In this episode, our hosts dive into R.F. Kuang's explosive novel Yellowface, a messy, chaotic, and painfully accurate takedown of the publishing world. The ladies unpack June Hayward's wild decision to steal a dead woman's manuscript, the delusion that carries her into literary fame, and the way the industry protects, rewards, and excuses certain voices over others.They break down the book's themes of cultural appropriation, white feminism, internet backlash, and how far people will go to be seen as “the good one” while doing the absolute most.  It's sharp, it's unhinged, and it had the ladies yelling at the pages. So pull up, grab your beverage, and get into this conversation. Cheers!*Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen chapter 21, narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on Patreon and support me as an independent creator :D⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/join⁠Summary:The following day, when the Palmers have finally left them, and Elanor feels that she can finally relax, Sir John and Mrs. Jennings have found 2 more guests to keep everyone occupied. The Miss Steele's are apparently some relations of Mrs Jennings, and everyone is thus forced to be very welcoming. The girls however appear to be fantastic guests, doting dutifully on the Middleton children. When the Dashwood's arrive at the Park, they note that the youngest of the Steele's, Lucy, is very pretty, and that the eldest, seems very noble. One of the Middleton children gets hurt, and Lady Middleton takes her children away to calm them and leaves the Steeles and the Dashwoods alone. The Steeles go to compliment the Middleton family, and Marianne calls upon Elanor to play along, as Marianne is certain that she cannot lie. The eldest Steele girl seems to be very direct, and her sister, Lucy tries to cover up her sister's mistakes in politeness. The eldest Steele girl talks about the lack of beautiful men in the area, and the Dashwoods are very put off by this talk. The Steele's seem to want to get better acquainted with the Dashwoods, to the Dashwoods' dislike…The Steele's talk of Marianne's engagement to Willoughby, and it comes out that Sir John had mentioned the relationship between Edward Ferrars and Elanor. While initially vexed, when she finds out that the Steele's know Edward, Elanor tries to find out what they know about it. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

Most men don't fail because they lack talent or opportunity, they fail because they keep doing dumb things they should've outgrown years ago.Trying to fix everyone.Escaping with alcohol, weed, or porn.Clinging to old identities that no longer serve them.Needing approval.Arguing with idiots.Obsessing over control.Believing they need to have life “all figured out.”In today's episode of the Bedros Keuilian Show, I break down the 7 stupid things men over 30 must stop doing if they want peace, confidence, and real momentum in their life.This isn't motivational fluff.It's hard-earned truth from decades of building businesses, getting punched in the face by life, and learning what actually matters.You don't need another shortcut.You don't need validation.You don't need to control everything.You need discipline, self-respect, and the willingness to let go of what's holding you back.DOMINATION DOWNLOADSTRAIGHT FROM THE DESK OF BEDROS KEUILIANYour weekly no B.S. newsletter to help you dominate in business and in lifehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/MAN UP SCALE BUNDLE: $29 (100% Goes to Charity)Get your Digital Man Up book + Audiobook + 2 Exclusive MASTERCLASSES & Support Shriners Children's Hospital. https://www.manuptribe.com/limited-offerREGISTER FOR THE LEGACY TRIBEGet the Life, Money, Meaning & Impact You Deservehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/legacytribeJOIN MY FREE 6-WEEK CHALLENGE:Transform into a Purpose-Driven Manhttps://bedroskeuilian.com/challengeTHE SQUIRE PROGRAM: A rite of Passage for Your Son as He Becomes a ManA Father and Son Experience That Will Be Remembered FOREVERhttps://squireprogram.com/registerTruLean Supplements | https://www.trulean.com/pages/bedrosGet 50% Off Trulean Subscribe & Save BundleUse Code: BEDROS Few Will Hunt Apparel | https://fewwillhunt.com/Get 20% Off Your Entire OrderUse Code: BEDROSOPEN A FIT BODY LOCATIONA High-Profit, Scalable Gym Franchise Opportunity Driven By Impacthttps://sales.fbbcfranchise.com/get-started?utm_source=bedrosPODCAST EPISODES:https://bedroskeuilian.com/podcast/STAY CONNECTED:Website | https://bedroskeuilian.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bedroskeuilian/LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bedroskeuilianTwitter | https://twitter.com/bedroskeuilian

Flannel Man, Mantids, Greys, and a three year retreat disguised as an illness and bed-ridden surrender. Plus, the first course in the Mystery School for the BrokenHearted is here. Today on the podcast, I welcome Courtney Buterbough. Courtney is an empath, spiritual seeker, and lifelong experiencer of anomalous phenomena, but it wasn't until she became severely ill with long Covid in 2020 and began a profound spiritual awakening that she started to have conscious contact, and finally became aware of the broad story of her experiences. All of this has sparked a deep passion in Courtney for experiencer stories, and an interest in using her skills as a mystic, creative, former doula, and inheritor of a familial-based folk magic tradition to be a help to those who are also doing the work of bridging humans from this profound now into whatever comes next. Courtney is a wife, mother, Appalachian, “art school survivor,” and aspiring Bodhisattva who writes about these and other things on her Substack, The Unidentified Felt Object The first course of the Mystery School for the BrokenHearted is here.

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen chapter 20, narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on Patreon and support me as an independent creator :D⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/join⁠Summary:Mrs Palmer and the and the Dashwood girls talk again the next day at Barton. Mrs Palmer is very pushy towards the girls, wishing for them to come to the city and visit them. Mr Palmer is as gloomy and miserable as usual. Sir John pokes fun at Marianne for her love of Willoughby, and Mrs Palmer adds that Willoughby does not live too far from them, and invites them to visit them at they home as well as London. Mr Palmer calls out Mrs. Jennings, and Sir John for being what “ill-bred” for not wanting to abide by social rules. He, according to the girls, believe that he wishes to appear superior to everyone else. His wife also reveals that her husband is running for parliament, and as Willoughby is a member of the opposition, Mr Palmer probably wouldn't visit him. Apparently everyone is London is talking about the engagement of Marianne and Willoughby. Mrs. Palmer got the information from Colonel Brandon. Elanor tries to skirt around the subject of Marianne's relationship with Willoughby and tries to get more information about the Colonel. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

There are many aspects of The Path to Enlightenment that one would need to learn and practice with guidance from a Teacher, however, Loving-kindness Meditation should be among the top priorities for any Practitioner aspiring to attain Enlightenment.The goal of Loving-kindness Meditation is to eliminate anger, hatred, ill will, resentment, negative self talk, and other discontent feelings associated with the unEnlightened mind.In this Podcast, David will guide you in a Loving-kindness Meditation session and will accept questions from Students to help you develop your meditation practice and progress forward on The Path to Enlightenment.——-Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The BuddhaDedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment.https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com(See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)Group Learning Program - LIVE Interactive Online Classes, Book, Audiobook, Videos, Podcast and Personal Guidancehttps://mailchi.mp/f958c59262eb/buddhadailywisdomThe Words of The Buddha - Pali Canon in English Study Grouphttps://mailchi.mp/6bb4fdf2b6e0/palicanonstudyprogramFREE Book - Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Enlightenmenthttps://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/freebuddhabooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DailyWisdom999YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyWisdom999Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/buddhadailywisdom/Support our efforts to share The Teachings of Gotama Buddha with you and worldwide for all people using this link.https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/supportbuddha#buddhism #learnbuddhism #enlightenment #dhamma #dharma #buddha #meditation #meditationretreat #meditationcourse

Eggstein, eine kleine Ortschaft, irgendwo inmitten verschneiter deutscher Wälder, Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts. Ein Wirtshaus, ein Schmied, eine Schneiderstube, sowie ein paar kleine Bauernhäuser lagen entlang der einzigen Hauptstraße, die durch das unbedeutende, wie recht trostlose Dorf führte. Eine Ortschaft, wie man sie zu jener Zeit überall im Lande auf seinen Reisen vorfand. Doch dieses Dorf, dass von einem Ring aus dichtem Nebel umgeben war, war anders… es war verflucht.

This podcast is me reading a little book I put out earlier this year: CANADA IS AWESOME It's an audio book about all the weird, wonderful, beautiful things that make Canada ... Canada. Did you ever notice Canadians speak in the collective? "What do you think of the weather we're having?" "Shall we grab a Timmy's before the meeting?" "Think we have a shot at the playoffs?" We, we, we. We use the word we so much. Why do we feel like such a collective? I don't think it's complicated. I think it's because we are one. We all toss around half of everything we make into a big glass jar and use it to pay for everyone's health care, education, and services. Sure, the system's never perfect, but if you shatter your ankle in an icy Canadian Tire parking lot, need a dozen years of free school for five kids in Kamloops, or want to drive on freshly snowplowed roads from Comox to Cornwall to Cape Spear, well ... we got you. We got you. We got everyone. This is a different type of book than I've done before—in addition to this audiobook (totally free, right here) I also posted in its entirety on my blog (totally free) in HTML and PDF: HTML: https://www.neil.blog/canada-is-awesome PDF: https://www.neil.blog/s/NP_CIA_wCOVER.pdf I also made a 78-page, bright red, self-published hardcover (with colour photos) and paperback (available on Prime, but black and white photos.) HARDCOVER: https://a.co/d/8vjssD3 PAPERBACK: https://a.co/d/aCYDAh6 I made these books at cost so the price you see on your local Amazon page is the same as it costs me to make them.  This book was designed by a Canadian in Ottawa (​Steve St. Pierre​) and the audio and video edited by a Canadian in Toronto (​Dave Boire​), and even the T-shirt I'm wearing in the YouTube video was designed and manufactured by a Canadian in Toronto (​Daniel Torjman​), who was also a past guest on the pod: https://www.3books.co/chapters/94 If you're Canadian I hope this holiday season this books help you feel pride in who we are. If you're not Canadian, I hope this helps you see Canada a little clearer. Maybe it will inspire you to visit ... or to move here! (My hood is filling up with Americans like mad these days.)  Flip this on for your long road trip and let's let ourselves get inspired by what's possible when grit, determination, and kindness come together across culture and language. Let's reflect on shared goals of spending time with loved ones, hitting best-in-world education rates, and, of course, kicking back by the lake with a Moosehead and a bowl of ketchup chips. This is a piece of writing close to my heart and something I have been working on for over a decade. I hope you like it.  And, if you do, share it with someone else.  Happy holidays, eh!  Neil

Life can feel heavy when stress, worry, and daily challenges take over our perspective. In this episode of 10 Minutes to Less Suffering, I talk about how easily we lose the larger view of our lives and how that loss of perspective can quietly steal joy, peace, and appreciation for what we have. When we are caught in the moment, even small problems can feel overwhelming. I share simple, practical ways to hold a larger perspective, including acceptance, working with uncertainty, and remembering that everything is always changing. These practices can help daily stress feel lighter and allow space for gratitude and possibility, even during difficult moments. In this episode, I explore • Why stress narrows our perspective • How daily challenges can feel heavier than they need to • How acceptance can soften difficult moments • How the maybe mindset can reduce anxiety • How to hold pain and gratitude at the same time This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by life. You do not have to deny your feelings to find perspective. You can feel what you feel and still stay open to joy, meaning, and hope. This is an encore episode and an important reminder that even when life feels hard, a larger perspective can help you breathe easier, stay grounded, and remember that you will find your way. And maybe, the best is yet to come. Poem: A Larger View This moment feels heavy. It asks for all of your attention. But life is bigger than this moment. Bigger than this worry. Bigger than what feels unresolved. You have been here before. You have doubted. You have worried. And still, you found your way. Hold what hurts without letting it take everything with it. Let this moment exist without letting it define your whole day or your whole life. There is love here too. There is something steady beneath the noise. You do not need to solve everything now. You only need to widen the view. This will pass. Something else will come. And maybe, even now, everything is still okay. Lastly, you can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn. If you are interested in my work, please check out my books, The Gift of Maybe: Finding Hope and Possibility in Uncertain Times (including a new audiobook), A Year Without Men: A 12 Point Guide To Inspire and Empower Women and my new Audiobook,  Maybe Everything Is Okay, A Parent's Guide To Less Stress and Worry. Also you can check out my new Maybe Cards: A Path to Stress-Free Living or my new digital Maybe Journal. Above all, my heartfelt hope is that this podcast has supported your journey of personal growth, helped shift your mindset, reduce stress, built emotional resilience, and brought you less suffering and more joy, clarity, and peace.
