Mystics: The Middle East & The Pursuit of Happiness-Chapter Two

Episode 102: From ‘Should’ to ‘Want’: Creating Your Own Holiday Season The holidays can easily become a season of autopilot — traditions we never question, expectations we silently carry, and routines that leave little room for what we actually want. In this episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore the power of setting clear intentions — and actually following through on them — especially during a time when the world around us pulls hard in every direction. Drawing on insights from psychology, behavioral science, and nervous system research, they unpack why intention-setting works better than goal-setting, how to break out of holiday “shoulds,” and what it takes to make choices that protect our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Through personal stories (including Ashley’s Thanksgiving unplugging), they offer practical tools to help listeners create a season — and a new year — that feels aligned and nourishing.

This week, host Chukundi Salisbury (filling in for Reverend Walden) sits down with his mentor, the influential Representative Dawn Mason, for a profound discussion on community leadership and activism. Rep. Mason, who recently received the "Key to the City," emphasizes that her civic honors represent the collective work of all those she supports. The episode focuses on the urgency of educational justice, with Mason detailing her work with the Rainier Valley Leadership Academy and her vision for ensuring every child is reading at grade level by third grade. A major highlight is the exciting news about a victory for Seattle's youth: the SPD's Mounted Patrol was disbanded, and its gear, including saddles, was transferred to the Buffalo Soldiers program at the Red Barn Ranch. This initiative, now partially funded for six years by the Family & Education Levy, offers constructive, culturally relevant programs to our children. Don't miss this inspiring conversation about holding leaders accountable and building a better future!

Today on Conscious Talk… There is so much going on in our world that strains our ability to stay loving or even calm. Let’s face it, we’re stressed. We’ll talk to transformational healer Dr. DiVanna VaDree about how to stay committed to love no matter the circumstances we find ourselves in.

We explore the “28° Sagittarius New Moon Searches Eternal Truth”. The 28°25’ Sagittarius New Moon cosmic energies peak on 19 December at 8:43 p.m. EST (Washington DC) and 4:43 p.m. UT (Greenwich, UK). This week we synthesize with the New Moon astrology, numerology, tarot, Jyotish Nakshatra, and Sabian Symbols—a mystical imagery set serving as a unique tool for personal exploration and astrological insight. This is a very thoughtful New Moon despite most all the planets now traveling direct except for a few still traveling in apparent retrograde motion. They are expansive Jupiter, the awakener Uranus, alchemist Chiron, and inclusive disrupter Eris. However, our thoughts rotate as Mercury, now totally out of its recent retrograde path, positions square to the Lunar Nodes. Often called the bendings, our focus turns to the south node in Virgo to figure what form of its archetype we personally need to release. Because Jupiter that rules this new moon makes efforts to adjust to what values really are at the core of understanding a renewed belief system that might include all of oneself as well as in recognition of others. A tall order unless we are willing to readjust our alliances with refocused values.

Mantz & Mitchell guest-host Matt Shea and producer Nathan Miller get into the holiday spirit for a special Christmas episode, guiding listeners through the "Whoville of the Pacific Northwest," highlighting must-see holiday light displays, like Tacoma's Zoo Lights and Woodland Park Zoo's Wild Lanterns, and other community events. They share personal stories from family traditions to neighborhood light displays, and celebrate the season's focus on family and giving.

In this episode of The Glen Gilbert Connection, host Glen Gilbert sits down with Jordan, a retired Marine Corps major and financial advisor, to address the silent struggle many men face: the financial fallout of a broken relationship. They discuss how the end of a partnership often breaks not just the heart but the bank, leading to a crisis of identity and the haunting question, "Who am I now?". Jordan warns against common post-breakup pitfalls, such as impulsive "revenge spending" on sports cars, and emphasizes the importance of avoiding financial decisions that undercut long-term wealth building while emotions are still raw. Moving beyond survival mode, the discussion outlines a roadmap for turning financial devastation into a legacy of strength. Jordan champions the concept of "strategic vision"—finding a purpose that guides every financial decision—and stresses the necessity of personal accountability over victimhood. From the value of building a trusted support network to lessons on perseverance drawn from The Count of Monte Cristo, this conversation offers a blueprint for men to reclaim their power, rebuild their portfolios, and restore their sense of self-worth.

DAMTT: Two-Legged Lamps, Jaws, and Choosing Wit After missing a week due to sickness, Stacy and Eric are together again! Stacy is knee-deep in prepping her house for sale, which is making her way less enthused to decorate her house, while per tradition, Eric’s place is decorated, save for the tree which will go up eventually. Naturally this leads to a rabbit hole about real versus fake trees and holiday smells. Speaking of smells, Stacy had a sensory shopping experience that was doggone awful! Eric has some recent wins with both his deck and solar panels finally being done, just in time for the rain. As for Cultural Blindspots, Stacy has been WAY too busy watching bad holidating movies to check anything off the list whereas Eric checked off every James Bond movie featuring Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. His take was the movies weren’t terribly smart, but they were very funny, a theme that ties perfectly into this episode’s topic of Smart vs. Funny. In the end Stacy and Eric agree that a smart person picks a funny one. DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as @dontaskme to talk or email [email protected] Next Time: Is Water Wet?

Your creative expression is the gateway to your happiness, and yet many of us make very little time to do activities that enhance our creativity. For me, it's always been writing. I started as a girl and found great joy writing fiction and eventually memoir. I've been teaching writers for 30 years now (I can hardly believe it!) Over time, I've watched people find their flow, build their resilience, bust out of poor and unproductive habits ... and it all stemmed from the joy of being creatively expressive with their writing. Some went on to publish their books and monetize their brands. I'd love to invite you to my upcoming writing class for all levels: How to Write Your Book beginning January 6, 2025 Here are a few details about the course: — We will focus on crafting your story — We will meet for 12 weeks beginning January 6th — There will be at least 9 face-to-face meetings with me and the members of the class. (90 mins) — There will be supplemental materials to view and one book and one movie to accompany the course. — We will focus on memoir, but I will also teach you how to weave in self-development sections as well as spiritual reflection sections. — you will receive a course syllabus approximately one month before we begin. This course works best for the person who: — Wants to begin or complete a book — Wants to attend weekly classes. — Is willing to share tiny excerpts of their writing with class members (But not until the second half of the course) — Is willing to write for an average of one hour a day or 5+ hours a week.

How Not to Die & A Reason for Optimism

Episode 101: “Why Time With Our Elders Matters” We say we “should” spend more time with our aging parents and elders — but life gets busy, visits get delayed, and loneliness quietly grows. In this episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore why time with seniors is far more than a nice gesture. It’s medicine: for their bodies and brains, for our own mental health, and for a culture that often sidelines older adults. Drawing on geriatric medicine, the psychology of aging, neuroscience, and social interaction research — plus wisdom from ancient traditions — they unpack how intergenerational connection protects against dementia, depression, and early mortality, while also deepening meaning, perspective, and resilience for younger generations. The episode closes with practical, doable ways to show up for the elders in your life — and what pitfalls to avoid so those interactions feel dignified, mutual, and genuinely life-giving.

We are thrilled to bring Jeff Evans back for some updates on this wonderful organization. Angels with Misplaced Wings is a home-based, non-profit sanctuary located in the Vancouver, Washington area. It was founded by Jeff Evans who was inspired by his childhood experience with animals.

This sanctuary focuses on caring for animals that are often overlooked due to their special needs or age, providing them with a safe and nurturing environment.

Planet Buzz’s episode "JUPITER SQUARE CHIRON Activation”. Globally questions emerge asking who belongs – what is the identity of a nation? Can we share our cultures and beliefs? Chiron’s story in mythology involves his mother’s rejection as an infant because he was half human and half horse. His father, Saturn, ignored him without acknowledgment. Totally abandoned, Apollo the Greek god of the Sun, light, music and prophecy adopted Chiron. Teaching Chiron the arts, science and the mysteries to overcome his beastly nature. Chiron’s primary wound of rejection became alchemized as a Master Healer who in turn taught gods, mortals and demigods. Our path of healing involves personal action. This aspect occurs about five hours before the Winter Solstice just prior to the Sun entering 0° Capricorn of authority and accountability.

Holiday Special for Thanksgiving

Staying Safe During the Holidays & A Murder Trial That Changed Legal History

Welcome back to The Glen Gilbert Connection, where we deliver relationship wisdom for the seasoned man and woman. In this special global episode, host Glen Gilbert is joined by three incredible Latina women from Brazil: Camila, Fern, and Viv. These successful women—two tech leaders and a visionary interior designer —are all in committed relationships and share their candid insights on attraction, connection, and what it really takes to build a relationship that lasts. This is essential listening for men looking to re-enter the dating world with confidence and for women who want to know the qualities that truly stand out in a partner. The panel offers a deep dive into the foundational pillars of lasting love, including respect, trust, and the feeling of absolute emotional safety in a partnership. They candidly define what it means to find "the complete love of my life" and discuss the critical learnings gained from past experiences, including navigating divorce and recognizing red flags with a "good baggage" of knowledge. Listen in for actionable advice on communication, particularly the need to address "micro-stresses" as they happen instead of letting a list of silent grudges build up. They also share the mature dating perspective—shifting focus from "does he like me?" to "is this what I want?" —and why healthy ambition and drive are the most attractive traits in a man.

Mantz and Mitchell visit with Josie Tropeano Varga, a citizen of two worlds who is comfortable in both.

This episode seems to mark the beginning of a busy season. Stacy went down a rabbit hole making decisions about what to get rid of (does it have value? Do the kids want it? Do I care?), she went to a show at The Showbox with Sir Mix-A-Lot and Macklemore along with a bunch of talented kids, saw “Now You See Me, Now You Don’t” and had all four kids come home for Thanksgiving! Eric shared a Gertie update, a story about the dermatologist and the latest on his various home projects. He also got a free turkey which reminds Stacy of the infamous WKRP Thanksgiving episode (worth looking up on YouTube). Eric replays part of the Cameo that Sir Mix-A-Lot did for Stacy before they start talking about their Cultural Blindspots of the week. For Eric, he continued with the Bond franchise watching the first one with Roger Moore, “Live and Let Die,” which may also be the best Bond song ever (sung by Paul McCartney and Wings. Eric goes into some of the ridiculous details (remember the guy from the 7Up ads and Jane Seymour?) but also admits it was a fun watch! Stacy doesn’t check off any blindspots this week but does talk about the infamous niche that is Hallmark-type Holiday rom coms. This naturally somehow leads to “Die Hard”, “A Christmas Story” and the leg lamp and “The Night Strangler” movie based in Seattle with the father from “A Christmas Story” playing Kolchak. Unsurprisingly there’s a tangent about the merch from some of these movies that have become iconic – who doesn’t want a leg lamp or moose eggnog glasses!?! As for the Weekly Topic, Stacy picks a classic Billy Joel song that tells a story, switches tempo and last over seven minutes long while Eric goes for his usual esoteric vibes and chooses a song called “Sea of Tranquility” from the Wild Swans albus, Spaceflower. He likes the repetitive bass line and hypnotic groove along with the over ten-minute length! Eric noted one big difference in the choices was the choice to engage versus disengage. Stacy suggests a John Mulhaney bit called, “The Salt & Pepper Diner” about the hilarious consequences of playing a song on repeat.
