In this week's episod, we arediving into a topic that isn't talked about enough: consent in spirituality. I'm breaking down why consent is so important in this work, how to ensure you're always asking before sharing or doing anything energetically, and why this simple act builds trust and integrity with your clients. We'll talk about what Reiki is and what I call Reiki "plus," which is anything you add to your Reiki sessions. If you're bringing in cards, messages, crystals, mediumship, or anything extra, you must ask for consent. I'm sharing my best practices for getting clear, informed consent in your sessions, along with my biggest pet peeves when it comes to how I see practitioners getting it wrong. This episode is a must-listen for anyone offering spiritual or energetic services, whether you're a Reiki practitioner, or reader of any kind. Tune in to learn why consent is a cornerstone of ethical spiritual work. Learn how to clearly communicate with clients before a session. Understand the difference between Reiki and Reiki "plus." Hear examples of where consent is often missed. And get my personal tips for staying in integrity as a practitioner. Listen now to learn how to keep your work grounded, respectful, and aligned with the highest good, always with consent first.

On December 1, 2018, 22-year-old backpacker Grace Millane met a man for a Tinder date in Auckland; within days she was missing, and soon a homicide investigation revealed CCTV trails, a calculated cleanup, and a killer who tried to hide behind the so-called “rough sex” defense. This episode traces Grace's life and travels, the meticulous police work that unraveled the lie, the trial that led to a murder conviction, and the global backlash that helped spur legal reforms aimed at preventing abusers from blaming victims.Sources:The Lie: The Murder of Grace Millane (documentary) — https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/the-lie-the-murder-of-grace-millane/umc.cmc.25e1hupsruxwcfvbjnixz7mtrSupreme Court of New Zealand, Jesse Shane Kempson v R (PDF) — https://www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases/2021/2021-NZSC-74.pdfRNZ, The Grace Millane case: A timeline — https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/410039/the-grace-millane-case-a-timelineRNZ, Grace Millane's killer named as Jesse Kempson after Supreme Court appeal denied — https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/433383/grace-millane-s-killer-named-as-jesse-kempson-after-supreme-court-appeal-deniedNew Zealand Police, Update – Grace Millane investigation — https://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/update-grace-millane-investigation-1UK Government, Domestic Abuse Act factsheet: Consent to serious harm for sexual gratification not a defence — https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-abuse-bill-2020-factsheets/consent-to-serious-harm-for-sexual-gratification-not-a-defenceUK Legislation, Domestic Abuse Act 2021, Section 72 — https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2021/17/section/72NZ Herald, Grace Millane murder: Killer jailed for a minimum of 17 years — https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/grace-millane-murder-killer-jailed-for-a-minimum-of-17-years/P6RDWB4JUETPINBVWC5UH6HH6Y/The Guardian, Grace Millane trial: jury shown CCTV of accused moving suitcase with body inside — https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/13/grace-millane-trial-jury-shown-cctv-of-accused-transporting-suitcase-with-body-insideTIME, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Offers Emotional Apology to Family of Murdered British Tourist — https://time.com/5475149/jacinda-ardern-grace-millane-new-zealand-murder/This Week's Episode Brought To You By: IndaCloud - If you're 21 or older, get 25% OFF your first order + free shipping with code lovemurder at https://inda.shop/lovemurder!Shopify - $1 per month trial - http://shopify.com/lovemurderCure - 20% off your first order - https://www.curehydration.com/lovemurderHoneylove - Treat yourself to the best shapewear on the market and save 20% off at honeylove.com/lovemurderFind LOVE MURDER online:Website: lovemurder.loveInstagram: @lovemurderpodTwitter: @lovemurderpodFacebook: LoveMrdrPodTikTok: @LoveMurderPodPatreon: /LoveMurderPodCredits: Love Murder is hosted by Jessie Pray and Andie Cassette, researched by Sarah Lynn Robinson and researched and written by Jessie Pray, produced by Nathaniel Whittemore and edited by Kyle Barbour-HoffmanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jonathan Drake continues his deep exploration of Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority by unpacking Sections 6 and 7, where Spooner exposes how the Constitution grants government agents “absolute and irresponsible power.” Jonathan examines the Speech and Debate Clause and its implications for unchecked authority, connecting it to modern examples like immunity for lawmakers and pharmaceutical companies. Through first principles and natural law, he explains how property rights, consent, and personal sovereignty intersect, and how the Constitution, as written, effectively transforms citizens into property of the state. With analogies ranging from tree service contracts to modern elections, Jonathan drives home how accountability was designed out of the system, leaving Americans with only the illusion of choice. The episode closes with Spooner's haunting observation that “a man is nonetheless a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.” Insightful, challenging, and uncompromising, this installment lays bare the philosophical and moral contradictions at the heart of American governance.

Introduction: In this episode, we are joined by Molly Whiteside, a psychology student at Nottingham Trent University, to discuss her recent research report, "Am I Being Served?" which explores emotional exploitation in the hospitality industry. With lived experience in the field, Molly delves into the prevalence of economic and verbal exploitation, unsafe working conditions, and the lack of psychological safety faced by young employees. We explore the surprising and often shocking findings from her research, which combines quantitative and qualitative data to paint a vivid picture of the challenges faced by 16-25 year olds in the workplace. From unfair pay and a lack of job security to the gendered nature of harassment, this episode uncovers the root causes of these issues and offers practical advice for young people, managers, and the industry as a whole. Show Notes: Welcome and an Unexpected Question (00:09 - 05:25): We welcome Molly Whiteside to the podcast and kick things off with our signature unexpected question: "What kind of person makes a good seat companion on an aeroplane?". The Motivation Behind the Research (05:26 - 07:50): Molly explains what prompted her to research emotional exploitation in the hospitality industry, drawing from her personal experiences and observations of a lack of psychological safety in the workplace. Surprising Findings and Statistics (07:51 - 12:01): We dive into the most surprising findings from Molly's research, including the high prevalence of exploitation, with around 70% of people having experienced some form of it. We also discuss the demographic focus of the survey, which was on 16 to 25-year-olds. Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data (12:02 - 16:25): Molly breaks down the differences between what the numbers and the stories revealed. While quantitative data showed middle-of-the-road satisfaction with treatment, the qualitative data uncovered a wealth of personal experiences, particularly highlighting the different types of exploitation faced by women compared to men. Job Security, Pay, and Communication (16:26 - 19:56): We explore the statistics around job security, with 35% of participants feeling confident they wouldn't be unfairly dismissed, but 10% feeling the complete opposite. Molly also touches on the disconnect between employees feeling comfortable talking to colleagues but not managers. Recommendations for a Better Workplace (19:57 - 23:43): Molly offers actionable recommendations for young people, managers, and the hospitality industry as a whole. For young people, it's about education and knowing your rights. For employers, it's about creating psychological safety and not letting biases control employee treatment. For the industry, it's a call for more robust policies and training, especially in smaller businesses. What's Next for Molly? (23:44 - 26:12): Molly shares her exciting future plans, including her role in the "Women in Business" society, becoming a "Consent is Everything" workshop facilitator, and starting her own podcast aimed at students. Wrapping Up (26:13 - 28:00): We thank Molly for her invaluable contributions to the podcast and her work with us.

Ever wondered why someone pays to be dominated? In this electrifying episode, I sit down with Miss May, a professional dominatrix, dungeon owner, and kink educator based in London and Berlin. We unpack what it really means to be a dominatrix — from understanding BDSM and power exchange to why humiliation and taboo fantasies can actually be healing. Ms. May shares what her clients request most, how kink can create emotional release, and what it's like to separate her professional “Mistress” persona from her personal life.This is not your typical sex conversation — it's raw, fascinating, and deeply human.

What happens when a for-profit giant "helps" nonprofits without asking first? Spoiler: chaos, confusion, and a lot of angry fundraisers. In this episode, I sat down with my good friend and fundraising pro, Ephraim Gopin of 1832 Communications, to unpack the wild story of GoFundMe auto-creating donation pages for 1.4 million nonprofits — without their consent. Real Listener Question: "What do we do if our nonprofit suddenly has a GoFundMe page we didn't create? Is that even legal?" When news broke that GoFundMe scraped IRS data to create "official" donation pages for nonprofits, my inbox blew up. In this episode, Ephraim and I dig into what this means for your organization — from donor confusion to legal implications — and why this so-called "help" might do more harm than good. We cover everything from the basics of what a good donation page should look like, to why this move could affect your nonprofit's SEO, compliance status, and even your donor relationships. What You'll Learn: What a solid, conversion-ready donation page really needs Why GoFundMe's "auto-created" nonprofit pages are a huge problem How this affects your branding, donor data, and trust Why accepting those donations could mess with your state fundraising compliance Whether you should claim your page, delete it, or ignore it entirely How big platforms exploit "helping nonprofits" to make a profit And what to do right now if your org was affected Bottom line: Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's ethical. Nonprofits deserve respect — not to be treated like SEO bait. Whether you're claiming or deleting your GoFundMe page, make sure the donations that come in are on your terms.

Federated Farmers vice president Colin Hurst discusses the complexities and costs associated with agricultural regulations. With the RMA currently being reformed by the government, Colin says all consents should be rolled over, rather than forcing farmers to renew them under the outgoing regulatory regime.

Este episodio revela cómo Consent Mode 2.0 puede recuperar conversiones en Europa en 2025 al pedir permiso de forma clara. Si no lo haces bien, pierdes datos y subestimas ventas. Con un modo de consentimiento bien configurado, incluso sin cookies activadas, tus herramientas pueden estimar parte de las ventas manteniendo la privacidad. Presenta un plan de cinco pasos: un aviso de cookies claro con dos botones visibles (aceptar/rechazar), que el aviso se conecte con tus herramientas para medir al aceptar y para estimar al rechazar, enfocar la medición en la venta clave, repetir la promesa en la página y revisar informes semanalmente para ver ventas reales y estimadas.Un caso real ilustra el punto: una tienda de lámparas perdió un 30% de conversiones, pero al mejorar el banner, activar la estimación cuando alguien no acepta y centrarse en la compra como objetivo, recuperó gran parte de la atribución en tres semanas. Consejos prácticos: evita mensajes técnicos, añade consentimiento para comunicaciones en formularios, muestra la fecha de actualización de la política y vigila el porcentaje de aceptación; si baja, prueba texto y diseño más claros. En pocas palabras: en 2025 medir bien en Europa significa pedir permiso claro, conectar herramientas y enfocarte en el evento que genera ingresos para obtener estimaciones fiables sin invadir la privacidad.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/marketing-digital--2659763/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

There's some disappointment from a sexual education expert over new Government curriculum changes. Education Minister Erica Stanford has released her draft Year 1-to-10 curriculum for six months feedback from schools and educators. A key change is making consent education compulsory in health and physical education. But therapist and parenting educator Jo Robertson says the guidelines don't mention the word 'consent' until Year 3. "We need kids to know that if somebody touches their body that that's sexual harm and that's not okay. So for me, it doesn't quite meet the mark."

Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, dissecting sections four and five with philosophical precision and relatable humor. Building on Spooner's radical claim that the U.S. Constitution was never a binding contract, Drake explores what truly defines consent under natural law, examining why writing, signing, and delivery are essential for legitimacy. Using vivid examples and biblical parallels, he unpacks how even everyday receipts and legal signatures reflect the moral order embedded in human nature. Along the way, Jonathan weaves in live chat commentary, Nietzsche quotes, and a playful nod to comedian Mitch Hedberg to highlight the absurdity of modern governance. From Spooner's critique of government authority to Drake's reflections on morality, faith, and free will, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what it really means to “consent to be governed.”

In this illuminating episode of Open Deeply, hosts Sunny Megatron and Kate Loree dive into the groundbreaking work of Dr. Betty Martin, creator of The Wheel of Consent—a framework that has transformed how people understand giving, receiving, and the subtle power dynamics within touch, communication, and pleasure. Together, we explore how the Wheel challenges our cultural assumptions about consent, revealing that true consent isn't just about saying “yes” or “no”—it's about learning who it's for, what we actually want, and how to stay connected to our body's truth in every interaction. Dr. Martin shares the personal and professional experiences that inspired her to create this model and offers practical tools for anyone wishing to live more in alignment with consent—whether in intimate encounters, friendships, workplaces, or everyday exchanges. The conversation also delves into: • How to unlearn social conditioning that teaches us to please or freeze • Using the Wheel as a trauma-informed path toward nervous system regulation and safety in receiving • Exploring desire and arousal beyond shame while maintaining clear ethical boundaries • How consent work intersects with equity, privilege, and dismantling domination patterns So please join us as we once again dare to Open Deeply. Betty Martin's Bio: Dr. Betty Martin has had her hands on people professionally for over 40 years. After retiring from being a Chiropractor, she became a certified Surrogate Partner and Somatic Sex Educator. Her explorations in somatic-based therapy and practices informed her creation of the now famous, Wheel of Consent. Betty developed the training "Like a Pro: The Wheel of Consent for Professionals", to support practitioners to create empowered agreements in their client sessions. Originally developed to teach consent skills to sex workers and touch providers, the training is now attended by somatic therapists, sexuality educators, medical and health care workers, activists, and the spectrum of touch-based professional providers. It starts with touch and expands into all forms of human relating.

What happens when surrender becomes sacred? When boundaries are not barriers—but bridges to deeper intimacy? Meet one of the most influential voices in modern kink culture. Janet Hardy is today's guest. She's the co-author of the revolutionary The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures and Radical Ecstasy: SM Journeys to Transcendence … to name just two of her books. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Listeners of The Weekly Hot Spot podcast, sent in a lot of questions and inspired this intimate conversation.Topics include:The intersections of power, pain, love and liberation.Myths and fears about ethical non-monogamy in kink spaces.Details about the new Workbook for The Ethical Slut.When Janet shares about how real change begins with honest self-inquiry, not permission from others, all three women talk about claiming their own personal erotic power. What does it mean to really choose who you are in your relationships? And, what is beyond tolerating a relationship. Hint: it's not always easy or safe to open up to this view of love and pleasure.  Janet talks about building emotional resilience when having these vulnerable conversations.You'll hear Mistress Olivia's personal reflection on how Radical Ecstasy transformed her understanding of Dominance and submission — not as control, but as co-created surrender. “Pain is not the goal. Surrender is.” That one line shifted everything. Together, they explore how power exchange is one of the most intimate acts we're capable of — a dance where trust becomes tangible, and vulnerability becomes strength.We also tackle real listener questions:A trans woman shares her experience of feeling Dominant with male partners and submissive with female ones — is this a known dynamic? Janet offers thoughtful insight into gendered power dynamics and erotic archetypes.For the nervous beginner — especially the "vanilla wife" being asked to step into Dominance — what are the real fears women face? Spoiler: It's not about lack of interest. It's about responsibility, judgment, and the weight of expectation.And then… the eternal debate: Who's really in control — the Domme or the sub? Janet's answer may surprise you. (Hint: It's not a power struggle — it's a paradox.)Finally, for those walking the spiritual edge of kink, we explore how to distinguish emotional overwhelm from authentic spiritual surrender — because not every tear in a scene is transcendence.

In 2018, a victim by the alias, ‘EM' meets a Junior hockey player at a bar who invites her to spend the night with him. She consents to having intimate relations with this singular player. By the next morning, EM survives a gang assault at the hands of 10 to 16 other players that the original player had invited back to the hotel room without EM knowing. She would go onto testify about these events seven years later in 2025. Only five of the men get charged and go to trial.All five of the men are found not guilty. The case divides basically all of North America and women begin coming forward with their own stories including one that seemingly involves the original player who invited his teammates to the hotel room. Could it all be connected? One thing is for sure: all of these cases of alleged gang assault involve players from the Junior hockey league, aka the ones with the ‘Bible' on how to assault women. This is part two of Canada's continuous gang assault scandals.   Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this follow-up to Part 1, I continue my candid conversation with licensed professional counselor and AASECT-certified sex therapist Kelvin Pace, diving even deeper into what consensual non-monogamy really looks like in practice. From swinging to polyamory to kink, we unpack the myths, labels, and lived realities behind open relationships. Kelvin explains why communication and consent—not structure—define success, and why non-monogamous relationships can often be just as loving and committed as traditional ones. We also explore the overlap between kink and CNM, how the military became part of swinging lore, and the importance of sex-positive therapy that challenges bias instead of pathologizing pleasure.Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome back & why you should listen to Part 1 first00:58 – Do open marriages usually end?02:03 – Swinging vs. polyamory: orientation or play?04:25 – The many forms of consensual non-monogamy06:10 – How kink overlaps (and doesn't) with CNM08:02 – The biggest myths about non-monogamy10:10 – Therapy, bias, and the importance of consent12:05 – Parenting and openness about sexuality14:00 – Did swinging really start in the military?15:22 – Kelvin's quick-fire questions: definition, orgasm, fantasy17:00 – Where to find Kelvin Want a deeper look?

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:This episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast features host Ali in an in-depth, compassionate conversation with Darshana Avila, a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner, and sexological bodyworker known for her appearance on Sex, Love & Goop. Together, they explore the intersections of sexuality, embodiment, grief, and healing, discussing how slowing down, attuning to one's body, and embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connection and erotic wholeness. Darshana explains her integrative approach to sexological bodywork—helping clients safely explore pleasure, boundaries, and self-awareness—as well as the broader cultural conditioning that fuels shame, inhibition, and disconnection. Touching on topics from trauma and consent to the cultural devaluation of grief and sensuality, the conversation becomes a profound reflection on how reclaiming our embodied erotic selves is both personal healing and social activism, ultimately a journey toward fuller, freer, and more loving humanityFOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE DARSHANA AVILA:BIO:Darshana 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 authentic connection. Known for her grounded, candid, and relational approach, she bridges the worlds of embodiment, emotional intelligence, and personal agency with depth and accessibility.Darshana's work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts including the most downloaded episode of Shameless Sex Podcast in 2024, the goop Podcast and the Sexology Podcast. PROMO LINKdarshanaavila.com (depending on the release date, we might ask that you feature her upcoming retreat darshanaavila.com/radical-rejuvenation)SOCIAL HANDLESinstagram.com/darshana_avilayoutube.com/@darshana-avilalinkedin.com/in/darshana-avilaskool.com/galgasmOTHER RESOURCES, LINKS AND INSPIRATIONS:Betty Martin's The Brilliant Body Podcast episode: The Receiving and Giving Body with Dr Betty Martin, Creator of The Wheel of ConsentLike A Pro: Training for touch professionalsTHE WHEEL OF CONSENT explainedGwyneth Paltrow's SEX, LOVE and GOOPSexological BodyworkCis-women definition: a woman whose gender identity aligns with the sex she was assigned at birth, which was female.

The fear of Chronos' time is a metaphor for being enslaved by deadlines and schedules, while Kairos is the critical moment for decisive action or significant change. It represents a fleeting window of opportunity for decisive action, a "light bulb moment" where conditions are perfect for a crucial act, such as an archer taking a perfect shot or a weaver working through a narrow gap in their loom. The concept is used in various fields to describe the importance of timeliness and seizing the right moment, such as in rhetoric, advertising, journalism, and religious contexts. Vaginismis: Involuntary spasms of the vaginal muscles that make penetration difficult or impossible.[From time to time, a word or phrase goes wonky.

This conversation delves into the complexities of criminal law, focusing on major offenses beyond homicide, including assault, battery, sexual offenses, theft, robbery, arson, burglary, and kidnapping. The discussion emphasizes the evolution of legal definitions and standards, particularly in relation to consent and the mens rea required for various crimes. The speakers highlight the importance of understanding both historical common law and modern statutes, as well as the implications of legal reforms on individual culpability and societal norms.In the ever-evolving landscape of criminal law, understanding the nuances of major crimes is crucial. From assault to theft, and the profound shifts in sexual offense statutes, this exploration delves into the intricate distinctions that shape legal analysis today.The Evolution of Assault and Battery: Assault and battery, often used interchangeably in everyday language, hold distinct legal meanings. Battery involves the unlawful application of force resulting in harmful or offensive contact, while assault centers on the fear of imminent harm. The case of People v. Martinez highlights how even a simple poke can constitute battery if it violates personal dignity.Theft: A Matrix of Intent and Deception: Theft law is a labyrinth of definitions, from larceny to embezzlement. Understanding the intent to permanently deprive and the nuances of possession versus title is key. Larceny by trick and false pretenses illustrate how deception plays a pivotal role in determining the nature of the crime.Sexual Offenses: Shifting Paradigms of Consent: The transformation from common law to modern statutes in sexual offenses reflects a broader understanding of autonomy and consent. The shift from resistance requirements to affirmative consent models underscores the law's attempt to protect sexual agency while grappling with the balance between clear rules and individual culpability.Conclusion: As criminal law continues to evolve, the tension between traditional culpability and modern preventive standards remains a central debate. This exploration serves as a guide for navigating these complexities, whether for academic pursuits or a deeper understanding of the law.Subscribe Now: Stay informed on the latest in legal analysis and insights.

Rediscovering yourself after divorce—especially during midlife and menopause—can feel overwhelming. When decades of partnership end, you're left asking: Who am I now? What do I really want? And if you're thinking about dating again, how do you navigate desire, boundaries, and intimacy in this completely new chapter?Dr. Jasmonae Joyriel, licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Ignite Anew, helps high-performing individuals and couples transform their relationships, friendships, and sex lives. A Spelman alumna with advanced degrees from Northwestern University and the University of Denver, she brings nearly a decade of experience across mental health centers, VA hospitals, and private practice. Specializing in how past experiences shape present needs, Dr. Joyriel offers a holistic, evidence-based, and embodied approach that goes beyond mindset to create mind-health. She delivers personalized therapy, couples work, and immersive retreats that empower clients to navigate sex, dating, friendships, and personal growth with depth and lasting fulfillment.Highlights from our discussion include:Before entering the dating world, reconnect with who you are now—not who you were in your twenties or thirties. Explore what brings you to life, revisit shelved dreams, and give yourself permission to want what you truly desire. If you don't know how to date yourself, you can't authentically date someone else.You're ready when you're dating because it adds to your life (not anchors it), when you've identified your contribution to past relationship dynamics, and when you can articulate how you want to date—casually, for commitment, or somewhere in between. Dating should feel like "sprinkles on top," not the whole pie.Your values have likely evolved since your last relationship. Clarify what matters now: What does generosity look like in a partner? What inspires you versus deprives you? Defining these before dating ensures your compass points north every time.Menopause, body changes, and shifting desire call for a more expansive "erotic pantry." Move beyond penetrative sex to include sensual massage, kissing, touch, and varied forms of pleasure. Consent isn't binary—it's created fresh each time by asking, "What do I want to do today?"Have adult conversations about sexual health, testing, and relationship structures within the first few dates. Discuss these topics in non-sexual settings (over coffee, during a walk) so decisions aren't made in heated moments. Your safety and agency matter, and the right partner will respect that.CONNECT WITH DR JASMONAE JOYRIEL:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInCONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with Gabriella! The information shared on Pleasure in the Pause is for educational and informational purposes onGo to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

What if your “consent” to be governed was the biggest con in history?We've been duped into thinking “government” was meant to serve us, when our so-called consent has been the control mechanism all along.In this straight-shooting conversation, I sit down with Michael Joseph and Daniel Mentz of Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship to unpack the core principles of self-governance — the real-deal kind, rooted in natural law, personal authority, and the reclamation of our agency.We talk lawful sovereignty, the consent trap, and how language and conditioning keep us outsourcing our power to systems built to harvest it. This isn't abstract theory — it's a call to remember who we are, to stop consenting to control, and to start governing ourselves like the self-sovereign beings we are.If you've ever looked around and thought, “Wait, who put these people in charge of my life?” — this episode will light you up.Watch on Odysee.

I'm what you might call Consent Happy and I'm in no way being sarcastic, I CRAVE consent, in fact--for all manner of interactions and activities,  Consent is Informed, Conscious, Revocable, Affirmative, Voluntary and Enthusiastic,  The first letters of which spell out “I CRAVE”--thus satisfying my poetic sensitivities.   [full text below] Ep. 425 - Consent Happy We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! I'm what you might call Consent Happy and I'm in no way being sarcastic, I CRAVE consent, in fact--for all manner of interactions and activities,  Consent is Informed, Conscious, Revocable, Affirmative, Voluntary and Enthusiastic,  The first letters of which spell out “I CRAVE”--thus satisfying my poetic sensitivities. Consent must be Informed or else you won't know what you're agreeing to, And Conscious, since you can't agree if you're all passed out with nowhere to go, And Revocable, meaning you can take it back if that's what you want to do, And Affirmative, meaning it's a clear decision and not just the absence of the word No. Consent must also be Voluntary, and not the result of some pressure or threat, And it must be Enthusiastic, meaning it is clearly, positively and actively stated, And I CRAVE Consent because this world doesn't seem to have gotten that memo yet, This means I think people should ask before they so much as hug--even if you're related. Maybe someone's suddenly shy, or has back pain or just feels icky inside, Consent is just a good habit to get into as it gives people a choice, And it also means that people who do the asking have to be okay with being denied, ‘Cause it defeats the whole purpose if nobody listens to your voice. And the right of Consent is not just for some people, but for everyone, Regardless of gender, age, culture, relationship or any previous consent, Just ‘cause you hugged somebody once doesn't mean consent is over and done-- Reestablish it each and every time in case something changed in preference or intent. Now I know this must seem like overkill to some folks ‘cause who's going to bother? Like, what kid is really going to ask for consent to hug or kiss his mother or father? And I get that, which is why I say it's something I CRAVE, since I know it's in short supply, And I can't even claim that I always insist that others comply. Sometimes it's tough to stop someone before they grab you, And saying something then might be seen as unfriendly and a bit cuckoo, But I still prefer consent, regardless, and I want to normalize it, So let it just be a reminder that we all should decide what we're willing to permit. Haha Yowza

Consent isn't one-size-fits-all. In this eye-opening discussion, John and Jackie from OpenLove101.com unpack the many ways couples define and navigate consent—highlighting how mutual respect, trust, and open communication are the keys to maintaining freedom without slipping into control.

Whether you're exploring non-monogamy or strengthening your monogamous relationship, this video offers vital insight on building a balanced and trusting connection.

Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, dissecting Section 3 and exposing the illusion of voluntary consent in taxation and governance. He unpacks Spooner's argument that taxes, enforced under threat, are no different than theft by a “highwayman”, except the robber is more honest about his intentions than the government. Through Spooner's lens, Jonathan explores how the secret ballot conceals true authority, why voters can't possibly consent to laws they never agreed to, and how the state's monopoly on force violates natural law. Drawing connections from the Civil War to modern examples like Waco, Ruby Ridge, and January 6th, he reveals how coercion remains the cornerstone of political power. With sharp wit and calm conviction, Jonathan ties Spooner's 19th-century logic to today's crises, arguing that property taxes, foreign wars, and global corruption all stem from the same fraudulent social contract. The episode closes with a hopeful challenge: reclaiming liberty through understanding, self-sovereignty, and the timeless truth that consent cannot be compelled.

Start with the picture: tech titans quietly building bunkers while the rest of us watch AI sprint ahead and our living rooms turn into ad servers. That tension—between private safety and public risk—frames a candid hour where we press on what's hype, what's harmful, and what's actually helpful. We dig into why billionaire doomsday prep resonates right now, and what it signals about trust, resilience, and the future they anticipate versus the future we'll all inhabit.Then we wade into the strangest corner of AI culture: a talkative bot that minted meme-coin millions, wrote its own gospel, and flirts with legal personhood. We separate sentience from simulation, explain how charisma and coherence can mask a total lack of empathy, and ask the uncomfortable questions about liability, rights, and regulation when autonomous-seeming agents start moving money and minds. If attention is the new currency, this is the stress test for platforms, investors, and policymakers.On the ground level, we assess a “free” 55-inch TV that tracks what you watch, for how long, what you search, what you buy, and who's standing in front of the screen. Is a slick dual-display and soundbar worth perpetual surveillance? We break down the real ad-tech economics, what you give up, and why “everyone already tracks you” isn't a good reason to go further. For balance, our Gadgets & Gear segment spotlights the Power Cube Titan—a solid-state power bank with fast charging, wireless pads, Apple Watch support, international adapters, and pass-through power. Safer chemistry and fewer bricks in your bag? That's convenience we can get behind.We wrap with a spirited Wild Turkey 101 rye tasting that splits the table on value and profile, plus a look at Discord's data breach and the rising trend of blaming third-party vendors. If you care about AI safety, privacy, cybersecurity, practical travel tech, and honest gear takes, you'll feel right at home. Enjoy the ride, then tell us where you stand: bunker, bot, or big screen?

Jonathan Drake returns for Episode 2 of The No Treason Podcast to dig deeper into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority. This week, Drake unpacks Section 2, Spooner's argument that voting does not equal consent, and why the U.S. Constitution fails as a legitimate social contract under natural law. He breaks down Spooner's ten points on how the act of voting, secret ballots, taxation, and involuntary participation expose the illusion of “consent of the governed.” With historical insight, humor, and a touch of philosophy, Jonathan guides listeners through the uncomfortable but liberating realization that true liberty can't be legislated. It's a masterclass in critical thinking for anyone ready to question the foundation of American governance.

How can you tell if a root canal treatment is truly successful? Do you always need cuspal coverage after a root canal? Are hand files still relevant, or has rotary completely taken over? And does GP pumping really improve the effectiveness of irrigants like hypochlorite? Emma returns for another Protrusive Student Series episode as she heads into her final year of dental school. Together, we explore the fundamentals of endodontics - covering restoration choices, success criteria, instrumentation, and irrigation protocols. This episode breaks down the basics every student and young dentist should understand, while also tackling the common debates and real-world challenges of endo. https://youtu.be/DK1ZAEPE_E4 Watch PS017 on YouTube Key Takeaways Understanding the 'why' behind dental procedures is crucial for effective practice. Both hand files and rotary files have their place in endodontics, especially for beginners. Good irrigation techniques are essential for effective endodontic treatment. Rubber dam isolation is critical for safe and effective endodontic procedures. Learning to determine the master apical file size is a key skill in endodontics. The use of EDTA helps in removing the smear layer during root canal treatment. Endodontic specialists often use advanced techniques and tools for more efficient treatments. Success in endodontics is not just about radiographs, it is sometimes defined by patient comfort and healing. Cuspal coverage is often necessary after root canal treatment. Patient communication is key to managing expectations. Consent forms should be tailored to individual cases. Understanding proprioception is important for tooth preservation.

Kimberly is joined by luminary thinker Dr. Betty Martin as they discuss the evolution and impact of the Wheel of Consent, a vanguard model for enthusiastic consent, asking for what you want, and living out embodied intimacy. Dr. Martin, who developed the model, shares her journey from creating the wheel through her hands-on workshops to writing a book so the wheel may reach an even larger audience, with Kimberly noting just how deep of an impact Betty's work has had on Kimberly's teaching and offerings. They explore the challenges of enthusiastic consent, the importance of feeling with one's hands, and the universal nature, as well as the cultural nuances, of touch and sex. Betty emphasizes the need for accurate teaching and the development of the wheel of consent in various fields, including therapy, businesses and social justice. The conversation highlights the significance of embodiment and the incomparable emotional impact of present and thoughtful touch.   Bio Dr. Betty Martin spent her childhood in a large family and her youth in experimental communities, learning about people in more groups than she can count. Founding a co-housing community with countless hours of meetings taught her the value of excellent facilitation. Now she enjoys helping others learn the skills she picked up along the way.  She graduated Chiropractic College in 1976 and practiced for almost 30 years, including several body-mind integration modalities. She has taught Peer Counseling for teens and adults, Educational Kinesiology and other bodywork for professionals, sexuality workshops for women, gender liberation, and boundary and communication workshops of many flavors, including Cuddle Party. After retiring from her Chiropractic practice on Vashon Island, she moved into Seattle and opened a private practice as a relationship and intimacy coach, where she guided people through somatic experiences, sometimes erotic and sometimes not, so they could learn how to be comfortable in their own skin and experience pleasure in ways that supported their development.  It was during those years of working with hundreds of people that she noticed and developed the Wheel of Consent, a practice and a model of taking apart receiving and giving. She started sharing her experience with other practitioners and developed the 5-day training, Like a Pro, focusing on the Wheel, communication and professional standards.  In 2018 she co-founded the School of Consent, where she has trained numerous facilitators of Wheel of Consent workshops, and a handful of faculty to teach Like a Pro. She is happily handing over teaching to those she has trained, and these days contributes to other organizations' trainings and presents to various professional groups. She also enjoys offering supervision and mentoring to practitioners. She once again lives in community and is the proud mom of 3 and grandma of 2. What You'll Hear Dr. Martin's background in chiropractic, body-mind integration modalities, and her development of the wheel of consent Betty's 13 year writing process and how her clients led her to constantly evolve her concepts for the book The development of the Three-Minute Game the value of taking turns and asking for what you want Why receiving can often be harder than giving. The importance of touch and attention to intimacy Why training new teachers is so important to Dr. Martin They discuss cultural differences as it relates to touch and sex The emergence of the term enthusiastic consent The reach of The Wheel of Consent from relationships to communities to businesses to social movements The exercise of waking up the hands to improve ability to feel with them   Resources Website: https://www.wheelofconsent.org/ Ig: @drbettymartin Book: https://www.wheelofconsent.org/thebook Activate Your Inner Jaguar: Sexuality and the Nervous System sign up link is here

Send us an email @ info@parentcoachesunleashed.com In this episode of Parent Coaches Unleashed, hosts Carrie Wiesenfeld and Jessica Anger examine one of the most relevant issues in contemporary parenting: “sharenting.” The term refers to the practice of parents sharing photographs, stories, and personal moments about their children on social media. While such sharing often stems from pride, affection, and the desire to celebrate milestones, the hosts urge listeners to reflect on the potential risks to children's privacy and emotional well-being.The Double-Edged Nature of SharentingAnger and Wiesenfeld discuss how sharenting creates a permanent digital footprint that may follow children into adulthood. They emphasize that what seems like a harmless post today could have unforeseen consequences in the future, particularly as technology evolves and data becomes more accessible through artificial intelligence and digital archiving. The episode encourages parents to seek consent from their children before sharing personal images or details and to remain informed about the ethical and safety implications of social media use.Navigating Nostalgia and the Empty NestBeyond the digital dimension, the hosts explore the emotional journey of parenthood. As children grow older, parents often experience a profound sense of nostalgia—cherishing memories of earlier years while confronting the challenges of letting go. Anger and Wiesenfeld candidly discuss the transition to empty nesting, highlighting how this stage can bring both loss and renewal. Their reflections remind parents of the importance of living fully in the present rather than curating the past through online images.Fostering Connection Through ConversationThe episode concludes with actionable insights for nurturing stronger family relationships. The hosts stress the importance of open-ended questions when communicating with teenagers, as these invite authentic dialogue and deeper emotional connection. They advocate for device-free family time, encouraging parents to prioritize genuine engagement over digital distractions. Ultimately, they argue that meaningful relationships are built not on perfectly documented moments but on attentive presence and mutual respect.TakeawaysSharenting can create lasting privacy and emotional risks for children.Parents share from love and pride, but should weigh long-term consequences.Consent and digital awareness are essential in today's connected world.Understanding the impact of AI and data permanence can guide safer online habits.Mindfulness and presence enrich family life more than social validation.Open-ended communication fosters trust and connection with teens.Nostalgia can serve as both a comfort and a reminder of life's fleeting stages.Boundaries and autonomy empower children to shape their digital identities.
