Episode 41: Are New Year's Resolutions Better in the Spring? 🤔

Episode 45: The Man New York Forgot?

You can stand in Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza—just steps from the United Nations—and never learn who Dag Hammarskjöld was. No context. No explanation. Just a name on the street. In this episode of Decoding the Unicorn: The Podcast, I explore a strange and unsettling question: How does someone so important become so invisible? Dag Hammarskjöld wasn’t just a historical figure—he helped define modern diplomacy and led the United Nations through some of its most fragile moments. And yet, in the very city where his legacy should be alive and visible, his story is barely told. This isn’t just about a missing plaque. It’s about how history is remembered, and how it quietly fades. In this episode, I share: *  Why the absence of context in Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza matters  *  What happens when we reduce a legacy to a name alone  *  My own efforts to change that—and what I’ve discovered along the way  Because sometimes, history isn’t overtly erased. It’s just not explained. *** For insider information & spilled tea, please subscribe to my weekly newsletter, The Unicorn Dispatch, here: https://sara-causey.kit.com/2d8b7742dd [https://sara-causey.kit.com/2d8b7742dd] Sara's award-winning biography of Dag can be found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Unicorn-New-Look-Hammarskj%C3%B6ld-ebook/dp/B0DSCS5PZT [https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Unicorn-New-Look-Hammarskj%C3%B6ld-ebook/dp/B0DSCS5PZT] Her forthcoming project, Simply Dag, will release globally on July 29th! ✨  #DagHammarskjöld #UNHistory #ForgottenHistory #HiddenHistory #NYCHistory  #PublicHistory #HistoricalLegacy #QuietLeadership #Diplomacy #ColdWarHistory  #UntoldStories #HistoryMatters #StoryBehindTheName #CulturalMemory #NewYorkCity

Episode 44: Feeling Lost? Start Here. (Self-Knowledge Changes Everything)

What if the problem isn’t that you don’t know what to do… but that you’ve never really been taught how to know yourself? Let’s talk about self-knowledge—the kind that quietly reshapes your decisions, your relationships, and the direction of your life. Because most people aren’t actually lost. They’re just disconnected from themselves. #selfknowledge #feelingstuck #findyourdirection #personalgrowth #selfdiscovery #innerlife #emotionalintelligence #mindsetshift #lifedirection #clarity #purpose #knowyourself #growthjourney #midlifereflection #authenticliving  *** For insider information & spilled tea, please subscribe to my weekly newsletter, The Unicorn Dispatch, here: https://sara-causey.kit.com/2d8b7742dd [https://sara-causey.kit.com/2d8b7742dd] Sara's award-winning biography of Dag can be found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Unicorn-New-Look-Hammarskj%C3%B6ld-ebook/dp/B0DSCS5PZT [https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Unicorn-New-Look-Hammarskj%C3%B6ld-ebook/dp/B0DSCS5PZT] Her forthcoming project, Simply Dag, will release globally on July 29th! ✨

Episode 43: War Has Begun… What Would Dag Hammarskjöld Say?

With the United States and Israel now at war with Iran, the headlines feel eerily familiar: escalation, retaliation, alliances hardening, and the fear that this could spiral into something much larger. So now that war has begun… what would Dag Hammarskjöld say? After all: history doesn’t just repeat. It warns.
