Episode 104: “The Spice of Life - Designing a Year That Feels Alive” New Year's Eve often comes with pressure: resolutions, reinvention, and unrealistic expectations. But what if the new year wasn't about fixing yourself — and instead about cultivating excitement, curiosity, and aliveness? In this New Year's Eve episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore how to shape the coming year from a grounded, emotionally integrated place. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and timeless wisdom, they unpack how excitement fuels sustainable change — and why small, daily commitments can transform how we experience an entire year. As part of the episode, JDK and Ashley each commit (without telling each other in advance) to one daily practice they'll carry through all of 2026, inviting listeners to experiment alongside them.

New Year Holiday Experience

On this edition of Shmooze Radio (originally aired 12/23/09) Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky brings you his message on Parshat Vayechi.

Heather is a long time animal lover and veterinary assistant. She saw a need for a facility that would offer a safe space for dogs, or any pets, recovering from surgery and needing round the clock care—perhaps hourly medications, bandage changing, and other services in those first, critical 3-5 days after surgery-- that a pet parent might not be able to manage without some help. The Pet Recovery Center also works with reactive dogs. Some dogs are unable to stay in regular boarding facilities due to reactivity but Heather has a history of working with reactive pets and offers them a safe place to stay while their families are away. The Pet Recovery Center is located in the Spanaway/Pierce County area but will accept pets from all over the region. To learn more, visit www.petrecoverycenter.com

This episode of Mothers Justice Radio goes beyond headlines and soundbites. In a candid, wide-ranging conversation, Seattle City Councilmember Rob Saka joins the show to discuss public safety, police accountability, and the complex realities communities are navigating right now — from policy decisions at City Hall to the lived experiences of families most impacted by violence and the justice system. Rather than quick answers, this episode leans into nuance: how accountability, prevention, community trust, and governance intersect — and where the hard conversations still need to happen. If you care about where Seattle is headed, how decisions are being made, and what real accountability looks like beyond talking points, this is a conversation worth hearing in full.

Today on Conscious Talk… Heart Disease is the number one cause of death in this country. How do we deal with that? We'll talk to health expert Jim LaValle about what we need to know for a healthy heart. Website: www.Kyolic.com Facebook: @TheKyolife Instagram: @Kyolife

Christmas Holiday Experience

Join host Sue Rose Minahan and Australian astrology guest Melissa Elvira Billington for a potent fireside chat: "2026 Be Your Best Medicine."  2026 dynamically cascades with the outer planets re-entering their new cycle for years ahead. Signaling this incredible shift of consciousness takes off when Saturn and Neptune align at the beginning of the zodiac at zero Aries. In all actuality we haven't quite experienced this epic series of outer planets moving into new signs collectively. However, we always have a choice how to determine a renewed perspective that welcomes in encountering this energetic time. The archetypal energies focus on engaging with our identity to express ourselves and communicate our ideals, our visions, our beliefs, and connect with like-minded people. Essentially, we have the opportunity to create and manifest, accepting personal responsibility for our feelings that guide that direction. All in all we begin a venture learning the joy of being our best medicine!

In this episode of The Glen Gilbert Connection, we sit down with Joey Ventura, a man who has spent nearly 40 years in finance but argues that "emotional investments might just outperform your 401k". We dive into the unique challenges of dating after 60, from decoding the "ancient hieroglyphs" of emojis to navigating apps designed by 20-somethings. Joey opens up about his 35-year marriage, his return to the dating scene, and why holding onto his naivete and "Peter Pan" spirit has been essential for his happiness. He applies his professional expertise to relationships, explaining how to treat love like a portfolio by balancing "growth and income" to ensure long-term stability. Beyond the financial analogies, Joey shares profound wisdom on handling conflict and vulnerability. He details the "tennis match" strategy for diffusing arguments by refusing to return the "serve" of negativity, and discusses the fine line between being vulnerable and exposing a "chink in the armor" that can be used against you. We also explore the power of creativity as an emotional reset, why karaoke is the ultimate confidence builder for men, and why he advises his grandkids to find a partner who is "equally yoked" rather than just physically attractive.

The Loretta Brown Show - 12-25-25 - The Gift of Maybe by Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

Episode 103: “When Hope Helps — And When It Holds Us Back” It's Christmas Eve — a night filled with symbolism, expectation, longing, and hope. But what is “hope” in real human terms? And how do we hold hope without drifting into passivity, denial, or waiting for someone else to rescue us? In this episode, JDK and Ashley gently explore hope's emotional, spiritual, and psychological dimensions. They examine how hope can be a powerful motivator — and how, when misunderstood, it can keep us stuck, waiting, or disconnected from the present moment. Drawing on research from neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and meaning-based therapies, they reframe hope as an active, values-driven practice rather than a passive wish. With stories, reflection, and practical guidance, this Christmas Eve conversation invites listeners into a grounded, compassionate, and intentional way of bringing hope into each new day.

In this episode of Made of More, host Chris Erdman sits down with Chloe May Lamenzo, a former professional soccer player and co-founder of Golden Nova Agency, to discuss the intersection of personal growth and entrepreneurship. Chloe shares stories from her unique "hippie" upbringing and alternative education, explaining how she learned to separate her identity from her career and "reprogram" her mind to move from negative self-talk to an abundance mindset. The conversation dives into her strategies for business and connection, including her "sniper" approach to networking that focuses on observation and quality over quantity, as well as her passion for helping businesses achieve sustainability by adapting to rapid changes in technology and the economy. About the show: Made of More is a radio show / podcast that shares the powerful, personal stories behind the entrepreneurs of the greater Seattle area and beyond, individuals who have built meaningful businesses and experiences not just to better their own lives, but to positively impact their communities, families, and the world around them. This show isn't just about what they've built – it's also about who they are as people. We explore their journeys of inspiration, adversity, risk, and resilience. We dig into the pivotal moments, the challenges that shaped them, and the drive that pushed them to step outside the box and do something different. These are people who are made of more. And so are our listeners. Each episode is an invitation to connect more deeply; not only with the story, but with the mission behind each business. Whether it inspires you to chase a dream, break your own mold, or simply experience and support these ventures in a way that speaks to you, Made of More reminds us that greatness often begins with a story worth telling.

The holidays can often bring out feelings of nostalgia, some sweet and some more melancholy. We often reminisce about some of those who have left us, while still appreciating what we do have. Today Marilyn spoke about the wonderful pets she has had throughout her life and how each one brought something different to the table and co-created their own “story”. And how the dogs she has now are doing what they do best—being themselves, showing love, and bringing smiles. The main thought—each animal we bring into our lives will bring us something unique and special if we just give it time to develop and grow. Wishing all peace, joy and love this holiday season! MM Along with the podcasts you can also hear “Love Has Many Faces” on 1150 KKNW from 9 to 9:30 Pacific Time on Tuesday mornings—either on the air or on www.1150kknw.com

This week on Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team kicks things off with Bec's “In the News” segment, where one classic shoe staple officially takes a backseat. According to current fashion chatter, black pumps are now considered nearly unnoticeable, and the color quietly stepping into the spotlight this winter is white. From crisp bright white to soft ivory and ecru, the trend isn't about matching tonally, but about pairing lighter footwear with darker, more grounded ensembles for contrast that feels fresh and modern. From there, the conversation turns to real life dressing during one of the busiest weeks of the year. What are we actually wearing right now when days stretch from morning errands to cooking, hosting, traveling, and socializing. How to balance comfort with looking intentional, and why it's more than okay to opt out of over-styled expectations altogether. They also share their current wardrobe rotations, the hero pieces pulling extra weight this week, the shoes they're living in, and the go-to formulas that make getting dressed easier when time and energy are in short supply. It's a refreshingly honest look at style that works with your life, not against it. It's a practical, honest conversation about seasonal style that works hard, feels good, and still looks pulled together, no costume changes required.

On this episode of Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team turns its attention from getting dressed to setting the scene. Bec kicks off the episode with an “In the News” segment that feels perfectly timed, spotlighting one of the biggest holiday decorating trends of the season: the return of the “Ralph Lauren Christmas.” Think cozy, traditional luxury with rich textures like velvet and wool, classic tartans, deep heritage colors, warm metals, and natural elements that feel collected rather than overdone. Best of all, it's a look that can be recreated without a luxury budget. Inspired by this trend, the conversation moves into low-effort, high-impact ways to style your home for the holidays. From greenery placed with intention to simplifying surfaces, layering in texture with throws and pillows, choosing one signature seasonal scent, and letting lighting and candles do the heavy lifting, the team shares approachable ideas that make a home feel warm and welcoming without turning it into a winter wonderland. They also dive into easy upgrades for hosting, including table linens that elevate space instantly, modern neutral holiday palettes that stand the test of time, and a rapid-fire round of five-minute refreshes to pull everything together just before guests arrive. It's a practical, stylish guide to holiday home styling that proves you don't need more décor, just better decisions.

On this episode of Wisdom From The Wardrobe, Bec delivers the “In the News” with a story that proves fashion doesn't always take itself too seriously. Enter the unexpected collaboration between BEIS and Chipotle: an eleven-piece luggage and accessories collection designed, apparently, to transport Chipotle to any destination effortlessly and chicly. From a napkin sling to a burrito-inspired crossbody and a full duffle bag, the team breaks down the buzz, the branding, and the growing appetite for playful fashion collaborations. From there, the conversation shifts to one of the most requested topics of the season: dressing for holiday gatherings. The stylists unpack what to wear for everything from ugly sweater invites and neighborhood get-togethers to office parties and more polished celebrations. Comfort is key, especially when non-breathable fabrics and long evenings are involved, but style doesn't have to be sacrificed. The team shares what they're seeing in stores right now, including plenty of sequins, cashmere, and velvet in every form. It's a practical, timely guide to navigating holiday dressing with confidence, comfort, and just the right amount of festive flair.

This episode of Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team opens with Bec's “In the News” segment, spotlighting Burberry's latest marketing campaign, and its refreshingly relatable message: luxury lives in every moment. Featuring iconic British stars like Olivia Colman stepping into very ordinary roles, including working behind the counter at a classic fish and chips shop, the campaign reminds us that beautiful things are meant to be worn, used, and enjoyed, not saved for someday. Inspired by that philosophy, the conversation turns to stylish and thoughtful holiday gift ideas that strike the perfect balance between indulgence and practicality. From cozy indoor footwear and elegant gloves to sumptuous cashmere and chic travel accessories from Longchamp, the team shares pieces that feel special without feeling precious. These are gifts designed to elevate everyday life and actually get used. As always, the episode blends style insight with real-world wearability, offering a timely reminder that great style isn't about waiting for the right moment, it's about making the moment right.

On this edition of Shmooze Radio (originally aired 12/23/09) Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky brings you his message on Parshat Vayigash.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Mothers Justice Show, guest host Chukundi Salisbury Sr. sits down in studio with his brother, journalist and media founder Omari “Big O” Salisbury, for a wide-ranging conversation that moves seamlessly between legacy, accountability, and the urgent need for truth in public storytelling. The discussion traces the launch of The Big O Show and its place within the Converge Media ecosystem—but quickly turns to the unresolved trauma of the 2020 Seattle protests and the devastating case of Antonio Mays Jr., the 16-year-old who was killed in the CHOP. Omari recounts, in detail, his recent court testimony and the shocking revelation that he unknowingly captured Antonio on video days before his death—footage that challenges the City of Seattle's long-standing narrative and raises profound questions about justice, memory, and whose voices are allowed to be heard. This episode is not performative, and it is not sanitized. It is a raw, principled conversation about grief, integrity, media responsibility, and what it means to stand on truth even when it comes at a cost. Grounded in family, community, and lived experience, this is an essential listen for anyone who wants to understand the real human stakes behind headlines, protests, and policy. Listen in full to hear the stories that were nearly erased—and why telling them still matters.

We'll use cutting-edge Vibrational Astrology (VA) techniques to unravel the messages of the Winter Solstice. This deep journey will reveal the predominant behavior patterns shaping our collective consciousness from December 21st through the New Year of 2026 and the subsequent three months. What is the Solstice? SOLSTICE literally means the ‘SUN STOPS.' The Winter Solstice occurs on December 21st at 3:04 p.m. GMT (or 10:04 a.m. EST & 7:04 a.m. PST). This is the precise moment the Sun reaches the Tropic of Capricorn below the equator, marking its entry at zero-degree (0°) Capricorn. In the Northern Hemisphere, this moment signifies the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The Seed Chart: The Solstice chart is a powerful seed chart, unveiling profound themes that will resonate throughout the entire winter season. Since antiquity, the Solstice has been a profoundly spiritual connection to the Sun, Moon, and all of nature's cycles. Through the unique lens of Vibrational Astrology, we will explore the intricate core patterns that shape our collective journey during this season—a time of deep gratitude for the light's return.

Mystics: The Middle East & The Pursuit of Happiness-Chapter Two

Episode 102: From ‘Should' to ‘Want': Creating Your Own Holiday Season The holidays can easily become a season of autopilot — traditions we never question, expectations we silently carry, and routines that leave little room for what we actually want. In this episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore the power of setting clear intentions — and actually following through on them — especially during a time when the world around us pulls hard in every direction. Drawing on insights from psychology, behavioral science, and nervous system research, they unpack why intention-setting works better than goal-setting, how to break out of holiday “shoulds,” and what it takes to make choices that protect our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Through personal stories (including Ashley's Thanksgiving unplugging), they offer practical tools to help listeners create a season — and a new year — that feels aligned and nourishing.

This week, host Chukundi Salisbury (filling in for Reverend Walden) sits down with his mentor, the influential Representative Dawn Mason, for a profound discussion on community leadership and activism. Rep. Mason, who recently received the "Key to the City," emphasizes that her civic honors represent the collective work of all those she supports. The episode focuses on the urgency of educational justice, with Mason detailing her work with the Rainier Valley Leadership Academy and her vision for ensuring every child is reading at grade level by third grade. A major highlight is the exciting news about a victory for Seattle's youth: the SPD's Mounted Patrol was disbanded, and its gear, including saddles, was transferred to the Buffalo Soldiers program at the Red Barn Ranch. This initiative, now partially funded for six years by the Family & Education Levy, offers constructive, culturally relevant programs to our children. Don't miss this inspiring conversation about holding leaders accountable and building a better future!

Today on Conscious Talk… There is so much going on in our world that strains our ability to stay loving or even calm. Let's face it, we're stressed. We'll talk to transformational healer Dr. DiVanna VaDree about how to stay committed to love no matter the circumstances we find ourselves in.

We explore the “28° Sagittarius New Moon Searches Eternal Truth”. The 28°25' Sagittarius New Moon cosmic energies peak on 19 December at 8:43 p.m. EST (Washington DC) and 4:43 p.m. UT (Greenwich, UK). This week we synthesize with the New Moon astrology, numerology, tarot, Jyotish Nakshatra, and Sabian Symbols—a mystical imagery set serving as a unique tool for personal exploration and astrological insight. This is a very thoughtful New Moon despite most all the planets now traveling direct except for a few still traveling in apparent retrograde motion. They are expansive Jupiter, the awakener Uranus, alchemist Chiron, and inclusive disrupter Eris. However, our thoughts rotate as Mercury, now totally out of its recent retrograde path, positions square to the Lunar Nodes. Often called the bendings, our focus turns to the south node in Virgo to figure what form of its archetype we personally need to release. Because Jupiter that rules this new moon makes efforts to adjust to what values really are at the core of understanding a renewed belief system that might include all of oneself as well as in recognition of others. A tall order unless we are willing to readjust our alliances with refocused values.

Mantz & Mitchell guest-host Matt Shea and producer Nathan Miller get into the holiday spirit for a special Christmas episode, guiding listeners through the "Whoville of the Pacific Northwest," highlighting must-see holiday light displays, like Tacoma's Zoo Lights and Woodland Park Zoo's Wild Lanterns, and other community events.

In this episode of The Glen Gilbert Connection, host Glen Gilbert sits down with Jordan, a retired Marine Corps major and financial advisor, to address the silent struggle many men face: the financial fallout of a broken relationship. They discuss how the end of a partnership often breaks not just the heart but the bank, leading to a crisis of identity and the haunting question, "Who am I now?". Jordan warns against common post-breakup pitfalls, such as impulsive "revenge spending" on sports cars, and emphasizes the importance of avoiding financial decisions that undercut long-term wealth building while emotions are still raw. Moving beyond survival mode, the discussion outlines a roadmap for turning financial devastation into a legacy of strength. Jordan champions the concept of "strategic vision"—finding a purpose that guides every financial decision—and stresses the necessity of personal accountability over victimhood. From the value of building a trusted support network to lessons on perseverance drawn from The Count of Monte Cristo, this conversation offers a blueprint for men to reclaim their power, rebuild their portfolios, and restore their sense of self-worth.

DAMTT: Two-Legged Lamps, Jaws, and Choosing Wit After missing a week due to sickness, Stacy and Eric are together again! Stacy is knee-deep in prepping her house for sale, which is making her way less enthused to decorate her house, while per tradition, Eric's place is decorated, save for the tree which will go up eventually. Naturally this leads to a rabbit hole about real versus fake trees and holiday smells. Speaking of smells, Stacy had a sensory shopping experience that was doggone awful! Eric has some recent wins with both his deck and solar panels finally being done, just in time for the rain. As for Cultural Blindspots, Stacy has been WAY too busy watching bad holidating movies to check anything off the list whereas Eric checked off every James Bond movie featuring Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. His take was the movies weren't terribly smart, but they were very funny, a theme that ties perfectly into this episode's topic of Smart vs. Funny. In the end Stacy and Eric agree that a smart person picks a funny one. DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as @dontaskme to talk or email asking@dontaskmetotalk.com Next Time: Is Water Wet?
