What does it look like to raise kids who believe they belong in science, who feel confident speaking up, and who see women as leaders in fields that have long pushed them out? I first came across Emily Calandrelli's work years ago on social media, and her mix of joy, honesty, and curiosity pulled me in immediately. Her voice reminded me that advocacy doesn't have to be loud to be powerful and that our kids are always watching how we chase our own dreams. She is now one of my favorite examples of what it means to model confidence and curiosity for the next generation. On today's episode, Emily and I talk about finding her way in a male-dominated STEM world, what she learned from losing her Netflix show, and how creating her own YouTube series changed everything. She also shares the story behind her viral TSA moment, how it sparked federal legislation, and what it meant to finally launch into space after dreaming about it for two decades. We discuss: ✔️ How representation in STEM shapes kids' beliefs about what's possible ✔️ Why speaking up matters, even when it's uncomfortable ✔️ The pressure mothers face when they pursue big goals ✔️ What her spaceflight taught her about wonder and perspective ✔️ How parents can spark scientific thinking and curiosity at home To connect with Emily Calandrelli follow her on Instagram @thespacegal and check out all her resources at https://www.thespacegal.com/ 00:00 Intro 00:51 Welcome + How Emily Sparked TSA Policy Change 01:50 Raising Confident Science-Loving Kids 03:22 Emily's Path From MIT to TV 05:03 Breaking Into Science Media as a Woman 06:25 Losing a Netflix Show and Starting Over 09:30 Building Emily's Science Lab on YouTube 11:22 Redefining Success Beyond Algorithms 14:44 Motherhood, Identity, and Letting Go of Guilt 18:36 The Spaceflight Story She Worked 20 Years For 22:31 How She Funded Her Own Ticket to Space 24:11 What Seeing Earth From Space Feels Like 25:00 The Gendered Backlash After Her Spaceflight 31:01 The TSA Incident That Went Viral 32:31 Turning Viral Attention Into Real Legislation 38:12 STEM Representation for Kids Today 43:13 How Parents Can Model Curiosity at Home 46:47 Why Meeting Girls in STEM Fuels Her Work 49:21 Closing Thoughts + Where to Find Emily Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

In this week's episode, we dive deep into Acts 10 and talk all about what it looks like to love people who are different from us. We're talking about real, Spirit-led community—the kind that crosses lines of comfort, culture, and even conviction. From Jewish-Gentile divides in the early church to our own hidden biases today, this story of Peter and Cornelius challenges us to open our homes and hearts wider. We laugh a lot, but we're also honest about how the Spirit gently convicts us to live differently. Whether it's choosing curiosity over judgment, or inviting someone new to your dinner table, this episode will inspire you to take your next step toward radical love. Let's be girls who live it out—who ask God to search our hearts and then act on what He reveals. In This Episode [04:00] Church Talk [08:00] What's Your Bible Study Personality?

In 2017, Cath Nielsen was a passenger in a police vehicle ambushed by a wanted offender armed with an automatic weapon. Her colleague and dear friend, Senior Constable Brett Forte, was tragically killed. Cath survived the attack — but what came next became an even bigger battle: finding the courage to speak up against an enormous organisation when the truth needed a voice. Cath's experience lays bare the real cost of staying silent, the fear of challenging the status quo, and the courage required to use your voice when it shakes. The Key Takeaways from this important conversation: Speaking up against power can be brutal, lonely and incredibly costly — but also deeply meaningful. Courage isn't the absence of fear; it's action in the presence of it. Being “one little voice” doesn't mean you're powerless. Preparing, educating yourself and grounding your message gives you strength when the scrutiny is high. Challenging the status quo is how systems evolve — even if you never see the full impact yourself. You don't have to lose your career or identity when you speak out; with support, rebuilding is possible. Connect with Cath on LinkedIn
Send us a textThis Thanksgiving week on Beach Talk, Betsey Newenhuyse and I pause to reflect on what keeps us grounded and grateful in turbulent times. Retirement gives us the space to see the big picture, and family, friends, and caring neighbors remind us we're never alone. We're grateful for like-minded resisters, meaningful conversations, and the freedom to speak up. Experience tells us storms pass, truth still matters, and a new generation is rising to shape what comes next. Acts of everyday kindness continue to defy the headlines. And through it all, hope endures—rooted in community, clarity, and the power we still hold together.Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

When you leave a conversation wishing you had said something, that tightening in your throat is a signal from your body, not a failure on your part. Self-silencing often feels safer than speaking up, but it comes at a cost. The words you swallow can show up as tension, frustration, or even physical symptoms, because holding things in keeps your system in protection mode. In this episode, I explore why self-silencing feels instinctive and what it takes to unwind that pattern. You'll learn how to recognise the difference between deliberate, grounded silence and the kind that keeps you stuck, as well as how to start speaking honestly in ways that strengthen rather than threaten your relationships.

Sexual Assault Survivor Stories Podcast with Dave Markel Guest: Anne Marie Hauben I'm honored to share this week's episode of The SASS Podcast with someone whose courage doesn't just echo across a microphone—it reverberates across decades of silence, retaliation, and survival: Anne Marie Hauben. Anne Marie isn't just a guest. She is a truth-teller, an advocate, and a woman who refused to let a lifetime of dismissal define her story. After more than 30 years of carrying the weight of an assault she endured at 18 years old, she decided she would not stay silent any longer. And in doing so, she carved out a path of empowerment for survivors everywhere who feel trapped between trauma and the societal forces that try to suffocate their truth. This conversation is raw, urgent, and profoundly human. Who Is Anne Marie Hauben? • She is a survivor of a 1990 sexual assault, perpetrated during a senior trip to Bermuda when she was 18 and extremely intoxicated. The reported perpetrator was Ward, a former city councilor in Melrose, Massachusetts. (AnneHauben.com) • Anne Marie endured decades of silence shaped by shame, traumatic memory, lack of parental safety, and the fear that telling the truth would bring more harm than healing. (Written testimony) • In 2016 and again in 2018, she privately confronted her perpetrator through personal messages seeking accountability, remorse, or even acknowledgment. Both attempts were ignored; the second resulted in her being blocked. (Testimony) • In 2023, when her perpetrator ran for city council, her trauma was violently retraumatized and shoved back into the light. The anxiety, fear, flashbacks, and PTSD symptoms became overwhelming, forcing her to grapple with her past in a public way to protect herself, her community, and other survivors. (Testimony) • She ultimately sought legal guidance and published a public statement so voters would know who they were electing. Instead of support, she faced a wave of defamation threats, intimidation, and a coordinated effort by community members to discredit her. (Testimony) • Today, she is a vocal survivor-advocate pushing for reform in defamation law, accountability in local government, protections for survivors, and cultural change around how we respond to sexual violence. (AnneHauben.com) • She uses her platform, Amplified Voice Healing, to speak openly about her story, help other survivors reclaim their voice, and educate the public about the patterns of retaliation, shame, and silence that protect perpetrators. (AnneHauben.com) Why I Asked Anne Marie to Be on the Show • Because I'm committed to giving survivors a place where they're believed, respected, and heard—and Anne Marie has spent her entire adulthood being silenced and attacked for speaking the truth. • Because her experience is a masterclass in how systems, communities, and defamation laws are weaponized against survivors who dare to speak out. • Because she embodies the intersection of trauma neuroscience, public accountability, and the lived experience of surviving both assault and decades of retaliation. • Because her voice is needed. For college students. For mothers. For anyone grappling with whether they're "allowed" to speak. For every survivor who worries they'll be called a liar, crazy, or unstable simply for telling the truth. • Because her story is not just her own. It is woven from the same cloth as Chanel Miller, E. Jean Carroll, Christine Blasey Ford, and every survivor whose truth confronted a powerful man shielded by convenience and denial. What We'll Explore in This Episode • The assault itself: what Anne remembers from that night in Bermuda, what trauma did to her memory, and what the aftermath looked like for an 18-year-old trying to survive without support. • The neuroscience of delayed disclosure: why trauma keeps victims silent for years or decades—and how shame, fear, and protective forgetting shape a survivor's timeline. • Retaliation, defamation threats, and silencing: how community members, friends of the perpetrator, and public officials weaponized intimidation against her to shut down her voice. • Rape culture in action: what happens when a small-town political ecosystem decides that a man's reputation is worth more than a woman's truth. • Healing, advocacy, and finding purpose: how Anne turned her pain into public testimony, activism, and a platform for educating others about accountability and survivor protection. My Personal Reflection I want to acknowledge Anne Marie's courage. What she carried for three decades would have broken many people. Yet she continues to speak out with clarity, strength, and conviction, not just for herself but for every survivor who has been told to stay quiet. Listening to Anne Marie share her story so openly, and hearing the resilience and emotional labor it took to put her truth into the public square, is proof that SASS is a platform is for victims and survivors to be able to further their pursuit of justice and the commitment to normalize the conversation. Anne Marie's experience is not just recounting a traumatic event—she's exposing the machinery that keeps perpetrators safe and survivors silent. I'm grateful Anne chose to trust me with her story. I'm grateful my listeners get to learn from her, feel with her, and rethink what accountability truly looks like. And I'm truly proud to have had her on this show. Audience Takeaway • No survivor owes anyone immediate disclosure. Trauma rewrites the rules of time. • Anne's experience is both a warning and a call to action. Rape culture is not theoretical—it's lived every day in the systems that dismissed and attacked her. • If you are a survivor: you're not alone. Your timeline is valid. Your truth is yours to tell when you are ready. • If you are part of a community, a school, a department, or a justice system: please pay attention. These patterns repeat everywhere. Silence is the abuser's best friend. • And if you've ever wondered why survivors take years to speak: this episode will change the way you think about trauma forever. Anne Marie, thank you for standing up, speaking out, and refusing to keep your pain quiet. And to our SASS listeners: brace yourselves. This episode is powerful, necessary, and is one of those important conversations I regularly bring to the podcast to help normalize the conversation about rape and sexual assault.

What happens when a grieving mother dares to question her local school district—and ends up accused of stalking? In this powerful episode, attorney Parker Jackson from the Goldwater Institute reveals how one Wyoming mom's courage sparked a First Amendment showdown.

The temperature online feels louder, sharper, and less forgiving by the day. So we decided to do the uncomfortable thing: talk honestly about context, courage, and how to disagree without dehumanizing each other. We trace the spiral from viral clips to moral panic, the way empathy gets weaponized as a political pose, and why whataboutism is the fastest way to kill a real conversation. Along the way, we admit our own fears about posting, the hives and shaky hands that come with saying something unpopular, and the relief of finally choosing brave expression over silence.We go deep on the Charlie Kirk controversy to show how quotes mutate when pulled from their setting, then widen the lens to the broader ecosystem: media echo chambers, confirmation bias, and the illusion that we're all reacting to the same facts. We talk about listening to people we disagree with, seeking nonpartisan reporting, and recognizing when someone is committed to misunderstanding you. Bringing in Africa Brooke's 'The Third Perspective,' we share practical tools for speaking with integrity in an age that punishes nuance.The most personal turn comes with autism, Tylenol, vaccines, and the line between inquiry and taboo. One of us is parenting a child on the spectrum, and we center the harsh realities many families face while arguing for compassionate and curiosity instead of ridicule. We also examine pharma's cultural footprint ~ direct-to-consumer ads, quick prescriptions, and the subtle ways a system conditions us to medicate first and ask later ~ without throwing out the real benefits of Western medicine.If you've felt yourself go quiet to avoid the pile-on, this conversation is for you. Take a breath, step outside the algorithm, and come sit in the messy middle where context lives and curiosity survives.

Have you ever struggled to say “no” and then felt resentment afterward?In this powerful and unapologetically honest episode of Real Talk, I sit down with Dr. Jen Fry sports geographer, TEDx speaker, tech founder, and author of “I Said No: The No BS Guide to Setting Boundaries, Speaking Up, and Being Unbothered by Other People's Feelings.”Together, we dive deep into what it really means to advocate for yourself, set boundaries without guilt, and stay grounded in a world that constantly demands more of you.What You'll Hear in This Episode:
Have you ever found yourself wanting to speak up about something but you decide not to? It could be at work, with friends, with your spouse, at the store, at a restaurant. We don't want to create conflict or make it awkward. In this episode, I tap into all the reasons we often choose to stay quiet instead and why its important we don't in order for us to be our authentic self. The good hearted, compassionate, kind voices need to be louder in this world, and it starts with our own lives and interactions. I dive into how other people will try to discourage or make you doubt yourself when you speak up and how to combat this. Check it out! Let's unpack together! Sometimes all you need is a nudge and someone to ask the questions so you can find the answers for you. Send me a DM or check out my website: www.unpackingmyself.com
In this episode of The Mizell Show, Steven and Alanna dive into how women's voices are shaping today's conversations around human rights, equality, and empowerment. From novels that challenge the patriarchy to social media movements that amplify real stories, they explore how women are reclaiming their voices in powerful ways. The discussion also takes a closer look at how societal systems can misrepresent or silence women—and what we can do to change that. Tune in to discover how you can become a better ally, challenge outdated narratives, and truly listen to women's voices in your everyday life.
There's more going on in that infamous Republicans groupchat than most realize but the real issue isn't the gossip, it's how easily people trade conviction for comfort. In this episode, we talk about the growing weakness on the Right, the danger of valuing offense over free speech, and why all of our rights must be protected at all costs. We'll also cover more updates on the Charlie Kirk case and how Trump's failures in his second term (including his refusal to release the Epstein list and his submission to Israel) prove that no man should ever be placed where only God belongs.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
We sometimes reduce “faith-promoting” stories to those tidy endings—where miracles show up just in time, doubts vanish, and testimony replaces tension. But sometimes growth begins when the script falls apart. For Susan Meredith Hinckley and Cynthia Winward, these stories are nourishing a faith that looks like trust and transformation. Susan and Cynthia are co-hosts of the At Last She Said It podcast and authors of a new book with the same title. They came to this work from different paths. For Cynthia, the Church just worked. She thrived—until her life took a turn at 40 and her certainty unraveled. For Susan, the discomfort was quieter. She says the Church always fit like an “itchy sweater”—a subtle, persistent misfit that kept her silent. But over time, what had become a “crisis of silence” became a call to speak up.For the past six years, Susan and Cynthia have been inviting women into conversations that began as honest exchanges between friends about big ideas and the real tensions of belonging to a church they both love and feel challenged by. What they've learned is that talking about hard things can be its own kind of faith practice—a way to bring your whole heart to your faith and your community, a way of being known. In this episode, they share practical wisdom for navigating Sundays when belief feels messy, offer a compass for making decisions when clarity is out of reach, and explore how using our voice can help transform hard things into a source connection with each other and a more intimate relationship with a God who loves us without conditions.We hope this conversation expands your imagination for what spiritual strength can look like—and invites you into a faith that's honest, evolving, and a true seedbed for growth.We're so excited to tell you about a new Faith Matters initiative called Organized Intelligence, supported by the Future of Life Institute.

From awkward encounters in sandwich shops to the lifesaving simplicity of Soundscape, this is a candid dive into daily life without sight.Expanded SummaryThis episode of Double Tap brings humour and honesty to the challenges and joys of living blind. Steven and Shaun read emails from listeners sharing real-world experiences: Johnny's frustrating encounter with an ignorant shop employee sparks a conversation about public misconceptions, vulnerability, and when to walk away.Trevor's message celebrates the transformative impact of the Soundscape navigation app and calls for not-for-profit organisations to invest in assistive technology that truly serves the blind community. The hosts debate leadership in blindness organisations, questioning why so few are run by blind people in 2025 and how genuine representation affects trust and outcomes. The conversation closes with Chris from New York highlighting a pocket-sized Bluetooth keyboard for easy screen reader navigation—proof that small tools can make a big difference.

Listen to this episode commercial free at https://angryplanetpod.comThe episode is about Vanessa Guillén, a US soldier who was murdered at Fort Hood in 2020. She also experienced sexual harassment while in the military. I spoke with ABC Special Correspondent John Quiñones about his new podcast, Vanished. It's a good podcast that covers Guillén's case in-depth and highlights the reforms the Pentagon instituted after.We recorded the show on September 30, Guillén's birthday. That morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth delivered a long speech about his own military reforms. Many of the changes Hegseth has pushed through conflict with the changes that Guillén's death ushered in.As such, I thought it was important to get John's reaction to Hegseth's speech. Before we began recording,I told him I planned to ask him about this and he agreed to talk about it.When I asked the question during recording, a public relations person from ABC jumped on the line and asked me to stop talking about Hegseth. I pushed back, but not hard enough.The next day, ABC PR reached out via email to ask if I would cut this moment from the show.I will not. It's included here in full. Further, I want to take a moment at the top to highlight the reasons why I brought up Hegseth's speech. There's a lot to it and, honestly, it demands its own episode. Here are Hegseth's thoughts on toxic leaders.“Today, at my direction, we're undertaking a full review of the Department's Definitions of so-called toxic leadership, bullying and hazing, to empower leaders to enforce standards without fear of retribution or second guessing. Of course, you can't do, like nasty bullying and hazing. We're talking about words like bullying and hazing and toxic. They've been weaponized and bastardized inside our formations, undercutting commanders and NCOs. No more. Setting, achieving, and maintaining high standards is what you all do. And if that makes me toxic, then so be it.”Guillén's case also changed the way the Army investigates sexual harassment. Here are the secretary's thoughts on the current state of official internal military investigations:“We are overhauling an inspector-general process, the IG that has been weaponized, putting complainers, ideologues and poor performers in the driver's seat. We're doing the same with the Equal Opportunity and Military Equal Opportunity policies, the EO and MEO, at our department. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints, no more repeat complaints, no more smearing reputations, no more endless waiting, no more legal limbo, no more side-tracking careers, no more walking on eggshells. “Of course, being a racist has been illegal in our formation since 1948. The same goes for sexual harassment. Both are wrong and illegal. Those kinds of infractions will be ruthlessly enforced.”After the speech, Hegseth signed 11 memos that detailed these changes. I'll link them in the show notes. The memos say that the military's definition of “harassment” is overly broad, calls for the end of “anonymous complaints”—something Hegesth also said in his speech, and asks that investigations be completed quickly with the assistance of artificial intelligence.I believe that is all important context for this episode. I also believe that Hegseth's speech and the policy directives represent a regression in the American armed services. I will not pretend otherwise.Listen to the All-New ‘Vanished: What Happened to Vanessa' PodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/warcollege. Hosted on Acast.

This week on the podcast, we're exploring the gentle art of asking for what you really need—no mind-reading required. From communication in relationships to advocating for yourself at work, we'll unpack why asking can feel uncomfortable and how it's actually a form of self-respect. I'll share relatable stories, clear phrasing swaps, and real data on how direct communication reduces burnout, deepens connection, and strengthens confidence.Follow Your Host:Insta:https://www.instagram.com/rumor_in_stpetersburg TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rumor_in_stpetersburg FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/theluxuryofselfcare Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/ahnastasia88?si=ab36621742b4474cPhoto and Music Credit: Cover Art Photography by Tori Radick: https://www.instagram.com/toricophotography/Intro/Outro Music Produced by Ryan Blivhovde: https://www.instagram.com/ryanblihovde/
