There's no such thing as a simple pelvic health patient.Even the patient who walks in with “just a little stress incontinence” brings a history, a body, hormones, sleep, stress, previous injuries, bowel function, activity goals—and a whole lot more.And that's exactly why being a great pelvic health clinician requires so much more than memorizing protocols.We're joined by Michelle Lyons for one of those wide-ranging, thought-provoking conversations we always love having with her.Michelle has been part of PelviCon from the very beginning. She's our only 5-time PelviCon speaker, an incredible educator and one of the most thoughtful voices in our profession.In this episode, we talk about:

Send us Fan MailYour best prospects are not saying “no.” Most of the time, they're saying “not yet,” and the gap between now and their buying window is where deals quietly die. I sit down with John McLaughlin, CEO of 12touches.com, to talk about a simple way to stay top of mind without becoming a nuisance: send consistent, curated industry value that makes you useful even when nobody is ready to buy. John shares how he built a newsletter engine that curates hundreds of enterprise IT articles each week, organizes them into clean topic buckets, and uses real audience click behavior to surface the most relevant stories. We get specific about why “built-in substantiation” matters for B2B sales and thought leadership, how separating vendor content from vendor-neutral coverage protects trust, and why a newsletter that stops after two issues can hurt you more than help you. We also break down LinkedIn newsletters as a free distribution channel that behaves like email, stays opt-in, and becomes searchable on LinkedIn and Google. Then we zoom out into what the tech community is worried about right now: phishing and stolen credentials, AI agents probing systems, quantum computing implications for encryption, plus the very real infrastructure strain behind AI such as high-performance storage, GPUs, rack density, power, cooling, and water use in data centers. If you want a practical personal branding and social selling play that compounds over time, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a sales pro who's tired of “just checking in,” and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

This week on the Deadpod, I'm heading back to one of my favorite September stops: Madison Square Garden in New York City, for the opening night of the band's nine-show run in September 1991. By this point, the post-Brent lineup has had time to settle in, and Bruce Hornsby adds plenty of color to the proceedings. Phil makes his presence felt right from the opening "Touch of Grey," providing a strong melodic foundation throughout the set. While Garcia's vocals sound a little rough at times, his playing is right on the money. Give "Loser" a listen for a good example of both. I really dig the "Big River" > "Maggie's Farm" pairing, too. It's always a treat to hear them trade verses on that Dylan number. "Row Jimmy" and "Let It Grow" round out this week's selection. I hope you enjoy this opening visit to the Garden.

Episode 1023 tracks how Republicans keep telling us who they are, from Darren Bailey embracing young-earth creationism to Trump calling Democrats "the enemy from within" over and over again. Driftglass and Blue Gal line up years of Trump's own words describing political opponents as existential enemies, then ask a hard question: if the Right sees this as a real war, shouldn't we believe them and plan accordingly? The episode also catches Erick Erickson, a longtime Trump critic turned supporter turned critic again, warning about white nationalist infiltration of conservative institutions, proving that even his own allies can't escape the monster he helped build. It's a call to stop assuming compromise will work with people who have told us plainly that compromise was never their goal.Links for this episode: Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It's Juliette here.What if the reason you don't feel turned on anymore has less to do with your partner than you think?I worked with a woman who wanted to want her partner again. She had been waiting for him to flip the switch back on.But he couldn't.It was never his job.So often, we look outside ourselves. What is he doing? What isn't he doing? Why doesn't he turn me on anymore?But eroticism doesn't begin with another person.It begins with your own aliveness.I call it scrumptiousness. That life force running through you before anybody else even enters the room.And before your body can open to that aliveness, it needs something fundamental:Safety.In this episode, we explore why desire starts in your own body, how your nervous system influences your capacity to open, and how simple touch practices can reconnect you with sensation and pleasure.Maybe the question isn't:“Why doesn't he turn me on anymore?”Maybe it's:“When did I stop feeling safe enough in my own body to turn myself on at all?”The Touch ResetIf you want intimacy but your body braces, disconnects or struggles to receive touch, The Touch Reset helps you understand what may be happening underneath that response.We work with your Touch Pattern, Touch States, pleasure language, capacity, communication and structured touch so you can reconnect with what actually feels good.Start with the Touch Reset Quiz:https://feelfullyyou.com/touch-reset-quiz

This week's segment reflects on the powerful story of the woman with the issue of blood, recorded in Mark 5 and echoed in Matthew and Luke.  Though her name is never given, her story speaks to every person who has ever carried private pain, long-term struggle, or desperate hope.  After twelve years of suffering, she presses through the crowd with remarkable faith, believing that one touch of Jesus' garment would make her whole.  Her silent reach becomes a bold testimony: when faith draws near to Christ, God's presence, power, and purpose can meet us in the very place of our need.

What if your thoughts could allow you to feel the texture of an object, type a message or move a robotic arm? How does the brain translate thought into physical movement, and can technology bridge the gap for paralyzed patients, whose pathways are broken?University of Chicago neuroscientist Nicholas Hatsopoulos is transforming that fundamental neuroscience into life-changing medical technology. By implanting microelectrode arrays directly into the brain, his team decodes the neural patterns that fire when a person intends to move. This brain-machine interface technology is allowing patients who are paralyzed or have ALS the ability to control robotic limbs, reach for objects, and regain touch sensation through their thoughts.

Episode 1022 asks what history's hardest lessons — Reconstruction's collapse, the Allies' insistence on unconditional German surrender — have to teach about defeating a movement built on grievance and racial resentment rather than "economic anxiety." Driftglass and Blue Gal make the case for treating the whole GOP as an enemy of democracy, not a rival to reconcile with, and for why repetition of hard truths may be the only weapon the Left has left.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Touch screens and added safety features are just two reasons cars are more complicated than they used to be. With so many onboard computer systems, it could leave drivers wondering whether they need to call computer repair or a mechanic.It's also one of the reasons drivers are rejecting new cars for older models. We're looking under the hood, kicking the tires, and learning about what it takes to keep your car on the road.Guests:Nile “Motormouth” Jenkins, mechanic and host of Motormouth's Morning Drive podcastChris Cozad, president and owner of Alternative Auto Care

Hey there everyone! This is your Captain speaking and this month we have an episode being helmed by the one and only Brat-of-Steel! The focus this month is on voices from the trans community. With that I chose to take a step back and give the platform over so I didn't muddy up any of the messaging going out. The hosts this month speak on representation in media, how they are (and many times aren't) perceived in the world, somehow it goes into bathroom cleanliness, and much more on this episode. I personally enjoyed listening and learning quite a bit that I never knew.

Not because you can't remember if the sink base made it into the order. You just got up to get some water. You stood in the kitchen for a minute. You went back to bed.And you fell asleep.That's it. That's the whole story.We started this season in a very different version of 2 AM — the one where you were running business gymnastics in your head, where the fear of something slipping through the cracks kept you staring at the ceiling. That fear didn't go away because you got better at remembering things. It went away because you stopped asking your memory to do a job a system can do better.This is the season finale.

Recorded September 11, 2026 Touch panels are supposed to make AV systems easier to use, so why do so many of them look like somebody dumped every possible control onto a screen and called it finished? In this episode, we dig into classroom and conference room GUI design: what really needs to be on the main page, what should be hidden, what should disappear entirely, and why "just because you can control it" doesn't mean the user needs a button for it. We get into source selection, camera presets, tracking, volume controls, help buttons, advanced pages, live previews, multiple displays, and the dangers of letting AV programmers design interfaces without anyone stopping them. Along the way, we confess our own interface crimes, argue over how many buttons are too many, uncover some truly questionable legacy designs, and arrive at one simple challenge: go look at your touch panels and delete something. By the way, the show art for this episode is a real touch panel UI that Chris stumbled across at one of his many previous universities.   Alternate show titles: They're terrible templates What happens in big spaces… In a normal situation, everything is flat There's no hole, I'm doing it right It's just one quick button It usually never gets touched You're not doing that right It's already showing the left I want to ask something Oh, yeah, that'd be smart Reading words You just said there's nothing there!

The GOP just held a midterm convention that was centered around the one thing their base seems to really like: Donald Trump.

In 1997, a teenager from Indiana named Travis Meeks took acoustic guitar, heavy alternative rock, and pure brooding intensity to the top of the charts with Days Of The New's self-titled debut album (often known as Yellow). But behind the massive radio singles and multi-platinum success was a band on the brink of complete collapse driven by Meek's massive ego, substance abuse struggles, and relentless compulsion to control every note.Join us as we dive into the genius and tragedy of Days Of The New. We break down their iconic 1997 debut and explore a couple of tracks from their follow-up (Green) to glimpse a hint of the grand, experimental direction Meeks was desperately trying to take the project before it all unraveled.

If you're a successful woman who already knows you should eat well, move your body, sleep more, and manage stress, why can taking care of yourself still feel so hard? In this episode, I'm joined by a lab scientist turned health, nutrition, and fitness coach to talk about what high-achieving women actually need to understand about their health beyond another workout plan or list of foods to eat. We explore how chronic stress, perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, control, overachievement, and the habit of pushing through can affect the way women approach nutrition, fitness, recovery, and their bodies.  We also talk about what the science really says versus the health advice you can safely tune out, why more discipline is not always the answer, and what sustainable health looks like when you're also building a career, leading a company, raising a family, or carrying a lot of responsibility. If you want to feel strong, energized, healthy, and capable without turning your health into another full-time job, this conversation is for you.

Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Meet Joshua Rodriguez, founder of the Kink Collective and creator of Connection Simplified. In this episode Joshua gets to the real foundation underneath kink, BDSM, and leather culture: vulnerability, trust, and being truly seen. Joshua shares the philosophy of "people before kink," born from his own experience of feeling objectified for his skills rather than valued as a whole person, and walks Leah and Willow through his structured approach to building deep connection with a total stranger before negotiating any scene play. Joshua breaks down how leaving your armor at the door, practicing radical presence, and learning body mapping and negotiation create the emotional safety that real kink and BDSM play require. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS♦️Kink is permission, not performance: Joshua's "people before kink" philosophy puts the whole human being first, before any label, role, or technique.♦️Connection Simplified is a structured, three hour process that builds trust between strangers through shared vulnerability, accountability questions, and mirrored self disclosure.♦️BDSM, kink, and leather are three distinct things: kink is the action, BDSM is the relationship framework, and leather is the community and value structure that supports it.♦️Body mapping teaches partners to negotiate touch and discover where they like, dislike, and can't feel sensation, an essential safety skill before deeper play.♦️Real transformation happens when people stop searching for safety "out there" and learn to hold that safety within themselves first.♦️Confirmation bias makes us reject people on sight; softening that reflex, as Leah and Willow discuss, opens the door to some of the most meaningful connections available.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/sexreimagined-com/bdsm-trust-building The Couples Sacred Spot Retreat | Santa Barbara, Nov 6-8 We are bringing our most intimate couples workshop to California.

Artificial intelligence may be changing the world, but Stan Hustad believes the most important question is far more personal: What will it change in you, and what will you choose to do with it? In this timely edition from the What It Takes Radio Company, Stan the Radio Man steps into the controversy surrounding artificial intelligence with curiosity, humor, faith, and a broadcaster's instinct for asking the question beneath the headlines. Will AI improve human performance or diminish human purpose? Will it expand creativity or encourage intellectual laziness? Will it help people serve their audiences more effectively, or merely fill the world with more noise? For Stan, the answer will not be determined by the technology alone. It will be determined by the wisdom, character, imagination, and intentions of the people using it. Between Fear and Fascination The program was recorded during the Jewish tradition's Days of Awe, the reflective season between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is a time associated with examination, repentance, forgiveness, and the determination to live differently in the coming year. That spiritual setting provides an appropriate background for a conversation about AI. Artificial intelligence is already provoking its own kind of awe: sometimes wonder, sometimes fear, and frequently confusion. Some predict that AI will solve extraordinary human problems. Others warn that it will threaten employment, distort truth, consume enormous resources, and possibly become dangerously difficult to control. Stan does not dismiss legitimate concerns, but he resists the temptation to surrender to panic. History reminds us that almost every significant technological change has produced both exaggerated promises and exaggerated fears. The automobile, radio, television, the internet, and social media were all expected either to save society or ruin it. None fulfilled every promise. None produced every predicted disaster. Each became a tool whose consequences depended substantially upon the people, purposes, and systems directing it. AI may become extraordinarily powerful, but power is not the same thing as wisdom. From Artificial Intelligence to Human Performance Stan proposes a constructive shift in the conversation: move from merely discussing artificial intelligence to considering human performance. The best question may not be, "What can AI do?" It may be: What can AI help human beings do better? Used wisely, AI can help people research, organize, compare, question, revise, illustrate, and communicate. It can assist entrepreneurs in developing ideas, teachers in preparing lessons, broadcasters in extending programs, and authors in transforming spoken insights into published work. But AI cannot decide what a human life should be about. It cannot determine whom a person is called to serve. It cannot substitute information for integrity, automation for imagination, or production for purpose. Stan's challenge is to use artificial intelligence in the service of human flourishing. Technology should help people become more thoughtful, creative, capable, generous, and fully alive, not merely faster. Everyone Has an Audience One of the program's central ideas is Stan's enduring conviction that everyone has an audience, or at least a potential audience. That audience should not be treated simply as prospects, customers, clients, or statistical targets. An audience is a community of people who might be informed, encouraged, helped, challenged, or transformed by what someone has learned and is willing to share. Finding that audience begins with two questions: Who are you called to serve? How can you help them become better, happier, wiser, braver, more capable, or more fully alive? AI can assist in reaching those people, but it cannot answer the calling question on a person's behalf. That requires reflection, self-knowledge, spiritual discernment, and a willingness to listen. Success begins not with attracting the largest possible audience, but with becoming genuinely useful to the right one. Become Someone People Trust Remember and Follow Technology may create visibility, but visibility does not automatically produce credibility. Stan draws upon ideas he has studied throughout his career, including the enduring principles associated with Dale Carnegie, to describe the kind of communicator worth becoming: a person whom others can trust, remember, and follow. Trust is earned through truthfulness and consistency. People remember those who communicate with clarity, personality, and genuine concern. They follow those who have demonstrated that their ideas can lead somewhere worthwhile. AI may polish a sentence or improve a presentation, but it cannot manufacture a trustworthy life. The communicator must still do the inner work. Anyone hoping to transform a business, organization, audience, or community must first be willing to experience some transformation personally. That may involve the discomfort, even the trauma, of questioning familiar assumptions, abandoning ineffective habits, confronting personal limitations, and beginning again. The Seen the Unseen and the Limits of Knowledge The program also moves beyond technological questions into something deeper: the mystery of how little human beings truly know about themselves and their world. Stan reflects on the difference between what is seen and what remains unseen. People naturally place great confidence in what can be measured, displayed, calculated, or explained. Yet some of life's most powerful realities, including faith, love, courage, memory, imagination, motive, and spiritual influence, cannot always be placed neatly on a screen. Human beings also understand only a portion of what is taking place within themselves. Talents may remain undiscovered. Fears can operate below conscious awareness. Unexamined desires can influence decisions. Shadows, selfishness, and destructive tendencies can coexist with remarkable generosity and courage. Artificial intelligence can reveal patterns in enormous collections of information. It may even help people notice patterns within their own work. But it does not eliminate the need for humility. The beginning of wisdom may be the admission that neither the machine nor its maker knows everything. A Touch of Immortality Stan then introduces one of the program's most provocative and engaging ideas: the possibility of achieving a touch of immortality. He is not suggesting that human beings can avoid death. His meaning is both simpler and more demanding. A person gains a touch of immortality when something they create continues serving others after they are gone. During a long life in broadcasting, teaching, coaching, and entrepreneurship, Stan has produced thousands of radio programs, videos, articles, interviews, and presentations. Many remain online. Some may be discovered years from now by people he has never met. The same opportunity is increasingly available to others. A book, recording, course, podcast, letter, lesson, or story can preserve hard-earned wisdom and carry it beyond the limits of one lifetime. The goal is not simply to leave behind more digital material. The internet already contains more material than anyone could consume. The challenge is to create something true and useful, something capable of helping another person live, work, believe, or serve more faithfully. As Stan reminds his audience, it may not be what a person completes or achieves that finally matters most. It may be what that person starts. From Books to Broadcasting and Back Again Stan sees a powerful relationship between publishing and broadcasting. Someone who wants to write a book may begin by speaking it. Teaching, recording, interviewing, and telling stories can uncover the natural voice and central ideas that eventually become chapters. A microphone can also help an author introduce and distribute a completed book. The book supplies depth and permanence; broadcasting creates presence, personality, and connection. The process works in both directions. A book can become a broadcast, podcast, course, or video series. A collection of broadcasts can become a book. A spoken story can become an article. A lifetime of experience can become a body of teaching that continues serving others. AI can assist with transcription, organization, editing, summarization, and adaptation. But the lived experience, conviction, wisdom, and human voice must come from the person. The machine can help shape the material. It should not replace the soul of it. Entering the Transformation Zone Stan places this conversation within his larger understanding of the stages, or zones, of a meaningful life. People begin in the Curiosity Zone, where they explore, question, discover, and learn. They move into the Impact Zone, where they must create value, earn a living, serve others, and produce meaningful results. Experience can then lead into the Wisdom Zone, where lessons are examined, tested, and better understood. From wisdom comes the possibility of entering the Transformation Zone: the place where a person becomes capable of creating changes that are profound, lasting, and genuinely important. Transformation is more than improvement. It is not merely doing the same thing a little faster or decorating an old idea with new technology. Transformation changes what a person, organization, or community is capable of becoming. AI may participate in that process, but it cannot lead it alone. Transformation still requires people who possess moral imagination, spiritual depth, practical wisdom, and a genuine desire to be the cause of good things. Things to Remember Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool, but it is not a source of ultimate wisdom, purpose, or calling. The essential question is not only what AI can do, but what it can help human beings do better. Everyone has a potential audience: people they may be called and equipped to serve. Lasting influence grows from becoming someone others can trust, remember, and follow. We understand only a portion of ourselves and our world; humility remains essential. A book, broadcast, lesson, or story can continue serving people long after its creator is gone. Technology should strengthen human performance and flourishing, not diminish human responsibility. Things to Share Share this program with: Someone who is fearful or confused about artificial intelligence. An entrepreneur wondering how AI might strengthen a business without compromising its humanity. A teacher, pastor, coach, or broadcaster with wisdom that deserves a larger audience. A friend who has always wanted to write a book but does not know how to begin. A person entering a new season of life who may be ready to turn experience into service. And share this question: What good thing could you begin today that might continue helping people long after you are gone? Things to Take Action On Identify your audience. Write down the people you feel called to help and the transformation you hope they will experience. Choose one piece of enduring wisdom. Record a five-minute explanation of something life has taught you. Use AI as an assistant. Ask it to help transcribe, organize, or refine your words, but carefully review the result so the final work remains truthful and recognizably yours. Turn one form of communication into another. Convert a talk into an article, a podcast into a chapter, or a book chapter into a short video. Examine your own transformation. Ask what must change in you before you can credibly help transform someone else. Be the cause of good stuff. Do one practical thing today that makes another person's life better, wiser, richer, braver, or more hopeful. The Final Challenge Artificial intelligence will undoubtedly transform many occupations, industries, institutions, and methods of communication. But Stan Hustad leaves his audience with a more personal and consequential challenge. Do not merely ask whether AI will transform the world. Ask whether you will use it to become more fully alive, to serve your audience more faithfully, and to create something that matters. Speak well. Seek truth. Create good. Help others. Begin something worth continuing. That may be how artificial intelligence contributes to human transformation, and how an ordinary human life acquires a genuine touch of immortality.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with therapist and InnerEthics® founder Kylea Taylor about why responsible psychedelic therapy requires more than good intentions. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-373/?ref=278 Kylea explains why non-ordinary states can amplify intimacy, vulnerability, countertransference, and practitioner blind spots. She presents ethics as an ongoing practice of self-inquiry, restraint, and right relationship rather than a set of rules consulted only after something goes wrong. Paul and Kylea also examine personal experience as preparation for facilitation, the complexities of touch and consent, the meaning of inner healing intelligence, and why compassionate peer consultation is essential for anyone holding space in psychedelic work. Kylea Taylor, M.S., LMFT, is a California licensed therapist and the founder of InnerEthics®, a self-reflective approach to relational ethics taught in breathwork and psychedelic practitioner trainings. A certified Holotropic Breathwork® facilitator, she served as a senior trainer with Dr. Stanislav Grof throughout the 1990s. Kylea is the author of The Ethics of Caring and Peer Consultation Groups & Ethical Awareness Tools for Psychedelic Practitioners. She also co-founded SoulCollage®, helping train more than 6,000 facilitators across 63 countries. Highlights: Why non-ordinary states amplify ethical challenges Self-awareness and the practitioner's blind spots Whether facilitators need personal experience with altered states Touch, consent, and client autonomy in psychedelic therapy Supporting inner healing intelligence without over-intervening Recognizing transference and countertransference Right relationship as a practical ethical compass Peer consultation and compassionate accountability Watch the full conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/CmLVfgTpgrc Connect with Kylea: InnerEthics® KyleaTaylor.com Kylea Taylor's books InnerEthics® on Instagram Kylea Taylor on LinkedIn Episode Sponsors: SSRI Deprescribing & Psychedelic Readiness Training with Dr. Dave Rabin Disclaimer: This content is for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only.

Reading research and actually understanding what it means for the patient in front of you are two VERY different things.And there may be nobody in pelvic health better at bridging that gap than Taryn Hallam.Taryn has essentially made research translation her full-time job—reading the enormous amount of pelvic health research being published and asking:What does this actually mean in the clinic?Because the abstract doesn't always tell the whole story.As Taryn puts it, the abstract is like the trailer for a movie. Sometimes the trailer accurately represents the movie. And sometimes...all the best parts were in the trailer.

Want to study Islam, but not sure where to begin? Or perhaps you have started before, only to lose consistency once life gets busy. AMAU Academy gives you a clear place to learn authentic Islamic knowledge at your own pace, with structured programmes, a supportive community, and help whenever you need it. You do not need the perfect plan. Start with what you want to learn, take the next step, and keep going - even if it is only a little each day.

When was the last time you opened a beneficial book, and enjoyed reading it so much that didn't want to put it down? Some of us may wonder if that's even possible, right? We have never had more Islamic content within reach. Lectures. Clips. Podcasts. Posts. Endless information. Yet somewhere in all of it, many of us have lost something the great scholars of this Ummah considered indispensable: a genuine love for reading. In Falling in Love With Reading, Sheikh Muhammad Huzaifah takes us through the lives of scholars whose relationship with books was completely different. They read and reread. Copied books by hand. Taught them repeatedly. Travelled with them. Books did not merely occupy their shelves - they became among their closest companions. This series is not simply about encouraging Muslims to read more. It is about rebuilding a relationship with reading that nurtures your Iman, deepens your understanding, raises your ambition, and helps you become a serious student of knowledge. And Episode 1 confronts us with a striking thought: If Ibn al-Jawzi was already warning about declining ambition more than 800 years ago, what would he say about an age of constant notifications, social media, endless entertainment and short-form content?

It's the return of Food Writers Talking About Food Writing. Every couple of weeks, Matt invites a journalist to talk about some favorite recent food writing as well as their thoughts on the industry as a whole. Dana Brown was a fixture of Vanity Fair's Oscar-party machine and Graydon Carter's inner circle for more than two decades before writing it all down in his memoir, Dilettante. He returns to the studio with a new job: editor in chief of Caper, the scoop-driven media start-up applying a Puck-style power-and-money lens to restaurants, chefs, and the food business. In this episode, we talk about economics at The Grill, the Keith McNally legacy, and what's good in the world of Caper.

We've been learning that work is good, because God works. But God also rests, so we are commanded to rest as well. Jesus frequently was criticized, however, for not doing it ‘right.' In light of what Jesus did and taught, how are we supposed to take sabbath today? Pastor Luke teaches from Mark 2:23-3:6 in "Touch Grass," the concluding message in his series, "Vocation Vacation."

Episode 1021 exposes a $6 million Republican ad campaign that manipulated grieving parents of murder victims into unknowingly slandering North Carolina Senate candidate Roy Cooper with lies their own children's killers had nothing to do with. Driftglass and Blue Gal trace how this fits a decades-old pattern — Fox News and Hate Radio building a toxic "coal ash pond" of propaganda so complete that facts bounce off true believers, illustrated by journalist Barton Gellman's failed attempt to fact-check a January 6th supporter into reality. The episode contrasts that with Illinois' actual record — credit rating upgrades, record tourism, real economic gains — that MAGA voters refuse to acknowledge no matter how much evidence piles up. It's about what happens when lies become load-bearing walls in people's minds, and why no amount of truth can dislodge them once they're structural.Links for this episode:  Question Everything Link:  https://www.kcrw.com/shows/question-everything/stories/3-the-journalist-and-the-firefighterGellman Atlantic Link: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/01/january-6-insurrection-trump-coup-2024-election/620843/News and Observer Link:  https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/election/article317086926.htmlCapitol News Link: https://capitolnewsillinois.com/news/sp-global-upgrades-illinois-credit-rating/Links for this episode: Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Send us Fan MailToday I'm joined by Aaron Johnson — public speaker, facilitator, filmmaker, and touch activist whose work centers on the emotional and relational lives of Black men. Aaron is the founder of The Chronically UnderTouched Project — the CUT Project — and the director of Dark and Tender, an 18-minute documentary that follows ten Black men during a retreat on Whidbey Island, Washington. It has been called one of the most quietly revolutionary pieces of film in the healing space right now.Aaron's work begins with a simple and devastating observation: that Black men in America are among the most chronically touch-deprived people in our culture — and that this deprivation has profound consequences for mental health, emotional regulation, nervous system health, and the capacity for genuine connection and community. The CUT Project exists to change that.What we cover:The Black brute archetype — the deeply entrenched cultural narrative of Black men as dangerous, aggressive, and hypersexualized, how it has been constructed and maintained, and what it costs Black men to live inside itMaking Dark and Tender — what it took for Aaron, as both director and facilitator, to create the conditions of genuine safety that allowed ten Black men to be soft, tender, and vulnerable on camera — and why that safety was everythingThe retreat  — what actually happened in the room: men tucking each other in, holding hands, singing, walking barefoot on the earth together, and the extraordinary range of men who showed up — different ages, economic backgrounds, sexualities, and life experiencesWhy diversity within the group was essential — how having a 24-year-old and a 77-year-old, cis and queer and trans men, men from very different economic circumstances, all in the same space together was not incidental but deeply intentionalWhy this footage matters — how seeing tender Black masculinity documented and made visible begins to create an alternative to the Black brute narrative in our cultural imagination, and why representation at this level is genuinely transformativeThe ripple effects — how the film is already moving through the world, the conversations it is opening, the permission it is giving, and why Aaron believes the impact will continue to spreadListening as the first hug — Aaron's understanding of what genuine attunement and presence offer, and why being truly heard is itself a form of touchThe resonance between Aaron's work and the nervous system — what chronic touch deprivation does to a body, and what happens physiologically when that deprivation begins to be addressedWatch 9 minute preview of Dark and Tender: cutproject.org/tenderAaron's invitation: If this conversation moved you, share the film.

https://teachhoops.com/ Title: What Should You Do Every Single Day At Practice, No Matter What? Subtitle: The daily non-negotiables that build habits while everybody else is chasing new drills Show Notes Every coach has a list of things they mean to get to. Then the season starts, the schedule tightens, and suddenly it's January and you realize your team has not been drilled on the same thing twice. In this one, Coach Collins walks through the handful of things that should show up in your practice plan every day, from the first day of tryouts to the last game you play. Not because they're flashy. Because they're the stuff that decides games in March. What we get into: Start with a purpose your players can repeat. If they can't tell you what today's practice was about on the way to the locker room, it wasn't about anything. Touch the ball early. Some form of skill work, every day, before the legs and the attention are gone. Compete at something. Score it, keep track, let there be a winner. Habits built in comfortable air don't hold up under pressure. Teach one detail, not ten. One correction taught well beats a full clipboard of things you mentioned once. End on a standard, not a whistle. Free throws, a closeout, a defensive rep, something that says here's who we are. Say one player's name for the right reason. Costs you nothing. Changes how a kid walks into the gym tomorrow. Coach also talks about the trap of the "perfect" practice plan, why your daily list should fit on an index card, and what to cut when the gym time gets shortened and you've only got forty minutes.
