Marianne Williamson's Interviews

Marianne Williamson's Interviews

People are ready to go deeper, be more truthful, and face challenges that confront us in more meaningful ways. We need to talk about causes and not just symptoms, face some inconvenient truths, and have more than prepackaged conversations among us. One question weaves through these interviews - how did we get to where we are, and how can we change things now? www.transformarticles.com

From deporting innocent citizens to criminalizing homelessness, America’s government today is breaking laws and normalizing cruelty. Tens of thousands of America’s unhoused population work part or even full time. Many have children. When homeless encampments are removed and people’s belongings trashed, how are those people to keep their jobs? How are the children to go to school? The level of trauma being inflicted on people is som...

Earlier today I posted a video about the shameless Congressional redistricting plan going on in Texas. I said I’d be back with my interview with Beto O’Rourke, so here it is! He’s filled with great information and I’m glad to share it.

No one need feel helpless in the face of Trump’s onslaught, because there’s a lot we can do. But We the People need to do it. Beto’s organization POWERED BY PEOPLE is doing exactly what needs to be do...

A lot of hope is riding on the 2026 midterm elections, not that any of us are naive about efforts the Trump administration will make (in fact, already is making!) to ensure Republicans keep control of both houses of Congress. A compliant Congress, after all, has been a primary vehicle for the passage of the Project 2025 agenda.

I’ll gladly interview Congressional candidates who offer hope for real change in Washington. Today’s conv...

A little change of pace today…

I did an interview you might enjoy. Relationships, sociopaths and spirituality are the topics covered in my conversation with author Arielle Ford about her latest book, “The Love Thief.”

The book is coming out this week, and if you find the interview compelling you can check it out at at www.thelovethief.com. It’s based on a true story and captures insights very relevant to the times in which we live.

The train derailment and subsequent environmental disaster on February 3rd in East Palestine, Ohio, is the embodiment of a greedy economic perspective and the damage it creates. The railroad industry, like so many others, produces billions of dollars in profit for its stockholders. Yet those profits are often at the expense of the safety, health and well-being of its workers and many others, as a greedy obsession with cutting costs...

In April of 2022, a young man named Christian Smalls led a powerful unionization drive at the Amazon warehouse in Staten Island, New York. An 8,000 person work force was working under conditions that Smalls, and others, found unfair and unsafe particularly during the COVID pandemic.

Amazon spent over $4M to deter Smalls’ unionization efforts, which he funded with $120,000 raised on a Go Fund Me page. Yet as everyone now knows, Small...

My father died in 1995, but for as long as he lived if you asked him after a presidential election “Who did you vote for, Daddy?” his response was always “Roosevelt.”

Obviously I grew up in a home that honored the former president, and my mother would go on and on about Eleanor as well. The late president’s wife was still alive when I was a little girl and I remember her profound influence on the country.

I was excited to have a ch...

“Get me out of here.” Five simple words religious scholar Diana Butler Bass heard repeatedly while sitting in a pew at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. But why? And who was whispering this to her? 

Jesus. And she writes about why in her latest book, Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence 

Diana and Marianne discuss what Jesus means to them individually and the importance of f...

The ascension of far right politics in this country didn't happen overnight - it was manufactured over decades. Marianne Williamson talks to author Nancy MacLean about her book “Democracy in Chains,” chronicling how proponents of property rights absolutism thought they could only succeed by putting “democracy in chains.”

When I was growing up, fair news reporting was not only appreciated; it was codified into law. A single company was not allowed to own a town’s TV station, radio station and newspaper, so much did we value diversification of opinion. There was a Fairness Doctrine that required balanced reporting. I remember when I was a child, my father explaining that the sales department in a newspaper building was on a different floor than the n...

According to journalist Andrew Cockburn in his latest book, The Spoils of War: Power, Profit and the American War Machine, our bloated $778 billion defense budget doesn’t necessarily provide for our safety. Cockburn, the Washington editor of Harper’s, has spent decades covering the Pentagon and defense industry and says money and power - not legitimate security concerns - is what drives our ballooning military budget.

One of America’s weaknesses is a tendency to move off a topic as soon as it becomes uncomfortable. We’re not known as a nation for deep reflection, often failing to learn the deeper lessons an experience affords and thus dooming ourselves to repeat it.

We’ve all heard a million times that we have “the most powerful military in the world.” We certainly have the largest. And the most expensive. But do we have the most powerful one, re...

Today’s post is Part 2 of the podcast. In Part 1 we discussed what has gone wrong with modern capitalism, and in Part 2 we seek answers as to what it will take to make it right.

Some say, “We need to get rid of capitalism entirely!” Some say, “We need conscious capitalism!” Some say, “We need socialism!” Some - myself among them - say genuine transformation will have less to do with the words we use and more to do with conceptualizi...
