Ever gotten a scarlet, hot face after drinking alcohol or know someone who has? Many people felt it as they celebrate the holidays with loved ones, sipping mulled wine, cocktails or champagne. That's because this condition, commonly called "Asian flush" or "Asian glow," affects an estimated half a billion people, who can't break down aldehyde toxins that build up in their bodies. But what if there's a benefit to having Asian glow? Katie Wu, a staff writer for The Atlantic, has looked into the research as to why the condition might have been a powerful tool for some of our ancestors to survive disease.

"Stop Trying to Make Lean a Thing!" In this electric conversation with Spitfire Coach Lauren LeMunyan, Santana Inniss shares The Glow Initiative's mission to close the access gap in coaching for women and the nonprofits that serve them. Together they break down The Women in the Workplace 2025 report from McKinsey and Lean In and its problematic language, the myth of the so-called "ambition gap," and the uncomfortable truth about how the coaching industry mirrors broken corporate systems. If you're ready to shift from performative allyship to actual change, this episode is your playbook.

In this episode of The WAG Diaries, I'm breaking down something that felt impossible to ignore. In the days leading up to the launch of the WAG Winter Lock-In, I kept seeing angel numbers 222, 444, and 777. Not once. Not twice. Consistently. And instead of brushing it off, I realized something: Alignment always shows up before expansion. So in today's episode, we're decoding what these angel numbers actually mean, why they tend to appear when you're making big decisions or entering a new chapter, and how to use their messages to stay focused, disciplined, and grounded during a 90-day transformation. This episode isn't about superstition. It's about awareness, intention, and using symbolism as fuel. In this episode, we cover: What angel numbers really are (and what they are NOT) The meaning of 222 (alignment, trust, and staying committed to the process) The meaning of 444 (discipline, foundations, and long-term stability) The meaning of 777 (momentum, spiritual confirmation, and expansion) Why these numbers often appear right before personal breakthroughs How to use angel numbers as confirmation, not motivation How to stay grounded and avoid spiritual bypassing Practical ways to anchor your mindset during the WAG Winter Lock-In How alignment + action create real transformation If you're starting the WAG Winter Lock-In, this episode will help you: Stay committed when motivation fades Trust the process instead of rushing results Build discipline without burning out Recognize when you're on the right path, even when things feel quiet This is your reminder that signs don't replace discipline, they reinforce it. Alignment is the signal. Action is the requirement. And if you've been seeing repeating numbers lately, this episode will help you understand what they're asking of you and how to respond like the woman you're becoming. Winter is for building. Spring is for blooming. Let's lock in.   In this episode of The WAG Diaries, Victoria officially launches the WAG Winter Lock-In, a 12-week (90-day) transformation sprint designed to help you step into your most elevated self across the three WAG pillars: Wealth, Abundance, and Glow. While everyone else is waiting for January 1st to start making resolutions they won't keep, the 11:11 Girls are choosing to start preparing for their transformation now. This episode breaks down why winter is the most powerful season for transformation. Fewer distractions, more focus, and the perfect environment to build in silence and emerge unstoppable by spring. Victoria walks you through exactly what the WAG Winter Lock-In is, how it's structured, and how to set goals that actually change your life.

On the occasions when we humans go out of our way to help another person who is in distress, we are acting out our biological inheritance. And if we don't help someone in trouble, that's because we've had to actually actively suppress what is natural for us to do. That was the finding of the neurologist Peggy Mason. whom we interviewed in Shape of the World's second season. We've re-released that episode because that particular finding of Peggy's and the others she spoke about remain incredibly relevant and still come across as a bit shocking.  As a child, Peggy Mason was a biology prodigy. By the age of nine, she was assisting the zoologist Dr. Charles Handley in teaching taxidermy at the Smithsonian. Today, as a neurobiologist, Peggy still works with mammals, but now she's studying whether they experience empathy and act to help one another. Peggy was studying the subject of pain modulation until a post-doctoral student at the University of Chicago, Inbal Ben-Ami Bartal, asked if she'd be interested in expanding her work to collaborate on a project about empathy. “I went over to see her that same day,” says Peggy, and the upshot was the discovery that, like humans, rats have an aversion to witnessing the distress of others and a strong motivation to help someone else who's suffering. In addition to leading the research laboratory at the University of Chicago, Peggy is a committed teacher of neurobiology, teaching both formally (at the University) and informally, through her blog and a popular free, online course. “It's our biological mammalian inheritance to help. It's not helping that's the weird thing.” – Dr. Peggy Mason is a professor of neurobiology at the University of Chicago. Want to Learn More, See More, Know More? You'll love this video from Nova that shows one rat deliberately setting free another rat that's trapped. Later, the rat is confronted with the question of which to do first: save some rat it had never even met before, or wolf down the chocolate Peggy offered? Also, here's the article in Science magazine. How can I take a class with Peggy? On Coursera, take “Understanding the Brain: The Neurobiology of Every Day Life,” a free course taught by Peggy. You can also gain more insights from Peggy by subscribing to her blog, which is fascinating and far-reaching in its subject matter. Her most recent post has the full script of her “Aims of Education” address, a prestigious speech given to incoming students. Rats from Dr. Mason and Dr. Bartal’s trapped-rat empathy experiment. Amazingly, the black-and-white rat will venture into the “danger zone” of the arena to help the trapped rat. Photograph of Dr. Mason and Dr. Bartal together. Rat-nibbled Hershey's kisses. Electrophysiological recordings of a rat, illustrating how different parts of a rat's body (the right forepaw, the left hindpaw, etc.) respond to certain stimuli.

The Alcohol Estrogen Trap: Why Men Get "Puffy" & The Truth About Asian Glow | The Prime Podcast Ep. 352 Episode Description: Why do former athletes suddenly get a "round face" two years after retiring? Why does alcohol make some people turn bright red while others just get bloated? In Episode 352 of the Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies uncover the physiological chaos alcohol causes during the holidays. We aren't just talking about hangovers; we're talking about Estrogen Dominance. Learn how alcohol messes with liver filtration, leading to lower testosterone and that characteristic "puffy" inflammation seen in many men (and why stopping can lead to a "Post Malone" style transformation). We also dive into the science of the "Asian Glow" (hint: it's actually an allergic reaction), why red wine's health benefits are largely a myth, and why the dating scene is rapidly shifting toward "Sober Curious" and Dry Bars. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The Estrogen Connection: How alcohol increases estrogen in men, leading to belly fat and facial bloating. Asian Glow Science: Why turning red after drinking is a sign your body cannot methylate or process the toxin. The "Post Malone" Effect: How cutting alcohol reduces systemic inflammation and radically changes your face shape. The Holiday Binge: Dealing with the 37% of people who drink to excess between Halloween and New Year's. Sober Dating: Why "Dry" is becoming a status symbol on dating apps. Mocktails & Boundaries: How to navigate social pressure without ruining your health.

In episode 220, host Galit Friedlander and guest Chad Geiger (dance agent at The Movement Talent Agency) pull back the curtain on what representation really looks like from the agency side and what dancers often misunderstand about it. We talk about essential pieces of a sustainable dance career: communication, contracts, headshots and resumes that actually serve you, and how your choices off the floor impact your opportunities just as much as your training on it. Chad shares insight on navigating direct bookings, building trust with your team, and why “doing the basics well” is still one of the biggest differentiators in today's industry.

The third episode in our Advent series explores why most couples don't feel joyful during the holidays and how to protect joy when everything feels like obligation and chaos. Joy becomes elusive when we expect it to be natural, when we prioritize mere survival over connection, when we forget to dig deep to remember God's love for us is the deepest reason for joy, when we lose ourselves in others' never-ending needs, when we escape instead of engaging, and when we don't pause during the chaos that puts your nervous system in survival mode where delight is impossible. There is so much to learn and we can take it step by step together! Listen here as you find centering and re-embrace delight this holiday or anytime of year!! Watch on YouTube!

Explore the Mysteries of the National Parks with author Mike Bezemek. Discover forgotten stories of the first UFO sighting, lost explorers, and other unsolved national park mysteries.Episode Resources:Get your copy of "Mysteries of the National Parks"Learn more about Mike Bezemek's workWas the first-ever UFO sighting covered up by the Roswell incident? What really happened to the honeymooners who vanished on the Colorado River? Author and outdoor adventurer Mike Bezemek joins us to uncover the shocking secrets and strange events hidden within America's most treasured landscapes. In this episode, we dive deep into his fascinating book, Mysteries of the National Parks, exploring forgotten tales that defy simple explanation.From bizarre crimes to perplexing natural phenomena, this conversation peels back the curtain on the unsolved national park mysteries that have puzzled historians and scientists for decades. We investigate the incredible story of the first UFO sighting in 1947, where pilot Kenneth Arnold witnessed nine mysterious objects over Mount Rainier, an event that predates the more famous Roswell incident. Mike Bezemek reveals why this foundational story has been largely forgotten and shares the plausible explanation behind the Roswell craze that followed. We then travel to Yosemite for the tale of a brazen stagecoach robbery where the bandits posed for a photograph—possibly the only authentic picture of a Wild West holdup in existence.The discussion covers a wide range of incredible stories, including the tragic Glenn and Bessie Hyde disappearance in the Grand Canyon, where the newlywed couple and their boat vanished without a trace after a perilous journey down the Colorado River. We also explore the eerie phenomenon of the Angel's Glow at Shiloh Battlefield, where wounded Civil War soldiers' wounds emitted a strange blue light, a mystery later potentially solved by a high school science project involving bioluminescent bacteria. Other incredible topics include the strange history of the Gateway Arch and its surprising connection to Mussolini, the famous sliding stones of Death Valley's Racetrack Playa, and the debate over whether Utah's Upheaval Dome was created by a salt formation or a massive meteor impact. These tales are just a fraction of the 35 incredible cases explored in the book, revealing that our national parks hold more than just beautiful scenery—they hold secrets.About Our Guest:Mike Bezemek is an author, outdoor writer, and adventurer whose work focuses on history, travel, and mystery. His latest book, "Mysteries of the National Parks," is the culmination of decades of exploring the U.S. National Park system, from the grand landscapes of Yosemite to the historic battlefields of the East. His curiosity was sparked during a cross-country road trip that led him to investigate the Lost Colony of Fort Raleigh, inspiring him to collect and document the strangest and most compelling mysteries our parks have to offer.Timestamps / Chapters:(00:00) The Hidden Mysteries in Our National Parks(02:17) Mount Rainier 1947: The Forgotten First UFO Sighting(08:27) Behind the Book: Weaving History, Adventure, and Mystery(10:22) Yosemite's Bizarre Stagecoach Robbery: The Only Known Photograph(13:51) The Author's Inspiration: A Cross-Country Journey of Discovery(17:31) The Gateway Arch's Twisted History: A Surprising Mussolini Connection?(20:56) Death Valley's Racetrack Playa: The Mystery of the Sliding Stones(24:27) Vanished on the Colorado: The Disappearance of Glenn and Bessie Hyde(29:24) Angel's Glow: Solving a Civil War Mystery at Shiloh Battlefield(34:18) The Making of a Mystery Book: A Lifetime of Research(39:35) Upheaval Dome: Meteor Impact or Salt Dome?(42:21) What's Next for Mike Bezemek?

Welcome to the Spiritually Fit Yoga podcast with Amelia Andaleon!   In Day 12 of our 30-day mini-meditation series, it is December 12th, and 12/12 is often associated with alignment, spiritual clarity, and light.The 1212 angel number signifies divine messages about new beginnings, spiritual growth, balance, and manifesting goals, urging you to stay positive, trust your intuition. It's a call to embrace positive thinking, self-reflection, and  reminding you that your angels support your spiritual path and manifestation of your dreams.  Today we are turning inward to connect with your inner glow.  In yoga philosophy and ayurveda, tejas is the sanskrit term for your inner radiance, brilliance, or spiritual fire. tejas is the subtle glow of clarity, intuition, and vitality. It's not about being bright, loud, or performing.  Tejas is the quiet, steady flame that lives at the center of your being.One practice to balance tejas is candle-gazing, or trataka.  I will guide you to visualize a candle but, you are also welcome to pause this episode to light a candle for your own trataka meditation.May you feel the glow and warmth of your inner radiance today.——————————I'd love to hear what you are experiencing practicing these mini-meditation episodes.

If you want 2026 to be your breakthrough year, THIS is the foundation you need. In this episode, I share why the transition from snake energy into fire horse energy is the exact wake-up call so many of us needed. The things that stopped working this year weren't failures. I break down why adding more offers, more content, or more effort is not the answer. This is the year to refine what you do, get honest about what's broken, tighten your messaging, and clean up every leak in your life and business so that when speed hits, you're actually ready for it.
