    1:06 Thanking Patrons
    1:54 Content Warnings: Swearing (check your audience!); Mention of the supremacist cis hetero capitalist patriarchal empire we all live in a.k.a. the kyriarchy; the weirdness of “owning” small people as a white woman; Arts and Craft to make anatomically accurate dolls; play therapy to catalyze intimate partner violence and “drama” (a la real housewives?); Implicit and explicit systemic oppression of divergent people and Madness/Serious Mental Illness (Major Depression, BPD, SUD and ED, specifically); and mention of the movie’s cartoonish depictions of infanticide of babydolls in the first scenes.
    2:34 Co-host intro: Jenna, The Way Witch
    2:56 Grounding Prayer
    3:40 Elec-Ture
    6:08 The Human Being / Human Winner Masc(uline) Monomyth... so unsatisfying.
    11:52 Human Giver Syndrome and The Mad (wo)Man in the Beach
    21:52 Mad Kenough is not enough!
    28:09:00 The Umbra perpetuates itself: How Barbieworld won't let St Barbie be loving to Ken or acknowledge group effort
    35:09:00 Side Note: How much does RH hate being a mother, and some Surprise! DARVO bullshit at the end of the movie
    37:26:00 Thesis: Mad Ken is an avatar for the experience of women within patriarchy, but he is judged by the diegetic co-residents of Barbieworld and the Real World, and by the non-diegetic audience and critics, according to masc/ableist standards for behavior, and he is abandoned according to ECNC behaviors, required to heal himself without support, and told this is a triumph and exciting, in order to maintain Hollywood’s access to Mattel’s brand material.
    Audio quality note: I added the addendum about music and fantasy of retribution when I was scanning the audio at 1.5 speed, so I accidentally recorded my aside at 1.5 speed and didn't catch that it was then slowed down when I rendered the MP3. When I get my mental ducks in a row, I will re-record that and re-upload it.
    45:38:00 bonus critiques of white feminism
    54:20:00 Unplanned Extra Thesis: The power of Decoding - we are hungry for revolution and we will find in emergent revelations. Long Live Fan Fiction!
    1:05:03 Outro Credits

  • Under The Umbra Ep 13 - Heart-Centered Business
    Sep 29 2023
    In this episode, I talk with Mark Silver, M.Div. (he/him) about his new book Heart-Centered Business, which is released as a hardback on October 3, 2023. Audiobook and e-book formats are coming soon.  You can learn more about the book at Heart Centered Business Book dot com Sections: 0:00:00 Intro Credits0:01:07 Thanking Patrons and Supporters!0:01:49 Introduction Chat: My history with this guest!0:07:02 Introduction Chat: Heart-Centered Business book summary and Mark Silver's Bios0:11:18 Grounding Prayer and Invocation0:13:25 Quick Summary to catch Mark up with what this podcast is all about... into a very suave and subtle segue!0:15:47 Introduction to Mark's model of Toxic Business Culture: We want to heal from toxic business culture; so what is it, and how can we heal from it and create thriving business and cultivate a community of heart-centered businesses?0:20:47 American Capitalism and the values that fostered it became a default paradigm for belief and values; how do we notice that and then choose a different way? By Leaning In (instead of turning away or disavowing) the discomfort of the current paradigm, finding love even here, and then finding the core human interactions which can be performed wtih love and safety instead of self-focus and exploitation.0:26:58 When we have the urge to disavow or turn away from, or just hold your nose and push through to use, the exploitative or self-focused (empathy-challenged non-collaborative) Toxic Business Culture, how do we learn to stand strongly in what we do without replicating the self-aggrandizing status quo?0:37:23 One tool for finding the core of human interaction at the heart of business is to stay grounded in an invitation to find Divine Love in all interactions, to focus on creating safety and respecting sovereignity, a.k.a. appreciating people with warm empathy and engaging in collaboration.0:44:07 Exploration of terms, lest our brains explode from talking past each other: collaboration and coming to consensus, making agreements (which, in editing, within this podcast's content I might call Setting Boundaries)0:48:51 Last question: How to discern useful business coaching tools and programs from scammy, inexperienced exploitative systems that replicate the status quo for the enrichment of the person selling it to you (even if they have honest intentions)?0:57:53 Remember! You can exercise Power and Influence and support your author and creator folks by pre-ordering or buying their books on the day they drop! Learning about the back-stage levers that make things work might seem squicky at first, but then you realize what LEVERage you have to create influence in your life and in others!1:00:01 Outro Credits References: If Books Could Kill episode The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss on Apple Podcasts  and Spotify as they don’t seem to have a main webpage.
