Your body is talking to your brain constantly, telling it either 'I'm safe' or 'I'm not safe.' The posture you default to when no one's watching might be the thing keeping you stuck. Amy Cuddy, the social psychologist behind one of the most-watched TED Talks ever, sat down to unpack what actually builds confidence when the world feels unstable. She talks about the difference between faking it and becoming it, why imposter syndrome hits 75-85% of people, and why the bullies who came after her post-TED fame taught her more about personal power than the research ever did. You'll hear about the exact breathing pattern she uses before high-stakes moments, the simple writing exercise that beats any pep talk, and why she thinks reframing anxiety as excitement changes everything. There's also a story about a nurse named Alex Wubbels who got thrown against a wall for doing the right thing, and what that taught Amy about the kind of bravery that has no glory attached to it. This conversation will make you rethink every time you've shrunk yourself to avoid being noticed. Sit up straight, not for anyone else, but because you deserve the respect you keep giving away.

We talk about manifestation, abundance, belief, prayer, and the power of conviction, plus why the stories you hold about money, success, relationships, health, and your dreams can either support your decision or quietly work against it. I also share the story of my daughter's transformation as a cross-country runner and how one clear decision completely changed what became possible for her.I also open up about dreams that took years to manifest, including Soul Writing Out Loud and our home in Costa Rica, and why the “in-between” season matters so much when you're waiting for your reality to catch up with your vision.

Mastering Life's Adventures: Being Your Best Self Through Soul Evolution!
In this episode, Dr. Judith explores how many patterns people try to change aren't simple habits but unconscious “childhood rules” learned in families—often invisible, unspoken conclusions about what you must do to stay safe, valued, and loved. She explains how these rules can masquerade as personality traits and function like an outdated alarm system that triggers guilt, fear, and over-responsibility in adult life. Through examples of Claire, who struggles to receive help, and Renee, whose independence blocks trustworthy connection, Dr. Judith shows how survival strategies can become prisons. Using the Exodus “wilderness” metaphor and Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements, she offers reflective questions and practical steps: identify the rule, honor what it once protected, name what it costs now, choose a new commitment, and practice one small action to embody freedom and soul progress.00:00 Hidden Childhood Rules01:25 Visible vs Invisible Rules03:04 Rules Disguised as Personality07:00 Claire The Strong One12:19 Outdated Alarm System15:25 Inherited Family Patterns18:28 Exodus And Inner Freedom23:56 Renee And Trust29:06 Four Agreements Reframed35:18 Rewrite The Rule40:53 Practice New Evidence43:50 Closing Reflection

A lot of the way we handle money did not start with us. It started with what we saw, heard, absorbed, and were taught to believe about saving, spending, investing, asking for help, wanting more, and talking about money. In this episode, Shari breaks down the money scripts many women inherit — and how those old beliefs can quietly shape financial decisions for years. You'll hear how messages like “good women don't talk about money,” “security means keeping cash,” “spending on myself is selfish,” “I should be able to figure this out alone,” and “wanting more makes me greedy” can affect the way you manage money today. This episode is not about blaming your past. It is about noticing which beliefs are still serving you — and which ones need to be rewritten. Because money should not be managed by scripts you never chose. Money should be a tool that helps you live life on your terms. If you're ready for personalized, judgment-free financial guidance, learn more about working with Shari.

JP Garbaccio has worked both sides of SEO — years agency-side as a technical specialist, and now leading SEO and AEO strategy at Searchable, an AI search visibility platform. That gives him a blunt take: AI search isn't the next chapter of SEO, it's a shift from 2D to 3D, and most of the industry is still navigating it with an old map.JP and Russ talk about why client trust is fraying as attribution gets murkier ("clients aren't being stubborn, they're scared"), why product marketers and PR — not technical SEOs — are increasingly leading AI search strategy, and why brand fame may matter more than any single tactic. JP also shares what Searchable's data shows on sentiment and market penetration, and why patient, forward-thinking brands are about to pull ahead.They close comparing AI tools — including why JP reaches for Claude above everything else.
Government software development pipelines are increasingly integrating AI coding assistants, but Air Force Sustainment Center Software Directorate CTO Kurt Jarvis said success depends on improving how developers use existing code, not just generating new code faster. Speaking with GovCIO Media & Research at the Carahsoft DevSecOps Conference, Jarvis outlined an engineer-first approach that uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases and established DevSecOps pipelines to safely accelerate software development. Jarvis said one of the biggest opportunities for AI is helping developers discover and reuse decades of trusted software already maintained by the Air Force. The goal, he said, is to make AI a code‑reuse engine, not a code‑generation machine. He also emphasized that AI has not changed the Air Force's software engineering standards. Existing CI/CD pipelines are still the foundation for evaluating AI-generated code. AI can accelerate development, Jarvis said, but engineering discipline and human oversight remain essential to producing mission-ready software.

Have you ever stepped on the scale, missed a workout, or gone off plan with one meal—and immediately convinced yourself you'd ruined everything? You're not alone. The problem usually isn't the fact itself. It's the story we attach to it. In this episode, we're talking about why one moment doesn't define your progress, how emotions can distort your perspective, and why learning to separate facts from feelings is one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make. Whether you're in a fat-loss phase, preparing for a bodybuilding competition, or simply trying to become more consistent, this episode will help you stop reacting emotionally and start responding with wisdom. In this episode, we discuss: Why one bad day doesn't erase weeks of consistency The difference between facts and the stories we create about them Why scale fluctuations don't always reflect fat gain How emotional thinking can sabotage your progress Why coaches look for patterns—not isolated moments The importance of making protocol decisions based on data instead of emotions What Scripture teaches about taking our thoughts captive How to respond with truth instead of spiraling into self-defeat ***Your Action Step This Week*** The next time something doesn't go according to plan, pause before reacting. Ask yourself: What are the facts? Then ask: What story am I telling myself about these facts? Finally, ask: Is that story actually true? Choose truth over assumptions. Choose your next right step over perfection. Remember, one meal doesn't define you. One workout doesn't define you. One weigh-in doesn't define you. Your direction—and your willingness to return to your standards—does. ---Ready to Build More Than a Physique? Rachel believes lasting transformation starts from the inside out. Whether your goal is fat loss, stepping on stage, or becoming the healthiest, strongest version of yourself, she'll help you build the mindset, discipline, and confidence to sustain your results for life.

Leigh Ann welcomes clinical hypnotherapist Christina Woods for a conversation on hypnotherapy, subconscious beliefs, medical trauma, and why insight alone often is not enough to create lasting change. Christina shares how a season of major life transition, burnout, and 24/7 vertigo led her to discover hypnotherapy and eventually leave a 30-year corporate career to help others access deeper subconscious healing. She explains hypnotherapy as a natural, focused state of mind that allows the conscious mind to quiet while the subconscious becomes more accessible, revealing the beliefs and narratives that may be driving behaviors, symptoms, relationships, and patterns. Leigh Ann and Christina discuss how beliefs like “I'm not enough,” “I'm alone,” or “I can't trust anyone” can form early in life, often from experiences that may not look traumatic on the surface but still shaped the nervous system and psyche. They also explore medical trauma, including how dismissive or invasive medical experiences can accumulate in the body and later show up as anxiety, panic, claustrophobia, avoidance, sleep disruption, or a loss of trust in medical care.

What if everything we thought we knew about the ancient world was incomplete?In 1947, Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl set out to answer a question that challenged the foundations of archaeology. Sailing more than 4,300 miles across the Pacific Ocean on a simple balsa wood raft called Kon-Tiki, he attempted to prove that ancient civilizations may have been capable of extraordinary transoceanic voyages long before modern navigation—or even Christopher Columbus.But did his daring expedition actually rewrite history... or simply prove that the impossible was possible?In this captivating episode of Truth Be Told, host Tony Sweet takes you on a journey across one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world. We'll uncover the fascinating story behind the Kon-Tiki expedition, explore the legends of Viracocha, examine the mystery of the sweet potato that somehow crossed the Pacific centuries before European exploration, and dive into the latest archaeological and genetic discoveries that continue to fuel debate among historians.Together, we'll separate fact from speculation as we explore questions surrounding ancient navigation, lost civilizations, Polynesian explorers, Atlantis, Mu, and whether forgotten chapters of human history may still be waiting beneath the waves.Was Thor Heyerdahl chasing an impossible dream... or uncovering clues to one of humanity's greatest forgotten mysteries?Join us as we follow the evidence, challenge assumptions, and ask the questions that continue to captivate explorers, archaeologists, and mystery seekers around the world. Because sometimes... The greatest mysteries aren't found in the stars... they're hidden in our own past.
Realizing the beliefs that are shaping your life is powerful—but awareness alone doesn't create transformation. In this episode, we move into Recode and Rewrite: how to question the subconscious beliefs that have been driving you, replace them with beliefs your mind can actually accept, and begin creating real evidence that a different way of living is possible. Then we take it one step further. Because a new belief without new behavior is just an idea. You'll discover how your everyday choices, habits, and actions can begin reflecting the person you're becoming—so you can continue building success without postponing your happiness along the way.

Send us Fan MailI am your host, Neo Griot. Welcome to Rational Black Thought, a podcast where we discuss news, politics, religion, and culture from a Black, progressive, secular humanist perspective.This week's episode is titled after a lyric by Dame D.O.L.L.A.:Used to call us monkeys and slaves and we overcame. Still, our work is just beginnin'. Protests look like parades.That bar carries three truths in two lines.First: we overcame. Slavery. Jim Crow. Redlining. Mass incarceration. Voter suppression. A country that called us property and then called us criminals. And we are still here.Second: the work isn't finished. Overcoming isn't the same as arriving. Winning a battle isn't winning the war. Getting in the room isn't controlling the room.Third: our protests look like parades. That's not just a flex — it's a strategy. We have learned to organize. We have learned to mobilize. We can fill the streets, fill the polls, fill the rallies. The question is what happens after the parade goes home.Because here's the thing about parades: they're beautiful, they're loud, they prove we exist. But parades don't govern. Parades don't draw district lines, confirm judges, staff election boards, or write legislation. Parades show power. Institutions wield power.And that's the tension heading into the 2026 midterms.Americans are taught that elections are simple. Vote. Count. Winner governs. That's the civics-book version — clean and comforting and mostly fiction.In the real system, your vote travels through congressional districts, state legislatures, election boards, federal courts, and constitutional compromises before it becomes governing power. At every stop, some votes get amplified and others get diluted. A voter in one state can have dozens of times more Senate influence than a voter in another. A party can lose the popular vote and still win more seats — because it drew the lines. And when any of that gets challenged, the final word often comes from judges appointed by a president who didn't win the popular vote himself.None of that means voting doesn't matter. It means voting isn't the whole game.Black political participation has been reduced to turnout. Every two or four years, we're told this is the most important election of our lifetime. Register. Stand in line. Cast your ballot. Save democracy. Then go home while politicians, consultants, lobbyists, judges, and party officials decide what our votes actually produce. We're treated as an electoral resource instead of an organized constituency. Our votes are demanded. Our loyalty is assumed. Our interests are negotiated.We overcame. That part is real. The civics-book version of democracy is not.The difference between participation and power is the ability to impose consequences. A community has political power when it can select candidates, finance campaigns, shape policy, monitor elected officials, protect the vote, and remove representatives who fail to deliver. A community has political dependency when it waits for national leaders to tell it who to support and what compromises to accept.Winning an election and controlling the political battlefield aren't the same thing. One counts votes. The other decides what those votes are worth. And our work is just beginning.

Send us Fan MailIn this special episode of Insight in Indian Country, REDW HR Consulting Business Partner Jessica Goodfox sits down with Senior HR Consultant Taryn Reynolds to revisit their session at the 2026 WEWIN National Conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma — "Breaking the Need to Explain Yourself: Confidence, Boundaries, and Voice for Indigenous Women." What started as a breakout session filled to standing room only became a candid, packed-room conversation about the pressure many Indigenous women feel to over-explain, soften their message, or justify their boundaries in professional and community spaces. Jessica and Taryn share what stood out from the room, walk through their "Rewrite the Script" exercise for turning over-apologetic responses into clear, respectful ones, and unpack how cultural values of humility and respect can coexist with self-advocacy and a clear voice.Grab your companion permission slips and worksheet HERE and get ready to build a healthier communication culture in your organization with REDW's HR Consulting team.REDW Advisors and CPAs is proud to bring you the Insight in Indian Country Podcast, covering important advisory, accounting, and finance topics that impact Tribal Nations and business affairs.

In Michigan, a race for U.S. Senate is not only testing the growing appeal of left-wing populism. It could also be a turning point in a long-running debate among Democratic voters about the importance of electability.

You sit down with a recruit and you start talking, and halfway through you realize you sound exactly like the company website. The platform, the products, the tech stack, the comp plan, all the stuff every other leader in your market is saying too. And the recruit's eyes glaze over, because they've heard it nine times this year from nine different people who all sound the same. Here's what I want you to walk away with today, and it should change how you walk into every recruiting conversation. Between 80 and 90% of the people who join an organization join because of the leader, not the company. You are the differentiator. I'll give you four moves that make your leadership vision impossible to confuse with corporate messaging. Episode Breakdown [00:01:40] Duct Tape Tennis Shoes I grew up low income, duct tape tennis shoes. I was the poor kid at school, and I knew it. At 19 I left home and planted a flag in the ground and told myself I'd never live like that again. I went to college, hated it, and left after one semester, but I didn't give up on the dream. I started going to every conference and live event I could get to, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn, Les Brown, and I taught myself. By my mid-20s I was one of the top salespeople in a Fortune 500 company. [00:02:25] Why That Story Beats a Comp Plan When I share that in a recruiting conversation, the recruit doesn't hear a comp plan. They hear personal growth. They hear a value I didn't pick off a list because it sounded good, I lived it in shoes held together with tape. A competitor can match my comp by Friday. They can buy the same software. But not one of them can copy that story or the value it proves, because it happened to me and not to them. Lead with the company and you're handing the recruit something anyone can duplicate. Lead with you and you're handing them the one thing in this entire industry that's impossible to replicate. [00:03:05] The Premise: You Are the Product, Not the Company Four moves sit on one idea. You are the product, not the company. That's the frame underneath everything that follows. [00:03:21] Move 1: Stop Saying You're Better and Start Being Different Almost every leader you compete with is going to say some version of we're better. The second you say better, you've invited a comparison contest on comp and rate sheets, a contest you might lose. Different takes you out of the contest completely, because your exact combination of experience, beliefs, and culture can't be ranked against anybody. There's nothing to compare it to. [00:03:54] Move 2: Build Your Message From Your Own Stories Your values should come from your life, not from a values page someone in marketing wrote. A value with a story behind it is impossible to fake and impossible to copy. My family-first value isn't a word on a wall, it's the thing that got me out of bed in the worst year of my life. When a value has a story like that under it, the recruit believes it, because you're not claiming it, you're proving it. [00:04:26] Move 3: Make Every Value Concrete Enough to Repeat Here's the test. If it takes you five minutes to explain what one of your values means, it's too abstract, and the recruit won't remember it the moment they leave the room. Get each value down to one concrete sentence a recruit could write on a napkin after hearing it once. Concrete is memorable, and memorable is what walks out the door and keeps working on them. [00:04:54] Move 4: Name Your Culture So It Self-Selects Don't describe your team as a list of features, give it an identity. If you run a fully virtual selling culture that hands out an award for the most creative spot somebody shows up from for the sales meeting, say that. The right person hears it and thinks that's me, and the wrong person screens themselves out before you waste a conversation. A named culture is a filter and a magnet at the same time. [00:05:25] Why It Works If 80 to 90% of hires come because of the leader, then every minute you spend selling the corporate platform is a minute spent on the weakest lever you have, while you're sitting on the strongest one, your own story and vision, and most leaders barely touch it. And you can't be commoditized. Comp gets matched, platforms get matched, perks get matched, but your value system, your why, and your vision can't be duplicated by anybody, which means the moment you compete on those you stop being a slightly better option and become a category of one. And a lived story is believable in a way a claim never is. Anybody can say they value growth or family or hard work. Prove it with a real moment from your real life and the recruit stops evaluating a pitch and starts connecting with a person, and people join people. [00:06:25] Your Small Win Today Take one line of corporate messaging you've been leaning on in recruiting conversations and rewrite it as something only you could say. If a competitor could say the exact same sentence, it isn't differentiating you. [00:06:49] Three Bigger Moves This Week Write one of your core values as a story, beginning, struggle, and overcome, so your whole team learns to recruit on identity instead of the rate sheet. Rewrite each of your values into one concrete sentence a recruit could repeat after hearing it once, so your message lands the same whether it comes from you or anyone on your team. Then name your culture and three specific rituals inside it, so the right recruits self-select toward you and you stop burning time on the wrong ones. Key Takeaways Between 80 and 90% of people join because of the leader, not the company. You are the differentiator. Corporate messaging is the weakest tool you have. Your story, your vision, and your values are the strongest. A competitor can match your comp by Friday and buy the same software. They can't copy a story that happened to you and not to them. Stop saying you're better. Better invites a comparison contest on comp. Different takes you out of the contest completely. A value with a story under it is impossible to fake. You're not claiming it, you're proving it. If it takes five minutes to explain a value, it's too abstract. Get it down to one sentence a recruit could write on a napkin. Name your culture and it becomes a filter and a magnet at once. The right person self-selects in, the wrong one screens out. If you want help pulling your story and vision out and making it impossible to copy, reach out. Visit bookrichardnow.com and grab time on my calendar, and I'd be glad to think it through with you.

On this episode of The Rewrite, I'm joined by Allison Brenner, founder and CEO of InnerVue, for a powerful conversation about self-awareness, relationships, and the courage to ask one life-changing question: “What's it like to be on the other side of me?” We dive into the blind spots we all have, how our past shapes our relationships, why accountability matters more than blame, and how greater self-awareness can help us heal after divorce, date with intention, and create stronger connections moving forward. If you're ready to rewrite your next chapter with more clarity, curiosity, and confidence, you won't want to miss this episode.Follow Allison on Instagram
Thirty years ago, the People's Republic of China ratified the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Since then, Beijing has frequently invoked UNCLOS to support its maritime claims and legal positions, while advancing interpretations of the Convention that many other states –but not all – reject. This June the China Institute for Marine Affairs under the Ministry of Natural Resources marked the 30-year anniversary with an extensive report providing Beijing's interpretation of UNCLOS, including its account of the 2016 arbitral award that found China's expansive maritime claims in the South China Sea as lacking a legal basis under the Convention. To examine the PRC's evolving interpretation of UNCLOS and Chinese maritime activities, and how both are being used to advance Chinese interests, I'm joined today by Dr. Peter Dutton. Peter is a Senior Research Scholar in law and senior fellow in the Paul Tsai China Center at Yale Law School. Previously, he held several positions at the U.S. Naval War College, including as director of the China Maritime Studies Institute. He served in the US Navy for more than 40 years in several capacities, including as a Judge Advocate and naval flight officer.

It's Free Speech Friday, and Joe Pags kicks things off with his always-entertaining Dopes of the Day before turning his attention to Kamala Harris' latest call to rethink the Electoral College, asking whether anyone is actually buying what she's selling. He also reacts to Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's comments about being "selective" with media appearances—even as she sat down on Michelle Obama's podcast—raising questions about media access and transparency. Then explorer and researcher Mike Collins joins the program for a mind-blowing conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about ancient history. After visiting more than 300 archaeological sites around the world, Collins explains why he believes humans were living in the Americas at least 12,000 years ago, shares discoveries that mainstream history often overlooks, and reveals evidence that could completely change the way we understand our past.

I read Dr. Gertrude Lyons' book Rewrite the Mother Code and immediately wanted to get everyone in a room and talk about it. She's a maternal identity expert with a doctorate, nearly three decades of coaching, and a worldview that breaks motherhood wide open: motherhood isn't a role, it's a creative force. It shows up in your business, your relationships, your dreams, and most importantly in how you mother yourself. In this conversation we get into why almost every mom loses herself at some point (including the ones with degrees in this exact subject), why self-doubt is the number one obstacle moms name, and what it takes to actually come back. You'll hear: Why you're already mothering, whether or not you have children The catalysts that reliably knock moms off track, and why drifting is the assignment rather than the failure Where the erosion of self-trust actually comes from, and how we got cut off from our own intuition The $100 answer that fixed my daughter's year of stomach pain after a doctor said girls are just dramatic Why the truth is an act of kindness, and how "keeping the peace" costs us more than we realize The say-no assignment, and why not explaining yourself is the hard part "He knows he's enough and I know I'm not too much," and why so many moms think they have to earn the right to just be The conversation my thirteen-year-old started with me, and what it proved about doing the inner work This is for any mom who has quietly wondered where she went, and whether it's too late to go get herself.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A year after Bryan Kohberger admitted to the University of Idaho murders in open court, he wants the whole thing thrown out, and the way he says so is stranger than the fact that he says it at all.His statement to the New York Times contains the line that his actual innocence is his truth. Not a denial. Not a claim of fact. A truth belonging to him personally, which is the sort of thing people write when the alternative has become unlivable.Tony Brueski brings in psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, whose career spans private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs, to work through the psychology underneath the filing.The petition itself claims ineffective assistance of counsel, claims he was convinced to falsely confess, and claims his lawyers told him a false plea would hand him a legal victory. Those are his allegations, and his former attorneys have not responded publicly to them. But strip the legal language off and one piece of the argument is simply that nobody explained how bad prison would be. He has had a year to find that out.So which is it. A man discovering he made a terrible deal, or a man discovering he cannot live inside the version of himself that deal locked in permanently?The conversation also goes to the silence. Given the floor at his own sentencing, with the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin sitting feet away, he declined to speak. A year later he picked up a phone. Same man, same voice, two completely different rooms.Before any of that, he signed a nine-page questionnaire confirming he understood he was surrendering his right to appeal and might never be permitted to withdraw the plea later. He initialed his way through it in front of the judge.Hidden Killers goes past the filings and into the people.

China is moving quickly to expand its influence over global governance as the United States steps back from its traditional leadership role. Earlier this month, President Xi Jinping unveiled the World Artificial Intelligence Organization, a new Shanghai-based institution with 29 founding members, most from Asia and Africa, that Beijing hopes will help shape the global rules governing AI. The new organization is the latest in a series of Chinese initiatives aimed at reshaping the international order to better reflect Beijing's priorities. Through efforts such as the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and now the WAIO, China is positioning itself not just as a participant in the existing system, but as an architect of new global rules. Yu Jie, a senior research fellow on China at Chatham House in London, joins Eric to discuss whether Beijing can turn its diplomatic ambitions into lasting influence and why many countries in the Global South are receptive to China's vision.

"I wasn't just collecting artifacts—I was protecting the evidence that Black people have always defined ourselves." That reflection from Dr. Khalid el-Hakim anchors one of the most profound conversations ever recorded on Detroit is Different. Long before earning his doctorate, Dr. el-Hakim was rescuing books, photographs, newspapers, flyers, artwork, and priceless artifacts that many dismissed as ordinary, understanding that every item carried the story of Black people determined to define themselves. In this expansive interview, he traces his family's journey from Virginia through the Underground Railroad into Canada and Detroit, the influence of his grandparents' activism, Great Lakes Mutual Insurance, People's Community Church, Carter G. Woodson's visit to Detroit, and the library that first awakened his love for history. He shares how schools like Mumford High, African-centered educators like Mama Shushana (Ms. Taliaferro), and Detroit's rich political and cultural legacy shaped his life's work. Now, with the scholarship of a Ph.D. reinforcing decades of grassroots preservation, Dr. el-Hakim explains not only 'what' he collected, but 'why' context is the true treasure—connecting every artifact to the larger struggle, brilliance, resistance, and imagination of Black people. This episode is a masterclass on cultural preservation, proving that safeguarding our history is not nostalgia; it is a strategy for community empowerment, historical truth, and building a future where our children inherit knowledge instead of erasure. To discover more about the work of Dr. Khalid el-Hakim visit www.blackhistorymobilemuseum.com today.

July 27, 2026The administration is attempting to rewrite the history of the US, It argues that the US was founded as a white nation, an echo of 1930s German ideology, The White House issued a report saing that the National Museum of American History “fails in the basic task of illuminating our heritage,” The report attacks the Museum's director and its staff, A nakedly political document, the report advances Trump's belief that the Smithsonian has an improper ideology, The report was meant to create a straw man for MAGA supporters to hate, Proposed signage creates a hostile atmosphere, as does harassment of tour guides and others associated with historic sites, Without accuracy, we will learn the wrong information about history and about whether this country was founded on race and land or, as the Founders said, principles and the rule of law.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

What if divorce isn't the end of your family story… but the beginning of a new one? On this episode of The Rewrite, I'm joined by Marisa Belger, a certified professional divorce and co-parenting coach who helps mothers get built by divorce instead of broken by it. Marisa shares her deeply personal journey of going from believing divorce meant she was “broken” to creating something she never imagined — a blended family of six built on communication, respect, and a shared love for their children. We talk about:- Letting go of the idea that divorce is failure- Rebuilding self-trust after losing yourself- Moving from co-parenting logistics to real relationships- Creating a healthy family dynamic after divorce- What a functional blended family of six actually looks like Divorce may rewrite your story… but it doesn't have to define the ending.

Send us Fan MailAnd….we're BACK with a fresh new season of the Bare Marriage podcast! We're kicking things off with a lively deep dive into the debate over purity culture, asking what happens when influential Christian voices revise their past teachings, redefine the terms, and rewrite the history of what they once taught. We unpack the difference between biblical chastity and shame-based purity culture, take on straw man arguments and shifting definitions, and explore how messages about sex, marriage, authority, and obligation can shape the church in ways we may not always recognize. Real change requires more than just saying something was harmful - it requires honesty, accountability, and a willingness to pursue better fruit. This is Part 1 of a 3-part series, so let's get to it and be sure to tune in next week!CHECK OUT OUR OCTOBER SIMULCAST EVENTWe're doing our sex talk and a one-day marriage conference!

The Narcissist Wants You to Believe This Lie Have you ever confronted a narcissist with undeniable proof, only to have them deny everything, twist the facts, or completely rewrite what happened? If you've ever left a conversation wondering, "Did that really happen the way I remember it?" or "Am I losing my mind?"—you're not alone. In this episode of Help! I Have a Narcissist in My Life, Laurel Slade-Waggoner explains why narcissists lie, deny, and rewrite history, and more importantly, how you can protect your sanity without getting pulled into their distorted version of reality.

I just returned from Washington, D.C., after touring the U.S. Capitol with Speaker Mike Johnson, and I walked away more convinced than ever that America's Christian heritage isn't a myth—it's written into the very fabric of our nation. From biblical artwork and Scripture throughout the Capitol to the faith that shaped our Founders, the evidence is hiding in plain sight. I'll also share why Christians must engage in this cultural moment with courage, truth, and biblical discernment instead of fear or outrage. If we want to preserve the freedoms we've been given, we have to remember the foundation they were built on.Young WashingtonSee the untold story of George Washington before he became America's first president.

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of “The Odyssey” has been drawing a lot of attention but not necessarily for good reasons.Actress Lupita Nyong'o, set to play Helen of Troy in the film, complained in an interview that Homer didn't include enough women in his play. In actuality, “The Odyssey” was one of the most pro-women works for its time period. Nolan's film has also received criticism for its controversial casting choices, including giving the role of a famed Greek warrior to transgender actor Elliot Page. Nolan's adaptation releases Friday, July 17. Only time will tell whether the film stayed true to Homer's vision.
A man who has feared death every day of his life wakes among strangers who cannot die — and finds that to them, he is something called an “atavus” — drawn by lot into what they have waited five hundred years to do.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Marshall's presentation of "Wise Child," written by Sam Dann and starring Ralph Bell. Joyce and Calvin Spurlock argue their way off a turnpike into a storm near a place called Kiowa Flats, sleep the night in their stalled car, and wake to find a newborn baby lying naked on a hillside — alive, unharmed, and abandoned. Joyce insists the child is a miracle and claims him as her own, inventing a birth story to secure a certificate. Calvin Junior never grows, not an ounce, not a fraction of an inch, while doctors find him perfectly healthy. Then a newspaper report reveals that the wilderness north of Kiowa Flats had been used as a secret dumping ground for atomic waste — and Calvin begins to sense something in the air, a force, a light, a power that lets him read the minds of his boss, his sister, and his customers, reshaping his entire life around whatever entered that child during the storm.From there, Arch Oboler's "Immortal Gentleman" arrives with Edmund O'Brien and Anne Shepherd, in which a man terrified of death his entire life screams aloud in a crowded auditorium and then explains why to the woman beside him. Sitting through a political speech, he found himself displaced into a future where science has abolished death entirely — a world of young people conditioned for fifty years, filled with all human knowledge, living two hundred, three hundred, five hundred years with nothing to do because "the old ones" never die and never surrender their positions. They call him an atavus, a throwback that surfaces once in every two thousand embryos. Twenty-four of them draw lots in a darkened room, and he is handed a black box and told to throw it at a woman who has lived five thousand years.Next, William Gargan stars as Barry Craig, confidential investigator, in "Corpse On Delivery." Bail bondsman Sam Solloway hires Craig to find Joey Florio, a racketeer who jumped a fifty-thousand-dollar bond, and offers ten percent to get him back. A merchant seaman named Stacy Crocker is stabbed four separate times outside Craig's office door before he can deliver whatever he came to sell. A blonde in ballerina sweaters frisks the corpse for its papers, a rifle shot grazes Craig's skull along West Street, and monogrammed pillows in a room at the Hotel Mohansic spell out the answer in two letters.The episode continues with John Metcalfe's "Mortmain," dramatized for radio by Rebecca Wilmshurst, set in the south of England before the war. Salome Clare marries Humphrey Ramsden Child, a man obsessed with moths, boats, and his dead mother Harriet, who vows at the altar that marriage binds souls beyond death throughout eternity. At an anniversary dinner deliberately set for thirteen guests aboard his houseboat, a woman is attacked by a swarm of moths in an upstairs bathroom, and a decomposing dog is dragged from the linen closet. Humphrey is committed as criminally insane, dresses in his mother's clothing, and promises from inside a straitjacket that death shall not part them. After his death, Salome marries John Temple — and on their honeymoon, a rotting pink boat begins rising out of the water behind them.Frank Lovejoy follows as Randy Stone in "Lost Souls," walking South State Street on Chicago's Skid Row, where a woman named Ruth Martin has spent eight hundred dollars buying steaks, clean sheets, and champagne for every derelict on the block. She refuses to answer a ringing telephone. Her purse holds a hotel key and a brand-new loaded .32. Twenty years earlier, watching police drag a screaming thirty-year-old woman into a wagon, Ruth made her friend Vivian Clark promise to kill her if she ever turned out the same way. Vivian Clark died at eleven years old — and every night for three weeks, the phone has rung wherever Ruth runs, from St. Louis to Kansas City to Duluth to Chicago.Basil Rathbone then delivers a short piece from Beyond the Green Door about a magician turned bank robber who kills two guards in Croesus, Maine, and hides in an abandoned granite quarry by disguising himself as a boulder — until a truck from the Eastern Maine Gravel Corporation pulls in to set the dynamite charges. The Man in Black, starring Paul Frees, presents John Russell's South Seas story "The Price of the Head," in which Christopher Pellet, a red-whiskered drunk with a bad name in the islands, murders a bartender at Fufuti and is saved by a Bougainville native named Karaki, who steals a canoe, sails eight hundred miles, nurses him through withdrawal, kills two white men in a cutter, gives him the last of the water, and combs his red hair and whiskers twice every day.Blackstone the Magic Detective investigates "The Ghost That Wasn't" at the Weldon mansion, where Mortimer Weldon's brother Clarence accepted a dare to spend the night in the tower room and was found in the courtyard with a broken neck behind a door locked from the inside — and where a grandfather clock that has always kept excellent time is suddenly two minutes slow. Alan Ladd stars as Dan Holliday in "The Professor And The Puzzle," a Box 13 adventure in which a college crystallographer named Martin Gardner is found shot through the heart with his own gun, his niece abruptly breaks her engagement to marry her uncle's lab assistant Ed Macklin, and Macklin turns up stabbed with his own knife. Registered mail receipts and a bank book under the name Samuel Stoner lead Holliday to an office building and a case of illicit diamond cutting.Calling All Cars reaches back into the records for "The Human Bomb," the true story of Carl Weiss, who walked into police headquarters wearing a sheepskin hood, green goggles, and a soldier's campaign hat, carrying a blood-red box packed with sixty-six sticks of dynamite and holding a spring-loaded trigger that would fire the moment he let go. He demanded to see Paul Shoup, president of the Pacific Electric Railway, and threatened to level the building unless the railroad workers got a raise. Two hundred and sixty prisoners were evacuated by streetcar while Chief Sebastian stalled him, and Officer Sam Brown eventually thrust his bare hand through the glass top of the box to smother the lit fuse.The episode closes with Staats Cotsworth as Casey, Crime Photographer, in "A Tooth For a Tooth" by Charles Holden. Rewrite man Henry Brower confesses a premonition of his own death and admits that a man named Renat — no licensed dentist, but a self-described research scientist on River Road — filled his teeth for free to test a new metal. Brower vanishes that night, and Lieutenant Logan writes him off as a debtor who skipped town. Casey recognizes the shape of a Colorado cattleman's case from 1931, and a bartender's habit of spelling words backward hands him the name he needs.
