If you've ever had sex you didn't really want to have— to avoid awkwardness, not hurt your partner's feelings or just get it over with—this episode is for you. We're joined by Claire Perelman, a Queer, Jewish, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist based in the Bay Area who specializes in working with queer, poly, and kink communities. Claire breaks down what it really means to “push through” during sex, why so many of us do it (even when we know we don't want to), and how to start honoring your boundaries without guilt, shutdown, or shame. We cover: What “pushing through” actually means and why it's so common. We define what it looks like to override your body's signals during sex and why so many women and femmes have been conditioned to tolerate discomfort in the name of connection. How to stop saying yes when your body is screaming no. Claire offers practical tools for tuning into your physical cues, catching freeze responses, and recognizing when you're dissociating mid-sex. Why “not wanting sex” isn't a problem to fix. Spoiler: Your desire isn't broken. We explore how shame, performance pressure, and people-pleasing distort our understanding of healthy sexual agency. How to say no without apologizing or over-explaining. From scripts to mindset shifts, Claire gives you real-life ways to assert your boundaries without guilt. The nervous system's role in sexual shutdown. We talk about what happens biologically when you freeze or dissociate and how to gently regulate your nervous system so you can feel safe again. When sex feels painful or uncomfortable (and you just go with it anyway). Claire gets real about the internalized messages that normalize discomfort and how to unlearn them especially if you've ever endured pain just to avoid awkwardness. How to rebuild intimacy after breaking your own boundaries. If you've pushed through in the past, you're not alone. Claire walks us through how to reconnect with yourself and rebuild trust in your own “no.” Why pleasure requires choice—not obligation. True intimacy comes from wanting to be there. We unpack how to create space for real, enthusiastic consent in your sex life.

In this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Newark, NJ Mayor Ras Baraka is taking legal action against one of Donald Trump’s top attorneys after being arrested while trying to inspect an ICE facility in his city. The arrest, which Baraka and his legal team call unlawful and politically motivated, has reignited conversations around immigration, oversight, and abuse of power. Meanwhile, hip-hop star Offset sparked headlines after deleting his social media accounts in response to public backlash over his son’s new hairstyle—allegedly mimicking Cardi B’s rumored boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. Offset was reportedly furious about the resemblance and chose to go offline after expressing his frustration. Also in the mix, Kanye West is once again reflecting publicly—this time on his fractured friendship with Jay-Z. In a since-deleted tweet, Ye confessed he dreams about apologizing to his former mentor, suggesting he may be open to reconciliation after years of tension and controversial behavior. And finally, in a move that could impact the U.S. auto and manufacturing industries, former President Donald Trump has signed an executive order doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%. The move has drawn sharp criticism from economists and automakers alike for its potential to raise consumer prices and disrupt supply chains.

Break the Habit of Over-Apologizing and step into a more confident, self-respecting way of communicating. Many emotionally sensitive people find themselves saying "sorry" out of habit—whether for voicing an opinion, taking up space, or even things beyond their control. In the audiobook "The Emotionally Sensitive Person: Finding Peace When Your Emotions Overwhelm You," Karyn D. Hall explores how excessive apologies can shape your self-perception, influence relationships, and create unintended feelings of powerlessness. This audiobook excerpt uncovers the hidden costs of over-apologizing, how it may be affecting the way others perceive you, and what you can do to break the cycle. Discover how to set healthier boundaries, express yourself with confidence, and embrace a more authentic way of connecting with others. The post Break the Habit of Over-Apologizing appeared first on Your Great Journey.

Trust forms the foundation of leadership, functioning like a bank account where we make deposits through positive actions and withdrawals through negative behaviors.• Trust requires doing what you say, saying what you do, and being authentically human in all interactions• It often takes "99 attaboys to make up for one aw crap moment" in leadership• When trust is broken, asking for forgiveness isn't enough—behavior change is essential• Apologizing without changing behavior is like "patching a bucket while still running water into it"• The Platinum Rule suggests treating others how they want to be treated, not just how you want to be treated• Building trust requires consistent deposits that accumulate interest over timeShare this episode with someone who needs to hear it and leave a five-star review to help more uncommon leaders discover this message.

This led to the constant opposing feelings of wanting to take big action AND being afraid of what others will have to say about it.It was in my late 30s that I finally decided I'm DONE apologizing for being who I am and chasing after what I want.Would you believe that THAT was when my business finally began to see tremendous growth?!Want to learn how you can generate launch-sized revenue from your online course without launching?

For us to have the kind of relationships and impact we truly want to have - as leaders, parents, friends, spouses, family members and more - apologizing and forgiving are essential.  These things, however, can be challenging for a variety of reasons.  On this episode, I talk about some of what gets in the way of us being able to effectively apologize and forgive.  I then share some specific things we can do to make it more conducive for these things to happen authentically in our relationships, within our families, and on our teams.   Resources: We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky

Tony and Bre Wood, hosts of the Date Night with the Woods podcast, join E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to discuss their new book on marriage and family. The idea for the book came after a publisher, inspired by their podcast, suggested they put their insights into writing. Writing the book deepened their understanding of marriage's sanctifying nature, allowing them to laugh at past challenges and reflect on how God uses marriage for holiness rather than just happiness.The guys, along with Tony and Bre, talk about marriage as a tool for sanctification, fulfilling God's call for companionship and mutual growth. They encourage couples to view marriage as a lifelong friendship, prioritizing the needs of their spouse and embracing selflessness over personal gain. Bre highlights the importance of discipleship for wives, urging women to seek guidance from older, godly mentors. Feminist ideals often conflict with biblical roles, creating competition instead of support within marriages. Bre and Tony share how scripture and discipleship transformed their own relationship.Selfishness undermines marriage. Couples are encouraged to say something encouraging to their spouse daily, celebrate small victories, and build a framework for forgiveness. Intentionality is key—valuable relationships require work, prayer, and scripture. Tony shared a personal practice of writing thoughts about his day on his arm to share with Bre, illustrating the importance of thoughtfulness. They also stress the importance of conflict resolution, addressing issues like finances or resentment constructively and without delay.For wives who feel their efforts won't matter unless their husband changes, Bre advises looking to Christ's example of love. Husbands should model sacrificial leadership, laying down their lives in small ways to reflect Christ's love. Obedience to God is central. Repentance, confession, and grace can heal even deeply strained marriages, with the gospel at the center of reconciliation. Tony and Bre highlight how marriage impacts parenting and family life. A gospel-centered marriage provides a solid foundation for raising children. Bre shares how modeling forgiveness and scriptural authority has positively shaped their children's understanding of family and faith. Apologizing to children when wrong demonstrates what it means to live with God at the center.God's grace will sustain through weaknesses, and the guys, along with Tony and Bre, encourage couples to lean on the gospel, community, and Christ's transformative power in every aspect of marriage and family life.Send us a textThanks for listening!
