8. The Forever War: Jihadist Patience vs. American Cycles. Bill Roggio argues the US has failed to defeat jihadist ideology or funding, allowing groups like Al-Qaeda to persist in Afghanistan and Africa. He warns that adversaries view American withdrawals as proof of untrustworthiness, exploiting the US tendency to fight short-term wars against enemies planning for decades. 1910 PESHAWAR

As a little kid, I always slept terribly on Christmas eve. I'd try and go to bed early. I'd tell myself that the sooner I went to sleep, the sooner I'd wake on Christmas morning. But sure as anything I'd be up all night, listening for any sound of activity on the roof. Together with my three little brothers and sisters, we'd be desperate for mum and dad to throw open our bedroom doors at first light, and we'd scramble down to our spindly-and-slightly-off-centred Christmas tree to see if Dad's old football socks had been attended to by Santa. I suspect this Christmas eve will be another poor sleep. Not because I'll be excitedly listening for the sound of shuffling reindeer on corrugated iron, but because it's my first Christmas morning with our ten-month-old son. We're taking both our boys to their cousins' place. Five kids. Average age: four-and-a-half. Our eldest is already fizzing. Our baby will have absolutely no idea what's going on but will sure as anything wake up a minimum of three times in the night to demand cuddles and a feed. Christmas is a kind of touchstone for our family. Like many Kiwi families, it's the one time of year when all of us (or at least as many of us as possible) are in one place at the same time. Weddings, funerals and Christmas are the only occasions we're all together. And Christmas is the only regular date. As a child you never think of this stuff, but as you grow older you are gently confronted by the reality that for better or worse, the numbers in the room change. The grandparents whom I shared Christmas day with as a little boy are no longer with us, no longer sitting on the couch, sipping their coffees and wryly commentating as the kids tear into the wrapping paper. Granny was a very active woman. Every Christmas morning after we'd stuffed ourselves with chocolates and junk, she'd lead a brisk stroll through the neighbourhood as we worked up an appetite for lunch. Dad and my grandad would stay at home and race through a cryptic crossword. Now it's different. For the kids it's more or less the same. All magic. A whirlwind. A blur. But for the rest of us, a new baby just reinforces our awareness of having stepped up a generation. Where once I was struggling to sleep through the night on Christmas Eve, now it's my boys and their cousins. My parents have become the grandparents sitting on the couch, sipping their coffees, wryly commentating proceedings. My siblings have become the parents, the aunts and uncles. People who once were there, are not. New, excited little bodies have taken their place. There's sadness in it. But there's something quite beautiful about it too, placing yourself in a generational context like that. It's a circle of life thing. It's funny that it comes at Christmas. Other cultures and religions probably have many more of these moments. But we're a bit short on touchstone traditions. For me at least, Christmas is a short little window every year where the busy lives in my family are about as aligned as they're going to be. It's a touchstone where if you want to, you can step back and observe what's changed in the family. My son's first Christmas will mean seeing myself in a slightly different light… not as a kid, or a gift-giver, or someone setting stocking sunder the tree, but as a bridge between different generations of the same family, hoping the spirit of these traditions will continue for many years to come.

Send me a Text Message!In this episode, Mike reflects on the final stretch of 2025 — a year marked by intensity, and now, exhaustion. After running hot from August through early November, the season shifted, and life asked him to slow down, recover, and honor the deeper rhythms at play. This episode is an invitation to listen to your body, feel the energetic cycles, and stop trying to turn winter into summer.Key TakeawaysYou Are Always in a Season — Whether You Realize It or Not When you learn to live in tune with the energy around you, resistance disappears.Most of Us Try to Force Summer in the Middle of Winter The grind mindset disconnects you from your body, your truth, and your spiritual rhythm.Each Season Has a Role: Spring Plants, Summer Grows, Fall Harvests, Winter Rests Your business, body, and soul follow the same cycles — when you let them.Burnout Happens When You Ignore the Season You're In Pain and sickness are often messages from the body that you're out of sync.Goal Setting Isn't One-Size-Fits-All If goals light you up, great. If they drain you, there's another way to move forward.Notable Quotes“The only decision that I had to make was do I honor the natural cycles and seasons of life and allow kind of winter to set in? Or do I try to fight it and turn winter back into summer?”“Nature has cycles and nature has seasons.”“Most people try to fight life. They try to force life. They try to wrestle life to the ground. They try to dominate life.”“Whatever feels aligned for you, do it. Whatever feels unaligned for you, let it go and release it.”“Once you find that, you can let go of all the grind and the hustle and align with your soul's natural instincts and intuition.”Call to Action

Send us a textIn today's episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I'm joined by Alyx Coble-Frakes, founder of The Agenda, for a powerful and wide-ranging conversation about menstrual cycles, perimenopause, and what happens when women stop overriding their bodies.This episode lands perfectly in the middle of my three-part series on Ayurveda and perimenopause, expanding the conversation beyond hormones as something to “fix” and into hormones as sources of insight, rhythm, and power.Together, we explore how understanding the menstrual cycle can radically change how we work, relate, parent, create, and lead — and why ignoring cyclical biology has contributed to burnout, relationship strain, and increasingly difficult perimenopause experiences in modern culture.One of the central themes we explore is the concept of “meno divorce” — a term used to describe the increased likelihood of separation or divorce during perimenopause and menopause, often initiated by women. Rather than framing this as hormones “ruining relationships,” we talk about perimenopause as a truth-revealing portal, where long-standing imbalances, unmet needs, and emotional inequities become impossible to ignore.This conversation is honest, validating, fiery, and deeply compassionate — touching on patriarchy, unpaid labor, nervous system overload, erotic aliveness, and the reclamation of feminine wisdom.In This Episode, We Discuss:• The menstrual cycle as an internal seasonal rhythm • The four phases of the cycle and how they affect energy, mood, libido, and cognition • Why women aren't meant to function on linear, masculine productivity models • Perimenopause as a portal into clarity, sovereignty, and self-truth • What “meno divorce” really reflects — and why it's not about women being “crazy” • Hormonal shifts and reduced tolerance for emotional and relational inequity • The mental load, unpaid labor, and libido loss many women carry in midlife • How understanding cycles can transform partnerships and communication • Why tracking your cycle is a foundational self-care and self-advocacy tool • The overlap between Ayurvedic wisdom and cycle awareness • Reclaiming erotic aliveness, intuition, and feminine leadership in midlifeAbout Today's Guest:Alex Kabul Franks is the founder of The Agenda, a platform dedicated to helping menstruating people sync their lives with their hormonal rhythms so they can feel more in flow physically, emotionally, and mentally.Through cycle-syncing tools, education, and advocacy, Alex's work helps women shift from battling their hormones to recognizing them as a powerful internal guidance system.You can learn more about Alex and her work through The Agenda app and planner (links below).InstagramCheck out The Agenda App:App StoreResources:Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Something is off.Women are doing everything right and still feeling disconnected from their bodies. Hormones feel unpredictable. Cycles feel confusing. Pregnancy feels harder to achieve. And the answers feel fragmented, politicized, or buried beneath noise.In this episode, Bryce sits down with nurse practitioner and fertility consultant Ilana Robbins Renfroe to explore the deeper layers of modern fertility. Not from a place of fear, but from a place of responsibility, awareness, and empowerment.We talk about the quiet pressures women carry today. The collision of modern gender roles, dating culture, delayed family planning, socially normalized sexual habits, and chronic stress. We unpack the invisible forces shaping fertility including microplastics, environmental toxins, food quality, endocrine disruptors, hormonal birth control, and the growing questions around medical policies, vaccines, trust, and informed consent.This is not a conversation about sides.It is a conversation about systems.Bodies.Environment.Truth.And the courage to ask better questions.This episode is for women who want clarity.For men who want to support them better.For couples trying to build families in a world that feels increasingly unnatural.Your body is not broken.It is responding to the world it lives in.⸻Key Quotes from the Episode“Fertility is not just about reproduction. It is a reflection of total health.”“Your body is always responding to its environment, not betraying you.”“Confusion grows when conversations are rushed and questions are dismissed.”“Modern women are carrying ancient biology inside a very unnatural world.”“Informed consent requires space, honesty, and humility.”“Fertility is a dialogue between hormones, safety, stress, and environment.”⸻Key Takeaways• Fertility challenges are multifactorial, not personal failures• Environment, lifestyle, and stress matter as much as biology• Asking questions is an act of responsibility, not rebellion• Men and women share the fertility journey equally• Awareness creates power without creating fear• The goal is alignment, not perfection⸻Timestamps00:00 Welcome and why this conversation matters now04:30 Ilana's background and work in fertility care09:20 The modern fertility decline and global trends15:40 Gender roles, dating culture, and delayed family planning22:10 Stress, safety, and the nervous system28:45 Birth control and cycle awareness35:30 Microplastics, toxins, and everyday exposure43:00 Food quality and endocrine disruption49:10 Vaccines, trust, and informed consent conversations57:20 Male fertility and shared responsibility1:02:40 Preparing the body for pregnancy1:09:00 Bridging medicine, lifestyle, and intuition1:15:30 Final reflections and hope forward⸻Call to ActionIf this episode sparked curiosity, reflection, or conversation, share it with someone you love.Follow Bryce for grounded conversations on fitness, life, and truth. @therealbrycesmithFollow ALLSMITH for lifestyle design, community, and long form dialogue that goes deeper than headlines.@allsmithcoFollow Ilana Robbins Renfroe and her company to learn more about fertility education, women's health, and conscious family building.@nernz20Your health is not a trend.Your body is not broken.And better questions create better livesThank you for Listening!

This episode offers a grounded, emotionally resonant look at why 2025 carried so much heaviness — and what the astrology is signaling as we enter the fiery, forward-moving landscape of 2026. Astrologer KJ Atlas returns to the show to unpack the collective themes that shaped this year: the grief cycles so many have felt, the emotional density created by water-sign retrogrades, the slow-fast disorientation of 2025, and the “first quarter Moon” sensation of seeing the deeper impact of everything set in motion since 2020. KJ and Kehla explore the astrological events that defined 2025 — from the grand water trine, to Mars retrograde in Cancer, to the intense September eclipse season — and how these transits have been quietly reshaping our inner lives, our relationships, and our sense of direction. The conversation then opens into the seismic shifts of 2026: Neptune's once-in-a-lifetime move into Aries, Saturn joining it, February's powerful eclipse season, and the collective pivot into self-led momentum, clarity, independence, and creative fire. Together, they map out what entrepreneurs, creators, leaders, and sensitive beings can expect as the year unfolds. They also share a deeply honest moment from their own friendship — a vulnerable conversation around AI, integrity, and leadership — revealing how 2025 has demanded a level of truth-telling and relational depth from all of us. Their story highlights the very themes this year has surfaced: shedding, discernment, and strengthening what's built to last. Listeners will walk away with a clear understanding of: ✨ Why 2025 felt so dense and emotionally charged ✨ The major astrological transits shaping 2026 ✨ How February's eclipses will ignite momentum and reveal truth ✨ Why authenticity, discernment, and intentional community will define the new business landscape ✨ How to navigate Mercury retrogrades, Jupiter's shift, and the evolving collective energy This is the astrology forecast listeners have been craving — grounded, relatable, emotionally intelligent, and packed with cosmic clarity for the year ahead.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I—Stewart Alsop—sit down with Garrett Dailey to explore a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the mechanics of persuasion and why the best pitches work by attraction rather than pressure, to the nature of AI as a pattern tool rather than a mind, to power cycles, meaning-making, and the fracturing of modern culture. Garrett draws on philosophy, psychology, strategy, and his own background in storytelling to unpack ideas around narrative collapse, the chaos–order split in human cognition, the risk of “AI one-shotting,” and how political and technological incentives shape the world we're living through.

Garrett explains that effective pitching isn't about forcing someone to believe you—it's about creating a narrative gravity so strong that people move toward the idea on their own. This reframes persuasion from objection-handling into desire-shaping, a shift that echoes through sales, storytelling, and leadership.AI is powerful precisely because it's not a mind. Garrett rejects the “machine consciousness” framing and instead treats AI as a pattern amplifier—extraordinarily capable when used as a tool, but fundamentally limited in generating novel knowledge. The danger arises when humans project consciousness onto it and let it validate their insecurities.Recursive language drift is reshaping human communication. As people unconsciously mimic LLM-style phrasing, AI-generated patterns feed back into training data, accelerating a cultural “slopification.” This becomes a self-reinforcing loop where originality erodes, and the machine's voice slowly colonizes the human one.The human psyche operates as a tension between order mind and chaos mind. Garrett's framework maps autism and schizophrenia as pathological extremes of this duality, showing how prediction and perception interact inside consciousness—and why AI, which only simulates chaos-mind prediction, can never fully replicate human knowing.Meaning arises from presence, not abstraction. Instead of obsessing over politics, geopolitics, or distant hypotheticals, Garrett argues for a Zen-like orientation: do what you're doing, avoid what you're not doing. Meaning doesn't live in narratives about the future—it lives in the task at hand.Power follows predictable cycles—and America is deep in one. Borrowing from the Greek kyklos, Garrett frames the U.S. as moving from aristocracy toward democracy's late-stage dysfunction: populism, fragmentation, and institutional decay. The question ahead is whether we're heading toward empire or collapse.Decentralization is entropy, not salvation. Crypto dreams of DAOs and patchwork societies ignore the gravitational pull of power. Systems fragment as they weaken, but eventually a new center of order emerges. The real contest isn't decentralization vs. centralization—it's who will have the coherence and narrative strength to recentralize the pieces.

Industrial cooling is one of the biggest levers industrial facilities can pull on water use—and it's getting harder to ignore as data centers and other high-heat operations grow. Returning guest Dr. Kelle Zeiher (Project Manager at Garratt Callahan) breaks down what water reuse looks like when you move past slogans and into the realities of pretreatment, concentrate management, footprint, and cost. Cooling water reuse: the scale of the opportunity Dr. Zeiher reframes "drought" beyond rainfall, emphasizing aquifer recharge and the limits of focusing only on household restrictions. She contrasts domestic use (~12%) with the much larger share tied to cooling (~50%), then connects that to why optimizing industrial cooling matters—especially when operations sit in arid, desert-like regions with limited water availability. She also shares a data-center statistic that puts "the cloud" into physical terms: ~53 gallons of purified water per gigabyte of data stored to keep environments cool enough for microchips. Higher cycles, RO blending, and the concentrate question The conversation moves into practical tower strategy: driving cycles up as far as the water and metallurgy allow. Dr. Zeiher describes a case moving from three cycles to six with RO blending and pretreatment, resulting in millions of gallons saved annually. From there, the engineering problem becomes unavoidable: higher cycles create a concentrated cooling-water stream, and RO adds its own waste stream. The key operational question is how to manage both streams without trading water savings for disposal and reliability issues. Minimal liquid discharge, and the AEROS approach "Zero liquid discharge" (ZLD) remains a theoretical target, but Dr. Zeiher is clear about the realities: ZLD can require large equipment and high energy demand. She shares a cost example where a 20 gpm ZLD concept came in at nearly $8 million in capital. Her team's approach focuses on minimal liquid discharge (MLD)—recovering roughly 80–90% of water rather than 98–99%, while reducing energy intensity and footprint. She introduces AEROS (Aqueous Recovery Optimization System): rapid precipitation/conditioning, followed by sequential mechanical and membrane filtration, then an RO polishing step to return purified water. Industry wisdom: proof-first projects, relationships, and AI You'll also hear Dr. Zeiher's "proof-first" pathway—bench-style testing, then a 5–10 gpm flow-through evaluation in Oak Ridge, Tennessee (with BioLargo)—plus a process guarantee framework and how credits can apply toward a final system. She closes with leadership lessons on documentation, continuity of customer care, and practical guidance for working with AI: feed it strong technical inputs, then apply human critical thinking before recommendations reach customers. Listen to the full conversation above. Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge! Timestamps 02:40 — End-of-year reflection becomes a professional challenge: keep learning fast enough to keep systems stable and clients confident. 05:50 — "Dry December" as a discipline story—used to tee up Trace's broader point: habits beat calendar-based resolutions. 12:00 — Water You Know 13:10 — The events page pitch: planning early protects training time and reduces last-minute operational fire drills. 17:00 — Dr. Kelle Zeiher returns after Episode 351; AWT Louisville hallway energy turns into a deep dive on reuse. 18:40 — Mystery novels as technical storytelling: The Cupcake Caper, real lab practices, and a pen name built for a non-scientific audience. 20:50 — Data centers and water: 53 gallons per GB stored reframes "the cloud" as heat management with real resource costs. 23:40 — Macro water math: 50% of U.S. water use tied to cooling vs. 12% domestic—why industrial optimization moves the needle. 27:50 — "Pretreatment is everything": RO's tiny flow channels make debris control and scale prevention non-negotiable. 30:10 — Cycles example: 3 to 6 cycles with RO blending/pretreatment, plus the caution that RO-softened blends can increase corrosion risk. 31:30 — ZLD vs. MLD: energy-heavy evaporation/distillation compared to a lower-energy recovery target that still returns most water. 33:50 — AEROS explained: rapid precipitation + filtration + RO polish, with solids handling designed to keep water moving back to the front end. 37:00 — Customer pathway: bench demos → Oak Ridge pilot (5–10 gpm) → engineered system; upfront testing credits toward purchase. 43:20 — Performance accountability: process guarantee includes refund/take-back if promised performance can't be met. 47:40 — Trust and continuity: plant presence, documentation, and relationship handoffs prevent "solution drift" when people change roles. 54:40 — Working with AI: feed it strong data, then apply human critical thinking so recommendations don't outpace experience. Quotes "Water is not a limitless resource. It's a finite resource, and we simply purify it and reuse it over and over again." "We have to learn to work with AI when it's still a toddler before it grows up into the 6th grade bully and beats you up for your lunch money." "Persistence overcomes almost anything." "An AI will give you a great outline for a presentation, but it won't give you a full presentation."

My guest this week is Gavin Baker. Gavin is the managing partner and CIO of Atreides Management, and he has been on the show many times before. I will never forget when I first met Gavin in 2017. I find his interest in markets, his curiosity about the world to be as infectious as any investor that I've ever come across. He's encyclopedic on what is going on in the world of technology today, and I've had the good fortune to host him every year or two on this podcast. Gavin began covering Nvidia as an investor more than two decades ago, giving him a rare perspective on how the company – and the entire semiconductor ecosystem – has evolved. A lot has changed since our last conversation a year ago, making this the perfect time to revisit the topic. In this conversation, we talk about everything that interests Gavin – Nvidia's GPUs, Google's TPUs, the changing AI landscape, the math and business models around AI companies and everything in between. We also discussed the idea of data centers in space, which he communicates with his usual passion and logic. In closing, at the end of this conversation, because I've asked him my traditional closing question before, I asked him a different question, which led to a discussion of his entire investing origin story that I had never heard before. Because Gavin is one of the most passionate thinkers and investors that I know, these conversations are always amongst my most favorite. I hope you enjoy this latest in the series of discussions with Gavin Baker.

Megan chats with Megan Flatt about how your hormone cycle affects your ability to focus and the simple shifts that let you work smarter, protect your brain and get bigger results by doing less. Megan Flatt is the founder of Let's Collective, a business strategy firm helping entrepreneurs achieve more revenue, time, and fulfillment—without the hustle. Megan is also the author of Focused: Reclaim Your Time, Ditch Overwhelm, and Do Less Better, where she blends research and practical strategies to help people do less, better. When she's not strategizing, Megan can be found with a stack of romance novels, a fresh set of office supplies and usually a latte. Learn more at letscollective.co This episode reframes productivity in a way that feels sane again. Megan explains what actually helps your brain focus, why multitasking backfires, and how to plan in cycles that match your energy and biology. She digs into the default mode network, the value of "done" definitions, and the three step planning framework she uses with CEOs. If your brain feels foggy or scattered, these tools will reset your entire approach. Key points discussed include: Tasks, projects and goals are different and clarity here prevents overwhelm. Define your container so your brain knows when work starts and ends. Default mode network time matters because your brain needs space to solve problems. Planning in 90 day cycles works and gives your ideas room to breathe. Hormones influence productivity so aligning your work with your cycle can change everything. Triggers help you focus whether it is headphones, a playlist or a specific workspace. Break tasks into small wins because dopamine drives momentum. Do less better and concentrate on the work that actually moves your business. Connect with Megan Flatt Website | Instagram
In this wide-ranging conversation, Mark Moss joins us to unpack the forces reshaping money, technology, and power in the modern world. From his early days as a tech entrepreneur in California to becoming one of Bitcoin's most recognized educators and investors, Mark shares the personal journey that led him into macroeconomics—and ultimately into Bitcoin.We dig into his “cycles” framework, exploring how history moves in pendulum swings between centralization and decentralization roughly every 250 years, powered by recurring political, financial, and technological shifts. Mark explains why Bitcoin and AI sit at the center of today's “decentralized revolution,” and why AI isn't purely centralizing or decentralizing—but both at once.The discussion then turns to the real-world implications of Bitcoin as a tool for reducing the “return on violence” compared to fiat systems, and how that changes the incentives for governments and institutions. We move deeper into the 40-year bond market cycle, the growing crisis in fixed-income markets, and why aging demographics and financial repression are pushing trillions in capital to search for a new foundation.Finally, Mark shares insights from launching a Bitcoin treasury company in the UK—Satsuma—why demand for Bitcoin-backed yield instruments is exploding, and what the future may look like as traditional finance collides with a new Bitcoin-based base layer.If you're interested in macro, Bitcoin adoption, institutional shifts, and what comes next for global finance, this one is packed.Timestamps04:54 Mark Foss: Journey into Bitcoin and Macro Economics10:06 Cycles of Change: Understanding Economic and Technological Shifts15:11 The Dual Nature of AI: Centralization vs Decentralization19:48 The Return on Violence: Bitcoin vs Fiat24:59 The Bond Market Cycle: Implications for the Future30:00 Satsuma: Launching a Bitcoin Treasury in the UK#Bitcoin #MarkMoss #macroeconomics Subscribe to our channel and hit the bell "
This week we spoke to author and researcher Jason Quitt. He discusses his out-of-body experiences and how they reshaped his understanding of existence, leading him to explore the connections between ancient texts, astronomy, and the cycles of nature. He demonstrates the significance of celestial bodies in ancient cultures, the symbolism of fertility, and the agency of nature as perceived by ancient civilizations. Quitt emphasizes the importance of the pyramids as celestial clocks and the interconnectedness of symbols across different cultures, suggesting a shared ancient knowledge that transcends time and geography. We discuss the duality of the serpent in various cultures, including its representation in Christianity, and how these ancient stories have been passed down through generations, revealing a shared knowledge across civilizations. A really amazing conversation that hit all the points we love to discuss on the podcast!

This week, we explore why breaking unhealthy family patterns can lead us to swing too far in the opposite direction and how overcorrection quietly creates new cycles of disconnection. We walk through practical ways to pursue emotional balance, name inherited patterns, and build healthier relationships without suppressing what matters.DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the cast members and guests.

Pascal Wagner interviews Soren Godbersen, exploring the evolution of real estate crowdfunding, how platforms vet deals, and why LPs should understand platform incentives before investing. Soren breaks down the differences between aggregator platforms and vertically integrated operators, sharing lessons from his decade at EquityMultiple and his new work at Lightstone Direct. The two discuss LP psychology in today's environment, platform vs. direct-to-operator due diligence, and why asset class selection and fee transparency matter more than ever. It's an inside look at how deals get filtered, what red flags LPs should spot, and how investors can sharpen their decision-making in a confusing market.

Everyone says they want to change… but most people stay exactly where they are because they keep repeating the same behaviors in the same toxic environments expecting a different outcome.Here's the truth:The lesson you refuse to learn will keep punching you in the mouth.And you will never heal in the same environment that made you sick.In this episode of the Bedros Keuilian Show, I break down the two realizations that flipped my life: the ones that pushed me into therapy, forced me to confront my past, and made me cut the people, habits, and environments that were keeping me weak.Growth hurts.Healing is war.And becoming unbreakable requires courage, the courage to face your trauma, set boundaries, and walk away from anything or anyone that sabotages your potential.If you're done repeating the same patterns…If you're done living as the lesser version of yourself…This is your wake-up call to man up, do the work, and take your power back.DOMINATION DOWNLOADSTRAIGHT FROM THE DESK OF BEDROS KEUILIANYour weekly no B.S. newsletter to help you dominate in business and in lifehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/MAN UP SCALE BUNDLE: $29 (100% Goes to Charity)Get your Digital Man Up book + Audiobook + 2 Exclusive MASTERCLASSES & Support Shriners Children's Hospital. https://www.manuptribe.com/limited-offerREGISTER FOR THE LEGACY TRIBEGet the Life, Money, Meaning & Impact You Deservehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/legacytribeJOIN MY FREE 6-WEEK CHALLENGE:Transform into a Purpose-Driven Manhttps://bedroskeuilian.com/challengeTHE SQUIRE PROGRAM: A rite of Passage for Your Son as He Becomes a ManA Father and Son Experience That Will Be Remembered FOREVERhttps://squireprogram.com/registerTruLean Supplements | https://www.trulean.com/pages/bedrosGet 50% Off Trulean Subscribe & Save BundleUse Code: BEDROS Few Will Hunt Apparel | https://fewwillhunt.com/Get 20% Off Your Entire OrderUse Code: BEDROSOPEN A FIT BODY LOCATIONA High-Profit, Scalable Gym Franchise Opportunity Driven By Impacthttps://sales.fbbcfranchise.com/get-started?utm_source=bedrosPODCAST EPISODES:https://bedroskeuilian.com/podcast/STAY CONNECTED:Website | https://bedroskeuilian.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bedroskeuilian/LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bedroskeuilianTwitter | https://twitter.com/bedroskeuilian
Why are women expected to feel tired, cranky, or just off for up to two weeks every month? It doesn't have to be this way — and knowing why is a game-changer.In this episode, evolutionary psychologist Dr. Sarah Hill breaks down the two major phases of the menstrual cycle and how wildly different our energy, sleep, cravings, and social needs can be between them. And here's the big takeaway: once women understand these shifts, small daily changes can massively improve mood, energy, and even support fertility.It's time to stop treating women's bodies like men's or flattening hormones with the pill. Instead, we should use the power of cyclical biology to our advantage. This emerging science is about to revolutionize women's health and the way we understand women altogether.Dr Hill's website: https://www.sarahehill.com/Join our new Patreon community! https://patreon.com/lilaroseshow - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

In today's solo episode, I dive deep into something that's been heavy on my heart lately — especially as a new mama — and that is breaking generational curses. I'm talking about how to identify the patterns in your family that may be unhealthy, unbiblical, or downright toxic — and how to STOP them from continuing in your life, your marriage, and your kids' lives. I share tons of biblical encouragement, examples from my own journey, what I've learned through therapy and inner healing, and how you can partner with God to be the change in your family tree. Even if this episode feels a little heavy, I promise — it's packed with hope, grace, and practical steps you can take TODAY.
