    About Dating (with Robert Pruitt) - Part 2

    "It's hard to regret anything that's taught, shown, or revealed something to you - especially relationships." ~ Robert Pruitt. In our quest to seek out the new - before moving forward - Pruitt encourages us to seek clarity about what we've learned from the old. We talk re-engaging love, dating, and marriage after break-ups, separation, and divorce. If soul mates are real? The critical distinction between warning flags and deal breakers (where's your list?) And the importance of dating yourself first. Credits: Robert Pruitt (www.robertpruitt.com) Music: "Former Fiancé" - by Electric Cowbell (CSC Funk Band) Audio Editor: Alicia Barrett

    About Dating (with Robert Pruitt) - Part 1

    Data scientists believe the art of modern dating to be lost. We invite Robert Pruitt: life coach, author, and international motivational speaker, to guide us back to foundational principles of dating, and relationships. Are our beliefs sabotaging our success? Are we clear about the rules and messages upon which we live our lives, and how they drive our choices? Can healthy and unhealthy co-exist? Pruitt shares why our answers matter, and how they serve as a source of who and what shows up in our lives.

  5. The Power of Choice

    04/12/2018

    The Power of Choice

    Inspired by the Caroline Myss TEDx Talk 'Choices that can Change your Life' we discuss the principle and power of Choice. Mainly you'll hear about: - the energetic distinction between choice and decision - different types of choices and why they matter - how belief systems drive the direction of our choices - the essentialness of integrity - the necessity of personal development - shifting from victimization and fear into empowerment; and - why having a foundation to sustain our choices isn't really optional.   REFERENCES / CREDITS: Caroline Myss.

  6. The Missing Voices of 'Me Too': Including Men, LGBTQIA and Minorities in the Conversation

    The Missing Voices of 'Me Too': Including Men, LGBTQIA and Minorities in the Conversation

    Last year, 2018 was predicted to be the "Year of Woman". Countless women emerged from the shadows of silence, fear and shame into solidarity, to radicalize movements like Me Too and Times Up—which advocate against sexual violence and unequal treatment of women. Yet many voices remain missing from these conversations and movements. We discuss the absence of men, LGBTQIA community, minorities and the church, whose experiences of sexual violence and trauma remain silenced in the face of newfound solidarity.   REFERENCES / CREDITS: Experts: Males Also Are Victims of Sexual Assault.

  7. A Look Into Our Hurt (with Ruby Sales)

    A Look Into Our Hurt (with Ruby Sales)

    In her interview with Krista Tippett, civil rights icon Ruby Sales invites us to look into the collective consciousness of where we hurt. Sales "unsettles some of what we think we know about the force of religion in civil rights history, and names a "spiritual crisis of white America" as a calling of this time." We discuss how historical shame in the white community has designed attitudes of denial and minimization towards the minority experience–and how wounds cannot heal until they cease being touched.   REFERENCES / CREDITS: Where Does It Hurt? with Ruby Sales (Mp3 interview and Transcripts) – Krista Tippet Where Does it Hurt?: Overcoming the Pain of White Supremacy with Ruby Sales – The Roundtable Intercultural Development Continuum (IDC™) – IDC describes a set of knowledge/attitude/skill sets or orientations toward cultural difference and commonality that are arrayed along a continuum from the more monocultural mindsets of Denial and Polarization through the transitional orientation of Minimization to the intercultural or global mindsets of Acceptance and Adaptation.   Music: Burning by Tri-Tachyon Producer: Oleksandr Hedz   CONNECT: Website: The Query Podcast Facebook: The Query Podcast Email: thequerypodcast@gmail.com Rate us on iTunes Podcasts or PlayerFM   SUBSCRIBE TO THE QUERY PODCAST: The Query Podcast on iTunes The podcast app for Android that we recommend (Player FM) The Query Podcast on Player FM

  8. S******e countries and international legacies of racism

    S******e countries and international legacies of racism

    In our most difficult show to date, recorded on the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and days after more racist remarks from President Donald Trump color negotiations for the protection status of black and brown immigrants; we look beyond a moment into how the international legacy of systemic racism has set a precedent of deciding which human life is valued, entitled, and worthy. While exasperation aggravates Manaz's feelings of separation, Melinda hopes in those working to make our world better.   REFERENCES / CREDITS: Divided island: How Haiti and the DR became two worlds History of Haiti by Bob Corbett, August 1999 The Emergency by Ben Taub, The New Yorker   Music: Burning by Tri-Tachyon Producer: Oleksandr Hedz   CONNECT: Website: The Query Podcast Facebook: The Query Podcast Email: thequerypodcast@gmail.com Rate us on iTunes Podcasts or PlayerFM   SUBSCRIBE TO THE QUERY PODCAST: The Query Podcast on iTunes The podcast app for Android that we recommend (Player FM) The Query Podcast on Player FM
