Podcasts about Silence

As millions of emails and thousands of photos released by the U.S. Department of Justice circulate globally, a long-suppressed reckoning is gathering force across Europe. This video examines how Jeffrey Epstein's network intersected with business leaders, politicians, academics, and royalty—and why questions about judgment, accountability, and moral failure are now being asked with renewed intensity. This is not a trial, but an inquest: into power, access, and the culture that allowed a convicted sex offender to move so freely among the global elite. With police interest reportedly growing and reputations on the line, the Epstein story is no longer just about one man—it's about the systems and people who enabled him, ignored warning signs, or looked the other way. Independent media has never been more important.

What if conflict is not a sign that something is wrong, but proof that something matters, and we were never taught how to handle it?In this eye-opening episode of Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with Kimberly Best, RN, MA, a mediator and conflict management expert who spent years in critical care before dedicating her career to helping people navigate the conversations they avoid most.Kimberly explains why conflict is normal, why silence often causes more damage than honesty, and how emotional regulation and curiosity can completely change outcomes in marriage, parenting, divorce, and the workplace. Drawing from lived experience, mediation practice, and deep compassion, this conversation reframes conflict as a skill set problem rather than a people problem and offers practical tools listeners can use immediately.5 Key Takeaway → Conflict is normal and does not mean a relationship is broken → Silence and avoidance often cause more harm than difficult conversations → The person is not the problem. The problem is the problem → Emotions are information and learning to regulate them changes everything → Listening with curiosity creates better outcomes than trying to be rightQuotes from the Guest“The most important conversations are often the ones we are not having.”“Conflict is normal. We do not have people problems. We have a skill set problem."If you want to learn how to have hard conversations without damaging relationships, connect with Kimberly Best at bestconflictsolutions.com to explore her conflict management training, mediation services, and speaking programs.

Brady sits down with Danny Barreto of Airlock Industries to dig into what makes the Zero Gravity suppressors such a standout for hunters—especially when ounces, durability, and real-world performance all matter. Plus, the backstory on how he helped Brady rethink using a suppressor for hunting.They break down Airlock's engineering-first design philosophy—more time spent in development and testing, less time chasing flashy marketing hype—and what that means for backcountry hunters. From rifle setup and hearing protection to practical field considerations, this episode covers how to think about suppression as part of a complete hunting system. And Brady gets to the big question: why does Airlock seem to be everywhere so fast? If you've been curious about going suppressed for hunting (or you already do and want to nerd out on the why), this one's for you.Learn more about GOHUNT.Follow Brady on Instagram.Follow GOHUNT on Social Media:InstagramYouTube - Podcast ChannelYouTube - Main ChannelFacebook

This week, Steven Seidenberg is my guest, a photographer, philosopher, and writer whose work focuses on empty spaces, ordinary places, and the things most people pass by. His photographic books include The Architecture of Silence and Pipevalve: Berlin, and his work has been shown internationally, from Europe to the US and Japan. Alongside the photographs, he writes prose and poetry that explore similar themes, examining perception and what it means to truly notice what's in front of us. It's certainly one of our more thought-provoking conversations of late, as Steven even questions what a photograph actually is, if it's not a printed, tangible, tactile thing. From the mailbag, Andrew Larking writes about self-criticism, sharing a story that touches on depression and the instinct many of us have to try to push through it alone; Richard Rawlings writes about neurodiversity, and Jim Farmer reports on unexpected wildlife encounters that may or may not involve actual alligators a little too close to home! Also today, a chance to join in with a new community feature for 2026 called HERE AND THERE. Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily. WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here.

What if silence in your team meetings isn't just about shyness or lack of ideas, but something everyone's been taught—often unconsciously—to protect themselves or others? In this episode, I sit down with Elaine Lin Hering, a top facilitator, global educator, and author of “Unlearning Silence,” to dig into the roots of silence and how leaders can transform it into true engagement.As the conversation kicks off, we tackle a fundamental leadership dilemma: despite constant encouragement to “speak up,” people often hold back. Why? Elaine reveals it's not just about courage or confidence. Silence is a learned survival strategy, which is often shaped by culture, hierarchy, and even unconscious organizational habits. Her own story, growing up as the youngest daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, shows how silence sneaks in early and sticks.Throughout the episode, we explore questions relating to real-world challenges such as how can you create a safe space for candor when your “resting face” or demeanour sets the wrong tone? Or, why do team members only give feedback after a decision is finalized. Elaine offers evidence-informed and practical answers to these situations.The takeaway is clear: Strong leadership means recognizing that silence is not always golden—and that by unlearning it, we unlock deeper connection, better decisions, and a future not bound by the past. What You'll Learn- Silence is learned… and it's often unintentional.- Unlearning silence is an ongoing process.- Explicit clarity is critical for leaders.- How to reframe your view of your voice.- The mode and medium of communication matter.- What is obvious to you may be the insight someone else is looking for.Podcast Timestamps(00:03) - The Origins of Unlearning Silence(05:46) - The Process of Unlearning Silence(09:10) - Agency and the Value of Voice(15:59) - The RACI Framework(19:16) - How Communication Mode and Process Influence Voice(24:10) - Surfacing Feedback and Pre-Empting Silence(32:08) - Imposter Syndrome or Imposter Treatment?(41:47) - When Is Silence Golden?(46:52) - Explicitly Creating Psychological SafetyKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Self-Awareness, Feedback, Personal Growth, Leading with Intention, Unlearning silence, Employee Voice, Power Dynamics, Decision-Making Frameworks, RACI Model, Team Communication, Self-Silencing, Imposter Syndrome, Psychological Safety, Personal Growth, CEO Success

In this episode, we explore the strange signals people use to interpret global events, from Pentagon pizza orders and satellite data to the Big Mac Index and other unconventional measures of economic reality. We examine the decline of Google search, the rise of AI-powered alternatives, and why new tools are changing how people actually find information. For the “foolishness of the week”, we detail an unfortunate incident involving a piece of World War I artillery, before turning to a broader cultural debate about nostalgia for the 1950s. With guest Andrew Heaton, we unpack myths about work, gender roles, housing, healthcare, and prosperity, comparing mid-century life to modern standards of living. Along the way, we discuss food abundance, technological progress, wage compensation, inequality, and whether people genuinely want to return to the past or simply romanticize it from a distance. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:28 Pentagon Pizza Orders and “Pizza Intelligence” 02:51 Proxy Signals, Satellite Data, and the Waffle House Index 04:25 The Big Mac Index and Measuring Cost of Living 05:00 The Decline of Google Search and Sponsored Results 07:19 Switching Search Engines and the Myth of Google Monopoly 09:54 AI Search Tools and Why They Actually Work 11:28 Foolishness of the Week: World War I Artillery Incident 13:43 How Bad Ideas Escalate at Parties 15:51 Introducing Andrew Heaton 16:39 Was the 1950s a Time or a Place? 18:43 Economic Reality vs 1950s Nostalgia 20:58 Women's Work, Household Labor, and Misleading Myths 23:56 Food Costs, Eating Out, and Modern Abundance 25:46 Medicine, Lifespan, and Why 50s Healthcare Was Worse 27:57 Housing Size, Zoning, and the Cost of Homes 30:01 Cars, Air Conditioning, and Quality of Life Improvements 31:17 Mortgage Rates and Why Housing Feels Unaffordable Now 34:02 Manufacturing, Exports, and the “We Don't Make Anything” Myth 35:35 Agricultural Productivity and Modern Farming 37:19 Food Waste as a Measure of Prosperity 37:42 Great Depression Scarcity and Generational Habits 39:59 Transportation Costs and Higher Quality Modern Vehicles 42:50 Car Safety, Seatbelts, and Survival Rates 43:42 Wages, Benefits, and What “Compensation” Really Means 45:29 What the 1950s Actually Did Better 47:52 Inequality, Community, and Social Capital in the 50s 49:44 Technology, Isolation, and Choosing Modern Life 52:05 Longing for Silence from Technology 53:18 The Mythology of Happy Days Learn more about your ad choices.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today's episode is for the good kids—and the adults they became. I got to sit down with Maggie Nick, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, therapist and founder of Camp Lovable, whose new book, Good Kids: Why You Suffered in Silence and How to Break the Cycle, dives into what it really means to be a “good kid”—and how that label can come with a cost. We explored the nervous system responses behind compliance, how shame shows up for people-pleasers, and what happens when kids feel like they can't have needs. Maggie brings such warmth and clarity to topics like fawning, neuroception, boundaries, and the grief that can come with realizing how early we learned to silence ourselves. We also talk about raising our own kids in this awareness—how to stand beside them, not against them when they struggle—and what it looks like to break the cycle while still parenting with boundaries. If you've ever been the “easy one,” or you're raising a kid who gets praised for never rocking the boat… this one's for you. Alright folks, let's dive in.

Send us a text"They told us it was God's will... but it was actually a nightmare."In this episode of Surviving Ish, David sits down with Heather Ford for a conversation that is as raw as it is heartbreaking. Heather finally shares the full, unfiltered truth about her childhood spent inside a restrictive religious cult—from the "prayer closet" punishments to the dramatic escape that changed everything.But the nightmare didn't end when the cult did. Heather opens up about the trauma of the foster care system, her sister Nicole's tragic legacy, and her daily battle with OCD and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. This isn't just a story about trauma; it's a testament to the human spirit's ability to reclaim its voice. #CultSurvivor #TrueStory #ReligiousAbuse #SurvivingIsh #HeatherFord #FosterCareTrauma #OCDRecovery #EscapingACult #Documentary #InspirationalStories #FetalAlcoholSyndrome https://us.amazon.com/Barbie-Pink-Wall-Secrets-Abuse-ebook/dp/B0GHBX3DKB/ref=sr_1_6?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.B40aV9BxTb7HoES7zJtPedc4u26gb3CG9yEcO2sct43PS2swVqMDg08_d6Pi6j0qETTgYULzgdgPnDCfo0EcqjXVDxRS7CmkKQsBPxLCRs4PHV72TINB1s8R2N_3OW3vHOboSCGQ4WaL1Z26swR4-hXEef1NCusVrh35y0jVZSz4Lh-JGRuvDrJ1bYMQLS3JJ4E8UvRpqi2HHiLQRwYrQDslBVbPY6fPZIy3jiB8Uwg.x8aYmNj01XZ5JyRfzDCbC9jRirEb_HWAAeWT2pun3Sg&dib_tag=se&qid=1770077913&refinements=p_27%3AHeather+Ford&s=digital-text&sr=1-6Support the show

"One thing that's really interesting to me...is that one of our great cultural critics is Stephen King... the basically the first big review of Red Dragon in the I think it was in the Washington Post in 1981, and it is not only a rave, but it is completely 100 spot on. Red Dragon is like stepping into a limousine where everything works... perfectly."In this very special bonus episode of MINHUNTER, I speak to the extremely talented journalist, author and podcaster Brian Raftery about his great new novel, HANNIBAL LECTER - A LIFE. Synopsis: Drawing from exclusive interviews and previously unseen archival materials, this one-of-its-kind biography of Hannibal Lecter documents the cannibal's journey from terrifying villain to unexpectedly adored antihero.This unique biography traces the many lives and crimes of Hannibal Lecter: his disturbing debut in Thomas Harris's 1981 novel Red Dragon; his rise to infamy in beloved films like Michael Mann's Manhunter and Jonathan Demme's Academy Award–winning The Silence of the Lambs; and his unexpected comeback in the cult-hit TV series Hannibal. It also dives into the untold life and career of Harris, the secretive bestselling author whose passion for reporting, eye for grisly detail, and connections to the FBI helped birth not only Lecter, but also the modern true-crime genre. Along the way, Hannibal Lecter: A Life documents the many ways Lecter's rise reflected America's ever-growing obsession with real-life serial killers.Featuring all-new interviews with crucial figures from Lecter's past—including actor Brian Cox, director Mann, and former FBI special agent John Douglas—Hannibal Lecter: A Life is a deeply reported, wildly entertaining look at the making of one of the most beloved bad guys of all time.About Brian Raftery Brian Raftery's work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times, Wired, GQ, and The Ringer. He's the author of Best. Movie. Year. Ever.: How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen, and the host of multiple podcasts for the Ringer, including the acclaimed Gene & Roger.

Morning routines can become one more place we feel behind, especially when life shifts. In this episode, Michael and Megan talk with bestselling author Hal Elrod about The Miracle Morning After 50 (co-authored with aging expert Dwayne Clark). Along with the SAVERS basics (Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing) they explore the “after 50” focus on healthspan, purpose, flexibility, and overlooked free practices.Hal also shares the common derailers and how to rebuild momentum with small steps that stick. Whether you're in midlife or building sustainable habits now, this conversation will help you craft a morning ritual that fits real life and grows with you.Memorable Quotes“The thing to remember is that what we affirm repeatedly becomes our reality, right? And so it's [helpful to affirm] what you're committed to, why it's important, and what you're gonna do to get there.”“And if you think about it, we are an extension of the earth… And so, for me, I try to live my life as closely in alignment with nature as I possibly can.”“My belief on purpose is that it's something we get to make up as we go along. We can have more than one purpose because I think people put a lot of pressure on purpose… You get to make it up. That's the best part about purpose. And you can try it on for a week, and you're like, ‘You know what? I wanna try a different purpose,' or ‘I wanna have two or three.' It's fluid, it's fun, it's joyful.”“If somebody took a peek at your schedule, does it really reflect what you say is most important in your life—whether that's health or family, or happiness, or whatever it is?”“You live, on average, about five years after you retire from purpose.

Silence is one of the most misunderstood skills in leadership, communication, and life. Many people rush to fill quiet moments with explanations, reactions, or noise because silence forces awareness. It removes the ability to perform, defend, or control how others perceive us. This episode explores why silence feels so uncomfortable and why that discomfort is often a signal that something important is happening internally.The conversation breaks down how silence functions as a power move in high-pressure moments, not because it dominates a room, but because it regulates the nervous system. Troy shares how learning to pause instead of react creates clarity, steadiness, and intentional communication. The episode explores how silence can either trigger fear and old emotional patterns or become a stabilizing force, allowing you to respond with precision instead of impulse.Personal stories are woven throughout, including experiences with conflict, rejection, grief, and preparing for defining moments like public speaking and delivering a TEDx talk. These moments highlight how silence carries different emotional weight depending on context, and how the body often reacts to pressure as if every moment carries the same level of threat. The episode connects this to fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, and explains how silence can help interrupt those patterns before they escalate.The episode also explores how silence builds trust and presence in professional settings. Speaking less, pausing longer, and choosing restraint often signal confidence and credibility more than volume or speed. Listeners will hear how silence can shift power dynamics in business, leadership, and relationships, while also demanding emotional discipline, self-control, and a willingness to sit with discomfort.Ultimately, this episode is about mastering silence as a form of self-leadership. It is not about withholding communication or avoiding hard moments. It is about knowing when silence serves you, when it sharpens your message, and when it allows you to own a situation without forcing it. Silence works, but it comes with a cost, and this episode challenges listeners to decide whether they are willing to develop the discipline required to use it well.

An active investigation into the death of 14-year-old Celeste Hernandez has left the public with a timeline, a Tesla, and an extensive list of unanswered question. In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum is joined by journalist Lauren Conlin to review what has been said publicly about Celeste’s initial classification as a runaway, her connections to older individuals, and why the continued absence of a named person of interest raises concern. They turn to the arrest of actor/director Timothy Busfield and discuss what can and cannot be concluded from selective “evidence” releases, how credibility gets weaponized in public, and why child abuse allegations demand careful, methodical evaluation rather than internet verdicts. Highlights: • (0:00) Sheryl McCollum opens the episode on the death of Celeste Hernandez and why the case is “driving her crazy” • (1:30) Lauren Conlin’s case status framing: no official person of interest, grand jury activity, and what “imminent indictment” does and does not mean • (3:00) Celeste’s runaway classification, age, and how early labels can shape urgency, resources, and risk • (7:15) Behavior after the discovery: canceled tour, transferred home ownership, legal strategy, and public silence • (10:00) Publicity economics: spikes in streams/downloads and the reality of scandal- driven attention • (15:15) Homicide indicator vs. Evidentiary barriers when decomposition complicates cause-of-death determinations • (17:45) Tesla cameras, event data, and why Sheryl expects a digital trail around movement and access • (21:45) Why runaway youth are at elevated risk and how dependency becomes leverage for exploitation • (27:00) Timothy Busfield: prior allegations and the optics of how he presented himself • (29:15) The alleged history patterns, witness context, and credibility disputes around the parents • (33:00) “Tickling to me does not absolve you from being a pervert.” • (36:00) Predatory access: why being near adults does not guarantee safety and how abuse can occur quickly and covertly • (39:15) Sheryl and Lauren address recantation, selective interview clips, and why child abuse cases require restraint, context, and patience before judgment Guest Bio: Lauren Conlin is a New York-based journalist covering true crime and high-profile investigations. She contributes reporting to Los Angeles Magazine, hosts investigative podcasts, and appears as a legal and crime commentator on platforms including Court TV, Fox News, and Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

For daughters of narcissistic or emotionally limited mothers, silence often doesn't feel neutral. It can feel dangerous, like trouble is coming, like you've done something wrong. So we fill it. With explanations. With apologies. With reassurance.In this episode, we explore how overcommunicating and overfunctioning develop as trauma responses, why sitting in silence can feel unbearable, and what it means to tolerate the aftermath of a decision without rescuing yourself or managing other people's reactions.If you've ever struggled with:overcommunicating as a trauma responsefeeling anxious when people don't respond right awayneeding reassurance after setting boundariespeople-pleasing or overfunctioningtrusting yourself after narcissistic parentingthis conversation will likely resonate. We'll reflects on what it means to “try soft and say less,” , how silence can activate old patterns from childhood, and why learning to tolerate being misunderstood is often a necessary part of healing and self-trust.You don't need to fix anything after listening. Just noticing the urge to fill the silence is already the work.

The Neuroscience of Thriving: How Women Leaders Transform Burnout Into Happiness and High Performance With 60% of senior women reporting record burnout (McKinsey, 2025) and 82% of all employees at burnout risk, the happiness crisis demands neuroscience-based solutions. Dr. Paul Zak reveals the "key moments" framework, Love Plus algorithm, and immersion science that transforms workplace well being, leadership culture, and sustained career success. • Happy workers are 13% more productive, with wellbeing interventions showing 10-21% productivity gains (Oxford, 2024) • 50% of happiness comes from quality social relationships—80% of "key moments" are social experiences • Women leaders who invest in relationships develop different brain activity patterns for sustained thriving • The "do-not-do list" creates bandwidth for extraordinary experiences that prevent burnout • Silence, volunteering, and authentic vulnerability are neuroscience-backed practices for long-term happiness As an executive coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast (900,000+ downloads, top 1.5% globally), I'm witnessing an unprecedented crisis: 60% of senior-level women report feeling frequently burned out—the highest level ever recorded (McKinsey, 2025). And it's getting worse. WebMD Health Services research shows burnout perceptions increased by over 25% from 2022 to 2024, with 82% of all employees now at burnout risk. Gen X women leaders, senior managers, and directors face the highest rates—precisely the women who should be thriving at the peak of their careers. But what if the solution isn't "work-life balance" programs or meditation apps? What if neuroscience reveals a completely different approach to sustained happiness and high performance? In Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Paul Zak—pioneering neuroscientist and author of "Immersion: The Science of the Extraordinary and the Source of Happiness"—we explore the brain-based framework for thriving that transforms how women leaders approach wellbeing, create extraordinary workplace cultures, and sustain career success without sacrificing happiness. The Thriving Crisis: Why Traditional Wellbeing Programs Fail Women Leaders Fast Company (2025) reports that throughout 2025, companies treated employees with "stunning disregard": rolling layoffs, unchecked workloads, and blind eyes to burnout. Over 200,000 American women quit their jobs this year, citing inflexible policies and lack of support. For women leaders specifically: • Only 26% strongly agree their organization cares about their wellbeing (Gallup, 2025) • 42% of working women say their job has had a negative impact on mental health (vs. 37% of men) • Women who feel stressed daily are 46% more likely to actively seek new jobs • 36% of full-time women have a mismatch between preferred and actual work arrangements Why the Gap? Most organizations spent the past decade conflating wellbeing with wellness programs. They handed out meditation apps, gym stipends, and yoga classes while ignoring the root causes: uncaring managers, lack of connection, always-on expectations, and feeling unappreciated. The result? Burnout soared, engagement flat-lined, and the best women leaders walked awa What Neuroscience Reveals About Thriving vs. Surviving "The book has the title Happiness in it, but it's really about thriving," Dr. Zak clarifies. "How do I extend positive mood and high energy over my lifetime?" Using distributed neuroscience technology and the Six app (measuring brain activity continuously at one-second frequency), Dr. Zak's research team discovered something revolutionary: People who have 6 or more "key moments" daily are truly thriving—engaged in life, resilient to stress, and sustaining high performance. What Are Key Moments and Why Do They Matter? "Key moments are high-value experiences that help us grow as human beings and thrive," Dr. Zak explains. "What we found is that the systems in the brain that give us these high-value moments are deep in the brainstem, hidden from our conscious awareness." Dr. Paul Zak This explains why traditional self-assessment wellbeing surveys fail: Most people cannot accurately identify what truly makes them happy. "When we ask people, 'What was your most important moment yesterday?' they don't know," Dr. Zak reveals. "Because it's hidden from conscious awareness. Many times, people will do something they think is really fun that doesn't give their brain a lot of value." The Neuroscience: Why Social Connection Drives Happiness Recent research from Oxford University confirms what Dr. Zak's neuroscience proves: About 50% of our happiness is due to the quality of our social relationships. But here's the critical finding for women leaders: 80% of key moments are social experiences. "It's the people that give me that ability to be present and emotionally open," Dr. Zak emphasizes. "Sometimes I'll get a key moment when I'm really in a great writing project, but mostly, it's when I'm out at a conference, having dinner with people, giving talks." The Leadership Implication: Women leaders facing declining corporate support (only 54% of companies now prioritize women's advancement) cannot wait for organizational culture change. You must proactively create the social connections and immersive experiences that sustain your brain's capacity to thrive. The Two Core Components: Presence and Emotional Openness 1. Being Present "If I'm distracted, it's not going to be a good experience for me," Dr. Zak explains. "So I'll often take my phone and just turn it off in meetings. Hey, you guys, this is an important meeting, I need all the phones off." For Women Leaders: • Create technology-free zones during strategic thinking and team conversations • Block "thinking time" on your calendar—treat it as sacred as client meetings • Practice "walking in silence" to oxygenate your brain and generate ideas • Use the 60-90 minute rule: take 5-minute movement breaks to maintain cognitive clarity 2. Being Emotionally Open "Do we want to be around people who don't share their emotions with us?" Dr. Zak asks. "No. If I say 'I'm having a tough day' and you're like 'oh, that's terrible' with no emotion—that's not a friend, that's a robot." Emotional experiences are saved in memory in a particular way that makes them more easily accessible. When you share authentic emotions, you activate neural pathways that build trust, create connection, and generate the key moments that sustain thriving. Critical for Women Leaders: This isn't about oversharing or being "too emotional" (a bias women already face). It's about strategic vulnerability that makes you relatable, trustworthy, and capable of building the deep connections that drive both happiness and high performance. The Love Plus Algorithm: A Neuroscience Framework for Daily Happiness When Time Magazine asked Dr. Zak to write three sentences on New Year's resolutions, he created what he calls his "algorithm for living a happy and fulfilled life": Love Plus. The Love Plus Framework: L - Love and be loved Invest deeply in relationships. Research shows 50% of happiness comes from social connection quality. For women leaders, this means prioritizing meaningful relationships with family, friends, and trusted colleagues—not just networking transactions. O - Openness to new experiences Travel, try new activities, engage with different perspectives. Novel experiences create neurological growth and generate key moments that sustain thriving. V - Volunteering and giving back "The evidence is so overwhelming that helping others makes you happy," Dr. Zak notes. Even small acts of generosity—buying a colleague coffee, mentoring a junior team member—create reciprocal happiness loops. E - Exercise Physical movement isn't just wellness theater. It oxygenates the brain, reduces stress hormones, and creates conditions for key moments to emerge. PLUS: • Purpose: Connect daily work to larger meaning and impact • Learning: Continuous growth through reading, courses, new skills • Unique experiences: Prioritize extraordinary moments that create lasting memories • Silence: Create space for reflection, creativity, and strategic thinking How Women Leaders Apply Love Plus Daily Dr. Zak's framework isn't theoretical—it's immediately actionable: Morning: 10 minutes of silence before checking devices (builds presence, reduces cortisol) Workday: 2-3 "connection moments" with team members beyond task management (builds trust, creates key moments) Lunch: Walk outside without phone (exercise + silence + openness to new observations) Afternoon: Learn something new—read an article, take a short course, explore a topic (continuous learning) Evening: Invest in deep relationships—quality time with family/friends, not just logistics (love and be loved) Weekly: Volunteer or mentor (giving back creates sustained happiness) The Do-Not-Do List: Creating Bandwidth for Thriving "Many executives tell me they don't have time for key moments," Dr. Zak acknowledges. His solution? The do-not-do list. "I realized I was doing a lot of things on my to-do list that weren't actually that valuable. So I made a second list called my do-not-do list. And it's way longer than my to-do list." Examples from Dr. Zak's Do-Not-Do List: • Do not attend meetings without clear agendas and time boundaries • Do not respond to every email within 2 hours (batch processing instead) • Do not say yes to every speaking invitation (protect creative bandwidth) • Do not schedule back-to-back meetings all day (protect key moment opportunities) • Do not work weekends as default (protect relationship investment time) For Women Leaders: What activities drain energy without creating value? What obligations stem from people-pleasing rather than strategic necessity? Your do-not-do list creates the space for the 6+ daily key moments that neuroscience shows drive sustained thriving.

This is a short but necessary episode. Recorded in the middle of the Tucson Gem Show chaos, Morgan shows up anyway to speak to the heaviness so many witches are feeling right now. With everything happening in the world, especially in the United States, this episode isn't polished or planned. It's honest. It's grounded. And it's coming straight from the heart. Morgan talks about why staying silent doesn't feel neutral anymore, especially for witches who have historically stood with the silenced, the oppressed, and the erased. She shares why she's been focusing on grounding, creating safety at home, and tending to her own energy while still refusing to look away from the loss of human life and the gaslighting happening in real time. This episode is a reminder that self-care and speaking up are not opposites. That protecting your nervous system matters. And that even quiet acts, like grounding, donating, spellwork, or sharing resources, still ripple out into the collective. Topics covered include: Why "silence is compliance" hit hard and changed her perspective The overlap between politics and human lives, and why that line matters Grounding practices for witches during overwhelming times Protecting your energy without disconnecting from your values Magick as support, not bypassing Why it's okay to rest, step back, or turn off the noise when needed This episode isn't here to tell you what to do. It's here to remind you that however you're processing right now, you're not wrong, and you're not alone.

In Episode 79 of Geopolitics with Ghost, Ghost focuses on the growing gap between escalating rhetoric and the absence of decisive geopolitical action. The discussion centers on how information saturation, constant alerts, and emotionally charged reporting create the illusion of imminent global conflict while actual strategic moves remain limited or deliberately restrained. Ghost breaks down recent international signaling, media amplification, and the role of timing in shaping public perception, emphasizing that what is not happening often matters more than what is loudly announced. The episode examines how governments use ambiguity, delay, and narrative noise to manage pressure without triggering escalation, and why observers must resist reacting to every headline as a breaking turning point. Throughout the conversation, Ghost stresses patience, historical pattern recognition, and discipline in analysis, urging listeners to focus on structure, incentives, and long-term positioning rather than surface-level panic. Episode 79 continues the show's steady approach to geopolitics by prioritizing context, restraint, and strategic awareness over emotional interpretation.

As more and more revelations come out from the 3.5 million pages of Epstein documents, a picture is emerging not only of the Oligarchs that rule the world, not only what the Oligarchs accept among themselves, but also of a dark acceptance of death amongst the populations under their rule. Epstein is not a man, but a network backed by Mossad and Israel and linked to criminal bloodlines around the world. Epstein is also an indictment of we the people, willing to turn our eyes away from the horrific crimes against children and say nothing.

Jason Belford spent 20 years in the U.S. Army, and he gave nearly 17 years to the war in Afghanistan as an infantryman, sniper, platoon sergeant and Army Ranger. He went on 12 deployments to the country and to Iraq as a member of 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and the 10th Mountain Divisions. Jason has been not only a guest on this podcast multiple times, but he has also been a cohost on this show, having helped cohost shows for about a year many years ago. He and Robert have stayed in touch, but recently bumped into one another at the airport in Pittsburgh. They hugged and talked. They instantly knew that another episode was needed. While cohosting years back, Jason had openly talked about how he attempted to take his own life and had hoped that it would help others. He shared the story of how his friend Dave helped him during that time of need. Years later, in 2022, the world was crumbling around him. A number of different events created the perfect storm. Dark clouds. Robert was checking up on him and he was told that Jason was going to be out of the net for a while. He was going to get some help. Jason shares on this episode the events that led up to that moment and what he did after to receive help. He shares his spiritual journey and his story will leave you speechless. We couldn't be more happier to see Jason back in studio with us at Mentors4mil. He's been an inspiration for so many while he was in uniform and since he's left service. He continues to deal with his demons daily. He has accepted the fact that it will take daily work to fight what he calls "the war inside me". Jason's book, 'The War Inside Me' will be out soon. _________ Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mentors-for-military-podcast/id1072421783 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w4RiZBxBS8EDy6cuOlbUl #drones #AI #artificialintelligence #mentors4mil  #mentorsformilitary Mentors4mil Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Mentors4mil Patreon Support: https://www.patreon.com/join/Mentors4mil  Opening music, "Sad Slow Orchestra" is by Ribhav Agrawal on Pixabay Intro music "Long Way Down" by Silence & Light is used with permission.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Is free speech facing its biggest global threat yet?

Jeffrey Epstein built his empire on manipulation—preying on vulnerable girls who society would later dismiss as “unreliable.” His entire scheme was designed so that when the truth came out, the victims' credibility could be attacked and the public would fall for it. Even after his death, that same defense is still being used by his allies, lawyers, and media sympathizers. The people who demand “proof” and mock survivors are doing Epstein's work for him, playing right into the strategy he set in motion decades ago. And the worst part? Many of the powerful figures who partied, traveled, and did business with him refuse to sit for questioning or hand over records. If they were innocent, they'd welcome an investigation—but their silence screams otherwise.The truth is simple: the system protected Epstein, and it's still protecting those who enabled him. The survivors deserve a full reckoning, not another PR cleanup for the rich. Every politician, banker, and celebrity who covered for Epstein shares his guilt, and no amount of spin can change that. The public doesn't owe them the benefit of the doubt anymore. Justice means dragging every last enabler into the light.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

A powerful image out of Minnesota keeps resurfacing: federal agents inside a Target store, terrorizing employees and customers. Just the mere image collapses everything into the questions people are asking in real time: Am I safe at work? Am I safe while shopping? When leaders respond with silence or vague calls for “de-escalation,” they create a vacuum filled by fear, rumor, and the message they cannot control: “declined to comment.” In this episode, Gini Dietrich unpacks why companies default to silence, why that rationale fails, and what communicators should push for instead: decisions, documented protocols, manager scripts, and clear internal and external messaging anchored in duty of care and business continuity.  Trust is the job — and clarity is how you earn it.

This week's episode starts with a snowstorm… but it's not really about the weather.   It's about what happens when construction gets disrupted, and how the silent spaces right after hold more power than most designers realize.   Because when a project goes off track, the real work isn't about drywall or lost days. It's about who communicates what, when they communicate it, and whether that moment creates clarity or chaos.   So today, I'm breaking down: Why designers go quiet during construction (& what's really driving that silence) How not saying anything doesn't protect your authority — it quietly undermines it What you can say instead (even if you don't have all the answers yet)   This isn't about calling anyone out, it's about naming a pattern I see over and over again: Silence isn't neutral during construction. It's a leadership moment missed. Let's talk through it (so you never have to white-knuckle an update email again).   Mentioned in this episode: Access the full video interview with Elana Steele of Steele Appliance here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/appliance Join the waitlist for my course here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/construction-management-interior-designers    Find the full shownotes at: https://devignierdesign.com/why-silence-isnt-neurtral-during-construction 

SPY vs SPY - How a MAD Magazine Comic Shaped Spy Cinema explores how a silent comic changed espionage storytelling forever. In this episode, we reveal why Spy vs. Spy matters more to spy movies than most audiences realize. This podcast episode from Cracking the Code of Spy Movies looks past punchlines. It uncovers influence, tone, and lasting ideas: Two identical spies, endless conflict, there are no winners. At first glance, Spy vs. Spy feels like pure comedy.  But beneath the humor lies a brutal truth.  There are explosions, traps, and sudden reversals.  All done with a comedic twist. Episode Focus This episode focuses on how Spy vs. Spy captured Cold War thinking. ·       Paranoia ruled every decision. ·       Escalation never stopped. ·       Trust disappeared completely.   We highlight how wordless storytelling shaped modern spy cinema. If you didn't know, there is no dialogue in Spy vs. Spy.  Also, there is no exposition: only action and consequence. This visual language now defines spy films. We recently released an episode examining how James Bond and his villains are mirrors of each other.  The episode also explores why mirrors matter in espionage stories. Listeners will hear how Spy vs. Spy predicted modern spy themes. How moral ambiguity replaced clear heroes. How technology became unreliable, and finally how victory became temporary. We also connect how Spy vs. Spy created lasting ideas that found their way into major spy franchises: James Bond, Jasone Bourne, Mission: Impossible, and modern Cold War thrillers. Rather than parody, Spy vs. Spy became a blueprint filmmakers still follow, often without realizing it. This episode is fast, focused, and insight‑driven. And it reveals how satire clarified espionage mechanics. If you love spy films, this is essential listening. If you study film storytelling, it's revealing. And if you enjoy uncovering hidden influence, it delivers. Episode Highlights ·       A comic strip predicted modern spy movie structure ·       Mirror logic that shaped heroes and villains alike ·       Silence reinforced visual spy storytelling ·       Escalation replaced resolution ·       Satire became the genre's blueprint This episode proves one thing clearly:  Spy vs. Spy understood espionage better than most movies ever did.

The prophetic is often presented as a reliable way to discern relationships — but for many people, it becomes a source of fear, control, and harm.In this episode, we talk about spiritual abuse that took place in the context of prophetic language and relationships, and why relying on prophetic words to make dating or marriage decisions can be deeply unsafe.We unpack how “God told me” has been used to override consent, silence discernment, and create anxiety — and why this approach doesn't reflect how God actually leads His people.This conversation is honest, grounded, and necessary for anyone who has been hurt or confused by spiritual authority in relationships.

#209: What if the simplest test for justice is the one we avoid most: did the punishment fit the alleged crime? We take a hard, human look at the Minneapolis ICE shootings and the narratives that sprang up around them, using a nurse's experience with de‑escalation to question why armed authority is often granted more leeway than caregivers who face chaos daily. In an ER, high stress and long hours never excuse unnecessary force; training, restraint, and accountability are the baseline. If that's true without a gun, why accept less when the state carries one?Across the conversation, we trace the patterns that blunt our empathy: the impulse to reframe victims through their worst moments, the comfort of silence framed as neutrality, and the churn of headlines that create political whiplash before any change can stick. History offers blunt lessons. The language of “just comply,” “don't get involved,” and “it's not my place” has appeared before every time a marginalized group was targeted. Silence doesn't sit in the middle; it leans toward power.We also talk directly about privilege without shame. If you can look away, you have margin others don't. Use it. Challenge dehumanizing talk in your circles, center proportionality and human dignity, and keep the focus on the moment where harm happened. We test our shared moral floor with examples most people agree on, then ask for consistency when the state uses force. You don't need perfect words or a public platform to matter—you need the courage to be specific, to ask better questions, and to let compassion lead even when it's uncomfortable.If this moved you, subscribe, share the episode with someone who needs a thoughtful push, and leave a review telling us how you'll show up this week.

If you're waiting for someone to hand you the next opportunity, this one's for you.

Silence gets mistaken for satisfaction.This episode is a wake-up call to notice the invisible rules you've absorbed and start challenging the ones that no longer serve you. I'm sharing how to move from observer to advocate, use curiosity as a powerful tool, and start showing up like someone who's ready to lead.You don't need a permission slip. You need a plan.In this episode, I'll cover:How to spot the subtle ways you're holding yourself backA reframing strategy to shift from polite silence to confident curiosityWhat to ask for in the next 72 hours to change how you're seen_____________________

Welcome to Day 2788 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2788 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 109:1-5 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2788 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-eight of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The tile for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Courtroom of Lies – When Love is Repaid with Hatred Today, we are stepping off the mountain peak of victory and descending into the deepest, darkest valley of the human experience. We are beginning our journey through Psalm One Hundred Nine, and today we will navigate the opening complaint, verses one through five, in the New Living Translation. To understand the emotional whiplash of the Psalter, we have to remember where we just were. In our previous trek through Psalm One Hundred Eight, we stood with King David on the mountaintop. He was the confident Warrior Poet. He woke the dawn with his song. He looked at the map of the nations and declared, "With God's help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes." It was a psalm of absolute certainty, military strength, and divine conquest. We left feeling invincible. But today, the music changes. The triumphant horns of Psalm One Hundred Eight fade away, replaced by the dissonant, scratching sound of a lawsuit. Psalm One Hundred Nine is famous—or perhaps infamous—as the most intense of the "imprecatory" or cursing psalms. Later in this psalm, David will unleash a torrent of curses against his enemy that makes many modern readers cringe. But before we get to the curses, we must understand the pain that birthed them. We must sit in the defendant's chair. In these opening five verses, David is not the General commanding an army; he is a man alone in a courtroom, surrounded by a mob of liars. He has been stripped of his reputation, betrayed by those he loved, and—most terrifying of all—he is facing the silence of God. This is a psalm for anyone who has ever been slandered. It is for anyone who has loved someone deeply, only to have that love thrown back in their face as hatred. It is the raw, unedited cry of a heart that has been stabbed in the back. So, let us enter the courtroom and hear the plea of the innocent. The first segment is: The Silence of the Judge: The Crisis of Communication. Psalm One Hundred Nine: verse one. O God, whom I praise, don't stand silent and aloof The psalm opens with a desperate appeal to the only One who matters. "O God, whom I praise..." Literally, "O God of my praise." This is a statement of history and identity. David is saying, "Lord, You are the subject of all my songs. I have spent my life building a throne of praise for You. I have defined myself by Your glory." It is an appeal to relationship. He is reminding God, "We are friends. I am Your worshiper." But this intimacy makes the current situation unbearable: "...don't stand silent and aloof." The Hebrew simply says, "Do not be silent." In a legal context—and this psalm is full of legal imagery—the silence of...

Accepting new clients committed to self-improvement vs. impermanent solutions. www.birdbrainwellness.comFebruary begins with a shift.Not the kind you announce loudly—but the kind you feel settling into your bones.In this episode, I talk about moving in silence, choosing discernment over disclosure, and why not everything meaningful in your life needs to be explained, shared, or made legible for others. We explore the difference between secrecy and stewardship, oversharing and authenticity, urgency and alignment.This is a conversation about protecting what's still becoming, letting things mature before they're consumed, and giving yourself permission to have a private life—even in a world that constantly asks for access.If you're in a season where something is changing quietly behind the scenes, this one is for you.
