The State Department has released a reorganization plan that would usher in significant changes to the way the United States conducts its diplomacy and foreign assistance, at a time of considerable geopolitical change. Proposals by the Trump administration include eliminating or restructuring a number of the Department's longstanding functions, dissolving and/or folding USAID into State, and imposing large budget and staffing cuts. Debates over how to structure and optimize the State Department, and U.S. foreign assistance programs in particular, are nothing new. But important questions remain about these proposals—including how they may interact with Congressional prerogatives; their implications for the conduct of U.S. foreign policy amidst compounding global crises; and, ultimately, whether these changes may herald a more streamlined and effective bureaucracy or undermine U.S. diplomatic power.On May 14, 2025, the Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security convened an expert panel to consider these vitally important developments and to unpack what's happening, what's at stake, and what lies ahead. Show Notes: Dani Schulkin, Tess Bridgeman, and Andrew Miller's “What Just Happened: The Trump Administration's Reorganization of the State Department – and How We Got Here” Ambassador Daniel Fried's “The US Government's Self-Harm in Killing RFE/RL” and “Is the U.S. Abandoning the Fight Against Foreign Information Operations?” Hon.

Send us a textTattoo needles aren't just tools for self-expression—they can be instruments of profound healing. Kelsie Shriver, owner of Luminary Tattoo in Lincoln, Nebraska, demonstrates this transformative power through her work covering self-harm scars and mastectomy sites with beautiful artwork.Drawing from eight years of tattoo experience and her background as a portrait artist, Kelsie offers affordable $50 flat-rate cover-up sessions for self-harm survivors—services that would normally cost around $600. What began as a simple TikTok offer blossomed into something greater when community members like her neighbor Dan stepped up to sponsor free sessions. "It gives people an option to rewrite their story," Kelsie explains, shifting the narrative from painful memories to artistic expression.The conversation delves deeply into understanding self-harm as a maladaptive coping mechanism for overwhelming emotions, where physical pain temporarily drowns out emotional suffering. For those carrying these visible reminders, daily life becomes a minefield of unwanted questions and judgments that perpetuate shame and isolation. Through Kelsie's compassionate approach, clients transform these painful markers into conversation pieces of their choosing—beautiful images that celebrate resilience rather than trauma. Beyond self-harm work, Kelsie also creates 3D nipple tattoos for mastectomy patients, marking celebratory final steps in cancer recovery journeys. Here are the details for the scar cover-up.“The $50 scar coverup offer will be a monthly drawing, where a name will be drawn out of a hat for that month after signing up via email. To enter for the drawing, please email shriver.kelsie.tattoos@gmail.com with the subject line “Scar Covers”. Ideally, this will be a 4 hour tattoo or less, retail-valued at $600, and is only for one day of tattooing. Winners will be notified via email and have 3 days to reply with the requested information to schedule.”If you're struggling with thoughts of self-harm, contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by phone or text. And if you're ready to transform your scars into something beautiful, artists like Kelsie stand ready to help you reclaim your story. Share this episode with someone who might benefit from hearing that healing comes in many forms—sometimes through art permanently etched on the skin.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network.

We discuss ways we isolate and how to slowly emerge to re-engage with the world around us.

Over 500 people are expected to take part in the Darkness Into Light walk this Saturday, as Luxembourg joins a global movement to raise awareness about suicide prevention and mental health. The event, which begins at 5 a.m. in Luxembourg City, invites participants to walk from darkness into sunrise as a symbolic gesture of hope and solidarity for those affected by suicide and mental health challenges. Louise and Claire joined the Breakfast Show to talk more about the event as it enters its 8th edition locally. Darkness Into Light originated in Ireland in 2009 and has since spread across five continents, drawing more than 150,000 participants worldwide each year. The Luxembourg edition continues to grow, with returning participants and new walkers of all ages, including families and young people volunteering as stewards. The walk is designed not only to show support for those impacted by suicide but also to reduce stigma and promote open conversations around mental health. This year's event is held in partnership with three local mental health charities: SOS Detresse, Kanner Jugend Telefon and Ligue Sante Mentale. Representatives from each organisation will be on site to offer information, support and a listening ear. Participants are encouraged to arrive by 4:45 a.m. at the Omnisports Hall in Luxembourg City. The route covers approximately five kilometers through the city, with accessibility options available for those who need them. After the walk, refreshments will be served and attendees will have the opportunity to connect with support services. Registration is open on www.darknessintolight.ie SOS Detresse https://454545.lu/ Kanner Jugend Telefon https://www.kjt.lu/de/ Ligue Sante Mentale http://www.llhm.lu/

Thank you, Maggie, for your courage, your artistry, and your commitment to helping others find light through darkness.You Will Learn:Why self-harm isn't just a teenage issue—and why adult experiences deserve more attention.How childhood trauma and high achievement can intertwine with self-destructive coping mechanisms.Why embracing all parts of ourselves, even the ones we fear, can lead to lasting healing.Call for Entries:Are you a woman who used solo travel to heal or increase resilience after the age of 40?

In this episode, I explore suicide prevention not from the edge of crisis, but from the quiet places where meaning begins to erode—often, first thing in the morning. I share a personal reflection on how dopamine, novelty, and connection shape our sense of aliveness, and how a simple morning practice I call CALM—Check in, Activate, Learn, Make connection—can be a lifeline. This isn't a conversation about fixing everything. It's about staying.

Fifty years ago there was little or no knowledge among teenagers about eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. In today's image-obsessed and social-media saturated world, the great majority of our kids not only stress over their appearance, but many are struggling with body dysmorphia, which is defined as a mental health condition in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance. New data from a study of thirty-nine-thousand adolescents ages fourteen to eighteen reports that the dominant factor raising the risk of self-harm, including suicide, is one's perception regarding their weight. Our kids are being hammered by a constant diet of marketing images and social media posts which leave them feeling inadequate and less than. As Christian parents, we must affirm their standing as loved divine-image bearers, emphasizing the fact that God looks on the inside, not the outside. Our identity is not to be found in appearance.

Freshly returned from a working trip to the US and Europe, Dr Frans Cronjé is not surprised to see IRR polling puts the DA ahead of the ANC. it's a consequence, he says, of Luthuli House's penchant for scoring own goals. In this interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg, SA's leading political analyst explains how ANC blunders on the VAT increase and the relationship with the USA are akin to conscious self-harm.

In this episode of the BizNews Briefing, Dr Frans Cronjé provides context on the ANC's popularity plunge that's taken it below the DA - and an update on how Washington is viewing SA (and ‘special envoy' Mcebisi Jonas); Apple's share price jumps after the iPhone maker is granted exemption from the 145% tariff on Chinese imports; plus more implications of the Trump Tariffs locally and globally as China launches a charm offensive in South East Asia.

Discovering that your child is self-harming is understandably fear- inducing for any parent. Drawing on Bowen family systems theory, PHP invites parents to consider first how they are responding when safety fears are raised – rather than focusing on the details of the self-harm and diagnoses.In this podcast Jenny Brown interviews leading Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr Annemaree Bickerton about parenting when a child is self-harming. They cover some of these questions:What are the different ways parents might respond to a child's cutting?How can we make sense of young people's self-harm? What do you think it helps for parents to be aware of?How can parents contribute to a child's safety without removing their child's agency?What are your thoughts on helpful parent and young person conversations about suicide risks?Previous podcast with Annemaree Bickerton:https://parenthopeproject.com.au/podcasts/staying-connected-when-emotions-run-high/To watch the video mentioned – This is an excellent resource!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_B61YifyrMTo read about the safety first model https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/anzf.1055for more papers: https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Annemaree-Bickerton-28411169Dr Bickerton is the co-developer of the training: STAYING CONNECTED WHEN EMOTIONS RUN HIGH.Upcoming Workshops:https://www.islhd.health.nsw.gov.au/services-clinics/family-and-carer-mental-health-program-0/staying-connected-when-emotions-run-highNewsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter Youtube-http://www.youtube.com/@ParentHopeProject Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/coachingparents Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/parenthopeproject/ LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/79093727/admin/feed/posts/ Website-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/ Contact us: Contact@parentproject.com.au (02) 9904 5600

The root cause of America's economic imbalances can be traced to a single factor: the strength of the US dollar. At least, that's the view of Stephen Miran, President Trump's newly appointed Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors.In an essay published late last year, Miran argued that the dollar's strength, driven by inelastic demand for Treasuries and the dollar's status as a global reserve currency, has resulted in persistently cheap imports, reduced the competitiveness of its exports, eroded US manufacturing, and resulted in soaring deficits.His answer to this problem is a so-called Mar-a-Lago Accord, where trading partners would sell dollars and US Treasuries from their FX reserves or face higher tariffs and the removal of security guarantees.But is an overvalued dollar really to blame for America's financial problems? Would trading partners agree to the plan? And what could it mean for the US markets?  In this podcast, ING's Chris Turner and Padhraic Garvey explain why they think the plan would be counterproductive and fraught with risk.

The idea of the “lone wolf” and the “alpha” is often misunderstood—both in nature and in life.

"I was just born sponge-y," Jaye told Renée, explaining her exquisite sensitivities. These sensitivities made for a challenging childhood, one that would have been difficult for any child given Jaye's emotionally neglectful and conflict-ridden home. Now a 37 year-old therapist in the UK, Jaye has healed many of her old wounds, but there are still some pain points that traditional therapy has not addressed. Specifically, Jaye struggles with boundary setting, is plagued by persistently negative self-talk, and finds herself regularly "trodden on" by others; she comes to the show hoping Renée can answer the age-old question: Is it me or is it them? On the way to an answer, the two women discuss wonky diagnoses, ego responses, neurodivergence, and more. Ultimately, Renée gets to the root of the problems, and Jaye provides a compelling narrative thanks to her sharp intelligence and dry Virgo wit - and, extra bonus: her accent is like buttah.Support the show
