I Didn’t Want to Have Kids. My Husband Did. Could Our Marriage Survive?

When Helena de Groot was a child, she pictured an exciting future for herself: living in a big city, getting an apartment with lots of plants, having a creative job and going dancing on the weekends. She never saw becoming a mother as part of that future. When people asked, she told them she didn’t want children. As she grew up, got married and watched her friends become parents, she stood by that decision. But, deep down, she had doubts. The question of whether she was making the right decision for the right reasons consumed Helena’s thinking, and had profound implications for her life and marriage. This week on the “Modern Love” podcast, she discusses how she navigated uncertainty, how it changed her life and how she imagined her future. Helena de Groot’s podcast about her experience, “Creation Myth,” is available from the CBC.

Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult and Don't Even Know It?

In a conversation that’s equal parts psychological thriller and masterclass in influence, Trevor and Eugene sit down with world-renowned cult expert Dr. Steven Hassan. Recruited into the Unification Church (aka the Moonies) as a college student, Hassan rose through its ranks before ultimately breaking free — an experience that reshaped his life’s work and inspired his bestselling book The Cult of Trump. From fringe groups to social media echo chambers, the trio unpack how and why ordinary people get swept into systems of extreme belief, the ways loyalty is engineered, and what separates healthy persuasion from manipulation. They also explore why the line between conviction and control is thinner and closer to home than we think. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rosicrucian American Order Part 4: The Original James Bond

88: Rosicrucian American Order Part 4: The Original James Bond - Rosicrucianism is a spiritual and cultural movement influenced by Esoteric Christianity and Hermeticism that arose in early modern Europe in the early 17th century after the publication of several texts announcing to the world a new secret society. Rosicrucianism is symbolized by the Rose Cross or Rosy Cross. But what is its influence on the creation of the United States of America? Joel is back with Part 4 of Rosicrucian American Order, and this time he unravels the secret of the first 007, occultist John Dee. He starts with Dee's time at Trinity College and the mind blowing, "Mystery of the Flying Scarab", which propelled him into the limelight as a known sorcerer. Then he looks at the different Rosicrucian associates that John Dee had while he was in service to the Queen of England, Elizabeth I, which shaped many of his esoteric writings. Lastly, Joel rounds things out with Ian Fleming and how James Bond was not only modelled after John Dee, but was a Rosicrucian hero for the unknowing masses.
