  The Capital S Story: Why Storytelling Matters in Business, PR & Marketing with Paul Furiga

  Aug 18, 202651 min

  What if marketing—something so many of us resist—isn't really about selling at all, but about helping people recognize themselves in a story that speaks to their hopes, to their fears, and to their longings? Today, we're talking about Story—story with a capital "S." Not simply storytelling as a communication skill, but Story as the invisible thread that shapes our identities, our relationships, our businesses, and the way we move through the world. We are #LiveInTheHive with Paul Furiga, founder of Capital S Story. For decades, Paul has helped leaders, organizations, and entrepreneurs discover that beneath every successful message is something far more profound: a story that reveals not only what we do, but why it matters. In this episode… Since the beginning of time, storytelling is encoded in the human experience. “The Storyteller” held a revered position in tribal society, entrusted with recording the experiences and lessons of life. What then is the relationship between Storytelling and Identity? What is the importance of telling an authentic story in business, both individually and organizationally? The word authentic gets thrown around a LOT. Paul weighs in with his experiential definition. How has marketing evolved, and what has the role of storytelling played in this evolution? What is the capital S story? And what fundamental questions does it answer? Archetypal stories. What are they and how can they be used to engage an audience? How do companies lose VS evolve their stories? How can we move from hiding behind a polished narrative into sharing a dynamic, real story? Paul shares some very unexpected FUN FACTS from his storytelling legacy. What is the ONE word – for YOU – that describes Leadership? Paul and I shares ours. So many stories! So much more...

  The Bones Remember: Pavini Moray on Ritual, Ancestry, and Remembering Who We Are.

  Aug 4, 202659 min

  Today, we are #LiveInTheHive with Dr Pavini Moray to explore the powerful intersections of embodiment, ancestry, ritual, and belonging. In a culture that teaches us to think our way through life, Pavini invites us to listen to something older, something wiser—the intelligence of the body. Their work bridges somatic psychology, trauma healing, consent, leadership, and ancestral practice, reminding us that healing isn't simply an individual journey. It ripples backward through our lineage and forward to those who will come after us. Their newest book, Tending the Bones , offers a thirteen-month journey through ritual, embodiment, and ancestral connection, asking not only how we heal ourselves, but how we become good ancestors. So today we'll explore questions like: What do our bodies remember that our minds have forgotten? Can ritual become a language of healing? And what does it mean to belong—not just to ourselves, but to generations past and generations yet to come? In this episode…. “My identities are shortcuts for other people.” Their former podcast, Bespoken Bones , is now on Magic Thread Media. https://bespoken-bones-podcast.captivate.fm/episodes Pavini shares the story behind the choice of the title, Tending The Bones , for their latest book? How do we remember who we are? The Body - What have we forgotten? The Ancestors -What have we inherited? The Ritual - How do we remember? The Future - What legacy are we creating? What is Somatic Psychology and how is it woven into their work? What is the relationship of Memory + Embodiment? How do memories live in the body? How does Pavini utilize ritual alongside ancestral work with their clients? Resource: Daniel Foors, PhD. https://ancestralmedicine.org/bio/ Is ritual another form of STORYTELLING? Resource: Wellbriaty - https://wellbrietymovement.com/ Does healing take place in isolation? Pavini shares a simple step towards conscious embodiment. Find Pavini HERE . LinkedIn . Dr. Pavini Moray is a somatic couples coach and Relational Life Therapy practitioner with a PhD in Somatic Psychology and 15+ years guiding couples through crisis, betrayal, and reconnection. They are the author of How to Hold Power (Penguin Random House) and Tending the Bones (North Atlantic Books). Rooted in the belief that our bodies hold profound wisdom, Pavini's work invites us to reconnect with ourselves, our lineages, and the possibility of collective healing. They are the host of Salty Sweet , a documentary-style podcast following real couples through the work of staying together.

  Compassion Levels You Up with Amy Quesenberry

  Jul 16, 202657 min

  What if compassion isn't soft at all, but one of the bravest choices we can make? What if the thing most missing from our workplaces, relationships, and communities isn't more productivity or better communication—but a deeper capacity to care? And what if true compassion sometimes asks us to set boundaries, speak difficult truths, and lead with courage rather than comfort? Today, we are #LiveInTheHive with Amy Quesenberry, organizational coach, best-selling author and the creator of Start With Compassion, her signature framework . Amy works with leaders and organizations to create cultures where people can thrive, bringing compassion out of the realm of theory and into the daily practice of leadership, accountability, and human connection. In a world that often celebrates speed, achievement, and constant doing, Amy invites us to consider a different starting point: compassion. But as we'll explore today, compassion is far more than being nice. It can be courageous, challenging, and even—dare I say—FEROCIOUS. In this episode, we explore… What compassion actually is – and – how do we find it? What do you do when you feel helpless in the presence of suffering? Whether your own or someone else’s, how can you move into action to address the suffering? Amy’s burnout story and how it led her to compassion. Amy’s top 3 method examples of her work with clients. “Shit rolls down the hill”. - Organizational change starts at the top. Her new book: It Starts with Compassion: Meaningful Change Begins Within. Transforming self-betrayal. What is the difference between compassionate leadership and leadership that seeks to avoid confrontation? What is your personal relationship with confrontation? All this + much more!

  White Indoctrination with Kimberly Palermo

  Jul 2, 202657 min

  White Indoctrination with Kimberly Palermo | July 2, 2026 Race is a HUMAN CONSTRUCT. Racism is REAL. And it's a whiter person problem. What truths are hiding in plain sight because we've been taught not to see them? Today we're diving into a conversation that asks us to look closely at the stories we've been taught about history, race, identity, and ourselves. We are #LIVEINTHEHIVE with Kimberly Palermo, author of Indoctri-NATION 365 , a book that challenges us to examine the ways we have been shaped by cultural narratives and omissions of historical facts - AND - to consider what it means to take responsibility for creating a more truthful future. In this episode we discuss… Kim’s childhood awakening to racism – a story most white people can relate to – the intuitive tug that all was not right or fair, but witnessing no one speaking out. At 17, Kim discovered Jane Elliot, the American diversity educator who debunks “the rightness of whiteness”, famous for her Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes experiment, created to teach students about discrimination and racial stereotyping. Denial + racism as identity. “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." – Lyndon B. Johnson Kim lays out examples of unexamined systemic racism ex: redlining, Jim Crow laws, Mass incarceration as modern enslavement, slave patrols as the origin story of our present day police force. What is the difference between indoctrination and education? The remembrance we’ve inherited a racist culture. Resource: www.Race@Dinner.com with Regina Jackson + Saira Rao Resource: Ote Benga – a Congolese human who became an attraction in the Bronx Zoo in 1906. The most powerful myth Americans have been taught about race. Kim shares the story of adopting a child from Ethopia. How to respond to the statement: “I don’t see color”. All this and so much more. Kimberly Palermo holds an undergraduate degree in Applied Behavioral Sciences from UC Davis, with a focus on multiculturalism, and a master’s degree in special education, with extensive training in group behavior and learning. Kim began her teaching career as an elementary school teacher in Compton Unified School District during the Rodney King civil unrest, where she witnessed firsthand how historical erasure, systemic inequality, and trauma shape communities, and how education can either reinforce myths or interrupt them. That experience profoundly shaped her approach to teaching truth with clarity, empathy, and accountability. For over twenty years, Kim has worked with people at the earliest stages of learning, including those who have received incomplete or oversimplified versions of history, helping guide them from uncertainty toward deeper understanding and personal responsibility. She is the author of Indoctri-NATION 365 which reflects Kim's lifelong work at the intersection of education, behavioral science, and history, designed not to shame readers, but to give them the tools they were never taught.

  Asherah, Anat, and The Recovery of Goddess Traditions with Trista Hendren

  Jun 16, 202658 min

  Asherah, Anat, and the Recovery of Goddess Traditions with Trista Hendren of Girl God Books | June 16, 2026 Who – and what – is The Goddess? "The Great Goddess Asherah, the sacred tree, Mother-Goddess of all of the gods..." — Miriam Robbins Dexter, Preface to Asherah: Roots of the Mother Tree We can all agree that we are living through a time of immense grief, polarization, and moral exhaustion. And beneath our political events we find deeper stories about power, sacredness, domination, and what we believe about human life. Today’s conversation explores one of those forgotten stories through the figure of Asherah and the recovery of goddess traditions. Today we are #LiveintheHIve with Trista Hendren, author, speaker, visionary founder of Girl God Books and ONE POWERFUL voice and leader in the dismantling of the patriarchal mindset and the remembrance and return to the wisdom and mystery of the Divine feminine, and to the ancient truth of kinship, reciprocity, and inter-being. I’ve had Trista on before for the episode What Will It Take to Know The Girl God – listen HERE for that episode. I wanted to have her back to speak about her anthology, Asherah: Roots of the Mother Tree , to expand on reclaiming the Goddess traditions, and share what is alive in her work today. We touch on… I met Trista at The Goddess Conference: The Crone (2023) in Glastonbury. The information got a bit lost in some technical glitches in our conversation. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI6PGa6n4Gg6l77LkruIJGXwpoT8LzQHi Spoiler alert: We talk about Dr Lynne Sedgemore and her upcoming book, "The Goddess Enneagram", endorsed by Trista, and to be published by ChangeMakers Books. Dr Lynne will be guesting in the fall. Whether a novice or a well-seasoned Goddess lover, this book, Asherah: Roots of the Mother Tree is for you, with academic research, creative writing, poetry and art. Trista shares who – and what – is the goddess, and how she discovered the goddess coming from a very devout Christian upbringing. Resource: author Burleigh Muten and her well-known book about the divine feminine, The Return of The Great Goddess. The story behind the creation of Girl God Books. Trista converted to Islam – the extraordinary story as to why? The power of art! Trista has a HUGE statue of the Venus of Willendorf on her property: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Willendorf Girl God Books has produced over 50 books and anthologies, primarily by female authors. Spirituality and politics? Trista weighs in on abortion, female sensuality and Female RAGE (and who is the Goddess Anat). Resources: Women Who Run with The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes and The Cosmic Mother by Monica Sjoo, Barbara Mor. Resource: Wizard Bisan | https://www.instagram.com/wizard_bisan1/?hl=en The call to The Mother from the Palestinians. The Goddess Anat: The primal rage of the Mother. An upcoming anthology on ANAT, stay tuned. I LOVE THIS! Trista asks: Before Patriarchy did we NEED warrior goddesses? Trista is a PRO-Palestine activist. Her family is in Lebanon. The failings of our news. In honor of Father’s Day, Trista weighs in on Sacred Masculinity. Resource: Upcoming Girl God Book on Healing Spells and Rituals : https://www.facebook.com/thegirlgod/ Perhaps Asherah's greatest gift is not simply that she was remembered, but that her roots remained alive beneath the surface all along waiting for us to remember that we, too, belong to the Mother Tree.
