Oxygen levels dangerously low in those singlets.Budget telly charm: Cricket in the yard, sprinklers on, a helicopter shot that looks like a camcorder on a fishing line… and yes, a boom mic cameo at 4:42. Chef's kiss.Daphne's Café drama: Eviction threats, gender-role argy-bargy, and Shane trying to mansplain her out of a job. Meanwhile Paul Robinson is already scheming, smarming, and hair-gelling.Max's feelings summit: The blokiest man in Erinsborough attempts group therapy (“I read it in an American magazine”), gets laughed out of his own lounge. Bless.Faces you forgot were hereGuy Pearce looking about twelve and already magnetic.Jason Donovan 2.0 (post–mysterious-riverbed recast).The Robinson clan (Helen forever), and an army of future chart acts and horror-movie alumni warming up in the background.Stats & triviaAired (AU): 17 Apr 1986Aired (UK): 28 Sep 1987 (we waited 17 months for Kylie and still turned up in our millions)Episodes on IMDb: 9,300+ (and somehow all roads still lead back to Daphne's espresso machine)VerdictStill daft, still cozy, still weirdly gripping.

On this episode, we're rewinding to a week when mousse met shoulder pads, Walkmans ruled the school bus, and MTV could anoint a hit before homeroom. It's March 8th, 1986—power ballads are soaring, synths are shimmering, and every chorus begs to be scribbled on a Trapper Keeper.

Angel Tuccy is an award-winning speaker, radio host, TV producer, media specialist. She's the author of 15 bestsellers, and hosts multiple successful online events. A recent one had 6,000 attendees. So this girl knows how to throw a party. So I was surprised, when we talked about the first party she tried to throw which didn't go the way she hoped. What Was the Idea? Angel wanted to create a space where podcasters and potential guests could connect. In 2020, she launched the Need a Guest Facebook community. It took off like wildfire, growing to 10,000 members in just two years. What Went Wrong? Angel built the community but forgot one very important piece: the email list. Ten thousand people in her group… and not a single email address. No opt-in. No funnel. Nothing. As Angel put it, that number was a big fat goose egg. Cue the collective groan ... and laughter. How did Angel Turn it Around She started by adding a Chrome extension to collect emails as new members joined and sent a personal welcome message. That simple change meant every new connection is automatically added to her CRM, where she can follow up directly. Within two years, the group grew from 10,000 to 40,000 members, and this time she captured emails from every single one. Then came the second pivot. With the help of copywriter Jamie Atkinson, Angel went from sending no emails at all to sending a daily message. The result was immediate. Her audience, who had been waiting to hear from her, started responding. In the first month, six new clients signed on. From there, daily emails turned into conversations, conversations turned into sales calls, and sales calls turned into revenue. Building systems that connected the dots between community, communication, and clients was a game changer. ABOUT ANGEL Angel Tuccy is an award-winning Speaker, Radio Host, TV Producer, PR Media Specialist, and author of 15 bestsellers.

Aziz Ansari is a comedian who seems to always have been intrigued by the idea of status, and the stranglehold it can put people in. You might not immediately think of it when you think of his work, but the 42-year-old seems drawn to dreamers and strivers and people who yearn to transcend their station in life, finding comedy and drama in the gap between what they have and what they covet.In Parks & Recreation, the hit sitcom that made him a household name, Aziz played Tom Haverford, a small-town entrepreneur obsessed with expensive colognes, designer clothes and living a luxury existence; this despite working in the not exactly glamorous world of local government. His acclaimed stand-up work has also touched on materialism. And who can forget Master Of None, the Netflix series he wrote and directed, from 2015 to 2021. That Emmy Award-winning show frequently discussed social mobility. As a child of Indian immigrants, Aziz's character Dev found himself on more than one occasion reflecting on the life that he gets to live compared to the one his parents sacrificed to give him.Which brings us to Good Fortune – the comedian's hilarious feature directorial debut. It's a movie that could only exist in our depressing era of gig work and Amazon so-called fulfilment centres. Aziz plays Arj – a Task Rabbit employee trying and failing to make ends meet. At his wits end after a series of setbacks, he's visited by an angel named Gabriel, played by Keanu Reeves, who swaps him into the shoes of his ultra-rich boss, Jeff, played by Seth Rogen. He's meant to learn that actually, money isn't the solution to all your problems. True happiness comes from within. Just one problem – in our cost-of-living crisis era, money does at the very least make people's lives much easier. Arj doesn't want to swap back. Cue a ridiculous and ridiculously funny romp through LA's glitziest parties and seediest shadow spaces. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Aziz tells me about actually becoming a Door Dash worker in real life, delivering food to people's doors, as a window into the impossible economics of jobs like that. We break down the funniest moments and the most powerful truths in this tale. And you'll also hear Aziz reflect on his own relationship with luck and so-called good fortune.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Brooke wants it simple and minimal—no balloons allowed—which is not exactly Kelly's style, but she's stepping back and letting Brooke take the lead… even if it's hard!The moms also share a sweet message from a listener who says the girls clearly had a strong support system to come through Dance Moms with class and grace—something that wasn't always on display on-screen. Cue the well-deserved pats on the back.Finally, the ladies open up about how old clips resurfacing on social media can stir up more than just memories. Do they still feel the drama?

Dearest faithful EIC listeners, happy Friday, it's time for a round table discussion to dissect the biggest stories from the week.The UK's first ever celebrity Traitors is here, following beloved series across in the US. This cohort include huge figures like Stephen Fry, Claire Balding, Jonathan Ross, Charlotte Church, Alan Carr and Nick Mohammed to name a few. The show, which was recorded earlier this year at Ardross Castle in Scotland, features 19 celebrity contestants competing for a prize of £100,000 for a charity of their choosing. We talk about whether or the beloved show is executing this new famous format.Next up, sugar daddy finances. We recently read a piece for Bustle by Camille Soheet Pesha called Even The Sugar Daddies Are Feeling The Squeeze: As costs of living climb, high earners who once had money to burn on their sex lives are cutting back.” And in the piece she explores a troubling trend where the men who were once willing and able to splash the cash on sugar babies are now struggling to keep up. Sugar dating, for anyone not aware, is a type of transactional relationship where sugar daddies, typically older and wealthier, would offer gifts and money and a better quality of life to often younger, very beautiful women who offer companionship and intimacy. We discuss our thoughts on the piece.Lastly, last year we had Brat girl summer, but the season of green might not be over yet, are we potentially having Zack Polanski autumn? The Green party has reached over 110,000 members at the time of recording, for the first time. In England and Wales the party has had over a 55% rise in membership since Polanski took over last month. Polanski has had an unconventional path to politics, previously working as an actor, hypnotherapist and mental health counsellor. And yet is proving to be one of the most effective communicators we've seen in a very long time. One of Polanksi's slogans is ‘Let's make hope normal again', is this stratospheric new interest in the Green Party making us feel hopeful?We hope you enjoy listening, please do leave us a review on Apple Podcasts and a rating on Spotify or wherever you get podcasts, love, O,R,B xxRuchira's been loving: RoofmanBeth's been loving: Better ManOenone's been loving: Game Of ThronesThe Celebrity TraitorsEven The Sugar Daddies Are Feeling The SqueezeGreen Party over 100k membersThanks so much to Cue for editing this podcast.

"Is lobster from a fast food window the future of dining — or a culinary crime?"In this deliciously chaotic episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray serve up a sizzling segment of food talk that's equal parts hilarious and surprisingly insightful.The gang dives into the strange world of fast food innovation, starting with the mysterious rise of steak bites — and Ben's brutally honest review: “Man, it was ass.” From cold steak nuggets to leather-textured protein, the crew doesn't hold back. Skin jokes, “I love steak leather. You can use it for protein or as a wallet.”Then comes the big reveal: a new two-in-one restaurant opening in Plano — Angie's Lobster and Angie's Prime Grill — promising luxury eats like lobster rolls for just $9.99. But would you trust lobster from a drive-thru? The debate heats up as the team weighs in on hot vs. cold lobster rolls, butter vs. mayo, and the food truck vs. fast food experience.Krystina drops a bombshell: “I just don't like lobster.” Cue the collective gasp.
In this segment of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into a whirlwind of celebrity news and personal reflections, kicking things off with a somber yet heartfelt tribute to R&B icon D'Angelo, whose untimely passing at 51 from pancreatic cancer left fans reeling. Skin shares a deeply personal story about his connection to D'Angelo's music, including seeing him live in Dallas three times since 1995. But it's not all heavy. The gang lightens the mood with a hilarious breakdown of D'Angelo's infamous “Untitled” music video — yes, the one with the V. KT confesses it inspired him to start doing sit-ups at age 11, while Ben and Skin riff on the absurdity of being a reluctant sex symbol. Cue the panty-throwing concert stories and a perfectly timed jab: “No one wants to be R. Kelly. Hindsight.”The segment also touches on the passing of Diane Keaton (no, she's not related to Michael Keaton — we Googled it too), and the surprising hospitalization of Home Alone star Daniel Stern, prompting KT to jokingly predict he might be next in the celebrity “comes-in-threes” curse.From gut-punching grief to gut-busting laughs, this episode is a rollercoaster of emotion, nostalgia, and classic Ben and Skin banter.
It may be "end of line" for Earth's Mightiest Critics as we sift through the corrupted-file wasteland of Tron: Ares!Jared Leto stars as the titular security program caught in the middle of a corporate struggle to bring digital avatars into the real world. Cue the light cycles, data discs, sky-beam portals, and a fistful of other jangling keys meant to distract from a story that literally sets the franchise back by more than a decade.The gang also looks at other franchises crushed under Disney's IP onslaught, and assesses DC's prospects for doing something different with its own blockbuster properties (spoiler alert: it's grim).Join us for a code-bashing (and head-bashing) roundtable review--where we also take your questions, comments, and SuperChats!Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the Tron: Ares (2025) trailer.Support all of Earth's Mightiest Critics at their various outlets:Keep up with Jeff York's criticism and caricatures at The Establishing Shot and Pipeline Artists.Check out Mark "The Movie Man" Krawczyk's The Spoiler Room Podcast.Get seated with The Blonde in Front!Follow David Fowlie's film criticism at Keeping It Reel.Get educated with Don Shanahan at Every Movie Has a Lesson…...And Film Obsessive...and the Cinephile Hissy Fit Podcast.Keep up with Annie Banks at The Mary Sue....and We Got This Covered.Make Nice with Mike Crowley of You'll Probably Agree.And save your celluloid soul with Dave Canfield's Substack, "Creature Feature Preacher".

Edition No254 ||| Day 1,339 ||| 15-10-2025 - This is your Silicon Bites Daily Geopolitics Brief, with a rundown of news stories on 15th October 2025. We cover Ukraine, Russia, China and the global struggle against autocracy. We start with a moment of extraordinary weakness, a comment that could act as a red rag to a bull, as far as Putin is concerned, because he is provoked to aggression by weakness, not by strength and push back. Mark Rutte claims that shooting down Russian jets breaching allied airspace would be a sign of weakness. Cue a storm of criticism from Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans who actually live under the flight paths of Russia drones and missiles. We also examine Russia's latest winter strikes on Ukraine's grid; Kyiv hits back deep inside Russia; Poland warns Europe to prepare for “deep” Russian attacks; and NATO scrambles for fresh air defences as aid dips. ----------This is super important. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.

It's another week in real life for the gang — or at least for most of us. Devon's down sick, so it's a two-man show featuring Steven and Ben navigating the bizarre crossroads of tech, food, and VR golf.
In this long-awaited episode, Gyles (and Harriet) talk to the psychotherapist, writer and broadcaster Julia Samuel about bereavement. As regular Rosebud listeners will know, bereavement - whether in childhood or adulthood - is a recurring theme on the podcast, and we have received and shared many heartfelt and deeply moving emails from listeners who lost parents and family members when they were very young, and in difficult circumstances. We also know that we're listened to by lots of recent widows, and others who are grieving. This special episode is for you, and for anyone else who knows the pain of grief... which is probably most of us, let's be honest! Julia Samuel is the founder of Child Bereavement UK, an experienced psychotherapist, and the writer of the best-selling book Grief Works (which is also an app and a podcast). She is one of the UK's foremost experts on bereavement and grief, the ways it affects us, and the ways we can heal and grow through it. In this long and fascinating conversation, she talks to Gyles about the importance of "jumping in the puddle" of grief, and not denying or ignoring it. She talks about the best ways to support someone who has lost a loved one. She talks about her own family history, and the way her family story, with its secrets and buried feelings, led her to work in this field. And the podcast ends with Julia talking to Harriet about her experience of the death of her mother, who took her own life when Harriet was 13. (This episode does contain references to suicide). We would love to hear your thoughts and stories that arise from listening to this edition of Rosebud. Email us any time at hello@rosebudpodcast.com and Harriet will try her best to reply! You can also chat to fellow listeners on our Facebook page, Rosebud Reflections. Lots of people are sharing their stories on there. We're honoured to have Julia Samuel with us today. And we're honoured that you're listening to us. Cue the music... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We dive into the Wachowskis' brilliant direction, the philosophical questions about free will, reality, and control, and how the film's groundbreaking visuals changed the industry forever. From Neo's awakening to the deeper symbolism of the red and blue pills, we analyze what makes The Matrix so much more than just an action movie — it's a cinematic experience that redefined how audiences think about technology, identity, and truth.

What if you could teach your pet not just one way to understand a cue, but multiple ways — or even help them notice their own body as a signal? That's the magic of cue transfers, and in this episode, Emily breaks down how to do it step by step.From teaching a reliable sit with both verbal and hand cues, to empowering your pet to recognize when they need a safe space, cue transfers can make life easier, communication clearer, and your pet's agency stronger. You'll also learn common mistakes to avoid so you can set your learner up for success from the start.TLDL (too long, didn't listen): 3 Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Start with fluency. Make sure your learner really knows the behavior with one cue before you try to add another.2️⃣ New cue first, old cue second. The new signal should predict the old one to create a strong, clear association.3️⃣ Empower with environment & body cues. Cue transfers can help pets learn to self-regulate or respond to environmental triggers without needing you to step in.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.

Audio Pizza | More Than Just a Sound Bite. Reviews, Tutorials and Commentary by and for the Blind
This month, the globe spins faster than Sean's excuses for not reading the manual as the Audio Pizza crew—Kayaker, Garth, and Shaun—check in from around the world with special guest Brett Halle and a surprise cameo from Jordie, freshly armed with a shiny new iPhone 17 Pro. The gang dives deep into Apple's latest event—iPhones, Watches, AirPods, and a healthy sprinkle of sarcasm. • Shaun: Still refusing to upgrade because “thinness is overrated.” • Garth: Tempted by the Air, but only if it gets a second speaker. • Brett: Drops insider-level knowledge bombs about RAM, LiDAR, and AI headroom. • Jordie: Loves her 17 Pro, mainly because it can describe her baby's outfit on command. Expect passionate debates about whether LiDAR is life-changing or just expensive potential, why every blind person's favourite phrase is “depends how you use it,” and how battery life is the new religion. Shaun leads the charge on the Meta event, which somehow excited him more than Apple's. The crew covers: • New Meta Ray-Bans and Oakleys with better cameras and longer battery life. • The wild new neural wristband that reads muscle signals so you can air-type like a Jedi. • Seeing AI and Be My Eyes coming to the glasses—accessibility in your face. • And of course, Kayaker's existential crisis over whether using Meta violates his privacy vows. Last month's cliffhanger returns: Shaun still can't back up his iPhone. Cue a group intervention featuring Garth's step-by-step fix, Brett's “pay the 99 cents” wisdom, and a gentle reminder that losing your phone is worse than losing your morals to Meta. Got opinions? Email sgk@theblind.ninja and earn bonus points if you tell Garth he's wrong.

In this episode, we break down Whiplash — Damien Chazelle's intense psychological drama about obsession, perfection, and the price of greatness. We dive into the explosive dynamic between Miles Teller's driven drummer and J.K. Simmons' terrifying instructor, exploring the themes of discipline, abuse, and artistic ambition. We also analyze the film's brilliant editing, sound design, and how Chazelle builds unbearable tension through rhythm and silence. Whether you see it as a story of triumph or tragedy, Whiplash remains one of the most powerful films ever made about chasing perfection.

The Hills' Caroline D'Amore steps Behind The Rope. Once dubbed Hollywood “It” Girl in the early 2000s due to her BFFs Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, Caroline is here to, as we like to say, mention it all. Caroline chats about The Kardashians, Kris Jenner, The Hills, The Simple Life and more. Caroline talks fellow cast mates Spencer and Heidi, her drama with The OC's Mischa Barton and more. As is often the case here Behind The Rope, all convo quickly leads to Housewives. Caroline breaks down her ties with Kyle Richards, Kathy Hilton and RHOBH. Cue music, “Starring at the blank page before you, Open up the dirty window… Feel the rain on your skin. No one else can feel it for you. Only you can let it in...The rest is still unwritten." @carolinedamore @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Left and the Right Deserve Each Other https://www.odwyerpr.com/story/public/23694/2025-10-03/left-right-deserve-each-other.html Bill Burr Destroys His Reputation https://youtu.be/PECQihXJb_g?si=kFBcglMmm1tWs4c8 00:00:00 – Cold Open, CB Radio Day & Show Plans Kicks off with loose banter about “National CB Day” vs. truckers, old-school CB culture, travel plans, and lining up guest co-hosts; sets a playful tone before hinting at heavier news. 00:10:00 – “Escaping the Simulation” Article They dissect a Popular Mechanics piece (and Roman Yampolskiy's ideas) on whether we can exit a simulated reality, poke holes in the write-up, and riff on paradoxes, mass meditation, and overloading “the system” with AI fluff. 00:20:00 – Books & Models of Reality Bringing in My Big TOE (Tom Campbell), The Holographic Universe (Talbot), and The Simulation Hypothesis (Virk), Mike contrasts “level 2” takes with richer frameworks—e.g., distributed-mind generation of reality vs. a Linux-in-the-sky overseer. 00:30:00 – Can You Really Get Out? They argue escape likely requires death or radical detachment (no attachments, near-Zen), invoke “life review,” karma/progression RPG mechanics, and conclude there's no cheap hack—only becoming a better human. 00:40:00 – Mind Power, NPCs & Inner Monologue Into consciousness: people without inner monologues/mental imagery, social-cue humor, and how thought quality affects health and “the sim.” They chew on whether offloading thinking to AI weakens individual processing and spawns weirder glitches. 00:50:00 – Headlines: Drones, War Talk & Odd Death Quick hits: NATO-airspace drone incursions; skepticism about Venezuela “seize the airfields” stories; and a troubling Texas case (GOP staffer death by self-immolation) with sealed records that fuels speculation. 01:00:00 – Transparency & Global Gen-Z Protests On sealed files, political ties, and why Gen-Z is protesting globally—social-media chain reactions from Madagascar to Nepal; digital natives demanding change in the streets. 01:10:00 – Libya, UK Digital IDs & BoBo Craze Libya headlines resurface; talk turns to rumored UK digital ID rollouts (timing, pushback), then a detour into BoBo collectible toys, pop-culture virality, and retail charts going bonkers. 01:20:00 – Saudi Soft Power: EA & Entertainment Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund keeps buying influence—EA deal talk, AI plays, and mega-city “The Line”; frames the Riyadh comedy festival as part of a broader rebrand. 01:30:00 – Riyadh Comedy Festival: Burr & Chappelle Bill Burr gets roasted for cashing a $1.5M+ gig and praising KSA after slamming billionaires; Chappelle says it's “easier to talk here than in America.” They wonder who was invited, who wasn't, and whether any set will be released. 01:40:00 – Pitmaster… Deodorant?! Cratchet corner: Progresso launches BBQ-smoke “Pitmaster” deodorant to pair with its soup line; sold-out “Pit Kits” spur jokes about meme products and manufactured scarcity. 01:50:00 – “Jetpack Man” over LAX: Files Drop FOIA'd FBI docs muddy the mystery: pilots describe a humanoid-looking object with no visible propulsion; not a balloon, maybe not a person—just more questions and withheld pages. Cue wild “monkey suit goblin” punchlines. 02:00:00 – AI Music & Wrap They debut/talk AI-assisted songs (“Peg Your Jeans…”, “Chubby Puppy”), muse on 90s-grunge vibes, and plug Patreon/next shows. Nostalgic music talk closes the loop.

President Trump backed Democrats into a corner, and now he's throwing Soros-funded bricks at them. For the first time in decades, the Uniparty finds itself in a precarious position on the budget. Normally, we play the “Budget Game,” where Washington stages a melodrama about running out of money. Cue the violins. Cue the crocodile tears. Cue the inevitable Continuing Resolution (CR)—that convenient, pork-stuffed Band-Aid Congress slaps over our fiscal gunshot wounds.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we break down Casino Royale, the 2006 James Bond reboot that redefined the character for a new era.

From the legendary poker game to Vesper Lynd's heartbreaking arc, we analyze the themes, cinematography, and emotional weight that make Casino Royale one of the greatest spy movies ever made.

Click here to try it out!This week we celebrate the late, great Robert Redford the Bad Dads way: with a chaotic Top 5 Roberts and a deep dive into All the President's Men — the newsroom thriller where Redford and Dustin Hoffman painstakingly peel back Watergate until the whole presidency caves in. It's cigarettes, typewriters, and journalism that actually mattered.What we get intoRedford & Hoffman, peak charisma: why their odd-couple energy (and immaculate 70s fits) makes procedural journalism feel electric.The craft stuff: split-diopter shots, sound design that drowns phone calls in newsroom chaos, and that final typewriter barrage (“Nixon Resigns”) still landing like a gut punch.Truth vs. proof: editors wrestling with “we know it” versus “we can print it,” and why that tension hits even harder now.Deep Throat decoded: “follow the money,” the parking-garage paranoia, and how the film weaponises quiet dread.Top 5 Roberts (no De Niro, no Redford — house rules)We raid film, TV, music and pop culture for the best Bobs/Roberts/Robbies—from Sideshow Bob and Robert Englund to Robert Mitchum, Rob Reiner, Bob Odenkirk, Robert “Bob with bitch tits” Paulson, SpongeBob (Robert) Squarepants, and some gloriously fringe picks (RIP Rob Garrison, Cobra Kai's OG goon). Expect arguments, deep cuts, and at least one guided detour through Spinal Tap and King Crimson.The chaotic quiz: Redford or Red Ford (…or both)?Sidey springs a quiz where every answer is either Redford (the man) or red Ford (the car on screen). Cue confusion, Christine vs Cars, The Sting, All Is Lost, and a tricksy Winter Soldier “both” that broke brains and buzzers.Content note: swearing, savage tangents, and the occasional anatomical overshare. If you came for “balanced coverage,” you've wildly misread the brand.

Feeling stuck in your 30s and wondering if a career in healthcare could be your second chance? You're not alone, and I've been there too! I share my personal journey of starting over after closing a business and leaving a radiology program due to illness. Trust me, moving back home and driving FedEx trucks wasn't my dream scenario, but it led me to rediscover my passion for healthcare and become a radiology technologist. In this episode, I dive into the nitty-gritty of evaluating healthcare careers through the lens of time, money, lifestyle, and longevity. So, if you're looking for a fresh start, let's explore how healthcare could be your golden ticket to a fulfilling future!Starting fresh in your 30s (or even 40s) can feel like you're diving into the deep end without a life jacket, right? Well, grab your floaties, because I've got a personal story that just might inspire you to take that plunge. Picture this: I was in my 20s, freshly out of a business venture that didn't quite go as planned, feeling like a deflated balloon. I had to pack up my life, leave a radiology program due to illness, and sell almost everything I owned. Yep, I went from independent adult to moving back into my childhood bedroom. Cue the dramatic music! But here's the kicker: driving FedEx trucks became my gig while I rebuilt my life. Crazy, right? This journey led me to rediscover my passion for healthcare, and I eventually became a radiology technologist. So, if you're a woman in your 30s feeling stuck or burned out, this episode is your personal lifeline. We break down the essentials of evaluating a career in healthcare, so you don't just dive in blind. I dive into the framework of time, money, lifestyle, and longevity—no need to waste precious resources! We'll navigate the waters together, exploring how a career in healthcare can be your second chance. Forget the fear; let's talk about how you can pivot your career and make meaningful changes that align with who you are today!Takeaways: Starting over in your 20s can be terrifying, but it often leads to growth and new opportunities. Healthcare careers are generally recession-proof, making them a smart choice for job security. When considering a career change, evaluate time, money, lifestyle, and longevity to make informed choices. It's never too late to pivot your career; your 30s can be the perfect time for a fresh start in healthcare. Medical imaging offers various pathways, allowing for flexibility and future growth in your career.

Apparently, some numpty thinks we introverts cannot be cool. And worse still, they said it to a huge audience as if it were fact. Cue my John McEnroe moment: you cannot be serious. In this episode I call out the lazy research, the extraversion bias and the sloppy definitions that keep throwing we introverts into the uncool bucket. I also share what I believe really makes people cool and why it has nothing to do with status or noise. It is about being real, a little brave, and unapologetically yourself. So if you have ever been made to feel less than simply for being quieter, come with me as we reclaim the narrative. Maybe, just maybe, that is the new cool. ** Key Points ** Extraversion bias exposed Redefining cool Owning authenticity #AuthenticityIsCool #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

And you'll definitely want to listen to to the end of this one! Cue the music.Jung's latest book is out now and available now from here. It is riveting, and highly recommended. Hosted on Acast.

What happens when you finish a 50K…but the official results say otherwise?That's exactly what happened to me back in May when I ran the Bloodroot 50K. I crossed the finish line. I've got the pictures & the Garmin data to prove it. But a couple weeks later, a former client emailed me to say: “Not sure if you know this, but UltrasignUp has you listed as a DNF.”Cue five months of back-and-forth with Spartan (the race organizer), unanswered emails, dead ends, and more marketing emails in my inbox than I can count.And here's the thing: this isn't about me being salty that my UltrasignUp ranking shows a DNF. I've DNF'd before - no shame there. What frustrates me is what this says about how some race organizations are treating runners.Because if this had been your first 50K? If you put your heart, soul, and Saturday mornings into training…showed up nervous but ready…crossed that finish line…and then found out you were listed as a DNF? That would sting. Bad.In this episode, I'm breaking down:The messy reality of my Bloodroot 50K results sagaWhy I think some race organizations have lost sight of their runnersWhat this experience taught me as a coach (and former RD)Why you deserve credit for your work—especially if it's your first ultraI'll keep you posted on whether Spartan ever corrects this mistake. But in the meantime, if you've had something similar happen—don't give up. Keep asking for what you've earned. You deserve to be seen.⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT

Irresistible You: Lose the Emotional Weight | Body Image | Confidence | Weight Loss
I'm leaving for my yearly Disney trip for the T1D conference, and y'all — nothing will humble you more than a three-way dressing-room mirror. I tried on one of those athletic dresses and BAM: back-fat in the mirror I'd never noticed before. Cue the body image vacation panic. But I refused to let bad lighting and spandex steal my trip. In this episode, I tell the whole embarrassing story, exactly how I knocked myself out of that spiral, and why you absolutely cannot put your life on hold until the scale says so.
Is it ever okay to walk away from your own mother… or your husband? (Cue the gasps from the peanut gallery clutching their pearls.) If you grew up in church culture, you probably heard that honoring your parents and submitting to your husband meant swallowing abuse with a smile. But guess what? That's not actually what Jesus had in mind.In this episode, I sit down with Christian counselor and author Kris Reese (yes, the YouTube powerhouse with over 476,000 subscribers) to dismantle the toxic myths that keep Christian women chained to destructive relationships.Together, we talk about:The big guilt trip – Why Christians confuse “honor” with “obey” and how that keeps grown women stuck in parent-child dynamics with their 70-year-old mothers.The covenant conundrum – What makes walking away from a spouse more complicated, and why wisdom (not religious rule-keeping) is the real key.The fog machine – Fear, obligation, and guilt: the trifecta abusers use to keep you running in circles like a hamster who just discovered Peloton.Boundaries ≠ lack of forgiveness – FACTS: You can forgive your mom and still not show up to her guilt-drenched Sunday dinners. You can forgive your husband and still not share a bed with him while he weaponizes scripture against you.Manipulation tactics 101 – Victimhood and scripture-twisting are the go-to moves of toxic moms and spouses everywhere. (“You're not being a good daughter/wife” translates to: “My control over you is slipping and I hate it.”)Trauma bonds and porcupines – Why you might be clinging to the emotional equivalent of a barbed-wire teddy bear, and how to finally put it down without losing your sanity.Why Christians stay too long – It's not because they're lazy or selfish. It's because they've been conditioned to confuse holiness with masochism.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Go to Kris' website to get on the waitlist so that you're the FIRST to know when her new book, Breaking the Narcissist's Grip, is released!Get her FREE Narcissist Survival Guide.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Prophecy, after decades adrift in the Delta Quadrant, a Klingon generation ship crosses paths with Voyager and finds what they've been looking for: a prophesied savior. Or rather, the unborn child of B'Elanna and Tom. Cue the ceremonial declarations, theological debates, and one very reluctant bat'leth duel. But when the Doctor uncovers a life-threatening illness among the Klingons, prophecy gives way to science, and that same baby might still be the key to salvation.

Hey beautiful human! Let's talk about that gut-punch moment we've all had… You step on the scale after a big meal, a holiday weekend, or a night out—and boom. It's up 3, 4, maybe even 5 pounds. Cue the panic: “Did I just ruin all my progress?” Here's the truth: one meal can't make you gain five pounds of fat—it's not scientifically possible. But what the scale does reflect might surprise you… and in this bonus episode, I'm breaking it all down. We're getting into: The math behind fat gain and why 5 pounds overnight just isn't real What's actually happening in your body when the scale jumps Why trying to “make up for it” with cardio or restriction backfires The exact steps to take after a big meal to support your body (and your mindset) How to stop fearing food and finally ditch the all-or-nothing guilt spiral If the number on the scale has ever messed with your head, this episode is going to help you breathe easier, think clearer, and stay consistent—without the shame spiral.
