Today, we are going to take quite the ride. What is the connection between Samson's hair and baptism? Samson's hair is symbolic of the connection he has with God; it is the symbol of the covenant that his parents made with God and that he (by and large) kept.  So, the hair was not the “thing,” but it was the outward sign of “thing.”  In the same way, our wedding rings are that visible symbol and reminder of our wedding vows; his hair is that. And for us, as Christians, our baptism is that exact same thing. Remember your baptism.

L'animateur Nicolas souligne d'emblée le paradoxe central de cette discussion : bien que ces experts conseillent quotidiennement leurs clients sur les meilleures pratiques de sécurité, ils admettent volontiers ne pas toujours appliquer ces recommandations dans leur vie personnelle. Cette conversation virtuelle rassemble des professionnels aux parcours variés : Vincent Milette (gestionnaire chez Air Canada), Guillaume Ross (expert en sécurité avec plus de 20 ans d'expérience), Samuel Harper (journaliste spécialisé), Dominique Derrier (consultant en cybersécurité), Catherine Dupont-Gagnon (spécialiste en sensibilisation), Alexandre Fournier (expert en continuité d'activité), Stéphane Laberge (professionnel chevronné) et Andréanne Bergeron (professeure associée à l'Université de Montréal). Les approches personnelles de la sécurité Vincent Milette : l'approche pragmatique Vincent adopte une perspective d'affaires même dans sa vie personnelle. Il privilégie la praticité et évite les solutions trop contraignantes qui pourraient affecter la flexibilité de sa famille. Sa stratégie repose sur la diversification : plusieurs navigateurs selon les contextes, utilisation de VPN pour certaines activités spécifiques, et adaptation aux besoins d'une famille où les niveaux techniques varient considérablement. Guillaume Ross : l'expert prudent mais réaliste Guillaume se distingue par sa rigueur concernant les mises à jour système et les sauvegardes. Il maintient un chiffrement systématique de ses données, qu'elles soient locales ou dans le cloud. Cependant, il avoue ne pas utiliser de VPN par paranoïa du WiFi public, préférant s'appuyer sur le chiffrement TLS généralisé. Son approche révèle une contradiction intéressante : parfois, trop de sécurité peut créer des vulnérabilités, comme il l'illustre avec l'anecdote de ses trois appareils dans le même sac contenant son gestionnaire de mots de passe. Samuel Harper : le journaliste pragmatique En tant que journaliste d'enquête, Samuel présente un cas d'usage particulier. Il utilise des VPN principalement pour ses recherches sur des infrastructures suspectes et maintient des comptes séparés pour ses investigations. Il souligne la difficulté pratique de maintenir un anonymat total, notamment concernant les numéros de téléphone anonymes, et prône une approche équilibrée entre sécurité et sanité mentale. Les autres approches Dominique se décrit comme “pourri” dans son obsec personnel malgré ses conseils professionnels. Catherine révèle les défis liés à son passé en marketing, où elle a construit une présence numérique importante avant de s'intéresser à la cybersécurité. Andréanne propose une philosophie intéressante : éviter la paranoïa excessive tout en maintenant une cohérence entre discours et pratique. Les anecdotes révélatrices L'incident de Catherine : un cas d'école de sécurité physique Catherine partage une anecdote particulièrement instructive de l'époque où elle animait un canal Twitch. En annonçant publiquement ses déplacements vers un café spécifique et en diffusant depuis son appartement avec une fenêtre visible, elle a involontairement fourni assez d'informations pour qu'un spectateur déduise son adresse exacte. Cette histoire illustre parfaitement comment l'ingénierie sociale et l'agrégation d'informations apparemment anodines peuvent compromettre la sécurité personnelle. Les désastres de sauvegarde Plusieurs participants partagent leurs expériences de pertes de données. Nicolas raconte avoir perdu des machines complètes à cause de clés de chiffrement perdues, tandis qu'Alexandre évoque sa “formation” précoce à l'importance des sauvegardes après avoir accidentellement supprimé des répertoires entiers sur un mainframe militaire, affectant 200 personnes passant un examen. La sécurité physique versus numérique La discussion révèle une dichotomie intéressante entre sécurité numérique et physique. Andréanne avoue une obsession pour la sécurité physique, cachant ses équipements dans des “pièces secrètes” et utilisant des leurres, contrastant avec son approche décontractée de la cybersécurité. Cette différence d'approche soulève des questions sur la perception des menaces et leur hiérarchisation. Les participants abordent également les défis pratiques des voyages : où laisser son passeport, comment gérer les appareils électroniques, l'utilisation des coffres-forts d'hôtel (généralement considérés comme peu fiables), et les précautions à prendre aux frontières. Les outils et leur utilisation Gestionnaires de mots de passe La conversation révèle des approches variées concernant les gestionnaires de mots de passe. Alors que la plupart utilisent des solutions classiques, Andréanne se distingue en utilisant un algorithme mental personnel pour générer ses mots de passe. Dominique utilise trois voûtes différentes selon le niveau de sensibilité des comptes. VPN et WiFi public Les avis divergent considérablement sur l'utilité des VPN. Guillaume argue que le chiffrement TLS généralisé rend les VPN moins critiques pour le WiFi public, tandis que d'autres les utilisent pour des cas spécifiques. La discussion souligne l'importance de comprendre la menace réelle plutôt que de suivre aveuglément des recommandations génériques. Passkeys et nouvelles technologies Les participants sont généralement optimistes concernant les passkeys, avec Sony PlayStation citée comme exemple positif d'implémentation, malgré des défis de récupération complexes. L'adoption reste limitée par la fragmentation entre les écosystèmes (Google, Apple, Microsoft). La fatigue sécuritaire et l'expérience utilisateur Un thème central émerge : la fatigue sécuritaire. Trop de mesures de sécurité peuvent conduire à l'abandon ou à des pratiques moins sûres. Les participants soulignent l'importance de l'expérience utilisateur dans l'adoption des bonnes pratiques. Les exemples incluent les sites bloquant le copier-coller de mots de passe, les demandes répétitives d'authentification, et les interfaces mal conçues qui poussent les utilisateurs vers des solutions moins sécurisées. Signal et la communication sécurisée La discussion sur “Signalgate” illustre les limites des outils de communication sécurisée. Signal offre un excellent chiffrement de bout en bout, mais ne protège pas contre les mauvaises pratiques d'utilisation ou les compromissions d'appareils. Les participants soulignent l'importance de comprendre ce que chaque outil protège réellement versus ce qu'il ne protège pas. Les menaces modernes et l'évaluation des risques Au-delà du hacker traditionnel Les participants identifient des menaces souvent négligées : la manipulation par la publicité ciblée, l'exploitation des données par des courtiers légitimes, et l'utilisation de ces informations par les forces de l'ordre sans mandat. Samuel souligne que cette collecte légale de données personnelles représente souvent une menace plus concrète que les cyberattaques traditionnelles. L'exemple des employés nord-coréens La discussion aborde le phénomène des employés nord-coréens infiltrant des entreprises occidentales, illustrant comment les processus de vérification d'identité pour les employés distants sont souvent moins rigoureux que ceux appliqués aux clients. Évolutions technologiques et perspectives Les participants notent plusieurs améliorations positives : 99% des connexions Chrome utilisent maintenant TLS, les gestionnaires de mots de passe sont intégrés dans les systèmes d'exploitation, et le chiffrement devient standard. Cependant, des défis persistent, notamment les paramètres par défaut souvent inadéquats et la complexité de maintenance de certaines solutions. Réflexions sur l'industrie et l'éducation La conversation révèle une autocritique de l'industrie de la sécurité : les experts reconnaissent leur difficulté à communiquer efficacement avec le grand public. Les conseils sont souvent trop techniques, contradictoires, ou inadaptés au modèle de menace réel des utilisateurs moyens. L'exemple du “carnet de mots de passe” illustre cette déconnexion : universellement critiqué par les experts, il peut pourtant être la solution la plus sécurisée pour certains utilisateurs. Conclusion Ce 600e épisode de Policesécure offre une perspective rafraîchissante et honnête sur la sécurité personnelle. En admettant leurs propres failles et contradictions, ces experts humanisent les défis de la cybersécurité. Leur message principal est clair : l'évaluation du risque doit précéder toute mesure de sécurité. Il ne s'agit pas d'atteindre la perfection sécuritaire, mais de trouver un équilibre praticable entre protection et fonctionnalité. La discussion souligne l'importance de contextualiser les conseils de sécurité selon le profil de menace réel de chaque individu, plutôt que d'appliquer une approche universelle. Elle met également en lumière les défis persistants de l'industrie pour rendre la sécurité accessible et compréhensible pour tous, tout en évitant la fatigue sécuritaire qui peut paradoxalement réduire le niveau de protection global.

We see more of Sampson's story today, and we encounter a theme that will remain constant throughout his life. Sampson lives recklessly. He lives out of control. The Lord is able to use him, yes, and even the most out-of-control life can be used by God. But Sampson lives totally out of control. He breaks the law, he makes his parents unclean, he is prideful, he is cocky, he lives in a way that is destructive to him and to others. Today, what are you living for?  How are you living?  Are you living controlled, or are you totally out of control?  Let us be careful today, how we live.

Today, we see the birth of Sampson. The angel who comes to his family tells them that Sampson is to be a nazirite.  He is to be set apart, no unclean food, no wine, no haircuts. He is to be different from all his neighbors. To be holy is to be set apart. As Christians, especially those of us from the Wesleyan family, holiness is our purpose. But we are to always remember that holiness is not so much focused on actions, but it is focused on love; loving God and Neighbor. What has often been called perfect love. That love of God, shed abroad in our heart, driving us from sin and pushing us to God.

We have seen a lot of stories thus far of well-known judges. Gideon's story took chapters. But today, we see the story of three individual judges that takes about seven verses.  We don't know much about them. We don't know their stories. We don't know what they did right or what they did wrong. All we know is that they were faithful. That's all we can be.  We can't compare ourselves to others, to their stories, to what they do. All we can do is be faithful.  If we are faithful in who we are and who God has called us to be, that is all we can do. God will take care of the rest.

“I would encourage you, as I do if you're an actor, to know your own equipment, know your own psychology, and use the great teachers that are synthesized in my favorite teacher's book, Moss, who I studied with later. There is a book called Intent to Live that distills down Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Bobby Lewis, and Stanislavski. The great teachers at the Group Theatre believed that the method needed to be altered to be constructive rather than destructive to artists.David Milch's mind is so singular because he uses language in a way that defines character. That's what all good writers do: use language to get to the heart of something. He would use malapropisms to make up words, and Milch loved playing with that. As someone who played the love interest of such a unique character as Andy Sipowicz, I found it fascinating.Through Sylvia and David Milch's understanding, his wife humanized him. Sipowicz was portrayed as an addict, a very flawed human who had many addictions. David Milch is now suffering from Alzheimer's, so we won't get his words again. However, the words that he has to offer are timeless because he studied Robert Penn Warren and had many mentors throughout his vast literary education. That is key. I love speaking Noël Coward's words. As a bon vivant, he wrote musically, to charm us and amuse us. So going and reading Noël Coward is important for actors to learn those cadences and the musicality of a certain era. Of course, Shakespeare comes to mind. I also think of the female playwrights who delight me now, whether it's Caryl Churchill. She has that singular mind and plays with gender so well, challenging gender norms. Seeing ‘Cloud Nine' when I was in college blew my mind open because men were playing women and women were playing men. Of course, Shakespeare was doing it too, but her work felt more intimate; it was in a small theater. That's another thing I encourage actors and audiences to do: go see things in small theaters. See it up close because that will excite you and help you learn the craft.”Sharon Lawrence is an acclaimed actress best known for her Emmy-nominated, SAG Award-winning role as ADA Sylvia Costas on NYPD Blue.

Today, we looked at a story about the warfare among the tribes, but it was so much more than that. We see the concept of a “Shibboleth.”  This is a word that certain tribes could not pronounce correctly, thus revealing their true identity. The concept of Shibboleth is a way to know if something is “true” or not. What is your Shibboleth of who is a Christian? We'll talk today about some historic markers that make one a Christian, and we'll talk today about some words that Jesus had to say.

Stranded without backup, they must survive against the cunning Spinosaurus—the film's signature apex predator—and evade deadly packs of Velociraptors. Along the way, they're joined by resourceful hunter Billy Brennan (Alessandro Nivola, Face/Off, American Hustle) and reunited with Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern, Jurassic Park, Big Little Lies), whose quick thinking saves the group from collapsing cliffs and the iconic raptor-in-the-aviary ambush. Don't miss the nail-biting river raft sequence where the Spinosaurus attacks from below, and the lore-expanding finale as Grant and Kirby use a decoy T. rex to outwit their monstrous pursuer. Greg & Tara break down every heart-pounding set-piece—from the aerial crate drop and raptor pen breakout to the jungle-clearing showdown—analyzing how Jurassic Park III balances nonstop thrills with nods to Spielberg's legacy.

“That transformation was key to my next step as an artist, to knowing that's what acting is. It isn't just posing; it isn't just being a version of yourself in a way that was free. Performing wasn't just performing; it was transforming. I think that artists find that in many different ways, and as actors, there are many ways into that.I would encourage you, as I do if you're an actor, to know your own equipment, know your own psychology, and use the great teachers that are synthesized in my favorite teacher's book, Moss, who I studied with later. There is a book called Intent to Live that distills down Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Bobby Lewis, and Stanislavski. The great teachers at the Group Theatre believed that the method needed to be altered to be constructive rather than destructive to artists.David Milch's mind is so singular because he uses language in a way that defines character. That's what all good writers do: use language to get to the heart of something. He would use malapropisms to make up words, and Milch loved playing with that. As someone who played the love interest of such a unique character as Andy Sipowicz, I found it fascinating.Through Sylvia and David Milch's understanding, his wife humanized him. Sipowicz was portrayed as an addict, a very flawed human who had many addictions. David Milch is now suffering from Alzheimer's, so we won't get his words again. However, the words that he has to offer are timeless because he studied Robert Penn Warren and had many mentors throughout his vast literary education. That is key. I love speaking Noël Coward's words. As a bon vivant, he wrote musically, to charm us and amuse us. So going and reading Noël Coward is important for actors to learn those cadences and the musicality of a certain era. Of course, Shakespeare comes to mind. I also think of the female playwrights who delight me now, whether it's Caryl Churchill. She has that singular mind and plays with gender so well, challenging gender norms. Seeing ‘Cloud Nine' when I was in college blew my mind open because men were playing women and women were playing men. Of course, Shakespeare was doing it too, but her work felt more intimate; it was in a small theater. That's another thing I encourage actors and audiences to do: go see things in small theaters. See it up close because that will excite you and help you learn the craft.”Sharon Lawrence is an acclaimed actress best known for her Emmy-nominated, SAG Award-winning role as ADA Sylvia Costas on NYPD Blue.

Alex Kane is a fiercely inventive guitarist, songwriter, and musical visionary whose career has spanned decades and continents. Best known for his work with bands like Life Sex & Death, Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg, Antiproduct, and Enuff Z'Nuff, Kane is one of rock's true cult heroes—a player whose style fuses punk ferocity, glam flamboyance, metal precision, and a sense of showmanship that feels equal parts Ziggy Stardust and Sid Vicious.Born in Chicago, Alex Kane grew up soaking in a wild mix of musical influences—from KISS and The Sex Pistols to Cheap Trick and Queen. He picked up the guitar early and soon developed a sound that combined attitude with technical flair. His Chicago roots also gave him a gritty, no-nonsense approach that would become a signature element of his music.Life, Sex & Death (L.S.D.)Kane first gained national attention in the early '90s as the guitarist and primary songwriter for the controversial and utterly unique band Life Sex & Death. Known for blending sleaze-rock with raw punk energy and philosophical lyrics, the band featured a homeless-savant frontman named Stanley, who became a kind of underground legend.Their debut album, The Silent Majority (1992), released on Warner Bros., drew critical acclaim and cult fascination. Songs like “Tank,” “School's for Fools,” and “Jawohl Asshole” were full of snarling riffs, sharp social commentary, and theatrical swagger. Though commercial success was elusive, the band's live shows and Kane's explosive playing style left a lasting mark on the rock underground.Post-LSD & AntiproductAfter the dissolution of L.S.D., Kane relocated to the UK and co-founded Antiproduct, a glam-punk power-pop explosion that further stretched his musical boundaries. Antiproduct quickly developed a rabid UK fan base with their high-energy shows and outrageous visual style.Their album Consume and Die… The Rest Is All Fun showcased Kane's diverse influences—from Ramones-speed punk to Beatles-style melody—wrapped in crunchy guitars and rebellious hooks. The band was hailed in the British press as a breath of fresh air, and they toured relentlessly with artists like The Wildhearts and Wednesday 13.Collaborations & Side ProjectsAlex Kane is known for his prolific collaborations. He played guitar with Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg, joining the punk legend for international tours and celebrating the legacy of The Ramones with thunderous authenticity. His stage presence and aggressive playing perfectly matched the spirit of the punk classics.Kane has also worked with an array of artists across genres including Pretty Boy Floyd, Richie Ramone, and Shameless, and has guested on countless albums. A fearless player, he's comfortable shredding on heavy metal tracks, laying down sleazy glam riffs, or playing melodic hooks with pop sensibility.Enuff Z'Nuff & Recent WorkIn recent years, Kane returned to his Chicago roots and joined Enuff Z'Nuff for several tours, bringing a harder-edged guitar vibe to the band's power-pop and psychedelic-tinged catalog. His addition reinvigorated the band's sound onstage, and his chemistry with Chip Z'Nuff made him a fan-favorite during live shows.Kane also continues to produce, write, and record solo material. His sharp wit, eclectic taste, and raw energy continue to push creative boundaries. He's known for mentoring young musicians and remaining fiercely independent in an industry often driven by trends and compromise.LegacyAlex Kane's legacy is one of rebellion, craft, and fearless creativity. He's not just a guitar player—he's a musical mischief-maker and a genre-blending explorer. While he may have flown under the mainstream radar, those who know Kane's work recognize him as one of the most exciting and original rock guitarists of his generation.https://www.instagram.com/alexfuckingkane?igsh=MTV1OWhuaGt1NWNlbA==

Jephthah is always one of the more interesting stories in the Bible to me. He is a judge who makes a hasty vow that comes at a great cost to his daughter.  This is a cautionary tale to us to be careful of promises and vows. I was raised to take very seriously my promise, and if I promise something, I mean it.  Our vows to God matter.  Let me be clear, Jephthah is no hero in vows.

We see the Israelites fall into sin and slavery again today.  We take a few moments to unpack again what idolatry truly is.  It is not a golden calf on top of the TV, or some pagan pole in our backyard. It is the thing that we give our allegiance and security to, other than God. What is the thing, other than the Lord, that we trust in? That is where our idol is.  But then, we see the Lord, when the people repented, free them. We truly do not understand the depth of the Father's love for us.  You loved today.  Never forget that.

Inside Shameless Care: Revolutionizing Sexual Health Testing shamelesscare.com About the Guest(s): Robert Johnson is the founder of Shameless Care, a pioneering telemedicine company that specializes in delivering sexual healthcare tailored for real-life needs. After a personal experience with an STI test failing to detect an infection, Robert launched Shameless Care to offer comprehensive and judgment-free telemedicine services. His company focuses on thorough STI testing, inclusive of all potential infection sites, and has been leading efforts in providing honest and accessible sexual health resources. Robert's background is steeped in entrepreneurship and he is dedicated to improving healthcare by addressing gaps in traditional testing methods. Episode Summary: In this episode of The Chris Voss Show, listeners embark on an informative journey into the world of telemedicine and sexual health with Robert Johnson, founder of Shameless Care. Highlighted by enlightening anecdotes and expert insights, the conversation navigates through the complexities of STI testing, the rise of telemedicine, and how these innovations are transforming the landscape of sexual healthcare. This episode shines a light on the crucial importance of thorough STI testing, addressing often-overlooked aspects such as oral and anal infection sites that remain asymptomatic and consequently contribute to the spread of infections. Throughout the discussion, Robert Johnson emphasizes Shameless Care's commitment to enhancing sexual health through patient transparency and comprehensive service offerings. With the increasing prevalence of STIs, Robert argues for greater awareness and proactive measures, dispelling myths and shedding light on underrepresented issues within sexual healthcare. This conversation also touches upon societal and technological shifts influencing sexual behavior and healthcare, including how telemedicine is paving new pathways for privacy and honesty in patient-doctor interactions. Through engaging dialogue, the episode underscores the transformative impact and potential of telemedicine in creating a world where sexual health is accessible and stigma-free. Key Takeaways: Comprehensive STI Testing: Shameless Care stands out for its rigorous testing of 14 STIs, including often-neglected sites like the throat and anal areas, which can harbor infections asymptomatically. Privacy and Transparency in Telemedicine: The telemedicine model permits patients to discuss their health issues openly and without judgment, ensuring more accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatments. Prevalence of Asymptomatic Cases: Many STIs present without symptoms; thus, regular and thorough testing is essential for prevention and control. Innovations in Sexual Healthcare: Products like topical Viagra for women and Doxy PEP pills exemplify emerging solutions targeted at enhancing sexual health and prevention.

Topics covered : Mental health, homophobia, same-sex marriage referendum in Ireland, rejecting shame. This week marks 10 years of the marriage equality referendum in Ireland when the country overwhelmingly voted 'yes' and in doing so became the first country in the world to grant equal marriage rights to same-sex couples by popular vote.3 years ago I spoke to bar owner, drag queen and activist, Rory O'Neill aka Panti Bliss.Originally from Ballinrobe in Mayo, Rory lives in Dublin city with his husband Anderson and their dog Penny.We spoke in late February 2022 and at times there is an eerie poignancy to our conversation as it happened as Covid restrictions were being lifted here in Ireland, but before the invasion of Ukraine.In this conversation we speak about his now iconic Noble call in the Abbey Theatre and the events which led to it, he speaks about the impact the pandemic had on him, the freedom his alter ego Panti gives him, how he rejects shame of any kind and how he would like to be remembered.

In this epysode of Vinyl Relics, we dig into the raw, reverb-soaked world of Lonnie Mack's 1963 debut album, The Wham of that Memphis Man! A trailblazing blend of rock, blues, country, and soul, this record helped shape the sound of electric guitar in the decades to follow. From the iconic instrumental “Wham!” to Mack's soulful vocals on tracks like “Where There's a Will”, this epysode explores how the album became a touchstone for guitar legends and a cult favorite among collectors.

In this electric Shameless Sex episode, BDSM mastermind Orpheus Black returns to decode the art of the Switch—the deliciously fluid player who can dominate, submit, and glide between the two with swagger and grace. Whether you suspect a Switch lives inside you or you're already toggling roles but want more skill (and less whiplash), this conversation hands you the roadmap. What you'll learn before the flogger even warms up:   • Switch 101: how Orpheus defines Dominance, submission, and the magic zone where they meet.   • The “Am I a Switch?” checklist—desires, tells, and green-flag feelings to watch for.   • Rookie rules: scene negotiation, consent choreography, and aftercare when both partners' needs flip.   • Level-up tactics: pacing power exchanges, reading energy shifts, and avoiding the dreaded role-confusion hangover.   • Lifestyle vs. play-only switching—how to keep everyday power dynamics healthy (and brunch-friendly).   • The Ultimate Switch toolkit: mindset exercises, communication hacks, and ego elasticity drills straight from Orpheus's playbook.   • Where to dive deeper with workshops, coaching, and community at orpheusblack.com. Why your ears—and every other hotspot—will celebrate:   • Turn role-hopping chaos into confident, consensual choreography.   • Upgrade your communication skills faster than you can say “Yellow for a check-in.”   • Amplify intimacy by understanding both sides of the whip—empathy is the new aphrodisiac.   • Walk away with practical tools you can use tonight, not “someday.” Think you can't have it all? Press play and let Orpheus show you how to claim the crown, kneel before it, and relish every switch in between. Dare to double your power? Tune in now.

Novelist, curator, humanitarian, conscious business leader and modern mystic Renee Blodgett has lived multiple lives in one. Having traveled around the world, she has plenty of stories, from riding elephants in the Indian jungle and photographing polar bears in northern Canada to teaching English in Kenya, exploring glaciers in Iceland and selling kilims in Turkey. She has lived in eleven countries, including South Africa during Apartheid and the Gaza Strip.  Her multicultural background and years of experience as a communications strategist have led to a career of uplifting others through content, speaking, coaching and leading. Known as a master of storytelling, she has written for several magazines and networks and her own award-winning online travel magazine, We Blog the World, which reaches over half a million globally.   Renee has launched award-winning campaigns for start-ups and Fortune 500 brands for nearly thirty years and has appeared as a spokesperson on major network broadcast stations and global business media. Renee has worked with celebrities, actors, Grammy Award musicians and renowned technology entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, Europe, Australia and Asia.    Feeling that soul was missing from the industry, she launched Blue Soul Media, which serves as a bridge between Spirit and Business. Today, she helps women step into their authentic voices and embrace a life that aligns with their soul's calling. Additionally, she teaches about consciousness with her partner and they lead retreats and membership programs focusing on heart-centered living, universal consciousness, masculine and feminine balance, and the connection to our human existence's inherent beauty and power.  Their bestselling book Magdalene's Journey encourages people to rethink our patriarchal-dictated history through the eyes of a pivotal woman. She feels that our traditional conditioning in the West, especially through Abrahamic religions, has led to women feeling shame around sex, their bodies and sensuality and, as a result, a loss of empowerment.  She is also the host of her own podcast Blue Soul CHATS podcast  and the Blue Soul Summit video series, where she has interviewed nearly a hundred visionaries.
