Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
Desire isn't always as simple as it seems. For many couples, the initial spark of sexual and emotional intimacy can dim over time, replaced by questions, misunderstandings, and the painful sense that something has faded or is "broken." When mismatched desire enters a relationship, it can quickly become a battleground, leaving one or both partners feeling blamed, rejected, or disconnected—not only from each other but from their own bodies and needs. In this episode, listeners are invited to look beneath the surface of desire patterns and rethink how intimacy is cultivated over time. The conversation explores why the "problem" of desire is rarely rooted in one partner and how it is shaped instead by cycles of emotional and physical disconnection, unexamined beliefs, and the need for safety and self-awareness in the body. Listeners will discover tools for moving from blame toward curiosity, collaboration, and deep connection, and learn practical ways to rediscover what turns them on—together. Tarisha Tourok is a trauma-informed sex and relationship therapist and founder of Sexual Empowerment for Women. She helps unlock women's sexual desire and guides them into intimacy that melts their hearts and delights their souls. With 15+ years of experience, Tarisha blends psychotherapy, sacred sexuality, and somatic healing to help women reclaim the power and beauty of their sexuality—so they can live, love, and connect with radiant confidence. Episode Highlights 06:06 Reframing desire differences. 12:14 The complex factors influencing sexual desire. 16:07 Shifting from spontaneous to responsive desire and reconnecting with your body. 19:39 Exploring how to build responsiveness and address past trauma 22:44 How culture, religion, and body image affect desire. 24:26 Generational influences and healing transgenerational trauma. 27:41 Breaking family cycles to create new patterns. 31:46 Building a stronger relationship with your body and sense of desire. 36:55 Emotional resonance, safety, and shared intimacy practices. 44:33 Cultivating intimacy through personal and relational growth. 49:18 Redefining pleasure: Connection over performance & practical resources. Your Checklist of Actions to Take Adopt a "Team" Mindset: Approach intimacy challenges as a shared experience rather than individual problems, discussing openly how to become partners in exploration. Create Space for Exploration: Remove blame and give both partners space to explore what turns each person on, without feeling pressure or guilt. Practice Vulnerability: Softly communicate underlying fears or insecurities instead of defaulting to frustration or blame, helping both partners connect on a deeper level. Carve Out Time for Intimacy: Intentionally prioritize time together, making room for connection and recognizing the impact of daily busyness on sexual desire. Reconnect with Your Body: Develop practices—such as breathwork, mindful movement, or sensory experiences—that help you feel and respond from within your body. Acknowledge and Address Blocks: Identify and compassionately address personal blocks like trauma, self-judgment, or negative societal messaging before focusing on sexual desire. Share Sexual Blueprints: Take a sexual desire quiz, compare results, and discuss with your partner what environments and practices make you feel most turned on and safe. Redefine Goals for Intimacy: Shift away from performance-oriented goals like orgasm, focusing instead on connection, pleasure, and mutual presence in your intimate experiences.

Send us Fan MailChange your space before it changes you. In today's episode, we take spring cleaning beyond clutter, closets, and open windows, and into the places your nervous system has been quietly living. From stale routines to screen fatigue, environmental design, emotional buildup, and the way your home can shape your mental health, this episode is a sharp reminder that change does not only happen inside your mind. Sometimes, it starts with the air you breathe, the space you keep, and the patterns you stop dragging into the next season. If your brain has been asking for a reset, maybe start by opening a window before blaming your entire personality.Episode Reference:#466 | Instead of New Year's Resolutions, Do THIS - https://apple.co/4aWMjLFHere's a related episode that builds on today's conversation:#491 | How to Create Space for Your Feelings - https://apple.co/43oj8hv Learn more about:

In our concern for our children, sometimes we respond from a place of fear and worry. From time to time, we can even lose touch with the love that lies beneath that concern. Reconnecting with the ground of our love and the wish for our children to be happy and well, especially in moments of difficulty, can be incredibly beneficial. This practice from Wendy O'Leary offers a pause of support and encouragement that can help you come back to that core of compassionate wisdom. Wendy O'Leary, M.Ed., author and health educator, has three children's books and an adult book on self-compassion in families. She is a certified mindfulness teacher, parent educator, and self-compassion advocate with expertise in teaching emotional resilience to children and adults.

This past Sunday Eric shared a personal message about four things his mom taught him over the course of her life. Four years after her passing, her life still continues to shape his in profound ways. • Create Space for Becoming — She created environments where people could discover who God made them to be instead of pressuring them to become something else.• Always Worship — Worship wasn't just a Sunday activity to her; it was a lifestyle of continually turning her attention toward God and relinquishing control.• Be Stealthy in Prayer & Generosity — She prayed with joy, gave quietly, and impacted countless people without needing recognition.• Trust in God — At the center of her life was a deep trust in God. It shaped the way she prayed, loved, worshipped, and lived.Our prayer is that we would become people marked by worship, joy, generosity, and trust in God.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Lauren Craddock—author, educator, and leading voice on living intentionally—for an eye-opening conversation about her journey from clutter and overwhelm to clarity, impact, and living with purpose. Lauren shares her personal transformation from battling "collector at heart" tendencies in her home to uncovering the deeper reasons behind clutter and consumerism. She candidly describes the "perspective pivot" that changed her life, how she learned to curate her space based on what she truly uses, loves, and needs, and the power of letting go—not just of stuff, but of the scarcity mindset and guilt that keep so many stuck. Together, we dig into the heart of Lauren's book, Own with Intention, exploring her signature practices like the Mindful Exchange, counting the inflow, and practical steps for couples and families with different approaches to their stuff. Lauren explains why minimalism isn't about owning less for its own sake, but about creating space for more of what matters—energy, focus, connection, and making a meaningful impact. If you've ever struggled to release the things weighing you down, or you want to live a more intentional, empowered life in your home and beyond, this episode is a reminder that you can own your story, your space, and your future—one intentional step at a time. Register to join Lauren for her book launch on May 4th! - JOIN US HERE About Lauren, Lauren Craddock is the creator of Own with Intention, a framework that helps people reclaim their time and focus by intentionally choosing what stays in their lives. She's a National Board Certified fourth-grade teacher, a mom of three boys, and the author of the upcoming book Own with Intention: 20 Minimalist Practices to Create Space for What Matters Most. Through her own journey from overwhelm to intentional living, Lauren discovered that minimalism isn't all about ridding yourself of things. Minimalism is really about leadership of your life—deciding intentionally to create space for what matters most. Today she's helping people rethink their relationship with possessions so they can stop managing things and start living with greater clarity, purpose, and impact.

Today, Jay explores a truth most of us instinctively avoid: we no longer know how to be alone with our own thoughts. He reflects on how our constant need for stimulation, scrolling, watching, filling every empty second, is not just a habit, but a quiet escape from ourselves. What we often dismiss as “boredom” isn’t something to fix, but a signal, quietly guiding us toward clarity, deeper self-awareness, and inner peace. Jay brings in modern neuroscience to explain why boredom is not empty at all. He introduces the concept of the Default Mode Network, the part of the brain responsible for self-reflection, creativity, empathy, and imagining the future. This system only activates when we stop consuming and allow our minds to wander. In a world engineered to keep us constantly distracted, we are gradually disconnecting from the very mechanism that helps us understand ourselves and generate our best ideas. In this episode you'll learn: How to Stop Reaching for Your Phone Automatically How to Turn Idle Moments Into Creative Breakthroughs How to Activate Your Brain’s Default Mode Network How to Build a Daily Practice of Doing Nothing How to Break the Habit of Constant Stimulation How to Create Space for Deep Thinking and Clarity You don’t need to fill every moment to live a meaningful life. The pauses you’ve been avoiding may be the very spaces where clarity, peace, and creativity begin.

AI has become a dominant talking point in the world of work, but most of what I see and hear centres around automation, efficiency, and risk. The missing link is what AI means for people - for their growth, their sense of purpose, and how leaders and managers navigate this shift.I sat down with Jon Matthews from The Career Innovation Company to dig beneath the usual headlines. The honesty he brings to the conversation is refreshing. Rather than pretending change isn't happening, it's about building trust by being upfront and making people part of the process. That's what creates buy-in and a foundation for people to thrive.AI offers the potential to clear out repetitive tasks, which sounds ideal in theory, but the crux is how that time gets used. Will it simply result in piling on more? Or could it be the chance for managers and leaders to focus on reflection, real conversations, creativity, and the fundamental ‘why' behind the work?The role of job crafting stood out for me - not just as a personal tweak to a job description, but as a way for teams to co-create roles that give genuine mastery, meaning, and agency. When people closest to the work can actively reshape it, performance lifts for everyone and you get a culture where employees are engaged and high performing.But none of it works without the right skills. Most managers haven't been taught how to have career conversations or lead people through ambiguity. AI is the spark for a much broader shift in what's needed from leaders - curiosity, honesty, and the ability to support people at different career stages.What's clear is that sustainable performance won't come from more rules or fixed paths, but from guiding principles that help people embrace the unknown. When organisations and managers choose to focus on honest conversations, supporting skill-building and designing roles together, you end up with a workplace where people feel valued, capable, and ready for whatever comes next. That's what really gets results.More about JonJon Matthews leads The Career Innovation Company with a focus on helping employers realise the full potential of an adaptable workforce and unlock opportunity for everyone through careers. With three decades' experience spanning consulting, learning and product innovation, he partners with senior HR leaders to embed scalable solutions that boost engagement, mobility and productivity.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a state many first responders live in without realizing it: still showing up, still performing, still getting the job done—but internally feeling exhausted, disconnected, or not okay (Amazon Affiliate). This isn't obvious burnout. There's no collapse, no major breakdown—just a quiet depletion hidden behind discipline, professionalism, and responsibility. This episode explores how high performance can become a mask that keeps deeper stress unnoticed.
In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a mindset many first responders carry: minimizing their own stress or struggles (Amazon Affiliate) because "someone else has it worse." This episode explores how comparative suffering can lead to emotional suppression, delayed processing, and internalized pressure to stay silent. While perspective can be helpful, constantly invalidating your own experience comes at a cost.
Welcome to 5 Minutes of Peace — a time for you to reflect, recharge, and renew. Five minutes to awaken something within yourself. Created by ThePeaceRoom.love.In today's episode, we welcome special guest Inna Segal, intuitive healer and creator of the Ancestral Healing Oracle Deck.https://www.innasegal.com/https://www.instagram.com/innasegalauthor/https://www.facebook.com/InnaSegalAuthorInna shares why ancestral healing matters — how many of our beliefs, behaviors, and emotional patterns are inherited or unconsciously learned from our family lineage. Through her oracle deck, she invites listeners to reconnect with themselves, honor both the challenges and strengths passed down through generations, and consciously transform what no longer serves.During this episode, Inna draws a card for our listeners: “Start Living Fully.”The message speaks to releasing the protective shells formed in childhood — barriers created to avoid pain that can also block connection, intuition, and joy. She explains how unresolved trauma may activate fight, flight, or freeze responses in the emotional body and nervous system, keeping us stuck in fear or self-protection.Inna guides us through a gentle healing practice, encouraging listeners to:• Tune inward and notice where they feel numb or guarded• Breathe into areas of protection• Listen for the deeper message behind emotional defenses• Reflect on how to release old patterns and open the heart to courage and new possibilitiesShe reminds us that ancestral healing is about recognizing what we've carried, honoring where we come from, and choosing to live more fully in the present.Inna also shares that her work explores themes such as healing relationships with parents, embracing feminine and masculine lineages, meeting the inner child, reclaiming worthiness, and transforming ancestral shadows — offering tools to support becoming the best version of yourself.To learn more about Inna's work, her oracle deck, and upcoming master classes, visit innasegal.com.Thank you for listening, and thank yourself for taking five minutes of peace.We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.If you'd like to learn more about The Peace Room, our Reiki treatments, crystal healings, trainings, and workshops, visit www.thepeaceroom.love.Join us again whenever you need… 5 Minutes of Peace.
Why leaders need to create space for thinking by Softwire
In this episode of The Digital Lighthouse, host Zoe Cunningham speaks with Paul Spiers, founder of The New P&L Institute and host of The New P&L podcast. Zoe and Paul explore how leaders can create the conditions for better thinking, creativity, and innovation in a world shaped by constant change and emerging technologies. While organisations often say they value curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity, Paul explains why many fail to create the space needed for those qualities to thrive. Instead, speed and efficiency dominate, limiting long term innovation. Paul shares how leaders can focus on self awareness, purpose, and culture to drive better outcomes. They also discuss why context matters when introducing AI, why leadership behaviour shapes culture, and how small, consistent actions can transform both individuals and organisations. - Why organisations struggle to enable creativity and innovation - Why self awareness is the foundation of effective leadership - Why context shapes how employees respond to AI - How leaders can create space for better thinking - Why culture, leadership, and technology must be aligned - How small, consistent actions drive meaningful change

Hello to you listening in Create Space, Langley, Washington! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Not too very long ago I saw a man wearing a tee shirt with these words: “Many things in life will catch your eye but only a few will catch your heart. Follow those.” He was gone before I could ask him: What's the story behind your tee shirt? How did you come to have it? What things in life have caught your eye? What caught your heart? And when you followed those what happened next? Today more than ever women need the stories that catch their heart. The storytelling tradition is alive in you. Each time you share a story, you've grown. You catch something new. You see yourself differently. As a woman navigating a professional world that doesn't always invite your full story, you may have learned to edit yourself — to show up with credentials and minimize the rest. But your personal narrative is your most powerful asset. It connects, persuades, inspires, and leads. You don't have to wait for permission to tell your story. This is your invitation to discover the stories shaping your life, and to unlock the full power and energy of your voice. Because when women tell their true stories, they don't just change the room. They change what's possible. Your voice is ready. Are you? CTA: I'll be offering more classes on The Art & Craft of Telling Personal Stories at Create Space, at gatherings on Whidbey Island, and online.

What if the reason your business feels chaotic isn't because you need to work harder—but because you're missing clarity?In this episode, Andrea sits down with Seran Glanfield, founder of Spring Three Studio Business Consulting and host of the Pilates Business Podcast.

From a chance encounter at a restaurant to a woman coaching a thousand people to share their stories on stage, the lesson is clear: you can't demonstrate excellence from your couch, your car, or your home office.They also dig into what happens when people do get their moment in the spotlight — and blow it by reading from a notecard.

Sahil Bloom calls this the “arrival fallacy,” the lie that happiness lives on the other side of the next achievement, promotion, or milestone. In this powerful conversation, Sahil shares the exact moment he realized his definition of wealth was incomplete, the framework for identifying your meaningful struggles, and practical rituals for creating space in a world designed to keep you overstimulated and reactive.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about the quiet, unsettling experience many first responders have after intense calls—the moment when the adrenaline fades, the scene is over, but instead of feeling relief, sadness, or even shock… you feel nothing. Not calm. Not peace. Just blank. This is the emotional shutdown that often follows high-impact incidents. The kind where you know something big just happened, but your body and mind seem to go offline instead of processing it. You're back at the station or home with your family, but internally you feel distant, muted, and disconnected from your own emotions.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington is joined by Dr Simon Breakspear - educational researcher, author, and system leader based in Australia - for a wide-ranging conversation about how improvement actually happens at scale. Together they explore Simon's distinctive role working across classrooms, schools, networks, and entire systems, and why sustainable change depends less on policy mandates and more on relationships, trust, and practical tools that respect teachers' limited bandwidth. The discussion digs into two of Simon's best-known ideas: pruning - a disciplined approach to strategic subtraction that tackles overload and “additivitis” - and Teaching Sprints, a short-cycle, evidence-informed model for collective professional learning that prioritises deliberate practice over sprawling initiatives. Moving fluidly between the macro view of systems and the micro detail of meetings, habits, and classroom routines, this episode offers a clear-eyed account of how leaders can reduce noise, focus effort, and create the conditions for meaningful, long-term improvement.Dr Simon Breakspear is a researcher, advisor and speaker on educational leadership, policy and change. Simon develops frameworks and tools that make evidence-based ideas actionable and easy to understand. Over the last decade his capability building work has given him the opportunity to work with over 100,000 educators across more than 10 countries. Simon is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer in the School of Education at UNSW. He serves as an advisor to the NSW Department of Education and sits on an expert steering committee for the Australia Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL). Simon received his BPsych (Hons) from UNSW, his MSc in Comparative and International Education from the University of Oxford and his PhD in Education from the University of Cambridge. Simon began his work in education as a high school teacher.Tom Sherrington has worked in schools as a teacher and leader for 30 years and is now a consultant specialising in teacher development and curriculum & assessment planning.

As the year comes to a close, many of us feel called to reflect, release, and realign. In this episode of the Happy Mind Happy Life Podcast, Michelle Woerdeman explores the deeper meaning of letting go, emotional completion, and living with intention during times of transition. Drawing from the energy of a numerology nine year, this episode focuses on honoring what is complete — not from a place of loss, but from clarity, freedom, and growth. Michelle shares personal reflections on revisiting past life chapters, redefining success, and the importance of making space before stepping into something new. You'll also hear a powerful reframe on the difference between something being over versus complete, and how this shift in perspective can bring peace, especially when navigating relationships, career changes, and personal growth. This episode includes guided journaling prompts to help you pause, notice what has shifted this year, and release what no longer aligns. Michelle also shares details about the upcoming Happy Mind Happy Life Membership, launching January 15, offering monthly coaching, guided meditations, tapping, and reflective work designed to support calm, clarity, and intentional living. ✨ Learn more at www.mbwliving.com

Scott Smith: Why Great Scrum Masters Create Space for Breaks Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "Think of the people involved. Put yourself in the shoes of the other." - Scott Smith Scott found himself in the middle of rising tension as voices escalated between the Product Owner and the development team. The PO was harsh, emotions were running high, and the conflict was intensifying with each exchange. In that moment, Scott knew he had to act. He stepped in with a simple but powerful reminder: "We're on the same team." That pause—that momentary break—allowed everyone to step back and reset. Both the PO and the team members later thanked Scott for his intervention, acknowledging they needed that space to cool down and refocus on their shared outcome. Scott's approach centers on empathy and perspective-taking. He emphasizes thinking about the people involved and putting yourself in their shoes. When tensions rise, sometimes the most valuable contribution a Scrum Master can make is creating space for a break, reminding everyone of the shared goal, and helping teams focus on the outcome rather than the conflict. It's not about taking sides—it's about serving the team by being the calm presence that brings everyone back to what matters most. Self-reflection Question: When you witness conflict between team members or between the team and Product Owner, do you tend to jump in immediately or create space for the parties to find common ground themselves? Featured Book of the Week: An Ex-Manager Who Believed "It was about having someone who believed in me." - Scott Smith Scott's most influential "book" isn't printed on pages—it's a person. After spending 10 years as a Business Analyst, Scott decided to take the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) course and look for a Scrum Master position. That transition wasn't just about skills or certification; it was about having an ex-manager who inspired him to chase his goals and truly believed in him. This person gave Scott the confidence to make a significant career pivot, demonstrating that sometimes the most powerful catalyst for growth is someone who sees your potential before you fully recognize it yourself. Scott's story reminds us that great leadership isn't just about managing tasks—it's about inspiring people to reach for goals they might not have pursued alone. The belief and encouragement of a single person can change the trajectory of someone's entire career. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Dr. Orloff shares how sensitivity and empathy—often misunderstood—are powerful traits that can help teens grow into caring, grounded adults when they have the right support. From defining what it means to be an empath, to setting healthy emotional boundaries, to helping sensitive teens manage overwhelm, Dr. Orloff offers practical wisdom for parents and heartfelt encouragement for anyone raising a deeply feeling child. Together, Colleen and Dr. Orloff discuss how sensitivity can be both a gift and a challenge, and how moms can nurture these qualities without taking on too much themselves.
