John Adams said that he hoped that every July 4th, Americans would revisit its first principles. Those principles are found in the Declaration of Independence and today we celebrate the 245th anniversary of its signing.

I sat down with author and progressive radio host, Thom Hartmann, to discuss those first principles, how our democracy is being threatened and the steps needed to save it…

Let this year's July 4th celebration be mindful rather than mindless. What should we celebrate, and what should we beware of?

For Pride month, Marianne chose to highlight the issues transgender people face. Too many Americans don't know someone who is trans…their journey, their experience, and the issues that they face. Very valuable insight comes from hearing their stories.

Meet two fantastic transgender women, plus a mother now dealing with a child who is currently transitioning.

Much to be aware of, and much to celebrate!

A giant in the fields of alternative medicine and spirituality, my friend of three decades, Deepak Chopra, joins me on today’s podcast.

We dive into the state of the world today, the miracle of human existence, and how aging has led us both to reevaluate the way we approach our lives.

After the interview I take listener questions.

The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas has caused deep questioning and soul-searching. I sat down with JStreet's Josh Lockman and Democracy for the Arab World Now's (DAWN) Raed Jarrar to discuss how peace can be accomplished, and how changes in US policy can contribute to fundamental change.

Lana Shehadeh was on a Ph.D research trip in the West Bank when fighting broke out a couple weeks ago. No one can inform us of what's going on in the Middle East like those who are actually living there. Lana was kind enough to take some time out of her day to share with me what life is like as a Palestinian-American mother living south of Ramallah.

With rates of depression and anxiety rising – perhaps skyrocketing during the pandemic – we’re all looking for a fix. But a quick fix doesn’t get to the root of the problem as author Johann Hari details in his book, “Lost Connections: Why You’re Depressed and How to Find Hope.”

Suffering from depression for most of his life, Hari set out to study why so many are struggling and what he came up with, his 9 causes of depression, is spot-on.

This is a topic that’s close to my heart – something I’ve spoken and written about for years and I couldn’t be happier to have this discussion with Johann. We talk about our struggles with depression, habits you can build to lessen the severity when the sadness strikes and how society and government contributes to people’s despair.

One of the pioneers of the human potential movement (how many people wrote a book that John Lennon described as “the best book I ever read”?), author and futurist Jean Houston joins me to discuss a much needed shift in the orientation of our inner as well as outer lives. She has extraordinary insight into what she calls the Future Human.
