    The Battle Rages On - The Fight for True Equality

    As long as I can remember, there has been a movement in our country and world to grant actual equal rights to women, and in more than just name. Most agree some headway has been made but it seems there remain "glass ceiling" barriers that are keeping the movement from crossing the finish line. The Exploracast team invites Rachel Childress to reflect on her experiences as a woman persistently standing for real equality in both the sacred and secular worlds, as well as some of the surprising and not so surprising places she has encountered resistance.

    On the Basis of Age

    Stealing from the famous Ruth Bader Ginsberg quote, we consider another way of discriminating against one another. This time it's about ageism and how easily we can slip into making negative and even pejorative assumptions about others based on how old or how young they are. We even talk about how easily we can also use the same negative thought processes against ourselves.
