Podcasts about awkwardness

Send us Fan MailI'm Jodi Hope Grinwald, host of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast. In this episode, special guest co-host Fred Wasiak, Principal Owner of Humanics Consulting, and we sit down with motivational keynote speaker, author and improv comedian Avish Parashar for a powerful and refreshingly honest conversation about navigating change, moving beyond apathy and replacing “yes, but” with “yes, and.”Avish reminds us that life isn't scripted—it is the ultimate improvisation. We are constantly facing unexpected changes, challenging conversations and circumstances we cannot control. The question is: Will we resist what is happening, or will we adapt and explore what could be possible?One of my favorite insights from Avish's book, Say “Yes, And!” to Change, is:“Yes, but” is a brake.“Yes, and” is an accelerator.When someone presents an idea and the response is, “Yes, but that won't work,” the idea can be shut down in seconds. But responding with, “Yes, and what if we also…” can open the door to creativity, collaboration and entirely new possibilities.Avish explains how changing our default response from “yes, but” to “yes, and” can help us:• Adapt more effectively to change• Strengthen communication and teamwork• Move beyond resistance and complacency• Unlock creativity and innovation• Become more comfortable with uncertainty• Say “yes, and” to ourselves and the possibilities we may be dismissingOur conversation also takes an unexpectedly honest turn when Avish shares his unusual personal theme: to become more “bored, awkward and rejected.”Why would anyone choose that?Because boredom creates space for imagination. Awkwardness can mean we are stretching beyond what feels comfortable. Rejection means we had the courage to try. Avish explains that when we stop immediately escaping discomfort through distraction, we give ourselves the space to create, grow and achieve better results.We also explore approval-seeking and how easy it is to focus on the one person who did not like what we did—even when 100 others did. Avish openly discusses his own desire for approval, the vulnerability behind performing and why being honest about what we are experiencing allows others the opportunity to support us.Avish also challenges the belief that every goal must feel achievable. While SMART goals have value, he believes we also need an “impossible goal”—one that makes us think, “I have no idea how I'm going to accomplish that.”An impossible goal requires us to experiment, learn, collaborate and use our creativity. When individuals or teams pursue an ambitious goal they genuinely care about, that renewed engagement can begin to replace apathy.Most importantly, Avish reminds us that bringing “yes, and” into our workplaces, relationships and communities must begin with saying “yes, and” to ourselves. How many times have you thought, “I want to do that,” only to immediately answer yourself with, “Yes, but I don't have the time,” “Yes, but I might fail” or “Yes, but I'm not ready”?This episode invites us to change that response.If you are navigating change, leading a team, pursuing a goal that feels beyond your reach or struggling to move past your own “yes, but,” this conversation is for you.Listen to From “Yes, But” to “Yes, And”: Turning Change Into Possibility with Avish Parashar.CONNECT WITH AVISH PARASHARLearn more about Avish:https://www.avishparashar.comLearn more about Say “Yes, And!” to Change:https://www.sayyesandtochange.comCONNECT WITH TODAY IS THE DAYSubscribe to the Today is the Day Changemakers YouTube channel and join a global community committed to creating meaningful change.Learn more about me and the work of Today is the Day:https://www.todayisthedayliveit.com#leadership  #changemanagement  #yesand  #TodayIsTheDayChangemakers #AvishParashar #leadershipdevelopment  #adaptability  #personalgrowth  #teamengagement  #creativity  #innovation  #growthmindset  #workplaceculture  #communicationskills  #podcast Support the show

School events can trigger outsider syndrome for stepmoms. Especially when their partner's ex and extended family will be there. Where should everyone sit? Should divorced parents and stepparents attend events together? What happens when a partner acts differently around their ex? And does a stepmom need to attend parent-teacher conferences to prove she cares?In this episode of The Stepmom Side Podcast, Alicia shares her experience of feeling ignored, displaced, and unsure where she belonged during school events. She also explains why she sometimes chose not to attend parent-teacher conferences when her role felt unclear.Alicia helps stepmoms prepare for school concerts, sporting events, open houses, conferences, and other activities without forcing an uncomfortable version of “happy co-parenting.”In this episode, Alicia discusses:Why school events can intensify outsider syndrome for stepmomsDeciding whether divorced parents and stepparents should sit togetherWhy separate seating may sometimes be the healthiest optionPlanning for each school event individuallyWhat to do when a partner's ex ignores or excludes the stepmomHow to respond when a partner acts differently around their ex...and more.There is no universal rule that says every blended family must sit together or attend every event as one group. The healthiest arrangement is the one that reduces tension, supports the child, and allows each adult to behave respectfully.If school events leave you feeling like an outsider, you do not have to work through those feelings alone.Join The Stepmom Side Community:https://aliciakrasko.com/communityExplore one-on-one coaching with Alicia:https://aliciakrasko.com/coachingSupport the showWant a specific topic covered?

You want to flirt IRL. But you're scared to start... The Flirting Ladder is exactly how you will build the skills to become an expert, confident flirter! This is the exact tool Lily teaches inside Main Character Dating to take you from frozen with fear to flirting with confidence. In this episode: → Flirting is joyful, courageous connection. Not a performance, not a personality trait some people are born with. It's a skill set you build by doing. → Awkwardness is the price of admission for connection. It will be awkward, and that is not a sign you're doing it wrong. → You cannot say the wrong thing to the right person. The right person is looking for you too, and they will be delighted you walked up. → The flirting ladder itself: start with one second of eye contact and climb, one accessible rung at a time, until "so random question, are you single" feels doable. → The 10 seconds of courage tool that builds momentum from paralyzed to shooting your shot. By the time "random question" is out of your mouth, you're already halfway done.   Your flirting ladder lives right next to your rejection resilience plan from episode 267. Build both and you're unstoppable this summer.

Bill Powers and co-host Brian Leni sit down for their monthly Junior Mining Insights chat and reflect upon their conversations with numerous resource investors at the recent 2026 Rick Rule Symposium in Boca Rotan, Florida. Topics Discussed: • Concentration over diversification. Both Bill & Brian favor fewer, better-understood positions over sprawling portfolios that can't realistically be researched. • Do the math on your time. Rick Rule's "one hour per company per month" rule is a useful gut-check for how many positions you can genuinely follow. • Know the source's entry point & bias. A recommendation from someone who bought in at a fraction of today's price carries a very different risk-reward than your entry. • Understand mining stock marketing. Well marketed stories grab retail attention. But are the execs "mining the market" or building a mining company? • Geopolitical uncertainty shows up first in financing. Watch which portfolio companies need to raise capital in the next few months — that's where macro shocks bite hardest. • AI is a research accelerant, not a replacement for network and experience. Both Bill and Brian use AI tools to speed up analysis of filings and reports, but firsthand relationships and institutional history remain the differentiator. • CEO charisma matters at the booth. Awkwardness alone isn't disqualifying, but it compounds risk when other fundamentals are already weak. 00:00 Intro 00:46 Portfolio Overload 02:20 Conviction Beats Diversification 05:59 Time and ETFs 07:53 Marketing Versus Fundamentals 11:46 Know Your Risk Profile 13:33 Entry Price and Bias 16:39 Slow Down and Research 19:35 Geopolitics and Financing Risk 24:12 Review Your Portfolio 27:15 Royalty Valuation Skepticism 33:21 Using AI for Mining Stocks 38:33 Experience Network and Bias 42:47 Reputation and Naming Names 47:18 CEO Charisma Matters Brian's website: https://www.juniorstockreview.com/ Brian's YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FIELD_NOTES Bill's Twitter: https://x.com/MiningStockEdu Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Bill and Brian are not licensed financial advisors.

Most real estate agents avoid calling their past clients and center of influence because of fear, ego, and the awkwardness of reconnecting after months or even years of silence. In this training session, a top producer with 20 years of experience breaks down exactly how to structure those calls, including live role plays showing how to open the conversation, ask for referrals, and handle common objections without ever feeling pushy or desperate. You will also hear a powerful recovery script for reaching out to clients you have completely lost touch with and how to turn that awkward reconnection into a real business opportunity. The session covers how to categorize your database into A, B, and C contacts, how often to reach out to each group, and why your best leads are already sitting in your phone waiting for you to call. You will learn why convincing is repelling and asking questions is selling, why 88% of past clients say they would use their agent again but end up going elsewhere, and how to prospect through your database rather than just to it. Whether you are brand new to real estate or a seasoned agent who has been avoiding your database, this session gives you the mindset, the scripts, and the strategy to start converting the relationships you already have.

I dare you to Risk A Little Weirdness... To Speak Life.If you've ever replayed a kind thought in your head and then talked yourself out of saying it, this conversation is for you. I'm sharing one of my oldest, most practical habits, born in a high school journaling moment and refined over decades of real life: ...if you think something nice, say it!Not later. Not once it feels “smooth.”  Now, while it still costs a little awkwardness.We get honest about what's really going on when we stay silent.  It's usually not a lack of love, it's self-consciousness and fear of being perceived as weird. I walk through the two rules that make this habit doable: deliver it quickly before the stakes rise, and don't require a reaction for it to “count.” Encouragement is not a transaction. It's sowing seeds of life, calling out character, and reinforcing kingdom values in everyday places like grocery stores, parking lots, and school hallways.You'll also hear why I think this is the lowest-hanging fruit of the gospel, plus a personal story about Aaron reading four pages of kind words as he practiced this habit and how that moment helped shape our relationship. I leave you with a simple, concrete challenge: try it twice a day and watch what shifts in your heart, your courage, and your community.

Unanswered Prayers, Easter Candy, and Podcast Catch-Up with April On the podcast, Paul, Jeremy, and returning guest April banter about sampled music ("Darkest Light" by the Lafayette Afro Rock Band) and April's last era of secular rap (Master P's "Ice Cream Man"), then recap a busy Easter at church, Cadbury Creme Eggs, and expensive holiday candy. They debate drive-thru etiquette, share travel and hotel mishaps, discuss their dogs and kids' media preferences (including John Wick and Hallmark), and briefly touch on big-ticket events like the World Cup, WrestleMania, and a $5,000 Derby mint julep, plus TikTok trends like Scientology building "runs" and curiosity about the Vatican vault. The episode's main focus is wrestling with "unanswered prayers," using biblical examples (persistent widow, Hannah, Exodus, prison releases, John the Baptist, Jesus in Gethsemane, Paul's thorn) and emphasizing prayer as relationship, God's will, suffering, and practices like stillness, praying scripture, and worship music, with book recommendations from Pete Greig and Paul Miller. 00:00 Sampled Song Icebreaker 01:23 Master P Nostalgia 04:25 Easter Recap Candy Chaos 07:07 Drive Thru Thank You Debate 09:22 Milo and Dog Life Update 11:28 Ads Hallmark and Pricey Cards 13:52 Awkward TV With Teens 15:08 John Wick Talk 17:23 Kids and Screen Time 18:07 SNL Clips and Awkwardness 18:39 One Year After Flood 21:48 Dogs and Workouts 24:19 Kids Sports and Gym 25:42 World Cup Ticket Shock 27:16 Luxury Spending and Debt 29:08 Scientology TikTok Runs 31:05 Vatican Vault Mysteries 34:10 Area 51 and Secret Access 36:03 Vault Facts and Church Attic 37:24 From Jokes to Grief 39:02 What Unanswered Means 40:16 Widow and Hannah 43:39 Prayer Is Complicated 46:50 Thy Will Be Done 48:01 Suffering and Jesus 50:11 Living With Tension 54:21 Why Not You 58:41 Praying Intentionally 1:01:43 Silence and Solitude 1:03:33 Wrap Up

In this episode of The Relationship Breakthrough Show, Matt is joined by PJ Livett — founder of Rephrase and one of the UK's most straight‑talking, no‑nonsense educators on sex, consent, and healthy relationships. Talking to young people about sex and relationships can feel awkward, intimidating, or even overwhelming. But as PJ explains, it doesn't have to be. The real issue isn't a knowledge gap — it's a confidence gap. And when adults avoid the topic, young people turn to their peers, Google, or pornography to fill in the blanks. Together, Matthew and PJ unpack: - Why conversations about sex feel so uncomfortable for so many adults - How our own upbringing, shame, and lack of language get passed down to the next generation - The myths young people believe — from “everyone else is doing it” to “jealousy means love” - How pornography is shaping expectations around bodies, performance, and power - Why consent isn't a one‑time yes, but an ongoing emotional and physical safety conversation - How to help young people spot red flags like control, isolation, and toxic behaviour - Why self‑worth is the foundation of every healthy relationship - Practical ways parents can talk to their kids without awkwardness, lectures, or panic - The power of ‘100 one‑minute conversations' instead of one big talk - How to use TV, films, and everyday moments as natural openings for deeper conversations This episode is essential listening for parents, educators, and anyone who wants to raise confident, emotionally intelligent young people who can navigate intimacy, consent, and connection in a healthy way.

We held off sharing this episode. It's one of those uncomfortable (but real) conversations that married couples have when they need to get something sorted, but they can't seem to agree. These conversations usually happen in private. But. We strive to keep things real and remain honest with you on this podcast. So here we are. Awkwardness and all. Thank you for being part of this community. Of this journey. For making us feel brave enough to share not just the ups and the laughs and the funny stories, but the downs, the tears and the sweaty-palmed conversations. Conversations like this one. We love you for it ❤️ Liz and Brian x Links mentioned in the show:

If the idea of FaceTime sex makes you want to immediately close your laptop and never speak of it again, I get it — but hear me out. Whether you're in a long-distance relationship, traveling, or just looking to try something new with a partner you see every day, virtual sex is one of the most underrated tools for keeping intimacy alive. And when you do it right, it's genuinely hot.

In this episode, you'll learn: • How to actually set up, prepare, and get in the mood before the call — including the one thing you can do beforehand that builds confidence and arousal at the same time • What to say during FaceTime sex, even if dirty talk doesn't come naturally to you — plus how to use past memories, future fantasies, and simple direction to keep things moving • How to handle it when your partner's virtual kinks don't match yours, when sexting with someone outside your relationship starts bleeding into your real one, and how to know when a sexting session is actually over This episode is sponsored by...

The Kid and the TV and the Awkwardness with the Neighbor by Maine's Coast 93.1

Seth and Sean react to others being petty and get petty themselves in the PettyCast. This week they hear some awkward exchanges on Inside the NBA, Jeff Kent still hating Alex Rodriguez, Stephen A Smith chastising the NBA for lack of dress code, and Randy Orton saying he'd like to RKO Tom Brady.

-The rumor is now true, as UNL confirmed the Spring game will be March 28 th at 11am. It's not surprising news as we hadexpected it but now it is official. There will also be Husker baseball and softball that day starting at 2pm…-March 28 th is also right when the Elite 8 is in the NCAA Tournament—which is fun to think about but dangerous when you aretrying to do something never done in program history which is in a single game in the Dance…but are fans still dreaming abouta deep run or are they down?Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Henna Pryror Speaker. Executive Coach. Workplace Performance Expert.   Considered one of the best recruiters on the east coast - and gave it all up. She had an incredible sales and consulting career. She shattered records and was in the top 10% of the company every year. She loved the industry – but her heart broke every time she helped a high-performing employee exit their high-potential team.   Socials: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/hennapryor Instagram: www.instagram.com/hennapryor Facebook: www.facebook.com/hennapryorcoach   Summary:   In this episode, workplace performance expert and bestselling author Henna Pryor joins the show to discuss the hidden challenges of the modern workday. The conversation dives deep into why many professionals feel like "drunk baby giraffes" navigating constant change and how "social muscle atrophy" is impacting team dynamics in a hybrid world. Henna shares why embracing awkwardness is a professional advantage and offers actionable strategies to rebuild social courage and connection.   Key Takeaways:   - Social Muscle as Currency: Your ability to navigate social discomfort is a hidden performance currency in today's workplace. - The "Atrophy" Epidemic: Remote and hybrid work have caused our social skills to weaken due to a lack of real-world practice and a tendency to avoid difficult conversations. - Awkwardness is an Emotion, Not a Trait: Awkwardness is a unique form of social discomfort triggered by uncertainty and change, rather than a permanent personality flaw. - The "Drunk Baby Giraffe" Mindset: Leaders must model being okay with "stumbling" through change to encourage their teams to take risks and keep moving forward. - Focus on the Start: The hardest part of social interaction is the "activation energy" required to begin; focusing on simply starting can overcome most social anxiety.   Episode Chapters:   [00:00:00] The "Drunk Baby Giraffe" Workplace [00:02:24] Henna's Path to Performance Coaching [00:03:52] Defining "Good Awkward" [00:06:17] Why We Are More Awkward Now [00:09:44] The Danger of Social Comfort [00:12:30] The Spotlight Effect and the Liking Gap [00:16:15] Strategy: Social Risk Micro-Dosing [00:19:50] The "Activation Energy" of Conversation [00:23:10] Leadership and the Permission to Stumble [00:27:18] Embracing the Messy Middle [00:31:05] Focus on the Process, Not the Outcome [00:33:45] Closing Thoughts and "Good Awkward" Resources

In this high-energy and deeply personal episode, Mimi and Wonne return to navigate a week marked by both grief and humor. The duo kicks off with a lighthearted debate over thin-crust pizza and the nostalgia of birthday freebies before shifting to a somber tribute to Mimi's late aunt, a famously "pro-black" figure who passed away on MLK Day.The conversation takes several sharp turns, covering everything from the absurdity of AI-generated Rampage Jackson videos to a viral PSA from a local figure about the "dirty" reality of dating unprotected in Milwaukee. Between discussions on "grief sex" , the YMCA's lyrical subtext, and the struggle of hosting a website on GoDaddy, the hosts deliver their signature blend of raw honesty and "demon time" wit.Chapter Timestamps00:00 – Technical Difficulties & The Return of Mimi's Wig 12:15 – Pizza Debates: Rocky's vs. Thin Crust "Crackers" 24:40 – Somber News: Losing a Pro-Black Icon on MLK Day 45:10 – The "Outback" Betrayal: When "Taking Someone Out" Goes Dutch 1:02:30 – Unpacking the YMCA: Hidden Meanings and Gay Club Codes 1:20:15 – GoDaddy vs. The Sibius Vibes: Moving the Business Forward 1:35:45 – AI Rampage Jackson & The "Niggler" Controversy 1:52:10 – Public Service Announcement: The "Burnt" Reality of Milwaukee 2:05:00 – Demon Time: Closing Out with Final Thoughts To get more of the Hoecially Awkward experience, join our Facebook group to engage with other fans and get exclusive content.

In this hard-hitting throwback episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing breaks down one of his most effective methods for creating a seamless, natural first kiss, the Slide and Kiss Method. This strategy is designed for moments where attraction is clearly present, but the kiss hasn't happened organically yet, and you need to confidently lead things forward without killing the vibe. Mark explains why the first kiss should feel spontaneous and memorable, how to properly read a woman's signals before escalating, and why men must lead while still calibrating to her level of interest. Using real-world experience, humor, and step-by-step instruction, he walks you through exactly how to execute this method in a way that feels confident, masculine, and smooth, while still allowing room to abort if the timing isn't right. Key Takeaways: - How to recognize clear signs that a woman wants to be kissed. - The step-by-step breakdown of Mark's patented Slide and Kiss Method. - How to recover smoothly if your timing is off. - Why women act as the "barometer" for escalation and timing.

Have you ever felt silly talking to someone you can't see? prayer can sometimes feel awkward, especially because God doesn't often speak audibly in the way we're used to. As we learn to recognize His voice, this gets easier, but it takes time. We learn to distinguish His voice uniquely through time spent with Him in prayer, worship, and Scripture and in community. In the in-between space of this learning though can be awkwardness. Be encouraged by the community of faith! As we come before Him in earnestness He will respond. He desires intimate relationship with His creation and with you personally.

Half the world is wired for less stimulation and many of them have spent years wondering if that means something is wrong with them. In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with counselor and bestselling author Holley Gerth to talk about introversion with both warmth and real brain science: why “introvert” isn't the same as “shy,” how dopamine and acetylcholine shape what drains you or restores you, why deep processing can make you tired even when you “didn't do that much,” and how strategic solitude can actually make relationships more sustainable—especially for kids. It's a freeing conversation for anyone who's ever felt too quiet, too intense, too sensitive, or just plain awkward… and a reminder that awkwardness is often what makes us more human, more likable, and easier to connect with.

Social anxiety is not a personality flaw, it is your nervous system doing its job a little too loudly.  In this episode, we reframe awkwardness and self-consciousness as signals of alert, not evidence that something is wrong with you. If holiday parties, crowded rooms, or feeling “on” leave you tense and overthinking, this conversation will help you understand what is actually happening in your body.  I walk you through seven gentle, practical tools designed to give your nervous system cues of safety so you can stay grounded and present. These are not mindset tricks or confidence hacks, they are body-based resets you can use in real time. You will learn how to quickly orient to the present moment, regulate your breath, and take micro breaks without disappearing.  We talk about why food or drinks often become a coping tool in social settings and how to expand your options without judgment or restriction. You will also learn how to prepare simple connection cues so conversations feel less draining.  This episode emphasizes choice, permission, and self-trust rather than forcing yourself to push through discomfort. Even using one of these tools can shift how safe your body feels. Confidence is not about being calm all the time, it is about knowing how to support yourself when you are activated.  If you want to feel more at ease socially without changing who you are, this episode is for you. Time Stamps: (3:07) Social Anxiety and Awkwardness (8:03) #1: The Name and Notice Reset (9:03) #2: The Anger Breath (9:55) #3: The Micro-Step Away (10:48) #4: The Connection Cue (13:30) #5: The Pocket Script (15:51) #6: The Sensory Grounder (19:58) #7: The Permission Slip---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
