From the atmosphere to the energy, I share what I liked, what I didn't, and why I'd love to throw my own exclusive, high-level version — a space that's sexy, safe, and way better than what's out there now.It's candid, it's bold, and it's definitely not for the faint of heart.— Don't forget to subscribe, like, and give me my 10s in the comments! X: @LNwithSylvester

What does it really take to open your heart after heartbreak or divorce? Why do we attract certain types of partners, and how can we break free from guardedness to find authentic connection? How much should we share about our past traumas, and when is the right time to get real about what we truly want in a relationship? In Episode 417 of The Charisma Quotient, “Unlocking Love After Loss: Real Talk with Real Bachelors,” you'll get a special look at Kimmy's new show Dating Real Talk where Kimmy and her co-host Alison Melody, and special guests Doug and Mark—two real-life bachelors sharing candid insights.   This episode explores the heightened emotions and drama of the "Golden Bachelor," but quickly goes beyond TV to extract powerful lessons for anyone dating in their second act. Kimmy leads a lively discussion about body language, pressure in dating, and the pitfalls of prematurely seeking commitment—connecting reality show moments to what actually happens in the world of dating after divorce. The group tackles the differences (and surprising similarities) between men and women when it comes to vulnerability, attraction, and the pain of love lost. Plus, Doug and Mark reveal what it feels like to date post-divorce, how trauma and guardedness affect their desire for openness, and the lively banter around authentic connection versus superficial “fun.”     You'll hear: The real-life male perspective on dating after divorce (what's different, what's hard, and what's hopeful) Insights from watching and dissecting “The Golden Bachelor”—and what applies to your own dating life How to recognize body language cues that reveal true feelings (and the risks of ignoring them) Candid discussion on when (and how) to share your past traumas with a new partner The power of authenticity, self-love, and real energy in attracting the right relationship   If you're ready to unlock love, book a free call with Kimmy here: https://www.kimmyseltzer.com/breakthrough-session/   Charisma Quotient Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and many of your other favorite podcast channels. ************************************************⁣ Kimmy Seltzer is a Confidence Therapist and Authentic Dating Strategist implementing targeted style, emotional and social intelligence to your life. ⁣ ************************************************⁣ Would you like to connect with Kimmy?⁣ Website:  https://kimmyseltzer.com/⁣ Chat: https://www.kimmyseltzer.com/breakthrough-session/ Instagram: @kimmyseltzer Twitter: @kimmyseltzer Join her FREE Facebook Group Love Makeover Insiders:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/lovemakeovers Take her Flirt Quiz to see what kind of flirt you are www.flirtover40.com

Ever get told “be more fun” and think… how? We open the door to our training week—workshop takeaways, insecurity and breakthroughs, and the gritty details of turning vague advice into steps you can actually use. From pet behavior fixes to sport-dog precision, we trace how timing, markers, and body language turn chaos into clarity and why mastering the basics is the fastest way to level up.We unpack the difference between obedience as a crutch and obedience as a skill, and we show how leash-led walking drills build calm focus without a single command. You'll hear how we structure neutrality sessions—rewards only from you even with toys and food on the ground—and why that's both a safety plan and impulse control in one. We talk handler energy too: pairing dog temperament with your style so training feels like give-and-take, not begging. Muffin's story reveals the reality of emotion-first sessions, micro-sets of “boring” precision, and the reps it takes to make the dog choose you over the room.Pack dynamics get real here—using stable dogs to teach manners, deliver fair corrections, and diffuse tension without dog parks. We also tackle confidence dips and the Dunning–Kruger curve when you train beside elite handlers. The fix isn't a secret method; it's community, standards, and repetition. Our facility has become the lab for freeshaping, sterile first reps, and workshops that blend fundamentals with business so new trainers can actually thrive.If you want actionable drills, a clearer path from pet problems to sport-ready control, and a reminder that progress is built on simple things done well, you'll feel at home. Share this with a trainer friend, subscribe for new episodes, and leave a review with one skill you plan to sharpen this week. Your next breakthrough might be one clean rep away.Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.

Today we are speaking with a family who only knows life with breast cancer. With a strong family history of both breast cancer and BRCA gene mutations on the maternal side, everyone has always wondered “when”, not “if” breast cancer would affect them too. When Kathryn was diagnosed in her early 30's like her mother was, it unveiled the difficulties of being diagnosed as a young woman. It also spurred a series of decisions by her two sisters, one of which is her twin. This is a story of support, empowerment, struggle, guilt and pain, but most of all, family. Today we welcome sisters Kathryn, Christine and Cara and their mom Vicki to the show to talk about experiences.

Widow 180: The Podcast welcomes Amber Vogt, a recent widow navigating life after the sudden loss of her husband, Jay, in April 2024. Amber opens up about the shock and trauma of that day, parenting through grief, and the unexpected challenges of solo adulthood. Her story is raw, vulnerable, and ultimately inspiring. Here are five standout takeaways from our conversation:Trusting Your Instincts: Amber shares how paying attention to a “weird feeling”  caused her to go home from work and check on her husband—reminding us to listen to our gut, especially during uncertain times.The Fog of Grief: The initial days following loss can be a blur; Amber only remembers fragments and emphasizes that it's normal to struggle with memory, planning, and focus after trauma.Importance of Hard Conversations: Having discussed funeral wishes and life plans with Jay helped tremendously—Amber encourages everyone to talk openly about end-of-life decisions, no matter how uncomfortable.Seeking Help and Letting Go: From home maintenance to parenting and finances, Amber's journey highlights the value of asking for support and accepting that independence sometimes means leaning on others.Giving Yourself Grace in Change: Whether it's tackling household projects as a form of coping, adapting to new routines, or learning to forgive yourself for not having all the answers—Amber's story illustrates that healing requires patience, self-compassion, and permission to keep moving forward.Tune in every week for honest widow talk  and conversations about loss, resilience, and learning to rebuild life!Get our latest workbook in the Widow 180 Workbook Series, The Let Go Of Guilt Workbook if you need help releasing the tiring burden of guilt after losing your spouse.

In this deeply vulnerable episode, Dr. Glen and Phyllis continue their real-time conflict from last week, diving into the messy reality of what it looks like when one partner is thriving while the other is just beginning to recover from burnout. Recorded just moments after a morning conflict, this episode captures the raw, unscripted reality of navigating relationship pain when one person has no reserves left and the other is wondering when things will feel "normal" again. Glen and Phyllis, along with host Tera Wages, explore the invisible weight of mental and emotional labor in relationships, how partners experience the same events differently and arrive at different emotional places, the fear and uncertainty of not knowing how long a partner's pain will last, identity crisis and what it means to feel completely empty of reserves, the importance of getting curious instead of trying to fix, why processing pain 10,000 times is actually healthy (not a problem), how to support a partner who is in a season of deep transition, and the power of doing the Core Emotion Wheel regularly, especially during hard seasons. You'll learn why one partner can feel like they "sprinted" across the finish line while the other "crawled," how to recognize when mental/emotional labor is just as taxing as physical labor, the difference between desire and capacity in your body, why it's crucial to turn toward your partner and share your emotions in the moment, how to invite your partner back into connection when they miss with you, why identity pain is the greatest pain and requires the most patience, and the importance of slowing down and asking "Ooh, tell me more" instead of problem-solving. Whether you're the partner crawling across the finish line or the one wondering when your spouse will "bounce back," this episode offers permission to feel all of it, process it together, and remember that you're not broken—you're just human.Chapters:00:00:00 - Disclaimer00:02:30 - "I Don't Know If This Is a 5 Year or 25 Year Plan"00:05:50 - Phyllis's Perspective: "I'm Still Discovering Me"00:10:40 - The Identity Crisis: Selling the Company and Losing a Lane00:13:00 - Learning to Feel Emotions for the First Time: "Oh, That's What Burnout Feels Like"00:21:05 - "I Have No Reserves": A New Experience00:22:10 - Desire vs. Capacity: Learning to Listen to Your Body00:24:10 - Different Experiences at the Finish Line: "I Crawled, You Sprinted"00:40:00 - Identity Pain Is the Greatest Pain00:42:00 - "I Just Want You to Turn to Me"00:47:20 - The Lifeline: Using the Core Emotion Wheel in Hard SeasonsLinks and Resources:Connection Codes WebsiteTake the Connection Codes AssessmentConnection Codes CoachingWatch previous episodes on navigating conflictConnect with us on Instagram: @connectioncodes

What happens when a dietitian and a PA sit down to talk about heart disease—from both sides of the exam room?In this episode, Colleen brings together two heart health experts: Michelle Routhenstein, MS, RD, CDCES, a cardiovascular dietitian known for her evidence-based prevention strategies, and Josh Wageman, PA-C, PhD, a clinical lipid specialist who's spent his career studying cholesterol disturbances and Alzheimer's.Together, they tackle one of medicine's most common (and confusing) topics—heart health. You'll hear how each expert thinks, what they prioritize, and how they talk with patients who are juggling elevated LDL, inflammation, insulin resistance, or menopause-related changes. By the end, you'll see how bridging nutrition and medicine leads to smarter, more patient-centered care—because this is how the healthcare team should work anyway. Resources:Episode 38 | Love Your Heart with MichelleEpisode 111 | HDL Good, LDL Bad with JoshEpisode 117 | The Best Diet to Lower Cholesterol with JoshConnect with MichelleBuy Josh's BookAny Questions?

We reacted to the best (and worst!) advice you shared about navigating your twenties. From finding faith-filled mentors to practical hacks like travel credit cards, we covered it all—yes, even a slightly controversial convo about giving up a dog. We laughed, we disagreed, and we got real about everything from building community to trusting God's voice in seasons of uncertainty. Whether we're looking back on our twenties or walking through them now, this episode reminded us how important it is to stay rooted in Jesus, go all in with our people, and keep saying yes to what He's doing.

In this unfiltered episode of Keep It Humane: The Podcast, Daniel and Ashley drop the script, silence the filters, and just talk. No guests. No agenda.

In this episode, host Laurie Reynoldson dives into a truth many high-achieving women avoid admitting: the discomfort, guilt, and conditioning around prioritizing ourselves.We're in midlife—when everyone wants us to believe we should be winding down, focusing on others, or finally feeling “settled.” But what if this is actually the season when you're supposed to become more of yourself? What if the life you've built isn't the life you truly want?Laurie unpacks:Why we wait for a crisis to finally make a changeThe cultural conditioning that tells women they should be grateful, not hungry for moreThe mindset shift that turns midlife from a “meh” season into the main eventWhy "I should be happy" is not the same as I am fulfilledThe power of asking: What do I want now?—without apology or explanationIf you've been feeling the quiet nudge (or loud scream) that something needs to shift, this is your reminder: You don't need permission to want more. You just need to stop pretending you don't.LINKS + MENTIONS:Email Laurie with Retreat Yes!Essentialism, by Greg McKeown

We Say We Care About Kids — But Do We Really? | Karel Cast 25-130 Politicians scream about “protecting kids” — from drag queens, books, or healthcare — but ignore the one thing that truly shapes their future: what's in their hands every day. From social media to screen addiction, billionaires are profiting while an entire generation pays the price. Karel exposes the hypocrisy of a society that pretends to care while letting our children's mental health, attention spans, and futures crumble — all in the name of profit. Plus: why peace in the Middle East remains out of reach, the talk of National Guard deployment in San Francisco, and the question no one can answer — what really counts as “American food”?
