This episode contains material that may be sensitive for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised. What would you do if you found out that a cause you had devoted a decade of your life to wasn't what you thought it was? What if you found yourself embroiled in a sinister cult that bound itself to your life? I'm joined by Sarah Edmondson (subject of the new HBO series The Vow) and tonight, we travel through her experience with the NXIVM cult. It’s a powerful episode that discusses how Sarah was manipulated and bound into a sex cult by sociopath Keith Raniere and his followers. We discuss the scars that were left in Sarah, literally from being branded and the emotional scars that she has begun to heal in her life. Strong and resilient, Sarah was the whistleblower who help put Keith Raniere under investigation, and ultimately, a prison cell currently serving 120 years. See how Sarah continues to find the sparks in herself and helps others to recognize and leave cult groups. All this and more, this week on The Spark with Stephanie James.

How often do you get to sit and talk with someone who is an expert in the areas of diversity, sustainability, climate change, and reform justice? This episode we get to dive in to all of these areas with Colorado State University professor of Education and author / co-author of over 19 books, Dr. Bill Timpson. Long interested in issues of sustainability, peace, and equity, these topics are reflected in Bill's scholarship. His research, in part supported by a National Kellogg Fellowship and a Fulbright Fellowship, has focused on these topics from a global perspective.

There is so much division in our world today. Our political climate, our earth's climate, and the climate between races and religions can seem at times they are in crisis. What if we could build a bridge and foster what Carol Smaldino calls The Human Climate: a term she refers to as encompassing culture, assumptions, rules, mood, and effectively resolve divisions related to social and global issues, and, our most intimate relationships. A psychotherapist for over thirty years, a contributor to the Huffington Post, and author of the current book, The Human Climate: Facing the Divisions Inside Us and Between Us, Carol connects the personal with the political, the past with the present, and the individual with the global giving us a road map to a place where we can create, connect, and cultivate a better world for all of us.

Free Trip to Egypt. This is what creator and producer Tarek Mounib offered to hundreds of Americans across the country. What resulted was an amazing journey into the unknown, and a film about the transformational power of human connection. This week, Tarek shares with us his remarkable experiment in kindness and empathy and the results of what happens when we get out of being fearful of what is different between us and drop into our hearts to find the commonalities, compassion, and connection we all share.Learn more about Free Trip to Egypt:https://www.freetriptoegypt.com/ (https://www.freetriptoegypt.com/)https://www.facebook.com/freetriptoegypt (https://www.facebook.com/freetriptoegypt)https://www.instagram.com/freetriptoegypt (https://www.instagram.com/freetriptoegypt)https://twitter.com/freetriptoegypt (https://twitter.com/freetriptoegypt)Music from https://filmmusic.io (https://filmmusic.io)"Acid Trumpet", "The Show Must Go By" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com (https://incompetech.com))License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/))Brought to you by The Spark Summit:https://www.thesparksummit2019.com (https://www.thesparksummit2019.com)Like the show?

In today's political race of mudslinging and defamation, it is hard to imagine any other way a candidate might campaign. We are used to seeing the slander and the lies and the "savior complex" many of these candidates exude. But what if there was a different way to win the race? What if the candidates' focus was actually to connect with their constituents and provide them with resources and service before the election?Futurist, former personal growth leader, and speech coach and writer for Apple, Sony, and HP, Harvey Stone has developed a database to help candidates do just that! His focus has been on collecting resources and creating three great breakthrough opportunities for reversing climate change, expanding sustainability, and depolarizing politics. In this episode we discuss his breakthrough ideas and how our candidates could actually run a campaign where they went back to being true public servants and actually create a better future for us all.Like the show?

“Relationships are difficult,” begins Dr. Stan Tatkin in his 2016 TED Talk. However, as you will see… they are not impossible; in fact, being in a relationship with another human being and becoming on expert on each other, is actually one of the most rewarding things in life.There is hope – whether you are needing the tools to tune up and repair some of the current ruptures in your relationship, or want to take a good relationship to great, Stan Tatkin helps show us the way through the shallows of dating, all the way through to the “I do” and how to navigate the deeper waters.Learning how to take care of ourselves through loving one another is a meaningful practice which brings about a new fulfillment, and richer life where the rewards are a revved up relationship that will thrive far into the future.Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT, is a clinician, teacher, and developer of A Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy® (PACT). He has a clinical practice in Calabasas, CA, where he has specialized for the last 15 years in working with couples and individuals who wish to be in relationships.
