia.En: As Christmas Eve approached, the house began to pulse with new energy.Ca: Amb l'ajuda de la Laia, tot va semblar prendre vida.En: With Laia's help, everything seemed to come to life.Ca: Els seus pares aviat van arribar, portant amb ells records de les tradicions de la infància.En: Their parents soon arrived, bringing with them memories of childhood traditions.Ca: L'olor d'escudella i canelons impregnava l'aire la nit de Nadal.En: The smell of soup and cannelloni filled the air on Christmas Eve.Ca: La casa estava plena de rialles i música suau de nadales.En: The house was full of laughter and soft Christmas carols.Ca: Mentre la família s'unia al voltant de la taula, en Nil va experimentar una calidesa inesperada.En: As the family gathered around the table, en Nil experienced an unexpected warmth.Ca: Laia, somrient, va fer un brindis.En: Laia, smiling, made a toast.Ca: —A la família —va dir amb una guspira als ulls—, i a la màgia de Nadal que ens acosta.En: "To family," she said, with a sparkle in her eyes, "and to the magic of Christmas that brings us closer."Ca: Aquell sopar, vist als ulls d'en Nil, era l'autèntic regal.En: That dinner, seen through en Nil's eyes, was the true gift.Ca: Enmig de l'alegria i el compartir, va entendre que no estava sol.En: Amidst the joy and sharing, he realized he was not alone.Ca: Aprendre a demanar ajuda era el primer pas per trobar el camí de tornada a casa, un camí que començava amb els llaços de sang i es nodria de l'amor i la comprensió.En: Learning to ask for help was the first step in finding the way back home, a path that began with blood ties and was nurtured by love and understanding.Ca: Quan les campanes de mitjanit van sonar a distància, en Nil se'n va adonar que el millor regal aquell Nadal havia estat el retrobament amb la família.En: When the midnight bells rang in the distance, en Nil realized that the best gift that Christmas had been reuniting with his family.Ca: Es va prometre a si mateix no tornar a permetre que el treball fes ombra als moments compartits.En: He promised himself never to let work overshadow shared moments again.Ca: Ell somreia mentre els seus ulls es tancaven amb el pensament de nous començaments.En: He smiled as his eyes closed with thoughts of new beginnings.Ca: Així va ser com al vell mas, entre olives i abraçades, un cop més va triomfar l'esperança.En: And so, at the old farmhouse, among olives and embraces, hope triumphed once more.

misunderstanding and wounds of the past seemed insurmountable.It: Tuttavia, qualcosa in Valeria si ammorbidì mentre guardava fuori, verso gli ulivi.En: However, something in Valeria softened as she looked outside, toward the olive trees.It: Quel paesaggio le ricordava le domeniche passate a raccogliere olive e a giocare con Carlo tra quegli alberi.En: That landscape reminded her of Sundays spent

On December 19th, interstellar object 3I/ATLAS makes its closest approach to the Earth, marking what astrologer and psychologist Heather Ensworth, Ph.D., calls the final activation window of this rare cosmic event. In this in-depth interview, Heather explains the astrological, mythological, and energetic significance of 3I ATLAS, including why its trajectory, timing, and symbolism align with major collective shifts leading into 2026. We explore the object's possible cosmic origin, how it interacts with the Sun, Earth, Venus, and Mars, and why so many intuitives, seers, and ancient traditions predicted a period of accelerated awakening during this solstice corridor. Whether you're tracking ATLAS as an astronomical phenomenon or tuning into the spiritual implications of this interstellar visitor, this episode brings brand-new 3i atlas updates you won't find anywhere else.Heather and Emilio dive into the deeper meaning of December's energies, including the Sun–Galactic Center alignment, the solstice gateway, plasma-field activations, and the psychological and spiritual shifts unfolding as humanity enters a new evolutionary phase. We discuss timelines, intuition, 5D consciousness, the awakening of the heart, and what this moment means for healers, sensitives, and starseeds around the world. If you're searching for the latest 3I/ATLAS update, looking to understand the astrological significance of December 19, or wanting to prepare for the energetic doorway of 2025–2026, this conversation with Heather Ensworth serves as your complete guide.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 - Heather Ensworth Intro03:47 – December Full Moon & The Window Until Dec 19, 202504:31 – 3I/ATLAS, Solstice & The 2025–2026 Evolutionary Cycle07:02 – Mars–Venus Dance 08:36 – Reunion of Masculine & Feminine Energies Across Ages09:34 – Humanity's 12,000-Year Descent12:43 – Who Rules the Aquarian Age? 13:29 – Dimensional Divide15:47 – Seeing Multi-Dimensional Reality21:13 – Why Humanity Chose Forgetting25:07 – Free Will vs. Cyclical Forces25:55 – Choice, Surrender & Hopi Prophecy29:05 – Does It Really Only Take 10% to Shift the World?35:10 – The Shadow of Each Royal Star38:10 – How Ancient Civilizations Received Star Wisdom43:29 – Flash-Forward to 2032: Saturn/Uranus in Orion's Arm46:36 – June 2032: Humanity's Choice Point Revealed47:36 – How to Prepare Spiritually for the Intensity Ahead50:05 – Heather's Daily Practices50:14 – The Heart as Humanity's Center51:29 – Earth's Movement Toward the Galactic Center Explained52:34 – Revisiting the Binary Star System & Sirius Connection59:19 – Becoming the New Human01:01:29 – The Convergence Event 01:05:06 – Your Message to the Future Human01:05:22 – What Quality Is Awakening in Humanity?01:06:12 – What Gives You Faith in Our Future?___________________Guest: Heather Ensworth, Ph.D., Astrologer & Wisdom Keeper✦ Website | https://risingmoonhealingcenter.com/✦ Readings & Courses | https://risingmoonhealingcenter.com/a...✦ YouTube | ‪@HeatherEnsworth‬ ✦ Instagram |   / heather.ensworth   Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG |   / iamemilioortiz  ✦ Subscribe to Channel |    / emilioortiz  ___________________© 2025 Emilio Ortiz.

Katalin asked, hoping to make the conversation more relaxed.Hu: Gábor vállat vont.En: Gábor shrugged.Hu: „Rendben van. Csak... magányos néha.”En: "It's fine. Just... lonely sometimes."Hu: A szavak ott lebegtek köztük, mígnem Katalin megállt és a szemébe nézett.En: The words hung between them until Katalin stopped and looked into his eyes.Hu: „Miért nem jössz haza gyakrabban?” – kérdezte halkan, fájdalom csendült a hangjában.En: "Why don't you come home more often?" she asked softly, with a hint of pain in her voice.Hu: Gábor mélyet sóhajtott.En: Gábor sighed deeply.Hu: „Azt hittem, már nem számítok... hogy mire visszatalálok, késő lesz.”En: "I thought I didn't matter anymore... that by the time I found my way back, it would be too late."Hu: Ebben a pillanatban mindkettőjük szívében valami megváltozott.En: In that moment, something changed in both their hearts.Hu: Rájöttek, hogy a távolság nem csupán kilométerekben mérhető.En: They realized that distance is not just measured in kilometers.Hu: Gábor bűntudatos volt, míg Katalin dühös.En: Gábor felt guilty, while Katalin was angry.Hu: Most azonban csak a szeretet és a megértés maradt.En: But now, only love and understanding remained.Hu: Katalin megfogta az öccse kezét.En: Katalin took her brother's hand.Hu: „Hiányoztál, Gábor” – mondta melegen.En: "I've missed you, Gábor," she said warmly.Hu: Gábor legyűrte a könnyeit.En: Gábor fought back tears.Hu: „Te is nekem, Kati.”En: "I've missed you too, Kati."Hu: A jégpálya kivilágított világában a testvéri szeretet újra fellángolt.En: In the illuminated world of the ice rink, their sibling love rekindled.Hu: Ahogy köröztek a jégen, a korábbi félreértések és fájdalmak lassan elpárologtak.En: As they skated in circles on the ice, past misunderstandings and pain slowly evaporated.Hu: Mindketten ígéretet tettek, hogy többet dolgoznak kapcsolatukon, hogy többé ne váljanak el egymástól ilyen hosszú időre.En: They both promised to work harder on their relationship, so they wouldn't be apart for such a long time again.Hu: A jégtől távozva Katalin és Gábor az új kezdet reményével sétáltak vissza a város forgatagába.En: Leaving the ice, Katalin and Gábor walked back into the bustle of the city with the hope of a new beginning.Hu: Az éjszaka hidege már nem tűnt olyan ridegnek.En: The night's cold no longer seemed so harsh.Hu: Gábor megértette, hogy a család mindig befogadja, bárhol is éljen a világban.En: Gábor understood that family always welcomes you, no matter where you live in the world.Hu: Talán nem mindig lesz könnyű, de most már tudta, hogy az újra megtalált kötelék megéri minden erőfeszítést.En: It may not always be easy, but now he knew that the re-discovered bond was worth every effort.Hu: És ahogy a karácsonyi díszek fénye gyengéden ringott a szélben, testvérük összefonódott szívvel indultak tovább a közös úton.En: And as the lights of the Christmas decorations gently swayed in the wind, the siblings set out on their shared path with intertwined hearts.
