Podcasts about Desire

Motherhood and sexuality—two things we're told don't belong in the same sentence. But who made that rule? And why are we still following it? Steph wasn't about to. After decades of marriage, she found herself single, re-entering the dating world with a libido very much intact. But society had a different script for her: midlife divorce means fading into the background. Sex? Desire? Not for women past a certain age. Well. About that. In this episode, Steph shares what really happens when you stop putting yourself last—how desire resurfaces, how dating multiple people changes the game, and why owning your sexuality is about so much more than sex. If you've ever wondered whether life gets smaller after divorce, press play. The answer is a resounding no.

As the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus observed, “The only constant in life is change.” While change in our personal and professional lives is inevitable, adapting to it can be difficult and often leads to feelings of resistance. When it comes to organizational change initiatives, the ADKAR® model – which stands for Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability and Reinforcement – is renowned for guiding successful change, beginning at the individual level.  As a senior fellow at Prosci, the leading global change management research and training organization that developed the ADKAR model, Karen Ball has been helping individuals and organizations implement effective changes and achieve benefits not thought possible for over 40 years. Karen is an ACMP-certified Change Management Professional, a certified IDEO Design Thinking practitioner, and the author of Prosci's latest publication, “The ADKAR Advantage: Your New Lens for Successful Change.” In addition to her role as an executive instructor, Karen continues to develop Prosci offerings and engage with clients as a change advisor, working with organizations such as UNICEF, Wells Fargo, Bose Corporation, and Dow Chemical. In Episode 228 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Karen shares the following:  An overview of the ADKAR model and examples of how it might manifest in different contexts, as well as how it relates to the communication and training processes involved in organizational change initiatives Tips for individuals who may be resistant to proposed changes, as well as techniques their leaders can use to support them How ADKAR functions as a sense-making and way-finding tool that can help create a sense of calm and clarity for both individuals and organizations navigating complex change Why it's crucial for leaders to go through their own ADKAR journeys, as well as key steps that leaders must take in order to be effective sponsors of change   To connect with Karen, find her on LinkedIn, or visit https://www.prosci.com to learn more about the ADKAR model and explore other resources.

In this episode of Getting Real with Monick Halm, we're diving into a critical mindset shift that could make or break your financial future—why waiting for the “perfect” time to invest in real estate is actually costing you opportunities, wealth, and ultimately, financial freedom.Many aspiring investors ask, "Is now the right time to buy?"

But the reality is, waiting for the stars to align often means missing out on years of potential growth, passive income, and wealth-building opportunities.Monick shares her own real estate investing journey, starting in 2005—right before the financial crash.

This session will provide actionable strategies for investing in any market, ensuring you don't fall into the common trap of waiting too long.

Shyness - The Quite Battle Ep 253IntroductionThe podcast is hosted by Merrill Hutchinson and Carl Andry, featuring discussions about overcoming shyness and social anxiety, particularly focusing on strategies to engage with people and "work a room." They emphasize that shyness often stems from self-centeredness and anxiety rather than humility, and provide insights on how to develop social skills.Understanding ShynessPersonal ExperiencesMerrill shares his struggle with painful shyness and anxiety, which he felt deeply affected his social interactions.Carl discusses his own experiences with shyness, highlighting that both men often have a silent internal struggle when it comes to social situations.The Mechanics of ShynessThe hosts identify shyness as not merely a personality trait but a skill that can be learned and improved upon.They explain that natural extroverts might find social interactions easier, while others need to develop techniques to manage their anxiety and communicate effectively.Strategies for Overcoming Shyness1. Desire to ChangeThe first step in overcoming shyness is the sincere desire to engage with others. Individuals must recognize the benefits of social interactions, including networking opportunities and personal connections.2. Learning to "Work a Room"Working a room is not about manipulation but about developing the skill to engage genuinely with others.The importance of learning and practicing skills such as making eye contact, shaking hands, and being present in conversations.3. The Importance of Small TalkSmall talk is vital in breaking the ice. Engaging in small talk allows individuals to gauge a person's interest and comfort level before diving into deeper discussions.4. Asking QuestionsThey encourage asking open-ended questions to invite others into a conversation. This technique reduces the pressure on the shy individual to share about themselves and allows others to express their thoughts.Carl emphasizes the art of questioning, stating that it can lead to meaningful exchanges and help shy individuals engage more comfortably.5. Active ListeningActive listening is crucial in social interactions. The hosts stress the importance of giving full attention to the person speaking, which helps to foster connections and validate others' feelings and stories.6.

By practicing in front of larger groups, individuals can build confidence in their speaking abilities and learn to manage their anxiety.7. Body Language and PresenceProper body language, such as standing tall, making eye contact, and offering a firm handshake, communicates confidence.The hosts note that these non-verbal cues can significantly affect how others perceive and respond to you.8. Embracing AuthenticityAuthenticity is essential.

Let's talk about what everyone's thinking but not always saying: is my sex life normal? In today's innuendo-filled episode, we're diving into five key areas to check in on with your partner: communication, desire, pleasure, connection, and exploration.    Coming from the unique perspective of being previously married to men and now in a relationship with each other, we share our insights on how deep intimacy can truly go in these five categories. We'll also discuss why women fake orgasms (and the impact on both partners) and explore possibilities of why younger generations are having less sex overall. Get ready for an open, honest, and insightful conversation that just might change the way you approach intimacy!   Podcasts mentioned: Pillow Talks | Vanessa + Xander Marin Sex with Emily | Dr. Emily Morse   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Desire doesn't diminish, it evolves. Long-term relationships don't always mean your passion will fade. Instead, your desire can shift and deepen in ways you may not have expected, but you have to be intentional about it. Honest communication creates a ripple effect. Open conversations with your partner can strengthen not just your relationship, but also your interactions with all the people you interact with.  Curiosity sustains intimacy. Staying curious and open to exploration—both emotionally and physically—keeps the connection alive and thriving. Just keep that open communication about boundaries!   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

Hello Rank Squad! In a bit of a break from tradition, and after witnessing an absorbing encounter between Liverpool and PSG at Anfield, we decided this week might be a good one to switch things up and discuss the thing everyone will be discussing come Wednesday morning - the action from the Champions League, so this is the first of two UCL Takeaway episodes that will be with you this week. We start on Merseyside, where football reminded us it's a funny old game. Liverpool were outmatched in Paris last Wednesday, but came away with a 1-0 win against PSG; but on a night where they gave a far better account of themselves at home, they ended up losing the game 1-0 and being knocked out on penalties. Work that one out. We give PSG their due for a mighty performance over two legs, and discuss just how far this very talented side could go in this competition, as well as looking at what Liverpool might have done differently, and where the squad might need to be strengthened to push forwards again next season. Then in Part Two, we move over to the rest of the action, dissecting Barcelona's 3-1 win over Benfica where Lamine Yamal and Raphinha set some more records, as well as Pedri's astounding performance in the heart of midfield. We touch on Bayern, who Dean correctly backed in our power ranking episode, and how Leverkusen melted in the heat of the knockout stages; and finish with Inter, who made light work of Feyenoord even with a heavily rotated squad, and who are ticking along nicely in this competition. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

I'm honored that he chooses to stay and grow in this amazing community even though he has ‘sampled' others. I loved learning WHY he keeps showing up. Basically, it comes down to 'The Work Works.' Pretty much every area of Chris' life is better AND he's more at peace with himself, life and dreaming a bigger future. In this intimate chat between old friends, we also discussed… -How Chris evolved his worth from his accomplishments to his very essence which no one and nothing can take away. -How he moved from anger and frustration to empathy and gratitude that his parents did their best and he's embracing new ways of being ending generational sabotaging patterns. -How he provides for himself what he never received growing up, leading to more confidence talking to women, less anxiety facing life challenges and deeper connection with the members of the coaching group. -How he's making more money, being more valued and even creating a video game from scratch- the first of many to come- AND embracing erotic voice overs! I've heard them. They're HOT.  -How he's dreaming bigger with love…. When he no longer needs a relationship to complete him, the attachment dissolved, and his true heart's desire is leading the way. He's bravely shared he wants to be a Dad.  The Work Works!!!

Today on the Logan Blackman Show we go over everything that has taken place through the first few days of NFL free agency. With that we start by discussing the Seattle Seahawks' recent moves, from sending Geno Smith to Las Vegas and DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh to cutting franchise legend Tyler Lockett after 10-seasons. We then take a look at some other moves from around the league, mainly focusing on Sam Darnold replacing Geno, the JJ McCarthy era, and Myles Garrett ultimately revealing what his true desire is/was. Finally, we take a look at some really strange quarterback comparisons for the 2025 NFL Draft as well as reading out the list of every player that was signed on day one of free agency. Enjoy!

Relationships have been severed because of political divide. The truth is, we are more alike than we are different.

Do you want unshakeable confidence? Women say that one of the most attractive, safe and trustable things about a man is his confidence in himself. In this episode I explain why honesty in knowing who you are, what you're thinking, what you're feeling and what you want to create next is the key to becoming confident in yourself again.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable. There's an amazing tribe of guys in this group with us, supporting and helping each other through this process of growth and self realization. https://goodguys2greatmen.com/goodguys2greatmen-live-coaching-roundtable/ If you're facing possible divorce, we have an online course which is specifically for you - Defuse the Divorce Bomb: https://mojopolis.thinkific.com/courses/HDDB-preview?ref=a53950 What if this next year everything changed for you? That's what we want for you brother, We love teaching men these tools - how to be better, how to know who you are, what you stand for, what you want and how to CREATE it in your life through our Masculine Confidence coaching programs. Dan and I are here to guide you on this mission.https://goodguys2greatmen.com/mens-relationship-coaching/ Steve's book Straight Talk Tools for the Desperate Husband will help you to lead yourself and your relationship back to good health.

What does it mean to understand Venus as the Intimate Benefic?What might Venus in Aries teach us about confronting and advocating for our desires? Our guest today, Suprasensory Shahir, is one of my favorite emissaries of Venus.

Everyday items found at the sites of atrocities possess a striking emotional force. Victims' garments, broken glasses, wallets, shoes, and other such personal property that are recovered from places of death including concentration camps, mass graves, and prisons have become staples of memorial museums, exhibited to the public as material testimony in order to evoke sympathy and promote human rights. How do these objects take on such power, and what are the benefits and pitfalls of deploying them for political purposes? A Victim's Shoe, a Broken Watch, and Marbles: Desire Objects and Human Rights (Columbia University Press, 2025) by Dr. Lea David examines how artifacts of atrocities circulate and, in so doing, sheds new light on the institutions and social processes that shape collective memory of human rights abuses. Dr. Lea David traces the journeys of what she terms “desire objects”: their rediscovery at the locations of mass atrocities, their use in forensic and legal procedures, their return to the homes of grieving families, their appearance in public spaces such as museums and exhibitions, and their role in political protests. She critically investigates the logic that shapes why and how desire objects gain symbolic power and political significance, showing when and under what circumstances they are used to promote particular worldviews and narratives. Featuring both novel theoretical methods and keen empirical analysis, this book offers important insights into the shortcomings of common assumptions about human rights. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

People who complain a lot are affecting their brains. And not in a good way. 

Are you truly doing whatever it takes to reach your goals? In this motivational episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training Podcast, Dr. Fred Schofield and Dr. FJ Schofield dive deep into the heart of what drives success: discipline, consistency, and a clear goal that motivates you.

In episode 68 we explore themes of time, place, race and identity in BLITZ , the 2024 World War II drama written and directed by Academy and BAFTA-Award-winning filmmaker Steve McQueen. BLITZ is told from the unique perspective and epic journey of a 9-year-old biracial boy named George (played by newcomer Elliott Heffernan) whose mother sends him from London to safety in the English countryside. But George doesn't want to go to the countryside and be separated from his mother and grandfather Gerald (Paul Weller). Defiant and determined George makes his escape to return home to East London. Our guest, Tré Ventour-Griffiths, is a multiply-disabled historian, creative writer, and sociologist with interests in Black histories, race and disability, pop culture and insurgent politics. His PhD research uses creative storytelling methods to consider a multigenerational story of Caribbean Northants (Northamptonshire) Post-1942. ------TIMESTAMPS0:56 - Exploring Blitz World War 2 Historical Context3:44 - Introduction to Tré Ventour-Griffiths5:12 - Tré Ventour-Griffiths's Research and Scholarship15:10 - Time and Relativity in BLITZ25:33 - Black rural and town peoples in the UK29:42 - Generic Break30:18 History of Racial Hostilities in UK, Social, Economic and Sexual Policing43:55 - Empire Arcade -- Representation and Racism in British Culture and Art51:34 - Desire for Historical Representation of Black Children as Children54:30 - Where to Watch BLITZ56:17 - DisclaimerSUBSCRIBE to the podcast on your favorite podcast platformLISTEN to past past podcasts and bonus episodesSIGN UP for our mailing listSUPPORT this podcast  SHOP THE PODCAST on our affiliate bookstoreBuy us a Coffee!

Todd McGowan joins the show once again, this time to discuss his newest book "Pure Excess: Capitalism and the Commodity". Together, he and Breht discuss commodity fetishism, the tensions between Marxism and psychoanalysis, what a critique of the subjective aspects of capitalism offers anti-capitalist politics, the "superstructural malaise" of late capitalism, Desire and Lack, capitalism's death drive, how to resist becoming a neoliberal subject, and much more.  "Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, McGowan shows how the production of commodities explains the role of excess in the workings of capitalism. Capitalism and the commodity ensnare us with the image of the constant fulfillment of our desires―the seductive but unattainable promise of satisfying a longing that has no end. To challenge this system, McGowan turns to art, arguing that it can expose the psychological mechanisms that perpetuate capitalist society and reveal the need for limits. Featuring lively writing and engaging examples from film, literature, and popular culture, Pure Excess uncovers the hidden logic of capitalism―and helps us envision a noncapitalist life in a noncapitalist society."

Many people enter foster care with the hope of adoption, but is that wrong? This question has sparked discussion and even some controversy in the foster care community. For some, the desire to adopt stems from infertility or simply wanting to grow their family. In this episode, we discuss the realities of fostering with the heart to adopt and what it means to balance that desire with the primary goal of foster care—family reunification.We discuss the process of dual licensing, the differences between being a foster parent and an adoptive parent, and the importance of providing stability for children in care. There is often stigma or shame around wanting to adopt through foster care, but it's not inherently wrong. Adoption actually is a beautiful outcome. But we must also keep our heart in check, ensuring we are also supporting reunification efforts for the child in our home. Join us for an honest conversation about navigating these emotions and expectations while fostering with love and purpose.Episode Highlights: Fostering to Adopt Dual LicensingInfertility Prioritizing Reunification Adoption Stability mattersLinks from this Episode:Learn more about Trisha White Priebe Schedule Coffee with a Hope Bridge Team MemberFind More on Hope Bridge:Visit Our Website Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook Foster Our Community Instagram This show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.
