Send us a textWhat if a thriller could do more than raise your pulse—what if it could help you see the early signs of harm and chart a path back to yourself? We sit with writer-producer Bella Bahar and actress Shiva Nagar to explore Deadly Vow, a film that starts with romance, swerves into danger, and refuses to look away from the realities of domestic abuse. The conversation moves from Cannes panels to late-night calls between collaborators, revealing how a story powered by empathy becomes a movement for awareness, healing, and change.Shiva brings us inside her character's world, honoring the emotional truth of someone who once chose love and family before facing control, isolation, gaslighting, and escalating threats. Bella shares why she left a medical career to produce a project rooted in real experiences, drawing on years of advocacy through Paradise Charity and a deep belief that cinema can connect audiences to the hard-to-name patterns many endure in silence. Together, we talk about how independent film actually gets made—finding investors at markets, delivering to festivals and distributors, and protecting sensitive material—while keeping the mission front and center.At the core is sisterhood: women sharing knowledge instead of competing for the spotlight, translating industry jargon, showing up to meetings, and holding space when the work gets heavy. We discuss the first steps for someone living in fear, the importance of recognizing warning signs early, and what it means to break the cycle for children who learn what “normal” looks like at home. You'll hear why storytelling creates empathy, how validation can be a catalyst for healing, and the simple, fierce reminder: you are not what happened to you; you are what you rise from.Deadly Vow arrives November 14. Join us to learn the signs, support survivors, and back a film made with courage and care.

Madžarska bo za eno leto oproščena ameriških sankcij v povezavi z uvozom ruskih energentov. Bela hiša je izjemo za Budimpešto napovedala po včerajšnjem obisku madžarskega premierja Viktorja Orbana pri ameriškem predsedniku Donaldu Trumpu. Ta je dejal, da Madžarska težko dobi nafto in plin z drugih območij, saj nima morja in pristanišč. Voditelja sta med drugim govorila o vojni v Ukrajini in odnosih z Rusijo, pri čemer je Orban zatrdil, da Zahod glede tega ni enoten. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Na srečanju voditeljev pred podnebno konferenco slišati opozorila pred posledicami vojn na podnebje. - Vlada in sindikati javnega sektorja še brez soglasja o izplačevanju delovne uspešnosti po novem. - Startna mesta na pohodu po Levstikovi poti od Litije do Čateža odprta še dve uri.

Cultists, five years after the previous entry in the series, and three years since they'd made a horror movie at all, Universal convinced Karloff to sit in Jack Pierce's make-up chair for one last outing as the iconic monster. Minus director James Whale's subversive edge but with Dracula star Bela Lugosi and future Sherlock Holmes star Basil Rathbone, Son Of Frankenstein marked a turning point in the Universal Horror Series.

Join host Bela Musits and fellow sailor Mike Malekoff aboard Mike's Hunter 44 Deck Salon as they continue their incredible voyage up the East Coast of the United States, relocating the boat from Brunswick, Georgia to Burlington, Vermont. This episode captures their journey from Schuyler Yacht Basin to Whitehall, New York, a leg that highlights the beauty, challenges, and joy of extended cruising.Bela and Mike start the episode with a lighthearted story about waking up to wet feet after an overnight rainstorm revealed a small leak in the forward cabin. The two sailors reflect on the realities of life aboard, including quirky boat design features like the windlass placement, which—unfortunately—channels drips right into the berth. Their good humor underscores a theme that runs throughout the voyage: the ability to laugh at inconveniences and embrace the unpredictability of cruising.As they recount the day's sail, Bela and Mike describe the serene conditions the Champlain Canal. They note the unique blend of rural scenery, historic towns, and quiet stretches of water that make this region a hidden gem for sailors. From the tree-lined banks to the glimpses of wildlife, the passage feels more like a river journey than an open-water crossing, offering a peaceful contrast to earlier, more challenging legs of the trip.Listeners will enjoy the duo's storytelling as they detail the sequence of locks they navigated, the friendly conversations with lockmasters, and the careful boat handling required in narrow channels. For sailors planning a similar voyage, Bela and Mike share practical observations on timing, line handling, and communication—essentials for smooth transits through canal systems.Beyond the technical aspects, this episode captures the camaraderie that develops over weeks at sea. With more than three weeks aboard at this point, Bela and Mike reflect on the rhythms of cruising life: anchoring, marina stops, cooking aboard, and evenings spent recounting the day's adventures. Their partnership and shared enthusiasm for sailing shine through, giving listeners a window into the rewarding blend of challenge and relaxation that long-distance cruising offers.The conversation also touches on the natural beauty of upstate New York, the anticipation of reaching Whitehall, and the excitement of approaching the northern end of their journey. As they near Lake Champlain, both sailors express appreciation for how diverse the East Coast cruising grounds are—from the tidal waters of Georgia and the ICW to the freshwaters of Vermont.Whether you're an experienced sailor, a cruiser planning your own East Coast voyage, or simply someone who enjoys stories from the water, this episode offers both practical insights and entertaining anecdotes. Bela and Mike balance seamanship with humor, making their reflections relatable and engaging for anyone drawn to the cruising lifestyle.Keywords for discovery: sailing podcast, cruising East Coast, Champlain Canal, Schuyler Yacht Basin, Whitehall NY sailing, Lake Champlain sailing, Hunter 44 Deck Salon, long-distance cruising, sailing life stories, liveaboard sailing.Connect With Us:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review—it helps us reach more sailing enthusiasts like you!  Send us your comments and suggestions. sailingtheeast@gmail.comHappy Sailing!Bela and Mike

Vlada bo do desetega novembra pripravila poseben zakon za učinkovitejše zagotavljanje varnosti, zaostrovanje kaznovalne politike in omejitve socialnih pomoči za ponavljajoče se prekrške in kazniva dejanja. Novi zakon se bo imenoval po pokojnem Novomeščanu Alešu Šutarju, je sinoči ob predstavitvi predlaganih ukrepov napovedal predsednik vlade Robert Golob. Izredno sejo novomeškega občinskega sveta je prek video povezave spremljala več-tisoč-glava množica udeležencev protestnega shoda Dovolj je. Na shodu so govornike iz sejne sobe pospremili s ploskanjem ali žvižgi. Po shodu pa so policisti posredovali v romskem naselju Brezje zaradi streljanja iz avtomatskega orožja. V oddaji tudi o tem: - Izrael po strelskem incidentu v Gazi močno okrepil nove napade na enklavo. Bela hiša kljub več deset ubitim meni, da premirje ni ogroženo. - Nizozemci znova izbirajo parlament; po anketah spet vodi skrajno desna stranka Gerta Wildersa, ki pa bo tokrat težko sestavila koalicijo. - Orkan Melisa razdejal Jamajko z vetrovi do 300 kilometrov na uro, zdaj nadaljuje pot proti Bahamom in Kubi.

Sabljanje je šport, ki združuje eleganco, hitrost in zbranost. V Ljubljani ga trenirajo v športnem društvu Tabor, kjer deluje sabljaška sekcija Duel, ki ga predstavljamo v tokratni Nedeljski reportaži. Sabljači so nam pokazali, da sabljanje ni le obračun z orožjem, ampak tudi miselni preizkus. Spoznali smo, kako potekajo treningi in kašna je kultura, ki jih ponuja sabljanje. Mlade in malo manj mlade sabljače je obiskal Miha Žorž.

In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, host Bela Musits continues his journey with fellow sailor Mike Malekoff aboard Mike's Hunter 44 Deck Salon. Recorded during their relocation trip from Brunswick, Georgia to Burlington, Vermont, this installment covers their passage from Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, New York, to Schuyler Yacht Basin on the Hudson River.Bela begins by returning to the boat after two weeks away, delayed both by a family wedding and a lock closure that left them waiting in Catskill. During that time, Mike held down the fort, provisioning the boat and calling daily for updates on when the locks would reopen. Their reunion kicks off with stories of patience, planning, and keeping a cruising sailboat ready for the next leg of the voyage.With the locks finally open, Bela and Mike prepare to head north. Along the way, they share the practical realities of traveling the Hudson River by sailboat, where timing, tides, and locks all play a role. They discuss their departure from Hop-O-Nose, navigating under bridges, and the shifting challenges that come with moving inland toward Lake Champlain.As the Hunter 44 Deck Salon makes her way upriver, the sailors reflect on both the beauty and the logistics of this leg. They talk about the differences between coastal passages and inland waterways—contrasting offshore freedom with the precise planning needed to transit locks, deal with low bridges, and coordinate with marinas like Schuyler Yacht Basin.The episode also highlights the camaraderie and humor that come with long-distance cruising. Bela and Mike joke about the quirks of waiting in Catskill, provisioning a boat for weeks at a time, and managing life aboard when plans change unexpectedly. For listeners curious about the real-world experience of cruising up the Hudson River, their stories bring the journey to life.This conversation isn't just about travel; it's about the mindset of sailors tackling an extended relocation voyage. From patience during delays to the satisfaction of finally getting underway again, Bela and Mike's discussion captures the ebb and flow of cruising life. Listeners will hear what it's like to adapt plans, keep a boat shipshape during downtime, and re-energize when the next opportunity to sail arrives.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:Returning to the boat after delays and a two-week pause.The impact of lock closures on cruising schedules.Provisioning and maintaining a Hunter 44 Deck Salon during extended waits.Departing Hop-O-Nose Marina and heading north on the Hudson River.Strategies for handling locks, bridges, and tides on inland waterways.The transition from offshore passages to river cruising.Reflections on flexibility, patience, and the humor of sailing life.For sailors planning a similar journey—from Catskill to Schuyler Yacht Basin, and eventually into the Champlain Canal—this episode provides both inspiration and practical insights.

There was a sound issues with the original, it has now been fixed.In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, host Bela Musits continues his sailing journey with fellow sailor and boat owner Mike Malekoff aboard Mike's Hunter 44 Deck Salon. Recorded during their trip from Brunswick, Georgia to Burlington, Vermont, this conversation captures the unique challenges and experiences of sailing the Hudson River and preparing for entry into Lake Champlain.Their stop at Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, New York sets the stage for one of the most important milestones of the voyage—taking down the mast. While Bela jokingly describes the marina as “modern, clean, spit-and-span” with a healthy dose of sarcasm, the real reason for the stop is all business. The marina is known for its crane services, making it one of the few places along the Hudson where cruisers can safely unstep a mast before entering the Erie or Champlain Canal.Mike explains why this is necessary: the bridge clearances to Lake Champlain are very restricted at 17 feet. This leaves sailors and many power boaters no choice but to take the mast down or lower their “air draft”. Bela and Mike talk through this process, sharing insights about preparation, marina logistics, and the sometimes nerve-wracking reality of lowering such a large spar from a cruising sailboat.Listeners get a firsthand account of what it's like to deal with this challenge—how boaters coordinate with marina staff, handle rigging, and secure the mast for safe travel. For those planning their own journeys up the Hudson River or through the Champlain or Erie Canal system, this episode provides valuable perspective and practical tips.Beyond the technical side, Bela and Mike reflect on the journey itself. Sailing from Georgia all the way north has already provided them with countless stories, but entering Catskill represents a turning point. It's a reminder that cruising isn't just about open-water sailing; it's also about adapting to inland waterways, marinas, and infrastructure. The camaraderie between sailors, the quirks of small-town stops, and the satisfaction of tackling each obstacle together all shine through in this conversation.For sailing enthusiasts, especially those curious about the Hudson River, Catskill marinas, mast stepping and unstepping, or cruising toward Lake Champlain, this episode is a must-listen. Bela and Mike's humor and storytelling make the technical aspects approachable, while their real-world experiences highlight the rewards and challenges of long-distance cruising on the East Coast.Whether you're planning your own trip up the Hudson, dreaming of exploring Lake Champlain by sailboat, or just love hearing about the realities of life aboard a Hunter 44 Deck Salon, you'll find both inspiration and practical knowledge here.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:Why sailors must take down their mast before entering the Champlain Canal.The role of Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, NY, for mast services.Insights into bridge clearances and challenges of inland waterways.Tips for preparing your sailboat and working with marina crews.Reflections on the journey from Georgia to Vermont aboard a Hunter 44.Humor, camaraderie, and lessons learned along the Hudson River.Join Bela and Mike as they share another chapter in their adventure sailing and cruising the East Coast.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Nicole Bela was brilliant at her job. She could read a room in seconds, remember every donor's story, and raise millions for causes she believed in. But behind the polished professionalism, she was quietly unraveling. The same systems designed to do good were slowly breaking her down, and she couldn't understand why.After being diagnosed with ADHD at 37, just after the birth of her second son, Nicole finally had the missing piece. Suddenly, the patterns made sense: the anxiety that exercise once kept in check, the brain fog after Zoom meetings, the guilt of forgetting critical details while remembering someone's cat's name. What began as relief quickly turned into a mission. Nicole wrote a groundbreaking article for the Association of Fundraising Professionals, “Unmasking Burnout,” connecting the dots between masking, mental health, and why so many fundraisers, especially women, are burning out.In this conversation, Nicole and Tracy unpack why the nonprofit world may be full of undiagnosed neurodivergent professionals, how the pandemic exposed the cracks in traditional workplace culture, and what leaders can do to build real belonging. Nicole also shares how unmasking her ADHD changed the way she leads, works, and parents proving that inclusion starts when we stop pretending and start asking what people truly need to thrive.Resources:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unmaskedartstudio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-bela-msw-cfre-a484571b Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

Ali se v mednarodni politiki 21. stoletja vlade res lahko zanašajo samo še na izsiljevanja in grožnje z uporabo sile – ali pa je druge države vendarle mogoče prepričevati tudi z znanstvenimi in umetnostnimi dosežki ter smelimi idejami?Četudi še nikoli niste bili v Združenih državah, najbrž dobro veste, kaj bi vam rekli tamkajšnji policisti, če bi vas slučajno prijeli – povedali bi vam, da ste aretirani, da imate pravico molčati in da imate pravico do odvetnika. To veste, ker ste si skozi leta ogledali kopico ameriških filmov in televizijskih serij. Pa veste, kaj bi vam v enakem položaju rekli kitajski, ruski, francoski, nemški ali, zakaj pa ne, slovenski policisti? Ne? No, če je tako, tedaj lahko rečemo, da so ameriške kriminalke izvrstno opravile svoje delo in vam približale ameriški vsakdanjik, ameriške vrednote, ameriško kulturo. In domnevati je mogoče, da smo Združenim državam, kadar lomastijo po svetovnem odru in kršijo mednarodno pravo, táko ravnanje marsikje po svetu lažje in hitreje pripravljeni spregledati ali ga opravičiti, ker nas v naših vsakdanjih življenjih pač preplavljajo ameriški filmi in glasba, ker občudujemo prebojnost ameriških vesoljskih in digitalnih tehnologij, ker zagrizeno spremljamo športne tekme v tamkajšnjih profesionalnih ligah. Temu politologi in raziskovalci mednarodnih odnosov menda rečejo mehka moč. In Združenim državam je ne primanjkuje. Ali pač? Zunanja politika druge Trumpove administracije namreč v pomembni meri temelji na grobih grožnjah najstarejšim in najbolj zvestim zaveznicam in tako se postavlja vprašanje, ali filmi in glasba res še lahko amortizirajo tesnobo ob ameriških ozemeljskih pretenzijah po Grenlandiji in Kanadi, ali res še lahko ublažijo ogorčenje ob izsiljevalskih carinah? Pa ne le to; bolj ko se namreč Trumpova administracija – tak je vsaj vtis – požvižga na ugled Združenih držav, bolj ostro se postavlja vprašanje, ali lahko ta trend izkoristijo v poglavitni ameriški tekmici in Kitajsko predstavijo kot tisočletno velesilo, ki ima svetu marsikaj ponuditi – od globoke Konfucijeve filozofske misli prek slastnih mandžurskih cmočkov do osupljivih zmogljivosti futurističnih maglev železnic? In kaj je v takih okoliščinah z mehko močjo drugih akterjev globalne politike od Rusije in Indije do Evropske unije? To so vprašanja, ki so nas zaposlovala v tokratni Intelekti, ko smo pred mikrofonom gostili sinologinjo dr. Heleno Motoh z Znanstveno-raziskovalnega središča Koper ter politologe dr.

Danes je mednarodni dan bele palice. Bela palica je simbol samostojnosti, poguma in dostojanstva slepih in slabovidnih. Delna ali popolna izguba vida vpliva na vsa področja njihovega življenja, nenehno prilagajanje svetu videčih, pa zahteva veliko napora, so zapisali v poslanici Zveze društev slepih in slabovidnih Slovenije, in dodali, da ob tem dnevu želijo videče spomniti na svojo prisotnost v družbi, saj želijo biti aktivni in enakopravni člani. S kakšnimi izzivi se spopadajo v vsakdanjem življenju in kakšne dogodke so pripravili ob tem dnevu, pa v prispevku Petre Medved.

In this episode of Sailing the East Coast with Bela and Mike, co-hosts Bela Musits and Mike Malekoff share the behind-the-scenes reality of cruising life during their stop at Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, New York. While many imagine sailing as endless blue water and perfect winds, the truth is that downtime, maintenance, and unexpected delays are just as much a part of the journey. This candid conversation captures the balance of adventure and patience required when traveling by sailboat.Bela and Mike are sailing aboard a Hunter 44 Deck Salon, making their way North on the Hudson River as part of a longer voyage from Brunswick GA to Burlington VT. In this episode, they reflect on their “down day” at Hop-O-Nose, a marina well-known to cruisers as a staging point for stepping and unstepping masts before transiting the Erie Canal or continuing south toward the Intracoastal Waterway.The day unfolds differently than planned. Instead of logging nautical miles, the crew spends time at the dock—handling small projects, enjoying the marina atmosphere, and preparing for the next leg of their trip. Bela and Mike discuss the realities of cruising life, where flexibility is key. Weather, equipment, or marina schedules can change the best-laid plans, and experienced sailors learn to take those pauses in stride.They highlight the community aspect of sailing stops like Hop-O-Nose, where boaters heading in different directions cross paths, trade stories, and offer advice. For Bela and Mike, this downtime becomes an opportunity to meet fellow sailors, learn from others' experiences, and appreciate the rhythms of the cruising lifestyle.Bela and Mike share how a “down day” can actually be one of the most important parts of a voyage. It's a chance to:Check equipment and sails to ensure everything is in good order before the next offshore or river passage.Rest and recharge, both physically and mentally, before the next demanding stretch of sailing.Reflect on the journey so far, taking in the unique character of each port along the way.The conversation also touches on how seasoned sailors approach expectations differently than newcomers. Instead of focusing solely on the destination, they embrace the process—the weather delays, the maintenance, and the unexpected layovers—as part of the adventure.The Hunter 44 Deck Salon proves to be a capable and comfortable cruising vessel, but like any boat, it requires care and attention. The downtime at Hop gives Bela and Mike the chance to double-check systems and make sure they're ready for what's ahead.This episode offers listeners a grounded perspective on what it really means to cruise by sailboat:Not every day is about miles sailed—sometimes progress looks like rest, repairs, and reflection.Community and camaraderie among sailors are just as rewarding as the destinations themselves.Flexibility and patience are essential skills for anyone cruising the coast or tackling longer passages.For sailors planning their own trips along the Hudson River or down the East Coast, Bela and Mike's conversation is both relatable and informative. Whether you're curious about life aboard a cruising sailboat, interested in the logistics of marina stops, or simply love stories of life on the water, this episode delivers authentic insights into the cruising lifestyle.Keywords for SEO: sailing podcast, Hudson River sailing, Hop-O-Nose Marina, Hunter 44 Deck Salon, Catskill NY sailing, cruising lifestyle, East Coast sailing, liveaboard sailors, Intracoastal Waterway journey, sailboat downtime, marina life, sailing stories.Connect With Us:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review—it helps us reach more sailing enthusiasts like you!  Send us your comments and suggestions. sailingtheeast@gmail.comHappy Sailing!Bela and MikeLife at Hop-O-Nose MarinaSailing Lessons from DowntimeKey Takeaways for Cruisers and Sailing Enthusiasts

In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, Bela Musits and co-host Mike Wasserman welcome Robert Sweet — a sailor with an unconventional beginning. Robert lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, far from the ocean. Yet his passion for sailing grew steadily, from childhood outings on a 19-foot O'Day Day Sailer to charting trips in the Virgin Islands.Bela and Robert dive into the unique challenges and rewards of becoming a boat owner later in life. Robert shares how he and his wife — both in their 60s — transitioned from occasional day sails on vacation to seriously planning for boat ownership. Their journey began with modest sailing experiences with the occasional skippered day sail. Over decades, the idea of owning a boat evolved from a casual dream into a concrete goal.To prepare, Robert and his wife booked progressively more immersive sailing experiences. They spent a night aboard a sailboat on Puget Sound, completed ASA 101 and 103 courses in San Diego, and tested overnight stays in various harbors. Each step helped fill gaps in their knowledge.The couple planned two key charters to shape their buying decisions: a three-day trip in the Florida Keys aboard a heavy, blue-water center-cockpit boat, and a week in the Virgin Islands on a modern production cruiser — a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey. Their goal was to compare styles, comfort, and performance before committing to a purchase.But as often happens, life intervened. The Florida Keys trip was postponed three times — first by Robert's mountain biking injury, then by his wife's back surgery, and finally by scheduling changes. Eventually, they made the Keys trip in December, followed by the Virgin Islands charter over Easter.During the downtime, Robert immersed himself in research — online articles, boat buying guides, and, crucially, sailing podcasts. He discovered Bela's show and was struck by the host's perspective as an “older buyer.” Unlike the typical narrative of a 30-year-old dropping everything to sail away, Bela's discussions addressed the practical realities of starting serious sailing later in life: ergonomics, safety, injury prevention, and choosing a boat suited to physical comfort.Robert emphasizes that boat accessibility is a real concern. Newer boats often have higher freeboards, making boarding a challenge — especially for shorter crew members. Testing boarding methods became part of their evaluation process when visiting marinas and inspecting potential boats.Robert's story is a reminder that you don't have to grow up near the sea to become a competent and passionate sailor. His methodical approach — gaining experience in varied conditions, learning boat systems, and realistically assessing personal capabilities — offers valuable lessons for anyone considering buying a boat later in life.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:Growing up sailing small boats and rediscovering the sport decades laterTransitioning from day sails to overnight trips and multi-day chartersTaking ASA sailing courses to build confidence and competenceComparing blue-water cruisers vs. modern production boatsOvercoming physical and logistical challenges as older sailorsHow to evaluate boarding ease, cockpit layout, and overall ergonomicsThe importance of testing boats in different sailing locations and conditionsWhether you're an experienced sailor, a dreamer still waiting to cast off, or someone returning to sailing after many years, Robert's journey proves that passion and persistence can bridge the gap between landlocked life and cruising the Bahamas.Connect With Us:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review—it helps us reach more sailing enthusiasts like you!  Send us your comments and suggestions. sailingtheeast@gmail.comHappy Sailing!Bela and Mike

We're back to our regular, boring, non-Twilight programming. Boo. But the big take-away is that it's 10:00 PM - do you know where your corpses are?Host segments: toot/Tud/tut-triple threat; just want people to be silky-smooth; Elizabeth Bathory buzzkills; you juiced her, you bought her; are coffins built for comfort?; these glands are drastically under-used; the Hays code and Hirohito did this.

We've all been there—betrayed, blindsided, or just broken open by love gone wrong. But what if your biggest heartbreak could lead you to your biggest breakthrough? In this rich, soul-stirring conversation, Bela sits down with Arielle Ford—bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and modern-day love alchemist—to talk about her first novel, The Love Thief. Part spiritual romance, part thriller, this story takes readers on a wild emotional ride through heartbreak, karma, and ultimately, deep healing. With her signature wisdom and warmth, Arielle opens up about the real-life inspiration behind the book (yes, some of it really happened), how her own journeys through India shaped the mystical elements of the story, and why she believes healing our hearts is the ultimate act of self-love. Whether you're recovering from a relationship that shook you to your core—or you're simply craving a juicy, wise read that blends love with spiritual insight—this episode will crack your heart wide open in the best way.
