As they near the end of production, Liz and Sarah talk about their bad case of senioritis: the writing is done, shooting is almost done, but there's still work left to do! How do they stay focused? In Take a Hike, they reveal how they're challenging themselves to use this time of transition as a fresh start. Then Liz and Sarah give themselves a zip lining Hit and a behind-the-scenes photos Bomb.

It's the last episode of Season 1! Man, time flies when you're talking about aliens and murder. In this episode, Melissa explores the legend of Bigfoot - or BigTootsies, as Liz would say. Then Liz takes us down the rabbit hole of sadness and intrigue that is the unsolved murder of JonBenet Ramsey.

Liz and Sarah discuss their recent realization that eight months ago, Fantasy Island wasn’t even on their project list— and now it’s their whole lives! If there’s one thing all of us have learned this past year it’s that we just never know what’s around the corner. Then Liz shares why “embracing the hate” has made her a better Showrunner. In Hits and Bombs, Liz gives a hit to the new book Just Work: Get Shit Done Fast & Fair, and Sarah gives herself a bomb for being scattered. This week’s Hollywood Hack: Do something on a lark. Sarah did, and now she’s moving to Ojai!

Has it already been five episodes?? This week we get a little extra...terrestrial as Melissa recounts the story of Terry Lovelace, a man who had an out-of-this-world experience while on a camping trip with his friend Toby. That's right, we're finally talking ALIENS! Melissa's favorite topic! Then Liz recounts the story of Juana Barraza aka "The Old Lady Killer", who was a little bit David Bowie, a little bit Hulk Hogan. You'll see what we mean. Just listen. Side note: please excuse our extra silliness and many tangents this week - we think those brownies we ate before recording might have been "special".

Bit of a mixed bag from our Castologists this week! Nick looks at the doping and the Olympics with Bloodsport, Zane takes a look at a panel show that’s part politics part pop culture and part world changing with Bad Faith. Then Liz settles down by the metaphorical fireplace for a mystery novel or two read by Phoebe Judge with Phoebe Reads a Mystery. Then it’s on to the reviews!Liz Recommends - Phoebe Reads a Mystery https://thisiscriminal.com/mystery/In what is probably the shortest episode description Liz has chosen yet, Phoebe Judge (Criminal) reads a chapter a day from a classic mystery novel.For both: whatever book takes your fancy.https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/phoebe-reads-a-mystery/id1503921457Nick Recommends - BloodsportThe story of the systematic doping of the 2012 and 2014 Olympics by the Russian state set against the ongoing attempts to catch the cheats.For both: From the starthttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/bloodsport/id1522052223Zane Recommends - Bad Faithhttps://www.patreon.com/badfaithpodcastBad Faith is two shows in one: it's a panel show about politics and pop culture with a rotating cast of performers and politicians, artists and activists, writers and radicals; and it's a two-way podcast where two people from two very different parts of the left make the case for one less terrible world.With civilization for the most part collapsing, the task of building a united left is more than urgent than ever.

Liz and Sarah talk about the benefits of being “yes people” at work. One advantage? When you almost always say “yes,” your “no” means more. In Take A Hike, they discuss their recent epiphany that sometimes it’s a good idea to add another cook in the kitchen. Then Liz and Sarah give a joint Hit to Fantasy Island writers’ assistant, Kira Bennett, who delivers consistently great notes. And they give themselves a Bomb for wasting so much time and energy over the past four years on chaotic, unpleasant news. Finally, this week’s Hollywood Hack is both cozy and stylish: Giant Hoodies!

First, Ben tackles the latest on Dwayne Haskins and the predicament for coach Ron Rivera after the quarterback was caught partying maskless following Sunday's loss. Then Liz helps detail the latest news involving Snyder including his ongoing legal battle with the team's minority owners and the sexual misconduct claim involving Snyder and a former female employee leading to a $1.6 million settlement (19:14)

This week we set a challenge for each Castologist to recommend a podcast they think one of the OTHER Castologists would normally recommend! Still with us? SO: Zane brought a podcast on sex, feminism and mortality for Liz: Dying for Sex. Then, Nick recommended a historical journey for Zane with Tides of History. Then Liz did her darndest to impress Nick with a podcast containing all his favourite things including boats, shipping containers, spies and intrigue with The Last Voyage of the Pong Su. Then, it's time for the reviews of last week's podcast.Liz Recommends - The Last Voyage of the Pong Suhttps://www.theage.com.au/pong-suA North Korean dictator, bags of heroin, drug lords, spooks, sailors, Australian cops and a web of lies: Come aboard The Last Voyage of The Pong Su.Featuring conversations recorded by listening devices, and translated. Interviews. Reported by Richard Baker (The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald) and produced by Rachael Dexter, The Last Voyage of The Pong Su tells the story of an ill-fated 2003 drug trafficking operation involving a North Korean cargo ship, its crew and members of an Asian crime syndicate targeting Australia with a then-record amount of heroin (estimated street value of A$160 million.)The podcast also won the Melbourne Press Club's Quill award for podcasting.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pong_Su_incidentDescriptionFor Nick: Start from the start, it's a serial.Nick Recommends - Tides of HistoryZane LOVES history so Nick chose HISTORY to curry favour with the podfather. Those echoes define the boundaries of states and countries, how we pray and how we fight. They determine what money we spend and and how we earn it at work, what language we speak and how we raise our children.

Sarah gives a shout out to all the truck drivers who made her grueling RV drive to Kansas City and back better and safer. Then Liz and Sarah talk to iconic labor leader and activist, Dolores Huerta, about her decades long fight for social justice. At ninety years old, is she finally able to relax? The answer is absolutely not. This week’s Hollywood Hack comes from Everything Happens host, Kate Bowler: reassess the Covid-19 situation every two weeks (and don’t stress about it in between).  Happier in Hollywood is part of ‘The Onward Project,’ a family of podcasts brought together by Gretchen Rubin—all about how to make your life better. Check out the other Onward Project podcasts—Happier with Gretchen Rubin, Side Hustle School, Do The Thing, and Everything Happens with Kate Bowler .

Heads up: this is a really sad episode. The first 21 minutes include personal talk about Liz's life. So, for this week, please skip ahead if you just want to hear about Teen Mom.

Sarah shares her Covid-19 mantra: Does this matter? Liz’s is “closer, stronger, lighter.“ Then Liz and Sarah discuss how living through this extraordinary time is — surprisingly — making them want to take more professional risks. Is it finally time to “ride the dragon?” In The Craft (And Fain), they explore what makes a good idea good. The five elements: clarity, specificity, dynamics, legs, and relevance.

Violet visits Happier In Hollywood to talk about being “safer at home” from a kid’s point of view. Then Liz and Sarah talk to author and host of Side Hustle School, Chris Guillebeau, about his new book The Money Tree. Chris says there’s money in your own backyard, and he challenges all of us to find it. In Hits & Bombs, Sarah gives herself a survival hit and Liz gives herself a writing bomb.

RadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Don’t ask David Waldman how the debates went, he didn’t watch them. Oh wait, you can ask him, we just spent the last couple of hours finding out all about them. We’re all awaiting the Roger Stone sentencing (Spoiler Alert!), but it probably doesn’t matter. Trump will pardon him once Roger’s check clears. The humanly decent thing to do would be to lock Stone away from decent humanity forever. Hey, wasn’t it like… yesterday when Elizabeth Warren was completely doomed? Then Liz came in and walloped, pummeled, thrashed, and clobbered Mike Bloomberg at the Democratic debate. She eviscerated Bloomberg. Stepped on him like King Kong. Tore him a dozen new ones. Why, Elizabeth Warren took Mike Bloomberg and…  Greg Dworkin says all that probably won’t matter. Bernie’s way in the lead, especially if you are under 50. (Those over 50 may have actually seen an actuarial table.) Warren wasted her entire time last night building her brand and broadening her base instead of tilting at Bernie. Who pays attention to debates anyhow? They probably don’t matter. As predicted, Bloomberg blew the debate but today bought a few endorsements to make himself feel nice. Anyhow, you didn’t see any Dems do that thing someone said they should do if they really want to beat Trump...  Eh, it probably won’t matter. Meanwhile, Pete and Amy’s love-hate relationship continued to blossom, but don’t expect a proposal in the fourth season. And, Joe was there too. Donald Trump is a puppet. Therefore he understands the need for puppets. His latest is Richard Grenell as Acting Head of Intelligence, who fits all the requirements for the position. And, it’s @Darwin_Darko deja vu as we finally get to listen to Darwin’s unabridged report on the new members of our new Space Force. “Spacemen” and “space cadets” are out, so what do we call them? What does military publication Stars and Stripes do when Trump treats them like PBS?

We hear from a lot of listeners about the disconnect between their corporate culture and what the company SAYS their culture is. For example, we recently had a caller named Carly who said her managers ruled by shame and fear but their corporate values called for them to be “Courgeously Forthright,” which would be hilarious if it weren’t so hard on people. So when we got an email from a company named Tuthill about how they were shaping their culture, it got our attention. Chad Gabriel is Tuthill’s “Sherpa of Purpose” and he’s the host/narrator of the docu-series The Search For Aliveness. Today, Chad shares how being an actual human at the office can be good for everyone on the team.Then Liz and Rico analyze a clip from the NBC sitcom, “Superstore.” And discuss what that show says about giving feedback to employees. And later, we read a letter from a listener who’s having a hard time getting hired because of the stigma that comes with being a military spouse. For some advice from a person who’s been there, Liz and Rico turn to Erin of the blog, “The Deployment Diatribes.” Erin talks about her own experience being a military spouse and gives some tips on how to land a job, even if you have to move around a lot in service of your country. One of the resources Erin recommends is My Career Advancement Account. And last but not least we’ll hear from listener Catherine, all the way in New Zealand! Catherine is looking to make a career change and wants to know if she’s on the right path to take the leap.As always, if you've got a burning workplace question and need some advice, don't hesitate to send us an email (that email, unsurprisingly, is also Safe@Wondery.com).

So 12 months back, we ended 2018 with a couple of episodes in which Liz and Rico interviewed each other. This year, some other “Safe For Work” staffers are getting a shot at the spotlight, and stepping into the booth to talk about their surprising career paths.Up first is our producer, Audrey Ngo. She’s here to chat about going back to school after 30, and transitioning from a job as a makeup artist to the world of audio journalism. Then Liz and Rico chat with our sound engineer, Mischa Stanton. Mischa’s discussing their career path in audio and sound design, which led to some pretty interesting projects including work with a little-known company called Marvel.And in this week’s Work Pop segment, we’re turning to the NBC sitcom “Superstore” to see what that show says about workplace efficiency.Last but not least, we’ll chat with listener Cait who isn’t too happy with her new position in sales at her company, but wonders if she should just grin and bear it.As always, if you've got a burning workplace question and need some advice, don't hesitate to send us an email (that email, unsurprisingly, is also Safe@Wondery.com).

A few weeks ago we asked you, dear listeners, to write us with your favorite upbeat work-centric stories, including your own career triumphs of 2019.Well (as expected), you didn’t disappoint. We’ll be hearing your stories throughout the show. Starting with a listener who’s also been an expert guest here on SFW, Kristen Meinzer. Kristen is an author and host of many podcasts including By The Book. She was also our first guest of the year back in January, when among other things we talked about about how she’d just been laid off. Today, if you look up “resilience” in the dictionary, Kristin’s picture should be right there next to it. She’s had a banner 2019, which among other things, now finds her as an expert on “royal subjects.” She’s here to tell us all about it.And in keeping with this them of “work wins,” throughout the show we’re sprinkling in a few feel-good work stories from 2019, including a man who managed to get hundreds of job offers by passing out his resume on the side of the road, a janitor who ended up getting his nursing degree at the university where he worked and a group in West Virginia who helped unemployed miners make a living by having them raise bees and sell honey. Then Liz and Rico chat with listener Briony, who’s transitioned into a role that’s less emotionally taxing at the university where she works. Briony’s also got a great “first job” story about a gig in an esoteric bookstore. We also hear from listener Crystal, who’s sharing a feel-good story about the school where she teaches in Houston. And how during a flood, their kitchen staff banded together to make dinner for the students after the storm.Finally, we end this super-positive episode with listener Jazmyne who found a light at the end of the tunnel at a job that wasn’t satisfying her, and even got some help with her clinical depression.As always, if you've got a burning workplace question and need some advice, don't hesitate to send us an email (that email, unsurprisingly, is also Safe@Wondery.com).

Liz and Sarah talk to actor and friend Dichen Lachman (Dollhouse, Altered Carbon, Animal Kingdom) about the audition pain point that almost made her leave the business, and what she did about it. Then Liz and Sarah discuss the psychology of documents — how does the look of a document impact its audience? This week’s flu season friendly Hollywood Hack: Throat Coat tea. Finally, Liz and and Sarah had yet another Hugo’s Celebrity sighting: Jon Voight.

Diva Tech Talk interviewed Liz Armbruester, SVP, Global Compliance, at Avalara, which helps businesses get tax compliance right. Avalara partners with ERP providers, accounting, e-commerce and financial systems companies, to deliver cloud-based tax compliance solutions, for all transactions. Headquartered in Seattle, WA, Avalara was founded in 2004; went public in 2018; and has offices across the world  From her early years, Liz was a multitasker. “I thrive on doing more than one thing at a time.” Her early aptitudes were in science, and math.  From Villanova University, she transferred to the  University of Arizona. Originally planning to be a doctor, Liz graduated with a major in molecular/cellular biology. It was during this formative college period that she learned “how impactful my instinct was and to listen and trust it.”  This was a life-long lesson Liz applied many times, even with her own son, who made a similar decision in 2019 to transfer universities in pursuit of his dreams. Liz decided against medical school but “easily got jobs in the medical field.” Working with physicians,  she “kept finding my way to the front office. Application software was coming to the fore.” Liz grasped an “opportunity to do something different.” She migrated to semiconductor provider, Zilog where she spent  eight years. Then Liz moved to Vubiquity, a content distribution tech company, owned by tech media giant Amdocs.  Vubiquity connects content owners to video providers, so that entertainment can be delivered to consumers on any screen.  At both Zilog and Vubiquity, Liz wore multiple hats; worked on innovative projects; and often operated in between highly technical development teams and customers “as a translator” of requirements. Liz left Vubiquity, six years later, as Vice President of Operations, and Procurement, because she found herself “not showing up for dinner...which was not ok.”  Moving from Vubiquity to Avalara, Liz made it clear that balance was key. Yet she committed to “operate, and scale like hell” to empower Avalara’s aggressive evolution.  Liz accepted the challenge, to again “be the translator” between the vision, the partners who build/deliver solutions, and “an infinite number of customers.” Avalara teams, “are just brilliant and bring together all of the pieces; and cohesively work together” as the company’s client base has expanded. “Our finish line changes all the time,” Liz explained, because taxing authorities’ rules are ever-changing.  Liz believes that transition to collaborative teamwork leadership is particularly hard for talented STEM experts.  Often, she noted “one day, I am a ‘fixer’ and the next day, I have to be a ‘facilitator,’ and that transformation can be kind of tough. You can’t do it, all.  You have to let go; let others.” Key to that is teaching, mentoring and inspiring colleagues and teammates. Avalara is also highly committed to a positive “intentional culture” including diversity in its ranks.  Liz praised Amelia Ransom, the company’s Senior Director of Engagement and Diversity, “who has really raised the bar for us.” Working on  D/I initiatives has been eye-opening and allowed Liz to empower diversity transition, including all of Avalara leadership “locking arms. It isn’t a project; it doesn’t have a beginning and an end and has shifted our perspective. I have seen hiring practices change,” said Liz.  “I have seen the transparency with which we talk about bias radically change.” Liz would encourage anyone, at any career stage, to continuously “take a step back and look at the bigger picture” as it relates to “what you do, what you like to do, and what you're passionate about” in a disciplined fashion. “What are the things about what you do that make you successful?” Knowing your intrinsic aptitudes and how they apply to any challenge, is vital to personal progress.  “Don’t just think about the tactical things you are doing. Take a step back and think about your skills, your unique characteristics.” Then apply them to your future goals. “It opens up and reframes your possibilities!” Make sure to check us out on online at www.divatechtalk.com, on Twitter @divatechtalks, and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/divatechtalk.

We don’t wanna seem cynical, but we think future generations might be able to call this period of history The Age Of Disillusionment: where we’re constantly disappointed by and losing faith in all sorts of institutions and leaders. Especially in business, where it’s easy to feel increasingly like nice guys finish last.But we don’t believe that has to be true. Here to tell us how nice leaders are actually GOOD for business is Marcel Schwantes. Schwantes is a speaker, executive coach, podcaster, and columnist. He is also the host of Love In Action podcast and has some ideas on how to be the best nice leaders we can be.Then Liz and Rico will chat with listener Jason who feels like he’s not getting paid enough, compared to some new hires at his company. Later, in this weeks’ Work Pop, we’ll revisit the NBC show 30 Rock, for some insight on the value of mentor / mentee relationships. And finally, we’ll hear from listener Jen, who has been eyeing an elusive promotion.As always, if you've got a burning workplace question and need some advice, don't hesitate to send us an email (that email, unsurprisingly, is also Safe@Wondery.com).

Every now and then, we’ve noticed that trends in psychology seep into everyday conversation. And lately it seems like there’s a lot of talk about whether you’re an extrovert or an introvert. Here today to discuss what that means, and how you can manage your work life if you happen to be the latter, is journalist Jessica Pan. Pan is the author of the brilliantly-titled book, “Sorry I’m late, I Didn’t Want To Come.” In it, she details her journey doing extroverted things despite being a self-professed introvert, and is sharing ways to navigate extrovert-friendly situations like concentrating in an open floor-plan office (headphones please!) or surviving dreaded networking events.Then Liz and Rico will chat with listener Sally whose says management at her company has made it clear that they don’t have time for any mistakes.

Liz, is asking for some leader in NZ to stand up and have the courage to say that we as an island nation, want a GE Free country and be the organic food bowl for the world. With no more Monsanto influence and definitely no more glyphosate.   She wants us to become a ‘planetary ark' and be that 'organic food bowl’ for the world. Plus, she WANTS a really clear - NZ Government funded - free from influence - media platform TV - Radio and newsprint / digital where we have quality policy journalists back again, investigating anything within the public domain as well as envisioning healthy possibilities for all of our children’s - collective future. After leaving broadcasting, Liz spent a decade in Australia as a full time Mum and having to learn child rearing with no backup of grandparents or nanny help which she had had when she had worked full time for TVNZ. So she really learnt to be a hands on Mum and how to connect emotionally with her little ones and so it was a wonderful learning curve as a human being, noting that she underlines that she learnt more from her children than they learnt from her. Deeper learning of the Self. Liz also speaks about her experience then of a profound lack of confidence. At first she thought it was post natal depression, but realised that there was a deeper layering - where she had parents that they themselves struggled and Liz shares the challenges that her mother had and the subsequent burden that Liz carried as a result of their relationship and she was not able to really be there for how Liz wanted - a mother to-be. To this end Liz learnt to become very adept at putting up a front - and ironically ending up on television - very capable on the outside - she was seen as always happy when she was a young lawyer yet struggled with health related problems that resulted in a deep lack of confidence - yet she was able to portray the opposite in the world, by looking and acting happy. With bringing up her children and marrying the inner Liz to the outer Liz and then understanding what has shaped her and in decoding what is it she is here to be and do - who is the Liz? How does she integrate her desire to serve in the world with being a whole authentic human being and realising and reconciling that both her parents did their very best to bring her up as best as they could. And Liz goes into this in expressing her humility - realising that we can let go of things that do not serve us and that are not real - and we can become the people we probably were put on this earth to be - but often through painful experience. A difficult marriage was another part of her learning and she states sincerely how grateful she is in many ways - though she laughingly says she is not fully reconciled with that yet:). Because like her childhood experiences with her mother - it dug up all  the things that she did not want to look at - and what she couldn’t escape … So she says to her kids as well -  that life - like the Buddha says is about suffering - so you accept the suffering - but Liz then brightens saying that this life is like a gorgeous mysterious university course that we did not even know we had signed up for! That the lessons will keep coming back and back - the same lesson often until we have the inner resilience, the inner fortitude  - and the willingness to look at what that lesson brings us.  Thus we learn and we grow and we can then graduate to another class. Which she laughingly says - has been like the last 10 years … Covering myths and legends and Joseph Campbell and our journey of traveling deep dark valleys - and the struggle to get through the day, like just getting by by crawling as if in a dark place - but being a mum and committed to her children there is no recourse other than to hang in with her kiddies as she was so committed as a mother and a parent. A Near Death Experience and a Greater Understanding. Then Liz tells of a broken heart moment in hospital when she nearly died as doctors worked diligently on her heart and she witnessed this by ‘looking down on everything from the ceiling - (this could be said to be an out of the body experience or a near death experience) - she said for a moment she felt that she was floating on the softest warmest, most loving golden clouds and realising that she could stay there, this was wonderful - I can give up - this is easy - and at that moment both her beautiful children were right at the forefront and the feeling was so powerful - ‘I can’t leave them, they still need me’  - and that the urge for life was so much greater than the urge to run away from the pain of life - and she came back to her body - to recuperate and heal. Then the discussion covered ‘the purpose for existence - is to find out the purpose for existence’ - and Liz was emphatic it was certainly not about power or money or status - the house we own or the cars we drive  … that those things are so deeply ephemeral and so transient and for many it is a frightening place because so many people fear death. What Liz says that experience taught her that she had nothing whatsoever to fear. The interview then covers names like Ramana Maharshi and Gangaji to the Dalai Lama. Questioning Material Values Liz surmises - why do we in the Western developed world set about to amass so much material wealth, houses, bach’s, numbers of cars, boats clothes etc.  If we didn’t fear death would we just get on and experience life instead? What she feels is that material wealth means nothing other than what she can leave in the hearts of those that she loves. And her greatest achievement is loving her children with all her heart. Listen to this as Liz expresses herself so deeply, in such a warm and humble way. That for children to open like the lotus flower and being the humans they can be - and this is what she feels needs to be extended across the community of NZ. This interview also covers an experience Liz had in Sydney when she was at a function of the media magnates the Murdoch’s where she witnessed these very successful media barons and realised that with all their collective expertise and media and satellite outreach that if only they wanted to bring whole countries together and have communities connect and share in a better tomorrow - these people could basically create a large shift in changing the world into a more peaceful and harmonious place. However in her intuitions of seeing them huddled most of the night with Rupert and Lachlan, including James Packer in a corner - out of the way at this function - she realised how close yet how far away we are at pulling the threads of humanity together. That if they only felt connected to all people - they would feel so loved and valued in the world - that wherever they went they would feel so much goodwill flowing toward them - however this is not the case. That Liz found that she had so much compassion for them - because the elder Murdoch who owns Sky Television and the Australian newspaper and a huge slice of Australian and British newspapers and until recently virtually 75 % of all NZ suburban newspapers  Once owning the Controlling Interest in Wellington’s Dominion newspaper and being the 2nd largest media conglomerate on earth owning 20th Century Fox and the Wall St Journal and a huge number of media companies. That she just intuited that their energy was not warm and light hearted and that they were basically not happy at all. Generosity of Spirit This conversation then continues around generosity of spirit of giving and bringing a little joy to people who are experiencing unhappy lives - especially on the streets here in Auckland where the homeless are seen in greater numbers even though the NZ Government is crowing about our $4 billion surplus for the last year. Then Liz tells  that when back in Australia of giving her last $2-00 to a homeless person when she found that she was unable to withdraw any cash from her account at an ATM. So being in Sydney away from NZ - taking a leap of faith giving that $2.00 minute amount away to a destitute person in the street and making them feel acknowledged and then having to go through the challenge of having to rely on the goodwill of friends to help her out over the ensuring days. Micro Funding those less fortunate Liz’s dream is of having enough funds to set up micro finance for women, especially those women who have come out of failed marriages and have to start again to make a living - or in Africa where a death or disability throw the onus on the woman to make a living. And it has been proved over and over again when women are able to receive a loan for a chicken coop or garden seeds - that they are fastidious at paying back their loan. That they in most cases are brilliant at running their little businesses and they get the family back on their feet when they may have to learn totally new skills to find a creative way to make a living. So with micro funding Liz wants to assist NZ woman to get back on their feet by becoming independent as in many cases they have given up their career to take on family responsibilities whilst the husband has continuously advanced his own career thus he is always skilled up. Thus there is a lot of fear and trepidation for middle aged women having to rejoin the workforce and back into the thick of things in a new job, new technologies, new expectations - new performance quotas etc   This is a difficult arena for women - look at TV in NZ there is no older women there, at the moment.Ageism is still prevalent. Liz’s talks about her work, when starting out as a young lawyer - and how she saw the reality of it. But, she found what disillusioned her was that if you have the money - you can get the best lawyer in town and they can stitch up the case by getting someone off - when in fact they were the guilty party.  When she thought that Law was about justice - that the present government has made huge cuts to legal aid in NZ recently, that many Lawyers did not agree with this - even those who were innately conservative themselves. Homelessness - how could this happen in New Zealand?! Liz says her heart aches to see the number of homelessness we have here in NZ especially Auckland )and particularly in a year where the NZ government are 4 billion dollars in surplus - which coincides with the election coming up in less that 3 months time). That she has been going around Auckland and making videos and interviewing the homeless and hearing all their various stories. She is mortified - as this should not be in NZ - we are basically an extraordinarily caring people - but … and she in meeting so many of these homeless people and seeing a profound dignity in many of them and the hopeless situation they are in. A kind and caring compassionate woman … Stand up before this election and make a fuss about homelessness. The Dalai Lama’s statements about humility and connection come up and yet there are many laughs during this interview. Covering what Mike King is doing with youth suicide in NZ and that this too is a stain across our nation. She tells of an experiment with rats and heroin and the environment. The end result is that after rats are put in a stark and boring environment - given the choice they all turn to heroin instead of drinking water. But, when they turn their cage into a myriad of things to do - to climb, swing, run on a wheel, snuggle into warm covered areas - they eventually all end up rejecting the heroin and instead they enjoy the variety and opportunities of a captivating environment. Many people in a state of homelessness have been involved with drugs, but had they been in an environment that had offered them possibilities to learn and to grow and experience a more conducive atmosphere - of connection - many would not be suffering as they are today. Possibilities of changing both our outlook and our inner state of being This then introduces Bruce Lipton and our body of around 50 trillion cells - and his theme - change the environment for the better and the situation will change accordingly. That all our organs are working in unison and we are not doing any of this consciously. That as a top scientist / professor at Stanford University in the USA, he realised that we need not be a captive and slave to our genes. That we can by ‘shifting our consciousness’ evolve our genome and become far more healthier humans.  Books - Biology of Belief and Conscious Evolution.  Liz see NZ as having changed dramatically in the last 9 years She sees so many homeless and as a mother - wonders how this has continued to escalate. Liz shares that NZ needs to become more sovereign and independent - that when David Lange of the NZ Labour Government saw that our country had a large majority wanting to be nuclear free nation this gave him the mandate to make us a Nuclear Free country. Liz feels that as a small independent nation (and we trust a moral force for good) that we be weary of US influence being too strong here and for example the lack of transparency with the Waihopai Face Eyes Echelon spy station in the South Island being cause for concern. Regarding trade  she like many here in NZ who were voiceless felt a great relief that the TPPA did not go ahead and that we need to be adept at finding innovative ways to sort out fair trade. However there is also the challenge of transparency of Government - and this is an important issue - which is also a global issue. That we New Zealanders have to be both more alert and proactive to make our elected servants in Wellington bow to the wishes of ‘we the people.’ In reiterating what she sees as issues. 1)    The homeless 2)    NZ becoming a GE and GMO Free organic agricultural food bowl for our world. 3)    A new Transparent media outlet for open communications - TV, Radio & Digital. This is what in a democracy media is all about, not glove puppets  - John Campbell has gone - this is dangerous for democracy we dependent on a free and courageous media. Nicky Hagar if you like him or not - he was vilified for laying out so many truths - which were all shoved aside - with no-one in Government prepared to accept the lies that the Government had hidden.  This is why we need a conscious NZ public and this is why Liz has been called to act like a warrior woman, and a Mother. There is too much at stake and too much to lose.

On today's Satellite Sisters, the Lab Rats Sheila and Monica Dolan go on a Chip Quest.  Monica is determined to participate in the Lays Do Us A Flavor Contest.  She convinced Sheila to get on board to test flavors Gyro, Truffle Fries, Biscuits & Gravy and New York Reuben,  but despite many store visits they could not find the new product.  Not to worry, sisters.  Monica will carry on this week even if it means ordering them from Walmart.com.  Meanwhile, Sheila tries Bikram Yoga for the first time with less-than-ideal results. She has a complete report on that as well as the baby shower she is hosting at her home next weekend.  The workback schedule is being drawn up now.  Now all she needs is a place for guests to actually sit down.  Plus, she crosses town to her new CVS.  Also with mixed results, we'd say. Liz has a celebrity-sighting report from Superba Snack Bar in Venice, CA. Gotta love, JLD.  It was fun to see her and fun to just leave her alone to enjoy her lunch. Food there is superba, by the way.  We recommend it. Then Liz and a friend tried a new place in Santa Monica last night that is part butcher shop/part restaurant. True touch of Portlandia.
