Penis Politics with Karen Hinton

Mondays 7:00pm - 8:00pm (EDT).WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN? - Karen addresses how the dynamic of how men’s internal struggle becomes an outward abuse of women, and how this is exacerbated in the case of men who hold power in any manifestation. With great respect for what #metoo accomplished, Karen saw there was no attention being given to the middle class and low-income women. - Through her powerful stories, Karen inspires women - and men - to speak up, not shut up about sexual abuse and misconduct. - Karen offers strategic actions to confront sexual abuse. EPISODE SUMMARY: Mississippi native Karen Hinton is a nationally-recognized media professional in Washington and New York. Best known for her role as press secretary to both former Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Hinton played what Politico dubbed the “Helen of Troy role” in the clash between Cuomo, now the former Governor of New York, and Mayor de Blasio. The New York Times called the clash “one of America’s ugliest political feuds.” Hinton cut her teeth as the press secretary for the first Black Congressman from Mississippi since Reconstruction in 1986. The Democratic National Committee hired her in 1989, serving a similar role for Ron Brown, who was the first Black Chairman of the DNC and a key political strategist to elect Bill Clinton as President. In 1995, Hinton joined the Clinton Administration as press secretary for Cuomo at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. During that time, President Clinton began to face charges of womanizing (and worse). Hinton later relocated to New York and became Mayor de Blasio’s press secretary. She found herself at the center of the crossfire between longtime frenemies Cuomo and de Blasio, often becoming the subject of news coverage herself. Hinton was at the peak of her career when a catastrophic brain injury from a freak accident confronted her with the battle of her life. Emerging from a coma, learning to walk and talk again, Hinton was determined to “speak up not shut up” on issues involving women, men and power in politics. She is the author of the best selling book, Penis Politics. https://penis-politics.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenhinton/ https://www.facebook.com/karen.hinton3 Instagram @jkarenhinton TikTok @karenhinton All Episodes of The Edge of Everyday Sandra Bargman on The Edge of Everyday https://www.youtube.com/@sandraamazon ‍ Tune in for this edgy conversation at TalkRadio.nyc

The Ragged Edge of Hope: Climate Peril + Presence with Lynne Sedgmore

Climate Change, Climate Peril is demanding our attention and dramatically reconfiguring our relationship with Nature. So…how do we navigate the edges between crippling climate anxiety and informed activism? What is the edge between hope and denial? My guest today can help us to explore those questions. Dr. Lynne Sedgemore is a certified coach, founder of the Goddess Luminary Wheel teachings, Poet, Interfaith Minister, Priestess, healer, non executive, thought leader and Enneagram teacher. Lynne is Chair of the Glastonbury Town Deal, leading an investment of nearly £25 million for the town. She is a certified coach and organizational/community consultant working freelance with CEOs, Chairs, senior leaders and teams from the education, faith, charity, health, community, sport and private sectors. Her organizations have won numerous national and international awards including the International Spirit at Work Award, and the British Diversity Award. She was awarded the CBE in 2004 for services to Further Education. Her new book is Presence Activism: A Profound Antidote to Climate Anxiety. Listen in on this fascinating conversation, in which we take our conversation about reweaving our relationship with Nature into the depths of Climate Peril. What is Presence? And to ask Dr Lynne, what are the many types of Presence with which we can engage to maintain our Hope in the face of anxiety and despair and possible extinction and continue to move us into action and creative solutions to inevitable collapse? “We are in climate peril, and time is not on our side. Presence Activism, by Lynne Sedgmore, is the book we all need right now - in this Present moment, Lynne Sedgmore herself walks the delicate balance of powerful mystic and magic maker, with her rich and depth-filled Presence Wisdom, that edges up with her fierce, informed activist warrior – dramatically mirroring both the poignantly regenerative and the ragingly ferocious edges of Mother Earth right now. Rich with resources to motivate and mobilize the reader, Sedgmore gives us a map (a high-octane GPS!) to deepen and expand our presence to move beyond our overwhelming anxiety and crippling fear – into activating our courage, putting the climate and ecological crisis on everyone’s lips, and to taking action. Both a clarion call and a prayerful practice, Presence Activism supports all of us in our greater understanding of our interconnectedness with All beings, and how to move that Kincentric mindset out into doing the work of Rebalancing Life on Mother Earth.” – Sandra Bargman Watch on Youtube: https://app.maximizeu.life/podcast/edgeofeveryday Find Lynne: www.LynneSedgmore.co.uk @LynneSedgy Connect with your host Sandra Bargman: WebsiteYouTubeInstagramLinkedIn

The Edge of Artistry, Aegism, and Activism: No Malarkey! with Joanna Rush

Today we are #LIVEintheHIVE with actor and playwright, Joanna Rush, who has a new performance piece, No Malarkey! headed to The United Solo Theatre Festival on March 16, 2024. She and I have so much to talk about, so many parallels to our journeys, but in particular, the theme to which I return again and again… the artist as healer. In this episode, we explore the edges where storytelling and trauma, activism and healing all meet. Joanna Rush is a playwright, actor, dancer, Interfaith minister, and author. Originally from New Jersey, she moved to NYC to dance with the famed ROCKETTES, and went on to work as a dancer, choreographer, and actor on both coasts, on Broadway, Off-Broadway and in regional theatres across the country, as well as in film and television. Her Broadway credits include A Chorus Line, Shirley McClaine at The Palace and Pousse-Café, and Off-Broadway credits include Daughters, Inside Out, Grandma Sylvia's Funeral, Broadway Scandals of 1928 among others. Joanna is a seminary trained Interfaith/Inter-spiritual minister and counselor and received ordination through One Spirit Interfaith Learning Alliance. As a playwright, she wrote KICK – It’s not how high. It’s how strong! (Formerly titled Asking For It) and has performed it Off Broadway and at All For One Theater Festival, 2013: NY Society for Ethical Culture, The Kirk Theater, Stocker Arts Center, Peter Jay Sharp Theater, Gloucester Stage, and in colleges and theaters across the US. She was chosen to perform sections of the play for “International Women’s Day” sponsored by the United Nations Counsel on the Empowerment of Women” and the Hunger Project. She was nominated for the Off-Broadway Alliance OBA Award for best performance in a solo play. In this episode, we focus on her powerful one-woman No Malarkey! “Joanna Rush is Joe Biden’s karmic twin and proud of it. Their careers have been parallel — maybe with a few exceptions. Ex-Rockette, Joanna Rush still does huge fan kicks and Joe did recently fall off his bike, but what they share are tumultuous Catholic upbringings, near death experiences, astrological signs, and a “no malarky” approach to life and the Supreme Court.” Joanna is masterful at mining both the trauma and the comedy from her life to explore the themes of rape, abortion, religion, feminism, ageism, climate change, and voting rights to uplift, educate and empower her audiences! Listen in to this compelling conversation!

The Evolving Identity of Kindness with Pooya Mohseni

Today we are #LIVEintheHIVE with actor and activist, Pooya Mohseni for a compelling conversation on the evolution of IDENTITY. My listeners know that my opening question to all my guests is “WHAT Identity do you lead with”? The answers are always fascinating. Identity is a big concept to unpack, especially in today’s world. People who are overly concerned with the impression they make, or more importantly, people who feel a core aspect of themselves, such as gender or sexuality, is not being expressed, can struggle acutely with their identity. Reflecting on the discrepancy between who one is, who one is perceived to be, and who one wants to be can be a powerful catalyst for change. * Identity, race, gender are all a social constructs, All of Life is a spectrum. * Fear of Change Vs the embrace of Change. * Transitioning from one closet to another - the closet of CIS privaledge. * The embrace of our shadow side, and using our anger for transformation. * The hierarchy of CIS and Trans competition. * We share about the play we did together in 2015 - and her upcoming work - AND making her Broadway debut, Pooya Mohseni is a multi award-winning Iranian American actor, writer, filmmaker and transgender activist. Her stage credits include an obie win in the Pulitzer and Obie winning play English (Atlantic Theater Company + The Old Globe Theater), the world premiere of The Sex Party (Menier Chocolate Factory) in London, Hamlet (Play On Shakespeare Festival), She,He,Me (National Queer Theater), Our Town (Pride Plays), Galatea (The WP Project), The Good Muslim (EST), White Snake (Baltimore Center Stage), and the Audible production of Chonburi Hotel & The Butterfly Club (Williamstown Theater Festival). Her film and television credits include Law & Order: SVU, Big Dogs, Falling Water, Madam Secretary, Terrifier and See You Then.

Being In Liminal Space with Susan Lambert

Happy Birthday to Me! I have a fun ritual that I do every year on my birthday – I try something new – something really physical – and something I’ve never done before. For example, one year I ziplined, I did hot yoga one year – one year I went pole dancing, one year I attended a sweat lodge – this year, I’m going rock climbing! I love this ritual – and my loyal listeners know how I adore ritual – because it reminds me to keep thinking outside of the box and to let go of what may be MY “tried and true”. It’s an act that symbolizes for me starting this next year of my life with boldness and an embrace of change. And that is what being on the edge of everyday is all about… Today we are #LIVEintheHIVE with our special guest, actor, singer, podcast host, psychotherapist, multi- hyphenate Extraordinairre and master storyteller, Susan Lambert. Susan and I share a deep love of the exploration of liminal space. I love being in a liminal space. It’s why I adore ritual. Ritual is an invitation into s liminal space for transformation. And I know it’s why I boldly embrace change – or – at least most of the time. It’s why I call myself an Edgewalker. So what is liminal space? Listen in on this moving conversation to find out. We touch on… What is the definition of liminal space?Susan leads with the identity of connector – connecting people and ideas. She is a liminal space explorer (AKA Edgewalker) – most often walking between the worlds of artist and helper/service leader and shares about the similarities of the worlds through her discovery of “being known” with both clients and audiences.Her first experience of liminal space as a young person.Our shared understanding of being on stage, of performing theatre, as being in liminal space.Bridgebuilding is a skill of someone who resides in liminal space.Susan shares her discovery of the power of choice in the difficult industry of show business. And her experience of tumbling between a few liminal spaces to create a way to have and be both an artist and a healer.The rough edges of letting go and the death of who we think we should be.Succumbing to the rabbit holes of potential and promise, and learning that dreams can shift and evolve.How wanting to be in liminal space shows up in her creative and therapeutic work.Her audio book, The Wild Edge of the Heart: Susan shares the idea for and journey of bringing to life the poetry of 12 women poets and donating the proceeds to The National Institute for Reproductive Health. https://nirhealth.org/The willingness to forgo the answers and to live into the questions, in Life, therapy and in artistic expression.Our shared love of Salon – it’s ability to connect, build community, inspire, and create belonging in these challenging times, and the possibility of her performing in my salon space, The Plum at TH2. www.theplumth2.com Watch Video: https://maximizeu.life/the-edge-of-everyday/ Find Susan: https://www.inthebalance.life/susan https://www.wildedgeheart.com/ https://bsky.app/profile/susanlambert2.bsky.social Connect with your host Sandra Bargman: WebsiteYouTubeInstagramLinkedIn

What Will It Take to Know the Girl God? with Trista Hendren

Happy May Day! This episode was recorded on Earth Day, April 22, and drops on May Day – some very potent energy! Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22nd, aimed at raising awareness and promoting environmental protection. It's a global movement where individuals, communities, and organizations unite to take action and address environmental and climate crisis issues. May Day's cultural significance is deeply intertwined with spring goddesses and pagan rituals… its roots lie in ancient celebrations of fertility, nature, and of spring at its peak, often linked to deities like Flora (the Roman goddess of flowers), and Maia (the Greek goddess of fertility), and to the Celtic holiday, Beltane. Here in the US, the government is rolling back every regulation and law they can to rape our environment, decimate our ecosystems, and dominate our Mother EARTH. The Patriarchal paradigm on parade for all to witness – a system built on separation. From body, from land, from lineage, from the sacred. What will it take to know the Girl God, the sacred feminine? Today we are #LiveintheHive with Trista Hendren, author, speaker, visionary founder of Girl God Books and ONE POWERFUL voice, mother, and leader in the dismantling of the patriarchal mindset and the remembrance and return to the wisdom and mystery of the Divine feminine, and to the ancient truth of kinship, reciprocity, and inter-being. I was very moved by our passionate conversation. With so little to be sure of in these challenging times, I took great comfort in the probing vulnerability that was shared. We touched on… Trista walks between many worlds. She was raised in a conservative Christian home and later wanted to become a pastor, only to realize there was no genuine leadership role for her in this denomination. She shares her story of her discovery of feminism, her Interfaith curiosity and conversion to Islam, and how living in Lebanon was life changing.The power of female sacred art and iconography, and the importance of the curated art she’s used on book covers for Girl God Books.She shares the story of how her daughter inspired her to write The Girl God, the subsequent trilogy, and the evolution to starting Girl God books.What presses most on Trista is the time we have left! Women must regain their inner knowing – and we must improve our education of young women. Leaders must be held accountable.The enormous need for self-care in these challenging times.Her leading edge is her focus on the Palestinian genocide.The need for and power of ceremony and ritual and the incredible creation of a 2-ton concrete sculpture of The Goddess of Willendorf by her beloved husband on her property in Norway. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Venus-of-WillendorfAll this and so much more… You can find more about Trista Hendren's projects at www.thegirlgod.com Resources: https://www.instagram.com/grandmothersagainstgenocide/ https://www.instagram.com/mothersagainstgenocide/ https://mariannebergvall.substack.com/p/norways-prime-minister-accused-of-complicity-to-genocide?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true Connect with your host Sandra Bargman: WebsiteYouTubeInstagramLinkedIn
