Descripción del Episodio

The Trump administration rolled out what it calls the biggest economic offensive ever aimed at a country, naming 60 targets while warning others to cut ties with Iran or face U.S. sanctions of their own, though the toughest measures are still being held in reserve.
In the Gulf, the UAE has already cut all trade with Iran while other neighbors remain in a difficult position, and China continues to buy the bulk of Iranian oil even as it criticizes the new pressure campaign.
The Supreme Court handed President Trump a temporary win on his effort to restrict mail-in voting weeks before midterm ballots go out, though the legal fight is far from settled and voting by mail still remains an option for now.

Cuerpo y Consciencia con Susana Gamboa

Cuerpo y Consciencia con Susana Gamboa

By shows

Respira, Reconecta y Recuerda ay algo que no te han dicho… y probablemente no te va a gustar escucharlo: 👉 No estás tan bien como crees. Si no puedes dormir… si te irritas fácil… si necesitas ruido constante… si te sientes "exitoso", pero en el fondo no estás en paz… Este no es otro podcast de desarrollo personal. Es una confrontación contigo mismo. En este trailer, Susana Gamboa abre una conversación incómoda pero necesaria sobre lo que realmente está pasando dentro de ti: No es tu mente. 👉 Es tu sistema nervioso. Y mientras no lo entiendas… vas a seguir reaccionando igual, aunque creas que ya trabajaste en ti. Este espacio es para quienes están listos para dejar de sobrevivir… y empezar a sentirse vivos de verdad. Respira. Quédate. Este puede ser el inicio de algo distinto.
