Podcasts about touch

Driftglass and Blue Gal bring their epic year-in-review series to a close, covering September through December and finally boxing up 2025 to send it to hell. The hosts examine the final months of a year that saw legacy media trapped in their own 'Both Sides Do It' prison, DOGE's promises evaporate into nothing, and the Epstein files get a (incompetent, but still) cover up.  But there's also hope in this finale—a massive Blue Wave in November's elections, governors standing up to federal overreach, and signs that Trump's floor might finally be cracking. As they close out the longest decade of their lives, Driftglass and Blue Gal thank their listeners for sticking with facts, empathy, and each other through a year when all three were under constant assault.h/t @markeymarx on Bluesky for the cover artwork More at proleftpod.com.  Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodor Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Law enforcement Explorer programs were created to mentor teens interested in policing. But decades of weak oversight created an environment where officers could manipulate that trust. Some exploited their roles, using their authority to groom, abuse, and silence the very teens they were entrusted to guide.Resources:RAINN – Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network: 24/7 hotline and resources for survivors of sexual assault and abuse.

Visitmalesurvivor.orgStaying Safe in Youth Law Enforcement Programs:If you or your child is involved in a Police Explorer program – or any youth mentorship run by law enforcement – there are steps you can take to reduce risk and create safer boundaries.Ask direct questions. Who runs the program? What are the policies around texting, ride-alongs, and one-on-one interactions? Are there rules that limit contact between adult officers and minors outside of scheduled events?Insist on transparency. Reputable programs should have clear, written guidelines about communication, supervision, and conduct. Ask to see them.Monitor ride-alongs. Know who your child is riding with, how long they're gone, and what the reporting procedures are.Watch the tech. Officers or advisors should never be Snapchatting, DMing, or texting minors privately. Monitor app usage and discuss healthy boundaries.Get involved. Show up to meetings. Get to know the adults running the program. Your presence as a parent or guardian helps make the space safer for everyone.Keep communication open. Let your child know they can talk to you about anything -- especially if something makes them uncomfortable. Make it clear that they won't be in trouble for speaking up.Getting Help:If you or someone you know has experienced abuse in a Police Explorer or similar youth program, here's what to do:Believe them. If a child or teen discloses abuse, believe what they say. Stay calm, listen, and affirm that it's not their fault. Praise them for coming forward.Report it. If the child is in danger, call 911. Otherwise, contact your local police, sheriff's department, or state child protection agency. If you're concerned local police might have a conflict of interest, contact your state police, state attorney general, or the FBI.Document/preserve everything. Save messages, screenshots, call logs — anything that could help support the report.Seek emotional support: Abuse by a trusted adult is incredibly disorienting. You and/or your child deserve compassionate care from someone trained in trauma -- like a therapist, school counselor, or crisis line advocate.Connect with survivor resources. Many organizations offer specialized support for young people.Consult legal counsel: Some survivors explore civil legal action against individuals or institutions. An attorney familiar with institutional abuse cases can help assess your options.Red Flags: Signs of Grooming or Abuse in Explorer Programs:Abuse by authority figures often begins with grooming -- a gradual, often-subtle process that builds trust before violating it. Here are common warning signs in youth law enforcement programs:“Special” treatment. One teen is singled out for attention, gifts, mentorship, or exclusive opportunities not given to others.Excessive one-on-one contact. Repeated private ride-alongs, late-night messages, or invitations to hang out off-duty.Private communication. The adult uses personal texting apps, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, or other unmonitored channels to talk to a minor.Overstepping/blurring boundaries. Inappropriate compliments, jokes about relationships, or sharing personal details not appropriate for a mentor-mentee dynamic.Isolation. The adult discourages the teen from talking to others about their relationship or makes the teen feel responsible for their secrecy.Gaslighting or guilt. The adult blames the teen for misunderstandings, manipulates their emotions, or makes them feel they'll “ruin someone's life” if they speak out.Physical contact. Touch that's unnecessary, prolonged, or makes the teen uncomfortable -- even if it's framed as casual or accidental. You can learn more about The Good segment and even submit a story of your own by visiting The Good page on our website! Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

Welcome back to Bri Books! When you're hosting, choosing wine can feel daunting. Whether it's a dinner party, work event, last-minute gathering, or impromptu holiday shenanigans, here's the simple framework I rely on that never fails. In this episode, we'll cover: The three-bottle wine buying formula (red, white, wildcard) How to taste wine at home: My 4 Pillars of Place: Temperature, Terrain, Soil, and Touch How to build a wine list for parties or dinner How to Build a Wine Menu: Bri's 3-Bottle Formula To avoid overwhelm at the wine shop, use this formula: One white wine One red wine One wildcard. That's it. Simple, flexible, and stress free. Let's dig in: Crisp white as the Opener. This white wine is your opener—the bottle people drink while they arrive, settle in, chat, and snack. White wins are crisp, flexible, and food-friendly. I look for wines with high acidity and good minimality, the kind that leave you gently puckering and refreshed. A crisp white wine creates an immediate sense of ease and joy at the table. My go-to white wine categories: Chablis Gruner Vetliner Albrino Sauv blanc, from Loire Why this works: These wines pair well with almost anything: cheese, vegetables, oysters, seafood They don't overpower food They make excellent aperitif wines They set the tone for the meal by brightening flavors and waking up the palette Red wine as the main event. Your red wine is your main event. You're looking for a crowd-pleaser that's food friendly, adaptable, and easy to drink. it can be tempting to bring a big, heavy, dramatic, oak-driven red-but gatherings call for something more communal. Look for reds with: Medium body moderate tannins high drinkability Red wines I recommend: Boujulais Tempranillo (especially rioja joven) Etna Rosso reds Cotes du Rhone These red wines shine with soups and stews, tomato based dishes, roasted vegetables, poultry, and cozy winter meals. The wildcard: the personality hire wine. Go for an orange wine, a sparkling red like Lambrusco, a pet-nat, or a liter bottle of something fabulous and weird like a Madiera dessert wine. Bubbles are always a win. A dessert wine course moves your guests through the final stages of the evening, and a liter bottle keeps things flowing. Use the wildcard to spark conversation about what there wine comes from, how it's made, and why it tastes the way it does.   How to Do an At-Home Wine Tasting Using the 4 Pillars of Place My 4 pillars framework helps you understand where your wine comes from, even without the label. Temperature: Look at the wine. Color intensity can give you climate clues. Terroir: Smell the wine. Aromas reflect whether grapes grew near the sea, mountains, forests, or plains ltitude = floral, lifted flavors Warm climate = ripe, deeply drinkable Coastal = salty, breezy, fresh finish Mountain = Sharp, linear, mineral Valley floor = lush, smooth Volcanic = smoky, stony, earthy flavors Soil: Taste the wine. Texture reveals the soil type. As a reminder: limestone = chalky, saline wine Volcanic = smoky, ashy flavors in the wine Granite = crunchy, bright, often 'cool' flavors in the wine Clay = smooth, plush, slightly pucker-y in flavor High a Touch: Notice winemaking styl. Is it bright? Clean? Raw? Heavy sediment? Is it sharp? Does it grip? Touch is the easiest pillar to learn and the quickest path to understanding what you like.

Episode 175, The Wisdom of Touch: Listening to the Body's Path to Healing with JenikaWhat if healing didn't start with fixing—but with feeling?In this episode of Rising Inner Shift, I sit down with my friend Jenika, a certified massotherapist (CMT) who has been practicing since 2014 and offering in-home massage experiences designed to meet clients where they feel safest—physically and emotionally.Jenika is also the founder of The Self-Care Bully, a brand created to remind us that caring for ourselves is not a luxury, but a necessity. Her approach to massage therapy goes far beyond relaxation, focusing instead on nervous system regulation, intentional touch, and the body's innate capacity to heal when it feels safe and supported.Together, we explore how stress, trauma, and emotions are stored in the body, why so many high-achieving women feel disconnected from their physical selves, and how body-based practices can help restore trust, presence, and balance.✨ In this episode, you'll discover:How the body holds onto emotional and energetic experiencesWhy nervous system regulation is foundational to healingThe deeper role of massage therapy beyond muscle reliefHow in-home, intentional touch can support emotional releaseSimple ways to reconnect with your body in everyday lifeIf you've been living in your head, pushing through stress, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode is a gentle invitation to slow down and listen.

Driftglass and Blue Gal continue their review of 2025, covering May through August in this second part of their series. The hosts show how the Republican Party's corruption and chaos isn't something new or unexpected—it's exactly what the party has been building toward for decades through right-wing talk radio and Fox News. They walk through major events from those months, including media companies giving in to Trump's demands, the White House deleting official transcripts, federal agents being sent into cities, and military honors given to January 6th rioters. Throughout the episode, Driftglass and Blue Gal make clear that this disaster didn't happen by accident—Republicans got exactly what they voted for three times, and now everyone is living with the results.More at proleftpod.com.  Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodor Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Some of the most common respiratory myths are still showing up at the bedside. But it's not your fault — most of us were never taught what an oxygenation problem versus a ventilation problem looks like in real time.In this episode, Melody Bishop RT explains how respiratory therapists think through oxygenation and ventilation to choose the right intervention and recognize when a patient is ready to breathe on their own. We're calling out the old dogma and myths that can delay treatment and worsen patient outcomes!Topics discussed in this episode:Ventilation vs. oxygenation: the core building blocksV/Q mismatch explainedABG findings for low-flow vs. high-flow vs. BiPAPWhen CO₂ is the problem and the benefits of BiPAPKey indicators it's time to intubate and the dangers of waitingThe myth of resting patients on ventilationHow to accurately assess spontaneous breathing trialsCOPD, oxygen, and the hypoxic drive mythWhat nurses should know about working with RTsConnect with Melody:https://melodybishoprt.com/Mentioned in this episode:Xshears are the best shearscheck em out here: https://xshear.com//discount/Rapid10 and you can use code RAPID10 to get 10% off your purchaseAND If you are planning to sit for your CCRN and would like to take the Critical Care Academy CCRN prep course you can visit https://www.ccrnacademy.com and use coupon code RAPID10 to get 10% off the cost of the course!CONNECT

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It's Juliette here, and today I'm joined by the deeply attuned Michael Edwards.In this conversation, we speak about staying with yourself, especially in love. We explore authenticity beyond personality, the subtle ways self abandonment shows up, and what it takes to remain centered when intimacy asks more of you.We touch grief, nervous system safety, and the courage to stop shrinking, even when it would be easier to be chosen than to be true.This is about holding your own field, feeling fully, and letting love meet you without leaving yourself behind. Let yourself feel what opens as you listen.Episode Summary In this episode, Michael and I move through what it means to stay with yourself, especially in love. We speak about authenticity beyond personality, the quiet ways self abandonment creeps in, and the moment you choose truth over being chosen. We touch grief, nervous system safety, energetic sovereignty, and the power that returns when you stop managing yourself and start listening to your body. This conversation invites you back to your center, your lived truth, and the part of you that was never meant to be negotiated.Key Takeaways Staying With Yourself Is the WorkWhen you stop leaving your center to be chosen, something steadies. Love no longer pulls you off your axis.Authenticity Is an Energetic TruthNot a personality, not a performance. A frequency you live from, or don't.Grief Is a GatewayWhen you let yourself feel it fully, without story or collapse, the body reorganises around truth.Self Abandonment Is SubtleIt hides in silence, in softening your edges, in managing yourself to keep connection.Safety Is Built From the InsideNot through control or strategy, but through presence, honesty, and staying when it gets tender.Power Lives in the CenterWhen you stop chasing and return to yourself, life meets you there.Resources and Links

What happens when a medication designed to help you lose weight also changes what brings you pleasure?In this solo episode, I'm doing a deep dive into what nobody's discussing about GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) and what they do to your sex life.These medications have been absolutely transformational for metabolic disease, obesity, and cardiovascular health. But they don't just work on your gut and pancreas they work centrally in your brain, in your reward pathways, in your pleasure centers.I'm sharing stories from my practice: the glamorous patient who suddenly didn't want to shop anymore. The wine connoisseur who lost interest in drinking. The foodies who can't stand restaurants. And yes, the patients whose sexual desire completely disappeared because their brain stopped experiencing reward the same way.Highlights:Why GLP-1 medications are actually anti-inflammatory powerhouses (and what that means for PCOS, endometriosis, even PGAD).How these drugs modulate dopamine and serotonin the same pathways that control sexual desire.Why improving body image doesn't always improve sexual function (the biopsychosocial model).The emerging science on GLP-1s reducing alcohol cravings, substance use, and compulsive behaviors.What SHBG changes mean for your free testosterone and libido.Why your brain doesn't compartmentalize pleasure food, shopping, alcohol, and sex all use the same reward circuits.The informed consent conversation every doctor should be having (but isn't).If you're on a GLP-1 medication or considering starting one, ask your doctor about how it might affect what brings you pleasure including sex. With great power comes great responsibility, and sexual health is health.

Boots-on-the-ground journalist Salena Zito, sits down with Bridget to discuss the gaping chasm between online discourse and the reality of heartland America, Salena's eyewitness account of the Butler rally shooting from her position just feet away from President Trump, and his inspiring response to her question days later about why he said, “Fight, fight, fight.” They cover the cultural betrayals that tanked Bud Light and the NFL, the quiet resurgence of faith among young people, why Trump's visit to East Palestine, OH was the moment Salena knew he was going to be reelected, old-school journalistic integrity, what's changed in media, and how place, community, and sheer resilience still quietly decide elections.

I'm sitting here in front of two of my favorite items that I don't get to use often enough. More on that in emails. But the thing I think is important and useful for you today is two things that you need to master. Really really really just two things you need to master. They're big things but you do need to master them.   And one of those two things is you have to learn to master self. Self is the physical self. Paying attention, having awareness, having understanding of what to do, when to do it, and how to solve it. Really, self is learning a lot about what your human form, your body, is capable of or not capable of and what you can do about it. That's a big part of self. That's physical.   Mental. How do you think? Are you a more positive thinker? Are you a more negative thinker? That's huge. It's really huge. Are you too positive? I call it happy happying. You can't happy your way into everything being fine, but you can be more optimistic.   Three: physical, mental, emotional. What is your emotional? Emotional is how you respond, how you react, and how you adapt. Respond, react, and adapt. And emotional is going to tie into the physical and it's going to tie into the mental. And the emotional is the thing that we are taught really the least about. I mean, think about it. Therapy is one of the biggest industries these days. People on medication for their emotional state is one of the biggest industries in pharmaceuticals at least here in the United States. And that's a huge issue. We have to learn how to deal with our emotions if we're going to take another step forward.   So that's physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. We have to have our own spiritual ideas and bent no matter where you are in your journey. I've had every type of spiritual, high level spiritual person that I have worked with to help them grow or expand their offering. And one of them I helped build a community from a few hundred to 500,000. So physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. And that person was very spiritual.   Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relational. How do you relate? Do you communicate or do you keep everything inside, stored up and just a mess? Because relational is what you do to others, for others in your mind, and when you speak and when you write and when you interact with social media.   So you've got physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relational, and then you've got financial. I tend to focus on the financial because I can have a giant impact there when I work with people. But your financial is a result of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relational. Your financial is always a result of those things working into an alignment to an end result. Some people will say, "Oh, it's about vibration." Some people will say it's about whatever.   So those are the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relational, financial. Six areas. And that's mastery.   Now, there's one other piece of mastery that's essential that I talk about and teach about and share about and preach about, which is energy. And I'm not talking about the energy out here. And I'm not talking about frequency. I'm talking about the energy you have inside here that radiates outside here that somebody can feel, that you can feel around somebody else. Those two things, if you match yourself and energy, will radically shift your entire way of being.   I thought that would be useful for you today. And one of the things to work on is to pay attention to the areas that you're having difficulty with.

There's a kind of weight no workout, diet, or discipline can touch.In this episode, Lisa Barwise introduces Armour Weight™ — the physical, hormonal, emotional, and energetic weight women carry after years of survival, over-giving, and pushing through.If you've been doing “everything right” but still feel stuck, heavy, exhausted, or disconnected — this conversation will change how you understand your body.In this episode, we explore:What Armour Weight™ actually is (and why it's not fat, failure, or lack of willpower)Why women stay stuck despite training, eating well, and “trying harder”The link between burnout, perimenopause, shame, and people-pleasingHow chronic stress and survival mode reshape the body and metabolismWhy willpower tightens armour — and what actually releases itLisa's personal story of burnout, vertigo, COVID, pressure, and coming home to herselfThe nervous system as the missing link in lasting transformation“Some weight lives on the body.Some weight lives in the bones.”This episode is an invitation to stop fighting your body — and start listening to it.

Marc "Moose" Malusis dives deep into the high-stakes world of New York basketball, debating whether the Knicks have finally assembled the roster to end a half-century championship drought. Moose weighs in on the Leon Rose era, praising the front office for building a sustainable winner while questioning if the blockbuster deal for Mikal Bridges was a stroke of genius or a massive overpay. Responding to anxious callers, Moose preaches patience and warns against "blowing it all" on a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, arguing that the Knicks' current chemistry is their greatest weapon. Whether you're a die-hard who remembers the Patrick Ewing glory days or a new fan caught up in the current hype, Moose breaks down why this "painting" isn't finished yet—but it's already looking like a work of art.

#324: If you've ever wondered what it really takes to build a multimillion-dollar brand from scratch — beyond the polished Instagram posts and the "overnight success" stories — this conversation is for you. Today I'm sitting down with Siff Haider, co-founder of Arrae and host of the Dream Bigger podcast, who turned wedding savings into a $100M wellness empire while keeping her sanity, her marriage, and her authenticity intact.Siff gets refreshingly real about the unglamorous early days: bootstrapping, sounding like "two little bitches" on investor calls (her dad's words, not mine), and sweating through her first podcast recording. She shares the mindset shifts that helped her step into her power, why she treats customers like influencers, and how she built a team of 33 people who care as deeply as she does.This episode is for you if:You're building something and terrified of looking cringeYou're trying to figure out when to take funding (and how much)You want to understand how to scale without losing your soulYou're navigating the balance between data and intuition as a founderYou're curious about building a personal brand that's bigger than your businessIf you enjoyed this episode, leave us five stars — I heard that if you rate the show five stars, something lucky happens.
