    Tell Me Something Good, Mysteries in Music w/Dr. Fredara Hadley

    They told us we had limits…HBCUs taught us we were limitless.  In Part 2, Tell Me Somethin' Good, KC Sonshine sits down again with Dr. Fredara Hadley — ethnomusicologist, author, and cultural truth-teller — for a conversation that is equal parts brilliant, soulful, and necessary. We continue our discussion on the power and legacy of HBCUs, dive into Dr. Hadley's upcoming book I'll Make a World, and baby… since we had an ethnomusicologist in the house, we HAD to talk about the myths people still believe about Black music, who really shaped American culture, and why our stories keep getting rewritten. This isn't just music history. It's identity. Legacy. Survival. Excellence. And trust me… some of what you think you know? You don't.  #50ishAndFab #DrFredaraHadley #HBCU #BlackMusic #Ethnomusicology #BlackCulture #PodcastForWomen #MidlifeWomen #TellMeSomethinGood #BlackHistory #SoulMusic #WomenOver50 #MusicHistory #PodcastLife

    Introducing Alex O’Connor: #1 Shift That Stops Endless Overthinking (FINALLY Get Unstuck) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty What if certainty is what’s actually keeping you stuck? Today Jay sits down with philosopher and creator Alex O’Connor for a deeply thought-provoking conversation about consciousness, certainty, religion, and the questions that quietly shape the way we live. Alex opens up about growing up rebellious, struggling in school, and feeling disconnected from traditional systems before discovering philosophy and the search for truth. Together, they explore why so many people feel pressure to have life figured out too early, and why curiosity, self-awareness, and the willingness to question your beliefs may matter more than having all the answers. Jay and Alex unpack the mysteries of the human mind, the illusion of self, the limits of science, and humanity’s fear of death. Drawing from neuroscience, philosophy, and Eastern traditions, Alex challenges the idea that life can be fully explained through logic alone, while reflecting on how uncertainty can lead to deeper understanding rather than fear. This episode is an invitation to think beyond labels and rigid beliefs, and a reminder that some of life’s most meaningful discoveries begin when we stop pretending we’re certain about everything. In this episode you'll learn: How to Find What You’re Truly Good At How to Think Beyond Traditional Success How to Question Your Deepest Beliefs How to Balance Logic and Intuition How to Stop Living on Autopilot How to Become Comfortable With Uncertainty Your doubts don’t make you weak, they make you human. And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit you’re still learning, while continuing to search for truth, purpose, and peace along the way. If you’re ready to question everything you thought you knew about consciousness, religion, truth, and what it means to be human, Alex O’Connor’s Within Reason podcast is where philosophy becomes deeply personal.
