Do you ever struggle with shame, pain, numbness, or disconnection in your sex life?So many of us have done inner child work, attachment work, and therapy for our mental health — but we've never applied that same lens to our sexuality. Cultural conditioning, religious messaging, porn, performance pressure, trauma, and body shame all shape how safe (or unsafe) we feel in intimacy. And often, it's our sexual selves that become fragmented.In this episode, I'm joined by trauma-informed somatic sex educator and Erotic Wholeness coach Darshana Avila (featured on Goop's podcast and TV show) to explore how to heal sexual shame, navigating painful sex, ways to deepen intimacy, and confidently asking for the pleasure you actually want. Darshana has dedicated her career to helping people tune in to their truth, desires, and authentic relationships. Her work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, and she's spent over a decade guiding people out of the cultural patterns that keep them stuck.This conversation explores sex and the erotic not as performance, but as attunement, embodiment, and healing.Tune in to hear:What Erotic Wholeness actually meansHow trauma and upbringing impact desire and shutdownWhy so many women experience painful sex — and what might be happening physiologically and emotionallyWhy orgasms can feel difficult or inconsistentHow to feel more confident and comfortable in your bodyHow to give feedback in bed without shame or conflictWhat to do when you “don't even know what you like”How to slow down, build anticipation, and deepen attunementWhy presence and nervous system regulation are key to better sexFollow Darshana on her website and Instagram.For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

In this episode, I sit down with erotic wholeness guide Darshana Avila to talk about embodiment, authenticity, and coming home to the body. Darshana was featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & Goop, which was one of my early introductions to a broader idea of eroticism as I began to unravel my good girl conditioning. We explore what happens when women don't know what they want or don't trust their bodies—a disconnection shaped by the systems we were raised in, not personal failure. Darshana offers a different path forward, rooted in compassion, nervous-system safety, and learning to listen to the body. Here's what we cover:How Darshana defines erotic wholeness and why it's not limited to sexWhy “I don't know what I want” is a common and understandable starting pointWhat compartmentalization looks like in real life and how conditioning keeps it in placeHow authenticity begins with sensing what is and isn't for youSimple ways to begin reconnecting through your senses and the four allies of erotic embodimentDarshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps people reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for profound pleasure and power. Her work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & Goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts.Find Darshana here:darshanaavila.com instagram.com/darshana_avila youtube.com/@darshana-avilalinkedin.com/in/darshana-avilahttps://darshanaavila.com/podcast/ Find Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

Pitchers and catchers from the Detroit Tigers report to spring training in eight days, but before the focus shifts to the 2026 season, former general manager Al Avila (responsible for 25 players on the current 40-man roster) joins "Days of Roar" for more than an hour to discuss the Tigers' rebuild, along with other takeaways from his more than 20 years with the Tigers, including the final seven seasons in charge of baseball operations. Topics with Avila include Mike Ilitch vs. Chris Ilitch, the J.D. Martinez and Justin Verlander trades in 2017, who would've been the manager if A.J. Hinch had joined the Chicago White Sox, Carlos Correa and Javier Báez during the 2021-22 offseason and getting fired (then being asked to stay) in August 2022. He also took deep dives into draft pick decisions such as Jackson Jobe over Marcelo Mayer, Jace Jung over Zach Neto and Riley Greene over CJ Abrams, plus the scouting process for No. 1 overall picks Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene. Aside from the Avila interview, Evan Petzold and Chris Brown discuss Tarik Skubal's upcoming arbitration hearing, the ongoing pursuit of mid-tier starters — and if there's any chance Framber Valdez falls into the Tigers' lap.

Beloved, Heaven's Asking YOU and I to GROW UPHeaven has not moved away from us. The sacred has always been close. What has changed is us. There was a time when mystical experiences were ordinary when people like Theresa of Avila could casually mention being visited by an angel, and no one questioned her sanity. Everything was measured against the soul.How does this affect my eternal essence, not my bank account, not my comfort, not my preferences, but my soul. We lost that somewhere along the way in the age of reason, we became profoundly unreasonable. We began treating ourselves with such exquisite delicacy that we grew fragile instead of strong. We handed our power away to everything outside us, and in doing so, we distanced ourselves from the very source that once spoke to us through wind and fire.The most powerful tool you have is your words. Every word you choose is an act of creation. Words are not just descriptions. They build the world you live in. The Real Reason Mystical Experiences Stopped Being NormalWhen you frame an experience with resentment, with should, with omi, with hate, you anchor part of your soul in the past. That anchoring creates density in your body, slows your experience of time, blocks the flow of synchronicity.When you release those sticky words, when you forgive, when you reframe, when you choose love or neutrality, instead, energy snaps back into the present.Like a cut rubber band. Your cells lighten cause and effect accelerates health returns. This is not poetry. This is mystical law. We stand at a threshold unlike any in human history.For the first time ever, every living being on this planet is participating in a shared struggle for survival, climate, nuclear risk, collapsing ecosystems. These are not problems we can solve. While remaining unchanged problems have solutions that let us stay the same. These are predicaments, predicaments, demand metamorphosis.We must shift from the personal what I want, what I need, what I fear. To the impersonal, what serves the whole service is not sacrifice. It is the only real safety net. Now look at what we've done with our archetypal nature. We each have a archetype on a personal and collective level. And they have unconsciously inverted light and dark.Evil rarely arrives with horns anymore - Its seduces.It convinces you that surrendering your will is passion. That being drained is love. When the apparitions at Mego speak through the visionaries and say. Evil has come close to the earth. It is present. They are not predicting apocalypse. They're describing what is already here. Evil walks among us wearing the mask of desire, of self-actualization, of intensity, and the only defense is humility.The honest recognition that every one of us still has blind spots, still has triggers where darkness can slip in if we declare ourselves past it. Too proud or too evolved to look. We are leaving the age of great external teachers, the era of Jesus, of Buddha, of waiting for someone else to show us the way is closing.What opens now is the demand that we embody what we already know fluently without excuses. No more outsourcing our sovereignty to gurus or institutions or saviors. Each of us must become the living vessel of the truths we claim. So here is the work. Audit your inner vocabulary every day. Catch the words that keep you small, that keep you stuck, that keep you taking instead of giving practice seeing, IM personally ask of every situation what is trying to happen here beyond my personal stake.Assume there are still doors you haven't fully guarded and shift your orientation from taking to giving. Not because it's noble, but because it is the physics of survival in this new era. The sacred is still speaking. The veil is thin again, but this time heaven is asking us to meet it as mature, brave and unconditioned adults, as conscious co-creators who understand that every choice, every word, every refusal to change has consequences.We can no longer outsource or deny. We are not being punished. We are being invited to grow up, and the choice as always, is ours.Love you, KassandraPS: Ready to SHIFT your spirit and stand firm in your natural INTUITION?

There's a moment when you realize waiting has started to cost you something. The old pattern still works, technically. But something in your chest knows the window is closing.In this first episode of an eight-part series, Nina Hirlaender OFS introduces The Soul's Eight Thresholds of Transformation—a framework drawn from the Celtic Wheel of the Year that maps the inner seasons every seeker moves through.

Nina takes you inside the stone circle at Stonehenge at sunrise, shares the wisdom of Teresa of Avila on humility and self-knowledge, and offers a grounded five-minute practice to help you take a step toward what's trying to begin in you.This is also a personal invitation.

When 32-year-old Kimberly Avila didn't return home after a night out in May of 2017, her family knew something was wrong. Kimberly was a woman of color and part of the LGBTQ+ community, living in a heavily religious Texas town, just on the border of Mexico. Rumors and accusations have circled the case, with no actual evidence, but Kimberly's family remains unwavering in their search and in their belief that they will one day have answers. Kimberly was last seen just before 3:00AM in the 1200 block of E. Washington Street in Brownsville, Texas. She was on foot and wearing a black wig, a black short sleeve dressy blouse, a black skirt, fishnet pantyhose, and high heel stiletto shoes. She has brown eyes, but was wearing grey contacts.

Are you a high achieving man who is crushing it in your career—yet feeling powerless at home, disconnected from your family, or weighed down by old patterns? On this week's episode of Love University, we sat down with Mitchell Osmond—trusted advisor, executive coach, and host of The Dad Nation Podcast (www.dadnationco.com)—to unpack how high‑performing men can break through personal struggle, reclaim their health and relationships, and build a legacy that matters with their loved ones. After overcoming his own challenges—being overweight, deeply in debt, and nearly divorced—Mitchell has spent over a decade helping men and their partners bridge the gap between success in the boardroom and success at home. Here are three powerful insights from our conversation: Transformation begins with ownership—not escape. Mitchell's journey wasn't linear: he was 50 lbs. overweight, nearly $100K in debt, and in a failing marriage when a simple question shifted his life: If you died today, would you be proud of your legacy? That wake‑up call inspired him to take ownership—rebuilding his body, restoring his marriage, and realigning his finances. Today he teaches that confronting personal truth head‑on—not numbing with distractions—is the first step toward growth. His story shows that recovery and performance aren't just about willpower—they're about clarity of purpose. Men's suffering at home reflects disconnection—not weakness. Mitchell highlights a stark reality: a significant number of men are highly effective at work but emotionally disconnected at home. Statistics show that when they get home, many men spend thousands of hours a year on screens and face rising loneliness—moreover, having an absent father (mentally or physically) strongly correlates with negative outcomes for children. The Dad Nation movement provides a solution by helping men build emotional connection with their partners and children—teaching that strength isn't just productivity, it's being present, listening, and meeting emotional needs. That integration of ambition with emotional awareness is what fuels lasting success. Winning in life requires a holistic, actionable framework. What separates success from stagnation? Mitchell offers a four‑pillar approach that aligns ambition with fulfillment: Relationship Solidification — making your partner feel seen, heard, and safe. Body Renovation — disciplined health and fitness for energy and confidence. Mind Transformation — intentional focus on time, energy, and emotional fitness. Goal Implementation — clear, purpose‑driven objectives that shape daily action. He emphasizes that confidence doesn't always come first—it's often the result of consistent effort in mind, body, and relationship. Whether you're a dad, a mom, or even a single person, these four pillars can help you overcome stagnation and achieve your full potential. Your life of integration and holistic success begins now.

I am joined this week by the brilliant and beautiful Patty Wexler. Patty is not only backing bold founders reimagining the future economy through Avila but also someone who has had such a unique story on this earth. From growing up in Venezuela as the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors to becoming a venture capitalist investing in nuclear fusion and geothermal energy, Patty's journey is a masterclass in experiencing excellence and finding your path. Today, we dive deep into Patty's formative years split between Venezuela and New York, where she learned early that counting every penny was survival. You'll hear about the boss who picked up the phone and changed her life trajectory, her realization that $28,000 felt like infinite wealth until rent was due, and how she tasted excellence at the buffet of opportunities from consulting to Disney to tech investing. Patty shares her philosophy on why venture isn't for everyone, the critical importance of choosing financial partners like you're entering a marriage with children, and why she pivoted from typical Silicon Valley investing to backing companies working on humanity's biggest challenges. Listen as Patty talks about teaching her son to invest in her fund at age eight, the awkwardness of mixing money and personal relationships when fundraising, and her deep belief that we all need to stay involved with critical thinking as the world teeters on instability. This is a conversation about building wealth while keeping your eyes on the long-term future of our planet. Key Topics: Growing up with the epigenetics of Holocaust survival and what it means to count every penny Learning that the first leap is the hardest, but once you're an immigrant, there's more optionality Why early career is about experiencing different things to figure out what makes you tick Understanding that venture capital isn't for everyone and choosing the right financial partners is like marriage with children Making the pivot from lazy Silicon Valley investing to backing nuclear fusion and geothermal energy Teaching your kids that privilege isn't random and comes from working very hard Why the world needs critical thinking and long-term vision when everything feels unstable   Connect with Patty online: Website: https://www.avila.vc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patriciahalfenwexler/ Instagram: @pattywexler @avila.vc   Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: wealthcatalyst.com Substack: https://thewealthcatalystwithsyama.substack.com/ Download Syama's Free Resources: wealthcatalyst.com/resources Wealth Catalyst Summit: wealthcatalyst.com/summits Speaking: syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com

What does it mean to be erotically alive—and how do we reclaim that connection after trauma, disconnection, or years of shutting down?In this intimate and illuminating conversation, I'm joined by trauma-informed somatic educator and Netflix's Sex, Love & goop expert Darshana Avila. Together, we unpack the deeper meaning of erotic aliveness, the body as a gateway to truth, and how our capacity for pleasure and power is often buried beneath layers of cultural conditioning and trauma.We explore the role of somatic safety in true intimacy, what it means to center the body over the mind in healing work, and how you can begin to feel more at home within yourself again.Darshana shares potent reflections from her own life, as well as embodied tools you can begin practicing now to move from shutdown to sensation, from dissociation to desire.This episode is a powerful reminder: your pleasure is not frivolous—it's foundational. And reclaiming it is a radical, healing act.Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/gHt7QKw8K1gConnect with Darshana:www.darshanaavila.comwww.instagram.com/darshana_avilawww.youtube.com/@darshana-avilawww.linkedin.com/in/darshana-avilaFREE GIFT: skool.com/galgasmGalgasm! is a free online community hub for women and AFAB folks ready to live, love and lead from their deepest pleasure and power.

What if you could use the energy of anger to create peace instead of conflict? This week on Love University, we explore how to use Anger—one of the most volatile forces in the emotional universe—for healing and empowerment. Often mistaken for strength, irrational anger is actually a form of reactivity that drains your mental energy and damages your relationships. Drawing from his book Invincible You, Dr. Avila offers practical strategies for mastering what he calls the Anger Weakness—the tendency to be consumed by frustration and irritability when you feel blocked from your desires and wishes. Here are two key approaches to shift from anger to empowered calmness: Use grounding and empathy to transmute anger You don't have to suppress your anger—you can learn to redirect it. When you stay physically grounded and emotionally aware, you can turn reactive energy into emotional strength. For example, instead of clenching your fists and raising your voice during a tense conversation, take a slow breath, plant your feet firmly on the ground, and steady your tone. This simple act calms your nervous system and keeps your mind clear; you hold your ground without aggression. In addition, make sure you recognize the humanity in others, even during disagreements. This approach not only protects your serenity—it also deepens your self-control and helps you build stronger, more respectful relationships. Treat anger like a color until it disappears. The true goal isn't to erase anger—it's to transform it. When anger arises, you can choose non-reaction: Feel the fire, but don't fuel it.  Say to yourself, “I'm experiencing a certain color at this moment. Some call it anger, but I see it as a color, for example red.  I will allow myself to momentarily feel its hot intensity, but I won't do anything about it.  I will simply let it pass through me until its fierceness vanishes.” Over time, this emotional mastery over anger builds what Dr. Avila calls the Invincible Mind—a state of calm strength in which you acknowledge emotions without being overpowered by them. From this place of ultimate strength, you will transmute anger into fuel for positive change and upward soul elevation, culminating in the most wonderful of gift of all: Peace.   Learn how to manage anger with clarity, wisdom, and self-mastery.  Also, pick up a copy of Invincible You at https://tinyurl.com/3y3szh27.

In this episode of The Distribution, Brandon Sedloff sits down with Tony Avila for a detailed discussion on the evolution of residential land development and homebuilding finance. Tony walks through his multi-decade career, from early exposure to real estate and investment banking to building platforms focused on capital solutions for developers and regional homebuilders. The conversation explores how institutional capital, regulatory shifts, and interest rate cycles have reshaped the housing ecosystem, and why today's environment presents a distinct opportunity in land and construction lending. Together, they break down the mechanics behind land development loans, underwriting discipline, and the structural gaps left by traditional banks. They discuss: • Tony Avila's career path through real estate workouts, investment banking, and homebuilding M&A • The institutionalization of homebuilding and the role of public markets and consolidation • Distressed land and development opportunities following the financial crisis • Why banks have pulled back from land and construction lending and how private capital is filling the gap • The fundamentals of land development loans, underwriting risk, and housing affordability Links: Tony on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-avila-8879487/ Avila Real Estate Capital - https://www.avilacapllc.com/ Brandon on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsedloff/ Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/ Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:01:41) - Tony Avila's background and career (00:06:03) - The evolution of home building and institutionalization (00:08:46) - Mergers, acquisitions, and public listings (00:12:39) - Encore and distressed market opportunities (00:17:41) - Pivoting strategies in a changing market (00:20:01) - Current business structure and focus (00:24:58) - Understanding the fundamentals and opportunities (00:27:14) - Understanding land development loans (00:28:54) - Key considerations for land loans (00:30:43) - Distinguishing developers from builders (00:32:21) - Funding and underwriting strategies (00:39:35) - Navigating institutional capital (00:48:55) - Addressing housing affordability (00:53:16) - Conclusion and contact information

In contemplative prayer, we seek Jesus. As St. Teresa of Avila put it, contemplative prayer “is nothing else than a close sharing between friends.” The Catechism tells us this form of prayer is a gift, a covenant, and a communion. Further, it is a silent gaze “fixed on Jesus.” In this episode, Fr. Mike helps us better understand this intimate form of prayer. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2709-2724. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Mental prayer is the breath of the plan of life. If the Rosary carries the steady heartbeat, mental prayer is the quiet inhale and exhale of friendship with God. It shifts faith from duty to desire, from "I have to pray" to "I can't wait to be with Him." The episode reflects on the beauty of intimate conversation with the Father. Saint Teresa of Avila once called prayer a close sharing between friends, and this meditation unpacks what that means in real life, where honesty and vulnerability become the doorway to grace. It guides listeners through how to create inner stillness, how to approach God with curiosity, how to listen and be a friend and speak simply, and how to let silence deepen trust. Think of it as an invitation to breathe with God again, and to let prayer become the place where you are known, loved, and renewed; a place where you want to be.

Hope for Right Now Podcast – Trust in the Impossible: An Advent Series, Mary While Walking with Purpose founder Lisa takes time to write our next women's Bible study, Laura is keeping the Hope for Right Now podcast going strong with a four-week series: Trust in the Impossible: An Advent Series. Advent is meant to be a time of interior reflection—the weeks we prepare our hearts and homes to receive the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. But with the secular world's demands and distractions, keeping our eyes on what matters can be challenging, and the season of quiet we dream about feels impossible. What if this Advent, we said no to the overwhelm of the secular world and yes to the overshadowing of the Spirit? Each week, Laura introduces a Biblical figure from the Gospel of Luke, whose story reveals the secret to a simple, peace-filled Advent—one where we yield to God's will, respond in faith, and trust in the impossible.  Today's Biblical figure: Mary. Discover what happens when we learn to stop our human activity and allow the Spirit to move us. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Luke 1:26–38 Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Genesis 3:15: I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. Luke 2:19: But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Spend a few minutes practicing mental prayer using Luke 1:26–38 for your Scripture passage. Our presenting sponsor is CB Jewelry. Faith is beautiful—and it's your best accessory.

Today’s Topics: Father Raymond of the Blessed Sacrament joins Terry 1) Gospel – Luke 21:1-4 – When Jesus looked up He saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and He noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins. He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.” Memorial of Saint Andrew Dũng-Lạc, Priest, and Companions, Martyrs Saint Andrew and Companions, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Terry and Father Raymond discuss self-knowledge and all it encompasses as described by Saint Teresa of Avila

Pope Leo XIV has recently formally declared St. John Henry Newman—who was canonized only in 2019 by Pope Francis—a doctor of the Catholic Church, a recognition given only to 37 other saints in Catholicism's over 2000 year history. This places Newman among great figures like St. Augustine, St. Gregory the Great, St. Jerome, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Theresa de Avila, St. Catherine of Sienna, and the Little Flower, St. Therese of Lisieux. What is the significance of giving St. John Henry Newman—an Englishman and Anglican convert to Catholicism who was born over 200 years ago—this title? What is it about Newman's approach to communicating the faith that earned him this great honor—and why now?  Equally important, how can contemporary evangelists draw inspiration from his work to proclaim the Gospel in a drastically different world, religiously and morally, from Newman's 19th century Victorian England? A listener asks for advice on how to give better homilies at Mass. 00:00 | Introduction 01:26 | Bishop Barron's recent domestic travels 03:20 | Defining "Doctor of the Church" 04:55 | Distinguishing doctors from saints 05:50 | John Henry Newman's brief biography 12:18 | Understanding the development of doctrine 17:41 | Safeguards against corruption 22:33 | The wholeness of the truth 25:34 | Newman: "To live is to change" 29:28 | The "illative sense" of the mind's assent to propositions 34:10 | Difficulties vs. doubt 35:54 | How Newman speaks to England now 37:55 | Listener question: How can priests improve preparation for homilies? 39:58 | Join the Word on Fire Institute   Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!
