In this conversation, Kelsi Sheren addresses the controversial topic of assisted death in Canada, particularly focusing on the role of advocacy organizations like Dying with Dignity. She critiques the expansion of assisted death, presents alarming statistics, and shares personal stories that highlight systemic failures in mental health care. Sheren emphasizes the importance of consent and the implications of normalizing assisted death as a solution to healthcare failures. The discussion culminates in a call to action for listeners to critically engage with the narrative surrounding assisted death and advocate for better healthcare solutions.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Controversy02:52 The Role of Advocacy Organizations06:12 Statistics and the Expansion of Assisted Death08:59 Personal Stories and Case Studies12:14 Critique of Dying with Dignity14:58 The Narrative of Consent and Neglect18:14 The Broader Implications of Assisted Death21:07 Conclusion and Call to Action - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok -   https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

Bernays Obtained Consent Because Evil Requires the Sanction of the Victim  Crrow777 We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage (more...)

You won't want to miss out on hearing from our special guest “truth-teller” this week, on “Pediatric Perspectives.” His name: Peter McCullough, M.D. In this episode, Dr. McCullough shares compelling information on how, years later, COVID is still haunting us. We are facing, in his words, “The biggest problem that humanity has ever tackled.” As Dr. McCullough points out, not only has its treatment been a failure in many ways, but also its “vaccine campaign…will go down as the largest biopharmaceutical debacle in human history.” And yet, helping those impacted has become the “most rewarding thing” from all the years he has been a physician.

Zach sits down with Courtney and Nathan Boyer, a couple married for over twenty years, parenting three kids, and living overseas on a U.S. military base in Germany. Courtney and Nathan share the story of a major turning point in their marriage—when Courtney asked to open the relationship after years of suppressing her needs, identity, and desire. Raised in a strict religious culture, Courtney explains how she spent much of her marriage prioritizing her husband's career and her role as a mother, slowly becoming resentful and disconnected from herself. Nathan, a military physician, reflects on how his drive for achievement and constant “next step” mindset left him unaware of how much was being lost along the way. The couple walks through the six-month conversation that followed Courtney's request—marked by resistance, fear, patience, and an honest willingness to walk away if they couldn't find a way forward together. Nathan shares what it was like to realize he is deeply monogamous at his core, while Courtney names polyamory as an essential part of her identity rather than a lifestyle choice. They also talk candidly about shame, public backlash, parenting through non-traditional choices, and the surprising ways opening the relationship strengthened their emotional and sexual connection. Throughout the conversation, Zach highlights the importance of long-form conversations, adult responsibility, and the courage it takes to renegotiate a marriage rather than quietly disappear inside it. This episode is a nuanced, human look at love, consent, identity, and what it means to grow without abandoning one another. Key Takeaways Long-term marriages go through distinct cycles tied to life stages, not just emotions Suppressing needs often leads to resentment, not stability Identity shifts don't happen overnight—they require long conversations Consent includes the real option to walk away Monogamy and polyamory can coexist in one marriage with clarity and care Erotic energy and trust can grow through expansion, not just exclusivity Adult relationships require ongoing renegotiation, not silent endurance Guest Info Courtney Boyer Relationship coach, author, and creator behind The Monopoly Couple. Courtney writes and speaks about identity, desire, religious conditioning, and non-traditional relationships.

You may have seen on social media that Amazon recently scrapped dozens of small business e-commerce websites and added people's products to the Amazon Buy for Me platform. This is a new platform that Amazon rolled out and they did this without consent from the brands.  Now, as you can imagine, this has created a lot of outrage from small businesses that sell online and who intentionally chose not to sell on Amazon. To find your products listed on Amazon when you did not choose to do so, that's a lot to swallow, right?  But it also creates a lot of logistical headaches. So as an example, items were listed on Amazon with incorrect photos or product descriptions. Discontinued or no longer in stock items were listed and many brands did not even know that their products had been added to Amazon until they heard about it on social media and searched for their brand.  My guest today is Angie Chua of bobo designs. Angie has been vocal on social media, sharing information and the steps that she's taken to protect her products and brand. This is a developing story, but Angie shares what she's learned, the steps she has taken to remove her products from Amazon and we talk about why this is bad for small businesses.  There's a lot of folks out there that are thinking, isn't this great visibility for small business? And the answer is, no, it's not.  If you are looking for a community of folks who are talking about current events that affect product businesses in real time, come join us in LABS. We have trainings, templates,  coaching calls and all the things, but we also share solutions for real time issues and we also celebrate real time wins.

Do you ever have moments where you just want to scream, "Get off me!" at your clingy child? You're not alone. This episode dives deep into the visceral frustration parents feel when a child is constantly attached, and reframes this challenging behaviour not as a problem to be fixed, but as a crucial signal. Jess and Scott explore the real reasons kids get clingy, from hunger and sickness to being in a state of alarm. You'll learn practical strategies to meet their need for connection, set healthy boundaries without causing harm, and find support for yourself when you're feeling completely depleted.Listen to the episode Jess mentioned about supporting worried and anxious kids here. Want to hear more about how to help your child who is clinging and whining?

Send us a textThis time in the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles are joined by bestselling author and beloved witchcraft teacher Deborah Blake for a grounded, practical conversation on respectful, responsible deity work for witches and pagans.Together, they explore what changes when deity isn't “a box you visit,” but part of everyday life, and why cultural context matters when working with ancient pantheons in the modern world. Deborah shares how her upcoming book, Everyday Witch's Book of Deities (out in April and currently available for preorder), approaches deity work with both historical background and real-world practice. You'll also hear thoughtful discussion on syncretism (when gods and goddesses overlap across cultures), what “perfect love and perfect trust” can mean in lived experience, and how to start small if you think a deity may be reaching out, including the physical signs both hosts and Deborah notice in their own work.Find Deborah at deborahblakeauthor.comLoose-leaf Tea and Sacred Apothecary The Healing Our Feminine Wounding Immersive is a sacred retreat devoted to untangling inherited shame, silence, and survival patterns carried in the feminine body.

Local officials in California may be co-opting Wolfgang Puck's and Frank Gehry's forthcoming upscale retail center along the Pacific Palisades coastline to install unpopular, high-density housing in the coming future using a little-known, Gavin Newsom-backed bill: SB 79.   “About a year ago,” California passed its Senate Bill No. 79 under the premise of encouraging housing near existing transit hubs, which, in principle, sounded like a good idea with best of intentions.   SB-79 can't be “implemented unless it's at a train station, bus station, [or] airport transit district,” so most people “didn't say no to it” because transit districts should only have limited, localized impacts, California Correspondent Elaine Culotti explains.   “This happens in California a lot where things are kind of slipped under the radar because they feel like they're not going to affect you. Well, guess what? They figured out a way to put transit districts in areas that don't have transit districts, after the fact.” For more video commentaries like this one, subscribe to The Daily Signal's YouTube channel

In this Thursday episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we bring an academic lens to bookish culture, genre fiction, and the conversations shaping romance and romantasy today. Our podcast blends literary analysis, cultural criticism, and emotional honesty. We treat romance, romantasy, and fanfiction as genres worthy of serious discussion, not just quick takes. This episode is part of our Subtext Society series, inspired by The Subtext Society Journal. The Subtext Society Journal is a collaborative publication dedicated to thoughtful essays on romance, romantasy, fan culture, and publishing ethics. We explore moral questions, genre evolution, power dynamics, and the real-world impact of stories, guided by values of literary rigor without gatekeeping, community over hierarchy, and ethics-first analysis. Today's discussion focuses on the article: “Is Dark Romance Allowing a Dark Space?” Using the Sinners and Stardust controversy as a case study, we examine accountability in fandom spaces, consent versus cosplay, and whether increased freedom within romance and dark romance has been misunderstood or misused. This conversation challenges us to hold women to the same ethical standards as men, interrogate harmful behavior without demonizing the genre itself, and ask how communities can protect spaces meant to feel safe. Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and non-consensual behavior. Listener discretion is advised. These Subtext Society episodes are designed to be reflective, critical, and grounded— creating space for nuance, responsibility, and care within the bookish community.

John and Jenny dive deep into the psychology of obedience in high-control religious movements, focusing on the global ministry Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Drawing from lived experiences and professional trauma recovery work, they explore how enforced obedience suppresses consent, erases personal agency, and stunts emotional and cognitive development in children and young adults. Jenny explains how somatic trauma responses like “fawning” emerge from chronic obedience conditioning, while John connects these behaviors to the broader cultic systems within Pentecostal and Latter Rain movements. Together they unpack the devastating effects of obedience-based discipleship, from the breaking of children’s wills to lifelong struggles with shame, identity, and self-trust. The conversation also exposes how spiritual manipulation can rewire developmental pathways, creating adults who fear mistakes and repress emotion. It’s an honest, insightful dialogue that challenges one of the most dangerous doctrines in modern evangelical missions—and calls for restoration of agency, growth, and healthy autonomy.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

Nick Dagan Best joins me to discuss the rare triple conjunction of Venus, Mars, and the Sun that took place in early January 2026. We review the major news stories that coincided with this alignment, with a primary focus on tracing historical recurrences to show how each event is tied to specific precursors that occurred under similar triple conjunctions over the past century. We spent the first week of the year witnessing a decade's worth of history unfold in just ten days. In this episode, we analyze how the precise alignment of these three planetary bodies in Capricorn correlates with the dramatic geopolitical events we are seeing now, including the US military strike on Venezuela, the escalating tensions regarding Greenland, and the widespread protests in Iran. Our discussion builds on our previous episodes on recurrence transits, by showing how they work when more than one planet is involved in a recurrence, creating a more specific repetition of events. This is a deep dive into mundane astrology, looking at how the past informs the present through the repetition of planetary cycles. This is episode 518 of The Astrology Podcast.

In this episode, Jess and Scott talk about how family values aren't created by rules on the wall, but by what's lived out every day. They explore how to start with parent-only conversations to clarify your true non-negotiables, then invite kids into the process in meaningful, age-appropriate ways.They also dive into a powerful conversation about why kids lie (hint: it's not about “bad behaviour”) and how parental responses can either strengthen trust or quietly erode it. If you want values that stick, not because kids are afraid, but because they feel safe and connected, this episode lays the foundation.Get 10% OFF parenting courses and kids' printable activities at Nurtured First using the code ROBOTUNICORN.We'd love to hear from you!

Sin is often reduced to a list of bad behaviors, but this conversation reframed it as a rupture in relationship and a distortion of identity.  Join Jeremy Jeremiah, Mario Andrew, and Cloud of Witnesses special guests Father Deacon Anthony, an ordained deacon in the Antiochian Orthodox Church, and associate marriage and family therapist, Jacob Sadan (https://jacobsadan.com/) in this frank and inspiring discussion of sin.Drawing from early Christian teaching and cognitive behavioral therapy, our guests showed that actions flow from thoughts and feelings, and those are shaped by how we name what is happening inside us. If we see ourselves as inherently evil, despair follows; if we deny fault, pride grows. The older Christian vision holds a paradox: we are made very good in God's image, yet wounded by passions and habits that pull us from life. That paradox calls for clarity, not condemnation. Naming the wound without becoming the wound is the beginning of healing.  A vivid metaphor carried the dialogue: the black spot on the skin. We can ignore it, try to cut it out ourselves, identify with it in shame, or bring it to the physician. Only the last path actually heals. The physician, Christ, works through the church's rhythms—fasting, prayer, confession, feasting—because rhythm regulates what is dysregulated. Like a garden, the soul shows its beauty when tended with boundaries and care. The point isn't legalism but formation: seasons that humble pride, awaken joy, and train our loves. In this frame, guilt is not a curse; it is the pain signal that says, return to the Doctor. Shame, on the other hand, fuses sin to identity and locks the soul in a closed room.  Psychologically, the cycle is simple and stubborn: beliefs spark feelings, feelings drive behaviors, behaviors reinforce beliefs. If I believe I must fix myself alone, I will overreach, fail, and destroy self-trust. Addiction lives in that gap between imagined control and actual powerlessness. The first step to freedom is admitting limits and sorting what I can change from what I must surrender. Confession becomes a structured pause to observe the inner world: what happened, why it happened, and what to do next. Spoken aloud to a trusted guide, the most terrifying truths lose their sting and regain their meaning as invitations to growth.  Finally, community matters. A church that engages body and senses, offers communion and confession, and pairs diagnosis with prescription becomes an arena where grace meets effort. Outside that arena, there are no crowns because there is no contest. Inside it, accountability interrupts self-deception, and mercy makes change plausible. The way forward is not self-loathing or self-excuse but love, truth, and rhythm: see the spot, feel the healthy sting of guilt, ask for help, and return to the practices that tame the garden. We are beloved and broken, not worthless or sovereign; healing happens where we stop pretending to be judge and return to being patients of the true Physician. Questions about Orthodoxy?

Following a recent $32 million settlement involving necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and cow's milk-based formula, the team debates the future of informed consent for routine nutritional care. They explore how legal precedents may force neonatologists to replace bedside counseling with transactional forms, potentially eroding trust and complicating evidence-based practice.

In Episode 34 of Quite Frankly, Frankie Val is joined by a guest for an extended, candid discussion centered on taxation, government authority, and the limits of obedience. The conversation opens with concerns over income tax withholding, IRS enforcement, and renewed talk of tax resistance, weighing historical examples against present-day realities. Frankie and his guest then turn to developments involving Nicolás Maduro, debating whether recent actions constitute regime change and how media narratives shape public understanding. Additional discussion touches on welfare fraud investigations, government spending priorities, and growing distrust in federal institutions. Throughout the episode, the exchange remains conversational and reflective, focusing on consent of the governed, personal responsibility, and where individuals draw the line between lawful authority and moral legitimacy, with audience reactions folded into the discussion as it unfolds.

"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures." In today's episode, we explore Grievance #11 in the Declaration of Independence, which condemns the deployment of British regular troops in American towns and cities during peacetime. Topics include: -the long British tradition disapproving of standing armies on British soil -the long British tradition of allowing for political protest and dissent without fear of punishment by a standing army -the cooperation between the British Army and Colonial militias during the 7 Years' War -the reasons why King George deemed it necessary to station 10,000 British troops in the North American colonies after the end of the 7 Years' War, namely to manage the conflicts between eager colonists who wanted to expand westward and native peoples who wanted to hold the line -the1768 riots in Boston after the seizure of John Hancock's ship, The Liberty, an event which then prompted the deployment of British troops -the Boston Tea Party of 1773 and the British response to it: the declaration of martial law in 1774 followed by the Coercive Acts aka the Intolerable Acts, which were enforced by General Thomas Gage -an explanation of the phrase "without the consent of our legislatures," which highlights both the role of colonial militias for self-defence and also the importance of the norma of legislative approval for any deployment of troops in the Colonies Prof. Johnson's book can be found here: [Occupied America: British Military Rule and the Experience of Revolution](https://www.pennpress.org/9780812252545/occupied-america/) The cover image is a portrait of Gen. Thomas Gage, commander of British troops in North America until 1775.

In part 2 of our Finding Pleasure in Pain series we will focus on why pain can be an erotic, intimate, empowering — and deeply pleasurable part of sex — when it's done with care, clarity, and consent. In this episode, we explore how people find pleasure in intense sensation, why the brain sometimes loves a little sting, and what it really takes to make pain play safe, connected, and mutually satisfying. We break down the foundations of informed consent, walk through real-world negotiation tips, and share communication tools that keep partners grounded and in control. From exploring fantasies to navigating boundaries and aftercare, this episode offers a shame-free, practical guide to transforming pain into pleasure through trust, intention, and collaboration. Whether you're curious about trying impact play for the first time or looking to deepen an existing dynamic, this conversation will help you approach erotic pain with confidence, respect, and enthusiasm.

Hand in hand is their developing sense of privacy and safety in relationship to others. All of these skills become critical as kids grow and mature.

In this episode, I break down the three core needs every child has to feel secure, confident, and connected with their parents: safety, respect, and connection. These are not soft ideas or permissive parenting. They are the foundation of authoritative parenting and the reason kids are more likely to listen, trust, and stay connected to us as they grow. In this episode, I discuss: Why safety, respect, and connection are the foundation of effective parenting The difference between authoritative and authoritarian parenting How emotional safety and predictability build trust Why routines matter more than many parents realize How to set boundaries while still respecting your child Consent, choices, and body autonomy across ages Respectful approaches to meals and picky eating Why public shaming damages confidence and trust The importance of apologizing and repairing Simple ways to build connection without needing more time How these principles reduce power struggles and anxiety Want more?

In this episode, Jess and Scott confront the tough topics of divorce, single parenting, and high-conflict family dynamics. They debunk the pervasive myth of 'staying together for the kids,' explaining how research overwhelmingly shows that ongoing parental conflict, not separation itself, is the true source of harm.

Lauren and Trey begin 2026 with a nuanced dialogue about willing and wanting in long-term partnership.In this 30-minute episode, they unpack a recent real-life conversation where Trey shares that he feels “willing” is a tier below “wanting,” while Lauren challenges that framework. Drawing from Kai Cheng Thom's Spectrum of Consent and Dr. Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent, they explore whether willingness and wanting must be hierarchical, or if they can live on the same tier as different, equally valid experiences.Lauren shares why giving a gift, when done within her limits, can feel deeply joyful, even when it's not something she actively wants. Trey reflects on moments where he's been willing for Lauren, how those choices felt in his body, and why his second read of The Art of Receiving and Giving is shifting how he understands consent, generosity, and care.Together, they talk through specific scenarios, including an upcoming trip that's “for Trey,” and how naming willingness (without resentment or self-abandonment) can actually strengthen trust and intimacy. They also draw a clear distinction between consensual willingness and the familiar but harmful pattern of “taking one for the team.”This episode is an invitation to rethink consent beyond yes/no binaries and to explore how giving, receiving, and choosing each other can look when both partners stay connected to their own limits.If this conversation brings up questions about consent, desire, or navigating willingness in your own relationship, Lauren offers free consults for individuals and couples.

The media like to present themselves as objective, balanced, and free from any bias or agenda. Reality suggests something quite different. The media function as weapons of mass distraction. Much of what passes as news is, sometimes subtle, sometimes crude, propaganda. The media are large conglomerates that serve to mobilize support for the special interests that dominate state and corporate power. In democratic societies, populations are not controlled by force. Rather, they are subject to more refined forms of ideological manipulation. Emotionally potent oversimplifications and necessary illusions are created and repeated endlessly. Embedded ideas, such as Washington's right to intervene anywhere in the world, go unexamined and unchallenged. Consent is manufactured. The public, reduced to being spectators, is marginalized.

Why do some people find pleasure in pain? In this educational, sex-positive series, we are going to explore the science and psychology behind erotic pain—how certain sensations activate the brain's pleasure centers, why trust and vulnerability deepen the experience, and how kink dynamics create powerful emotional intimacy. In part 1 of this series we break down different types of sensation play, from spanking and scratching to temperature play and BDSM tools, all through a lens of consent, safety, and communication. Whether you're curious about kink, experienced in BDSM, or simply interested in how pleasure works, this episode offers a thoughtful, judgment-free look at the beauty of consensual pain and the connection it can create. Each part of this series we will feature deeper exploration into these topics. Send the us your sex and relationship questions and maybe you will inspire the next episode of The Dildo Whisperer.

This week, we are revisiting a previously aired episode. Scott recently had a situation where he lost his cool with his toddler. In this episode, Jess and Scott unpack what happened and how he could do things differently next time by setting himself up for success as a highly sensitive person. They discuss what it means to be highly sensitive, from noticing subtle textures and needing things a certain way to being more emotionally attuned. Scott shares his own challenges staying calm as a highly sensitive parent, especially when his sensory cup is full.Jess offers practical tips for coping as a highly sensitive parent, like taking sensory breaks, setting boundaries, and having compassion for your unique needs. She emphasizes that there's nothing wrong with being a sensitive person, and learning to work with your sensitivity (or your partner's or child's sensitivity) comes with many beautiful gifts. Through a thoughtful and, at times, humorous discussion, Scott and Jess model how partners can talk through triggering parenting moments to problem-solve together. Listeners will gain insights into the highly sensitive parent experience and leave with new strategies to try.This episode was originally released on 7/8/2024.Get 10% OFF parenting courses and kids' printable activities at Nurtured First using the code ROBOTUNICORN.We'd love to hear from you!

What happens when two relationship experts who teach others about intimacy find themselves in an 18-month sexual drought? We recently emerged from what we affectionately call "the swamp"—a period where our once-vibrant sexual connection became strained, disconnected, and frankly disappointing. Despite having all the professional knowledge about creating great sex, we found ourselves stuck in patterns that weren't working, and the solutions weren't immediately obvious.It was a profound opportunity for growth and understanding–the experience taught us that magnificent sex isn't something you figure out once and then have forever. It requires ongoing attention, vulnerability, and a willingness to return to basics when things get off track.In this episode, we talk about:— What "magnificent sex" actually means (hint: it's about soul-shaking connection, not just technique)— The four key elements that create truly magnificent sexual experiences— How even sex educators can lose track of their own erotic needs and desires— Why our sexual "swamp" developed and the surprisingly simple interventions that helped us find our way out— The power of written requests on index cards for neurodivergent communication patterns— The importance of reconnecting with your own core erotic themes rather than just focusing on your partner's— How to create containers of safety that allow for vulnerability and presence— Why aftercare matters and how to customize it for each partner's specific needs— The value of accommodating different communication and memory styles in sexual contexts— Practical ways to rebuild connectionResources mentioned in this episode:— Magnificent Sex: Lessons from Extraordinary Lovers by Peggy Kleinplatz and Dana Ménard— The Erotic Mind by Jack Morin— Transcendent Sex by Jenny Wade— The Wheel of Consent by Betty Martin— Joli's Sexual Shadow Masterclass— Our episode on Nurturing Established Relationship EnergyJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

Sex worker rights aren't a niche issue. They're a human rights issue. In this episode, we're joined by Kaytlin Bailey, stand-up comic, sex worker rights advocate, and expert on sex worker policy and history, to unpack why moral panics around sex work harm far more than just sex workers. We talk about power, policy, women's autonomy, and why everyone, especially women who care about freedom, bodily autonomy, and choice, should be paying attention. We cover: Why sex worker rights affect everyone. How laws and stigma aimed at sex workers quietly erode rights for all women. What moral panics actually do. Why fear-based narratives around sex are so effective and so dangerous. The historical roots of sex work criminalization. How policy has long been used to control women's bodies, labor, and sexuality. Why “good girl vs bad girl” thinking still shapes policy. And how that mindset limits freedom far beyond sex work. The difference between protection and control. Why many laws framed as “safety” measures actually increase harm. How storytelling changes public opinion. Why human stories are one of the most powerful tools for policy change. What sex worker rights teach us about bodily autonomy. Consent, agency, and who gets to decide what women do with their bodies. Why this conversation matters now. How current cultural and political shifts are putting foundational freedoms at risk. How to learn more and get involved. Ways to support sex worker rights through education, advocacy, and listening. Kaytlin Bailey is the Founder & Executive Director at Old Pros, a nonprofit that uses storytelling to advocate for sex worker rights.

Since the 1970s the scientific field has been steadily improving in its use of meaningful consent practices. But how are we doing when it comes to the related practice of gaining client assent? This week we discuss the similarities and differences between both and take a pulse check as to how behavior analysis is doing to ensure only the best of practices when it comes to benefiting our clients whether in the research lab or clinic setting.

ROMAN KINGSHIP: FROM CITIZEN SELECTION TO THE IDEAL OF SERVICE Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. Early Roman kings were selected by citizens based on merit rather than heredity, but figures like Servius Tullius began bypassing this consent. Conversely, Cincinnatus exemplifies the Roman ideal of service; he accepted absolute dictatorial power to save the state during a crisis, then immediately resigned to return to his farm.

Visit the Sex With Emily Website: https://sexwithemily.com/ Episode Description In this Sex with Emily episode, Dr. Emily sits down with Chelsey Goodan—the teenage girl whisperer whose new book "Underestimated" is revealing what happens when we actually start listening to the demographic we've been underestimating for generations. The surprisingly simple question that gets teenage girls to open up after years of shutting everyone out—and why the adults in their lives have been approaching these conversations completely backwards (hint: it's the same reason your last "how was school today?" got a one-word answer). Why teenage girls can spot your hidden agenda from a mile away, and the radical honesty approach that creates trust faster than any parenting book you've read—even when you think you're being subtle with your "protective" white lies. The age that girls start dieting that will make you rethink every compliment you've ever given a child—and the unconscious behavior women are modeling that's sabotaging the next generation's relationship with their bodies before they even hit puberty. That thing you keep saying is "fine" when it's absolutely not fine, and how the people-pleasing patterns you picked up as a teenage girl are still running your sex life, your relationships, and every dinner party you've ever thrown. The connection between your relationship to sex and your actual power that nobody talks about—and why embracing your "weird" might be the permission slip you need to stop performing and start feeling. Plus: why giving girls agency doesn't mean abandoning your role as a parent, and the one body-related comment you should never make to a teenage girl, even when you think you're being helpful.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the Office of Civil Rights is investigating reports of a child with a religious exemption being vaccinated without parental consent. At the same time, several states are pushing bills that would allow minors to be vaccinated without their parents' knowledge, highlighting a broader medical-system struggle—from childhood shots to psychiatric drugs for veterans—over consent, transparency, and personal autonomy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.
