Have you ever had someone at work subtly cut you down — interrupting you, taking credit for your ideas, or making those quiet comments that leave you second-guessing yourself? You're not alone.According to a 2023 Harvard Business Review study, nearly half of professionals say they've been undermined by a coworker. And women are more likely to experience it from other women — not because women are the problem, but because competition often increases in workplaces where opportunities and recognition feel limited.In today's episode, we're going deeper into how to handle these moments with grace and authority. You'll learn three power moves that protect your peace, preserve your reputation, and keep you in control — no matter who's trying to shake your confidence.This episode builds on Episode #61, “What to Do When Staff or Coworkers Undermine You - that episode explored why undermining happens and how to recognize it early. Today, we'll go a step further with new strategies that show you exactly what to do when it happens!3 Power Moves Every Career Woman Should Know1. Name the Game, Don't Play It When someone tries to rattle you, don't react — respond strategically. Stay calm, recognize what's really happening, and redirect the conversation with confident phrases like: “I'd like to finish my point before we move on,” or “That's one perspective — here's another.”2. Reclaim the Narrative Don't let silence give others control of your story. Keep your work visible and your communication clear. Follow up in writing, document your wins, and make sure the right people know your value. 3. Guard Your Energy You don't have to fix toxic people — you just have to protect yourself. Limit interaction, focus on allies, and stay grounded in your peace. If you're navigating a situation like this and need help crafting exactly what to say, schedule a free consultation at drdawnshoptalk.com/book-online. Together, we'll design scripts and strategies that help you handle tough moments with poise and power.NEW HERE?Check out our Mentioned Videos:The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fR_clXjZ-4&list=PLdguFjdYMwqWXnvIeSAIhDrtPdHdsLGdeMindset & Confidence Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klxaMDeQCXU&list=PLdguFjdYMwqXrgiI1YaB87uHu1gm_mczcUpskilling Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm6ro9LlUMA&list=PLdguFjdYMwqX3gnuMSrLgaN7hXBSWhqmOBuilding Your Brand Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRK7Ep29SkQ&list=PLdguFjdYMwqVLPsFZjl-Do8eH7leltW8OEp61: What You Can Do When Co-Workers Undermine You: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra3DcEIg6jYGet your copy of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook!

Aug. 12, 2025 - For more than a decade, New York lawmakers have tried to secure a compensation boost for home care workers in the New York City area, but those efforts haven't always resulted in more money in pockets, according to reporting by Sam Mellins, a senior reporter for New York Focus.
Was Woodrow Wilson a visionary statesman—or a reactionary bigot? Peter Robinson sits down with historian and former SEC Chairman Christopher Cox to discuss his latest book, Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn, Cox's meticulously researched biography of the 28th president of the United States. Together, they explore Wilson's complicated legacy: his towering achievements as a reformer and wartime leader and his deeply troubling record on race, gender, and civil rights. From his opposition to women's suffrage and his resegregation of the federal government to his embrace of the film, The Birth of a Nation, Cox reveals how Wilson's Southern upbringing and elitist worldview shaped both his presidency and progressivism itself. This conversation offers a sobering reappraisal of one of America's most consequential and controversial leaders—and asks what it means to judge historical figures by the standards of both their time and ours.

American Foreign Policy: In Search of Monsters to DestroyHow meme warfare, judicial chokeholds, and moral exhaustion paved a runway straight to TehranDonald Trump is not a shadow lurking at the edge of American democracy. He is the state. The 47th President. Elected—again—not by coup, but through ballots and blood sport. And when, in June 2025, he greenlit the B-2s to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities, it wasn't rogue adventurism. It was the inevitable outcome of a trapped presidency turned outward.The playbook wasn't new—it just had fewer euphemisms.Blocked by courts from implementing mass deportations. Undermined on tariffs. Cornered by a judiciary that suddenly found its love for process. Trump did what presidents do when the domestic war is off-limits: he started a foreign one. Not to spread democracy. Not to “liberate.” But to remind the world—and his base—that he still had power left to swing.This wasn't wag-the-dog. This was spite war—military action not to achieve policy but to avenge paralysis.And somehow, this wasn't un-American. It was peak American.Because the U.S. has long preferred demolition to diplomacy. Our legacy abroad reads like a wrecking report: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria. Humanitarian imperialism, cloaked in moral language, leaving behind what one might call “rubbleization”—the systematic breaking of functioning (if flawed) regimes into privatized chaos. Call it Operation Regime Collapse. Call it the Soft Power Empire. Call it empire-in-denial.Trump, to his credit, dropped the pretense. No blue helmets. No brochures. Just leverage, bombs, and a handshake if you're an ally who doesn't whine.Israel, of course, remains the sacred cow in this arrangement. To neocons, evangelicals, and nationalists alike, Israel isn't just a strategic partner—it's the last Western nation that still plays by the old rules: borders, bullets, and unapologetic strength. While America frets over DEI briefings, Israel fights. It doesn't explain itself. And in the American imagination—shaped by thrillers, spy films, and blue fairy godmother Mossad agents—that means something.So when Trump backed Israel—or bombed on its behalf—he wasn't betraying MAGA's isolationist streak. He was affirming its logic. America First doesn't mean America Alone. It means loyalty over liberalism, alliances over apologies, and competence over consensus.Back home, the contradictions multiply. The Right cosplays rebellion while running the government. The Left stages resistance through algorithms, NGOs, and the alphabet soup of federal power. Both claim to be the Rebel Alliance. Both operate like Death Stars. And meanwhile, the country rots under regime warfare—where lawfare replaces legislation, narrative replaces fact, and elections become the only part of democracy we remember to perform.The empathy engine, too, is out of gas. The “baby gambit” no longer moves the public. We've seen too many fake cries, too many staged sobs, too many selective spotlights. Gaza, Ukraine, ICE cages—none of it lands like it used to. Weaponized empathy broke under its own overuse. We are not post-moral. We are post-caring.Trump thrives here. Not despite scandal—but because of it. He eats shame for breakfast. Mugshots become merch. Indictments become slogans. Ivanka jokes become meme lore. He is not a candidate. He is a meme engine. A “shame-eater king.” The political embodiment of antifragility. He can't be grokked because he's not playing the same game. He metabolizes your disgust and turns it into devotion.So when you ask why he bombed Iran, remember: he couldn't deport. He couldn't detain. He couldn't rule the way he wanted. So he did the next best thing: he ruled where no one could stop him.That's not authoritarianism.That's Americanism—with the mask ripped off.
Germany's 2025 federal election saw the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) double its support to 20.8%, becoming the second largest party, while the Green Party fell from 14.8% to 11.6%. The AfD denies climate science and opposes environmental policies on economic grounds. This week, Alasdair interviews academic Felix Schulz, whose recent research has examined public attitudes toward climate policy across six countries - three in the global north and three in the global south. The research found that core values – particularly those derived from neoliberalism and free-market ideology – are more effective than socioeconomic factors in indicating how people will respond to climate policies. Felix and Alasdair discuss how neoliberal thinking has shaped public opinion, why climate policy must integrate social and economic considerations, and how job security concerns in industrial roles affect political support for climate action. Felix Schulz is a postdoctoral research fellow at Lund University researching public opinion and climate policy.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger talks about the social window, the fleeting time that occurs during the first few weeks in a new environment, when people are more open to connection and bonding. The social window won't last forever, so it's important to take advantage of it to build relationships, establish influence, and form a supportive network. What is the best way to use the social window to our career advantage, and what should we expect while trying? Cindy explains the process.The social window offers the easiest time for us to engage in networking. There is a fleeting openness in it that creates a low-stakes environment for relationship building. Cindy shares five ways to make the most of the opportunity: 1) Be proactive, not passive, 2) Join group activities, 3) Leverage shared hardships, 4) Focus on quality over quantity, and 5) Follow up. Cindy discusses being intentional about the social window by deciding what we want to accomplish and forming a plan. Having goals will help prioritize our efforts when meeting new people. She suggests reframing our perspective to see introductions as a career investment instead of as a series of awkward moments. If we don't take advantage of this time, real consequences can follow. Cindy identifies three of the most common: 1) Feeling out of place, 2) Missed career opportunities, and 3) Undermined confidence.

In this episode, Jaya brings forward a challenge that many of us can relate to - leaving conversations feeling undermined or devalued. She struggles with how to maintain her power and self-worth when people dismiss, invalidate, or fail to recognize her contributions. Her core questions include:How do I keep my power when dealing with people who undermine or devalue me?What language can I use to defend myself?How do I navigate situations where I freeze in response to subtle invalidation?Why do some people always take a contrarian point of view, and how can I respond?How do I handle accusations of being selfish when I set boundaries or withdraw?Key Takeaways for ListenersShift Your Perspective - Stop seeing these moments as something being done to you and instead as data about the other person's patterns and needs.Break the Victim Cycle - Seeing yourself as prey in a predator-prey dynamic keeps you in freeze mode. Recognizing others' behaviors as their habitual strategies helps reclaim your power.Practice Self-Connection - Instead of seeking validation from someone who won't provide it, turn inward and self-attune: What am I feeling? What do I need?Ask for What You Want - If someone is dismissing your feelings, redirect the conversation by explicitly asking them to focus on your experience rather than rationalizing the other person's behavior.Recognize Their Needs - Many people default to giving advice or taking a contrarian stance as a way of meeting their own needs - to feel helpful, competent, or insightful. Seeing this can help depersonalize their behavior.Exit With Grace - If someone is Monopolizing the conversation or invalidating you, set a boundary: "I just realized I need to get going." No justification is needed.Selfishness vs. Self-Connection - True self-care benefits everyone. When you act from self-connection rather than obligation, you model healthy relational dynamics.We Discuss: 1:01 Opening thoughts3:05 I feel undermined and I freeze. How can I reframe this?12:17 They're not "doing something to me". They're providing data about themselves.14:28 Asking for what you want as a strategy out of the educating20:51 What can I say if I don't want to listen anymore?28:27 What can I say when someone accuses me of being selfish?31:04 Closing ThoughtsPlease share with your family and friends!

For many years, explanations of Pakistan's politics and its failed democratic transition have focused on the role of the military and politicians. But how have the country's bureaucrats contributed to the failed democratic transition? And why do their interactions with politicians continue to perpetuate the country's political instability? Listen as Petra Alderman talks to Sameen Ali about Pakistani bureaucrats, their appointments and interactions with politicians, and the ways in which these interactions have kept Pakistan in the grey zone between democracy and authoritarianism. Sameen A. Mohsin Ali is an Assistant Professor of International Development at the International Development Department at the University of Birmingham, where she works on the impact of bureaucratic politics on state capacity and service delivery. Her research on bureaucratic politics in Pakistan has been published in leading politics and development journals, including World Development, European Journal of Development Research, and Commonwealth and Comparative Politics. Petra Alderman is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Leadership for Inclusive and Democratic Politics at the University of Birmingham and Research Fellow at CEDAR. The People, Power, Politics podcast brings you the latest insights into the factors that are shaping and re-shaping our political world. It is brought to you by the Centre for Elections, Democracy, Accountability and Representation (CEDAR) based at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom.

How has the prosperity gospel influenced purity culture, and what does that mean for parenting today? The connections might surprise you. Purity Culture, much like the prosperity gospel, promises rewards for adhering to specific behaviors, but it often leads to disappointment and shame. And all too often in the church, parents apply this same type of thinking to their children. Parents assume that they will be rewarded with God-honoring, God-fearing children if they teach their children all the right things and parent the Biblical way. Like with the Prosperity Gospel and Purity Culture, the emphasis is on the outcome, not your child's relationship with God. In this thought-provoking episode of "Christian Parent/Crazy World," Catherine engages Dr. Lina Abujamra in a candid discussion about the harmful effects of Purity Culture in Christian communities. They highlight how Purity Culture parallels the Prosperity Gospel by creating unrealistic expectations and measuring spiritual worth through outcomes rather than genuine faith and grace. Episode Highlights: Purity Culture and Prosperity Gospel: Lina Abujamra draws parallels between purity culture and the prosperity gospel, noting how both promise material or relational rewards for specific behaviors. While purity culture emphasizes sexual abstinence with the promise of perfect marriages and fulfilling sex lives, the prosperity gospel promises material wealth and success for faithful followers. Misplaced Expectations: Both movements often set up unrealistic expectations, leading to disillusionment and shame when life doesn't unfold as promised. This results in individuals feeling unworthy or questioning their faith when they don't receive the anticipated rewards. Misogynistic Undertones: Lina and Catherine criticize the misogynistic tendencies within purity culture, where women often bear a disproportionate burden of maintaining purity. Object lessons like the chewed gum or wilted flower are used to shame women, implying that they lose their worth through sexual activity. Biblical Misinterpretations: Both purity culture and the prosperity gospel teachings divert from Biblical truths, focusing more on human efforts and rewards than on God's grace and the transformative power through a relationship with Christ. Impact on Young Believers: Catherine and Lina discuss the generational fallout from purity culture, noting how younger Christians are increasingly rejecting outdated, shaming shaming messages. This shift highlights the need for a more grace-filled, genuine approach to faith that centers on a deep, personal relationship with God. Key Takeaways: - Parents should teach their children that faith isn't about earning rewards through good behavior, but about nurturing a genuine, loving relationship with Christ. - Rejecting the false promises of purity culture and prosperity gospel can prevent the deep disappointment and shame that arise from unmet expectations. - A grace-filled approach to faith that acknowledges personal struggles and imperfection can lead to more authentic spiritual growth and fulfillment. - Both purity culture and prosperity gospel distort the Gospel's core message by equating spiritual worth with specific outcomes, rather than the inherent value found in a relationship with Jesus. Guest bio: Dr. Lina Abujamra is a distinguished pediatric emergency room doctor, author, speaker, and the founder of Living With Power Ministries. Known for her dynamic and heartfelt approach, she offers practical biblical insights to help people navigate life's challenges with faith and resilience. Her most recent book, Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This: A Christian Doctor's Thoughts on Sex, Shame, and Other Troublesome Issues, offers a candid look into her sexual struggles and the grace that brought her freedom.

In this episode, we explore the inspiring journey of Qoria (formerly Family Zone), a company born from the vision of four dedicated parents determined to make digital spaces safer for children. Facing off against tech giants indifferent to online child protection, Qoria has emerged as a global leader in digital safety. We delve into the industry's complexities, including government funding for technology that doesn't adequately protect families and how Qoria champions interoperable solutions against restrictive practices by companies like Microsoft. From early boundaries to overt parental controls, we discuss why starting protective measures early makes a difference, empowering parents to safeguard their children's digital lives. Tim Levy, Managing Director of Qoria, shares a deeply personal and moving story. The cyberbullying and subsequent suicide of his niece's best friend left an indelible mark on him. He realized that children were navigating a digital world that was perilously unsafe. Motivated by a desire to protect his own kids and others, Tim joined forces with his close friend Crispin Swan, also a telco veteran. They were soon joined by Ben Trigger and Paul Robinson.Together, they asked a fundamental question: Why can't we protect our children in their digital lives as well as we can in their home lives?This question sparked the creation of Qoria. Their vision was to develop a suite of technology solutions that would empower parents, schools, and children to collaborate in ensuring digital safety. They sought to bridge the gaps left by siloed approaches, where schools, parents, and social and gaming platforms operated independently. They believed our children deserved better.The Birth and Growth of Qoria:In 2015, Family Zone was born. With a big vision, a recently launched consumer offering, and no money, they took a bold step by going public. Family Zone was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange the following year.Tim reflects on their journey: "Since then, we have been incredibly lucky to be joined by some amazing businesses, trusted advisors, and loyal investors, all of whom share our passion and commitment for tackling what is clearly one of the most pressing problems of the modern world."All tech is not safe for children in 2024 Telegram, Reddit, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Snapchat, Facebook, Whatsapp, Google Docs, Facebook, Instagram, Tor, Google Drive, Google Mapshttps://qoria.com/our-storySupport the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com

In a high-stakes presidential election year, in partnership with the Newt and Jo Minow Debate Series at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, Open to Debate is taking a look at more than a decade of the Citizens United Supreme Court case. The 2010 landmark decision that ruled the free speech clause of the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting independent expenditures for political communications by corporations, including nonprofits, labor unions, and other associations, changed the landscape of political spending in the U.S. This gave rise to Super PACS and an increase in election campaign spending. Since then, there have been questions about whether the decision has harmed our democratic process. Those who support the decision argue it upholds free speech, allowing diverse voices in the political arena, and broadens the range of discourse by enabling groups to freely express their views and support candidates or policies. Those against it argue that it allows a disproportionate influence from corporations and special interest groups, and leaves the voices of ordinary citizens overshadowed by the financial resources of a few, eroding the principles of equality and fair representation. With this context, we debate the question: Has Citizens United Undermined Democracy? This debate is presented in partnership with the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law as part of the Newt and Jo Minow Debate Series. It will be recorded live in person on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, at the Thorne Auditorium at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law in Chicago, Illinois. Arguing Yes: Francesca Procaccini, Assistant Professor of Law at Vanderbilt University Law School; Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, Professor of Law at Stetson University Arguing No: Floyd Abrams, Senior Counsel at Cahill Gordon & Reindel; Eric Wang, Partner at The Gober Group, pro bono Senior Fellow at the Institute for Free Speech Learn more about your ad choices.
