Lynn Rosenthal Keep Moving Forward

Today's guest is Lynn Rosenthal, who served in both the Obama and Biden Administrations. Vice President Joe Biden [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden] appointed her to be the first ever White House [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House] advisor on violence against women [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_against_women] in 2009. We have been in each other's orbits for many years in the movement. I am so grateful she took the time to discuss her early days in the work, working with President's Obama and Biden, and the opportunities for change she sees in the current climate.

Disrupting The Man Box & Promoting Healthy Masculinity w/Tony Porter

This conversation was years in the making!! I got to sit down with longtime colleague Tony Porter. Tony is an author, educator, and activist working to advance gender and racial justice and create a more equitable society. He is internationally recognized for his efforts to prevent violence against women while promoting a healthy, respectful vision of manhood and he informed so much of what I think about preventing violence! We talked about what drew him into the work, how his work has changed over the years, the need to research men's pathology, what he's grieving, and what he's grateful for. A Call To Men works to transform society by promoting healthy, respectful manhood [https://www.acalltomen.org/healthy-manhood/] and offering trainings [https://www.acalltomen.org/events/] and educational resources [https://www.acalltomen.org/resources/] for companies, government agencies, schools, and community groups. https://www.acalltomen.org/about/ [https://www.acalltomen.org/about/]

Disrupting The Spiritual Industrial Complex

Dr. Sandra Marie and I talk about the stepse she took to disrupt the way we experience spiritual/wellness communities. DR. Sandra Maries is a nurse, clinician, and lifelong questioner who has spent years at the intersection of healthcare, spirituality, and lived human experience. Her work, Spiral Rebellion, was born from her own journey of releasing identities that no longer served her—and recognizing the beliefs she had been carrying without ever choosing.
