#NationalInterest There's much frustration in India over the global ‘narrative' on Pahalgam and Op Sindoor. We have to decide if global opinion matters to us or not. If it does, we must drop all ego and bluster and engage with their media, think tanks, and civil society. Sending MPs on a globetrotting boondoggle won't help.

In this episode, I share a personal story I've never told in this way before - my personal story of growing up as an extrasensory being: what it was like to feel everything, what are the daily challenges but also the gifts. It's about my journey of finding my voice and how building my business has been anything but traditional because I never felt like I truly belonged anywhere. I felt too strange for the spiritual communities and too sensitive for the corporate world, where I burned myself out trying to fit in. This is the story of how I found belonging without fitting in, how I discovered my place without compromising my essence. It's also the story of how I am stepping out of hiding and into leadership as a Sensitive Visionary, leading Soft Power movement in a world that is loud, messy, and constantly pulling you away from your purity, your heart, your body.It's also a glimpse into the heart of my work because it's the snippet from the module "Belonging without fitting in & self trust" in "Rise Voice" program.  In it, I explore what true belonging is (and what it's not), and how we often abandon ourselves to be accepted.  If this speaks to you, here are two ways to go deeper:1. Join my online retreat “Sensitive. Rebellious. Rising.” – a 2-day pay-as-you-wish event (minimum 44€) 2. For a deep, long-term journey with personalized support, The Rise Voice is my most intimate and transformational container. We explore soft power, self-leadership, emotional capacity, inner critic, fear, success, healing the social nervous system, and much more. A lot of core topics that affect and influence your personal power.Because for me, it always comes back to this:You can't lead others if you're disconnected from yourself.Support the show Currently enrolling into "Rise Voice"!!!

What if your fiercest judgments were just misplaced devotion?In this raw and revealing episode, we unpack those charged moments when your love for truth and justice gets mistaken for criticism or control. When your “I just want to help” lands more like “You're doing it wrong.” And when your longing to belong collides with your need to speak up.Two powerful stories unfold in this episode:  One about a moment of regret after calling out a fellow trainer in a large group, and another about getting kicked out of a recovery meeting… for being too disruptive. But underneath it all? The same longing: to be seen, heard, and held in our full humanity.

If “success” means burnout, exhaustion, and no joy left for you… it's time for a rewrite. In this third phase of our mini-series, we're talking redefinition. That means letting go of hustle-as-identity and embracing success that actually feels good. You'll learn how to visualize your future self, stop hiding behind productivity, and make aligned decisions that create real change — all without sacrificing your peace. I'm sharing the truth about what success looks like now versus what it used to (hint: it's no longer about hustle at all costs). We're talking about functional burnout, the invisible mental load, and the pressure to perform—and why it's time to flip the script. I'll walk you through: What it really means to redefine success on your own terms How to start making moves your future self will thank you for The power of mental rehearsal (aka visualizing the woman you're becoming) Why joy, rest, and pleasure deserve space on your calendar A few hard questions to help you stop hiding behind your busy schedule This isn't about doing less—it's about doing what aligns.

Russia, you will often hear, poses a threat to the West, the world order, and democracy. Yet it has a smaller economy than Italy and ... Canada. It also has a shrinking population. There are fewer people living in Russia today than in 1991 during the collapse of the Soviet Union. So, is Russia really that powerful? Is it a waning power coasting on the nostalgia of the Cold War? Or a power that punches well above its economic weight?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The U.S. has long balanced military strength with soft power in the Middle East through agencies like USAID. With the Trump administration reversing these policies, is this a necessary realignment—or a costly retreat? Those against these changes argue this will boost rivals like Iran and China and harm America's image. Those hailing them argue it's a necessary correction, favoring clear, transactional geopolitical goals over costly diplomacy.

In a typical year, the United States spends between 0.4% to 1.4% of its federal budget on international aid. In 2023, the most recent year for which data is largely complete, that worked out to be around $79 billion, or 1.2%. Much of that aid includes life-saving food and medical supplies, but it also funds clinics, provides for emergency services and helps reduce armed conflicts. Recently, the Trump administration dramatically reduced funding for the chief agencies charged with distributing U.S. foreign aid, and is now formally dismantling the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The administration also cut U.S. funding to the World Food Programme (WFP) in what the United Nations agency called “a death sentence” for millions of humans around the world. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) maintains that these cancellations are justified for “the convenience of the U.S. Government.” Watch the above 28-minute episode of America Speaks as pollster and political analyst Dr. Frank Luntz asks Americans to share their opinions, questions and concerns regarding recent cuts to U.S. foreign aid, how those cuts might impact the projection of American soft power, and what they think the correct path forward should be from here.

This isn't fiction. It's the chilling reality unfolding around us.Today, on Some Future Day, we dive deep into the hidden corridors of terror's digital transformation with our guest, Erez Zborowski, an expert who has walked directly in the shadowy interactions of journalism, security, and intelligence.Erez began his career with a profound lesson on the cost of truth, inspired by the tragic story of journalist James Foley. His path led him from classrooms of journalism to the volatile streets of Israel, Africa, and the Middle East, operating as a fixer, a crucial role that placed him face to face with terrorist groups and gave him unique insights into their evolving strategies.That's right. A fixer. With firsthand experience, Erez witnessed how groups like ISIS revolutionized the concept of soft power, turning heinous acts into viral content designed to recruit sympathizers worldwide.In this eye-opening conversation, we'll uncover the alarming ways terrorist organizations use social media, gaming platforms, and encrypted apps to spread their message, recruit globally, and hide in plain sight.  We'll discuss the chilling role AI might play both as a threat and, potentially, a defense against this rising digital menace.

They highlight the devastating impacts on HIV treatment, TB care, and broader healthcare services due to the sudden cessation of funding. But the country is markedly more prepared than critics might have feared, to assume full responsibility for its infectious diseases strategies - including procurement and surveillance strategies that the US maintained control over in exchange for the aid.

L'administration Trump a entamé le démantèlement des médias publics américains opérant à l'étranger en gelant les budgets de l'agence supervisant Voice of America, Radio Free Europe ou encore Radio Free Asia. Pour comprendre ce que sont ces médias et ce qu'ils représentent, L'atelier des médias reçoit Maud Quessard, directrice de recherche à l'Irsem. Vendredi 14 mars, Donald Trump a signé un décret classant l'Agence des États-Unis pour les médias publics américains diffusant à l'international (USAGM) parmi les « activités inutiles de la bureaucratie ».Derrière ce sigle se trouvent des médias ayant pour nom Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Radio Free Asia (RFA), Radio y Televisión Martí (Cuba) encore Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN).Depuis une semaine, les budgets de l'USAGM sont gelés, et les activités de ses médias, souvent menées dans des zones de tension à travers le monde, sont réduites au strict minimum ou purement et simplement arrêtées.Que représentent les médias supervisés par l'USAGM ? Quel symbole revêt la suspension de leurs activités pour le soft power médiatique américain ? Quels peuvent être les impacts de leur éventuelle disparition pour la liberté de la presse dans le monde ? Ce sont des questions que L'atelier des médias a posé à Maud Quessard, directrice du domaine « Europe, espace transatlantique, Russie » à l'Institut de recherche stratégique de l'École militaire (Irsem), à Paris, spécialiste de la diplomatie publique des États-Unis.Extrait choisi : « Je pense qu'on est effectivement dans une disruption. Je parle peut-être plus même de schisme idéologique dans la mesure où ces attaques qui sont faites sur ces bastions médiatiques du monde libre créent un renversement des valeurs. Exactement comme on a pu avoir un renversement des valeurs avec le discours porté par JD Vance en Europe à Munich. Et ce renversement des valeurs, ce n'est plus finalement le fait que les États-Unis soient un espace informationnel libre et démocratique comme on a pu le connaître, mais un espace qui se ferme sur un modèle qui s'approche de plus en plus d'un modèle autoritaire, et c'est ce qui est particulièrement inquiétant. »Maud Quessard est l'autrice de Stratégies d'influence et guerres de l'information – Propagande et diplomatie publique des États-Unis depuis la guerre froide (Presses universitaires de Rennes, 2019) ou encore de l'ouvrage collectif Les guerres de l'information à l'ère numérique (PUF, 2021), codirigé avec Céline Marangé.À écouter aussiSuppression de Voice of America: «L'Amérique va devenir inaudible» (Invité Afrique)

The argument for international aid is in part a moral one, but it's also been about U.S. interests. As then-senator Marco Rubio put it in 2017: "I promise you it's going to be a lot harder to recruit someone to anti-Americanism, anti-American terrorism if the United States of America was the reason why they're even alive today."Now, as secretary of state, Rubio serves under a president who is deeply skeptical of the idea of international aid. "We're giving billions and billions of dollars to countries that hate us," President Trump said in a speech last month. His administration shuttered the U.S. Agency for International Development. A federal judge said this week that move violated the constitution. What's left of the agency has been folded into the State Department.Trump has also moved to gut government-funded, editorially independent broadcasters like Voice of America, and attempted to effectively eliminate the congressionally-funded think tank the U.S. Institute of Peace.This sort of soft power has been a pillar of American foreign policy.

Harry talks with Max Boot about his latest article, “US soft power took decades to build. Trump is dismantling it in weeks.” Boot explains the critical source of U.S. influence in the world, more than military might, is “soft power,” foreign aid and other far-seeing acts of altruism for people around the world. Soft power is the key to the country's diplomatic, commercial, and cultural success. It was built up painstakingly over decades with programs like the Marshall Plan and in 3 short weeks Trump has taken a battering ram to it, acutely harming our international standing. Allies such as Canada are perplexed at the U.S.'s bullying tactics, and people around the world dependent on U.S. aid have been gravely harmed. The chief beneficiary of this short-sighted abandonment of longstanding U.S. policy is China, which will aim to fill the void left by the end of U.S. aid programs. Boot concludes, “[i]t is staggering to see how much damage Trump has done to U.S. soft power in just two weeks and painful to imagine how much ore he could do in the next 206 weeks.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
