En Inde, face aux chaleurs extrêmes, les travailleuses du secteur informel disposent d'une protection innovante : une assurance anti-chaleur. Le principe est simple : dès que la température dépasse les 42°C plusieurs jours de suite, ces femmes reçoivent automatiquement une compensation financière pour remplacer leur salaire perdu. Ce modèle de sécurité climatique n'en est qu'à ses débuts.  De notre correspondant à New Dehli, « J'ai connu ce projet quand ils sont venus nous l'expliquer », confie Komal. Ce sont des agents d'une compagnie d'assurance qui ont démarché la jeune  femme dans l'école privée de New Delhi où elle travaille comme nettoyeuse. À 28 ans, elle a immédiatement calculé l'intérêt de ce dispositif pour protéger son maigre revenu. « Travailler par 40°C, impossible. Je perdais 300 roupies par jour. Cotiser 400 roupies par an pour cette assurance change tout », explique-t-elle. Ce filet de sécurité sans intermédiaire a été pensé pour les travailleuses du secteur informel en Inde. Initié en 2023 par l'ONG SEWA (l'Association des femmes travailleuses indépendantes) dans le Gujarat, ce programme s'étend désormais à trois États. Le principe est simple : contre une cotisation annuelle de trois à quatre dollars, les assurées reçoivent automatiquement une indemnité journalière quand la température devient impossible. Anshu Jha, qui a coordonné ce déploiement pour l'ONG, souligne l'engouement croissant : « Les femmes sont très intéressées par cette assurance. En 2023, elles étaient 21 000, et en 2024, 50 000. Le nombre de bénéficiaires a plus que doublé. » Pour ces femmes payées à la journée, ce dispositif évite de devoir choisir entre la faim et une pénibilité extrême. Dans les rues de la capitale indienne désertées par la chaleur, Sunita vend ses fruits à l'ombre d'un arbre. Elle aussi a souscrit à l'assurance, mais face au coût de la vie, l'indemnité lui paraît maigre. « Je gagne 200 à 300 roupies par jour. Cela pour un ou deux repas. C'est mieux que rien, mais ce n'est pas assez. Un peu plus, ce serait bien », confie-t-elle. Si l'assurance paramétrique existe depuis plus d'une décennie en Inde, la couverture contre la chaleur, elle, commence à peine. Des géants du secteur comme Bajaj Allianz adaptent leurs offres. Ils proposent des contrats sur mesure, valables de quelques jours à plusieurs mois selon les pics de canicule. Ashish Agrawal, directeur technique chez Bajaj General Insurance, anticipe une hausse de la demande : « Aujourd'hui, le climat est le plus grand risque pour tous. Nous devons absolument nous protéger. Je suis sûr que le marché de l'assurance climatique va croître. » Cet été, l'Inde étouffe sous des températures record qui frôlent les 50°C. Près de 400 millions de travailleurs informels subissent de plein fouet ce dérèglement. Face à l'urgence, ces micro-assurances anti-chaleur offrent un premier filet de sécurité pour s'adapter à la crise climatique. À lire aussiEn Inde, une classe moyenne désormais à deux vitesses

In dit gesprek analyseren voormalig wethouder Sunita Biharie en Jasper van Dijk de huidige politieke prioriteiten en maatschappelijke structuren in Nederland. Aan de hand van Biharies achtergrond in de jeugdzorg en haar ervaringen in het openbaar bestuur bespreken zij de mechanismen achter kansenongelijkheid, armoede en de werking van de publieke sector.Centraal staat een kritische evaluatie van macro-economische keuzes, zoals de stijgende defensie-uitgaven in relatie tot bezuinigingen op de zorg en de sociale zekerheid (WW en WIA). Daarnaast bieden zij een heldere blik op het migratiebeleid en pleiten zij voor het overstijgen van identiteitspolitiek ten gunste van brede sociaaleconomische solidariteit. Een sterk gesprek over de spanning tussen activisme en bestuurlijke verantwoordelijkheid.----------Steun DNWMaak het geluid van de Nieuwe Wereld mogelijk. Zonder uw steun geen DNW!

VOV1 - Một vụ lừa đảo hôn nhân gây chấn động Ấn Độ vừa xảy ra tại thành phố Dewas, bang Madhya Pradesh, khi 42 chú rể ăn mặc chỉnh tề, chuẩn bị cho lễ cưới tập thể trong mơ, nhưng cuối cùng không một cô dâu nào xuất hiện.42 chú rể đến từ bang Madhya Pradesh đã xuất hiện trong một đám cưới tập thể. Một số người mặc những bộ sherwani truyền thống rực rỡ, đeo vòng hoa cúc vạn thọ và mang theo những chiếc hộp đựng đầy bánh kẹo. Nhưng rồi, tới tận khuya cô dâu của họ vẫn chưa đến; còn những người thuộc ban tổ chức thì tắt điện thoại và “biến mất”. Những chú rể lúc bấy giờ mới nhận ra họ bị lừa. Một số gia đình quá bức xúc, đã gây náo loạn tại địa điểm tổ chức, buộc cảnh sát phải can thiệp.Theo cảnh sát địa phương, các nạn nhân đến từ nhiều khu vực khác nhau trong bang Madhya Pradesh đã được hứa hẹn sẽ kết hôn với những cô gái được giới thiệu là trẻ mồ côi hoặc có hoàn cảnh khó khăn đến từ một cơ sở bảo trợ ở thành phố Indore. Lễ cưới tập thể được thông báo tổ chức tại đền Mata Tekri ở Dewas hôm 24/5.Cảnh sát cho biết mỗi chú rể đã phải nộp từ 12.000 đến 20.000 rupee (tương đương khoảng gần 4-6 triệu đồng), để tham gia lễ cưới tập thể, ngoài khoản “phí đăng ký” ban đầu là 2.000 rupee/người. Nhiều gia đình còn thuê xe, chuẩn bị tiệc cưới và mời họ hàng tham dự trước khi vụ việc bị vỡ lở.Theo cảnh sát, các nghi phạm đã tải ảnh phụ nữ từ mạng xã hội, trong đó có ảnh người mẫu, rồi gửi cho các chú rể tương lai qua điện thoại để họ “chọn vợ”. Một số nạn nhân cho biết họ được yêu cầu đến Dewas từ ngày 23/5 và được thông báo rằng mọi nghi lễ cưới, trang phục và sắp xếp khác sẽ được chuẩn bị đầy đủ tại địa điểm tổ chức. Một phụ nữ tên Sunita – bị cáo buộc là thành viên đường dây lừa đảo – thậm chí còn xuất hiện tại nơi tổ chức vào buổi sáng để trấn an mọi người rằng các cô dâu đang trên đường từ Indore tới.Cảnh sát hiện đã bắt giữ hai nghi phạm là Mukesh Bairagi và vợ là Sunita, trong khi hai nnghi phạm khác được cho là đang bỏ trốn. Nhà chức trách đã mở hồ sơ điều tra đối với cả bốn người liên quan đến hành vi lừa đảo và tổ chức đám cưới giả để chiếm đoạt tài sản./.Đình Nam/VOV-New DelhiẢnh minh họa của Indiaexpress

British celebrities in the South African Jungle in April? Yes, because these celebrities are WILD! A brand-new series from glitterball.

Mary and Andrew begin this week by welcoming former Assistant US Attorney Sunita Doddamani. A 20-year civil servant with an impeccable record of service, Sunita is one of the prosecutors who was recently fired as part of the DOJ's report about the prior administration's so-called “bias” against abortion protesters and religious rights in FACE Act cases. She talks openly about the "Article II" termination letter she received from Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, with no warning and like many others, seemingly just for doing her job by taking the cases assigned to her. From there, Andrew and Mary look at the administration's moves to vacate the convictions of four Proud Boys who were convicted of multiple felonies related to the attack on January 6th. Then, on to a significant decision from Judge Mehta in a long-running civil lawsuit brought against Trump, finding that the president's January 6th speech was political rather than official in nature, which would rule out immunity for official acts. And before they wrap up, the co-hosts take up the latest ruling on Judge Boasberg's contempt inquiry into whether government officials violated his court orders around those deportation flights in March of 2025.

Why is it so hard to speak up even when you know something's wrong? This is the question that physician, award-winning organizational psychologist, and tenured Professor at Cornell University, Dr. Sunita Sah has been obsessed with for decades. In her illuminating book: Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands YesShe asks us:"How many times have you wanted to object, disagree, or opt out of something—but ended up swallowing your words, shaking your head, and just going along?" And then she invites us:To imagine the life we want to lead, not the one we're willing to accept. In today's conversation we'll dive deep into the topic of defiance, Why the pressure to comply and ‘go along to get along' is a corrosive and often invisible force in our society,And, through an exploration of her revelatory research, How we can radically reframe defiance from a misunderstood negative trait into a crucial, positive force for personal and societal change. Sunita's pioneering work couldn't be more timely. In many ways it serves as a lantern for our times - Shining a much needed light on the path we can all take To stop people pleasing,To start living our truth, and to speak up when it matters most.For more on Dr. Sah, her book, speaking, and other offerings, please visit sunitasah.comDid you find this episode inspiring?

In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast recorded at LongevityFest 2025, host Dr. Lexi Gonzales explores how AI is revolutionizing functional medicine workflows with guests Sunita Mohanty and Crystal Brust. Sunita Mohanty is the CEO and co-founder of Ultralight (formerly Vibrant Practice) and. Crystal Brust is a Stanford-trained functional medicine Physician Assistant and founder of Farm to Functional Medicine. The conversation highlights how the Vibrant Practice platform addresses clinician burnout by integrating AI directly into the electronic health record (EHR) to automate documentation and synthesize complex patient data—such as genetics and timelines—into actionable insights. The guests emphasize that this "full stack" approach not only saves time but transforms the medical record from a static repository into an interactive tool that restores joy, creativity, and confidence to the provider-patient relationship.   For access to episode resources, click HERE.

AI is changing how we build and test software, but most teams are struggling to turn that promise into real results. In this episode, we break down what it actually takes to scale quality engineering across global teams without creating bottlenecks, burnout, or broken processes. You'll learn: why most test automation and transformation initiatives fail how to separate AI hype from reality what high-performing teams are doing differently to ship faster with confidence Today's expert, Sunita McCoy, a Global Engineering Leader and Transformation Specialist, shares practical insights from leading large-scale engineering transformations, including: how to build a culture that supports AI adoption why "quality as a phase" is dead how to shift toward treating quality as a product If you're a QA leader, automation engineer, or DevOps professional trying to improve reliability, reduce risk, and future-proof your skills in the age of AI, this episode gives you a clear path forward.

There are moments when you know something does not feel right, and yet you still hear yourself saying yes. You go along. You stay quiet. You tell yourself it is not worth making an issue of it. I'm revisiting this conversation with Dr. Sunita Sah because it speaks so clearly to that experience, and to the very real reasons it can be so hard to stand up for yourself. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, we talk about what gets in the way of speaking up, saying no, and staying true to your values when there is pressure to do otherwise. Dr. Sah, a physician, organizational psychologist, and author of Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes, shares why so many thoughtful, capable people struggle with assertiveness and personal boundaries, especially when being agreeable has been rewarded for so long. We also talk about the hidden cost of compliance, her research on “insinuation anxiety,” and what it looks like to practice speaking up in a grounded, honest way. This conversation offers a powerful reminder that standing up for yourself is not about becoming harsh. It is about staying connected to your values and trusting yourself enough to act on them.

Visibility is often taught as a strategy — post more, show up more, be everywhere.But what if visibility isn't something you do… but something you become?In this episode of Soul Velocity, Snehal R. Singh sits down with Sunita Menon — personal branding strategist, mindset coach, and TEDx speaker — to explore a deeper truth:

"We are the kind of Hindu that stands up to say no to Hindutva, no to caste," says Sunita Viswanath, executive director and co-founder of Hindus for Human Rights, a non-profit based in the United States that works to counter Hindutva, especially among Indians abroad. "The Hindutva brigade was strong and growing across the diaspora. So we had the fight, of course, for our communities and families in India, but also right here where we live." On 11 March, Viswanath and her team held a launch event in New York City for Hindus for Human Rights Action, a new political advocacy arm that aims to be "unleashing the political voice of progressive Hindus" in the United States. Viswanath joins us for the second episode of VIGILANT, a new podcast hosted by Raghav Bahl, editor-in-chief of The Quint, and discusses the rise of Hindutva beyond India, and the actions that she and others are taking to combat it. The podcast is a part of VIGIL, a new offering on The Quint that discusses and champions themes of pluralism and inclusivity in the Indian diaspora.

Defiance is a practice, not a personality - and it's something anyone can do. In Episode 265, Dr. Sunita Sah drops by to redefine defiance. We discuss why people avoid speaking up, the cost of staying silent, and how we can apply acts of "quiet defiance" in the workplace.

Join host Eve Cunningham, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Cadence, in conversation with Sunita Koshy-Nesbitt, MD, MBA,  Chief Medical and Quality Officer for Texas Health Physicians Group and Chief Quality Officer for the hospital channel at Texas Health Resources. Texas Health Resources is one of the largest and fastest-growing health systems in the country, serving a diverse and rapidly expanding population across North Texas. In this episode, Eve and Sunita explore what it really takes to lead clinical quality at scale in an environment overflowing with data, constrained by workforce realities, and under increasing pressure to deliver better outcomes without adding burden to clinicians. Their conversation focuses on: How clinical training in electrophysiology shapes a leadership mindset built around signal, noise, and actionable data Why health systems must prioritize clinical credibility, workflow simplicity, and scalability when evaluating remote care and digital health solutions What frontline physicians actually need from new technology  How quality, safety, patient experience, equity, and cost are deeply interconnected  Where AI is already delivering real value by reducing administrative burden and improving clinician experience Why operational design is often the root cause of burnout and system failure What it looks like to lead systemwide transformation while staying grounded in evidence, outcomes, and day-to-day clinical realities Dr. Koshy-Nesbitt is a partner of Cadence and not compensated for this podcast.

Why do we say yes when we mean no? In this episode, we talk with Sunita Sah about the psychology of compliance and defiance. From Stanley Milgram's experiments to the hidden force of insinuation anxiety, we explore why compliance is not the same as consent and how to train yourself to act in alignment with your true values.

In those moments when we want to disagree, why do we often stay silent? At those times when we want to opt out, why do we often just go along? A key reason is that it's hard to defy. It's hard to question the way something's always been done. To challenge comments, behaviors, and systems. Yet it's in those moments of defiance that we flex our values and craft an identity. That's why I wanted to talk to Sunita Sah, organizational psychologist at Cornell University and author of the book, Defy: The Power of No in a World that Demands Yes. Her research reveals the importance of defiance and the skills we need to do it well. In her book – and in this conversation – she shares ways we can practice it and support others doing the same.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Rekindling Old Ties: A Holi Celebration at Humayun's Tomb Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-03-05-08-38-20-hi Story Transcript:Hi: दिल्ली के बहार धीरे-धीरे खुल रही थी, और होली का रंगीन त्योहार चारों ओर फैला था।En: Delhi was slowly waking up, and the colorful festival of Holi was spreading all around.Hi: हुमायूँ का मकबरा, अपने पुराने दिनों की वीरता को महसूस करता हुआ, आज के रंगों में लिपटा हुआ था।En: Humayun's Tomb, feeling the valor of its past days, was wrapped in today's colors.Hi: हवा में गूंज रहे ढोल के स्वर और हंसी के ठहाके इस जगह की शांति को नए जीवन से भर रहे थे।En: The sound of drums echoing in the air and peals of laughter were filling this tranquil place with new life.Hi: इसी अद्भुत दृश्य के बीच तीन पुराने दोस्त—अर्जुन, मीरा और सुनीता—फिर से एक होने आए थे।En: Amidst this incredible scene, three old friends—Arjun, Meera, and Sunita—had come together once again.Hi: अर्जुन ने अपने दोस्तों को वहाँ बुलाया था, एक लंबे अंतराल के बाद।En: Arjun had called his friends there after a long interval.Hi: उसके दिल में अपने पुराने दोस्ती का जोश था, पर एक हल्की चिंता भी।En: There was zeal for his old friendship in his heart, but also a slight worry.Hi: "क्या ये दोस्ती वैसे ही रहेगी?En: "Will this friendship remain the same?"Hi: " उसने अपने आप से पूछा।En: he asked himself.Hi: मीरा थोड़ी खोई हुई थी, नज़र उन घटनाओं पर, जो पिछले मिलन में गलतफहमियां छोड़ गई थीं।En: Meera was a bit lost, her gaze lingering on the incidents that had left misunderstandings during their last meeting.Hi: और सुनीता, हमेशा की तरह, उत्साह के साथ लेकिन सोच-विचार से, दोनों को साथ रखने की कोशिश में थी।En: And Sunita, as always, was trying with enthusiasm but thoughtfulness to keep them together.Hi: जैसे-जैसे होली का रंग छिटका, अर्जुन ने आगे बढ़ कर कहा, "हम सब अलग-अलग हो गए हैं, लेकिन आज हम सब कुछ भूलने और फिर से हुनहार होने आए हैं।En: As the colors of Holi scattered, Arjun stepped forward and said, "We have all drifted apart, but today we have come to forget everything and become promising once again."Hi: " उसकी बात सुनकर मीरा थोड़ी चिंतित हो गई, मानो पुरानी बातें फिर से उभर आई हों।En: Hearing this, Meera became a little anxious, as if past issues were resurfacing.Hi: लेकिन सुनीता ने माहौल को संभाल लिया।En: But Sunita managed the atmosphere.Hi: "चलो, रंगों में सब दर्द भूल जाएं," उसने कहा और दोनों पर गुलाल छिड़क दिया।En: "Come on, let's forget all the pains in the colors," she said and sprinkled gulal on both of them.Hi: सब हंस पड़े और दिल हल्के हो गए।En: Everyone laughed, and their hearts felt lighter.Hi: लेकिन कुछ देर बाद, चिंता दोबारा उभर आई।En: However, after a while, the concern surfaced again.Hi: मीरा ने हल्की सी आवाज़ में अर्जुन से कहा, "कुछ ऐसे पल थे जब मुझे तुम्हारी बातों का मतलब समझ नहीं आया।En: In a soft voice, Meera said to Arjun, "There were moments when I did not understand the meaning of your words."Hi: " अर्जुन ने भी अपनी शर्मिंदगी को स्वीकार किया और कहा, "मुझे लगता था कि मैं शायद तुम्हें खो चुका हूं।En: Arjun also acknowledged his embarrassment and said, "I thought perhaps I had lost you."Hi: "इस बात ने कुछ पल के लिए खामोशी ला दी।En: This brought a moment of silence.Hi: लेकिन वो खामोशी चली गई जब सुनीता बोली, "सच बता दूं?En: But it vanished when Sunita said, "Shall I tell the truth?Hi: मैं हमेशा से जानती थी कि हम फिर से ऐसे मिलेंगे।En: I always knew we would meet like this again."Hi: "अर्जुन, मीरा और सुनीता एक-दूसरे की ओर देख कर मुस्कुरा उठे।En: Arjun, Meera, and Sunita looked at each other and smiled.Hi: उन सबने महसूस किया कि वे एक-दूसरे को खो चुके नहीं हैं, बल्कि समय के साथ कुछ और मजबूत हो गए हैं।En: They all realized that they had not lost each other but had grown stronger over time.Hi: फिर सबने एक-दूसरे पर रंग डालना शुरू किया।En: Then they started to shower colors on each other.Hi: उनके चेहरे रंग-बिरंगे हो गए, लेकिन दिल में नयापन था।En: Their faces became colorful, but there was a freshness in their hearts.Hi: दिन के अंत में, जब सूरज ने आकाश को अपने रंगों से भर दिया था, अर्जुन ने महसूस किया कि दोस्ती का असली रंग समय के साथ बदल सकता है, लेकिन उसकी गहराई कभी कम नहीं होती।En: At the end of the day, when the sun filled the sky with its colors, Arjun realized that the true color of friendship might change over time, but its depth never diminishes.Hi: और इस प्रकार, तीनों दोस्तों ने हंसते-गाते, होली का त्योहार दिल से मनाया, उनकी दोस्ती में एक नई शुरुआत होने का अहसास लेकर।En: And so, the three friends celebrated the Holi festival with all their hearts, carrying a sense of a new beginning in their friendship.

A spontaneous Wednesday transmission that was never supposed to happen. The moon is in Pisces. The energy is eerie. And she's angry.This is the unfiltered rant about men in backwards caps presenting "frameworks" like they invented something new, women's conferences that claim to be different but are just the same bro marketing repackaged with "hey girly" energy, and speaker applications that ask for social media follower counts. It's about being a one-line investigator in human design (perpetually curious, never satisfied, always getting nuggets), having an undefined throat that says what everyone else is thinking, and having a defined heart that gives you the confidence to actually say it—which makes you a leper.Also: why hazelnut Chobani tastes the same as sweet Chantilly (it's all emotional support creamer), why consumer packaged goods companies own all the indie brands you think are saving the environment, and why the brand name "Kumar" isn't even her name and gives her a pebble in her shoe every time she sees it. Four years ago, a spiritualist told her "you're simply Sunita." And that's the truth.This is the final transmission before going into the cave for March, April, May, June. Season 4 is wrapping. She'll be back when she's back.This episode covers:Men presenting branding frameworks like they hung the moonWomen's conferences: same wine, different bottle (not new energy)One-line investigator in human design (curiosity, market research, getting nuggets)Undefined throat + defined heart = saying what others think (and being shunned for it)Why CPG companies own all the "indie" brandsEmotional support creamer (hazelnut Chobani vs. sweet Chantilly)The brand name Kumar isn't her real name (and it bothers her)A spiritualist's prediction 4 years ago: "You're simply Sunita"Moon in Pisces, eerie energyWrapping Season 4, going into cave mode March-JuneReevaluating everything as a business ownerPerfect for:People tired of the same business coaching repackagedWomen exhausted by "girly" empowerment conferencesAnyone who's ever wanted to blow up their brandListeners who appreciate unfiltered truth-tellingBusiness owners reevaluating everything right nowKeywords: men in business coaching, women's conferences same energy, simply Sunita, undefined throat defined heart, one line investigator human design, market research curiosity, brand name identity, wrapping Season 4, going into cave, Moon in Pisces, bro marketing repackaged, speaking events follower counts, reevaluating business, truth telling hereticMentioned in This Episode:Podcast with Daniela on Tapped In Conversations (first episode of Clear Signal, on Substack with video)Clear Signal episode dropping Friday (was supposed to be Tuesday for new moon)Final transmission dropping SundayEmail list transmissionGoing into cave mode: March, April, May, JuneSpiritualist reading 4 years agoConsumer packaged goods background (2022-2023 era)Graduate school specialized in brand managementMarket research firm she used to runChobani hazelnut vs. sweet Chantilly creamer

What does it really take to speak up when something doesn't feel right, especially in systems that quietly reward compliance and silence?In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Sunita Sah, award-winning Cornell professor, organizational psychologist, and one of the world's leading researchers on authority, compliance, and defiance. Dr Sah's work challenges the idea that defiance is disruptive or extreme, reframing it instead as a grounded act of integrity and courage.We explore why good people so often go along with things they don't agree with, how subtle psychological forces like Insinuation Anxiety shape our behavior, and why compliance is not a personal failing but a deeply human response to pressure. Dr Sah shares insights from her research, her background in medicine and systems leadership, and the practical frameworks she's developed to help people move from inner knowing to ethical action.This is a rich, illuminating conversation for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that something essential is lost when we stay silent, and who want to reclaim their agency without becoming combative, burned out, or disconnected from their values.About Dr. Sunita SahDr. Sunita Sah is an award-winning, tenured professor at Cornell University and a leading expert in organizational psychology.

Eclipse Readings⁠ ($111, Expire 2/13)⁠FUTURE SHOW SPECIFIC EMAIL LISTIn this episode of The Dark Matter Show, eclipse season reaches peak weirdness as Uranus stations, Saturn prepares to enter Aries, and the universe makes it very clear who's driving the timeline.What begins as a recovered “lost” episode turns into a live transmission on synchronicity, disrupted plans, system failures, and why none of it is actually a mistake. As eclipses accelerate change, this episode explores what happens when human planning collides with divine timing — and why releasing the wheel may be the only sane response.Sunita reflects on liberation moments, intuition ignored and reclaimed, and the long arc of Neptune in Pisces finally asking, what have we really been doing for the last 15 years? With Saturn entering Aries, the conversation turns toward structure, courage, professionalism, mentorship, initiation, and the radical permission to start again — regardless of age or timeline.This episode weaves together:eclipse season chaos and course correctionUranus stationing and breakthrough realizationsSaturn entering Aries as a collective reset pointsynchronicity, downloads, and “aha” momentsintuition, instinct, and lived astrological cyclescreativity, mentorship, and redefining professionalismwhy Aquarius blends rule-breaking with responsibility

Kapitanka, astronavtka slovenskih korenin, Sunita "Suni" Williams nas je popeljala v termosfero, na višino 400 kilometrov. V sklopu treh poletov je v vesolje letela s Spaceshuttlom, ruskim Sojuzom in Boeingovim Starlinerjem, "tam" gor pa je zabeležila kar 608 (!) dni. Kakšen vonj ima vesolje? Kateri sedeži so udobnejši, v Spaceshuttlu ali Sojuzu? Kakšni so občutki, ko se sproži vžig in brutalni potisk! "Suni" je v svoji izjemni karieri "naletela" več kot 3.000 ur letenja in držala krmila več kot tridesetih zračnih plovil, med drugim tudi helikopterja Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk, nadzvočnega reaktivca T-38 Talon, C130 Herkules, KC-135 "Vomit Comet" ("zero gravity" letenje) in številnih drugih.

Nekdanja Nasina astronavtka Sunita Williams, rekorderka po skupnem času vesoljskih sprehodov med ženskami, je te dni znova na obisku v Sloveniji. Našo državo je obiskala že večkrat, nazadnje oktobra lani, ko je skupaj z mamo in sestro obiskala Leše pri Tržiču, rojstno vas svoje prababice Marije Bohinec. To je bilo kmalu po njeni zadnji vesoljski misiji, ki bi morala trajati le osem dni, a se je zaradi tehničnih težav z Boeingovim plovilom Starliner podaljšala na več kot devet mesecev. Njen tokratni tridnevni obisk pa je namenjen predstavitvi njenih izkušenj z življenjem in delom v vesolju, razpravi o sodelovanju na področju raziskovanja vesolja ter spodbujanju zanimanja za znanost med mladimi. Med drugim je včeraj obiskala tudi ljubljansko Fakulteto za matematiko in fiziko, kjer je nagovorila poln avditorij po večini mladih obiskovalcev. Posnetek njenega gostovanja na Fakulteti za matematiko in fiziko v Ljubljani si lahko ogledate tukaj.     Avtor fotografije: Jure Makovec/STA

Six years. 375 episodes. Nearly 2 million downloads in 2025 alone. This episode is a sweaty, unfiltered victory lap — celebrating what worked, what stretched us, what scared the hell out of us, and what clearly mattered most to you, the listener. Every year, we look at the numbers and let you decide. These aren't just popular episodes — they're a reflection of what women were wrestling with, questioning, building, and boldly reimagining in 2025. From spiritual health to entrepreneurship, belief, boundaries, death, defiance, and codependency — this list tells a story. If you're new here, welcome — any one of these episodes is a great place to start. If you've been here a while, this is your reminder to go back and re-listen. Trust me — they hit differently the second time.

Channel of Mutation ends and Sunita turns back into a pumpkin. This reference is relevant for the episode.

Most of us were taught to be agreeable. To be easy. To be helpful. But constantly saying “yes” can drain our energy and derail our careers. In this episode from the Hello Monday archives, Jessi Hempel sits down with Dr. Sunita Sah, author of Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes, to explore why saying “no” feels so hard and why reclaiming defiance is essential to our confidence, clarity, and integrity. In her conversation with Jessi, Dr. Sah breaks down how to recognize compliance, interrupt it, and rebuild a relationship with “no” that is grounded, principled, and guilt-free. Jessi and Dr. Sah discuss: Why saying “no” triggers discomfort What insinuation anxiety is, and how it quietly shapes workplace behavior Strategies to speak up even when the stakes feel high How to break patterns of over-compliance and reclaim autonomy How to make defiance a practice How to align your “no” with your values Continue the conversation with us at Hello Monday Office Hours! Join us on the LinkedIn News page this Wednesday at 3 PM ET.

In this episode of The Evolving Leader, hosts Jean Gomes and Scott Allender are joined by Dr. Sunita Sah, a physician turned organisational psychologist and Professor of Management at Cornell University. Together they explore the power of saying “no” in a world that rewards compliance. Drawing from her acclaimed book “Defy: The Power of No in a World that Demands Yes”, Dr Sah reveals how our upbringing, institutions, and social pressures teach us to equate being “good” with being obedient, and how that conditioning can silence our values. She introduces the concept of “insinuation anxiety,” the discomfort of implying distrust when we disagree, and shares how to build the courage and skill to act in alignment with what truly matters.For senior leaders, this conversation reframes defiance as an essential leadership practice, not rebellion, but integrity in action. Sah explains the five stages of defiance, the cost of compliance, and why organisations that cultivate psychological safety and intellectual humility outperform those that suppress challenge. It's a thought-provoking guide to leading with authenticity, courage, and moral clarity in complex systems where it's often easier to say yes.Further materials from Sunita Sah:“Defy: The Power of No in a Worlds That Demands Yes”, (Blink Publishing, February 2025)“The science of defiance: A psychology researcher explains why people comply – and how to resist”, (The Conversations, September 2025)“America thinks it's a country of free thinkers.

In this episode of Urban Nature, Sunita Narain explores the concept of “environmentalism of the poor”, contrasting it with the technocratic, middle-class environmentalism that often externalizes costs and creates new problems while trying to solve old ones. She emphasizes equity, local knowledge, and practical solutions that consider both human needs and environmental sustainability. Narain critiques conventional approaches to climate change, urban planning, and renewable energy, highlighting the resistance of professional orthodoxies to innovative ideas. She underscores that inclusive development is synonymous with sustainable development, and stresses the need for courage, imagination, and hope in addressing global environmental crises.

My guest is Dr. Sunita Puri, a palliative-care physician and author of That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the Eleventh Hour. We talk about what it really means to care for patients when cure is no longer the goal, why our medical system resists honest conversations about death, and how clarity and compassion can coexist at the end of life. Topics we cover:     • What palliative care really provides (beyond hospice)     • Why "more treatment" ≠ "more life"     • Prognosis, probabilities, and telling the truth kindly     • How families can ask the right questions     • Documentation that matters (and what to avoid)     • The moral distress of clinicians     • Cultural/faith factors that shape decisions     • Dignity, autonomy, and realistic hope Guest Bio: Dr. Sunita Puri is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, where she is the Director of the Inpatient Palliative Care Service. She has written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The Atlantic, among other publications. She is the author of That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the Eleventh Hour, a critically acclaimed literary memoir examining her journey to the practice of palliative medicine, and her quest to help patients and families redefine what it means to live and die well in the face of serious illness.

It is a rare opportunity to hear about a mission to space firsthand from any NASA astronaut, and Euclid, Ohio, native Sunita "Suni" Williams certainly has an extraordinary experience to share. On June 5, 2024, she was launched on the new Boeing Starliner spacecraft for what was intended to be an eight-day mission on the International Space Station (ISS). It ended up being a nine-month stay after technical issues forced the spacecraft to return to Earth uncrewed. While her timeline aboard the ISS faced uncertainty, Williams' work and commitment to science and innovation never wavered. Together with the crew, she completed more than 900 hours of research between more than 150 unique scientific experiments during her stay.rnrnThroughout her three-decade career, Williams has logged 608 days in space over her three flights. She has also completed 62 hours and 6 minutes of total spacewalk time. That's the most of any female astronaut, and fourth on NASA's all-time list.rnrnModerating the conversation is astronaut Douglas H. Wheelock. Like his colleague Sunita, he was also selected by NASA in 1998. On October 23, 2007, Wheelock launched on his first spaceflight aboard Space Shuttle Discovery. The retired Colonel has accumulated more than 178 days in space.rnrnTo mark Ohio Space Week, and in partnership with Great Lakes Science Center, join us for an inspiring conversation between two NASA astronauts - Sunita L. Williams and Doug H. Wheelock - on what it takes to live and work in zero gravity, and the importance of space exploration today.

Sometimes saying “yes” too much can really take a toll on you. In this episode, Jill chats with Dr. Sunita Sah, a bestselling author and Cornell professor, about her book Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes. They break down how constant compliance can affect your emotions, mind, and body, and share strategies for recognizing when it's time to push back. Sunita introduces the concept of a ‘Defiance Compass' to help guide people in acting according to their values. You'll also learn about the difference between going along with something and truly giving consent, how anxiety can arise in difficult situations, and why practicing small acts of defiance can prepare you for bigger, high-stakes moments. Listen and Learn: How can redefining "defiance" from a negative act of resistance to an alignment with true values help us better understand the balance between compliance, consent, and social pressure?Why is defiance better understood as a staged process on a continuum rather than a simple yes/no choice, and how does recognizing tension help us navigate compliance?Distinguishing between true expert intuition and bias-driven gut feelings when making decisions in uncertain situationsWhy is it so difficult for people to resist compliance and obedience in high-pressure situations, and how can practicing defiance help us prepare to say no and prevent harm?How can we recognize the difference between true consent and mere compliance, and what essential elements are needed to ensure a genuine "yes"?Navigating situations where we technically have the freedom to say no, but psychological pressures like insinuation anxiety or fear of consequences make it difficult to speak upHow do insinuation anxiety and the sales pitch effect interact to increase pressure to comply, even when consent is technically present?Overcoming the tension and fear of non-compliance to act in alignment with our values using tools like the Defiance CompassHow you can practice defiance as a skillResources:Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593445778Sunita's Website: https://www.sunitasah.com/Connect with Sunita on Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/drsunitasahhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drsunitasah/https://www.tiktok.com/@drsunitasah About Sunita SahDr. Sunita Sah is a national bestselling author, an award-winning professor at Cornell University, and an expert in organizational psychology.

President Trump's threat to double tariffs on Indian goods, to 50%, as punishment for the country's continued purchase of Russian oil, puts India in an untenable position. The US is its top export market, but India is deeply reliant on importing energy to support the needs of its 1.4 billion people. As the world's most populous nation and one of its fastest-growing economies, India faces unprecedented energy demands and also pressure to meet that demand with clean energy. Today, around 70 percent of the country's electricity comes from coal — a major contributor to air pollution in India's large cities. So how can India meet its fast-growing energy needs while also ensuring energy affordability, equity, and public health? Where is India in making progress toward deploying clean energy? What role might conventional energy continue to play? And how does India's relationship with China factor into its decarbonization efforts? This week, Jason talks to Sunita Narain about the state of India's clean energy transition. Sunita is executive director of the Centre for Science and Environment, a research and advocacy center where she has worked since 1982. In 2016, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.  Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:47  Hello, you guys. Happy Fuck Yeah Friday. Welcome. How are you? This is where we do a quick, quick episode celebrating your wins. You might, you might hear your win, and it's going to be later than you sent it, so it'll be a reminder of a win you had, and you get to hear a win of mine, and hopefully that helps you see that there's like, wins happening all the time, and then some inspiration and affirmation. Lesley Logan 1:06  So okay, so I saved this back when everyone was, like, up in a tizzy about the all those rich women who went to space, and of course, there were some people who went on there who are actual scientists and have done some amazing things in this world to, like, change things. So we don't discount that there were some epic things going on there, but I remember it happening around the same time that Sunita Williams came back from she was there for 286 days. Okay, so we're gonna talk about her. I'm just gonna read the actual thing. The actual post. This is from Female Quotient, and I'll put the link in the show notes. But she was supposed to go to space for like, eight days, and ended up there for nine months. And so I remember this happened. I'm like, what if she, like, parked and just like, long term parking. Like, you went away for eight days, so you have, like, what a dog set up for eight days, but now you're gone for nine months. Like, just, can you imagine all the things? Like, do you have? All the things you need? I'm just hopefully, I don't know if she has a cycle. I'm just, like, a little worried about that. Anyways. So meet and welcome home, obviously, she's been home for a bit, but let's just talk about her, because we need to, she did not get enough press, and we have to, let's do that, Be It babes together. Sunita Williams, record-breaking astronaut, pilot and trailblazer, who returned to Earth after 286 in space with fellow astronaut, Butch Wilmore. One of the most experienced spacewalkers in the world, she holds the record for the most spacewalks by a woman. Williams, originally from Ohio, was a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot who logged 3000 flight hours and 30 different aircrafts before becoming a NASA astronaut. Fast forward eight years, and she took her first space flight aboard the ISS. Her career accomplishments are out of this world and growing. Spent 608 plus days in space, ran the Boston Marathon in space on a treadmill, oh, my God, completed nine spacewalks totaling over 60 hours, was the first person to pilot a spacecraft using only touch screen controls., was the first woman to command the International Space Station twice, among the first astronauts chosen for NASA's Artemis missions, aiming to bring humans to the moon. More Fun Facts, during her most recent mission, because of her high speed, 28,000 kilometer per hour and low gravity, Sunita technically experienced time slower than us on Earth. She grew space lettuce, helping NASA study space food production, because the ISS orbits Earth every 90 minutes, she witnessed 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets per day. Oh, my God, so Sunita Williams shows us that strength, curiousity and resilience can really take you places. Sunita, thanks for being a badass. Thank you for your 286 days on, you know, up there and like, what an inconvenience. And also, like, for just like, I mean, not being scared to do, like, some crazy stuff, like, you're just, we need more. Like, that's the news I want to hear. Why didn't I hear that? Why do I have to hear about like, Katy Perry going to space like, I don't really care. Anyways, that's just me. Lesley Logan 3:48  Okay, now it's time for one of your wins. Heather Ingram. I had an opportunity to sub a bunch of hours at a studio this week, and had two new clients in my studio as well. I had some moments of awe at how more comfortable, confident and knowledgeable I am as an instructor, and I said to myself, self, you're a great instructor. Will there always be more to learn and apply? Absolutely. But after pursuing this passion the past seven years of teaching, I'm so much more confident, and I'm attracting a great client tribe, and I'm more in tune with listening to my gut and being in practice versus perfection with clients my self practice and my business. Thanks to all the communities in Agency, eLevate, OPC, I feel grateful to know what it feels like to be firing a little bit more on all cylinders, and some days will always just be hard, but everything feels a bit better. Plus, the sun has been out in Seattle for eight days straight, so maybe that's it, too. Heather Ingram, yes, girl, yes. Oh my God. I love it so much. I love it so much. I think that's like, a huge that's such a big win. I'm just going to leave it with one win from you all just because I just want to let that all sink in. Like, how many times have you been like, investing in learning, investing in growing, investing in time and energy and understanding something? And how many of those times you sit back and go, whoa. Look what I, look how far I've come. Like, how often have you looked in the rear view mirror, like, what a badass am I? I'm like, celebrate before you hit that next peak. Like, Heather, your win, I think truly is one of the biggest wins we could have. Like, I think sometimes we think, oh, I don't have a big win because I haven't been to space yet. But like, understanding, acknowledging and celebrating like that you're doing a badass job. That is, like, probably one of the biggest wins ever. And I'm so, so stoked for you. So thank you for sharing that. Lesley Logan 5:23  All right, now it's time for one of my wins. So, you guys, I'm currently in Los Angeles visiting friends, and that's my win. I'm about to go on a big tour, our summer tour, and you'll hear more about that in the future episodes. But I have had, like, I've tried many different things on, like, oh, let's do a vacation at the end of the tour. Let's try to do some days off in the tour. And we are doing that. But most of the people are like, oh, I couldn't go on vacation before something, because, like, I have that thing on my mind. Let me just tell you, yes, the tour is on my mind, and yes, there is promo happening about it. But also I like, gotta be honest, I'm so excited to take some well-rested spa time before I go on tour. So I'm going on a spa day with some girlfriends. I'm seeing some friends I haven't seen in a long time, because we don't go to go to L.A. as often as possible, as we used to, like, just seemed like things were easier when you couldn't travel anywhere else, but where you could drive. Like, we went to L.A. almost monthly. And so here we are, like, like, I don't know when the last time we were there, so I'm just super, super excited, and that's my win. So if you plan some time off for yourself, you need to pat yourself on the back. Give yourself a high five. You just had a win. Lesley Logan 6:28  All right. Affirmation, affirmation. Be good to yourself. Be good to yourself. Be good to yourself. Are you being good to yourself? Like, what? Yes, be good to yourself. You're a badass, you're amazing. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 6:46  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

In those moments when we want to disagree, why do we often stay silent? At those times when we want to opt out, why do we often just go along? A key reason is that it's hard to defy. It's hard to question the way something's always been done. To challenge comments, behaviors, and systems. Yet it's in those moments of defiance that we flex our values and craft an identity. That's why I wanted to talk to Sunita Sah, organizational psychologist at Cornell University and author of the book, Defy: The Power of No in a World that Demands Yes. Her research reveals the importance of defiance and the skills we need to do it well. In her book – and in this conversation – she shares ways we can practice it and support others doing the same.

How do you stay true to your values when the world pushes you to conform? Sharon McMahon is joined by award-winning Cornell professor Dr. Sunita Sah to talk about her new book, “DEFY: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes.” Dr. Sah breaks down why we feel pressured to comply—and says real defiance isn't about rebellion, but about standing up for what you believe, even when it's uncomfortable. After listening to this discussion, even the most obedient people pleasers will be able to say no.

Sunita Sah (Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes) is an author, award-winning, tenured professor at Cornell University, and expert in organizational psychology. Sunita joins the Armchair Expert to discuss living up to the Sanskrit meaning of her name, why Milgram's electric shock experiment pushed her to pursue psychology, and how some of the wildest and offtrack people she knows are doctors. Sunita and Dax talk about how speaking up when you see something happening to someone else is a communal act, how Dax goes straight from tension to defiance, and whether defiance is evolutionarily maladaptive. Sunita explains the five elements that define a true yes, how we can reduce stress by clarifying and acting in alignment to our values, and tells the story of her mother's defiance that surprised her and taught her hope.
