Recorded Conversations

Cory Kingstrom joins the conversation. Today's topic indulges the question, “How do you fight right? Cory and Danielle discuss what they've learned from Dr. Julie Schwarz Gottman and Dr. John Gottman's new book, “Fight Right: How Successful Couples Turn Conflict into Connection.” Danielle received this book as a complimentary gift from Harmony Books. Thank you for the gift! The conversation indulges what our takeaway is from understanding conflict under a new lens, the lens of connection. We discuss conflict styles and Cory and Danielle do not see eye-to-eye on which type of conflict style fits best. The conversation then turns toward Internet Authentication. Should the government verify all social media and internet users or should people be afforded the cloak of anonymity? The conversation then morphs into a discussion on Red Pill agendas and why Andrew Tate and his ilk are dangerous to discourse. From there, we briefly delve into “What is stoicism?” And finally, we delve into the infidelity conversation and discuss how abandonment issues can create conflicts in relationships. This episode is filled with so much substance, nuance, and two individual perspectives compassionately considering one another in an authentic, connected dialogue.

Episode 119 is a monologue. Today, Danielle shares her thoughts about TRP- The Red Pill Ideology-that is infecting society.  This monologue includes portions of a study conducted by Matteo Bottoa and Lucas Gottzén. The study is called: Swallowing and spitting out the red pill: young men, vulnerability, and radicalization pathways in the manosphere.  Topics include: Emotional exploitation and the currency that costing you your dignity. Manosphere groups and Red Pill content exploit the emotional experiences of their audience for profit while leaving men perpetually stuck in depression, isolation, while encouraging growing feelings of resentment and hatred of women.  Please enter the listening stratosphere with an open heart, and open mind, and open ears. Thank you for compassionately considering the perspective of Danielle Kingstrom   The study discussed within this episode can be found here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09589236.2023.2260318   Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DKingstrom Or TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellekingstrom1?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc and on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZL46lm9Fbqah_deQyyGAcw    

Dovid Feldman joins the conversation. He is a licensed marriage therapist Today's topic indulges the question, “How do you rebuild or strengthen your marriage?” Dovid Shares the 5 foundations for a great marriage. These are: Gratitude, Listening, Communication, Boundaries, and Sexuality. The conversation indulges the spike in sexlessness in marriages and long term relationships. Dovid offers some great ideas that can help you cultivate a structure to maintain erotic enthusiasm and ensures needs are being met. He notes that the plan to “just have sex when you feel like” is the reason sexuality is the foundational focus in his course. If you wait for when you “feel” like it, how long are you waiting? The conversation then turns to how to implement and differentiate desire and intimacy in the marriage. He speaks of the Jewish idea of implementing a degree of abstinence to help keep desire alive. When discussing boundaries, Dovid notes the importance of understanding how only how to set the boundaries, but how to receive them as well. And reminds us that boundaries are designed to separate us while also bringing us closer. It's a paradox we must manage. This episode is filled with so much substance, nuance, and two individual perspectives compassionately considering one another in an authentic, connected dialogue.

Daniel Raz joins the conversation. He is a health and fitness coach that helps men go from 300 lbs. to 200 lbs. without going to the gym. Today's topic indulges the question, “How do you shift your mindset so that you can elevate your health?” Dan discusses how his plan is about sustainability, not just about dropping a few pounds but about implementing a new lifestyle so that you can develop a new relationship with your body and the food you eat. Do you need to go to a gym to get results that make you feel better? Dan says no, there are simple things you can implement into your day-to-day life that show results. He realized during the pandemic shutdown how many people were suffering and so he created a new approach to health and fitness that starts with home. Change starts at home, with yourself. Coaches and fitness trainers are helpful to our society because at times, we need help in taking the next step. When someone is there to support you in your accountability for your health, you are more likely to succeed with your health and body goals. What holds people back from implementing changes to their health and body? Our habits and our own internal shame can be an impetus that blocks our belief in ourselves to make changes. Change is scary, even when it comes to changing the food you eat and the way you move your body. Dan recognizes that when you go to the extremes of change, you're more likely to back away and stop. His regiment includes tiptoeing into change so that one can be practical without taking too much time out of their day. Often, a new goal to lose weight or get in shape includes making extreme changes that interrupt your daily life, and that's because we typically go headfirst into the deep end of health and wellness. A simple step to implement change starts with a water bottle. Keep water available and close to you to make it easy to do the right thing. Dan's philosophy is founded on making things simple so it's easy to make smarter choices. This episode is filled with so much substance, nuance, and two individual perspectives compassionately considering one another in an authentic, connected dialogue.

Lastadolphin joins the conversation. (Today's guest wishes to remain anonymous and will be referred to by his Twitter (X) handle.) However, if you are seeking motivation, I highly encourage you to follow him. Today's topic indulges the question, “How do you shift your mindset so that you can elevate your marriage?” Caution: this episode contains sexual topics. Why do we get stuck in our emotions? We indulge that question with curious uncertainty and confusion. Expression of emotions are cathartic, it feels good to express our feelings, but what do we do with those feelings? And aren't men supposed to be problem solvers? Without the language to express one's emotions, many stay focused on expressing the one emotion they know how to express, which is often anger. Are men socialized to avoid emotions? We discuss that possibility. How does a man navigate his primitive sexual desires and learn how to redirect sexual energy. How to turn away from porn dependency by discovering what's underneath. Remember, porn is a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself. Many porn dependencies stem from uncertainty and insecurity about sexuality or stem from a stunted growth. Lasta explains… This episode is filled with so much substance, nuance, and two individual perspectives compassionately considering one another in an authentic, connected dialogue. Mentioned in this podcast: Island of the World by Michael O'Brien, masculinity, masculine emotional awareness, Mark Queppet, emotional maturity, conflict resolution.

Sheepdog (formerly WoundedSheepdog) joins the conversation. (Today's guest wishes to remain anonymous and will be referred to by his Twitter (X) handle.) My guest has been in a relationship for over 20 years, is a father, and has a lot of unique experiences to share with those who may be struggling in a sexless or sexually declining relationship. His tweets are inspirational, insightful, and accountable. So, if you are seeking motivation, I highly encourage you to follow him. Today's topic indulges the question, “How to encourage conscious relationships without endorsing the gender war.” Caution: this episode contains sexual topics. Sheepdog has been through an inspiring transformation and shares his background story and journey from emotionally retarded to emotionally intelligent. We discuss why the Red Pill Agenda is a harmful mindset that encourages men to see women as objects, not people. We also discuss why porn can be degrading to our beliefs about sex and intimacy and how porn can negatively impact our expectations. We then talk about how we learned there was so much more to sex than the basic flat concept floated around by social, cultural, and media narratives. Also, chatter about why taking the O out of the sex session can lead to better sex and connection. While being goal-oriented is an attribute to the boardroom, it isn't an attribute to the bedroom. Emotionally connected sex is THE BEST sex you can have, bar-none. Romance is important, rituals are important. It does not mean you are a “simp” or a “cuck” if you like to appreciate your lady or receive affection from your lady. Love isn't logical, nor does love aim to fit the mold of the Red Pill Agenda. We discuss the importance of touch, which is EVERY SINGLE PERSON'S LOVE LANGUAGE. Danielle talks about why it's important to see your spouse as a human being and not just some label or category or affiliation. We need to see each other as equal in value and worth. We must remember we are on the same team. Danielle expounds on an idea mentioned by Sheepdog in one instance regarding ego and speaks to why we sometimes straddle ego and authentic self in the bedroom, why we need a story line (mental arousal) while we are in present moment with the touchable, physical NOW. Sheepdog then highlights the trends of relationship orientations, such as “Trad-Con” relationships, in which the demands and expectations for this type of relationship demean and objectify women. How the Red Pill movement is really just an Agenda of Agent Smith. Must the man lead? And if he's unconscious, CAN he lead? What does it require for a man to lead? Sheepdog says patience! Then we take a dive into the controversial topic of infidelity and forgiveness. How do you take accountability for infidelity? What happens on Discovery Day (D-Day, as Sheepdog calls it)? How do you rebuild trust? Can you love again after an affair? Toward the end of the conversation, we share our learning and teaching experiences in the realm of parenting and specifically, how to talk to your children about sexuality and intimacy and how to encourage their curiosity. This episode is filled with so much substance, nuance, and two individual perspectives compassionately considering one another in an authentic, connected dialogue. Mentioned in this podcast: Zuby, Andrew Tate, Fresh and Fit Podcast, Red Pill Movement, Wife Worship, TradCon, Biblical Marriage, Obligatory sex, Chump Lady, Adam Lane Smith, She Comes First by Ian Kerner, LastaDolphin.

In this episode, Zach Watson joins the conversation. Zach is a creator and teacher. He helps men realize how they are contributing to mental loads with their wives. Zach and I met via TikTok and while we disagreed with each other's views, Zach saw something worth pursuing in conversation and understanding. This discussion today is really about exchanging views and learning to understand where the other is coming from, despite our agreeability to the views. I found this to be a really interesting conversation about two different philosophies that ultimately can help strengthen relationships and bring people closer in marriage. For those who have open minds and open hearts, this conversation will invite you to think for yourself about roles, responsibilities, and relationship conflict-resolution plans. Zach offers his unique male perspective while I share my perspective. Notice how neither one of us tells the other they are wrong about how we see the world? I was honored to share space with Zach Watson.

If you are stuck in the Matrix and scrambling to find a way out, this conversation is for you. We talk about sound healing and how music can impact your energy levels. We also discuss eroticism, connection to physicality, divinity, and reality. Three shares some intriguing ideas on how we can better sexually educate ourselves so that we aren't dependent on gratification and stimulation of sex but can fold the layers of arousal into all dimensions of life. This was truly a phenomenally connected and engaging conversation that you will love as much as I loved participating.

In this episode, Danielle Monologues.  Civil disobedience looms, but who orchestrated the civilian chaos? Who do we trust? Who do we blame? Who do we point our fingers at? How does 2022 American politics compare to life with Jesus 2,000 years ago? Are we always willing to sacrifice freedom for security? How well does that turn out for us?

Danielle discusses how the Democrat narrative is insistent on suggesting that “abortion is normal” and “abortion is love.” Elizabeth Warren is a featured fuqtard. And this just-it, the word “torture” has been updated. War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil. Let's visit Isaiah 5:20. Let's take a deep dive into the dystopian work of George Orwell and the classic, 1984. How is 1984 like 2022? What is reality? It's what the Party says it is. Only the Party has the absolute Truth. Are you being seduced into embracing that the only reality that matters is the subjective reality? Deny what you see with your eyes and reject what you hear with your ears. Wait for the broadcast to tell you what to believe. Do not think. Do not think! Making a mistake is a sign of weakness. The Party is not weak.

Addressing the departure from the book I was writing with author Matthew Distefano.  Why blocking people and acting like they don't exist isn't healthy.  Why I can appreciate my previous experiences rather than hate on them.

In this episode, Jack Coleman joins the conversation. Jack is a Mindset Mentor for Holistic Awareness and Balance. His passion is backed by the desire to help “demystify” philosophies, concepts, and principles we believe are unattainable, unfathomable, and even unrelatable. We discuss how we are all God, how to find God- in people, places, and things, and also how to receive the truth that makes us feel uncomfortable. Jack breaks down why questions can trigger an emotional and reactive response from us, considering that when we are triggered by questions, it is because we are hiding a lie or protecting a truth. We also delve into the discussion of psychedelics and how plant medicines can benefit many individuals.

Suzanne DeWitt Hall joins today’s conversation.  Suzanne is a writer who’s authored many books, three of which we discuss today: Theology of Desire, Sex with God, and Sleeper, Awake.  Suzanne shares her story of religious unlearning by way of devotional deconstruction. Her books are delectable snacks for the individual who finds themselves smack in the middle of religious deconstruction and unsure of which questions to ask or why.  We discuss how encouraging her devotionals are for those who are also going through an erotic transformation, questioning their sexual identity, orientation, and how one relates and reflects the sexual attribute from God.  We tackle issues surrounding purity culture and the toxic programs, she shares a reimagined depiction of Jesus as "sexy and flirtatious," and we talk about the steamiest scenes in the Bible that highlight the nature of God.  When asked how one can discern their desires, she advises that we learn to check "ourselves when we're turning someone else into a thing that satisfies us, rather than a person who is worthy of connection, respect, and love."  A healthy desire is one that brings wholeness, not only to the one who desires but the one who is desired, especially physically, intimately, sexually.  Suzanne touches on two ideas that are not regularly discussed when considering consent: Sometimes, we say "yes" but we don't really mean "yes." and the privilege of being able to say "no."   To connect with Suzanne DeWitt Hall, and learn more about her work and purchase her books, check the links before.  https://wheretrueloveis.com https://rumplepimple.com https://sdewitthall.com https://www.amazon.com/Sleeper-Awake-companionship-deconstruction-Devotionals/dp/1734742739/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=suzanne+dewitt+hall&qid=1616451156&sr=8-1    

Today, Pornstar Pastor joins the conversation. PP is not your typical pastor in that he supports sex workers and he encourages ethical porn use. This conversation unfolds so many wonderful and delightful yet deep and controversial topics. We discuss Christian nationalism, comparison of sins, church scandals, Christian sexual ethics, purity prescriptions, a call for patience for progress, minding our extremist blind spots, realizing our theology isn’t that old, why we can be so easily stripped of salvation by dualistic dogma, and why faith has been co-opted. Especially riveting is the way Pornstar Pastor revisions the biblical passage of Jesus before Pontius Pilate while delving into the politics of Jesus. PP’s profound request is necessary: “Let’s not hold salvation over one another’s heads. Let’s not hold faith over one another’s heads.” Concluding thoughts leave many unanswered questions, join the reflection: What are the Christian approach to porn, sex work, and Only fans use?

Today, Cory Kingstrom joins the conversation again. After a 6-month absence, Cory and Danielle reunite in front of the microphone. Careful folks, this episode is expressive in nature- we are going to discuss s-e-x.  Before that, are you the search engine for your children? Freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom to not express or not exercise, what happens when it is no longer a socially acceptable norm to protest? Then we discuss Pastor Clark and his recent sermon gaff, purity preaching, social fears about eroticism. We also dip into the waters of Dr. Seuss, Danielle's 24-hour Facebook ban, censorship, creativity, anger and fear cycles, ignorance and social bubbles, and more.  **Not recommended for children or the highly sensitive.**

He divulges a bit about his own personal political views, entertains ideas about moving forward, and shares his pragmatic optimism for the future of not only Olivia, MN, but the nation.  Please compassionately consider the perspective of Landon Padrnos.

Today, David Hoffman joins the conversation. David has created quite a stirring within the community recently because of a sign he chose to display on his own property. The sign reads "FUCK Biden" and many community members are upset because of the profane nature of the position. While many people support the freedom of speech, others insist that comes with the responsibility of decency and civility. How do we define "decency" and "civility" is a question I aim to answer in the conclusion of this series. Today, David shares his story about what he believes in, why he chose to display the flag and how we can be a more inclusive community. Please compassionately consider the perspective of David Hoffman.

Is it political? Is it personal? Is it necessary?When you have the right to do something, is there something greater than exercising that right?What does the Freedom of Speech protect you from?How should communities operate and address controversial issues that hover around Constitutionally protected rights. Must we proclaim what we believe or is it enough to know within?Please consider the perspective of Dan Coughlin. Enjoy the episode. Be sure to subscribe if you enjoy the podcast, and share it on social media with your friends. 

This is very near and dear to my heart because it focuses on the controversy within the community I live in and reveals steps on how to reconcile differences. My hope is that this series will encourage us to be more open-minded about getting to know the neighbors we are called to love. The story focuses on a controversial yet Constitutionally protected matter, freedom of speech. It’s not every day that the national headline stories are taking place in your own back yard. Much of what is discussed echoes collective fears about the erosion of rights.If you are interested in joining the discussion, please contact me directly so that we can set up a date to record. It's very important that all perspectives are considered compassionately. I hope to bring you as many views as possible surrounding this topic.*Change can only come by way of conversation. If we want to see change, locally or nationally, we must be willing to share space and speak to others, as humans, not as socially situated identities.In this first part of the series, we will start off with the Olivia City Council Meeting Minutes from January 18th, 2021. It begins at the 1 hour 21-minute mark of the meeting. This is Item H. on the Agenda and it pertains to an upcoming guest’s yard sign. I want you to listen to this section of the meeting with an open mind. There were so many things that stood out to me that I will opine on later in the series, but for now, I want you, the listeners, to have the same information and hear the same exchanges that I did when I first started investigating this story. It’s about 23 minutes long. Afterward, I will offer my initial thoughts- things that stood out to me that I took notes on and had questions about.From there, we will embark on a series of interviews that I conducted with city council members, city officials, the sign owner, and others who wanted to speak to the controversy creating a conflict within our community. If you want to be a part of the conversation, please email me at Danielle.kingstrom@live .com, or find me on social media: Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, also on LinkedIn.For now, the questions I shall pose will require reflection, and I invite you to reflect on them along with me. I hope to try to answer these questions by the end of the series, but it could be that new ones arise, or none of them are answered at all. If you believe you have an answer, please let me know.Here are the questions I will leave for you to consider:What does a civilized society look like? Who decides what is and is not civilized? If we do not exercise our rights, will we lose them?If we have the right to do things, does that mean we ought to? What are shared values and who determines what is valuable?Can we agree to disagree?Listeners, as always, I ask you to compassionately consider the perspective of The City of Olivia. Enjoy the episode. Thank you to the Olivia City Council for their hard work and efforts on a truly difficult and challenging matter. 

Today, Matthew Niemi joins the conversation. Matthew is a Ph.D. Candidate for Islamic Studies and reached out to me after hearing the episode Psychedelic Christianity, in which I question whether Islam offers similar doctrines of forgiveness as Christianity. As a listener, he felt compelled to confront the confusion and offered space to be a guest and discuss. (Listeners, I love when this happens!)He shares what he has learned of Islam, and then we dig into forgiveness, politics, and censorship. He also flexes his Arabic skills. He drops a few verses from Matthew 23, shows how Jesus is regarded within Islam, and parallels the similarities of Christianity and Islam. Allah is a God of mercy, love, and forgiveness, expecting the same of his followers.Is it a good thing for Islam to be entangled in politics, should it influence political policies and measures, or should it be separate? Matthew articulates that, like Christianity, there is a spectrum of entanglement similar to what we have in the United States.Then, we dig into social problems and our responsibility as a collective. I share a little bit about my concern for eroticizing politics, how feminism lost its power by seeking all the power, and why I want to keep eroticism separate from politics.Matthew raises a good point that politics and religion are helpful for us to organize and operate within the society we live in.We cover a variety of topics. Settle in and get cozy, and compassionately consider the perspective of Matthew Abdulhaqq Niemi. Enjoy the episode.
