When David's circumstances were chaotic and confusing, he had a choice to make. You and I have the same decision. Will we inquire of the Lord and delight in His direction, or will we go our own way?

This episode is for anyone who's ever looked at their life and thought, Is this really it?(Especially if you're a woman navigating midlife, menopause, chronic pain, or the rage of being dismissed by your doctor).Joanne Peters spent decades in a high-pressure corporate job before it broke her down. When the depression hit and her joints gave out, she didn't get answers — she got brushed off.Through strength training, hormone therapy, and the slow grind of injury rehab, she rebuilt her life — and I asked her to explain how.Joanne and I talk openly about menopause, medical gaslighting, and why midlife women are overdue for a comeback story that doesn't require a six-pack.In this episode, we talk about:⦁ Joanne's escape from corporate burnout, and what finally pushed her to quit⦁ How to shift from aesthetics to performance-based goals⦁ How Joanne started strength training at 48 and now nails 10 chin-ups⦁ Why joint pain isn't “just aging”⦁ The truth about hormone replacement therapy⦁ What perimenopause really looks like (and how early it starts)⦁ The emotional toll of being dismissed by doctors while your body's screaming at you⦁ Tips on mobility, and why most trainers miss the markFind more from Joanne PetersOn Instagram @average_jo_armoury https://armouryfitness.ca/

Unstoppable: Anthony Robles on Defying the Odds and Dominating the Mat In this week's episode of the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus, Melanie, and Hunter welcome NCAA wrestling champion and three-time All-American Anthony Robles. Born with one leg, Anthony refused to let his circumstances define him, instead rewriting the rules of perseverance and grit to capture the 2011 NCAA Wrestling Championship for Arizona State University—earning the nickname “The Beast.” Anthony's story of resilience has inspired millions, chronicled in his autobiography Unstoppable and the upcoming feature film of the same name. Beyond the mat, he has built a powerful platform as a motivational speaker, Nike athlete, and member of President Obama's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition, as well as a respected NCAA wrestling analyst for ESPN and the Pac-12 Network. In this conversation, Anthony shares the mindset that propelled him to the top of collegiate wrestling as well as lessons on perseverance, faith, and unlocking hidden potential. Anthony Robles' journey is a testament to the phrase “never quit,” proving that true strength lies in heart and determination. Tune in for a powerful dose of inspiration from a man who embodies the spirit of resilience. In this episode you will hear: • My mom always told me growing up that God made me this way for a reason. (3:26) • Every single challenge I've faced was a puzzle. I could figure it out. There's nothing that I couldn't do. (3:35) • She [My mom] would say “You never let a challenge become an excuse to say I can't do it.” (6:15) • I had frustration and rage in me, but I was able to channel that, and use it for wrestling. (7:43) • If I quit now, I'm proving a lot of people right. (7:56) • I don't know where I'd be right now without those individuals who did support me. (12:19) • My goal in my junior year was nothing but state champion. (13:26) • I received a stack of letters from a group of 3rd graders who were shown the movie. They were writing me as their hero of the week. That, for me, opened my eyes to finally understand that I was wrestling for a bigger cause and a bigger purpose than just a bracket or a medal to put around my neck. (22:05) • I don't want to look back with regret thinking “Man, I wish I had done more.” (26:57) • I want my son to look up to me and say “I want to be like my dad one day.” (27:25) • [My mom] was the best coach I could have ever asked for in my life. (31:21) • My message is the word “Unstoppable”. It's the fact that we all wrestle with a challenge, (39:10) • If you're unchallenged, you're unchanged. (39:50) • [Marcus] “Man, you don't have a message – you ARE the message.” (40:07) • Greatness is not measured by trophies; it's not measured by getting first place. It's just knowing you gave your very best.

What discourages you the most? The Bible tells us about a time David was tempted to be discouraged. His home was destroyed by an enemy army and his own men were accusing him. But David knew how to be encouraged in the Lord.

EP. #1249 Spiritual Warfare Unleashed: From Demonic Overdose to Defying the Globalist Abyss Returning guest Allan Paul Roberts recounts a harrowing ordeal that forever altered his life. At sixteen, unknowingly dosed with a massive overdose of mescaline after a family trip to Europe, Allan endured days of hallucinations, paranoia, and isolation in a hospital room. There, he confronted a raging demonic entity, only to be instantly delivered through a desperate recitation of the Lord's Prayer—revealing evil as an intelligent force and God's power as supreme. Decades later, this spiritual battle fuels his exposé on globalist agendas in his book, The Globalist Plan to Collapse Everything to Usher in a New World Order. GUEST:  Allan Paul Roberts is the author of The Globalist Plan to Collapse Everything to Usher in a New World Order, where he exposes global schemes aimed at societal downfall.

Heart 101 is one of the most unique graffiti writers to make a mark on the San Francisco scene. Defying style conventions, he pushed the message “Heart Over Capital” as a way to encourage love over money, while also speaking out against oppression in society. Born in Delaware, Heart moved to San Francisco as a teenager and found himself immersed in the hustle of street life. As an openly queer person, he faced hatred, disses, and even physical attacks from homophobic graffiti writers. This only hardened Heart's determination for survival, and he has continues to live by his own terms and push a message through art.

#OzWatch: 1919: Sydney  1/4 - Unprecedented Australian Winter Weather Australia is experiencing highly unusual and severe winter weather, defying Bureau of Meteorology predictions for a mild end to the season. New South Wales has seen snow at exceptionally low altitudes (300-400 feet, near sea level), while tropical Queensland faced cold, windy, and wet conditions. The southern continent endured blustery conditions and significant wind damage, with Victoria experiencing sustained winds of 60-65 mph, much stronger than usual. Most remarkably, two "fast-moving tornadoes" struck Adelaide's northern suburbs, a city whose stable, dry climate typically prevents such formations. The Bureau attributes this to a combination of La Niña-like conditions (warmer Pacific, more moisture), the Indian Ocean Dipole(cooler Indian Ocean), and a sudden Antarctic blast that trapped cold air over the continent, creating intense weather. Meteorologists are reportedly "scratching their heads" about the system, anticipating "wild, freaky weather" and an extended winter.1/4 - Unprecedented Australian Winter Weather Australia is experiencing highly unusual and severe winter weather, defying Bureau of Meteorology predictions for a mild end to the season.

*This episode contains mature content. This week, we hear from two remarkable women who dared to pursue their dreams even when faced with disbelief, ultimately dedicating their lives to helping others through their art and work. First, country music star Mickey Guyton shares her journey of breaking barriers and finding her voice in an industry that wasn’t always ready for her. Then, author and speaker Lea Hurley opens up about how her personal health experiences shaped a life and a business she created to help herself but ended up helping others in a way she never dreamed possible.

And I understand the cultural differences, but people were trying to make me palatable to a country music audience.” - Mickey Guyton “Country music literally fell into my lap. “It was a God thing. It was a spiritual thing. It chose me.” - Mickey Guyton “I was like, ‘Why do you think country music isn’t working for me?’ And my husband was like, ‘Because you’re running away from everything that makes you different. Country music is three chords and the truth. Why aren’t you leaning into that?’” - Mickey Guyton “I’m not only pursuing a career for myself, but pursuing a career for people that come after me. How can I help them? This may never happen for me, but how can I help the people that are coming up after me?” – Mickey Guyton “I would say to anyone out there who is struggling to change either physically or mentally or emotionally that you really need to dig deep and find what your “why” is. You are going to have to rely on that every single day when it’s hard.” - Lea Hurley “I’m a major dessert person, so I figured out that I can make nut butter taste like the desserts that I was missing, but still have all the things that I was allowed to have.” - Lea Hurley “I feel like you just have to be plugged into Him, plugged into the Word all the time, so that you can receive what He’s trying to tell you and to be open to where it might come from.” - Lea Hurley ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

In this episode of Risky Conversations, I sit down with my friend, neighbor-turned-guest, and multi-hyphenate powerhouse Rachael Eckles—lawyer, author, coach, and founder of the Aphrodite Author Program.We dive into what it means to defy death as a woman in midlife. Both in the spy-novel sense (Rachael's Celeste Donovan series delivers plenty of that) and in the very real, everyday way of reclaiming energy, purpose, and joy through menopause and beyond. Rachael draws from her background in life sciences and women's health to demystify hormone therapy, bust outdated myths, and remind us that women don't have to suffer in silence.We also talk about creativity as activism: how Rachael's novels give us a messy, powerful heroine who refuses to be dismissed, and how the Aphrodite Author Program empowers women to publish their own stories with purpose and passion.If you're a professional woman navigating perimenopause, craving representation, or dreaming of writing your own book, this conversation is a reminder: your story matters, your health matters, and your power is only growing.Connect with us: Jamie Lee Coach website www.jamieleecoach.comConnect with Jamie on IG/YouTube: @jamieleecoachRachael Eckles website: www.rachaeleckles.comConnect with Rachael on IG/Twitter/TikTok: @rachaelecklesFollow on Facebook @rachaelecklesauthorMenopause resources: Menopause.orgDr. Mary Claire Haver Dr. Rachel RubinDr. Vonda Wright Dr. Lisa Mosconi Dr. Lila NachtigallElektraHealth Midi Health Text me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show?

This week on the Tough Girl Podcast, we welcome Emma Wilkinson—a freelance health journalist, ultra runner, mother of three, and co-author of the empowering book Ultra Women: The Trailblazers Defying Sexism in Sport.  Emma's journey into ultra running didn't begin until her 40s, but once she discovered the joy of going long and slow, there was no turning back. In this honest and motivating conversation, Emma shares how she went from half marathons and road running to self-created 100K adventures in the mountains of Snowdonia. Alongside fellow runner and friend Lily Canter, she set out to research and write Ultra Women, a book that celebrates female endurance athletes and dives into the science, stories, and social constructs around women in ultra sport. Emma talks openly about what inspired the book, how she balanced full-time work, parenting, and running while writing it, and what she learned about the unique strengths women bring to endurance challenges—especially around fatigue resistance, pain management, and mental toughness. If you've ever doubted your capabilities, struggled with self-identifying as a “runner,” or wondered if your body was made for ultras—this episode is for you. Emma's message is simple and powerful: don't put limits on yourself—just give it a go.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Day 1,275.Today, as Russia's foreign minister accuses the Coalition of the Willing of “undermining” efforts to secure peace in Ukraine – comments later described as nothing but “noise” – Vladimir Putin makes clear how serious he is about negotiating peace by launching another mass aerial attack. Far from ending the war, we hear how Donald Trump is apparently going to “step back” from peace talks “for now”.

In this clip from the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette insider Christopher Carter to analyze the leadership and locker room presence Aaron Rodgers is bringing to the Steelers. What do Skylar Thompson's glowing remarks about Rodgers tell us about how his new teammates are receiving him? To what degree is he defying the "circus" label that accompanied him from the New York Jets? Has he humbled himself because of that experience? Does he see value in just being one of the guys in coach Mike Tomlin's locker room alongside other veterans like T.J. Watt, DK Metcalf, Cam Heyward and Jalen Ramsey? And how does his leadership style compare to that of Russell Wilson last year? Our guys tackles those questions and more.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Dr. Nir Barzilai for a conversation that turned out to be both lively and thought-provoking. His decades of research on centenarians, biological age, and the hallmarks of aging have shaped how we think about longevity—and what's possible when we start targeting aging itself, not just individual diseases. We get into the science behind why some people live 20–30 years longer and healthier, and what it means to measure the biological age of individual organs. But we also hit a few sparks—especially when it comes to nutraceuticals and the role of metformin in prevention. I don't agree with everything you'll hear, and I followed up with Dr. Barzilai afterward to unpack some of the more provocative claims. We may just need a second round for this one... stay tuned.

Dive into the chilling unknown with The Mortals as we uncover two true stories of survival against impossible odds. On July 7, 2005, a London commuter faces the terror of the 7/7 bombings deep underground, while on December 26, 2004, a fisherman in Aceh, Indonesia, battles the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami. How did they endure when everything seemed lost? These lesser-known accounts will leave you questioning the forces that guide us through life's darkest moments. Join host Nathan Morris for tales of near-death and mysterious intervention that linger long after the episode ends.

This week on the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Lily Canter—an ultra runner, women's running coach, journalist, and passionate advocate for gender equality in sport. As co-author of the groundbreaking book Ultra Women, Lily is helping to challenge outdated narratives and spotlight the women redefining endurance running. Lily didn't grow up considering herself sporty, but after joining a triathlon club in her 30s, she discovered a love for running that quickly evolved into a passion for ultras. What began as a spontaneous 30-mile run turned into a deeper journey into the ultra world—culminating in a 250km multi-day race across Tanzania and a growing commitment to empowering more women through education, coaching, and research. In this episode, Lily opens up about the gaps she saw in female-specific training information, how she and co-author Emma Wilkinson tackled the research for their book, and why visibility, representation, and equity matter—on the trails and in the media. From coaching to kit, sports bras to science, Lily shares what still needs to change and how she's pushing those boundaries herself. Whether you're curious about tackling your first ultra or passionate about equity in endurance sports, this episode offers practical insight and powerful inspiration.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Join us for a time of recharging, reflecting, and releasing through the gold heart of tee. This Teatime with Miss Liz brings forward a story of perseverance, heartbreak, and the unshakable courage to rewrite life's narrative.At 40, Cheri Bergeron was told her dream of becoming a mother was nearly impossible. The statistics were brutal, the disappointments relentless, and the silence isolating. But Cheri refused to accept that her story was over.Through six long years of fertility battles, heartbreak, and resilience, she discovered an unexpected path—one that gifted her not only the miracle of motherhood but also the mission to empower other women facing similar struggles. As founder of Cheri's Choice, author of Mission: Motherhood, and a life coach guiding women through alternative paths to family, Cheri is proof that sometimes the most powerful stories are the ones we never saw coming.This Golden Heart Surprise Teatime is for every woman who has ever felt defeated, unworthy, or “too late.” It's for those who need to be reminded that dreams can take a different shape—and still be beautiful.Join us for a heartfelt and transformative conversation that celebrates love, resilience, and the golden heart it takes to beat the odds.#GoldenHeartTeatime #FertilityAfter40 #MotherhoodJourney #CherisChoice #MissionMotherhood #DefyingTheOdds #WomensVoices #HealingThroughStories #EmpoweredMotherhood #TeatimeWithMissLiz#goldenhearttee #misslizstee #refection #Recharging #releasing

Hello to you listening in London, England!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for courage) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.It's true what they say: "A story grows in the gaps where the facts fall short." 47 and his cabal are exploiting the gaps to create cruel and obscene stories because they have no facts.Headlines that repeat 47's cruel and obscene stories like reign of terror, being on the eve of destruction, days of the dictator, subservience to the sociopath, and so on reinforce these stories. The more these stories are told without the counterbalance of truth, facts, good news, and how We the People are fighting back, the more these lies will take hold in our exhausted minds because these stories keep on gushing like torrents of water out of a broken fire hydrant.Hear me when I say this: I am no idiot. Treacherous times are alive and afoot. 47 and his criminally complicit cabinet, feckless GOP congress, and subservient SCOTUS on speed dial are after nothing short of the utter desecration of our country. So, We the People must continue to push back, show up, stand up, speak up, fight and ever fight!In the darkest days of World War II when all looked lost in the face of Nazi Germany's advance across Europe and the Dunkirk evacuation, Winston Churchill summoned the will of the British people against those odds.    His famous "We shall fight on the beaches" speech was a galvanizing address delivered to the House of Commons on June 4, 1940.Listen to a portion of history: “The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”Imagine the immense sacrifice and effort required of the British people to face the adversity and pummeling hardships of war. And yet, they did with courage and determination, with unwavering resolve to resist the Nazi threat, even to the last person, if necessary.If the British defeated the Nazis - against all odds - who are we not to follow in their footsteps and prevail against the enemy within our shores? We have no Churchill to summon us to battle; but we shall fight and we shall win because We the People are defying them and their obscenely hateful stories.Thank you for listening and making good trouble to liberate the land of the free and the home of the brave.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu has continued to defend his government's plan to escalate the war in Gaza, despite widespread international condemnation and outrage.The Israeli leader claims his security cabinet's decision to capture Gaza City, which could mean months, possibly years, of combat ahead, is “the best way to end the war, and the best way to end it speedily”.The plan has resulted in protests across Israel with calls for a total end to the war and the release of hostages. Israeli military leaders have also opposed the plan.Meanwhile, starvation continues to spread across Gaza, with Israel permitting just a fraction of the aid needed to address the catastrophic levels of hunger into the strip.And this week, five journalists, including a prominent Al Jazeera reporter, were killed in a targeted Israeli air strike. Their deaths bring to 192 the total number of journalists who have died since the war in Gaza nearly two years ago, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.Why, in the face of all this, is Mr Netanyahu pushing ahead to reoccupy Gaza City, despite overwhelming opposition to his plan?Today, on In The News, Netanyahu says the plan to control Gaza city will end the war. But, is that what he really wants?Irish Times contributor Mark Weiss discusses the fallout from the Israeli Government's decision to take control of Gaza city.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

VR2 - Vapid Response Wednesday returns live on video for another round of bad-faith legal takes from the American right's leading--well, let's just go with “minds.” We begin with a quick check-in on the divided state of the U.S. “sovereign citizen” movement via a short explainer video in which one of its leading grifters denounces a whole new set of grifters who are promoting the concept of an “American State National.” We then plumb new depths of dumbassery from Harvard Law school professor/crypto-theocrat Adrian Vermeule. In a recent New York Times op-ed, Vermeule has called out the true villains of the American judiciary: lower court judges who aren't doing exactly what Adrian Vermeule imagines the Supreme Court has told them to do. Matt breaks down why this column doesn't provide a single example of the trend it purports to be exposing, and Lydia has the details on one of MAGA's favorite legal scholars. Who is Adrian Vermeule, what is “Catholic integralism,” and why is a man who has previously gone to so much effort to hide his true beliefs behind “common-good Constitutionalism” showing his entire ass in the pages of the NYT? Then, we preview a *patron-only* bonus where we go into overtime to witness the spectacle of Alan Dershowitz's lengthy but extremely unconvincing arguments as to why everyone should be required to sell him pierogi under force of law.

After getting out of their last monogamous relationship early in their college experience, Marla fell in love with their best friend and never really looked back.

In this episode, we welcome Marla Schreiber, author of the new book Non-Monogamy and Defying a Paradigm, to discuss what it truly means to question and move beyond mononormativity.Marla brings a fresh perspective as someone who's been practicing polyamory since 2005, when resources were scarce and community was hard to find. Their journey offers valuable insights for anyone questioning relationship structures or feeling constrained by societal expectations.Paradigm shifts aren't just intellectual exercises—they're deeply personal transformations that require courage, patience, and a willingness to exist in uncertainty. Whether you're considering non-monogamy or simply questioning other societal norms, this conversation offers wisdom about the challenging but rewarding process of creating your own path.In this episode, we talk about:— What paradigms are and why they're so difficult to challenge— The humbling experience of trying to create new relationship structures without established models— How mono-normativity is embedded not just in our social world but in legal systems and economic structures— Why it takes 3-5 years (or more!) to truly begin shifting paradigms— The scarcity model that underlies mono-normativity and how it affects our sense of security— Why "exclusivity" often stands in for deeper values and needs that can be met in other ways— How couples privilege operates and why it's challenging to recognize when you're benefiting from it— The courage required to question your approach, even after years of practice— Why defiance can be a powerful tool when challenging established norms— The importance of staying in the "unknown" rather than rushing to create new rigid structuresResources mentioned in this episode:— Marla Schreiber's new book Non-Monogamy and Defying a Paradigm— Marla's socials: @PolyaMarla— Marla's newsletter at polyamarla.com— The new edition of More Than TwoJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

Trump has revitalized military recruitment and turned the armed forced from “fat” to “fit,” reshaped America's foreign alliances, and delivered bold results that no one expected—and many actively warned against. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down why, in the face of naysayers and “experts” claiming it couldn't be done, this even more of a momentous feat on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The economy did not crash or crater. Wall Street is at all-time high. Stock prices, job growth unexpectedly—that's a word have to use because the Left always says it's going to get very angry. The angry Left. And they're very angry and they say, ‘It's not going to work.' And then they have to say, ‘Well, it worked.'” “ The idea that all of their Ph.D.s, all the letters after their names, all of their ZIP codes, all of their prestige meant nothing. That here we have a billionaire builder from New York, with a Queens accent, who's transactional. And he was able to create a revolutionary change in culture, in social life, in economics, on foreign policy, on border security. And we can see the fruits of that in just three weeks, contrary to what everybody told us. It's startling. It's embarrassing for them.” 00:00 Trump's Recent Achievements 00:14 Military and Recruitment Successes 01:42 Economic Triumphs Under Trump 02:18 Cultural and Social Shifts 03:11 Defying the Experts 04:28 Trump's Unprecedented Success 05:58 Conclusion
