Podcasts about whoever you are

With as "out there" as Geggy Tah's music was, and as clever as their biggest hit "Whoever You Are" was, it would be easy to not take them seriously. The thing is, they were serious about being as creative as possible and seeing what music could be without any borders. The duo of Tommy Jordan and Greg Kurstin produced three albums in the mid 90s that explored songs as if they were found art projects, mixing in whatever instrument or genre worked. After the band ended, Greg went on to form The Bird and the Bee and then became one of the biggest producers in the world while Tommy continued to do his own thing. Here's the story of one of the most delightfully weird bands of the decade!  www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod

Benediction Carry the Flame Postlude

Embrace the healing energy of Kwan Yin's Temple of Mercy and her loving compassion, which is always accessible yet especially amplified in the etheric realm above Beijing, China until March 14th. Spirit's mercy transcends a mere do-over—it frees us from hidden suffering and age-old sorrows we may not even recognize. In this meditation, step into the sacred Presence of Kwan Yin and let her compassionate energy expand your inner flame of Mercy's Love with every breath. With each mindful inhale and exhale, affirm: Inhale: “I AM breathing in the forgiving feeling of mercy's love from Beloved Kwan Yin.” Exhale: “I AM breathing out the forgiving feeling of mercy's love from Beloved Kwan Yin.” Enhancing this transformative experience is the integral song, “Come, Whoever You Are,” from Jennifer's One with the One CD. Featuring the timeless words of Rumi, the song weaves its gentle melody into the meditation, inviting you to fully immerse yourself in the healing embrace of Kwan Yin's mercy.

Asian Wars BrewingBy FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.[World News]It was the happenstance of another conflict that encouraged Turkish solidarity and Khanate action, the Crimea. Russia had opened a serious door to the Abyss by annexing the Crimea from the Ukraine by force. Technically, Russia had violated Ukrainian sovereignty by seizing that region.The Russians (with tacit support from China) put forth the political notion of 'lost territory'. Thus Vladimir Putin had unwittingly 'green lighted' the greatest consumption of 'lost territory' in the history of mankind. Following Putin's reasoning, all Temujin was doing was reuniting the widely separated pieces of the Great Khanate. His invasion of Xinjiang and Nei Mongol were also part of that policy.The 'Carolina Reaper' spice in this chili was a group called the Crimean Tartars. It didn't get too much press in the West, but in the spring of 2014, the Crimean Tartars, a Turkish ethnic minority, attempted to do to Russia and the new Republic of Crimea what those two had done to the Ukraine. They declared their own autonomous state within the Crimea.Russian security forces quickly squashed that movement, and in doing so, managed to incite the Turkish Republics and the minority Turkish populations living inside the Russian Federation. It was a low grade irritant to the Turkish people that would, in time, have dwindled into being yet another indignity, much like the Uyghur struggles for independence. By the dictates of Fate alone, it was the right irritant at the magic time for the Khanate.The Turkish people were being reacquainted with the clarion call of Pan-Turkish Nationalism. It was an idea that was over 100 years old and rather discredited in most circles, treated as an anthropological discipline, but not as a political ambition. But there were now three igniters for the Khanate Phoenix.The dismissive treatment of the Crimean Tartars was the smallest spark, yet also the most crucial in that it reminded your average Turk that for 100 years, they had been the victims of secular, oppressive regimes, the Soviets (Russian) and the Communist Chinese. That oppression was still living its fifteen minutes of fame.The second factor was the boogeyman of the West that had been burning bright-hot over the past twenty years, the Islamic Identity movement. It wasn't just fanatics running around the Syrian Desert, or the Afghan/Pakistan border. It was a strong undercurrent in the Muslim world that recalled the halcyon days of the Caliphate.The original Mongol Khanate hadn't championed any religious doctrine. It had been the Mongol-Turkish successor states that had turned Islam into a weapon to strike down their enemies. That was the history that Temujin and the Earth  and  Sky were embracing. This was both a jihad and a struggle to reassert their ethnic identity.The Russian Federation had arrogantly discarded Turkish appeals. Turkish nationalists were incensed, but they were never big fans of Russia anyway. It was the commuters on their way to work who found this utter dismissal to be insulting. It was the Imams who spoke out against still more sectarian oppression. It was the journalists who wrote a few scathing articles about the new Russian imperialism.When that tiny core of Earth  and  Sky seized power in those four countries, their power was more ephemeral than substantive. The important factors working against them were that they had relatively little power in those countries and no organized political support. (They had been a secret society, after all.) What they did have going for them was an antsy, dissatisfied public and an on-edge military.Remember, the Chinese had launched a series of apparently unwarranted attacks into their nations only forty-eight hours ago and had given these countries some trumped up claims of combating terrorism. The militaries of Kazakhstan and Mongolia discovered that they were at war before sunrise. Not knowing the score, unengaged PLA border units began clashing with their Mongolian and Turkish counterparts.In War as in Love, the same rules held true. The quality of your 'game' was secondary to who approached the girl first. If the girl was on the prowl, you were the answer to her desires. Unless the second guy to show up was remarkably superior, she'd stick with the one who recognized her qualities first.Girls are not nearly as shallow and superficial as guys would like to believe. Unless she's looking for a three-way, she'll take the guy she feels is the least likely to stick with her for the night, rather than become a date-jumper herself. (If she is a party girl, all bets are off.) For the militaries of Kazakhstan and Mongolia, they were about to be that 'second guy' to get to Lady Victory if they didn't get moving.If they hesitated much longer, they knew they'd get clobbered. The unknown person talking to them from the Ministry of Defense was saying that their countries were at war. Shots were being fired. If those generals and colonels had believed there was still time for rational discourse, they would have realized they were engaging in madness.But every second that passed increased the likelihood of planes being caught in their bunkers, runways being cratered, their troops being caught in their barracks and their reserves left unarmed in their homes. The Khanate was broadcasting that a State of War existed. The legitimate governmental infrastructure hadn't adjusted yet, so those militaries went into 'pre-emptive' strike mode.[End World News]So the UN was meeting in Special Session, trying to figure out what had gone wrong in Central Asia. The UN representatives of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan didn't know what was going and as seasoned diplomats, they kept their mouths shut. Only four people in the UN knew the real score.One was my old friend, Oyuun Tömörbaatar, Kazakhstan's Permanent UN Representative. He was fresh off the jet back to New York and most likely, the Khanate's silent ambassador. The other three didn't include the US. No, two of them were Sir Grant, Her Majesty's Representative, and David Donoghue, Ireland's Representative and member of the Illuminati, the O'Shea faction.There also was yet another 'slight problem'. The former Mongolian Representative seemed to have vanished and his Youth Panel Advisor was handing over his own bona fides, which no one at the UN could confirm because the Mongolian Capital, Ulan Bator, was in the midst of a regime change. Until then, Tuguldor Batjargal could speak and talk, but not vote.That news wasn't all that relevant to the Amazons. To the US and the Brits, it was critical. The US Cabinet was still assembling and had no specific orders for their UN Ambassador yet, so it fell to the United Kingdom to make the first move. From the minimal expressions Delilah and Chaz were slipping our way, the Amazons were getting 'Brownie Points' with at least one world government.I had little doubt I was gaining status in Temujin's eyes too. I had delivered diplomatic contact in less than eleven hours, even if it was the British, and not the Americans, putting forth the first feelers. I was soul-sick looking over at Katrina and Elsa. They respected my pain by not congratulating me on a successful diplomatic stratagem.St. Marie had already honored my initiatives by agreeing to send help to the ninja. I doubted such a mission was in the Amazon War Plans Manual. In their past, Amazons always fought alone. Even allies were little more than different factions fighting the same enemy. In the past two weeks that had changed.By my interpretation of events, the Augurs had bound us to the Earth  and  Sky. By conception, I was tied to the Illuminati. I had manipulated my birthright via Vranus to intertwine the blood of House Ishara with that of the 9 Clans. Was I making a difference, not only within my Amazons, but to the World at large?Maybe I was. I would have been happier if I wasn't being such a spaz, stumbling from one encounter to the next, hoping I was doing the right thing. I would have settled for doing the least harm. To survive this, I had to get back to my roots, ambitious playboy. I was going to let people down because of my sexual ambitions. Okay.If I suddenly began to embrace traditional Western morality it was going to break me. I had to prioritize. I was giving women, trapped in the ghostly place between the outside World's secularism and Amazon spiritualism, immortality. I had two unborn daughters and one unborn son who might actually want me around as they grew up."Cáel?" Helena beckoned me. I hadn't heard her come in. I had no idea she was here, which implied another disaster had befallen people in life I cared about. She foisted a box on me. It was wooden, about 30cm x 30cm x 10cm. It had a simple latch that I flipped so that I could look inside. Inside was,"We, the Isharans, decided that if you are going to make a pledge to this outsider woman, then you should give her something of us," she explained. "We were unaware of you making other arrangements, so three of us examined a few of the artifacts Krasimira had transferred to Havenstone and decided on this."I put the box down on the side table. The necklace inside was beautiful, fragile and ancient-looking."It was the gift of a Parthian princess to an Isharan Emissary from, we think it is from the 2nd century," Helena explained. She meant 2nd century CE.The artifacts transferred must have been from the repository of the Amazons, location unknown, that had been held in the Isharan vaults. My House had anticipated my mind-splitting day and selected an engagement gift for Hana Sulkanen."The small selection of rings was unpromising, so, we figure she knows you are unconventional," Helena shrugged.I began crying. I hugged her, then motioned Buffy over to share in the 'family' moment."You are getting married?" CIA Officer Cresky ruined the mood."Yes. I proposed marriage to Hana Sulkanen and she has accepted, but circumstances interrupted my search for the ring," I interlaced deceptions with the truth.I did not mention the timing of the arrangement in order to buy Hana some time to prepare for the CIA rectal probes coming her family's way. I had forgotten the company I ran with."Officer Cresky, if I may?" Chaz spoke in a smooth, yet lethal intonation. "I suggest you circle-file that bit of data." Cresky looked his way, still so sure he knew better than the rest of the room."Very well," Chaz nodded to Cresky. "Before you trip over your own arrogance, think about what we are doing here? Highly equipped mercenaries operating without concern for legal prosecution, bio-terrorism on a scale to rival the European colonization of the Americas, and a military conflict on your soil involving perhaps seven hundred well-armed, experienced light infantry and Special Forces, does any of that ring a bell?""Thank you for that summary, Mr. Whoever-You-Are," Cresky smirked. That lasted about two seconds before FBI Agent Vincent stepped over and landed a painful Gibb-slap (that is from NCIS) to the back of Cresky's head. "What the fuck!" Cresky spat as he stood up, spun around and began to draw down on Vincent.Whoa, we are a fast crowd. Cresky's sixth sense kicked in just in time to realize every Amazon, two of the three Brits, two of the Illuminati and Virginia all held guns pointed at him. Vincent hadn't even bothered to defend himself."Everyone put their guns away," I stated calmly."Let me shoot him," I added with a vicious gleam in my eye. "I've got diplomatic immunity.""Good point," Delilah responded gleefully. "Chaz, go get some of those curtains. We'll used them as a drop cloth. I'll call housekeeping.""I like this plan," Buffy jumped in. "I think we can stuff his body in the refrigerator.""I'll make sure to leave a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door when we leave," Helena finished up our murderous conspiracy. They weren't done with Cresky. Color Sergeant Chaz Tomorrow strode purposefully to the closest drapes and yanked them down with no effort."I'm afraid I can't let you do this," Vincent extended a palm to Chaz.I couldn't begin to describe how stupid that was, had Chaz not been a consummate professional. He dropped the curtains, moved past Vincent and returned to his station by the MI-6 leader who was continuing an unbroken telephone conversation. No sooner had we re-holstered our firearms,"Sulkanen eh?" Senior Field Officer George Cresky looked back at me.The entire time Deidre, Riki, Javiera, Katrina and Captain Moe were on their phones, giving and receiving information from their various organizations. That explained the lack of refereeing from the people with authority, unless you counted on me to be in charge. No one was. The ATF guy had open his laptop and was streaming some data with Elsa looking over his shoulder.The ICE agent was playing phone tag with his brethren in Arizona. They were trying to figure out who all those dead Chinese guys were and how they had gotten into the country, with all their freaking armory. With old Jonas still waiting for his bail hearing, the ICE guy was also juggling the Homeland Security inquiries that Javiera couldn't deal with at the moment."George," I shrugged. "I'm not going to threaten you. It is pointless. You think you are the smartest man in the room. I think you are the fifth smartest and that's only because I've recently experienced a lobotomy that gifted me with five thousand years of life experiences. My money is on Katrina being smarter than Javiera, but I don't really know her yet.""Who do you think is fourth?" George scoffed."Riki, of course, moron. I only rate her below Javiera and Katrina because she even remotely believes I might be Irish," I chuckled."No, I don't," Riki corrected me in a brief interlude in her phone conversation."What about me?" Delilah mused."If you were smarter than me, you would be halfway to Heathrow by now," I pointed out."Damn it!" Delilah snapped her fingers, conceding me this round."Agent Loire, I see you aren't arguing with him," Virginia prodded her colleague."I learned some time ago that I don't need to possess the highest IQ to get the job done. Smart people screw up just as often as dumb ones," Vincent related. "I'm a big believer in common sense and the remarkable ability for most people to ignore it.""Thank you for that wisdom, Sir," I bowed to Vincent. "I'm glad today hasn't been a total waste.""You are saving lives," Virginia brought up. By the looks I was getting from the 'talkers', they agreed with her. I didn't."By all means, when I've actually saved a single soul, let me know," I countered unhappily."Wakko Ishara," Wiesława got my attention, "we need to be going."Making it to Hana on time was on my wish list, so I gave the various female authorities a quick acknowledgement, grabbed the box, and then made for the door. For a split second, I almost made it out the door with only two bodyguards (Wiesława and Saku), almost."Cáel? Where do you think you are going?" Buffy inquired.I was head of a First House of the Amazon Host, a Prince of Hungary, a diplomat from the Pugnacious Nation of Ireland and, a prospective sex toy to the Illuminati."Run for it!" I urged my two companions as I raced past them."Son of a Bitch!" Buffy yelled after me. "Get him!"I really am a bad influence on most of the people I meet. And the three of us were safely ahead of the pack until I had to stop to pound on the elevator button. The reactions of Nikita and Skylar saved me. Nikita put her hand on her piece and took two steps my way. Skylar turned the other way, trying to figure out what we were running from.Buffy collided with her, became tangled up and they fell over together. Helena, coming right behind Buffy, leapt over those two and ended up impacting with Nikita. Helena landed face-first on Nikita's back. Wiesława, Sakuniyas and I fled into the elevator and hit a button for a lower floor."What are we doing?" Wiesława inquired in a nervous tone."I don't want to walk around with a freaking army, Wiesława," I confided. "I want to have a bit of intimacy when I meet with Hana.""Why didn't you tell our sisters that?" she reposted."Would they have listened?" Saku snorted. "Amazon, would you have listened if he insisted you stay away?""I, " Wiesława looked from Saku to me then back to me. "No, but why are we running away from his 'First'?""Child, this oddity I understand," Saku studied me. "Before battle, we would kick the heads of dead enemy scouts around to ease the tension. It was a nonsensical thing to do before facing death. Whatever else I dislike about this one," she gave me a sign of her approval, "he does not shy away from the fight, nor deludes himself into thinking a fight is not coming.""He is easing his nerves," she concluded."That is the nicest thing you've ever said about me," I gave her a respectful nod."I was wrong to doubt you were the grandson of Alal," she explained. "That was one of the things that drew me to him, I loved battle too much and he loved it not at all. We complimented each other."The elevator opened up on the tenth floor and off I ran. The Odd Couple was on my heels."Where are we going?" Wiesława asked."The service elevator. There must be fifty people in the lobby waiting for us and I'm not pulling a Butch and Sundance," I huffed. Those two didn't get it. Pamela would have.Not only did I have to find the service elevator, but I had to find someone in Facilities or Housekeeping because this elevator wasn't for guests and had its own key code. I found the elevator first. The doors opened. It was Pamela."How the?" I huffed as I jumped on board."Rachel fitted you with a tracking device, Chumley," Pamela joked. The four of us were heading down into the bowels of the hotel and, hopefully, an unguarded exit."Damn it!" I groused. "Tennessee, you need to keep me abreast of such things.""Don't Tux your tail between your flippers and waddle away," Pamela chortled."This isn't nearly as much fun when they don't get it," I reminded her."Be patient," Pamela snickered. "I'm sure their curiosity is eating them alive."

In John 8, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world.” Many of us are familiar with this language, yet, the meaning and implications are often lost on us.This week, Pastor Cory unpacks three aspects of light that Jesus brings to bear on our lives. Not only do we experience the light of Christ, but with the Holy Spirit in us, we get to carry his light into difficult situations and dark seasons. And Jesus makes this invitation to whoever believes.Listen to “Whoever You Are,” at bridge.tv/sermons.Support the Show.

This dance of unity within individuality beckons you to unearth your unique strengths, to learn how they can enliven our visionary aspirations. It's about the breathtaking tableau we craft when we are harmonized in purpose and spirit, and how this sense of purpose threads through the tapestry of our everyday existence and builds through us a greater tomorrow.

Spiders catch water from thin air and store it in the web. There's no need to go and find it; they are quenched simply by the water the web holds. Spiders build webs to pull raindrops in toward the center which, in turn, make more room on the edges for new drops to arrive.  What if entering the beloved community were a continuing cycle of coming out from the rain, closer and closer to each other? And what if welcoming those on the edges were the action at our core?  Drops of water and wisdom await us on the web. The more we welcome well, the healthier we all are. What would it take to welcome all people? What would we have to lose? What's not to gain? Call to Worship- Rev.

Spirit's mercy goes way beyond a simple do-over.  It releases us of suffering that we aren't consciously aware of, sorrow that's been going on for ions of time.  In this meditation we come into the Presence of Kwan Yin and let her help us expand the Mercy's Love flame with our breath. “I AM breathing in the forgiving feeling of mercy's love from Beloved Kwan Yin.” “I AM breathing out the forgiving feeling of mercy's love from Beloved Kwan Yin.”  Come, Whoever You Are is on Jennifer's One with the One CD.  The words are by Rumi. You can find it on her Bandcamp site. https://jenniferruthrussell.bandcamp.com/ If this podcast supports you spiritually, please consider fueling it with your financial support.  Any amount is appreciated. https://angelsofabundanceascensionacademy.com/donate/

Olivia Gatwood is a poet and author and it definitely shows in this conversation. We talk her queer journey, feminine rage, and how binary thinking ruins our connection with others. People are complex and we are always more than one thing. This conversation was so timely for me and as an angry, offended woman I found a little more hope through Olivia. Go support her work!!!!!!!Instagram: @oliviagatwoodWebsite: oliviagatwood.comShe is the author of two poetry collections, NEW AMERICAN BEST FRIEND and LIFE OF THE PARTY.  She is the co-writer of the film THE GOVERNESSES alongside director Joe Talbot (The Last Black Man in San Francisco). Her debut novel, WHOEVER YOU ARE, HONEY, will be released in 2023.Support the show

Join John, Zach, and Kathy as they read and discuss a wonderful children's book by Mem Fox called "Whoever You Are"

PBS, ABCI LOVE History of Vocals n Music, Rock & Roll/Soul & Today I Get to go Back BEFORE my Time on Earth in the Rock & Soul Chart Dial to an AWESOME vocalist in the Music Era. And with New Music From The Heart & a Single "After You". Larry also as a  New Jazz Album & a Single with Billy Vera.. And He's Got More Music, Concerts & TV Appearances Too.Larry Chance was the driving force behind the group's formation and success. Chance grew up in Philadelphia and attended high school with Chubby Checker, Frankie Avalon, and Danny Rapp of Danny & the Juniors. But it was not until 1957 that he moved with his parents to the Bronx after high school, that his musical career took off.Chance formed a group at the Tecumsa Social Club, known as the Hi-Hatters. The group was Chance, Bob Del Din, Eddie Harder, Larry Palombo and John Wray. Later, in 1961, the Earls lost their original member Larry Palombo in an army skydiving accident. In 1961, Rome released the Earls' first record – "Life is But a Dream" (Rome 101 – 1961)[2] b/w "It's You" (and in the late 1970s released with "Whoever You Are" as the B-side). The group then performed with Murray the K and on Dick Clark's American Bandstand show. They released another record that year, "Looking For My Baby" (Rome 102) b/w "Cross My Heart".In 1962, the group hooked up with Stan Vincent and recorded "Remember Then" for Old Town Records (Old Town 1130) b/w "Let's Waddle".[2] It was a hit, peaking at #24 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963. Chance co-wrote the group's next single "Never" b/w "I Keep A-Tellin You" (Old Town 1133–1963). The group scored another hit in 1963 on Old Town with "Eyes" b/w "Look My Way" (Old Town 1141). Later, a demo "I Believe" was released (Old Town 1149–1963) b/w "Don't Forget".[2] "I Believe" became a much bigger record from the 1970s onward as it received heavy airplay on NYC oldies radio.Chance later had a brief solo career, recording "Let Them Talk". He returned to the Earls who, at that time, had two new members – Bob Moricco and Ronnie Calabrese. The group started playing their own instruments and, in 1967, recorded "If I Could Do It Over" b/w "Papa" (Mr. G 801 – 1967), and a track for ABC Records, "Its Been a Long Time Coming" b/w "In My Lonely Room" (ABC 11109–1967).The group continued performing into the 1970s and, in 1977, they released a disco version of The Velvets' "Tonight (Could Be the Night)." By 1983, the group's personnel were Chance, Ronnie Calabrese, Colon Rello, Bobby Tribuzio and Tony Obert, and they recorded Larry Chance and the Earls – Today.From 1989-1993, the group consisted of: Larry Chance, Bobby Tribuzzio, Bob Coleman, Art Loria (formerly of The Belmonts) and T.J. Barbella. This roster continued a busy performance schedule and studio works. In 1989, they were on Broadway performing in the original production of A Bronx Tale, a one man play by Chazz Palminteri. They recorded the theme song of the production "Streets of the Bronx", which was slated to appear on the soundtrack of the motion picture A Bronx Tale, however a different version of the song was eventually chosen. Two albums were released: Larry Chance and the Earls (Live!) and Earl Change. Another single released in 1989 was "Elvis:He's Alive", which was warmly received by critics and received a BMI Award of Recognition of a Musical Work. They were nominated as "Best Musical Act" in Atlantic City for their eight week run at The Claridge Hotel, starring with Sal Richards.LarryChanceandtheEarls.com© 2022 Building Abundant Success!!2022 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

This is Unsung a Crack Magazine podcast with Sonos Radio where the world's greatest artists reveal their heroes who never caught the spotlight. Today, we are in conversation with a bonafide pop music legend. Dr. Susan Rogers is one of the world's greatest sound engineers and record producers – and one of the tiny number of women in the profession. If you've ever had a dancefloor moment to 'When Doves Cry' or 'Raspberry Beret' by Prince, you can thank Susan. The technical force behind albums like Purple Rain, Sign o' the Times and Around the World in a Day, she was with Prince through the sleepless nights and notorious 24-hour recording sessions of his commercial peak, from 1983 to 1987. In 1988, she left to produce other artists, resulting in some of the biggest hits of the 90s. She then took her earnings and went back to school, finally graduating from high school aged 44 and then obtaining a PhD in music and psychology. Susan's Unsung choice is a band she produced, who she felt never reached the heights they deserved: Geggy Tah. A jazz, folk, alt and experimental indie duo comprised of Tommy Jordon and Greg Kurstin, together they released three albums over seven years on David Byrne's label Luaka Bop – the first two produced by Susan.

Hey Disrupters! Welcome to the first ever blog for the Woman on Fire Radio Show brought to you straight from the Arena. I am Trudi Lunnie-Thomas, Certified Life and Leadership Coach and Master Disrupter and it is my honor to spend this time with you. Women everywhere are disrupting their status quo, blasting through limitations, rediscovering their greatness and building the lives of their dreams. My mission is to help you to ignite your life, ignite your world. Each episode, we'll explore how you too can shake up your Status Quo and blow your own mind. At the time that I am writing this post, Kansas City is experiencing a heat wave of sorts with today being a scorcher of a day, thirteen degrees hotter than yesterday, which was HOT ENOUGH! Not sure when you're reading this post, but I am sure that whenever that time is, the weather will have changed, that's just life in the Midwest! Maybe I will recall this day when winter comes and the temps here in the Midwest fall to four degrees and I will regret complaining about the heat! All of this makes it a much better idea to stay inside where it's cool talking to all of you. So, let's pull up some chairs and get acquainted. As a Certified Life and Leadership for Woman on Fire Coaching, my goal is to come together with Disrupters like you, near and far, brave women shaking up the status quo every day that she steps into this Arena called Life. So, who is a Disrupter? You are, you just don't know it yet. Who is a Disrupter? You Are! Disruption has received a bad rap lately along with the Women who have dared to be disruptive. Women who have persisted, have been called nasty and yes, disruptive. We're going to change all of that right now. Every disruption or disruptive act begins with the cry, wake up call, a cry for help, a cry for recognition that something's not right, something's not working, something it's never going to work or behave the same ever again. A Disrupter has been defined as someone or something which makes a significant impact in a given industry within a short time span. Someone who interrupts the progress or normal course or unity of a thing, a movement, an industry, radically changing a situation. I want to say that again because it's just so powerful. A Disrupter is someone, a Woman, who disrupts the progress or normal course of a movement, radically changing a situation. It is easy to celebrate the Public Disrupters who are leading Fortune 500 companies or women who are leaders in Congress or other offices. The disrupters who are Activists and Leaders in our communities and we love them. This show is for the Invisible, Silent Disrupters: the women raising their families, taking care of elderly parents. The single moms. The college student. The Superwoman. The stay at home caretakers. Women like you who are shaking up the Status Quo every day, whether this is at home, at work, at life. You are doing more, becoming more and having more, living unapologetically true to your calling. As Disrupters, when we stand up for ourselves, we are standing up for women everywhere. When we stand in for someone else, we hold the world on our shoulders. We are disrupters for all women, not just the women today, but for all women to come: for the girls on the playground, or the teens in high school chemistry or the new college graduates. Maybe you feel that you don't make a difference, that you can't make a difference. You do – every day. And it's a lot of work! Occasionally during all this BUSY-ness, we tend to forget to look out for ourselves. As a Certified Life Coach, it is my honor to work with women who are ready and willing to reconnect with themselves – what makes you unique, what makes you happy, what makes you feel fulfilled – and reopen yourself to the possibilities of YOU. That's who this show is for. YOU ARE A DISRUPTER. So, I know someone might say, well, what's all of this talk about an Arena? I'm a mom, not a fighter. Or I'm busy just trying to make it through to the next day, I don't want to talk about fighting. I hear you. Disruptive times call for disruptive measures. Let's talk about your Arena, your life. The space you enter every waking moment of your life, equipped with your “Sword”, habits that you've adopted to defend yourself and your “Shield”, beliefs that you've instilled within to protect yourself. This Arena is where you raise your kids, where you go to work, where you live and thrive and survive. Your Arena is built on a culmination of the stories or experiences that make up your life and is fueled by your love, your wins, your losses and even your fears. Also, who else occupies your Arena on any given day: Spouses, children, bosses, coworkers, how are they affected? What are their roles in your Arena? As women, sometimes we find ourselves falling prey to “IF/THEN” thinking in your Arena as you mull over things that affect your decision such as “IF I make this change, what THEN happens to everyone else? You might ask “who am I to disrupt the Status Quo, even the Status Quo of others? Are my hopes and dreams more important than those of others? Your life is not lived in a vacuum; indeed, every part affects the other. Balance is a myth in your Arena, no matter how hard you try if you move one piece, the others shift as well. If you remove an element in this Arena, Life rushes in to fill the void. It is constant in motion. But it is not on autopilot. Life does not happen to us, it happens because of us. Some days you will enter this Arena ready and able to face whatever comes your way. Some days you will barely drag yourself out of the Arena, wondering how you will face another day. Maybe your comfort zone has grown uncomfortable. Maybe this space is great, it offers everything that you could ever want as a Disrupter. Or you might feel that things could be better. Or glad that they are not worse. Maybe you want different, you want to stretch beyond your Status Quo. Sometimes our efforts are hampered by what I define as the Status Quo: Your normal way of doing things. The way things have always been done. Perhaps that worked for you then, but now, you've decided that you want more, that you want to step into the fullness of your own personality, the fullness of your life as it could be. But you just don't know how. That is the beauty of being a Disrupter. You get to choose every day how you enter your Arena. I coach my clients in the areas of disrupting their status quo by disrupting the limiting beliefs that have kept them at a standstill in their Arena. As a coach, I am honored to be able to coach Disrupters like yourself on how to equip yourself to meet whatever is presented in your Arena, preparing you to be able to face whatever comes out that gate. That's what the Woman on Fire Show is about, igniting or reigniting your flame within, encouraging you to step out beyond those limitations to explore your life to move you from “What Now” to “What's Next”. It's time to disrupt some stuff. So, Disrupters, as we begin this crazy wonderful journey together, let me ask you this question: What is the Call for Action on your life that is so large that it would force you to get up, stand up and be counted? What is the thing you are most willing to fight for no matter what the cost, a reason for being so large, so all-consuming that it is causing you to say enough! I cannot do this any longer! I have to make a change now! What are you willing to fight for, to be a bold and confident warrior for during these crazy and exciting times. As Disrupters, we are on the frontline, it's time to pick up your Sword and Shield and do work. And I am there with you in the Arena, standing shoulder to shoulder with you as your Coach. Let's disrupt your Status Quo! So, I realize that our first visit together has been a little bit like drinking from a firehose, it's a lot for a first show but I am so excited that you joined me today and I cannot wait to meet you here again for our next episode to explore what it means to be a Disrupter in your Arena. The Woman on Fire Show will be published every other week but check back often, sometimes, I will get a bee in my bonnet and will just want to pop in to chat with you, hope that's all right! So, until next time, Disrupter! Thanks for joining me and I look forward to talking with you soon! Bye Bye! “I hope you enjoyed this episode of Woman On Fire Radio. To continue the conversation, please come over to my blog at thearena.online/blog. Thank you! This episode is brought to you by the Woman on Fire New Coach Course “Come Out, Come Out, Whoever You Are, Silencing the Imposter Within To Reclaim Who You Were Meant To Be”, my upcoming six-module online course designed to get down to and break through the limitations that have kept you bound. For more information, email me at Trudi@thearena.onlineto get on the list for more information. I can't wait to work with you! Go out and disrupt something!

So I was talking to a married person I know (SN: THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU! WHOEVER YOU ARE!) and they said they don't want their spouse to hang around single people. To them it didn't make sense because they are "living two different lifestyles". That was the dumbest shit I ever heard! So I must address it on K-100. First of all, a married person has to interact with single people in all aspect of life anyway. From work to family they will inevitably be around single people in a social capacity so the friends are going to come. To add to that, if you are a cheater you just are, no one else can influence you to cheat if you really don't want to. This is like saying rap music makes you act a certain way, and we all know where I stand on that issue! So let me get to the point right quick: DO YOU THINK MARRIED PEOPLE SHOULD HANG OUT WITH SINGLE PEOPLE, AND WHY OR WHY NOT? If you are okay with it, would you trust them any less when they are out with their single friends? Of course we are not talking bout the opposite sex, we already had the JUST A FRIEND episode. That's a NEGATIVE! But we are talking about friends of the SAME SEX. Is there certain places that you feel a married person should not go in the first place? What if your spouse single friends was all going out of town together...lets say ON A CRUISE...would you let him/her go with a group of people of the same sex if a few of them was single? Once again, is this a TRUST ISSUE? Because as I have stated numerous times, if they gone do something wrong they gonna do it and who they are around wont matter. If you are single, do you like to hang around married people? Do they seem a little less fun when you go somewhere like the club with them? If your spouse has a single friend that you KNOW is a HO...does that make a difference? If you are single and your married friend does cheat, would you cover for them? Hmmm....
