Across the South, the word witch has been used to explain what people fear and cannot control. For generations, healers, midwives, conjurers and root workers carried knowledge their communities needed, yet often faced suspicion when tragedy struck. In this episode of Southern Mysteries, we explore the real lives and southern legends behind those branded as witches. From colonial courts to mountain cabins and coastal swamps, these stories reveal how the line between healing and haunting has always been thin and how fear can turn ordinary people into figures of folklore.

Guest: Mark Wigginton   Guest Bio: Mark Wigginton is a seasoned coach, consultant, and strategy advisor with over 30 years of sales expertise. As the founder of Focusing On Results, Mark combines deep insights into human behavior with actionable strategies to help his clients achieve personal and professional growth. Since 2001, he's worked as a coach and consultant to business development executives and teams, helping business professionals clarify goals, strengthen teams, and cultivate their growth. His many years in sales taught him the power of focused goal-setting and resilience, lessons that are integral to his coaching approach today. In addition to his professional accomplishments, his personal journey reflects his dedication to personal growth and achievement. Starting as a “couch slouch,” at 45, he transformed his life through disciplined goal-setting, ultimately completing 18 marathons and an Ironman triathlon. This personal experience helps him deeply understand and support clients on their own transformation journeys.   Key Points: Career Journey and Sales Training: Mark's career evolved in three phases—starting with technology sales, transitioning to community mental health, and later working as a management consultant, sales trainer, and coach. His early sales training emphasized customer focus, earning the right to advance in sales, and persuasive involvement. His work as a counselor taught him the importance of listening and focusing on the customer's needs, skills he later integrated into his sales approach.   Ironman and Marathon Experience: Mark's late start in endurance sports (running and triathlons) at 45 helped him develop discipline, which he applied to sales, emphasizing the importance of goal setting, consistency, and incremental progress.   Goal Setting Framework: Mark advocates for breaking down larger goals into smaller, achievable steps, using the ABCs of goal setting: Accept reality, focus on the basics, and maintain consistency. This applies to both athletic training and sales.   Sales Goal Setting for Teams: Mark emphasizes the importance of empowering salespeople to set their own goals, which leads to higher motivation and ownership. Managers should involve their team members in the goal-setting process to achieve better results.   Customer Focus and Communication: Salespeople must adapt their messages to the right audience within an organization—senior leaders versus operations staff—ensuring relevancy to each group's needs.   Guest Links:  Free downloadable tools: www.focusingonresults.com       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault. The vault is packed full of free gifts from sales leaders, sales experts, marketing gurus and revenue generation experts.  Download your free gift, 81 Tools to Grow Your Sales & Your Business Faster, More Easily & More Profitably.

In this episode, Christine, Catherine and I delve into a subject that is both timely and essential – the dynamics of interracial friendships and the impact of these relationships on the journey of parenting. Their new book, Rebecca, Not Becky follows two upper-class stay-at-home mothers (one white, one Black) - who are tasked with “Making a (blank) Friend.” [fill in: white or black, accordingly). The backdrop is a "perfect" suburbia where these women must coexist and navigate motherhood, friendship, and the true meaning of sisterhood amidst the backdrop of America's all-too-familiar racial reckoning. The authors share their own experiences with parenting and how to answer some of the questions we're not quite sure how to answer.

About the book: De'Andrea Whitman, her husband Malik, and their 5-year-old daughter, Nina, are new to the upper-crust white suburb of Rolling Hills, Virginia—a move motivated by circumstance rather than choice. De'Andrea is heartbroken to leave her comfortable life in the Black oasis of Atlanta, and between her mother-in-law's Alzheimer's diagnosis, her daughter starting kindergarten, and the overwhelming whiteness of Rolling Hills, she finds herself struggling to adjust to her new community. To ease the transition, her therapist proposes a challenge: make a white girlfriend. When Rebecca Myland learns about her new neighbors, the Whitmans, she's thrilled. As chair of the Parent Diversity Committee at her daughters' school, she's championed racial diversity in the community—and what could be better than a brand-new Black family? It's serendipitous when her daughter, Isabella, and Nina become best friends on the first day of kindergarten. Now, Rebecca can put everything she's learned about antiracism into practice—especially those oh-so-informative social media posts. And finally, the Parent Diversity Committee will have some… well, diversity. Following her therapist's suggestion, De'Andrea reluctantly joins Rebecca's committee. The painfully earnest white woman is so overly eager it makes De'Andrea wonder if Rebecca's therapist told her to make a Black friend! But when Rolling Hill's rising racial sentiments bring the two women together in common cause, they find it isn't the only thing they have in common.

Tracey Wigginton, who became infamously known as the Lesbian Vampire Killer, achieved notoriety for the brutal and merciless murder of Edward Clyde Baldock in 1989. This heinous act was carried out with the involvement of three accomplices. The motive behind the murder of Baldock was rooted in Wigginton's professed vampiric cravings, as she asserted a need for human blood to sustain her existence.

Tony Wagner is one of the world's most respected and distinguished Educational thinkers. Where the names of John Dewey, John Holt, Piaget, Wigginton and others have been on the lips of prospective teachers and educators in the past, today, and in future years Tony Wagner's name will be joined with them. Why? Because Tony Wagner, for more than 20 years has been urging and cajoling political, economic and educational leaders, as well as citizens, to recognize that rethinking education in this age of innovations is urgently needed. Not simply reform of the outdated “seat-time” model we have employed for generations but a recognition that the world has changed and our system for educating citizens and entrepreneurs must reflect the new world in which we live.You'll understand after listening why I wanted to speak with Tony for this special edition of our “Rediscovering Our Song” series. As you might guess, I am an enthusiastic proponent of Tony Wagner's ideas. I think after listening to this podcast, and following some of the links on our show notes to learn more, you will be as well.

Dane Wigginton has been researching and exposing clandestine geo-engineering efforts since 2002. He first became interested in weather modification when he noticed the decline in the energy output of solar panels due to a strange increase in cloud cover and the impact of acidic rain on pristine forests in the Lake Shasta area. His website geoengineeringwatch.org contains multiple documents and patents going back to the late 1800s showing how geo-engineering efforts have been pursued as a means of controlling the planet. In this Exopolitics Today interview, Wigginton discusses the incontrovertible data that geo-engineering has been occurring and used to steer hurricanes, create droughts, earthquakes, and events that are part of a secret geopolitical agenda. He believes that the Georgia Guidestones revealed the true intent behind weather modification of reducing the planet's population to 500 million. He also responds to questions about the dual use of weather modification technologies as energy weapons that can be used against satellites and UFOs, whether of human or non-human origin.

Many people in Celina, Texas have heard of the famous "Tuesday Night Massacre" by now. In this episode, Host Ron Lyons deep dives into the Celina, Texas city council meeting from June 14, 2022 where four city council members (Wendie Wigginton, Jay Pierce, Philip Ferguson and Tony Griggs) devised a plan to terminate (forcibly vacate) every citizen member's position on every single board and commission (except the Board of Adjustments) on the exact night that two of those four council members (Ferguson and Griggs) had just sworn in. A plan in which, unfortunately, they were successful in carrying out.  In order for such a plan to be undertaken on the first night of Ferguson and Griggs service on the council, there had to be discussions and plans made between each of them and Wigginton and Pierce. The term collusion certainly fits this situation and "if" Celina, Texas residents knew this took place, it could certainly create doubt and distrust between between the citizens and council. This move has been seen by most as dangerous, similar to twirling a loaded gun on your finger -perhaps you make it through just fine and look like a real showman, or perhaps you destroy life as we know it in Celina, Texas. Supporters of the four instigators of the Tuesday Night Massacre will quickly point to the fact that no major harm was done. In other words, in spite of the risks willfully taken by these four council members, we got lucky. But, it isn't the outcome that is the problem. Instead, it's their willingness to gamble with the future and the vision of what is arguably one of the most amazing cities in Texas. As bad as the Russian Roulette game was that was forced upon the City of Celina by these four council members, there is sadly, more. One specific instance was when Wigginton and Ferguson decided (knowing they held the majority on city council and therefore could pass anything they desired) to put City Manager Jason Laumer on the council agenda to force his termination. (As a side note, approximately three months prior to Wigginton and Ferguson's effort to put Laumer on the agenda for termination, the Celina City Council had voted to not only renew, but to extend Jason Laumer's employment contract with Celina, a move that would indicate their satisfaction with his performance as City Manager.) Ferguson ultimately responded to the outpouring of support for Laumer and ended up changing his intention to help terminate Laumer. Without Ferguson's vote, the council would;d have been split and the Mayor would have to break the tie, presumably in favor of keeping Laumer in his position as City Manager, therefore Wigginton pulled Laumer from the agenda and to this day, Jason Laumer still serves as Celina City Manager. And, it's a great thing that this effort failed because a third party study of the job satisfaction of City of Celina employees (over 250 of them) and culture of the workplace within the City of Celina was undertaken. The results would either reflect that Council Member Wigginton was correct in her desire to terminate City Manager Laumer, or it would show that she was incorrect and that Laumer was in fact, doing a good job. The results? Stellar! As it turns out, the results of the report show that City Manager Jason Laumer has created a Celina workforce that is very happy in their jobs and that they love the culture working for the City of Celina. These are uncomfortable issues to address, and most people do not have the two hours and twenty minutes to watch the council meeting from June 14th, 2022 and were not able to attend. Therefore, Host Ron Lyons takes us on a tour of the critically dangerous steps taken by the new majority of the Celina City Council on the night now known as The Tuesday Night Massacre.

In the original Bram Stoker novel, vampire Count Dracula uses mysterious mind-control powers to feed his insatiable need for blood. He doesn't always hunt alone—he prefers to use hapless humans as tools to get what he wants. For such an old story, it sure does match up with the kind of manipulation we tend to see in the real-life cases we cover. And in Brisbane, Australia in 1989, life would imitate art in an almost literal way, as an obsessed young woman drew three others into her murderous web.
