Podcasts about Tomorrow Will Be Different

Have you every wondered how important your “Voice” is as a writer? This week on The Bestseller Experiment podcast, New York Times success Maria Semple tells us just how essential your voice is. Maria was recently named a “Power Author” by the Hollywood Reporter, putting her alongside such giants as JK Rowling and George RR Martin. Maria started as a screenwriter. Her book, Where'd You Go, Bernadette? spent over a year on the New York Times bestsellers. Her new book “Tomorrow Will Be Different” was announced as a TV series with Julia Roberts as the lead. She spoke to us about the things that stop us writing truthfully.

Sarah McBride, the United State's first openly transgender state senator, author of the deeply moving memoir, “Tomorrow Will Be Different,” and my Wilmington, DE, neighbor, shares how our deepest insecurities can be our most potent inspiration.

This is a special episode because we chat with friend and super-human person, Sam Brinton of The Trevor Project (to name only one thing they are involved with) as well as Dr. Jessie Freyermuth (spouse of 1/2 of the pod).  We all read and chatted about the book Tomorrow Will Be Different by Sarah McBride.  This book was unexpectedly sad but overwhelmingly awesome.  Sarah McBride is changing our country for the better with her work in the US Government.   Before she became the first transgender person to speak at a national political convention in 2016 at the age of 26, Sarah McBride struggled with the decision to come out - not just to her family but to the students of American University, where she was serving as student body president. She'd known she was a girl from her earliest memories, but it wasn't until the Facebook post announcing her truth went viral that she realized just how much impact her story could have on the country.Four years later, McBride was one of the nation's most prominent transgender activists, walking the halls of the White House, advocating inclusive legislation, and addressing the country in the midst of a heated presidential election. She had also found her first love and future husband, Andy, a trans man and fellow activist, who complemented her in every way...until cancer tragically intervened.Informative, heartbreaking, and profoundly empowering, Tomorrow Will Be Different is McBride's story of love and loss and a powerful entry point into the LGBTQ community's battle for equal rights and what it means to be openly transgender. From issues like bathroom access to health care to gender in America, McBride weaves the important political and cultural milestones into a personal journey that will open hearts and change minds.As McBride urges: “We must never be a country that says there's only one way to love, only one way to look, and only one way to live.” The fight for equality and freedom has only just begun.

Dear everyone, Welcome to our radio series "Finding peace in turmoil". This program is brought to you by the joint effort of Meditation Master Minh Niệm and the Meditation Psychotherapy Communities - Mindful Living Land in several places. This radio series is streamed every week on Youtube and Podcast on the only official channel - Minh Niệm. As we can see, the world is constantly changing. In this particular period of time, the changes can be easily seen in every single moment though figures on the news, or significant decisions the world's leaders make on a daily basis, which is unprecedented. Thereby we now have one of the most precious opportunities ever to contemplate impermanence. Impermanence does not only mean death as people commonly and narrowly interpret it, but it actually is the non-stop transformation of everything around us. Through that we are able to witness another impermanence, which is the constant transformation of the inner world, the world within us. In this Radio Episode 5 titled “Tomorrow will be different”, following the previous radio episode, we hope to remind you all about the principles of the inevitable changes in life so that we can always hold a strong belief in the good things to come.

Join us as we explore Sarah McBride's book, "Tomorrow Will Be Different," a touching, personal memoir that covers her transition story, her journey into transgender activism, and the tragic loss of her husband to cancer. Sarah's book is also a primer on the many complex issues facing the transgender community through the lens of her life as a transgender woman and LGBTQ+ activist. It's a great way for people who are not already personally connected to the trans world to engage with empathy and understanding. Sarah's story is also an avenue to explore the ways in which the issues faced by the trans community arise from the same patriarchal oppression that we confront in our study and practice of feminism. Since trans issues are feminist issues, we must work to educate ourselves to be effective allies. To that end, we discuss our society's evolving understanding of gender, our problematic tendency to assign value to passing, the Title VII cases currently before the Supreme Court, and other trans-feminist issues. Let us know what you think, and get into the conversation by joining our online FB Bookclub Group @FemmSouth Bookclub.

Sarah McBride, National Press Secretary for the Human Rights Campaign and author of Tomorrow Will Be Different, shares her inspiring story of coming out as a transgender woman and offers a powerful and hopeful vision of equality for everyone, starting now.

McBride's trailblazing story has been featured in a variety of periodicals, including The New Yorker, the Washington Post, Rolling Stone, and Cosmopolitan.

Sarah McBride made history as the first transgender person to speak at a national political convention in 2016. As of 2018, more than half of LGBTQ people live in states that don’t protect them from discrimination or are even actively hostile towards them. In the most challenging moments--the 2016 election results, everyday sexism and misogyny and the death of her young husband--even then she fights to update our laws to protect and include LGBTQ people. Her vision and focus on achieving a more equal world, where everyone is seen and accepted for who they are, is so clear that it almost seems simple. So why does it have to be so hard to get to that point? Listen to my conversation with Sarah McBride, LGBTQ activist and author of the new book, “Tomorrow Will Be Different”. And when you’re done, come on over to The Inflection Point Society, our Facebook group of everyday activists who seek to make extraordinary change through small, daily actions.

March 8, 2018 at the Boston Athenæum. In April 2012, when transgender issues had yet to break onto the national scene, Sarah McBride made headlines—and history—when she came out publicly as a transgender woman while serving as American University’s student body president. With a viral Facebook post that announced her identity, she suddenly found herself on the forefront of a movement, fighting for positive change. Since that day in April, Sarah has continued to make history, eventually becoming the first openly transgender person to address a major party convention. Before she became the first transgender person to speak at a national political convention in 2016 at the age of twenty-six, Sarah McBride struggled with the decision to come out—not just to her family but to the students of American University, where she was serving as student body president. She’d known she was a girl from her earliest memories, but it wasn’t until the Facebook post announcing her truth went viral that she realized just how much impact her story could have on the country. Four years later, McBride was one of the nation’s most prominent transgender activists, walking the halls of the White House, advocating the passing of laws, and addressing the country in the midst of a heated presidential election. And, she’d found her first love and future husband, Andy, a trans man and fellow activist, who complimented her in every way... until cancer tragically intervened. Informative, heartbreaking, and empowering, Tomorrow Will Be Different: Love, Loss, and the Fight for Trans Equality is McBride’s story of love and loss, a powerful entry point into the LGBTQ community’s battle for equal rights and what it means to be openly transgender. From issues like bathroom access to health care, McBride weaves the important political and cultural milestones into a personal journey that will open hearts and change minds.

"My book is about my own journey as a transgender person, as an advocate, and as someone who’s working for equality for LGBTQ people across the country. The story really is about my relationship with my late husband, Andy, who was a transgender man, and it was really through my relationship with Andy that I learned some of my most important lessons in this fight for equality."

I talked to Sarah McBride, the author of newly released book "Tomorrow Will Be Different," about being an advocate for trans youth in the context of the Trump Administration, why we have such a hard time talking about death, and what makes us hopeful. Sarah is the first trans person to address a national political convention and the Press Secretary for the Human Rights Campaign. Joe Biden also wrote the foreword to her book! So that's pretty cool...
